The n-alkylammonium halides which have thermal transitions above room temperature adopt either a monoclinic or an orthorhombic form when recrystallized at temperatures below the lowest transition. On heating a transition to a tetragonal structure occurs but on subsequent cooling the crystals do not return to their original form but to a different monoclinic structure.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
