The substantially disordered structure of 2-biphenylol [Perrin et al. (1987). Acta Cryst. C43, 980-982; Kapon & Reisner (1988). Acta Cryst. C44, 2039] has been reinvestigated as a function of temperature. The structure was determined at 305, 294, 145 and 90 K; crystals were taken to the lowest temperature both rapidly and slowly (0.1 K min(-1)). The results of the previous room-temperature study were confirmed and no important structural change was found down to 90 K. Comparisons with structures known for other simple 2- and 2,2'-substituted biphenyl derivatives suggest that the molecular stacks found for 2-biphenylol are probable for related molecules. The disorder in 2-biphenylol allows the formation of some O-H...O bonds, but packing efficiency is a more important factor in this structure than is hydrogen bonding.

The crystal structures and hyperfine magnetic parameters of EuFe(BO) and mixed EuLaFe(BO) were studied over a wide temperature range in order to analyze correlations of the structural and magnetic features and the phase transitions in multiferroic compounds of the rare-earth iron borate family. The chemical compositions of the crystals are reported from X-ray fluorescence analysis. The crystal structures of EuFe(BO) and EuLaFe(BO) were determined using single-crystal X-ray diffraction in the temperature range 25-500 K.

In the title compound, CHN·2CHNO, 4-nitro-phenol and 4,4'-bi-pyridine crystallized together in a 2:1 ratio in the space group 2/. There is a hydrogen-bonding inter-action between the nitro-gen atoms on the 4,4'-bi-pyridine mol-ecule and the hydrogen atom on the hydroxyl group on the 4-nitro-phenol, resulting in trimolecular units. This structure is a polymorph of a previously reported structure [Nayak & Pedireddi (2016 ▸).
