The compound [CH3 CH2 NH3][Cu(HCOO)3] undergoes a phase transition at 357 K, from a perovskite to a diamond structure, by heating. The backward transition can be driven by pressure at room temperature but not cooling under ambient or lower pressure. The rearrangement of one long copper-formate bond, the switch of bridging-chelating mode of the formate, the alternation of N-H⋅⋅⋅O H-bonds, and the flipping of ethylammonium are involved in the transition. The strong N-H⋅⋅⋅O H-bonding probably locks the metastable diamond phase. The two phases display magnetic and electric orderings of different characters.
化合物 [CH3 CH2 NH3][Cu(HCOO)3] 在 357 K 时通过加热从钙钛矿结构转变为金刚石结构。在室温下,通过加压可以驱动反向转变,但在环境压力或更低压力下冷却则不行。转变涉及到一条长的铜甲酸盐键的重排、甲酸盐桥联螯合模式的切换、N-H···O 氢键的交替以及乙基铵的翻转。强的 N-H···O 氢键可能锁定亚稳的金刚石相。这两种相显示出不同性质的磁有序和电有序。
