C-halogen...pi dimer and C-H...pi interactions in 1-(2-bromo-4,5-dimethoxybenzyl)-2-butyl-4-chloro-1H-imidazole-5-carbaldehyde and 2-butyl-4-chloro-1-(6-methyl-1,3-benzodioxol-5-ylmethyl)-1H-imidazole-5-carbaldehyde.

The structures of the title compounds, C17H20BrClN2O3, (I), and C17H19ClN2O3, (II), are stabilized by intramolecular C-H...O and C-H...pi interactions. The stability of the molecular packing in (I) and (II) arises from a diverse set of weak intermolecular C-H...O, C-H...pi and C-halogen...pi interactions. In the crystal structure of (I), molecules aggregate in dimeric subunits via C-Br...pi interactions. The dimers are interlinked by C-H...O hydrogen bonds. The halogens cluster together and form a channel along the b axis. In (II), the packing is mainly governed by intermolecular C-H...O and C-H...pi interactions.

Trityl losartan.

The title compound (systematic name: [2-butyl-4-chloro-1-[2'-(2-trityl-2H-tetrazol-5-yl)biphenyl-4-ylmethyl]-1H-imidazol-5-yl]methanol), C(41)H(37)ClN(6)O, crystallizes in the centrosymmetric space group P-1 with two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit. These molecules differ significantly only in the relative orientations of the rings in the biphenylyltetrazole moieties. One of the molecules shows disorder for three C atoms in the n-butyl group. Hydrogen bonds link the molecules in an infinite chain along the a axis.

Electroresistance and electronic phase separation in mixed-valent manganites.

The sensitivity of transport in colossal magnetoresistance (CMR) manganites to external electric and magnetic fields is examined using field effect configurations with La(0.7)Ca(0.3)MnO(3) (LCMO), Na(0.7)Sr(0.3)MnO(3), La(0.7)Ba(0.3)MnO(3), and La(0.5)Ca(0.5)MnO(3) (0.5-doped LCMO) channels, and ferroelectric PbZr(0.2)Ti(0.8)O(3) (PZT) or dielectric (SrTiO(3)) gates. A large electroresistance (ER) of approximately 76% at 4 x 10(5) V/cm is found in LCMO with PZT-ferroelectric gate, but the magnitude of the effect is much smaller (a few percent) in the other three channels. The ER and CMR effects are remarkably complimentary. The size and systematics of the effect strongly favor a percolative phase separation picture.
