ABSTRACT
Four solid phases of [Zn(DMSO)6](ClO4)2 have been detected by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Specifically, the phase transitions were detected between: metastable phase KII - overcooled phase K0 at T = 315 K, stable phase KIb - stable phase KIa at T = 341 K, stable phase KIa - stable phase K0 at T = 355 K. At Tm2 = 389 K crystals partially and at Tm1 = 465 K completely melts. From the entropy change values it was concluded that the phases: K0 and K0' are the orientationally dynamically disordered phases, so called ODDIC crystals, and phases KIa, KIb and metastable KII are dynamically ordered but with some degree of positional disorder.
