Abstract

The article has considered physical and crystallographic properties of substances, which expand in crystallization. It has also proposed explanation of manifestation of these properties in the formation of the crystalline lattice of a special type—hexagonal, cubic or tetrahedral with corresponding changes of the length and angles of interatomic and intermolecular bonds. The hexaoctahedral structure of crystals for such substances is the most characteristic. An assumption was expressed that existing impurities in the form of HDO and others may serve as seeding or stabilizers of certain crystalline structures.
