Studies of phase transitions in molecular crystals are becoming more commonplace as improvements in instrumentation and technique enable more efficient exploration of the behavior of samples with varying external conditions, usually temperature. This scientific commentary provides contextual background on this type of study, with reference to an article on transformations in a ferrocenyl-acetylide-gold(I) complex [Makal (2018). Acta Cryst. B74, 427-435].

晶体变压器：比眼神更重要。

随着仪器和技术的改进，可以在各种外部条件（通常是温度）下更有效地探索样品的行为，因此分子晶体中相变的研究变得越来越普遍。该科学评论提供了有关二茂铁基-乙炔化物-金（I）络合物转化的文章[Makal（2018）。Acta Cryst。B74，427-435]。
