Abstract

Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and X‐ray diffraction measurements have been performed on cesium sulfamate CsNH~2~SO~3~ single crystal. Two distinct endothermic peaks in the DSC curves are observed at 330 and 436 K. It is pointed out that the peak at 330 K is attributed to the structural phase transition, and the other peak at 436 K is associated with the thermal decomposition of the crystal. The structures in room‐ and high‐temperasture phases are determined, and the space group of the sample crystal is found to change from monoclinic P 2~1~/c to orthorhombic Pnma. The structure of the room‐temperature phase consists of two different types of N‐H···O hydrogen bond, but in the high‐temperature phase there is no specific hydrogen bond between the NSO~3~ pseudo‐tetrahera.
