高压下D,L-扁桃酸结构相变的拉曼光谱研究

采用金刚石对顶砧高压装置,在室温下对D,L-扁桃酸(C8H8O3)进行了原位高压拉曼光谱研究,实验最高压力为2.2 GPa.结果表明,原来的一些拉曼峰在0.6 GPa左右突然消失或者劈裂,并同时出现了一些新的拉曼峰.通过进一步分析D,L-扁桃酸的拉曼频率随压力的变化,发现许多拉曼峰的移动在0.6 GPa时都出现了拐点.D,L-扁桃酸在0.6 GPa发生了由正交相(Pbca)到单斜相(P21/c)的压致结构相变.通过分析相变前后晶体结构及拉曼振动模式的变化,认为此压致结构相变是由高压下分子的密堆积效应和氢键结构的重新排列导致.完全卸压至常压后,卸压拉曼光谱与常压拉曼光谱一致,表明此压致相变可逆.

Phonon behavior of CaSnO3 perovskite under pressure

Raman scattering and x-ray diffraction studies of CaSnO(3) perovskite were performed under high-pressure conditions. This high-pressure study was motivated by a recent theoretical study predicting a phase transition in CaSnO(3) from GdFeO(3)-type perovskite to CaIrO(3)-type structure occurred at 12 GPa. Despite no obvious structure change up to a pressure of 26 GPa based on the x-ray diffraction data, high pressure Raman measurements revealed that some Raman modes disappeared upon compression; either merging into neighboring bands or vanishing. The signals for these Raman peaks were recovered during decompression. The measured pressure derivative of Raman shift (?ν∕?P) of CaSnO(3) ranged from ~1.29 to ~4.35, up to 20 GPa. Due to the lack of lattice dynamic study for CaSnO(3) perovskite, the mode symmetry for CaSnO(3) was tentatively assigned based on the empirical relation among Ca-bearing perovskites. The pressure derivative of the Raman shifts was found to be related to their mode vibrations: modes related to Ca and O shifts had a strong pressure dependence compared with those associated with oxygen octahedral rotation.     

High-pressure studies of cyclohexane to 40 GPa

We present data from two room temperature synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction studies of cyclohexane up to approximately 40 and approximately 20 GPa. In the first experiment, pressure cycling was employed wherein pressure was varied up to approximately 16 GPa, reduced to 3.5 GPa, and then raised again to 40 GPa. Initially, the sample was found to be in the monoclinic phase (P12(1)/n1) at approximately 8.4 GPa. Beyond this pressure, the sample adopted triclinic unit cell symmetry (P1) which remained so even when the pressure was reduced to 3.5 GPa, indicating significant hysteresis and metastability. In the second experiment, pressure was more slowly varied, and the monoclinic unit cell structure (P12(1)/n1) was observed at lower pressures up to approximately 7 GPa, above which a phase transformation into the P1 triclinic unit cell symmetry occurred. Thus, the pressure onset of the triclinic phase may be dependent upon the pressurizing conditions. High-pressure Raman data that further emphasize a phase transition (probably into phase VI) around 10 GPa are also presented. We also have further evidence for a phase VII, which is probably triclinic.     

Pressure-induced structural changes of the tetragonal Bi2CuO4

The tetragonal compound Bi₂CuO₄ was investigated at high pressures by using in situ Raman scattering and X-ray diffraction (XRD) methods. A pressure-induced structural transition started at 20 GPa and completed at ∼37 GPa was found. The high pressure phase is in orthorhombic symmetry. Raman and XRD measurements revealed that the above phase transition is reversible.     

High-pressure studies of 1,3,5,7-cyclooctatetraene: experiment and theory

High-pressure studies of 1,3,5,7-cyclooctatetraene have been performed by using Raman spectroscopy up to 16 GPa and compared with complementary density functional calculations. Angular-dispersive X-ray diffraction studies were also performed in the solid state at elevated pressure. The lattice constants of solid 1,3,5,7-cyclooctatetraene obtained from the X-ray diffraction pattern taken at 3.8 GPa and room temperature are in good agreement with theoretical results. At least two phase transitions were observed during pressure increase followed by the loss of long-range crystallographic order, which was also associated with a strong pressure-induced luminescence that allowed estimation of band gap alterations with pressure.     

Pressure-induced polymerization of diiodobutadiyne in assembled cocrystals

Diiodobutadiyne forms cocrystals with bis(pyridyl)oxalamides in which the diyne alignment is near the ideal parameters for topochemical polymerization to the ordered conjugated polymer, poly(diiododiacetylene) (PIDA). Nonetheless, previous efforts to induce polymerization in these samples via heat or irradiation were unsuccessful. We report here the successful ordered polymerization of diiodobutadiyne in these cocrystals, by subjecting them to high external pressure (0.3-10 GPa). At the lower end of the pressure range, the samples contain primarily monomer, as demonstrated by X-ray diffraction studies, but some polymerization does occur, leading to a pronounced color change from colorless to blue and to the development of intense Raman peaks at 962, 1394, and 2055 cm-1, corresponding to the poly(diacetylene). At higher pressures, the samples turn black and contain primarily polymer, as determined by solid-state NMR and Raman spectroscopy. Both density functional theory calculations (B3LYP/LanL2DZ) and comparisons to authentic samples of PIDA have confirmed the data analysis.     

High Pressure Behavior of Mercury Cyanamide HgCN2

Using the diamond anvil cell technique, angle‐dispersive X‐ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy were employed to study the high pressure behavior of mercury cyanamide. Its decomposition under pressure starts at 1.9 GPa and is not completed even up to 10 GPa. The decomposition product α‐Hg transforms to β‐Hg during 7–10 GPa, while the C/N residual is not detectable by X‐ray diffraction. The zero pressure bulk modulus of mercury cyanamide is estimated as 38.5 GPa.     

High-pressure,High-temperature Synthesis and Properties of the Monoclinic Phase of Y2O3

The monoclinic phase of Y₂O₃(B-RES) has been synthesized using a Kawai-type multi-anvil apparatus under 20 GPa at 1800 ℃. Samples of the cubic Y₂O₃(C-RES) and monoclinic Y₂O₃ phases were characterized by synchrotron radiation X-ray diffraction, X-ray absorption near edge structure and Raman spectroscopy. Crystal structures of the cubic and monoclinic phases have been examined using Rietveld refinement of the X-ray diffraction data. The cubic-to-monoclinic transition of Y₂O₃ was reconstructive and irreversible. The X-ray diffraction results were further confirmed by simulation of the X-ray absorption spectra.     

Phase progression via phonon modes in lanthanide dioxides under pressure

The present paper reports the phase progression in nano-crystalline oxides PrO₂ and CeO₂ up to pressures of 49 GPa and 35 GPa, respectively, investigated via in situ Raman spectroscopy at room temperature. The samples were characterized at ambient conditions using X-ray diffraction (XRD), AFM, and Raman spectroscopy and were found to be cubic with fluorite structure. With an increase in applied pressure the cubic bands were seen to steadily shift to higher wavenumbers for both the samples. However, we observed the appearance of a number of new peaks around a pressure of about 34.7 GPa in CeO₂ and 33 GPa in PrO₂ which were characteristic of an orthorhombic α-PbCl₂ type structure. The mode Gruneisen parameters for both the phases were obtained from the pressure dependence of frequency shifts. On decompression, the high pressure phase existed down to a total release of pressure.     

Crystal structure of nitromethane up to the reaction threshold pressure

Angle dispersion X-ray diffraction (AXDX) experiments on nitromethane single crystals and powder were performed at room temperature as a function of pressure up to 19.0 and 27.3 GPa, respectively, in a membrane diamond anvil cell (MDAC). The atomic positions were refined at 1.1, 3.2, 7.6, 11.0, and 15.0 GPa using the single-crystal data, while the equation of state (EOS) was extended up to 27.3 GPa, which is close to the nitromethane decomposition threshold pressure at room temperature in static conditions. The crystal structure was found to be orthorhombic, space group P2(1)2(1)2(1), with four molecules per unit cell, up to the highest pressure. In contrast, the molecular geometry undergoes an important change consisting of a gradual blocking of the methyl group libration about the C-N bond axis, starting just above the melting pressure and completed only between 7.6 and 11.0 GPa. Above this pressure, the orientation of the methyl group is quasi-eclipsed with respect to the NO bonds. This conformation allows the buildup of networks of strong intermolecular O...H-C interactions mainly in the bc and ac planes, stabilizing the crystal structure. This structural evolution determines important modifications in the IR and Raman spectra, occurring around 10 GPa. Present measurements of the Raman and IR vibrational spectra as a function of pressure at different temperatures evidence the existence of a kinetic barrier for this internal rearrangement.
