Effects of hydrogen at high temperature on ZnAl2O4 and Sn−ZnAl2O4

ZnAl₂O₄ and Sn?ZnAl₂O₄ were synthesized by coprecipitation, sol-gel and impregnation methods. These materials were calcined and treated in H₂ at 1073 K. Thermal analysis (DTA and TG), nitrogen physisorption (BET method), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used as characterization techniques. H₂ treatment promoted Al_xZn_y crystallization in the coprecipitated and impregnated samples. When tin was added to zinc aluminate, the tin acted as a protective shell against high-temperature reduction, independently of the preparation technique.     

Verfeinerung der Kristallstruktur von Te2O3(SO4)

The crystal structure of ditellurium(IV)-trioxide sulfate, Te₂O₃(SO₄)—space group Pmn2₁–C _2v ⁷ ;a=8.879 (2),b=6.936 (2),c=4.646 (4) Å,Z=2—has been determined and refined by least-squares, using three-dimensionalX-ray data (1188 independent reflexions) to a final R-value of 6.3%.The crystal structure comprises puckered tellurium(IV)—oxygen layers in which the tellurium atoms are linked together by three oxygen bridges (Te–O 1.907, 1.945, 2.011 Å). The SO₄ groups are arranged between these layers. Two oxygen atoms of each SO₄ group are bonded to two adjacent tellurium atoms of one layer [Te–O(S) 2.270 Å] and the tellurium atoms show a (3+1) coordination. A third oxygen atom of the SO₄ group is in weak interaction with two adjacent tellurium atoms of the same layer (Te–O 2.603 Å) whereas the fourth oxygen atom has distances of 2.866 Å to two adjacent tellurium atoms of the next layer and effects a very weak interaction between the

Crystal Structure, Conductivity, and Magnetic Susceptibility of Er₂Te₃ Via a chemical vapour transport reaction with ErCl₃ as transporting agent, single crystals of Er₂Te₃ up to a size of 1.5 mm are available. X-ray structure analysis revealed for the compound the Sc₂S₃-type with the space group Fddd and the lattice parameters a = 1212.7(2) pm, b = 858.1(2) pm and c = 2572.8(4) pm (Z = 16). According to measurements of the fundamental absorption (DRIFT) the compound is a semiconductor with a band gap of 0.77(5) eV. Magnetic susceptibility measurements revealed paramagnetic behaviour in the temperature range 5–300 K with μ_p = 9.07 B.M. and θ_p = –4.3 K.     

Comparison Between Sol-Gel,Coprecipitation and Wet Mixing Synthesis of ZnAl2O4

ZnAl₂O₄ was prepared by hydrolyzing a mixture of aluminum alkoxide with zinc nitrate dissolved in hexylene glycol and calcining at 800°C. The results are compared with those obtained by wet mixing and coprecipitation. The sol-gel method produces solids whose surface areas and pore volumes are 100% larger and with a more homogeneous pore size distribution.

Synthese,Struktur und Phasenumwandlung von Te4[AsF6]2·SO2

Synthesis, Crystal Structure, and Solid State Phase Transition of Te₄[AsF₆]₂·SO₂ The oxidation of tellurium with AsF₅ in liquid SO₂ yields Te₄²⁺[AsF₆^—]₂ which can be crystallized from the solution in form of dark red crystals as the SO₂ solvate. The crystals are very sensitive against air and easily lose SO₂, so handling under SO₂ atmosphere or cooling is required. The crystal structure was determined at ambient temperature, at 153 K, and at 98 K. Above 127 K Te₄[AsF₆]₂·SO₂ crystallizes orthorhombic (Pnma, a = 899.2(1), b = 978.79(6), c = 1871.61(1) pm, V = 1647.13(2)·10⁶pm³ at 297 K, Z = 4). The structure consists of square‐planar Te₄²⁺ ions (Te‐Te 266 pm), octahedral [AsF₆]^— ions and of SO₂ molecules which coordinate the Te₄ rings with their O atoms in bridging positions over the edges of the square. At room temperature one of the two crystallographically independent [AsF₆]^— ions shows rotational disorder which on cooling to 153 K is not completely resolved. At 127 K Te₄[AsF₆]₂·SO₂ undergoes a solid state phase transition into a monoclinic structure (P112₁/a, a = 866.17(8), b = 983.93(5), c = 1869.10(6) pm, γ = 96.36(2)°, V = 1554, 2(2)·10⁶ pm³ at 98 K, Z = 4). All [AsF₆]^— ions are ordered in the low temperature form. Despite a direct supergroup‐subgroup relationship exists between the space groups, the phase transition is of first order with discontinuous changes in the lattice parameters. The phase transition is accompanied by crystal twinning. The main difference between the two structures lies in the different coordination of the Te₄²⁺ ion by O and F atoms of neighbored SO₂ and [AsF₆]^— molecules.

Reactivity of η-, γ-, and α-Al2O3 for ZnAl2O4 Formation

The rate of ZnAl₂O₄ formation was measured for η-, γ-; and α- Al₂O₃ in order to distinguish the reactivity of them. The reactivity decreased as follows: η- > γ- > α-Al₂O₃. The reaction rate fitted to Jander's equation and the activation energies calculated were 33, 47 and 113 Kcal/mol for η-, γ- and α-Al₂O₃ systems, respectively. These differences are explained by an assumption that η- and γ-Al₂O₃ resulted in a ZnAl₂O₄ with imperfect spinel structure, but α-Al₂O₃ gave the perfect spinel structure. This assumption is based on the theoretical consideration of the activation energy needed for the diffusion-controlled reaction and date of lattice constant of each ZnAl₂O₄ obtained from three aluminas. The fact that η-Al₂O₃ shows very high reactivity compared with that of γ-Al₂O₃ was found to be explained on the basis of Jander's equation, a comparison of specific surface area and the defect structures of the aluminas.

Synthese,Kristallstruktur und thermische Entwässerung von CsMnF4 · 2H2O

Synthesis, crystal structure and thermal dehydration of CsMnF₄ · 2H₂O The preparation of a new fluoromanganate (III)-complex CsMnF₄ · 2H₂O is reported. It crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2 with a = 11.891(2) Å, b = 6.589(1) Å, c = 10.558(1) Å, β = 131.46(1)° and Z = 4. The crystal structure has been solved from diffractometer data by heavy-atom methods and refined to a conventional R-value of 1.8% (including the contributions of three hydrogen atoms in measured and one in calculated positions). The structure is characterized by isolated, tetragonally distorted [MnF₄(OH₂)₂]-octahedra with Mn-F-distances from 1.801(8) Å to 1.870(7) Å and Mn-O-distances of 2.146(6) Å and 2.268(6) Å. Cesium exhibits an irregular 10-coordination by 8 F-atoms and 2 O-atoms (mean values for the two independent cesium ions: Cs-F = 3.17 Å and 3.21 Å, Cs-O = 3.32 Å and 3.29 Å). The [MnF₄(OH₂)₂]-octahedra are connected to six neighbouring octahedra by hydrogen bonding. The dehydration of the complex has been studied by thermoanalytical methods and power x-ray-diffractometry. The unit cell of the dehydrated compound, CsMnF₄, is tetragonal with a = 7.936(1) Å and c = 6.341(1) Å. A close relationship to the structure of CsFeF₄, which is a superstructure variant of the T1A1F₄-type[6], is indicated by the similarity of the corresponding unit cells and preliminary structure factor calculations. A proposition for the crystal structure of CsMnF₄ is developed on the basis of (2 + 2 + 2)-orthorhombic distorted MnF₆-octahedra.
