Investigations of the thermal stability and phase transformations in the system marocco phosphorite—(NH4)3H(SO4)2.NH4HSO4

Different physical chemical methods were used to study the thermochemical processes in a system involving a natural phosphate and complex acid salts of ammonium sulphate. The products of decomposition of the double ammonium salt and the products of their interactions with the phosphate were identified. The formation of ammonium and calcium polyphosphates and the disproportionation of P₃O ₁₀ ^5? and P₂O ₇ ^4? to PO ₄ ^3? and PO ₃ ^? were found to depend on the circumstances of the thermal interactions.     

Synthesis and Structure of [Pd(NH3)4][cis-Pd(NH3)2(SO3)2][Pd(NH3)3(SO3)] · H2O

A new palladium compound [Pd(NH₃)₄][cis-Pd(NH₃)₂(SO₃)₂][Pd(NH₃)₃(SO₃)] · H₂O (I) was synthesized and its structure was studied by X-ray powder diffraction method. In the course of the synthesis, the initial trans-diamminesulfite anionic complex is transformed into the cis-configuration. Further heating in aqueous solution results in isomerization of a substance into a neutral complex [Pd(NH₃)₃(SO₃)]. Crystals I are triclinic: a = 10.3297(2) Å, b = 14.1062(3) Å, c = 6.8531(1) Å, = 101.36(0)°, = 92.74(0)°, = 92.71(0)°, space group P1¯. Structure I consists of the columns with alternating cis-[Pd(NH₃)₂(SO₃)₂]^2– and [Pd(NH₃)₃(SO₃)] complexes and [Pd(NH₃)₄]²⁺ ions between the columns.     

Phase Equilibria in the System NH4Al(SO4)2–H2SO4–H2O

Equilibrium solubility curves of the ammonium aluminium sulphate in aqueous solutions of sulphuric acid have been calculated using checked literature data and our own measurements. The concentration of sulphuric acid ranged from 0 to 23 mass%, temperature range between 20 and 60°C has been extrapolated up to 75°C by means of a thermodynamically based correlation method. The solubility correlation as well as the hydration analysis implied a possible destructuralization of solutions at higher acid concentrations. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Thermodynamic properties and phase transitions of Tutton salt (NH4)2Co(SO4)2·6H2O crystals

The thermodynamic properties and phase transitions of Tutton salt (NH₄)₂Co(SO₄)₂·6H₂O single crystals were investigated with TG, DSC, and NMR. The first mass loss occurs in the vicinity of 360?K (T _d), which is interpreted as the onset of partial thermal decomposition. Phase transitions were found at 384?K?=?T _C1, 415?K?=?T _C2, and 443?K?=?T _C3. The temperature dependence of the spin?Clattice relaxation time, T ₁, for the H nuclei undergoes slight changes near T _C1 and T _C2. These changes are associated with changes in the geometry of the arrangement of water and five SO₄ oxygens and with proton hopping or the breaking of hydrogen bonds.     

Vibrational spectra of NH4-Ln(SO4)2·4H2O/D2O (LnLa and Ce)

Infrared and Raman spectra of NH₄Ce(SO₄)₂·4H₂O, NH₄La(SO₄)₂·4H₂O and the deuterated compounds NH₄Ce(SO₄)₂·4D₂O and NH₄La(SO₄)₂·4D₂O have been analysed. Splittings indicating the presence of two types of SO₄ ions are not observed. The SO bond strengths of the different SO₄ units are not significantly different. The SO₄ ion is distorted in these compounds. Deuteration causes changes in the SO₄ bond strength. Three crystallographically distinct water molecules exist in the unit cell.     

Thermodynamic properties and molecular dynamics of (NH4)2Zn(SO4)2·6H2O studied by single-crystal NMR and MAS NMR

The thermodynamic properties and molecular dynamics of (NH₄)₂Zn(SO₄)₂·6H₂O were investigated using thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, and nuclear magnetic resonance observations. The first mass loss occurs near 350 K (= T _d) and is interpreted as the onset of partial thermal decomposition. The temperature dependences of the spin–lattice relaxation time in laboratory frame T ₁ and in rotating frame T _1ρ for H nuclei were studied near T _d and T _C1. The increase in T ₁ near T _d seems to be related to the ammonium protons, and the abrupt decrease in T _1ρ near T _d can be explained due to the loss of H₂O.

Crystal growth, structural, thermal, and dielectric characterization of Tutton salt (NH4)2Fe(SO4)2·6H2O crystals

A good quality single crystal of Tutton salt, (NH₄)₂Fe(SO₄)₂·6H₂O, with dimensions 6 × 7 × 3 mm³ was successfully grown by the slow evaporation growth technique at ambient temperature. The grown crystal was subjected to single crystal X-ray diffraction study which confirms that the grown crystal is monoclinic in nature with the space group P2₁/c. Optical absorption spectrum reveals that the grown crystal has good optical transparency in the entire visible region and its energy band gap was determined. The thermal behavior of the grown crystal was investigated by thermogravimetric and differential thermal analysis. The dielectric measurements were carried out to determine the dielectric behavior of the crystal.     

ESR characterisation of SO−3 and SO−4 radicals in X-irradiated kainite (KMgClSO4.3H2O)

The ESR spectra of the kainite (KMgClSO₄.3H₂O) crystal revealed an intense isotropic (g = 2.004) peak C attributed to the SO⁻₃ radical and two pairs of lines (A₁, A₂) and (B₁, B₂) bearing intensity ratio 5:3. The intensity and linewidth variation of peak C suggested that the signal contains an unresolved shf structure. The power saturation studies on SO⁻₃ indicate that its ESR line is homogeneously broadened and its line shape is Lorentzian. The spin—lattice and spin—spin relaxation times (T₁ and T₂) of SO⁻₃ have been estimated to be 0.44 s and 656 μs, respectively. The analysis of the anisotropic pairs of lines show that they constitute two sets A and B and are due to two chemically inequivalent SO⁻₄ radical species in the lattice. The ESR spectra of the polycrystalline samples recorded at 300 and 77 K confirm the isotropic behaviour of SO⁻₃ and chemical inequivalence of two types of SO⁻₄ radicals. The principal g-values of the SO⁻₄ radical were evaluated to be: g₁ = 2.007, g₂ = 2.011, g₃ = 2.014 for species A and g₁ = 2.008, g₂ = 2.012, g₃ = 2.015 for species B. The low microsymmetry of the SO²⁻₄ ion in the lattice seems to promote the radiation damage.     

Synthesis,crystal structure of Gd(H2O)(C2O4)2 · NH4 and of La(C2O4)2 · NH4. Characterization of the Ln(H2O)(C2O4)2 · NH4 with Ln=Eu…Yb

Single crystals of two lanthanide complexes, presenting similar formula Ln(H₂O)_x(C₂O₄)₂ · NH₄ with Ln=La, x=0 and Ln=Gd, x=1, have been prepared, in closed system at 200 °C. The gadolinium complex is bi-dimensional. A layer is built by the packing of the basic unit, [Gd(C₂O₄)]₄. The gadolinium atoms are related only by bischelating oxalate ligands, the ammonium ion and the water molecule (bound to the gadolinium atom) are localized into the interlayer space. The lanthanum complex is tri-dimensional. The basic building unit remains approximately the same and the packing of these units form a layer. However, within these units, the lanthanum atoms are related by either an oxalate ligand or an edge. Moreover, an oxalate ligand assumes the connection between the layers. The ammonium ion is localized into two sets of intersecting channels. Pure phase of the gadolinium complex has been prepared at 100 °C and extended to some lanthanide elements, Eu…Yb. As the size of the lanthanide ionic radius is decreasing, it is noticeable that the a unit–cell constant follows an expansion pattern while the others two follow an usual contraction one. The thermal behavior of this family shows that the anhydrous compounds are obtained and that some water molecule is sorbed during the cooling. Thus, the anhydrous compounds present a relatively open-framework with some small micropores.     

Syntheses and structural determination of binuclear nine-coordinate (NH4)4[SmIII2(Httha)2]·16H2O and 2-D ladder-like binuclear nine-coordinate (NH4)4[SmIII2(dtpa)2]·10H2O

Two rare-earth metal coordination compounds, (NH₄)₄[Sm^III₂(Httha)₂]·16H₂O (1) (H₆ttha?=?triethylenetetramine-N,N,N′,N′′,N′′′,N′′′-hexaacetic acid) and (NH₄)₄[Sm^III₂(dtpa)₂]·10H₂O (2) (H₅dtpa?=?diethylenetriamine-N,N,N′,N′′,N′′-pentaacetic acid), have been synthesized through reflux and characterized by FT-IR spectroscopy, thermal analysis, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction techniques. Sm^III of (NH₄)₄[Sm^III₂(Httha)₂]·16H₂O (1) is nine-coordinate, forming tricapped trigonal prismatic coordination with three amine nitrogens and six oxygens, in which four oxygens are from one ttha and two from the other ttha. (NH₄)₄[Sm^III₂(Httha)₂]·16H₂O (1) crystallizes in the monoclinic crystal system with P2(1)/c space group. The crystal data are: a?=?13.9340(13) Å, b?=?22.890(3) Å, c?=?20.708(2) (14) Å, β?=?99.521(2)°, and V?=?6513.7(13) ų. There are two –NH⁺– groups in the [Sm^III₂(Httha)₂]^4?. The polymeric (NH₄)₄[Sm^III₂(dtpa)₂]·10H₂O (2) also is nine-coordinate with tricapped trigonal prismatic conformation and crystallizes in the triclinic crystal system with P–1 space group. The cell dimensions are: a?=?9.8240(8) Å, b?=?10.0329(9) Å, c?=?13.0941(11) Å, β?=?77.1640(10)°, and V?=?1227.30(18) ų. In (NH₄)₄[Sm^III₂(dtpa)₂]·10H₂O, there are two types of ammonium cations, which connect [Sm^III₂(dtpa)₂]^4? and lattice water through hydrogen bonds, leading to a 2-D ladder-like layer structure.     

Study on PEG-（NH4）2SO4 Aqueous Two-Phase System and Distribution Behavior of Drugs

The distribution behavior of chlorpromazine hydrochloride (CPZ), procaine hydrochloride (PCN) and procaine amide hydrochloride (PCNA) in polyethylene glycol (PEG800 or PEG1500)-(NH4)2SO4 aqueous two-phase systems has been investigated. The result shows that the PEG-(NH4)2SO4 aqueous two-phase system has potential extraction capability in small molecular drug separation. In PEG800-(NH4)2SO4 system, the extraction efficiencies (E) of CPZ, PCN and PCNA amount to 92.8%, 74.5% and 74.4%, respectively, with the distribution coefficients (KD) being 25.7, 5.9 and 5.8, correspondingly. In PEG1500-(NH4)2SO4 system, the extraction efficiencies (E) of CPZ,PCN and PCNA are 93.7%, 71.3% and 63.2%, respectively, with distribution coefficients (KD) of 39.6, 6.6 and 5.0,correspondingly. Based on the study on ultraviolet and fluorescence spectra and also distribution behavior of the drugs in PEG-(NH4)2SO4 aqueous two-phase system, extraction mechanism was further proposed that both hydrogen bond and hydrophobic interaction are involved in extraction.

The acidic proton is statistically disordered around the crystallographic symmetry centre while all of the NH⁺₄ ions show an important dynamical orientational disorder.     

Structure of ammonium decachloro-μ-oxodiosmate(IV) (NH4)4[Os2OCl10] and its behavior in solutions

The structure of (NH₄)₄[OS₂OCl₁₀] has been determined by X-ray diffraction. The crystals are tetragonal, space group I4/mmm, a = 7.292(1) Å, c = 17.157(3) Å, Z = 2. The binuclear anion has D _4h symmetry; the osmium atom is coordinated to five chlorine atoms and the oxygen atom. The Os-O distances are 1.8242(5) Å; Os-Cl_eqv, 2.3743(18) Å; Os-Cl_ax, 2.335(3) Å; the Cl₁OsCl₂ angle is 86.84(4)°. The anion has been established spectrophotometrically to remain structurally unchanged in freshly prepared aqueous and hydrochloric acid solutions. Slow aquation with retention of a binuclear structure occurs with time in 1 and 6 M HCl. At 75 or 90°C, the process is faster with the disrupture of the Os-O-Os bond and the formation [OsCl₆]^2? ions in 6 M HCl and a mixture of [OsCl₆]^2? and [Os(H₂O)Cl₅]^? ions in 1 M HCl.     

Cold collisions of N (4S) atoms and NH (3Σ) molecules in magnetic fields

We calculate the interaction potential between N atoms and NH molecules and use it to investigate cold and ultracold collisions important for sympathetic cooling. The ratio of elastic to inelastic cross sections is large over a wide range of collision energy and magnetic field for most isotopic combinations, so that sympathetic cooling of NH molecules by N atoms is a good prospect. However, there are important effects due to a p-wave shape resonance that may inhibit cooling in some cases. We show that scaling the reduced mass used in the collision is approximately equivalent to scaling the interaction potential. We then explore the dependence of the scattering properties on the reduced mass and explain the resonant effects observed using angular-momentum-insensitive quantum defect theory.
