Metal-rich phases in the ternary system Ni-Se-Te

The metal-rich phases in the system Ni-Se-Te have been studied by X-ray diffraction at room temperature and elevated temperatures, and byDTA. At room temperature phases with the following structures were found in the pseudo-binary section Ni₃(Se_1-x , Te _x )₂: rhombohedral Ni₃S₂ type forx=0; tetragonal (Ni,Fe)₁₁Se₈ type for 0,15x0,35; tetragonal rickardite type for 0,50x0,80; superstructures of the rickardite type for 0,95x1. At higher temperatures the homogeneity range of the phase with the tetragonal rickardite structure broadens. Above 600–770°C a face-centered cubic phase exists in the whole range 0x1; a model for the structure of this phase is proposed. The compound Ni_2,6Te₂ is orthorhombic at room temperature; it becomes hexagonal at 720°C and disproportionates at 820°C; by partial substitution of Te by Se the hexagonal form is stabilized at room temperature. Similarly, the compound Ni₆Se₅ which is stable above 440°C only, is stabilized at room temperature by partial substitution of Se by Te. The phase Ni₆(Se_1-x , Te _x )₅ decomposes by a peritectoid reaction at 650° (x=0) to 590°C (x=0,3).

Synthesis and X-ray crystal structures of bis(3-hydroxy-4-methyl-2(3H)-thiazolethiolato-S 2,O)bis(dimethylsulfoxide-O)M,M = cobalt(II) and nickel(II)

Crystallisation of the divalent nickel and cobalt complexes of 3-hydroxy-4-methyl-2(3H)-thiazolethione (HMTT) from DMSO yields isostructural chelate complexes M(MTT)₂(dmso)₂, M = Co^II/Ni^II. The metal atom adopts distorted octahedral coordination via two bidentate MTT ligands arranged in a trans-conformation and two DMSO molecules coordinated through oxygen. Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) and energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis show that the materials form a continuous solid solution Co _x Ni_1–x (MTT)₂(dmso)₂ over the entire composition range 0 x 1.     

New Ion Conductor of (Ba1−xLax)2In2O5+x

The structural characterization, thermogravimetric analysis and electrical properties for solid solution system, (Ba_1–xLa_x)₂In₂O_5+x with perovskite-type structure were investigated. X-ray diffraction showed that the orthorhombic phase was in the range of 0.0<x0.3, the tetragonal phase 0.3<x0.5, and the cubic phase 0.5<x. The sharp transition of electrical conductivity shifted to a lower temperature with increasing x and disappeared at the phase boundary between the orthorhombic and tetragonal phases. This perovskite-related oxide exhibited a pure oxide-ion conduction over the oxygen partial pressure range of 1 atm to 10^–3.5 atm, and the electrical conductivity reached the value of 1.610^–1 (S cm^–1) at 1073 K, which was nearly equal to that of the yttria stabilized zirconia. These properties were successfully explained in terms of disordered oxygen ions.This revised version was published online in November 2005 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

High-pressure synthesis of solid solutions between trigonal LiNiO2 and monoclinic Li[Li1/3Ni2/3]O2

High-pressure synthesis in an oxygen-rich atmosphere yields solid solutions between LiNiO₂ and Li₂NiO₃ over the whole concentration range. Structural characterization of the high-pressure oxides was performed using powder XRD, SEM analysis, IR spectroscopy, EPR spectroscopy at 9.23 and 115 GHz and magnetic susceptibility measurements. The crystal structure of Li[Li_xNi_1−x]O₂ ,, changes from trigonal R-3m to monoclinic C2/m at Li-to-Ni ratio of 2 (or ). The incorporation of Li into NiO₂-layers causes a decrease in the mean Li-O and Ni_1-xLi_x-O bond distance. Li and Ni ions in the mixed Ni_1-xLi_xO₂-layers display a tendency to order at a short length scale in such a way that mimics the Li_1/3Ni_2/3-arrangment of the end Li[Li_1/3Ni_2/3]O₂ composition. The charge distribution in these oxides proceeds via Ni³⁺ and Ni⁴⁺ ions.     

Structural Aspect of a Thermal Activation Effect in the MnO x /γ-Al2O3 System

Solid-phase reactions in the aluminum–manganese oxide system, including the structural mechanism of the thermal activation of catalysts, were studied at temperatures up to 1100°C. It was found that the solid-phase reaction at 900–1000°C occurred via two pathways because of the diffusion of manganese ions to aluminum oxide and aluminum ions to manganese oxide. Nanoheterogeneous state of the active component, which was observed in the range 25–600°C, is the product of incomplete decomposition of the high-temperature aluminum–manganese phase Mn_{2.1 – x} Al_{0.9 + x} O₄ (0 x 0.6) with a cubic spinel structure; this phase was equilibrium at the synthesis temperature but metastable below 650°C.

Influence of magnetic dilution on the spin transition in the complex of iron(II) nitrate with 4-amino-1,2,4-triazole

Influence of magnetic dilution with Zn^II ions on the spin transition in the iron nitrate complex of 4-amino-1,2,4-triazole (AT) was studied by magnetochemistry, Mössbauer spectroscopy, and IR spectroscopy. In studies of the properties of solid phases of Fe _x Zn _1–x (AT)₃(NO₃)₂ (0.01x0.8), it was demonstrated that magnetic dilution results in a lowered spin transition temperature and an increased share of the high-spin form of the iron(II) complex.Institute of Inorganic Chemistry, Siberian Branch, Russian Academy of Sciences.

Phase Equilibria and Crystal Structure of Complex Oxides in the La–Sr–Co–Ni– System

Phase equilibria in the La–Sr–Co–Ni–O system were studied in air at 1100°. The samples for the study were synthesized by the standard ceramic and citrate processes. The limiting solubility and structure of La_1-xSr_xCo_1-yNi_yO_3- and (La_1-xSr_x)₂Co_1-yNi_yO₄ solid solutions were determined by Xray powder diffraction analysis. La_1-xSr_xCo_1-yNi_yO₃- solid solutions with 0 x 0.5 have a distorted rhombohedral perovskitelike structure (R c space group). An increase in the strontium concentration reduces the rhombohedral distortions, and the compounds with x < 0.5 have an ideal cubic structure (Pm3m space group). (La_1-xSr_x)₂Co_1-yNi_yO₄ crystals have a tetragonal K₂NiF₄ type unit cell (I4/mmm space group). The relationships between unit cell parameters and compositions were obtained for singlephase La_1-xSr_xCo_1-yNi_yO_3- and (La_1-xSr_x)₂Co_1-yNi_yO₄ samples. The existence regions of La_1-xSr_xCo_1-yNi_yO₃- and La_1-xSr_x)₂Co_1-yNi_yO₄ solid solutions were distinguished on P–T phase diagrams.     

Synthesis of Gray Ceramic Pigments with Rutile Structure from Alkoxides

In this study, V _x Ti_{1 – x} O₂ (0 x 0.20) rutile solid solutions have been synthesized from gels built from hydrolysis-condensation of V(IV) oxyacetilacetonate and Ti(IV) isopropoxide mixture (polymeric gel). These solid solutions are stable at high temperature (1200–1400°C) and into glazes. The colouration of the glazes together with the thermal stability of these rutile solid solutions indicates their potential usefulness as gray ceramic pigments. The results obtained are compared with those obtained from V₂O₅ and TiO₂ (anatase) mixtures (ceramic method). From alkoxides, noticeable change in coloration is obtained on glazes, when x < 0.10.

Electroconductivity of Potassium Orthophosphate Modified by Four-Charged Cations

Solid solutions based on K₃PO₄ in systems K_{3 – 4x} E" _x PO₄ (E" = Si, Ti, Ge, Zr, Sn, Hf, Ce) are synthesized. The crystal structure, thermal behavior, and electroconduction of the synthesized solutions is studied. The narrowest single-phase regions take place in the systems where E" = Si, Ge (x 0.025), and the widest, in the system with Zr (x 0.125, at 700°C). Introducing Ti or Sn additives (x 0.05) and minimum quantities of Zr, Hf, or Ce (x = 0.025) into potassium orthophosphate leads to stabilization of highly-conductive -modification of K₃PO₄ at room temperature. Maximum values of potassium-cation conduction in all the systems studied correspond to regions of single-phase solid solutions based on K₃PO₄. The maximum electroconductivity (0.005 S cm^–1 at 300°C, 0.1 S cm^–1 at 700°C) and the smallest activation energies (32–35 kJ mol^–1) take place in the systems with Zr and Hf.     

Dry etching characteristics of III–V semiconductors in microwave BCl3 discharges

Electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) BCl₃ discharges with additional rf biasing of the sample position have been used to etch a variety of III–V semiconductors. GaAs and Al_xGa_1–xAs (x = 0–1) etch at equal rates in BCl₃ or BCl₃/Ar discharges, whereas SF₆ addition produces high selectivities for etching GaAs over AlGaAs. These selectivities are in excess of 600 for dc biases of –150 V, and fall to 6 for biases of –300 V. If the dc biases are kept to – 100 V, there is no measurable degradation of the optical properties of the GaAs and AlGaAs. The AlF₃ formed on the AlGaAs surface during exposure to BCl₃/SF₆ plasmas can be removed by sequential rinsing in dilute NH₄OH and water. In-based materials (InP, InAs, InSb, InGaAs) etch at slow rates with relatively rough morphologies in BCl₃ plasmas.

Polymerization Reactions in an Al(OBus)3-(COOH)2 System

Reactions in an Al(OBu^s)₃-(COOH)₂ (OA)-tetrahydrofuran (THF)/(CD₃)₂SO (DMSO-d₆) system (Al(OBu^s)₃: THF : DMSO-d₆: OA = 1 : 5 : 5 : x, x = 0.01 –3) were studied, without the addition of water and the process was monitored by NMR. When x 0.3, homogeneous solutions were obtained, whereas white precipitates formed with x 0.7. The formation of sec-butyl alcohol was evident with x 0.6, indicating that oxalate groups coordinate to aluminum to release sec-butyl alcohol. ¹³C NMR spectra of the solutions after 1 day suggest the presence of polymeric species if 0.03 x 0.6. The addition of a small amount of water resulted in the formation of a white precipitate (Al(OBu^s)₃: THF : DMSO-d₆ : OA : H₂O = 1 : 5 : 5 : 0.3 : y,y = 0.03–0.3), indicating that water, possibly formed by esterification in the Al(OBu^s)₃-OA-THF/DMSO-d₆ system, does not take a major role in the present system.     

Chain photohalogenation of ethylene at liquid helium temperatures

Photolysis of a halogen in solid 1:1 molecular complexes of ethylene with chlorine (1) and bromine (2) at 18–70 K led to the formation oftrans-1,2-dihaloethanes by a chain mechanism (with quantum yields of 25–30 for 1 and 10–12 for 2 atT45 K) but molecular addition occurred above 90 K to give thegauche isomer. The rate constant for chain growth is independent of temperature atT45 K, but is described by the Arrhenius equation atT50 K (E ₀ 1 kcal/mole). It is proposed that chain growth occurs by a tunneling reaction of the C₂H₄Hal radical with an Hal₂ molecule at a neighboring lattice site.Institute of Chemical Physics, Russian Academy of Sciences, 142432 Chernogolovka.

Mechanism of the oxidation of L-ascorbic acid by the bis(pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylate)cobaltate(III) ion in aqueous solution

A detailed investigation of the oxidation of L-ascorbic acid (H₂A) by the title complex has been carried out using conventional spectrophotometry at 510 nm, over the ranges: 0.010 [ascorbate] _T 0.045 mol dm^–3, 3.62 pH 5.34, and 12.0 30.0 °C, 0.50 I 1.00 mol dm^–3, and at ionic strength 0.60 mol dm^–3 (NaClO₄). The main reaction products are the bis(pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylate)cobaltate(II) ion and l-dehydroascorbic acid. The reaction rate is dependent on pH and the total ascorbate concentration in a complex manner, i.e., k _obs = (k ₁ K ₁)[ascorbate] _T /(K ₁ + [H⁺]). The second order rate constant, k ₁ [rate constant for the reaction of the cobalt(III) complex and HA^–] at 25.0 °C is 2.31 ± 0.13 mol^–1 dm³ s^–1. H = 30 ± 4 kJ mol^–1 and S = –138 ± 13 J mol^–1 K^–1. K ₁, the dissociation constant for H₂A, was determined as 1.58 × 10^–4 mol dm^–3 at an ionic strength of 0.60 mol dm^–3, while the self exchange rate constant, k ₁₁ for the title complex, was determined as 1.28 × 10^–5 dm³ mol^–1 s^–1. An outer-sphere electron transfer mechanism has been proposed.

On the size variation of the primary solvation sphere of Nd3+ and Tm3+ in mixed system of methanol and water

The stability constants, ₁, of each monochloride complex of Nd(III) and Tm(III) have been determined in the mixed system of methanol and water with 1.0 mol·dm^–1 ionic strength using a solvent extraction technique. The values of ₁ of Nd(III) and Tm(III) increase as the mole fraction of methanol in the mixed solvent system (X _s) increases. However, the variation mode of ₁ againstX _s in the region of 0.00X _s0.40 differs from each other, a concave curve for the Nd(III) and a convex curve for the Tm(III). The LnCl²⁺ formed is present as a solvent-shared ion-pair. Since Cl^– is a structure breaking ion, it was assumed that the primary solvation sphere of Ln³⁺ directly contacted with Cl^–. Calculation of Ln³⁺–Cl^– distance using Bom-type equation revealed the followings: (1) for Tm³⁺ with coordination number 8, the estimated distance between Tm³⁺ and Cl^– increases linearly withX _s in 0.00X _s0.40. The results mean an increase of the primary solvation sphere size of Tm³⁺ withX _s. (2) For Nd³⁺, the distance between Nd³⁺ and Cl^– decreases linearly withX _s in 0.00X _s<0.13, where both coordination numbers of 9 and 8 coexist, while it increases withX _s in 0.13<X _s0.40. The results mean a decrease of the primary solvation-sphere size of Nd³⁺ withX _s in 0.00X _s<0.13 and an increase of that withX _s in 0.13<X _s0.40.     

1A1⇔5T2 Spin Transition in Heterometallic Solid Phases FexNi1-x(Htrz)3(NO3)2 · H2O (Htrz = 1,2,4‐Triazole)

Solid phases Fe_xNi_1-x(Htrz)₃(NO₃)₂ · H₂O (0.4 x 0.8$) and Ni(Htrz)₃(NO₃)₂ · H₂O were synthesized and studied. The phases were studied by means of magnetochemistry, powder Xray difraction analysis, and electronic and IR spectroscopy. The heterometallic phases are described by the stoichiographic method of differentiating dissolution (DD). The values of x were determined by two methods — atomic absorption and DD. Magnetochemical data showed that the solid phases exhibit a hightemperature ¹A₁ ⁵T₂ 0.5 x 0.8 and disappears at x = 0.4. The spin transition is accompanied by thermochromism (color changed from pink to white at 0.6 x 1 and from pink to light lilac at x = 0.5). A decrease in x leads to a decrease in the temperature of the forward (under heating T_c ) and reverse (under cooling T_c ) transitions, a decrease in hysteresis value ( T_c), and a smearing of the spin transition.
