A new tungsten trioxide hydrate, WO3 · 13H2O: Preparation,characterization, and crystallographic study

A new hydrate of tungsten trioxide, $\text{WO}{}_3\text{·}\text{1}\text{3}\text{H}{}_2\text{O}$ has been obtained by hydrothermal treatment at 120°C of an aqueous suspension of either tungstic acid gel or crystallized dihydrate. This hydrate has been characterized by different methods. A crystallographic study was carried out from X-ray powder diffraction. The hydrate crystallizes in the orthorhombic system: a = 7.359(3) Å, b = 12.513(6) Å, c = 7.704(5) Å, Z = 12. The existence of structural relationships between the hydrate, $\text{WO}{}_3\text{·}\text{1}\text{3}\text{H}{}_2\text{O}$, and the product of dehydration, hexagonal WO₃, has permitted us to propose a structural model in agreement with the experimental data. $\text{WO}{}_3\text{·}\text{1}\text{3}\text{H}{}_2\text{O}$ must be regarded as an interesting compound because its dehydration leads to a new anhydrous tungsten trioxide, hexagonal WO₃.     

KxP2W2O16: A bronze with a tunnel structure built up from PO4 tetrahedra and WO6 octahedra

The structure of a $\text{K}{}_{\mathrm{x}}\text{P}{}_2\text{W}{}_4\text{O}{}_{16}\text{(x ? 0.4)}$ crystal was established by X-ray analysis. The solution in the cell of symmetry $\text{P2}{}_1\text{m}$, with a = 6.6702(5), b = 5.3228(8), c = 8.9091(8) Å, β = 100.546(7)°, Z = 1, has led to R = 0.033 and R_w = 0.036 for 2155 reflections with $\text{σ(I)}\text{I}\text{≤ 0.333}$. This structure can be described as two octahedra-wide ReO₃-type slabs connected through “planes” of PO₄ tetrahedra. A new structural family K_xP₂W_2nO_6n+4 can be foreseen which is closely related to the orthorhombic P₄W₈O₃₂ and the monoclinic Rb_xP₈W_8nO_24n+16 series.     

Thermodynamic properties of two metal-rich tantalum sulfides: Ta2S and Ta6S

The incongruent vaporization reactions of Ta₂S and Ta₆S have been investigated by mass-loss effusion in the temperature range 1576 to 1902 K. By extrapolation of P_S(obs) to equilibrium the enthalpies of the reactions $\text{3}\text{2}\text{Ta}{}_2\text{S(s)}\text{=}\text{1}\text{2}\text{Ta}{}_6\text{S(s) + S(g)}$ and Ta₆S = 6 Ta(s) + S(g) were found to be $\text{ΔH}{}^0{}_{298}\text{R}\text{= 53.0(0.3) · 10}{}^3\text{K}$ and $\text{ΔH}{}^0{}_{298}\text{R}\text{= 58.1(0.4) · 10}{}^3\text{K}$, respectively. Comparison between the above values, determined by a 2nd law treatment, and 3rd law values was used to derive fef (“free energy function”) values for Ta and S in the compounds. These postulated fef's, which apply only to the elements as present in the compounds measured, are compared to tabulated quantities for the pure solid elements to provide a criterion for 2nd and 3rd law evaluation.     

Unusual route to and rearrangement of four-membered ring complexes C5H5Fe (CO) [ (C6H5)2PN(R)CH (C6H5) ]

The amine substituted phosphines (C₆H₅)₂PN(H)CH₂CH₃ and (C₆H₅)₂PN(H)CH₂C₆H₅ react with C₅H₅Fe(CO)₂CH(C₆H₅) (OCH₃) photolytically to give moderate yields of the four-membered chelate ring complexes C₅H₅$\text{Fe (CO) [(C}{}_6\text{H}{}_5\text{)}{}_2\text{PN (CH}{}_2\text{CH}{}_3\text{) C}$H (C₆H₅)] and C₅H₅$\text{Fe (CO) [(C}{}_6\text{H}{}_5\text{)}{}_2\text{PN (CH}{}_2\text{C}{}_6\text{H}{}_5\text{)C}$H(C₆H₅)], respectively. Photolysis of C₅H₅Fe(CO)₂CH(C₆H₅) (OCH₃) in the presence of (S)-(?)-diphenyl(1-phenylethylamino)phosphine leads to the isolation of C₅H₅Fe(CO)[(C₆H₅)2PNC(CH₃) (C₆H₅)]CH₂C₆H₅ which is proposed to arise from a formally 1,3-hydrogen shift rearrangement of an intermediate four-membered chelate ring complex.     

Cation ordering in Ca2La8(SiO4)6O2

The distribution of La³⁺ and Ca²⁺ over the cation sites in Ca₂La₈(SiO₄)₆O₂ was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Ca₂La₈(SiO₄)₆O₂ has the apatite structure, and all available evidence indicates that the space group is $\text{P6}{}_3\text{m}$, thus precluding a completely ordered structure. The 6h lattice sites are occupied by La³⁺. In contrast, the 4f sites are occupied equally by La³⁺ and Ca²⁺ ions. Consideration of the properties of the La³⁺ and Ca²⁺ ions suggests that this distribution is thermodynamically favored for this composition. A simple Ising model suggests ordered columns. These would not be precluded by space group $\text{P6}{}_3\text{m}$, if the correlation between adjacent columns were random.     

Crystal structure,Mössbauer,and magnetic behavior of mixed valence compounds in the BaFeS system: Ba3(Ba1−xAlx)Fe2S6[S1−y(S2)y]

The compounds $\text{Ba}{}_4\text{Fe}{}_2\text{S}{}_6\text{[S}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>2</mtext><mtext>3</mtext>}}\text{(}\text{S}{}_2\text{)}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>1</mtext><mtext>3</mtext>}}\text{]}$ and Ba_3.6Al_0.4Fe₂S₆[S_0.6(S₂)_0.4], designated I and II, were prepared by reacting BaS, Fe, and S powders and Al foils in graphite containers sealed in evacuated quartz ampoules at approximately 1100°C. The crystal structure of I was determined using 1682 independent, nonzero X-ray reflections, while 3589 were used for II. They are triclinic, $\text{A}\text{l}$:

$\text{a=9.002(2)}\text{A}\text{?}\text{,b=6.7086(8)}\text{A}\text{?}\text{,c=24.658(4)}\text{A}\text{?}\text{α91.49(2)°,}$

$\text{β=105.10(2)°y=90.74(2)°,ψ}{}_{\mathrm{calc}}\text{=4.15g/cm}{}^3\text{,for I:}$

$\text{a=8.993(6)}\text{A}\text{?}\text{,b=6.708(7)}\text{A}\text{?}\text{,c=24.70(1)}\text{A}\text{?}\text{α91.11(6)°,}$

$\text{β=105.04(6)°y=90.90(9)°,ψ}{}_{\mathrm{calc}}\text{=3.90g/cm}{}^3\text{,for II:}$

BaS₆ trigonal prisms share edges to form distorted hexagonal rings which form one-dimensional chains leaving two free lateral edges. The chains link in a stairstep manner with the rings offset along the [301] direction. These stairsteps join in a complicated manner to form a three-dimensional network. Fe ions are in two sites forming isolated FeS₄ tetrahedra and isolated Fe₂S₆ dimers by edge-sharing tetrahedra. The Al substitution occurs in the trigonal prisms which have free edges with Al replacing Ba. Room-temperature Mössbauer isomer shifts are 0.20 mm/sec. for I and 0.30 mm/sec for II. These data indicate that upon Al substitution charge compensation occurs by reducing Fe³⁺. Valence calculations indicate that Fe in edge-sharing tetrahedra are reduced while the Fe in the isolated tetrahedron remains unchanged. The effective charge distribution in the Al substituted compound is approximately Fe³⁺, Fe^2.5+ with electron delocalization across the shared edge. Room temperature electrical resistivity is 10⁵ ohm/cm. The compositions of the crystals are best represented by the formulas $\text{[}\text{Ba}{}_4\text{Fe}{}_2\text{S}{}_7\text{]}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>2</mtext><mtext>3</mtext>}}\text{·[}\text{Ba}{}_4\text{Fe}{}_2\text{S}{}_6\text{(S}{}_2\text{)]}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>1</mtext><mtext>3</mtext>}}$ and [Ba₃AlFe₂S₇]_0.4·[Ba₄Fe₂S₇]_0.2·[Ba₄Fe₂S₆(S₂)]_0.4. The replacement of a sulfide by a disulfide ion is thought to be strongly dependent on the sulfur activity during the preparation.     

Excess molar enthalpies of {(1 − x2 − x3)Al + x2Bi + x3Ga}(I) alloys

The excess molar enthalpies H_m^E{(1 ? x₂ ? x₃)Al + x₂Bi + x₃Ga}(I) have been measured between 725 and 1170 K along the sections $\text{(1 ? x}{}_2\text{? x}{}_3\text{)}\text{x}{}_3\text{=}\text{1}\text{3}$, 1, and 3, and $\text{x}{}_2\text{x}{}_3\text{=}\text{1}\text{3}$, 1, and 3, with a high-temperature Calvet calorimeter using both the direct- and indirect-drop methods of mixing; experimental uncertainty is quoted respectively at 6.7 per cent and 9.9 per cent. The equilibrium temperatures confirmed phase boundaries previously determined by potentiometry, d.t.a., and calculation. Extrapolation of the experimental excess molar enthalpies to the limiting binary alloys {(1 ? x₂)Al + x₂Bi} allows new values for the excess molar enthalpies of these alloys to be proposed. The excess molar enthalpies of the ternary liquid mixtures can be represented correctly using these new values and Bonnier's equation.     

Phase behavior of Li2WO4 at high pressures and temperatures

The phase diagram of Li₂WO₄, previously studied by Yamaoka et al. (J. Solid State Chem.6, 280 (1973)) has been revised. Li₂WO₄ II is stable at atmospheric pressure below ～310°C. This phase appears to be a modified spinel, and is tetragonal, a, c = 11.941, 8.409Å, Z = 16, space group $\text{I4}{}_1\text{amd}$. The melting curve of phenacite-type Li₂WO₄ I rises with pressure with a slope of 0.9°C/kbar to the III/I/liquid triple point at 3.1 kbar, 743°C, beyond which the melting curve of orthorhombic Li₂WO₄ III rises steeply with pressure (initial slope 31°C/kbar). The Li₂WO₄$\text{I}\text{III}$ transition line at 3 kbar is almost independent of temperature, i.e., the $\text{I}\text{III}$ transition entropy is zero. Li₂WO₄ II is 21.3% denser than Li₂WO₄ I at ambient conditions.     

Growth and optical properties of TlGaSe2 and β-TlInS2

TlGaSe₂ and β-TlInS₂ were studied for crystal growth and optical properties. Both materials have wide transparency regions, from 0.61 to 20 μm for the former and 0.5 to 12.5 μm for the latter. X-ray studies of single crystals show that these compounds are monoclinic, space group $\text{P2}{}_1\text{m}$. Raman spectra are presented.     

Etude cristallochimique des phases de type perovskite du systeme Th0.25 NbO3NaNbO3

The compound Th_0.25 NbO₃ melts congruently at 1390°C. Single crystals obtained by slow cooling from the melt are transparent and show uniaxial optical properties. A single-crystal X-ray analysis confirms the tetragonal cell found by Kovba and Trunov from a powder data and gives a = 3.90 Å and c = 7.85 Å. No systematic absence of the hkl reflections is observed on precession films. The relative intensities of the main reflections are characteristic of a perovskite-like arrangement ABO₃ whose large dodecahedral A sites are only partly occupied. Several domains have been found in the perovskite-type solid solution (1 ? x) Th_0.25NbO₃-x NaNbO₃. For 0 ? x ? 0.5 the phases have a tetragonal cell with $\text{a ? a}{}_0$ and $\text{c ? 2a}{}_0$ as in pure Th_0.25 NbO₃. When 0.6 ? x ? 0.8 the corresponding phases crystallize with a small cubic cell ($\text{a}{}_0\text{? 3.9}$Å), while phases with 0.9 ? x ? 1 have an orthorhombic cell ($\text{a ? 2}{}^{\mathrm{<mtext>1</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}\text{a}{}_0\text{, b ? 2}{}^{\mathrm{<mtext>1</mtext><mtext>2</mtext>}}\text{a}{}_0\text{, c ? a}{}_0$).     

An outline of the stucture of 7Bi2O3 · 2WO3 and its solid solutions

This paper gives an outline of the structure of a solid solution based on 7Bi₂O₃ · 2WO₃. The experimental results using X-ray diffraction methods (precession and powder) showed that 7Bi₂O₃ · 2WO₃ crystallizes in the space group $\text{I4}{}_1\text{a}$ with a = 12.5143(5)Å and c = 11.2248(6) Å. The number of formula weights per unit cell is 40, when the formula is considered to be of the oxygen-deficient fluorite-type Bi_0.875W_0.125O_1.6875. The compound has a substructure based on a defect fluorite-type pseudocubic subcell with $\text{a′ ? 5.6}$ Å. The axial relations between the supercell and subcell are $\text{a ? √a′}$ and $\text{c ? 2a′}$. The solid solution was formed over a limited range of WO₃ content between 21.3 mole% and 26.3 mole% at 700°C. The ordering of metal atoms is discussed and an ideal crystal structure is proposed.     

Heat capacity and thermodynamic functions of CsCrCl3 and RbCrCl3. Structural phase transitions

We present the heat capacities measured by adiabatic calorimetry from 6 to 350 K, and by differential scanning calorimetry from 300 to 500 K, of CsCrCl₃ and RbCrCl₃. A first-order transition at T_c = (171.1±0.1) K was detected for CsCrCl₃. The RbCrCl₃ showed at T_c = (193.3±0.1) K a transition with thermal hysteresis at temperatures just below the maximum. At T₁ = (440±10) K a continuous transition was also detected. Furthermore, at T_N ≈ 16 K, and for both compounds, a small bump due to magnetic long-range ordering was observed. The thermodynamic functions at 298.15 K are

The complexes of type $\text{M}\text{o}\text{-C}{}_6\text{H}{}_4\text{CH}{}_2\text{P}$R₂)₂ (M = Pd, Pt) are readily deprotonated by n-Buli under various conditions yielding μ-C-bis-dilithiated species. The resulting carbanions are attacked by the electrophiles Mel, Me₃SiCl and Ph₂PCl to form the corresponding disubstituted derivatives. The reaction with AuCl . PPh₃ yields heterobimetallic complexes with two different MC σ-bonds. The compounds obtained are analytically and spectroscopically characterized.

Oxygen defect K₂NiF₄-type oxides $\text{La}{}_{\mathrm{2?x}}\text{Sr}{}_{\mathrm{x}}\text{CuO}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>4?</mtext><mtext>x</mtext><mtext>2</mtext><mtext>+\delta </mtext>}}$ have been synthesized for a wide composition range: 0 ≤ x ≤ 1.34. From the X-ray and electron diffraction study three domains have been characterized: orthorhombic compounds with La₂CuO₄ structure for 0 ≤ x < 0.10, tetragonal oxides similar to LaSrCuO₄ for 0.10 ≤ x < 1 and several superstructures derived from the tetragonal cell ( with n = 3, 4, 4.5, 5, 6) for 1 ≤ x ≤ 1.34. The compounds corresponding to 0 < x < 1 differ from the other oxides in that they are characterized by the presence of copper with two oxidation states: + 2 and + 3. A model structure for La_0.8Sr_1.2CuλO_3.4, in which copper has only the + 2 oxidation state, and for which the actual cell is tegragonal—a = 18.80₄ Å and c = 12.94 Å—has been established. The particular structural evolution of these compounds is discussed in terms of a competition between the capability of Cu(II) to be oxidized to Cu(III) and the ordering of oxygen vacancies.

Garnet-perovskite transformations in the Sm₂O₃Ga₂O₃ and Gd₂O₃Ga₂O₃ systems     

M.A. DiGiuseppe  S. Soled 《Journal of solid state chemistry》1979,30(2):203-208

The effect of heating garnet melts to various temperatures has been investigated. The previously reported decomposition of the garnet phase due to loss of Ga₂O₃ was corroborated. However, it was also observed that when gallium oxide loss is prevented and the maximum temperature of the melt exceeds a critical value, phase separation of garnet to perovskite and β-gallium oxide occurs:

$\text{RE}{}_3\text{Ga}{}_5\text{O}{}_{12}\text{?3RE}\text{GaO}{}_3\text{+}\text{Ga}{}_2\text{O}{}_3$

.The reverse reaction will occur by reheating the two-phase mixture to the garnet melting point.

Intramolecular metalation of PBu^t₂Ph and PBu^t₃ in palladium acetate complexes     

H. Werner  H.J. Kraus 《Journal of organometallic chemistry》1980,204(3):415-422

Reaction of [PdCl₂(PBu^t₂Ph)]₂ with silver acetate gives the internally metalated complex [P$\text{dCH}{}_2\text{CMe}{}_2\text{P}$Bu^tPh]₂(μ-Cl)₂. This reacts with TlC₅H₅ and LiC₅Me₅ with chloride-bridge cleavage to yield C₅R₅P$\text{dCH}{}_2$PBu^tPh (R = H, Me). The complex [P$\text{dCH}{}_2\text{CMe}{}_2\text{P}$Bu^t₂]₂(μ-Cl)₂,prepared from [PdCl₂(PBu^t₃)]₂ and CH₃COOAg, is analogously converted into C₅R₅$\text{PdCH}{}_2\text{CMe}{}_2\text{P}$Bu^t₂.
