Charge carriers and dc polarization phenomena in solid Na2WO4

Ionic transport measurements based on the Tubandt method have been performed in all three solid phases of Na₂WO₄ at temperatures between 550 and 600°C in air. It is shown that t_Na⁺ = 1.00 in all cases. Ag is oxidized anodically to Ag⁺ at Ag/Na₂WO₄ interfaces. Cathodically only (air) oxygen reduction occurs, resulting in the formation of a poorly conducting layer of Na₂O and Na₂CO₃ at the cathode.     

The dissociation energies of gaseous Br2 and I2

New rotational analyses have been made of the B³Π_0⁺u—X¹Σ⁺_g systems of ⁷⁹Br₂, ⁸¹Br₂ and ¹²⁷I₂. The density of vibrational states near the dissociation limit in the upper states follows the LeRoy—Bernstein predictions for n = 5. From short extrapolations, the ground state dissociation energies are found to be: D₀(⁷⁹Br⁸¹Br) = 15895.6 cm^?1, D₀(¹²⁷I₂) = 12440.1 cm^?1.     

Phase relations in the systems Na2OIrO2 and Na2OPtO2 in air

The equilibrium phase relations for the Na₂OIrO₂ and Na₂OPtO₂ systems were determined in air using the quenching technique. The Na₂OIrO₂ system contains two stable compounds Na₂O·IrO₂ and 2Na₂O·3IrO₂, which dissociate at 1235 and 1040°C, respectively. The Na₂OPtO₂ system contains three compounds: Na₂O·PtO₂, metastable 2Na₂O·3PtO₂, and Na_xPt₃O₄ (0 ? x ? 1). Their dissociation temperatures are 890, 710, and 810°C, respectively. Indexed X-ray diffraction powder patterns for Na₂O·IrO₂ and 2Na₂O·3IrO₂ are given.     

Laser excited fluorescence of I2

The fluorescence spectrum of iodine was investigated from 200 to 520 nm in the presence and absence of buffer gases following excitation of I₂ with 193 nm photons. The pressure dependence of the fluorescence and tentative transition assignments for one new and several less well-known I₂ emission bands are discussed.     

Photodissociation of molecular beams of N2O4

A molecular beam of N₂O₄ molecules was photodissociated by an excimer laser at 193 and 248 nm. The time-of-flight distribution of NO₂ photofragments is consistent with the formation of two electronically excited NO_2* molecules in the ā(²B₂) or B?(²B₁) state. Visible emission from NO₂^* was observed in the photolysis at both 193 and 248 nm excitation. The parallel angular distribution of the NO₂ photofragments shows that at.193 nm N₂O₄ has a transition dipole along the N-N axis and the dissociative lifetime is estimated to be less than 1 ps.     

Structures of SO4 and Na2SO4

Full structure determinations of SO₄ and molecular Na₂SO₄ have been made using an atom superposition and electron delocalization molecular orbital theory. A C₁ structure in the form of a planar bent SO₂ + O₂ adduct is favored for SO₄. In Na₂SO₄, xxx edges of tetrahedral SO₄^2?.     

Rate of the reaction I2 + F2 → products

The rate coefficient, k1, for the reaction I2+F2k1→ products has been measured at room temperature to be k1 = (1.9 = 0.4) × 10?15 cm3/molecule s. The macroscopic rate is compared to microscopic cross-section data obtained from molecular beam experiments and is found to be consistent with the bimolecular reaction I2 + F2→ I2F + F.DG|National Research Council/Resident Research Associate.     

Potential-energy curves of some electronic states of Na2 and Na2+

Two different compounds were simultaneously adsorbed on a silver colloid, and Raman spectra were taken. One, which does not fulfil the resonance condition (in solution), showed the usual large (SERS) enhancement. The other compound, which (in solution) absorbs the light used, showed no net enhancement compared to the first. The extent of surface electric field amplification is discussed.     

Synthesis and characterization of sodium titanates Na2Ti3O7 and Na2Ti6O13

Na₂Ti₃O₇ and Na₂Ti₆O₁₃ were synthesized by sol-gel method in order to obtain pure phases. Different heat-treatments were applied on powders and pellets of these materials. The effects were studied by XRD, dilatometry, TGA-DTA, SEM and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Pure Na₂Ti₃O₇ was obtained at 973 K. Sintering at 1373 K caused a partial decomposition into Na₂Ti₆O₁₃. The Na₂Ti₃O₇ powder sintered at 1273 K showed polygonal microstructure. Na₂Ti₃O₇ pellets sintered at 1323 K for 10 h exhibited large structures. This latter microstructure decreased the electrical conductivity of Na₂Ti₃O₇. Pure Na₂Ti₆O₁₃ was obtained at 873 K. Sintering at 1073 K caused a partial decomposition into TiO₂ (rutile). Na₂Ti₆O₁₃ pellets sintered at 1323 K for 10 h exhibited common shrinkage behavior. This shrinkage process increased the electrical conductivity of this material. The presence of TiO₂ resulted in a oxygen partial pressure dependence of the electrical conductivity.     

Angular distribution of reaction products from the elementary reaction N + NO2 → N2 O+O by crossed molecular beams

The angular distribution of N₂O formed in the reaction of N with NO₂ has been measured by crossing beams of the reactants. The results imply a high degree of internal excitation of the N₂O product.     

Syntheses, crystal structures, and properties of three new metal selenites Na2Co2(SeO3)3, Na2Co1.67Ni0.33(SeO3)3, and Na2Ni2(SeO3)3

Three new sodium cobalt (nickel) selenite compounds, namely, Na₂Co₂(SeO₃)₃, Na₂Co_1.67Ni_0.33(SeO₃)₃, and Na₂Ni₂(SeO₃)₃ have been hydro-/solvothermally synthesized in the mixed solvents of acetonitrile and water. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses reveal that these isostructural compounds belong to the orthorhombic Cmcm space group and their structures feature three-dimensional open frameworks constructed by the two-dimensional layers of [MSeO₃] pillared by the [SeO₃]²⁻ groups. The two different types of Na⁺ ions reside in the intersecting two-dimensional channels parallel to the a- and c-axes, respectively. Their thermal properties have been investigated via TGA-DSC. The magnetic measurements indicate the existence of the antiferromagnetic interactions in these compounds.     

The vibrational relaxation of I2 by H2 in a supersonic jet

The vibrational relaxation of I₂ by H₂ has been studied in a supersonic free jet. It was observed that the addition of 5% H₂ to the helium carrier gas greatly reduces the concentration of X ¹Σ⁺_g(ν″ = 1) I₂ in the jet as compared to the concentration in a pure helium carrier. From this observation we have determined that the average vibrational relaxation cross sections of H₂ is 7.1 times as large as that of helium. Since the average vibrational relaxation cross section of deuterium is at least as large as that of hydrogen, the mechanism responsible for this phenomenon appears not to be dominated by mass effects.     

Structure and basic magnetic properties of the honeycomb lattice compounds Na2Co2TeO6 and Na3Co2SbO6

The synthesis, structure, and basic magnetic properties of Na₂Co₂TeO₆ and Na₃Co₂SbO₆ are reported. The crystal structures were determined by neutron powder diffraction. Na₂Co₂TeO₆ has a two-layer hexagonal structure (space group P6₃22) while Na₃Co₂SbO₆ has a single-layer monoclinic structure (space group C2/m). The Co, Te, and Sb ions are in octahedral coordination, and the edge sharing octahedra form planes interleaved by sodium ions. Both compounds have full ordering of the Co²⁺ and Te⁶⁺/Sb⁵⁺ ions in the ab plane such that the Co²⁺ ions form a honeycomb array. The stacking of the honeycomb arrays differ in the two compounds. Both Na₂Co₂TeO₆ and Na₃Co₂SbO₆ display magnetic ordering at low temperatures, with what appears to be a spin-flop transition found in Na₃Co₂SbO₆.

Reductive carbonylation of nitrobenzene over Pd/Fe/I2/Py and Pd/C/Fe/I2/Py catalytic systems

A simple catalytic system containing metallic palladium, iron and iodine has been shown to be very active in the carbonylation of nitrobenzene to carbamate. The influence of the components of the catalytic system studied on its selectivity and activity has been established. It has been found that the catalytic activity of palladium supported on carbon (using both lignite coal and bituminous coal) was not lower than the activity of metallic palladium. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

The effect of CTAB on Na2SO4 nucleation in mixed Na2SO4/CTAB aerosols by FTIR-ATR technology

FTIR-ATR technology is used to study the efflorescence kinetic of Na_2SO_4 and mixed Na_2SO_4/CTAB aerosols.As the RH decreased linearly,the v_3-SO_4~2 band shifts from 1094 cm~1 to 1132 cm~1,suggesting the phase transition of Na_2SO_4 from solution to crystal phase(Ⅲ).For pure Na_2SO_4 aerosols,the ERH is 75.1%RH,whereas the efflorescence point of mixed Na_2SO_4/CTAB aerosols(74.2%) is lower.By further analysis of IR differential spectra,the ratio of Na_2SO_4 crystals in mixed aerosols is only 62.7%and the heterogeneous nucleation rate of Na_2SO_4 in Na_2SO_4/CTAB mixed aerosols is lower than that in pure Na_2SO_4 aerosols.They showed that CTAB assembled into reversed micelle and part Na_2SO_4 droplets are in the core to form core-shell structure,and CTAB shell prevents core Na_2SO_4 solutions from crystallizing.However,the counter ion Br for CTAB reversed micelle can interact with Na~+ ions,which decreases the crystallization rate of free Na_2SO_4 droplets and ERH is delayed.     

Subsolidus phase relations in Na2O-CuO-Sb2On system and crystal structure of new sodium copper antimonate Na3Cu2SbO6

Subsolidus phase relation studies in the NaSb₃O₇-Na₃SbO₄-CuO-CuSb₂O₆ quadrangle of Na₂O-CuO-Sb₂O_n system at 1123-1173 K revealed the formation of one new compound Na₃Cu₂SbO₆. It is a superstructure derived from α-NaFeO₂ type, space group C2/m, lattice constants: a=5.6759(1) Å, b=8.8659(1) Å, c=5.8379(1) Å, β=113.289(1)°. All ions are in octahedral environment, but CuO₆ polyhedron exhibits strong elongation due to Jahn-Teller effect (Cu-O: 2.000(2) Å×2, 2.021(2) Å×2, 2.494(3) Å×2), whereas SbO₆ octahedron is almost regular. The relationship to other similar superlattices is discussed.     

Preparation and crystal structure of Na2Mn2S3

Na₂Mn₂S₃ was prepared by reacting manganese powder with an excess of anhydrous sodium carbonate and elemental sulfur at 870 K. Extraction of the solidified melt with water and alcohol yielded well developed, bright red crystals. Na₂Mn₂S₃ crystallizes with a new monoclinic structure type, space group $\text{C2}\text{c}\text{, Z = 8}$, with a = 14.942(2)Å, b = 13.276(2)Å, c = 6.851(2)Å, and β = 116.50(1)°. The crystal structure was determined from single crystal diffractometer data and refined to a conventional R value of 0.026 for 1613 observed reflections. The atomic arrangement shows sulfur-manganese-sulfur slabs which are separated from each other by corrugated layers of sodium atoms. A prominent feature of the crystal structure is the formation of short, four-membered zigzag chains built up by MnS₄ tetradedra sharing edges. These chains are further connected by the remaining apices to form an infinite sheet. Short MnMn distances (3.02 and 3.05 Å, respectively) are found within the four membered chains. Susceptibility measurements show antiferromagnetic interactions between the Mn atoms.

Beam-gas chemiluminescent reactions of Cu(2D) with Cl2, Br2, and I2

Chemiluminescent reactions involving copper and halogen molecules are shown to result from the bimolecular reaction of metastable Cu(²D) with Cl₂, Br₂, and I₂ under single-collision conditions. The collision-energy dependence of the reactions is described by a hard-sphere model with zero threshold energy. Cross sections for these reactions are compared with that for chemiluminescent reaction of Cu(²S) with F₂.
