The calcium salts Ca₂P₂O₆ · 2H₂O ( 1 ) and [Ca(H₂O)₃(H₂P₂O₆)] · 0.5(C₁₂H₂₄O₆) · H₂O ( 2 ) were prepared and structurally characterized by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction.

Crystal structures of hydrates of simple inorganic salts. II. Water‐rich calcium bromide and iodide hydrates: CaBr2·9H2O,CaI2·8H2O,CaI2·7H2O and CaI2·6.5H2O

Single crystals of calcium bromide enneahydrate, CaBr₂·9H₂O, calcium iodide octahydrate, CaI₂·8H₂O, calcium iodide heptahydrate, CaI₂·7H₂O, and calcium iodide 6.5‐hydrate, CaI₂·6.5H₂O, were grown from their aqueous solutions at and below room temperature according to the solid–liquid phase diagram.

The antiprisms of the iodide hydrate structures are connected either via trigonal‐plane‐sharing or edge‐sharing, forming dimeric units. The antiprisms in calcium bromide enneahydrate are monomeric.     

Zur Koordination des Aluminiums in den Calciumaluminathydraten 2 CaO · Al2O3 · 8 H2O und CaO · Al2O3 · 10 H2O

On the Coordination of Al in the Calcium Aluminate Hydrates 2 CaO · Al₂O₃ · 8 H₂O and CaO · Al₂O₃ · 10 H₂O By investigations with high-resolution ²⁷Al-NMR in solids it is shown that in the compound 2 CaO · Al₂O₃ · 8 H₂O the Al merely exist in octahedral coordination. According to this and considering its structural relationship with 4 CaO · Al₂O₃ · 19 H₂O the dicalcium aluminate hydrate is proposed to be formulated as [Ca₂Al(OH)₆][Al(OH)₃ (H₂O)₃]OH. Likewise for the compound CaO · Al₂O₃ · 10 H₂O the octahedral coordination of the Al is proved by ²⁷Al-NMR. This result corresponds with literature according to which a constitution as cyclohexaaluminate Ca₃[Al₆(OH)₂₄] · 18 H₂O is proposed.     

Chemische,thermoanalytische und röntgenorgraphische Untersuchungen zur Bildung des β-Ca2[P2O7] aus dem Ca2[P4O12] · 4 H2O

Chemical, Thermoanalytical, and X-ray Investigations to the Formation of the β-Ca₂[P₂O₇] from the Ca₂[P₄O₁₂] · 4 H₂O The formation of β-Ca₂[P₂O₇] from Ca₂[P₄O₁₂] · 4 H₂O (modification I) proceeds crystallographically oriented in several steps: In one of these steps an X-ray amorphous phase is formed and simultaneously cyclotetraphosphate reorganizes to polyphosphate. The dehydration proceeds in 2 steps: At 120°C 3 molecules and at 220°C 1 molecule are lost, respectively. The formation of diphosphate from polyphosphate, which is connected with the loss of P₂O₅, takes place at 850°C according to high temperature Guinier.     

Calcium and strontium thio­sulfate,CaS2O3·6H2O and SrS2O3·5H2O

In contrast to former morphological studies, the results presented here show that calcium(II) thio­sulfate hexahydrate, CaS₂O₃·6H₂O, crystallizes centrosymmetrically in the pinacoidal class (point group ). The structure is characterized by chains, parallel to [100], of alternating S₂O₃ and Ca(H₂O)₆O₂ groups sharing common O atoms. The composition of each chain link is [Ca(H₂O)₆(S₂O₃)]. The geometry is analysed and compared in detail with the structural features of monoclinic strontium(II) thio­sulfate pentahydrate, SrS₂O₃·5H₂O, which forms layers, parallel to (100), of alternating S₂O₃ and Sr(H₂O)₄O₅ groups connected via common O atoms and O–O edges. Each layer contains [Sr(H₂O)₃O(S₂O₃)]_∞ as the unique repeat unit.     

(Solid+Liquid) Equilibria in the Quaternary System Na2B4O7-MgB4O7-K2B4O7-H2O at 288 K

(Solid+Liquid) phase equilibria in the quaternary system Na₂B₄O₇‐MgB₄O₇‐K₂B₄O₇‐H₂O at 288 K were studied experimentally using the method of isothermal solution saturation. Solubility of any single salt in the solution of the quaternary system was determined experimentally. Based on the experimental data achieved, the phase diagram and water content diagram of the quaternary system were constructed, respectively. In the phase equilibrium diagram of the quaternary system Na₂B₄O₇‐MgB₄O₇‐K₂B₄O₇‐H₂O at 288 K, there are one invariant point E, three univariant curves E1E, E2E and E3E, and three fields of crystallization corresponding to Na₂B₄O₇·10H₂O, K₂B₄O₇·4H₂O and MgB₄O₇·9H₂O. The experimental results show that potassium borate (K₂B₄O₇·4H₂O) have higher solubilities than the magnesium borate and sodium borate in the quaternary system Na₂B₄O₇‐MgB₄O₇‐K₂B₄O₇‐H₂O at 288 K.     

Cyclic peroxosolvated calcium polyphosphates

Hydrogen peroxosolvated compounds containing up to 16% H₂O₂ have been synthesized by reacting the calcium cyclopolyphosphates NaCaP₃O₉ · 2H₂O, Ca₂P₄O₁₂ · 4H₂O, and Ca₃P₆O₁₈ · 9H₂O with hydrogen peroxide vapor or with a 70–96% hydrogen peroxide solution.

Nanosized peroxosolvated calcium polyphosphates have been obtained using an organic template (gelatin). The compounds have been characterized by scanning electron microscopy, IR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and thermal analysis.     

Preparation,Crystal Structure,Vibrational Spectra,and Thermal Behavior of Rb2H2P2O6·2H2O

Single crystals of Rb₂H₂P₂O₆ · 2H₂O could be obtained from aqueous solutions of hypodiphosphoric acid and rubidium carbonate. Its crystal structure was determined by X‐ray diffraction and it crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c with Z = 4. The salt‐like title compound consists of [H₂P₂O₆]^2– units in staggered P₂O₆‐skeleton conformation, Rb⁺ cations, and H₂O molecules, held together by intermolecular hydrogen bonds of the type O ··· O. The vibrational spectra (IR/FIR and Raman) of the rubidium salt were recorded and an assignment of the vibrational modes is proposed based on the point group C_2h for the P₂O₆‐skeleton of the anion. The thermal behavior of Rb₂H₂P₂O₆ · 2H₂O is dominated by a complex TG decay indicating a simultaneous H₂O delivery coupled with a disproportionation of [H₂P₂O₆]^2–, what is also supported by Raman spectra of heated samples.

Use of high-temperature differential scanning calorimetry to investigate the β–α transition in calcium pyrophosphate

High-temperature differential scanning calorimetry was used to investigate the thermodynamic parameters of the γ–β and β–α transitions in calcium pyrophosphate (Ca₂P₂O₇). The measured enthalpy of transition compared well with previous results when higher heating rates (≥20 K min^?1) were used. Recommendations for optimal use of HTDSC in high-temperature phase transition measurements are presented.

Kristallographische Orientierungsbeziehungen zwischen den Phasen der Reaktionsfolge Ca2[P4O12] · 4 H2O → β-(Ca2[PO3]4)x

Crystallographic Orientation Relations between the Phases in the Reaction Ca₂[P₄O₁₂] · 4 H₂O → β-(Ca₂[PO₃]₄)_x The dehydration of Ca₂[P₄O₁₂] · 4 H₂O modification I proceeds over several intermediate phases to β-(Ca₂[PO₃]₄)_x crystallographically oriented. One of the intermediate phases is X-ray amorphous. It is of special interest, that this amorphous phase does not interrupt the oriented course of the reaction. The β-polyphosphate transforms to β-Ca₂[P₂O₇] connected with the loss of P₂O₅ at further heating. The crystallographic orientation relations between educt and product were determined for all steps of the reaction. The unit cells of the phases were determined too.
