Anionic high-temperature conduction in single crystals of nonstoichiometric phases R1 ? y M y F3 ? y (R = La-Lu, M = Ca, Sr, Ba) with the tysonite (LaF3) structure

Electrophysical properties of single crystals of nonstoichiometric phases R_{1 − y} M _y F_{3 − y} , where R = La-Lu, M = Ca, Sr, or Ba, with the tysonite (LaF₃) structure, which are present in a metastable state after being grown and cooled, are measured in the temperature interval extending from 300 to 1073 K. It is discovered that, during a sufficiently long high-temperature investigation, solid solutions R_{1 − y} Ca _y F_{3 − y} , where R = Tb, Dy, or Ho, undergo irreversible variations in the phase composition in the temperature region 723 to 823 K. This level of temperatures, which correspond to partial decomposition of phases R_{1 − y} Ca _y F_{3 − y} with the rare-earth elements of the end of the period, lies above the temperatures to which the fluoride solid electrolytes are usually heated when used in solid-state electrochemical devices. The temperature and concentration dependences of the phases’ electroconduction are explained in the framework of the vacancy mechanism of anionic transport. Original Russian Text ? N.I. Sorokin, B.P.

Anodic oxidation of silver in 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide ionic liquid

Electrochemical oxidation of silver in the 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide ([BMIm]Br) ionic liquid is studied by cyclic voltammetry, chronopotentiometry, chronoammetry, and gravimetry. Two electrode processes irreversibly proceed on the silver electrode in the potential range studied: the formation of compound [BMIm]⁺[AgBr₂]^?, which is soluble in [BMIm]Br, and difficultly soluble AgBr.     

应用扫描电化学显微镜研究电子在室温离子液体与1,2-二氯乙烷混合溶液/水相界面上的转移反应

应用扫描电化学显微镜研究了室温离子液体(Omim·Tf2N)与1,2-二氯乙烷(DCE)混合溶液/水界面上的电子转移反应. 在保持共同离子(Tf2N-)的浓度比恒定及异相电子转移反应由界面电势差所决定的条件下, 研究了离子液体和DCE混合溶液中二茂铁(Fc)与水相中亚铁氰化钾[K4Fe(CN)6]之间异相电子转移反应. 探讨了混合溶液中离子液体的体积分数(xRTIL)的变化对混合溶液/水界面上电子转移反应的影响. 结果表明, 随着xRTIL的减小(从1减小到0.1), Fc在混合溶液中的扩散系数单调递增(从2.730×10-7 cm2·s-1增加到9.131×10-6 cm2·s-1); 而异相电子转移反应速率常数(k)则先逐渐减小(从8.0 mol-1·cm·s-1减小到0.32 mol-1·cm·s-1), 之后又略有增大(从0.32 mol-1·cm·s-1增大到0.48 mol-1·cm·s-1). 对这种现象可能的原因进行了较详细探讨.     

离子液体存在下脂肪醛的环化三聚反应

Aliphatic aldehydes such as ethanal,propanal,n-butanal,isobutyraldehyde,n-valeraldehyde,isovaleraldehyde,n-hexanal and n-octanal were converted into the corresponding 2,4,6-trialkyl-1,3,5-trioxanes through cyclotrimer-ization in the presence of the ferric chloride based ionic liquids at room temperature without solvent in high selec-tivity.The effects of different ionic liquids,acidity of ionic liquids and temperature on cyclotrimerization were alsostudied.The results showed that the ferric chloride based ionic liquids(apparent molar fraction of FeCl_3(x(FeCl_3)=0.62))were a kind of efficient catalysts for the cyclotrimerization of aliphatic aldehyde which could be separatedconveniently from the reaction mixture and recycled without loss of catalytic activity.The conversion of isobu-tyraldehyde and the selectivity to 2,4,6-triisopropyl-1,3,5-trioxane were 91.1% and 99.8% respectively under opti-mum reaction condition(isobutyraldehyde 25.0 g,[Et_3NH]Cl/FeCl_3(x(FeCl_3)=0.62)1.0 g,25 ℃for 1 h).     

Ternäre Halogenide vom Typ A3MX6. II. Das System Ag3−xNaxYCl6: Synthese,Strukturen, Ionenleitfähigkeit

Ternary Halides of the A₃MX₆ Type. II. The System Ag_3?xNa_xYCl₆: Synthesis, Structures, Ionic Conductivity . The influence of the substitution of Ag⁺ by Na⁺ ions on the crystal structure and the ionic conductivity of Ag₃YCl₆ (stuffed LiSbF₆-type structure) has been investigated. The system Ag_3?xNa_xYCl₆ forms a complete solid solution. The stuffed LiSbF₆-type structure is stable for all compositions. For compounds with Na⁺ contents of x > 1.67, the cryolite-type structure is observed as the high-temperature form. The transition temperature decreases steadily with increasing Na⁺ content. The “end member” phase Na₃YCl₆ transforms at 243 K from the monoclinic cryolite-type structure to the stuffed LiSbF₆-type structure (trigonal, R3 ; a = 697.3(1), c = 1 868.4(14) pm, Z = 3; R = 0.094; R_w = 0.069). The crystal structures of Ag_1.3Na_1.7YCl₆ (trigonal, R3 ; a = 691.5(2), c = 1 853.7(6) pm, Z = 3; R = 0.099, R_w = 0.081) and AgNa₂YCl₆ (trigonal, R3 ; a = 691.7(1), c = 1 853.9(5) pm, Z = 3; R = 0.099, R_w = 0.064) have also been determined. Both chlorides crystallize like Ag₃YCl₆ and Na₃YCl₆-I in the stuffed LiSbF₆-type structure. The monovalent cations, Ag⁺ and Na⁺, are distributed over the five octahedral voids that are occupied by the Ag⁺ ions alone in Ag₃YCl₆. The ionic conductivity for compounds within the solid solution Ag_3?xNa_xYCl₆ decreases with increasing Na⁺ content. The values for Na₃YCl₆ (σ = 1 · 10^?6 Ω^?1 cm^?1 at T = 500 K) are by 2.5 to 3.5 orders of magnitude smaller than those for Ag₃YCl₆ (σ = 6 · 10^?4 Ω^?1 cm^?1 at T = 500 K).     

Cation-crown ether complex formation in water. II. Alkali and alkaline earth cations and 12-crown-4, 15-crown-5, and 18-crown-6

The stability constants and the partial molal volume and isentropic partial molal compressibility changes of complex formation between cations and crown ethers in water at 25°C are presented. The cations involved are Na⁺, K⁺, Rb⁺, Cs⁺, Ca²⁺, and Ba²⁺, and the crown ethers are 12-crown-4, 15-crown-5, and 18-crown-6. Values of V of complex formation have been discussed in terms of two simple models, one based on the scaled particle theory, and the others on the Drude-Nernst continuum model. The results indicate that the charge of the potassium cation in 18-crown-6 is especially well screened from the water. On this basis hydration numbers of complexed cations have been calculated. This shows that the size of the cation compared to the crown ether hole is important for the contacts between complexed cations and water.     

Finkelstein Reaction in Functionalized Crown-ether Ionic Liquids

Recent years, crown ethers have been used in many fields, including phase transfer catalysis, chromatography stationary phase, ionselective electrode, and concentration of metal ions, etc1.. However, the toxicity of free crown ethers makes them unsuitable for industrial use2. Introduction of a crown ether as a functional group to functionalized ionic liquids has been reported3. These functionalized ionic liquids will combine the excellent properties of crown ether and ionic liquids without los…     

Hydrolysis of (CH3)3Sn+ in Various Salt Media

The hydrolysis of trimethyltin(IV) has been studied by potentiometry (H⁺ -glass electrode) and calorimetry in various salt media (NaNO₃, NaCl, KCl, Na₂SO₄, and NaNO₃—NaCl mixtures). The effect of ionic strength on the hydrolysis constants is accounted for by a simple Debye–Hückel type equation and by Pitzer equations. The results allow us to obtain H for hydrolysis and the temperature dependence of the Pitzer parameters. The resulting coefficients can be used to examine the speciation of (CH₃)₃Sn⁺ in multicomponent electrolyte solutions, such as natural waters, over a wide range of temperature and ionic strength.
