Etude des equilibres solide-liquide des systems MIPO3Sm(PO3)3 (MI = Li,Na, Ag)

The M^IPO₃Sm(PO₃)₃(M^I = Li, Na, Ag) systems were studied. Differential thermal analysis and X-ray diffraction were used to investigate the liquidus and solidus relations. Three compounds LiSm(PO₃)₄, NaSm(PO₃)₄, and AgSm(PO₃)₄ were obtained which melt incongruently at 1248, 1143, and 1078 K, respectively. These compounds are isomorphous with their homologs LiLn(PO₃)₄, NaLn(PO₃)₄, AgLn(PO₃)₄ (Ln = Ce, La, Nd). They belong to the monoclinic system. The LiSm(PO₃)₄ unit cell parameters refined by least squares method are a = 16.43(3) Å, b = 7.16(1) Å, c = 9.65(3) Å, β = 125,9°(1), with the space group $\text{C2}\text{c}$ and Z = 4. NaSm(PO₃)₄ and AgSm(PO₃)₄ are isotypic; they cristallize in the $\text{P2}{}_1\text{c}$ space group, Z = 4; their unit cell parameters are, respectively, a = 12.18(1) Å, b = 13.05(1) Å, c = 7.25(5) Å, β = 126,53°(4), $\text{a = 12.25(1)}\text{A}\text{?}$, b = 13.06(1) Å, c = 7.201(9) Å, β = 126,57°(7). The ir spectra of the last two compounds indicate that these phosphates are chain phosphates.     

AlSiP3, a compound with a novel wurtzite-pyrite intergrowth structure

AlSiP₃ is formed by heating aluminum and silicon powder with red phosphorus and adding small amounts of iodine or AlCl₃. Small, black crystals with metallic lustre grow at 1200°K. The compound crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pmnb (No. 62) with a = 987.2 pm, b = 586.1 pm, c = 608.8 pm and four formula units. In the structure isolated P atoms as well as P₂ pairs are present (PP = 218.2 pm). Silicon is tetrahedrally bonded (SiP = 224.2 ? 228.2 pm) whereas aluminum has octahedral coordination (AlP = 244.2 – 260.8 pm). The structure can be described as an intergrowth structure of wurtzite and pyrite type.     

Analysis of critical points on the potential energy surface

A simple classification scheme is proposed for critical points, based only on rankr and signatures of the (n,n)-matrixG of harmonic force constants. The determination ofr ands, e.g. by the well-known factorizationG=L ^T gL (L: triangular matrix,g: diagonal matrix), has several theoretical as well as practical (computational) advantages over the inspection of eigenvalues ofG, so far used in quantum chemistry. The eigenvalues are sufficient butnot necessary for a classification whereas rank and signature are the only necessary and sufficient prerequisites for solving the task. For the purpose of presenting a working example, by calculating only a 2×2 torque constant matrix, it is shown that the coplanar ethylbenzene is unstable in the CNDO/2 picture.     

Revision of the decay data of166–170Re,including new isomers167m,169mRe

The neutron-deficient rhenium isotopes^166–170Re were investigated using reactions of³²S with monoisotopic¹⁴¹Pr targets. Gamma-rays following the-decays of^166–169Re were measured for the first time. Four new-rays with energies of 4.70,4.83, 4.87, and 5.02 MeV were detected in addition to the known 5.50, 5.26, and 5.06 MeV-rays. Alpha-decaying isomer pairs were discovered in¹⁶⁷Re and¹⁶⁹Re. The measured half-lives are 2.3(2)s for¹⁶⁶Re, 3.4(4)s and 6.2(5)s for¹⁶⁷Re, 4.4(1)s for¹⁶⁸Re, 8.1(5)s and 16.3(8)s for¹⁶⁹Re, and 9.2(2)s for¹⁷⁰Re. The nuclear structure is discussed in terms of single-particle states.This work has been funded by the German Federal Minister for Research and Technology (BMFT) under contract number 06GÖ105     

Investigation of the fusion reaction27Al+236U→263105 at excitation energies of 57 MeV and 65 MeV

The neutron-deficient isotopes^257,258105 were produced in the reaction²⁷Al+²³⁶u in 6n and 5n evaporation channels, respectively. The evaporation residues emerging from the target were separated in-flight from the projectiles and from products of different nuclear reactions by the electrostatic separator VASSILISSA [1]. The isotopes were then implanted into position-sensitive silicon detectors and identified using the --correlation method. The measured production cross-section is (5n)=(0.45±0.20)nb atE _P =154 MeV and (6n)=(0.075±0.055) nb atE _P =163 MeV. These cross-sections are compared with data measured for the same isotopes in the more symmetrical reaction⁵⁰Ti+²⁰⁹Bi.     

Conditional solubility versus pO2− of cerium(III) oxide in molten equimolar NaCl+KCl at 727°C

Reactions between cerium trichloride and oxide ions were studied in NaCl+KCl (1/1) at 1000°K, by potentiometry with a calcia-stabilized zirconia membrane electrode. Titration curves clearly demonstrated the existence of soluble cerium oxychloride (CeO⁺) and precipitated cerium oxide (Ce₂O₃), with respective dissociation constants 10^?11 and 10^?30 (molality scale). The corresponding conditional solubility diagram {log S (Ce^III)=f(pO^2?)} is presented and discussed.     

GRECP/5e‐MRD‐CI calculation of the electronic structure of PbH

The correlation calculation of the electronic structure of PbH is carried out with the generalized relativistic effective core potential (GRECP) and multireference single‐ and double‐excitation configuration interaction (MRD‐CI) methods. The 22‐electron GRECP for Pb is used and the outer core 5s, 5p, and 5d pseudospinors are frozen using the level‐shift technique, so only five external electrons of PbH are correlated. A new configuration selection scheme with respect to the relativistic multireference states is employed in the framework of the MRD‐CI method. The [6, 4, 3, 2] correlation spin–orbit basis set is optimized in the coupled cluster calculations on the Pb atom using a recently proposed procedure, in which functions in the spin–orbital basis set are generated from calculations of different ionic states of the Pb atom and those functions are considered optimal that provide the stationary point for some energy functional. Spectroscopic constants for the two lowest‐lying electronic states of PbH (²Π_1/2, ²Π_3/2) are found to be in good agreement with the experimental data. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

29Si and 13C NMR Studies of organofunctional di- and trisilanes

A series of di- and trisilanes of general structure Ph₃SiSiMe₂R and (Ph₃Si)₂SiR′R″ were synthesized, and the ²⁹Si and ¹³C chemical shifts and one-bond siliconsilicon coupling constants (¹J_SiSi) were measured. The coupling constants of the disilanes were found to be primarily dependent upon the inductive effect of the alkyl group, R, as measured by the Taft o^★ constant. In both series of compounds, increasing alkyl substitution at silicon led to a decrease in ¹J_SiSi.
