Synthesis and characterization of the pseudo-hexagonal hollandites ALi2Ru6O12 (A=Na, K)

The crystal structures, synthesis and physical properties of ruthenium hollandites ALi₂Ru₆O₁₂ (A=Na, K) with a new pseudo-hexagonal structure type are described. Analogous to tetragonal hollandites, the framework is made of MO₆ octahedra in double chains that share corner oxygens with each other to create interstitial tunnels. The tunnels are either hexagonal or triangular in cross-section. Magnetic susceptibilities, low temperature specific heat, and electrical resistivities are reported. The data indicate that these materials are normal, low density of states metals. This new structure type can be extended from A=Group I to A=Group II ions with the synthesis of CaLi₂Ru₆O₁₂ and SrLi₂Ru₆O₁₂.     

尼龙-6 18的晶型转变研究

以偶偶尼龙-6 18为例, 通过示差扫描量热分析(DSC), 广角X射线衍射(WAXD)与傅里叶变换红外光谱(FTIR)等方法研究了其Brill转变的过程, 探索了脂肪族聚酰胺的晶型转变的本质. X射线衍射结果表明， 随着温度的升高, 尼龙-6 18由三斜晶系转变为假六方晶型, 同时其DSC曲线上出现一个较宽的吸热峰. 红外光谱结果表明, 在其晶型转变过程中, 晶体内氢键强度逐渐减弱, 与酰胺键相连的C—C和C—N键发生扭曲. 酰胺基团之间的亚甲基链段的振动逐渐增强, 部分亚甲基单元由反式构象变成旁式构象, 最后整齐排列的亚甲基链段逐渐变得无序化.
