Abstract: | Thermal Behaviour of Cesium Chloroferrates(III) and Cesium Chloroferrate(III) Hydrates. On the Phase Diagram of the CsCl? FeCl3 System The thermal behaviour of CsFeCl4, Cs2Fe(H2O)Cl5, and Cs3FeCl6 · H2O has been studied by simultaneous thermal analysis up to 500°C, x-ray diffraction, and Raman spectroscopy. Anhydrous Cs3FeCl6 is metastable up to 280°C. Anhydrous Cs2FeCl5 does not exist. The decomposition of Cs3Fe2Cl9 at 270°C yields CsCl and CsFeCl4. This solid phase reaction is reversible. The corrected phase diagram of the system CsCl? FeCl3 is presented basing on experimental results. |
