Abstract: | Gas‐Phase Equilibria of Quaternary Bismuth Selenium Oxidechlorides The existence of new compounds Bi4O4SeCl2, Bi10O12SeCl4, and Bi22O28SeCl8 in the pseudoternary area Bi2O3/Bi2Se3/BiCl3 has been established by solid state and chemical vapour transport reactions. Furthermore, heterogeneous equilibria between solid state and vapour phase have been studied by mass‐spectrometric measurements. The novel gas‐molecule BiSeCl has been detected. The results of ab initio calculations for structure and refining of thermochemistry of this molecule are given: (Bi–Se) = 2,44 Å; (Bi–Cl) = 2,49 Å; (Se–Bi–Cl) = 106,0°; Thermodynamics: δH°B,298 (BiSeClg) = 6,0 kcal/mol; S°298 (BiSeClg) = 75,8 cal/mol K; Cp (BiSeClg) = 13,583 + 0,64 · 10–3 · T – 0,41 · 105 · T–2 – 0,35 · 10–6 · T2 cal/mol K. Finally, the composition of the gaseous phase has been calculated and estimations about chemical vapour transport were carried out by thermodynamic modelling. |
