Thermisches Verhalten von Caesiumchloroferraten(III) und Caesiumchloroferrat(III)-Hydraten. II. Die Rehydratation der Zersetzungsprodukte von Cs3[FeCl6] – Eine ramanspektroskopische Untersuchung unter definierter Wasserdampfatmosphäre [1]

The Thermal Behaviour of Caesiumchloroferrates(III) and Caesiumehloroferrate(III) Hydrates. II. The Rehydration of Decomposition Products of Cs₃[FeCl₆] — A Raman Spectroscopic Study under Definite Atmosphere of Water Vapour Cs₃[FeCl₆] formed by dehydration of Cs₃[FeCl₆] · H₂O at about 160°C does not change at normal atmosphere within 3 till 4 hours. Rehydration under the vapour pressure of the eliminated water yields the monohydrate in nearly the same time. In the same manner rehydration of the solid mixture of Cs[FeCl₄] and 2 CsCl formed by thermal decomposition of the metastable Cs₃[FeCl₆] (280°C) produces the intermediates Cs₃[Fe₂Cl₉] and Cs₂[Fe(H₂O)Cl₅] in mixtures with CsCl and, finally, Cs₃[FeCl₆] · H₂O. The formation of Cs₃[Fe₂Cl₉] from Cs[FeCl₄] and CsCl is accelerated by water. The reaction cycle has been studied using Raman and IR spectroscopy. The results will be discussed with respect to thermoanalytical data.
