PHASE TRANSITIONS IN HALOGENOANTIMONATE(V) CRYSTALS: [N(CH3)4]SbCl6 AND [N(C2H5)4]SbCl6
Abstract New crystals of the family of alkylammonium chloroantimonates(V), [N(CH 3 ) 4 ]SbCl 6 and [N(C 2 H 5 ) 4 ]SbCl 6 , have been grown and systematically studied. X-ray studies show that [N(C 2 H 5 ) 4 ]SbCl 6 is composed of isolated cations and ideal SbCl 6 − octahedra. Differential scanning calorimetry, dilatometric and dielectric measurements reveal structural phase transitions in [N(CH 3 ) 4 ]SbCl 6 and [N(C 2 H 5 ) 4 ]SbCl 6 of first order at 236 and 345 K, respectively. The measurements of 1 H-NMR spin-lattice relaxation times, T 1 , show that mechanism of the phase transitions in [N(CH 3 ) 4 ]SbCl 6 and [N(C 2 H 5 ) 4 ]SbCl 6 is due to the reorientations of the tetraalkylammoniu…
The structure and phase transition of mixed crystals
The phase transition and molecular motions of methylammonium cations are studied in the temperature range from 110 to 450 K in the (x = 0.22, 0.345) (MACAB) crystal by x-ray DSC, dilatometric, dielectric and NMR techniques. It is shown that MACAB (x = 0.22) undergoes a structural phase transition at 222 K. The second moment of the NMR line () and the temperature dependence of spin lattice relaxation time () results are interpreted in terms of ( ion dynamics. In the high-temperature phase (I) the cations undergo isotropic reorientations. In the low-temperature phase (II) only one of three cations is still disordered, whereas the two others perform a type of reorientation about their C - N ax…
Crystal structure, dielectric properties and molecular motions in ( i -C 4 H 9 NH 3 ) 3 Bi 2 Br 9
Abstract The crystal structure of ( i -C 4 H 9 NH 3 ) 3 Bi 2 Br 9 at room temperature has been determined and refined to R =0.036. The crystal is orthorhombic, space group Ama 2. The structure is built up of the i -butylammonium cations and isolated Bi 2 Br 9 3− anions. The complex dielectric permittivity along the a -axis has been measured between 500 Hz and 1000 MHz in the vicinity of two phase transitions at 252 and 263 K. The dielectric response close to 252 K is well described by the Debye equation. The activation energy of the reorientation of the i -butylammonium cations is found to be 0.68 eV. The temperature dependencies of the proton relaxation time T 1 and of the second moment of…
