Efficient Diffusion-Controlled Ligand Exchange Crystal Growth of Isostructural Inorganic–Organic Halogenidorhodates(III): The Missing Hexaiodidorhoda…
2015
The monohydrates of piperazine-1,4-diium hexabromidorhodate(III) bromide and hexaiodidorhodate(III) iodide were obtained by a diffusion-controlled ligand exchange crystal growth method using a hydrochloric acid solution of rhodium(III) chloride trihydrate and piperazine, dissolved in hydrobromic and hydroiodic acid, respectively, separated by a layer of hydrohalic acid. Both inorganic–organic hybrids are defined by the general formula (C4H12N2)2[RhX6]X·H2O (X = Br, 1 or I, 2). They both crystallize in the orthorhombic Pnma space group, and they are isostructural with an isostructurality index above 95%. The cationic building blocks—piperazine-1,4-diium ions and the inorganic components—slig…
Use of transmission electron microscopy to obtain quantitative information about polymers
2005
In the polymer field the electron microscope is frequently used as a tool for obtaining purely qualitative data, but only rarely to obtain quantitative information. In order to discuss the potential of this instrument for the latter purpose it is convenient to separate the discussion into the following sub-sections.
Effect of the crystallization on the phase transitions IV ⇐ III and IV ⇐ II of ammonium nitrate
1993
Abstract The solid state phase transition path of ammonium nitrate is influenced by the manner of crystallization. Slow crystallization from water gives ideal crystals, which behaved differently from crystals prepared by rapid crystallization from the melt.
Evolution of intermolecular contacts with temperature and pressure in bromoethane and iodoethane – a comparative study
2022
At ambient conditions two liquids, bromoethane, C2H5Br (MBE, m.p. 154.6 K) and iodoethane, C2H5I (MIE, m.p. 162.1 K), have been crystallized under both isobaric and isochoric conditions using in situ low-temperature and high-pressure techniques. The single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies, supported by the isothermal compressibility and isobaric differential scanning calorimetry measurements, allowed the monitoring and analysis at low temperature and high pressure of the effects of externally induced changes in MBE and MIE. The monoclinic MBE and MIE crystals are found to be isostructural. They are stable, in the investigated regimes, i.e. down to 100 K/0.1 MPa and up to ∼295 K/3.7 GPa, …
Dynamics of supercooled confined water measured by deep inelastic neutron scattering
2017
In this paper, we present the results of deep inelastic neutron scattering (DINS) measurements on supercooled water confined within the pores (average pore diameter ~ 20 Ã ) of a disordered hydrophilic silica matrix obtained through hydrolysis and polycondensation of the alkoxide precursor Tetra-Methyl-Ortho-Silicate via the sol-gel method. Experiments were performed at two temperatures (250 K and 210 K, i.e., before and after the putative liquidâliquid transition of supercooled confined water) on a âwetâ sample with hydration h ~ 40% w/w, which is high enough to have water-filled pores but low enough to avoid water crystallization. A virtually âdryâ sample at h ~ 7% was also inve…
Phase equilibria of Pantelleria trachytes (Italy): constraints on pre-eruptive conditions and on the metaluminous to peralkaline transition in silici…
2018
Pantelleria Island is the type locality of pantellerite, an iron and alkali-rich rhyolite (P.I=molar Na2O+K2O/Al2O3 >1.05). Peralkaline rhyolites (i.e pantellerite and comendite) and trachytes usually represent the felsic end-members in continental rift systems (e.g., Pantelleria, Tibesti, Ethiopia, Afar, Kenya, Bain and Range, South Greenland) and in oceanic sland settings (Socorro Is., Easter Is., Iceland and Azores). The origin of peralkaline rhyolites in the different tectonic settings is still a matter of debate and three hypotheses have been suggested: (a) crystal fractionation of alkali-basalt in a shallow reservoir to produce a trachyte which subsequently gives rise to a pantelle…
