Hf27Si6P10, a novel metal-rich compound with P2 groups
2000
The new ternary metal rich compound Hf27Si6P10 has been synthesized by reduction of HfP with Hf and Si; Hf27Si6P10 crystallizes in a new structure type, a characteristic and unexpected feature of which is the presence of P2 groups; the structural results are interpreted with the aid of high-level band structure calculations.
Synthesis and Crystal Structure of Ln3(OH)(CrO4)4 · 3.5H2O (Ln = Pr, Nd) and Ln2(OH)2(CrO4)2 (Ln = Tb, Gd): Thermal Behavior and Infrared Spectra of …
1993
Abstract Crystal structures of Ln 2 (OH) 2 (CrO 4 ) 2 ( Ln = Gd, Tb) and Ln 3 (OH)(CrO 4 ) 4 · 3.5H 2 O ( Ln = Pr, Nd) were determined by a conventional single-crystal X-ray diffraction technique. Crystals of Ln 2 (OH) 2 (CrO 4 ) 2 ( Ln = Gd, Tb) are monoclinic, space group P 2 1 / c (no. 14) with lattice parameters a = 8.2454(4) A, b = 11.3834(5) A, C = 12.1420(8) A, and β = 136,590(5)°, Z = 4, D x = 4.92 mg · m -3 for Gd 2 (OH) 2 (CrO 4 ) 2 and a = 8.214(1) A, b = 11.348(1) A, c = 12.094(2) A, and β = 136.59(1)°, Z = 4, D x = 5.01 Mg · m -3 for Tb 2 (OH) 2 (CrO 4 ) 2 . Crystals of Ln 3 (OH)(CrO 4 )) 4 · 3.5H 2 O ( Ln = Pr, Nd) are monoclinic, space group C 2/ c (No. 15) with lattice param…
Aqueous Solubility Diagrams for Cementitious Waste Stabilization Systems: II, End-Member Stoichiometries of Ideal Calcium Silicate Hydrate Solid Solu…
2001
Solubility in the fully hydrated CaO–SiO2–H2O system can be best described using two ideal C-S-H-(I) and C-S-H-(II) binary solid solution phases. The most recent structural ideas about the C-S-H gel permit one to write stoichiometries of polymerized C-S-H-(II) end-members as hydrated precursors of the stable tobermorite and jennite minerals in the form of 5Ca(OH)2·6SiO2·5H2O and 10Ca(OH)2·6SiO2·6H2O, respectively. For thermodynamic modeling purposes, it is more convenient to express the number of basic silica and portlandite units in these stoichiometries using the coefficients nSi and nCa. Thermodynamic solid-solution aqueous-solution equilibrium modeling by applying the Gibbs energy minim…
Modelling of the cation motions in complex system: case of Na-mordenites
2002
Abstract Semi-empirical inter-atomic potentials and Monte Carlo algorithms are proposed to predict the evolution of the interaction energy between sodium ions and a mordenite type aluminosilicate network as a function of Si/Al ratio. This result is favourably compared with the activation energy barriers for Na + `jumps' responsible for the polarization change, measured by thermally stimulated current (TSC) spectroscopy, for Na-mordenites characterized by Si/Al ratios ranged from 5.5 to 12. Finally, we propose a possible mechanism for the cation motions, which involves activation barriers within the same order of magnitude than those measured by TSC.
Ionic transport and heat capacity of glass-forming metalnitrate mixtures
1997
Abstract Ionic transport of the glass-forming metalnitrate mixtures [Ca(NO 3 ) 2 ] 0.44 [KNO 3 ] 0.56 (MKN), and [Mg(NO 3 ) 2 ] 0.44 [NaNO 3 ] 0.56 (MNN) was investigated near the glass transition using broadband spectroscopy of the complex conductivity to 300 MHz. The real part of the conductivity exhibits a transition from frequency independent to power law behavior as found in most ionic conductors. At high frequencies the frequency exponent approaches unity and becomes larger at low temperatures. In the real part of the dielectric constant, a relaxation step could be observed in CRN. A detailed evaluation of the results within the modulus formalism is presented. The imaginary part of t…
Solvent induced single-crystal to single-crystal structural transformation and concomitant transmetalation in a 3D cationic Zn(II)-framework.
2015
A 3D cationic Zn(II) framework, based on Zn2(CO2)4 paddle-wheel secondary building units (SBUs) and Zn16(CO2)32 polyhedral supramolecular building blocks (SBBs), has been synthesized. At room temperature, the framework undergoes guest solvent triggered reversible structural transformation and concomitant Zn(II) to Cu(II) transmetalation in a single-crystal to single-crystal fashion.
Effect of the Al/Si atomic ratio on surface and structural properties of sol-gel prepared aluminosilicates
2003
Abstract A series of aluminosilicates with an Al/Si ratio ranging from 0 to ∞ (0 for pure silica and ∞ for pure alumina) was prepared by sol–gel process and characterized by surface and structure techniques. Aluminum tri sec butoxide and tetramethylorthosilicate were used as precursors for the sol–gel synthesis. The acidic properties of the oxides were studied by determination of the zero point charges, through mass titration method, and, for selected samples, by FT-IR spectroscopy of adsorbed pyridine used as a probe for both Bronsted and Lewis acidity. A dependence of the acidity on the Al/Si atomic ratio was found. According to the X-ray diffraction patterns, all the oxides have an amorp…
Triplet exciplexes as energy transfer photosensitisers

Experimental evidence is provided for the occurrence of triplet–triplet energy transfer from benzoylthiophene–indole exciplexes to naphthalenes with a remarkable stereodifferentiation; chiral recognition is also observed in the decay of the generated naphthalene triplets.

Porous fractal gels: secondary effects in SEC
1992
Abstract The fractal nature of porous silica gels, Spherosil XOA 200 and of a Lichrospher mixture, has been tested through size exclusion chromatography of polystyrene in pure and mixed eluents. Fractal parameters, D f and L , depend on eluent with D f values close to 2.0 for Spherosil and higher than 2.0 for Lichrospher. D f and L changes with eluent have been related to secondary separation effects and partition and adsorption contributions have been evaluated.
