The literature data and the results obtained by the authors on the study of the structure and properties of a series of polycrystalline and single-crystal samples of pure and Mg-doped oxymolybdates Ln2MoO6 (Ln = La, Pr, Nd) are analyzed. Presumably, the high-temperature phase I41/acd of Nd2MoO6 single crystals is retained at room temperature. The reason for the loss of the center of symmetry in the structures of La2MoO6 and Pr2MoO6 and the transition to the space group I4¯c2 is the displacement of oxygen atoms along the twofold diagonal axes. In all structures, Mg cations are localized near the positions of the Mo atoms, and the splitting of the positions of the atoms of rare-earth elements is found. Thermogravimetric studies, as well as infrared spectroscopy data for hydrated samples of Ln2MoO6 (Ln = La, Pr, Nd), pure and with an impurity of Mg, confirm their hygroscopic properties.

AbstractA natural saponite was acid activated at room temperature or 90°C with different acid/clay ratios and the products were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy and thermogravimetry. The leaching of Mg from the octahedral sheets is enhanced by an increase in the acid/clay ratio and by an increase in temperature of activation. Textural properties are reported, and it appears that they are strongly correlated to the presence of a noncrystalline silica phase which is formed during the acid activation process. The desorption of cyclohexylamine indicates that for samples activated at 90°C the number of acid sites in the acidactivated saponites decreases following severe acid treatment. Infrared spectroscopy of adsorbed pyridine on samples after calcination at 500°C suggests that acid activation at 90°C produces a single type of Bronsted site but two types of Lewis sites whereas activation at room temperature results in only one type of Lewis site in addition to a Brønsted site. The two Lewis sites are suggested to originate from residual Al in the clay structure and to AI exsolved from the layers during activation. The dehydration of pentan-1-ol has been used as a further probe to measure acidity by monitoring the degree of conversion and selectivity for the different samples.

The infrared spectra were registered for series of three-ring liquid crystalline esters, differing in the structure of alkyl chain, in the substitution of benzene ring by fluorine atoms and in the type of helicoidal structure in the chiral smectic CA phase with antiferroelectric properties. The influence of molecular structure on the shift of signals coming from carbonyl group, located in the rigid core, was observed. Keywords: liquid crystals, helicoidal structure, chiral smectic CA phase, antiferroelectric crystalline phase, infrared spectroscopy
