The Stability

The crystal structure of Cs3CoBr5 [I4/mcm, a 946(1), c 1504(2) pm, U 1.346(7) nm3, Z 4] has been determined at 4.2 K by single-crystal neutron diffraction methods. The Co-Br bond length is 239.8(2) pm, and the Br-Co-Br angles of the distorted tetrahedral cobalt environment are 107.58(9) and 110.43(9)�. The neutron scattering lengths of cobalt and bromine were found, by least-squares refinement, to be 2.46(2) × 10-15 and 6.78(2) × 10-15 m respectively, relative to a caesium scattering length of 5.38 × 10-l5 m. The contact distances and thermal parameters of Cs3CoBr5, when compared with those from Cs3CoCl5, provide further evidence on the stability of M3CoX5 salts. The metal ion must be sufficiently large to adequately fill the large holes in the lattice whose size is determined by X-...X- contacts.

A new method for the measurement of bound coherent neutron scattering lengths is reported. It is shown that a relative measurement of the neutron scattering length, {\overline b}, of an element can be made by analysis of the neutron correlation function of a suitable oxide crystal powder. For this analysis, it is essential to take into account the average density contribution to the correlation function, as well as the contributions arising from distances between atoms in the crystal. The method is demonstrated and verified by analysis of the neutron correlation function for the corundum form of Al2O3, yielding a value {\overline b} = 3.44 (1) fm for Al, in good agreement with the literature. The method is then applied to the isotopes of iridium, for which the values of the scattering lengths were unknown, and which are difficult to investigate by other methods owing to the large cross sections for the absorption of neutrons. The neutron correlation function of a sample of Sr2IrO4 enriched in 193Ir is used to determine values {\overline b} = 9.71 (18) fm and {\overline b} = 12.1 (9) fm for 193Ir and 191Ir, respectively, and these are consistent with the tabulated scattering length and cross sections of natural Ir. These values are of potential application for obtaining improved neutron diffraction results on iridates by the use of samples enriched in 193Ir, so that the severe absorption problems associated with 191Ir are avoided. Rietveld refinement of the neutron diffraction pattern of isotopically enriched Sr2IrO4 is used to yield a similar result for Ir. However, in practice the Rietveld result is shown to be less reliable because of correlation between the parameters of the fit.

The Stability

Labuntsovite-Fe, an Fe-dominant member of the labuntsovite subgroup, was first discovered in the Khibiny alkaline massif on Mt Kukisvumchorr [Khomyakov et al. (2001). Zap. Vseross. Mineral. Oba, 130, 36–45]. However, no data are published about the crystal structure of this mineral. Labuntsovite-Fe from a peralkaline pegmatite located on Mt Nyorkpakhk, in the Khibiny alkaline complex, Kola Peninsula, Russia, has been investigated by means of electron microprobe analyses, single-crystal X-ray structure refinement, and IR and Raman spectroscopies. Monoclinic unit-cell parameters of labuntsovite-Fe are: a = 14.2584 (4), b = 13.7541 (6), c = 7.7770 (2) Å, β = 116.893 (3)°; V = 1360.22 (9) Å3; space group C2/m. The structure was refined to final R 1 = 0.0467, wR 2 = 0.0715 for 3202 reflections [I > 3σ(I)]. The refined crystal chemical formula is (Z = 2): Na2K2Ba0.7[(Fe0.5Ti0.1Mg0.05)(H2O)1.3]{[Ti2(Ti1.9Nb0.1)(O,OH)4][Si4O12]2}·4H2O. The high-pressure in situ single-crystal X-ray diffraction study of the labuntsovite-Fe has been carried out in a diamond anvil cell. The labuntsovite-type structure is stable up to 23 GPa and phase transitions are not observed. Calculations using the BM3 equation of state resulted in the bulk modulus K = 72 (2) GPa, K′0 = 3.7 (2) and V 0 = 1363 (2) Å3. Compressing of the heteropolyhedral zeolite-like framework leads to the deformation of main structural units. Octahedral rods show the gradual increase of distortion and the wave-like character of rods becomes more distinct. Rod deformations result in the distortion of the silicon–oxygen ring which is not equal in different directions. Structural channels are characterized by a different ellipticity–pressure relationship: the cross-section of the largest channel I and channel II demonstrates the stability of the geometrical characteristics which practically do not depend on pressure: ∊channel I ≃ 0.85 (4) (cross-section is rather regular) and ∊channel II ≃ 0.52 (2) within the whole pressure range. However, channel III is characterized by the increasing of ellipticity with pressure (∊ = 0.40 → 0.10).

Contrast Matching

ABSTRACTNanophase titanium, prepared by the gas-condensation method both as aggregated powder and in lightly compacted discs, has been studied by conventional small angle neutron scattering, and by use of contrast variation methods. The contrast has been changed (a), isotopically, by means of deuterated/protonated solvents distilled into the specimen and (b) by progressive incremental oxidation of the Ti particles using fixed doses of low-pressure oxygen. It was shown that some evolution of the small angle pattern for lightly compacted nanophase Ti occurred over a period of several months at 300 K. Contrast matching by external solvent works well and has allowed the scattering lengths of oxidized and unoxidized specimens to be followed. The results imply that the scattering from metal and oxide can be separated under suitable conditions. The partial oxidation experiments indicate that there is both a fast and slow oxidation at 300 K. Also, during slow oxidation, high scattering length density scattering centers were formed whose number increased, but whose size remained the same at about 2 nm; these centers are tentatively assumed to be TiO2.
