scholarly journals The crystal structures of two polyamides (‘nylons’)

Detailed interpretations of the X -ray diffraction patterns of fibres and sheets of 66 and 6.10 polyamides (polyhexam ethylene adipamide and sebacamide respectively) are proposed. The crystal structures of the two substances are completely analogous. Fibres of these two polyam ides usually contain two different crystalline forms, α and β, which are different packings of geometrically similar molecules; most fibres consist chiefly of the α form. In the case of the 66 polymer, fibres have been obtained in which there is no detectable proportion of the β form. Unit cell dimensions and the indices of reflexions for the α form were determined by trial, using normal fibre photographs, and were checked by using doubly oriented sheets set at different angles to the X -ray beam. The unit cell of the a form is triclinic, with a — 4·9 A, b = 5·4 A, c (fibre axis) = 17·2A, α = 48 1/2º, β = 77º, γ = 63 1/2º for the 66 polymer; a = 4·95A, b = 5·4A, c (fibre axes) = 22·4A, α = 49º, β = 76 1/2º, γ = 63 1/2º for the 6.10 polymer. One chain molecule passes through the cell in both cases. Atomic coordinates in occrystals were determined by interpretation of the relative intensities of the reflexions. The chains are planar or very nearly so; the oxygen atoms appear to lie a little off the plane of the chain. The molecules are linked by hydrogen bonds between C = 0 and NH groups, to form sheets. A simple packing of these sheets of molecules gives the α arrangement.

X-Ray powder diffraction patterns have been recorded for the alkali dithionates and for barium and ammonium dithionate. The patterns have been indexed and unit cell dimensions determined for lithium dithionate dihydrate, sodium dithionate (anhydrous), and rubidium dithionate. Previously determined cell dimensions have been confirmed in other cases.

The adsorption of liquids in 2eolites has been a widely studied phenomenon, and with the development of ZSM-5, considerable work has been carried out on this zeolite, However, few articles have been published dealing with changes in the X-ray diffraction patterns when the zeolite pores contain adsorbed molecules. The purpose of this paper is to report changes in the X-ray diffraction pattern of ZSM-5 after mixing it with various organic solvents.This work began after studies of both deactivated and partially deactivated ZSM-5 catalysts showed that their X-ray diffraction patterns changed in intensities and peak positions after use in microreactor studies. If coke or hydrocarbons were causing the above changes, as postulated, would hydrocarbons adsorbed in ZSM-5 produce the same changes? Simpson and Steinfink showed that the low-angle lines of faujasite decreased in intensity after the adsorption of m-dichlorobenzene.

AT the time when the hydrated aluminium phosphate-sulphate hotsonite (Beukes et al., 1984a) and its equally rare relative zaherite (Beukes et al., 1984b; De Bruiyn et al., 1985) were discovered near Pofadder, South Africa, very little was known about the unit cells of the other two hydrated aluminium phosphate-sulphate minerals sanjuanite and kribergite, originally described by De Abeledo et al. (1968) from Argentina and Sweden, respectively. Although the Powder Diffraction file (PDF) contains the X-ray diffraction patterns for sanjuanite and kribergite (PDF 20-47 and 20-48 respectively), they had not been indexed nor have their unit cell parameters been calculated thus far.

A new Nasicon phosphates series [Na3+xCr2−xCox(PO4)3(0⩽x⩽1)] was synthesized by a coprecipitation method and structurally characterized by powder X-ray diffraction. The selected compound Na3.5Cr1.5Co0.5(PO4)3 (x=0.5) crystallizes in the R3c space group with the following hexagonal unit-cell dimensions: ah=8.7285(3) Å, ch=21.580(2) Å, V=1423.8(1) Å3, and Z=6. This three-dimensional framework is built of PO4 tetrahedra and Cr∕CoO6 octahedra sharing corners. Na atoms occupy totally M(1) sites and partially M(2) sites.

Four basic lead carbonates were prepared and identified by X-ray powder diffractometry. These were hydrocerussite (Pb3(OH)2(CO3)2), plumbonacrite (Pb10O(OH)6(CO3)6), and the two adducts MOH•2PbCO3 (M = Na, K). New diffraction data are presented for the latter two compounds; they both have primitive hexagonal lattices with two formula units per unit cell. The unit cell dimensions of the sodium and potassium compounds are a = 5.273 ± 0.002 Å, c = 13.448 ± 0.005 Å and a = 5.348 ± 0.002 Å, c = 13.990 ± 0.005 Å, respectively. Six possible space groups are discussed.Raman and infrared spectra are reported for all four compounds, and compared with those of cerussite (PbCO3); assignment of the spectral features is discussed. Vibrational spectra of the two MOH adducts indicate that they are isostructural, and that the structure contains a well-defined lead sub-lattice, consistent with the X-ray data. The spectra of hydrocerussite and plumbonacrite indicate that lead is present as oxygen-bridged polymeric moieties in these solids. The carbonate ions occupy two and three independent sites in hydrocerussite and plumbonacrite, respectively.

Chemical preparation, thermal behavior, and IR studies are given for the diphosphate Cr4(P2O7)3.28H2O and its anhydrous form Cr4(P2O7)3. Cr4(P2O7)3.28H2O, is monoclinic P2/m with the following unit-cell dimensions : a = 16.169(1)Å, b = 9.336(5)Å, c = 9.446(4)Å, β = 124.796(5)°, and Z = 4. The total dehydration of Cr4(P2O7)3.28H2O, between 90°C and 450°C, leads to its anhydrous form, Cr4(P2O7)3. Cr4(P2O7)3 is isotopic to V4(P2O7)3, crystallizing in the orthorhombic system, space group Pmcn, Z = 4 with the following unit-cell dimensions: a = 7.25(2), b = 9.38(1)Å and c = 21.00(4)Å. Cr4(P2O7)3 is stable until its melting point at 1050°C. The thermal behavior of Cr4(P2O7)3.28H2O has been investigated and interpreted by comparison with IR absorption spectrometry and X-ray diffraction experiments.

The structures of polycrystalline Ca3RE2(BO3)4 (RE = La, Pr, Nd, Sm, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Y; space group Pnma) orthoborates were determined using powder X-ray diffraction. Trends in the unit-cell dimensions and yet unreported trends in other structural properties (interatomic distances and the fractional occupation of three Ca/RE sites) for these compounds are demonstrated as a function of RE ionic radius. The unit-cell volume and a unit-cell parameter present a linear dependence, while the b and c unit-cell parameters change in a nonlinear manner. For the whole series, the RE atoms are present at all three cationic sites (labelled as M1, M2 and M3), but the fractional occupancies depend on the RE ionic radius. The small rare-earth atoms tend to enter mainly the M3 site; for the larger rare earths, the occupancy of this site decreases sharply. The occupancy of the M1 site by RE atoms is around 0.5 and tends to increase with increasing RE ionic radius. The M2 site is the least preferentially occupied by RE ions, but the occupancy discernibly increases with rising radius as well. These findings are assembled with properties of isostructural strontium and barium borates, allowing prediction of occupancy schemes for not yet investigated compounds from the A 3RE2(BO3)4 (A = Ca, Ba, Sr).

AbstractThe salts of hydrazine or methyl derivatives of hydrazine were prepared by neutralization of the base with inorganic acids, for instance, HBF4, HClO4, H SO4, and HCl. Upon recrystallization of the product from a suitable solvent, X-ray diffraction patterns were obtained. Hydrazine tetrafluoborate H2N-NH2·HBF4 was found to crystallize in the monoclinic system. Cell dimensions and possible space groups were determined. The corresponding perchlorate salt crystallizes in two forms, one of which is isomorphous with hydrazine tetrafluoborate. The second form seems to be stabilized by small amounts of water.The tetrafluoborate salt was prepared from the 1,1-dimethyl hydrazine. It was found to crystallize in the tetragonal system with a primitive unit cell. The perchlorate salt of this base is isomorphous with the fluoborate but with a slightly larger unit cell. Both materials undergo plastic-like deformation. The general appearance and mechanical properties are similar to those of a hydrocarbon wax. The 1,1-dimethyl hydrazine sulfate and the 1,1-dimethyl hydrazine hydrochloride have a lower symmetry than the HBF4 salt and do not show the wax-like properties of the latter. Based on the study of these chemically related compounds an explanation is offered for the properties of 1,1-dimethyl hydrazine tetrafluoborate in terms of crystalline structure.
