ABSTRACTLithium solid electrolyte with NASICON structure in the form of Li1+2xAlxTi2−xSixP3−xO12 solid solution has been prepared by high temperature solid state reaction using low cost kaolin as the starting material. The crystal structure of the solid solution was investigated by powder X-ray diffraction. The AC impedance measurements indicate that ionic conductivity increased by more than one order of magnitude when a small amount of Al3+ and Si4+ ions were incorporated into the LiTi2(PO4)3 crystal structure. The significant improvement on ionic conductivity can be attributed to the increased interstitial Li+ ions in the crystal structure. The highest ionic conductivity was found in Li1.2Al0.1Ti1.9Si0.1P2.9O12: 8.3 x 10-5 S·cm-1 at room temperature (21°C) and 1.5 x 10-3 S·cm-1 at 100°C.

The crystal structure of several compounds of Ca1−xSrxZr4(PO4)6 ceramics has been investigated by X-ray powder diffraction at room temperature. All compounds form a solid solution with a unique unit cell. While the lattice parameter a of the hexagonal unit cell decreases of about 0.9% with increasing Sr content only slightly, it considerably elongates in c direction (2.8%). No structural transformation has been observed by high-temperature X-ray diffraction up to 1000 °C.

N,N′,N″,N‴-Tetraisopropylpyrophosphoramide 1 is a pyrophosphoramide with documented butyrylcholinesterase inhibition, a property shared with the more widely studied octamethylphosphoramide (Schradan). Unlike Schradan, 1 is a solid at room temperature making it one of a few known pyrophosphoramide solids. The crystal structure of 1 was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and compared with that of other previously described solid pyrophosphoramides. The pyrophosphoramide discussed in this study was synthesised by reacting iso-propyl amine with pyrophosphoryl tetrachloride under anhydrous conditions. A unique supramolecular motif was observed when compared with previously published pyrophosphoramide structures having two different intermolecular hydrogen bonding synthons. Furthermore, the potential of a wider variety of supramolecular structures in which similar pyrophosphoramides can crystallise was recognised. Proton (1H) and Phosphorus 31 (31P) Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, infrared (IR) spectroscopy, mass spectrometry (MS) were carried out to complete the analysis of the compound.

ABSTRACTWe report here the results of our study on the properties of iodine-doped C60 thin films by IR and optical absorption, X-ray diffraction, and electrical conductivity measurements. The results show that there is no apparent structural change in the iodine-doped samples at room temperature in comparison with that of the undoped films. However, in the electrical conductivity measurements, an increase of more that one order of magnitude in the room temperature conductivity has been observed in the iodine-doped samples. In addition, while the conductivity of the undoped films shows thermally activated temperature dependence, the conductivity of the iodine-doped films was found to be constant over a fairly wide temperature range (from 20°C to 70°C) exhibiting a metallic feature.

Wear-resistant Cu-based solid-solution-toughened Cr5Si3/CrSi metal silicide alloy with a microstructure consisting of predominantly the dual-phase primary dendrites with a Cr5Si3 core encapsulated by CrSi phase and a small amount of interdendritic Cu-based solid solution (Cuss) was designed and fabricated by the laser melting process using Cr–Si–Cu elemental powder blends as the precursor materials. The microstructure of the Cuss-toughened Cr5Si3/CrSi metal silicide alloy was characterized by optical microscopy, powder x-ray diffraction, and energy dispersive spectroscopy. The Cuss-toughened silicide alloys have excellent wear resistance and low coefficient of friction under room temperature dry sliding wear test conditions with hardened 0.45% C carbon steel as the sliding–mating counterpart.

The crystal structure of zirconium trichloride was determined from X-ray diffraction patterns. Zirconium trichloride belongs to the [Formula: see text]space group. The dimensions of the main cell at room temperature are: a = 5.961 ± 0.005 Å and c = 9.669 ± 0.005 Å.The density of zirconium trichloride was measured and gave the value of 2.281 ± 0.075 g/cm3 while, from the X-ray calculations, the value was found to be 2.205 g/cm3.

The crystal structure and thermal properties of the [Formula: see text] compound have been investigated. Structural studies were performed by X-ray diffraction at room temperature. The crystal structure of this compound was found to correspond to the hexagonal symmetry of the space group P61. Thermal properties were studied using a differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). It was found in the temperature range [Formula: see text] that thermal effects occur at temperatures [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. The thermodynamic parameters of these effects are calculated.

The exhaustive hydroboration of the (C ≡ C )-groups in Me2Si(C ≡ CMe)2 (A ) by adding ethyldiboranes(6) at room temperature is presumed to lead initially to the formation of a mixture of the threo- and erythro-3,3,5,6-tetrakis(diethylboryl)-4,4-dimethyl-4-silaheptanes (1a , b). The threo-1a reacts further by borane catalysed intermolecular condensation to the substituted disilatetraboratricyclo[6.2.1.16.9]dodecane 2 with the formula , whose crystal structure [space group C2/c, a = 19.696(2), b = 10.371(1), c = 16.580(2) Å; β = 125.90(1)°; at 122 K] has been established by X -ray diffraction. In contrast, the erythro-1b undergoes intramolecular, thermal elimination of Et3B to give the 1,2-diethyl-2,4-bis(diethylboryl)- 3,3,5-trim ethyl-3-silaborolane (4). If A is added to an excess of undiluted B (“hydridebath”), then the two substituted diastereomers of the 1-carba-arachno-pentaboranes(10) (endo/exo-Et,SiH Me2) (3a, b), are formed preferentially as the result of an initial Si-C ≡-c le a v e d hydroboration.

AbstractThe crystal structure and compositional limits of the ternary compound Pt2FeCu (tulameenite), formed either by quenching from above the critical temperature of 1178°C or by slow cooling, have been investigated using X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, differential thermal analysis and electron probe microanalysis.The crystal structure of Pt2FeCu, established using electron density maps constructed from the measured and calculated intensities of X-ray diffraction patterns of powdered specimens, has the (000) and (½½0) lattice sites occupied by Pt atoms and the (½0½) and (0½½) sites occupied by either Cu or Fe atoms in a random manner. The resulting face-centred tetragonal structure undergoes a disordering transformation at the critical temperature to a postulated non-quenchable face-centred cubic structure. Stresses on quenching, arising from the ordering reaction, are relieved by twinning along {101} planes or by recrystallization along with deformation twinning; always involving grain boundary fracturing.Phase relations in the system Pt-Fe-Cu have been investigated through the construction of isothermal sections at 1000 and 600°C. At 1000°C there is an extensive single phase region of solid solution around Pt2FeCu and extending to the binary composition PtFe. At 600°C the composition Pt2FeCu lies just outside this now reduced area of solid solution in a two-phase field. Comparison of the experimental results with data for tulameenite suggests that some observed compositions may be metastably preserved. The occurrence of fine veinlets of silicate or other gangue minerals in tulameenite is suggested to result from grain boundary fracturing on cooling below the critical temperature of 1178°C and to be evidence of a magmatic origin.

AbstractAn array of molecules that is anisotropic in the extreme has been discovered in certain thermal-energy storage materials and is reported here: neopentylglycol (NPG) and NPG-rich solid solutions with pentaglycerine (PG) have a crystal structure, stable at room temperature, that consists of bimolecular chains of molecules that are all unidirectionally aligned throughout a crystal. There are hydrogen bonds between every molecule in one chain and its neighbors in that chain, but none between molecules of one chain and any molecules of the neighboring parallel chains. Thus there are strong intermolecular bonds along each chain and only weaker bonds between the chains. The structure has been determined by using modern single crystal techniques with 529 independent reflections from a crystal of NPG (C5H12O2). The structure is monoclinic with space group P21/c - C2h5. This anisotropic structure transforms to a cubic structure at higher temperatures.
