Amorphous aqueous solutions

Amorphous boron and the amphoteric elements, aluminium and gallium, are attacked by aqueous solutions of sodium hydroxide and... 

It is marketed as a 35-40 per cent, solution in water (formalin). The rpactions of formaldehyde are partly typical of aldehydes and partly peculiar to itself. By evaporating an aqueous solution paraformaldehyde or paraform (CHjO), an amorphous white solid is produced it is insoluble in most solvents. When formaldehyde is distilled from a 60 per cent, solution containing 2 per cent, of sulphuric acid, it pol5unerises to a crystalline trimeride, trioxane, which can be extracted with methylene chloride this is crystalline (m.p. 62°, b.p. 115°), readily soluble in water, alcohol and ether, and devoid of aldehydic properties ... 

Cane sugar is generally available ia one of two forms crystalline solid or aqueous solution, and occasionally ia an amorphous or microcrystalline glassy form. Microcrystalline is here defined as crystals too small to show stmcture on x-ray diffraction. The melting poiat of sucrose (anhydrous) is usually stated as 186°C, although, because this property depends on the purity of the sucrose crystal, values up to 192°C have been reported. Sucrose crystallines as an anhydrous, monoclinic crystal, belonging to space group P2 (2). 

Only about 10 elements, ie, Cr, Ni, Zn, Sn, In, Ag, Cd, Au, Pb, and Rh, are commercially deposited from aqueous solutions, though alloy deposition such as Cu—Zn (brass), Cu—Sn (bronze), Pb—Sn (solder), Au—Co, Sn—Ni, and Ni—Fe (permalloy) raise this number somewhat. In addition, 10—15 other elements are electrodeposited ia small-scale specialty appHcations. Typically, electrodeposited materials are crystalline, but amorphous metal alloys may also be deposited. One such amorphous alloy is Ni—Cr—P. In some cases, chemical compounds can be electrodeposited at the cathode. For example, black chrome and black molybdenum electrodeposits, both metal oxide particles ia a metallic matrix, are used for decorative purposes and as selective solar thermal absorbers (19). 

In general, hydrated borates of heavy metals ate prepared by mixing aqueous solutions or suspensions of the metal oxides, sulfates, or halides and boric acid or alkali metal borates such as borax. The precipitates formed from basic solutions are often sparingly-soluble amorphous soHds having variable compositions. Crystalline products are generally obtained from slightly acidic solutions. 

The powder contains 2inc oxide and magnesium oxide (36), and the Hquid contains an aqueous solution of an acryHc polycarboxyHc acid. Water settable cements have been formulated by inclusion of the soHd polyacid in the powdered base component. The set cement mainly consists of partially reacted and unreacted 2inc oxides in an amorphous polycarboxylate matrix (27,28). 

Dihydrostreptomycin sesquisulfate [5490-27-7] M 461.4, m 250 (dec), 255-265 (dec), [a]p -92.4 (c 1, H2O), pKgsJd)-- 9.5 (NMe), pKes,(2,3) 13.4 (guanidino). It crystallises from H2O with MeOH, -BuOH or methyl ethyl ketone. The crystals are not hygroscopic like the amorphous powder, however both forms are soluble in H2O but the amorphous solid is about 10 times more soluble than the crystals. The free base also crystallises from H20-Me2C0 and has [a]p -92° (aqueous solution pH 7.0). [Solomons and Regina Science 109 515 7949 Wolf et al.

Hydrolysis of Pb" salts leads to different structures, p. 395.) It seems unlikely that pure Sn(OH)2 itself has ever been prepared from aqueous solutions but it can be obtained as a white, amorphous solid by an anhydrous organometallic method ... 

Polymetatelluric acid (H2TeO4). ]0 is a white, amorphous hygroscopic powder formed by incomplete dehydration of HgTeOg in air at 160°. Alternatively, in aqueous solution... 

The reaction product mixture is a homogenous solution having a pH of about 6. It is evaporated under vacuum to a semisolid residue. To the residue are added 35 ml of water and a few drops of triethylamine to raise the pH to 8. The aqueous solution obtained thereby is extracted successively with 50 ml and 35 ml portions of ethyl acetate, the pH being adjusted to 2 at each extraction with hydrochloric acid. The extracts are combined, filtered, dried over sodium sulfate, stripped of solvent, and evaporated under vacuum. The product is 7-(N-carbobenzoxy-D-o -aminophenylacetamido)cephalosporanic acid in the form of a yellow-white amorphous solid weighing 1.10 g. 

A mixture consisting of 8 grams of estriol, 20 grams of succinic acid anhydride and 60 ml of pyridine is heated at 90 C for 4 hours, after which the reaction mixture is poured into water. The aqueous solution is extracted with ether, the ether layer is separated, washed with diluted sulfuric acid and after that with water until neutral, then evaporated to dryness to obtain 14 grams of an amorphous substance. Melting point 82° to 86°C. This drying residue proves to consist of a mixture of estriol disuccinate and estriol monosuccinate, which are separated by repeated crystallization from a mixture of methanol and water. 

To 50 cc of a carefully purified aqueous solution of the sodium salt of N(7-chloromercuri-)3-methoxy-propyl)-d-a-camphoramic acid containing 40 mg of mercury per cc is added 10 cc of a solution containing 1.14 g (1 mol equivalent) of sodium thioglycollate and the mixture is then evaporated to dryness at room temperature and reduced pressure in the presence of a desiccant. The product is an amorphous white powder which decomposes at 156° to 158°C (uncorr,), and which was found on analysis to have a mercury content of 33.0%, according to U.S. Patent 2,576,349. 

Little information exists on low-T precipitation of borides from solution. Chromium, cobalt and platinum borides are the only ones claimed to have been obtained from aqueous solution ". Ni2B and C02B are precipitated from a solution of nickel or cobalt acetates by adding a solution of sodium tetrahydroborate ". The formation of these borides at RT gives amorphous products. Hence, heat treatment at 300-700°C leads to crystalline NijB as the main constituent, although the average composition of the precipitate corresponds to NijB .
