Red lead is insoluble in water. Like lead(II) oxide it can readily be reduced to lead. The structure of the solid, as the systematic name suggests, consists of two interpenetrating oxide structures, in which each Pb atom is surrounded octahedrally by six oxygen atoms, and each Pb" by three (pyramidal) oxygen atoms, the oxygen atoms being shared between these two units of structure. With dilute nitric acid the lead(ll) part dissolves, and the lead(IV) part precipitates as lead(IV) oxide ... 

The measures of solid state reactivity to be described include experiments on solid-gas, solid-liquid, and solid-solid chemical reaction, solid-solid structural transitions, and hot pressing-sintering in the solid state. These conditions are achieved in catalytic activity measurements of rutile and zinc oxide, in studies of the dissolution of silicon nitride and rutile, the reaction of lead oxide and zirconia to form lead zirconate, the monoclinic to tetragonal transformation in zirconia, the theta-to-alpha transformation in alumina, and the hot pressing of aluminum nitride and aluminum oxide. 

When specimens of pure lead and a 5% antimony alloy were periodically oxidized and reduced, lead oxide layers were observed with different structures ... 

Alkaline earth oxides (AEO = MgO, CaO, and SrO) doped with 5 mol% Nd203 have been synthesised either by evaporation of nitrate solutions and decomposition, or by sol-gel method. The samples have been characterised by chemical analysis, specific surface area measurement, XRD, CO2-TPD, and FTIR spectroscopy. Their catalytic properties in propane oxidative dehydrogenation have been studied. According to detailed XRD analyses, solid solution formation took place, leading to structural defects which were agglomerated or dispersed, their relative amounts depending on the preparation procedure and on the alkaline-earth ion size match with Nd3+. Relationships between catalyst synthesis conditions, lattice defects, basicity of the solids and catalytic performance are discussed. 

I shall take the simple view that most metal oxide structures are derivatives of a closest packed 02 lattice with the metal ions occupying tetrahedral or octahedral holes in a manner which is principally determined by size, charge (and hence stoichiometry) and d configuration (Jj). The presence of d electrons can lead to pronounced crystal field effects or metal-metal bonding. The latter can lead to clustering of metal atoms within the lattice with large distortions from idealized (ionic) geometries. 

The structure of skeletal catalysts is so fine that electron microscopes are required for sufficient resolution. The use of a focussed ion beam (FIB) miller has enabled a skeletal copper catalyst to be sliced open under vacuum and the internal structure to be imaged directly [61], Slicing the catalyst enabled viewing beyond the obscuring oxide layer on the surface. A uniform, three-dimensional structure of fine copper ligaments was observed [61], which differed from the leading inferred structure at the time of parallel curved rods [54],... 

The parameters of treatment were chosen since these led to the most pronounced changes of polymer surface in our previous experiments [70-74]. It was observed elsewhere that plasma treatment of polymer macromolecules results in their cleavage, ablation, alterations of chemical structure and thus affects surface properties e g. solubility [75]. The chemical structure of modified polyethylene (PE) was characterized by FTIR and XPS spectroscopy. Exposition to discharge leads to cleavage of polymeric chains and C-H bonds followed by generation of free radicals which easily oxidize [10,76]. By FTIR spectroscopy the presence of new oxidized structures within whole specimen volume can be detected. IR spectra in the 1710-1745 cm" interval [71,77] from PE, exposed to... 

Nevertheless, we recall that, in alkaline solutions, the silanol groups are partly dissociated into —Si—0 anionic sites owing to their acido-basic character. As a result, this oxide structure is loose and is permeable to water molecules and chemical reactants, so that the reaction can proceed by diffusion through the layer and lead to a uniform protecting layer. The acido-basic character is well demonstrated by the transformation operated by dipping the oxidized sample in an acidic HCl solution. The polarization resistance, which was equal to a few 10 f2 cm, suddenly is...
