Metal in molten alkali

The most convenient route to M6Yi2 2+ clusters of niobium and tantalum is the conproportionation of the pentahalides NbY5 and TaY5 (Y = Cl, Br) with excess of the metal in molten alkali halide ... [Pg.25]

The solubility of alkaline earth metals in molten alkali metals is limited. The elements of the third group of the periodic table of elements are still less soluble in alkali metals, only the aluminium-lithium system is an exception. This system contains two intermetallic phases, LiAl and the peritectic phase Li9Al4, and solid alloys of both metals are of technical importance. The metals of the fourth group have a better solubility in alkali metals. They tend to form intermetallics. Some of the liquid alloys have found technical interest. [Pg.150]
