Mixed halides physical properties

In the present article, we will survey the known synthetic procedures to intrazeolite semiconductor QD s and quantum supralattices (QS s this name has been chosen to refer to these structures, since they do not alter the crystallographic unit cell of the host, as the more common name of superlattice would imply). This is followed by two examples from our recent work concerning the I-VII pure and mixed halide system Ag,X-SOD (3) and the VI-VI system n(WC>3)-M56Y (Ozkar, S. Ozin, G.A. /. Phys. Chem., in press.). Some key properties of these materials will be briefly described that relate to QSE s, LFE s, electronic and vibrational coupling between QD s. The paper concludes with a very brief survey of some of the pertinent physics behind these early observations and how they might relate to the NLO properties of these materials. 

Table III lists some of the physical properties of polymers which contain ethylenebis [tris (2-cyanoethyl) phosphonium bromide]. This additive caused an increase in the dissipation factor and dielectric constant and lowered the dielectric strengths of polyethylene and poly (methyl methacrylate). The effects on mechanical properties were mixed. Obviously, lower concentrations of phosphonium halides would have less effect on mechanical and electrical properties. At levels of 1-3% very little change in properties would be expected. It was surprising that the phosphonium salts were compatible with such a range of polymers. We did not observe any tendency for the phosphonium salts to plate out of or exude from the polymer. In all cases homogeneous blends were obtained.

The carbon-halogen bond is slightly polar. Overall, however, an alkyl halide is not much more polar than an alkane, so the physical properties of an alkyl halide are not very different from those of an alkane of similar molecular weight. For example, the boiling point of 1-chlorobutane (MW = 92.5 g/mol) is 78°C, whereas that of hexane (MW = 86 g/mol) is 69°C. In general, alkyl halides are insoluble in water. Because of the presence of the more massive halogen atom, the alkyl halide may be more dense than water. For example, when dichloromethane, a common laboratory solvent, and water are mixed, two layers are formed, with dichloromethane as the lower layer.

Early in their work on molten salt electrolytes for thermal batteries, the Air Force Academy researchers surveyed the aluminum electroplating literature for electrolyte baths that might be suitable for a battery with an aluminum metal anode and chlorine cathode. They found a 1948 patent describing ionicaUy conductive mixtures ofAlCh and 1-ethylpyridinium halides, mainly bromides [6]. Subsequently the salt 1-butylpyridinium chloride -AICI3 (another complicated pseudo-binary) was found to be better behaved than the earlier mixed halide system, so the chemical and physical properties were measured and published [7]. I would mark this as the start of the modern era for ionic liquids, because for the first time a wider audience of chemists started to take interest in these totally ionic, completely nonaqueous new solvents. 

A survey of recent developments in molten salts covers structures, physical properties, uses, and their reactions. Spectroscopic techniques for detecting and identifying complex ions in molten salts are also reviewed, together with the effects of complex ions on the activity, heats of mixing, and other physical properties. The information that can be obtained from Raman and i.r. spectroscopy is emphasized in a further review of molten salts covering types of reaction, ion solvation, and interionic vibrations in nitrates, halides,... 

Closely related to the mixed oxides are the organogermanium alkoxides, which contain the linkage Ge-O-C and may be considered as alkoxide counterparts of the organogermanium halides. Indeed, they may readily be made from such halides by the action of sodium or lithium alkoxides, or by the action of the alcohols themselves if an HCl acceptor such as a tertiary amine also is used. Conversion reactions of organogermanium alkoxides with higher alcohols also are possible. The physical properties of some such alkoxides are given in Table 18. 

In the commercial preparation of phosphors, the highly purified host and the required amount of activator are intimately mixed, normally with a flux, such as an alkaU or alkahne earth halide or phosphate, which suppUes a low-temperature melting phase. The flux controls the particle development and aids in the diffusion of the activator into the lattice. This mixture is then fired at high temperature, 1472-2192° F (800-1200°C) on a prescribed schedule in order to develop the desired physical and luminescent properties.
