Solid-state chemicals

The general subject of solid-state chemical reaction in shock-wave compression, or shock-wave synthesis, has recently become an important part of the... 

The plan of this chapter is first to briefly recall the history of work in solid state chemistry. Following this, the mechanisms that the author proposes control shock-induced solid state chemistry will be considered in terms of shock-induced changes to potential reactants. Enhancements in solid state chemical reactivity are considered in Chap. 7. There are many groups who... 

In this chapter shock modification of powders (their specific area, x-ray diffraction lines, and point defects) measurements via analytical electron microscopy, magnetization and Mossbauer spectroscopy shock activation of catalysis, solution, solid-state chemical reactions, sintering, and structural transformations enhanced solid-state reactivity. 

Fig. 8.1. Shock-induced solid state chemical synthesis of a zinc ferrite has been studied over a wide range of temperature and pressure. The figure shows the location of conditions for which the reaction has been studied.

Intermetallics also represent an ideal system for study of shock-induced solid state chemical synthesis processes. The materials are technologically important such that a large body of literature on their properties is available. Aluminides are a well known class of intermetallics, and nickel aluminides are of particular interest. Reactants of nickel and aluminum give a mixture with powders of significantly different shock impedances, which should lead to large differential particle velocities at constant pressure. Such localized motion should act to mix the reactants. The mixture also involves a low shock viscosity, deformable material, aluminum, with a harder, high shock viscosity material, nickel, which will not flow as well as the aluminum.

The large-scale reproducible manufacture of minute, electronically-stable, single-crystal transistor junctions is a triumph of the elegant techniques of solid-state chemical synthesis. The sequence of steps is illustrated in diagrams (i)-(v). 

The sensitivity of 13C solid-state chemical shifts to small conformational changes is well illustrated by the case of i-PB. Table 1 summarizes some chemical shifts differences for the forms, which have been interpreted in terms of variations of the y-shielding parameter corrected for the deviations, with respect to the exactly G conformations, in the slightly different nearly gauche — nearly trans sequences, characterizing the three crystalline forms of i-PB [116].

While the comparison of the OMTS and the (CH2)12 spectra helped to learn something about the kind of information solid state chemical shifts can provide, we can obtain much more detailed data about the correlation of chemical shifts and the rotational isomeric states from the spectra of larger cycloalkanes. Usually conformational shift variations are discussed by (i) the so called y-gauche effect and (ii) the vicinal gauche effect, Vg 15) ... 

The difficulty in proving the exact nature of prethermal reactions is that they occur too fast for standard solid-state chemical methods. One attractive idea was expressed by Harbottle 29), namely that, if a strong isotope effect is shown, very little subsequent chemical influence can have been felt and the observed species must have been formed by prethermal processes. The supposition here is that isotopic differences come only from differences in the nuclear deexcitation pattern (total energy, y-ray cascades, angular...

As holds for other cluster systems, certain magic cluster electron counts exist, which indicates for a certain cluster-halide ratio and interstitial present the filling of all bonding molecular orbitals and therefore the thermodynamically most stable situation. For main group interstitial atoms these are 14 cluster-based electrons whereas for transition-metal interstitials the magic number is 18 [1, 10-12]. All of these phases are synthesized by high-temperature solid-state chemical methods. A remarkable variety of different structure types has been...

The antimony oxide/organohalogen synergism in flame retardant additives has been the subject of considerable research and discussion over the past twenty-five years (1-17). In addition to antimony oxide, a variety of bismuth compounds and molybdenum oxide have been the subject of similar studies (18-20). Despite this intensive investigation, relatively little has been conclusively established about the solid state chemical mechanisms of the metal component volatilization, except in those cases where the organohalogen component is capable of undergoing extensive intramolecular dehydrohalogenation.

This model for the system CaC03 MgC03 applies only for ideal ordering of Mg and Ca ions in the dolomite structure. Ideal ordering occurs only in precipitates of dolomite formed at temperatures above about 250°C. Studies in the laboratory (52) show that dolomitization (the development of ordering in the Mg and Ca distribution in the calcite structure) is a very slow process at ordinary temperatures. Therefore, a solid-state chemical model more applicable to precipitated dolomites is ...
