Solids atomic structure

Figure 4.5. Atomic Structure of Glass vs. Crystalline-Solid Atomic Structure.

The three-dimensional synnnetry that is present in the bulk of a crystalline solid is abruptly lost at the surface. In order to minimize the surface energy, the themiodynamically stable surface atomic structures of many materials differ considerably from the structure of the bulk. These materials are still crystalline at the surface, in that one can define a two-dimensional surface unit cell parallel to the surface, but the atomic positions in the unit cell differ from those of the bulk structure. Such a change in the local structure at the surface is called a reconstruction.

Processes in which solids play a rate-determining role have as their principal kinetic factors the existence of chemical potential gradients, and diffusive mass and heat transfer in materials with rigid structures. The atomic structures of the phases involved in any process and their thermodynamic stabilities have important effects on drese properties, since they result from tire distribution of electrons and ions during tire process. In metallic phases it is the diffusive and thermal capacities of the ion cores which are prevalent, the electrons determining the thermal conduction, whereas it is the ionic charge and the valencies of tire species involved in iron-metallic systems which are important in the diffusive and the electronic behaviour of these solids, especially in the case of variable valency ions, while the ions determine the rate of heat conduction. 

Fig. 7.7. Solid-solution structures. In interstitial solutions small atoms fit into the spaces between large atoms. In substitutional solutions similarly sized atoms replace one another. If A-A, A-B and B-B bonds hove the some strength then this replacement is random. But unequal bond strengths con give clustering or ordering.

Hie solid-state structure of Cu2Li2Pb4iDMS) is closely related to tliat observ ed for Cu2Li2Pb4iOEt2)2, except tliat one of tlie litliium atoms bete is now four-coordinate as a result of coordination of two DMS molecides [114]. Hiis observation shows tliat even slight clianges in tlie coordinating properties of donor solvent molecules may cliange tlie overall structure of tlie cuprate.

Structures 5 and 6 display the solid state structures of two representative distibine and dibismuthine adducts. The ligands bound to the central Sb and Bi atoms adopt a staggered conformation in relation to one another, with the bulky M(t-Bu)3 groups arranged in a trans-position. This is likely due to repulsive steric interactions. The central Sb—Sb [281.1(1) 32 283.9(1) pm 35] and Bi—Bi bond distances [298.3(1) 36 and 298.4(1) pm 37] are almost unchanged compared to the uncomplexed distibines and dibismuthines, as can be seen... 

Abstract Inorganic polysulfide anions and the related radical anions S play an important role in the redox reactions of elemental sulfur and therefore also in the geobio chemical sulfur cycle. This chapter describes the preparation of the solid polysulfides with up to eight sulfur atoms and univalent cations, as well as their solid state structures, vibrational spectra and their behavior in aqueous and non-aqueous solutions. In addition, the highly colored and reactive radical anions S with n = 2, 3, and 6 are discussed, some of which exist in equilibrium with the corresponding diamagnetic dianions.
