Stability range

The dotted lines represent the cases when the above cathodic reactions, (a) or (b), drive the reaction. The solid lines indicate the stability ranges for Fe and its corrosion products (Fe, Fe, Fe O, Fc202, tthcOT).

In general, increasing the temperature within the stability range of a single crystal structure modification leads to a smooth change in all three parameters of vibration spectra frequency, half-width and intensity. The dependency of the frequency (wave number) on the temperature is usually related to variations in bond lengths and force constants [370] the half-width of the band represents parameters of the particles Brownian motion [371] and the intensity of the bands is related to characteristics of the chemical bonds [372]. 

The electrochemical stability range determines the usefulness of nonaqueous electrolytes for electrochemical studies as well as for applications. It indicates the absence of electrochemical oxidation or reduction of solvent or ions, and of faradaic current... 

However, even if electrolytes have sufficiently large voltage windows, their components may not be stable (at least ki-netically) with lithium metal for example, acetonitrile shows very large voltage windows with various salts, but is polymerized at deposited lithium if this reaction is not suppressed by additives, such as S02 which forms a protective ionically conductive layer on the lithium surface. Nonetheless, electrochemical stability ranges from CV experiments may be used to choose useful electrolytes. 

It is worth mentioning that the use of microelectrodes allows the investigation of the electrochemical stability range of solvents without addition of a salt [138J. These studies make it possible to discrimi-...

Comparison of stability limits of low-temperature molten salts and lithium salts with a common anion shows the influence of the solvent, which limits the anodic stability range of solutions based on LiMe or Lilm. The 1,2-dimethyl-3-propylimidazolium methide... 

The third aspect, the stability range of solid electrolytes, is of special concern for alkaline-ion conductors since only a few compounds show thermodynamic stability with, e.g., elemental lithium. Designing solid electrolytes by considering thermodynamic stability did lead to very interesting compounds and the discovery of promising new solid electrolytes such as the lithium nitride halides [27]. However, since solid-state reactions may proceed very slowly at low temperature, metasta-... 

The phase diagram for the Sr-Au system shows three congruently melting phases, /3-SrAu (970°C), SrAu2 (1085°C) and SrAu, (1040°C) four phases formed in peritectic reactions are also observed, Sr Au (640°C), SrjAu (590°C), y-Srj Au (750°C) and 5-Sr,Au2, which has a limited stability range from the eutectoid (725°C) to the peritectic reaction (770°C). Independent structural investigations confirm the forma-... 

C/pB estimated by both electrical (Mott-Schottky) and optical (photocurrent voltammetry) methods in the media studied, for (11 l)-oriented ZnSe electrode surfaces. A different variation was observed for the (110) orientation at pH >6. At pH 0, for both (110) or (11 l)-oriented electrode surface, the flat band potential value was -1.65 V (SHE) and the measured potential stability range (no detected current) was -0.35 to +2.65 V (SHE). A comparison of band levels with the other II-VI compounds as well as decomposition levels of ZnSe is given in Fig. 5.6.

The insertion of the oxygen atoms widens the silicon lattice considerably. A relatively large void remains in each of the four vacant octants of the unit cell. In natural cristobalite they usually contain foreign ions (mainly alkali and alkaline earth metal ions) that probably stabilize the structure and allow the crystallization of this modification at temperatures far below the stability range of pure cristobalite. To conserve electrical neutrality, probably one Si atom per alkali metal ion is substituted by an A1 atom. The substitution of Si... 

Acetic anhydride, Organic materials, Transition metals Hikita, T. et al., J. Chem. Soc. Japan, Ind. Chem. Sect., 1951, 54, 253-255 The stability ranges of mixtures of the acid, anhydride and organic materials (ethanol, gelatine) used in electropolishing were studied. Presence of transition metals (chromium, iron, nickel) increases the possibility of explosion. (This is why such mixtures must not be stored after use for etching metals.)... 

Methylene cyclopropene (5), the simplest triafulvene, is predicted to be of very low stability. From different MO calculations5 it has been estimated to possess only minor resonance stabilization ranging to 1 j3. Its high index of free valency4 at the exocyclic carbon atom causes an extreme tendency to polymerize, a process favored additionally by release of strain. Thus it is not surprising that only one attempt to prepare this elusive C4H4-hydrocarbon can be found in the literature. Photolysis and flash vacuum pyrolysis of cis-l-methylene-cyclopropene-2,3-dicarboxylic anhydride (58), however, did not yield methylene cyclopropene, but only vinyl acetylene as its (formal) product of isomerization in addition to small amounts of acetylene and methyl acetylene65 ...
