For the designed experimental procedure, the optimized reaction conditions were estimated as a reaction temperature of 950 °C, reaction time of 240 min, argon atmosphere and Cu:B ratio of 1:5. The possible reaction mechanism estimated for both boron sources of boric acid and boron oxide. In both sets, the lower ratios of Cu:B supported CuB2O4 formation. In the use of boric acid as a boron source, higher reaction yield percentages (98 %) and lower particle sizes were determined. The micron-scale rounded particles were observed in morphological analyses and the particles were shaped in homogeneity in the use of boron oxide as a boron source. The specific FT-IR peaks were observed at the band values of 1190, 1035, 988, 945, 890, 695, 631, 540 and 479 cm−1. The experimental results highlighted the probable use of solid-state in the copper borate synthesis.","PeriodicalId":48676,"journal":{"name":"Zeitschrift Fur Kristallographie-Crystalline Materials","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2023-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48662542","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The hexagonal single crystals about 1 mm with high-quality were obtained with this method for the first time. The crystals were of sufficiently good quality for the precision X-ray structural investigation. The compounds crystallize in usual for this structural type trigonal space group R3c. Presence of hydrogen atom in the structure was confirmed by means of infra-red (IR) spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and differential thermogravimetry (DTG) methods. Based on the analysis of the local bond valence sum (BVS), a conclusion on the localization of H atoms was made. The formation of O–H groups and hydrogen bonds H⋯O in vicinity of PO4 tetrahedra was shown and similar to bone whitlockite. This research provides new data on possibility of using hydrothermal technique for obtaining doped bone whitlockites.

One previously proposed group is referred to here as vacancy variants of the W-type structure. Members of this group, may, however, not be easily recognized because of the structural irregularity introduced by the vacancies. Descriptions of the experimentally observed crystal structures of Ni3Sn4 and FeAl2 in terms of vacancy variants of the W-type structure are, respectively, derived by establishing a lattice correspondence with the W-type structure, allowing, in particular, identification of the vacant sites. In both cases only small deviatoric strains are required to obtain the experimentally encountered lattice parameters, and generally small atomic displacements occur from the ideal positions, thus demonstrating significance of the lattice correspondence. The lattice correspondences allow, for both Ni3Sn4 and FeAl2, relating reported microstructure evidence (directions/planes occurring in orientation relationships and crystal habits but also on twinning and slip) with such typical for metals and solid solutions with W-type (“bcc”) structures. This demonstrates that the established lattice correspondences have a significance going beyond a descriptive one, but the underlying W-type structures reveal themselves in the materials’ behavior.","PeriodicalId":48676,"journal":{"name":"Zeitschrift Fur Kristallographie-Crystalline Materials","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49636937","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In a previous work [Bismayer U., Srilomsak S., Treekamol Y., Tanthanuch W., Suriyatham K. Artefacts from Ban Chiang, Thailand: pottery with hematite-red geometric patterns. Z. Kristallogr. 2020, 235, 559–568] we studied the mineralogical composition and their surface colour materials of shards from Bronze and Iron Age. In this work we focus on bulk features of the dark Pre-metal Age cord-marked ceramic shard PSN2-S10E13 and compare its elemental and mineralogical composition with bulk composition of sample 5412-S6E15 from Bronze Age. Experimental techniques are electron microprobe, X-ray powder diffraction, FTIR spectroscopy, optical microscopy and X-ray tomographic microscopy (XTM). Sample PSN2-S10E13 contains more quartz than 5412-S6E15. In the bulk of the Pre-metal Age shard, diffraction signals of mullite occur, indicating higher firing temperatures compared to the younger sample. Phyllosilicate signals are seen in FTIR spectra of both shards. E-modes of quartz dominate FTIR spectra of both samples. Optical thin sections show voids around micro-particles in PSN2-S10E13 and XTM indicates that the pore volume percentage of sample PSN2-S10E13 is higher than in 5412-S6E15. Because of the large age gap to younger samples from Ban Chiang, the proper age of our oldest sample PSN2-S10E13 was determined using an accelerator mass spectrometer (AMS) by simultaneous 14C/12C and 13C/12C isotope ratio measurements which yielded a radiocarbon age of 3609 ± 29 BP (resp. 1659 ± 29 BC).","PeriodicalId":48676,"journal":{"name":"Zeitschrift Fur Kristallographie-Crystalline Materials","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2023-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46705941","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In all cases, we used metal Cl2·nH2O salts (except for anhydrous CoCl2), as specified. Outcome: we isolated species with a four-coordinate metal in the N4 cavity of the ligand alone, and also with either one or two additional axial ligands. Those axial ligands can be (a) a single chloride, leading to penta-coordinated moncationic products; (b) two chlorides, leading to octahedral-neutral compounds; (c) two waters, giving rise to hexa-coordinated [(cyclam)metal(H2O)2]2+ species. Finally, in the case of HCl added to the reaction medium, the cyclam can be di-protonated and appears as [(cyclam)H2]2+ in the crystals. With such a variety of products, it is not surprising that since the metal coordination numbers vary, the cyclam ligand stereochemistries are thereby affected. Interestingly, the [(cyclam)metal] species are invariably hydrogen-bonded to one another in infinite strings of two kinds: (1) those for which the crystal’s Z′ = 1 have single strings; (2) when Z′ = 2, there is a pair of homogeneous strings attached to one another by a variety of hydrogen-bonding linkages. Finally, we observed an interesting pair of hydroxonium cations: the first is hydoxonium cations in a pleated 2-D sheet consisting of fused pentagons located between sheets of [(cyclam)metal] moieties; the second one is an infinite string of composition {(H3O+)-(H2O)-(H3O+)-(H2O)-(H3O+)-(H2O)-(H3O+)}∞.","PeriodicalId":48676,"journal":{"name":"Zeitschrift Fur Kristallographie-Crystalline Materials","volume":"238 1","pages":"243 - 251"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43400983","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
