  • 2 Literature Review
    2 Literature review 2.1 Thin film solid state reactions A solid state chemical reaction in the classical sense occurs when local transport of matter is observed in crystalline phases and new phases are formed.1 This definition does not mean that gaseous or liquid phases may not take part in the solid state reactions. However, it does mean that the reaction product occurs as a solid phase. Thus, the tarnishing of metals during dry or wet oxidation is also considered to be a solid state reaction. Commonly, the solid state reac- tions are heterogeneous reactions. If after reaction of two substances one or more solid product phases are formed, then a heterogeneous solid state reaction is said to have occurred. Spinel- and pyrochlore-forming reactions are well-known examples of solid-state reactions where a ternary oxide forms.5–11 In this Ph.D. thesis, heterogeneous solid state reactions are considered. Extended crystal defects as high mobility paths for atoms are essential in the reactivity of solids. Furthermore, interfaces play an important role in the solid state reactions because during hetero- geneous reactions interfaces move and mass transport occurs across them. The interfaces can be coherent, semicoherent or incoherent.28 At the interface, chemical reactions take place between species and defects; they are often associated with structural transformations and volume changes. The characteristics of thin film solid state reactions running on the nanometer scale are con- siderably different from solid state reactions proceeding in the bulk. During bulk reactions, the diffusion process is rate limiting and controls the growth.

Origin And History of Perovskite compounds Perovskite is calcium titanium oxide or calcium titanate, with the chemical formula CaTiO3. The mineral was discovered by Gustav Rose in 1839 and is named after Russian mineralogist Count Lev Alekseevich Perovski (1792–1856).” All materials with the same crystal structure as CaTiO3, namely ABX3, are termed perovskites: Origin And History of Perovskite compounds Very stable structure, large number of compounds, variety of properties, many practical applications.

Structure refinement of polycrystalline orthorhombic yttrium substituted calcium titanate: Ca1−xYxTiO3+δ (x = 0·1–0·3) RASHMI CHOURASIA and O P SHRIVASTAVA∗ Department of Chemistry, Dr H.S. Gour University, Sagar 470 003, India MS received 23 May 2007; revised 7 September 2010 Abstract. The perovskite ceramic phases with composition Ca1−xYxTiO3+δ (where x = 0·1, 0·2and0·3; hereafter CYT-10, CYT-20 and CYT-30) have been synthesized by solid state reaction at 1050◦C. The structure refinement using general structure analysis system (GSAS) software converges to satisfactory profile indicators such as Rietveld 2 parameters: Rp, Rwp,RF and goodness of fit. The title phases crystallize at room temperature in the space group Pbnm (#62) with a = 5·3741(4) Å, b = 5·4300(4) Å, c = 7·6229(5) Å and Z = 4. Major interatomic distances, bond angles and structure factors have been calculated from the step analysis data of the compound. The crys- tal morphology has been examined by scanning electron microscopy. Energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis of the specimens show that yttrium enters into the structural framework of CaTiO3. The particle size of the ceramic phases along major reflection planes ranges between 12 and 40 nm. The polyhedral (CaO8 and TiO6) distortions and valence calculations from bond strength data are also reported. Keywords.

Calcium titanate (CaTiO3) was combustion synthesized from a calcium source of waste duck eggshell, anatase titanium dioxide (A-TiO2), and magnesium (Mg). )e eggshell and A-TiO2 were milled for 30 min in either a high-energy planetary mill or a conventional ball mill. )ese powders were then separately mixed with Mg in a ball mill. After synthesis, the combustion products were leached and then sintered to produce CaTiO3 ceramic. Analytical characterization of the as-leached combustion products revealed that the product of the combustion synthesis of duck eggshell + A-TiO2 that had been high-energy-milled for 30 min before synthesis comprised a single perovskite phase of CaTiO3.

  • Homogeneous Models of Thiophene Hds Reactions
    HOMOGENEOUS MODELS OF THIOPHENE HDS REACTIONS. SELECTIVITY IN THIOPHENE C-S CLEAVAGE AND THIOPHENE REACTIONS WITH DINUCLEAR METAL COMPLEXES. William D. Jones,* David A. Vicic, R. Martin Chin, James H. Roache, and Andy W. Myers. Department of Chemistry, University of Rochester, Rochester, NY 14627 Received August 1, 1996 - Abstract: The reactive 16 e metal fragment [(C5Me5)Rh(PMe3)] inserts into a wide variety of thiophene C-S bonds. The structures of the thiophene, benzothiophene, and dibenzothiophene insertion complexes have been determined. While the thiophene complex adopts a planar 6- membered ring structure the other metallacycles are bent, and all molecules possess localized diene structures. The mechanism of C-S cleavage was found to proceed by way of initial sulfur coordination. 2-Methylbenzothiophene gives a kinetic product resulting from cleavage of the sulfur-vinyl bond, but then rearranges to cleave the sulfur-aryl bond. A number of substituted dibenzothiophenes were examined, showing little electronic effect of substituents, but showing a large steric effect of substituents at the 4 and 6 positions. 4,6-Dimethyldibenzothiophene does not undergo cleavage, but instead forms an S-bound complex. Reactions of a cobalt analog, (C5Me5)Co(C2H4)2 with thiophenes also lead to C-S cleaved products, and the use of a dinuclear iridium system produces a butadiene complex in which both C-S bonds have been cleaved. Introduction of these sulfur containing compounds prior to The hydrodesulfurization of petroleum is one treatment. Figure 2 shows how this original mixture of several steps in the hydrotreating of oil in which of compounds is changed upon HDS treatment at sulfur is removed from thiols and thiophenes as temperatures of 350 - 390 °C.

In this work, quantum chemical calculations were carried out to investigate the formation of DBF, DBT, and CA from the reactions of BF, BT, and IN with a cyclopentadienyl radical (CPDyl) by using the hybrid density functional theory (DFT) at the MPWB1K/6-311+G(3df,2p)//MPWB1K/6-31+G(d,p) level. The rate constants of crucial elementary steps were deduced over 600 1200 K, using canonical − variational transition state theory with a small-curvature tunneling contribution (CVT/SCT).
