The phase transition of rubidium hydrogen carbonate, RbHCO3
نویسندگان
چکیده
Rubidium hydrogen carbonate, RbHCO3, features an order/disorder phase transition at TC = 245 K from the high-temperature (HT) disordered C2/m modification to the low-temperature (LT) C-1 modification. The crystal structures are characterized by [HCO3]22- pairs of hydrogen carbonate groups connected by strong hydrogen bonding. The [HCO3]22- pairs are connected by Rb+ cations into a three-dimensional network. In HT-RbHCO3, the hydrogen atom is disordered. In LT-RbHCO3, ordering of the hydrogen atom leads to a translation-engleiche symmetry reduction of index 2. The lost reflections and rotations are retained as twin operations.

Neutron and high-pressure X-ray diffraction study of hydrogen-bonded ferroelectric rubidium hydrogen sulfate.
The pressure- and temperature-dependent phase transitions in the ferroelectric material rubidium hydrogen sulfate (RbHSO4) are investigated by a combination of neutron Laue diffraction and high-pressure X-ray diffraction. The observation of disordered O-atom positions in the hydrogen sulfate anions is in agreement with previous spectroscopic measurements in the literature. Contrary to the mecha...
متن کاملHigh-pressure phase transitions in rubidium and caesium hydroxides.
A computational investigation of the high-pressure phase sequence of the heaviest alkali hydroxides, RbOH and CsOH, shows that the phase diagram of both compounds is richer than hitherto thought. First-principles calculations suggest, based on energetics and comparisons to experimental diffraction and spectroscopy signatures, that the high-pressure phase RbOH-VI, stable above 6 GPa in experimen...
متن کاملComputational study of the intramolecular proton transfer between 6-hydroxypicolinic acid tautomeric forms and intermolecular hydrogen bonding in their dimers
This paper is a density functional theory (DFT) calculation of intramolecular proton transfer (IPT) in 6-hydroxypicolinic acid (6HPA, 6-hydroxypyridine-2-carboxylic acid) tautomeric forms. The transition state for the enol-to-keto transition is reported in the gas phase and in four different solvents. The planar and non-planar dimer forms of 6HPA keto and enol, respectively, were also studied i...

The effects of raw and sodium hydrogen carbonate-treated oak acorn were evaluated on broiler chicken performance and cecal flora. A total of 340 one-day-old broiler chicks were used in a completely randomized design with five experimental treatments and four replicates with 17 birds each. A corn-based diet served as the control and four treatment groups were diets containing 20 or 25% raw or tr...
متن کاملSuperfluid onset and prewetting of He on rubidium
Quartz-crystal microbalance isotherms of He on rubidium are presented. The isotherms are used to locate the prewetting transition and the onset of superfluidity in the adsorbed helium films. The phase diagram of He on Rb is distinctly different from helium on either conventional strong substrates or on cesium. In particular, the superfluid transition is hysteretic and does not conform to the Ko...
