Pressure-induced hydrogen bond symmetrization in iron oxyhydroxide.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Under high pressures the hydrogen bonds were predicted to transform from a highly asymmetric soft O-H···O to a symmetric rigid configuration in which the proton lies midway between the two oxygen atoms. Despite four decades of research on hydroxyl containing compounds, pressure induced hydrogen bond symmetrization remains elusive. Following single crystal x-ray diffraction, Mössbauer and Raman spectroscopy measurements supported by ab initio calculations, we report the H-bonds symmetrization in iron oxyhydroxide, FeOOH, resulting from the Fe(3+) high-to-low spin crossover at above 45 GPa.

Vibrational properties of δ-AlOOH under pressure
We have performed first-principles calculations to investigate the behavior of the hydrogen bond in δ-AlOOH under pressure. The highest OH-stretching A1 and B2 mode frequencies decrease under pressure leading to hydrogen bond symmetrization. After hydrogen bond symmetrization, the corresponding frequencies gradually increase. This softening and subsequent hardening of the OH bonds is a good spe...
متن کاملExperimental evidence of superionic conduction in H2O ice.
Ionic conductivity and molar volume measurements were performed on H(2)O ice at high pressure (P) and temperature (T) in a resistive-heated diamond anvil cell. The conductivity data obtained at P = 20-62 GPa, T = 304-930 K are well fitted with a single Arrhenius equation. Isothermal volume measurements at T = 873 K, P = 30-101 GPa indicate that H(2)O ice undergoes phase transitions at P = 50 GP...

The study of hydrogen bonds near symmetrization limit at high pressures is of importance to understand proton dynamics in complex bio-geological processes. We report here the evidence of hydrogen bond symmetrization in the simplest amino acid-carboxylic acid complex, glycinium oxalate, at moderate pressures of 8 GPa using in-situ infrared and Raman spectroscopic investigations combined with fir...
متن کاملStructural controls on OH site availability and reactivity at iron oxyhydroxide particle surfaces.
Iron oxyhydroxides (FeOOH) are highly reactive minerals of widespread occurrence in natural and industrial settings. These minerals chiefly occur as nano- to submicron-sized particles and are covered by hydroxyl functional groups coordinated to one (-OH), two (μ-OH), or three (μ(3)-OH) underlying iron atoms. These groups are reaction centers for gases, solutes as well as solvents and thereby pl...
متن کاملEffect of salt on the H-bond symmetrization in ice.
The richness of the phase diagram of water reduces drastically at very high pressures where only two molecular phases, proton-disordered ice VII and proton-ordered ice VIII, are known. Both phases transform to the centered hydrogen bond atomic phase ice X above about 60 GPa, i.e., at pressures experienced in the interior of large ice bodies in the universe, such as Saturn and Neptune, where non...
