چکیده
Gallium boron phosphate, (Ga(0.71)B(0.29))PO(4), was synthesized by a high-temperature solid-state reaction method. The crystal structure is isostructural with the tetra-gonal high-cristobalite structure with space group P which is built from alternating Ga(B)O(4) and PO(4) tetra-hedra inter-connected by sharing the common O-atom vertices, resulting in a three-dimensional structure with two-dimensional six-membered-ring tunnels running along the a and b axes.

Crystal structures of cristobalite-type and coesite-type PON redetermined on the basis of single-crystal X-ray diffraction data
Hitherto, phospho-rus oxonitride (PON) could not be obtained in the form of single crystals and only powder diffraction experiments were feasible for structure studies. In the present work we have synthesized two polymorphs of phospho-rus oxonitride, cristobalite-type (cri-PON) and coesite-type (coe-PON), in the form of single crystals and reinvestigated their crystal structures by means of in ...
متن کاملExperimental ammonia-free phosphate-bonded investments using Mg(H2PO4)2 solution.
In our previous study, we investigated ammonia-free phosphate-bonded investments using Mg (H2PO4)2 powder. The purpose of the present study was to attempt usage of 50 wt% Mg (H2PO4)2 solution instead of powder. Magnesium oxide (MgO) was prepared as a binder and cristobalite was selected as a refractory. After arranging six kinds of experimental investments (A-F) with different cristobalite/MgO ...

The structure of Li(3)V(2)(PO(4))(3) has been reinvestigated from single-crystal X-ray data. Although the results of the previous studies (all based on powder diffraction data) are comparable with our redetermination, all atoms were refined with anisotropic displacement parameters in the current study, and the resulting bond lengths are more accurate than those determined from powder diffractio...
متن کاملThe α–β phase transition in volcanic cristobalite
Cristobalite is a common mineral in volcanic ash produced from dome-forming eruptions. Assessment of the respiratory hazard posed by volcanic ash requires understanding the nature of the cristobalite it contains. Volcanic cristobalite contains coupled substitutions of Al3+ and Na+ for Si4+; similar co-substitutions in synthetic cristobalite are known to modify the crystal structure, affecting t...

The chloroapatite Eu5(PO4)3Cl has been synthesized by a solid-state reaction route using a salt flux. Its structure has been solved and refined from single crystal X-ray data: apatite type, P63/m, a = 988.36(4), c = 720.32(3) pm, Z = 2, R(F) = 0.021 and wR(F2) = 0.063 for 748 unique reflections and 40 variables. The Eu5(PO4)3Cl structure contains isolated (PO4)3− tetrahedra and two crystallogra...
