This exploratory synthesis investigation was undertaken to determine the viability of replacing a single carbon vertex with another p-block element in a highly strained tetrahedrane molecule. Phosphorus was selected for this purpose because the stable molecular form of elemental phosphorus is tetrahedral. Our synthetic strategy was to generate an unsaturated phosphorus center bonded to a substituted cyclopropenyl group, a situation that could lead to closure to provide the desired phosphatetrahedrane framework. This was accomplished by dehydrofluorination of the in situ generated fluorophosphine H(F)P(CtBu)3. Tri-tert-butyl phosphatetrahedrane, P(CtBu)3, was then isolated in 19% yield as a low-melting, volatile, colorless solid and characterized spectroscopically and by a single-crystal x-ray diffraction study, confirming the tetrahedral nature of the molecule’s PC3 core. The molecule exhibits unexpected thermal stability.

We present the identification of crystalline phases by in situ X-ray diffraction during growth and monitor the phase evolution during subsequent thermal treatment of CH3NH3PbX3 (X = I, Br, Cl) perovskite thin films.

In this paper, the diphenyl methane diisocyanate (MDI) was used to modify montmorillonoid (MMT) and got the organic montmorillonite (OMMT), which was used with the monomers of PET by in situ polymerization method to prepare PET/MMT nanocomposition. The OMMT was analyzed by the X ray diffraction (XRD) to test the change of the spacing layer. Dispersion of MMT in the PET/MMT nanocomposites were studied with XRD and SEM and by means of thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA) on the thermal stability of PET/MMT nanocomposites. The results showed that, MDI modified MMT successfully, and the compatibility of MMT and PET was increased .

Pyrrole and m-toluidine copolymer (P(PY/MT)) / montmorillonite (MMT) Composites were prepared by in situ chemical polymerization of pyrrole with m-toluidine monomer in the presence of montmorillonite. The structural, morphological and thermal properties of these composites were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). X-ray diffraction result for P(PY/MT)-MMT illuminated the intercalation of P(PY/MT) copolymer between the clay layers. The FT-IR result showed the successful incorporation of montmorillonite clay in the prepared P(PY/MT)/MMT composite. The higher thermal stability of high MMT content rate might be attributed to its higher chain compactness due to the interfacial interaction between the P(PY/MT) and the clay.
