BaZnGeO4 undergoes many phase transitions from I to V phase. The highest temperature phase I has a BaAl2O4 type structure with a hexagonal lattice. Recent X-ray diffraction study showed that the incommensurate (IC) lattice modulation appears along the c axis in the III and IV phases with a period of about 4c, and a commensurate (C) phase with a modulated period of 4c exists between the III and IV phases in the narrow temperature region (—58°C to —47°C on cooling), called the III' phase. The modulations in the IC phases are considered displacive type, but the detailed structures have not been studied. It is also not clear whether the modulation changes into periodic arrays of discommensurations (DC’s) near the III-III' and IV-V phase transition temperature as found in the ferroelectric materials such as Rb2ZnCl4.At room temperature (III phase) satellite reflections were seen around the fundamental reflections in a diffraction pattern (Fig.1) and they aligned along a certain direction deviated from the c* direction, which indicates that the modulation wave vector q tilts from the c* axis. The tilt angle is about 2 degree at room temperature and depends on temperature.

The literature data and the results obtained by the authors on the study of the structure and properties of a series of polycrystalline and single-crystal samples of pure and Mg-doped oxymolybdates Ln2MoO6 (Ln = La, Pr, Nd) are analyzed. Presumably, the high-temperature phase I41/acd of Nd2MoO6 single crystals is retained at room temperature. The reason for the loss of the center of symmetry in the structures of La2MoO6 and Pr2MoO6 and the transition to the space group I4¯c2 is the displacement of oxygen atoms along the twofold diagonal axes. In all structures, Mg cations are localized near the positions of the Mo atoms, and the splitting of the positions of the atoms of rare-earth elements is found. Thermogravimetric studies, as well as infrared spectroscopy data for hydrated samples of Ln2MoO6 (Ln = La, Pr, Nd), pure and with an impurity of Mg, confirm their hygroscopic properties.

ABSTRACTIn α-C5n-HNO3 the condensation of the room-temperature liquid-like diffuse ring associated with the disorder-order transition around 250 K is studied and the low-temperature. superstructure is examined.It is found that β-C8n-HNO3 exhibits an in-plane incommensurate order at room temperature.Two types of graphite-Br2 are found. Low-temperature phase transitions in C8Br are observed at T1 ≍ 277 K and T2 ≍ 297 K. The room-temperature structure of C14Br is reexamined. Special attention is given to diffuse scattering and incommensurability.

Abstract In this work, we developed an approach of one-pot completely catalytic conversion of woody biomass into two value product streams: lignin-derived aromatics (68.54% monomer and 29.65% oligomer yields of lignin) and (semi-)cellulose-derived small molecular alcohols (about 59.60% of biomass mass). These could be afforded by conducting lignocellulose depolymerization over metal-alkaline catalysts in a mixture n-butanol/H2O solvent system at 250 °C and 30 bar H2. In the valorization process, the homogenous mixture of n-butanol-H2O solvents extract and depolymerize both lignin and hemicellulose, while the catalysts and H2 are essential to cleave the inter-/intramolecular linkages of lignocellulose into target products. After the reaction, phase separation of n-butanol and H2O takes place when systematic temperature at room temperature, providing a mild and effective strategy to isolate lignin-derived aromatics (n-butanol phase) from small molecular alcohols/acids (aqueous phase). Ru/C and alkali catalysts are collected by filtration from n-butanol phase and H2O phase, respectively. Meanwhile, the effect of metal-alkali coupled catalysts enables facilitating the cleavage of β-O-4 linkage of lignin and increasing the attainability of (semi-)cellulose-derived oligomers and the small molecular alcohols. This catalytic system provides a versatile valorization approach for biomass catalytic to bio-based chemicals.
