ABSTRACTThis paper reviews the literature on rare earth(III) and actinide(III) hydroxide thermodynamics, in particular the determination of their enthalpies of formation at 25 ºC. The hydroxide unit-cell volumes, lanthanide/actinide ion sizes, and solid-solution stability trends have been correlated with a generalized acid-base strength model for oxides to estimate properties for heterogeneous equilibria that are relevant to nuclear waste modeling and to characterization of potential actinide environmental interactions. Enthalpies of formation and solubility-product constants of actinide(III) hydroxidesare estimated

AbstractThe compounds, BaR2Ti3O10: R = La, Pr, Nd and Sm; BaR2Ti4O12: R = La, Pr, Sm, Gd, Eu have been prepared by solid state reaction and characterized by X-ray powder diffraction. Unit cell data are summarised; lattice parameters and unit cell volumes increase approximately linearly with lanthanide ion size.

Enthalpies of drop solution in molten 52 wt.% LiBO2-48 wt.% NaBO2 at 1078 K were measured for RE1.1Si1.7Al0.6O6-1.5xNx (x = 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8) glasses for RE = Nd, Gd, Dy, Er, and Y. Linear relations between enthalpies of formation from elements and nitrogen content indicate that, within the experimental composition range, sites occupied by nitrogen ions are approximately equivalent in energy for a given substitutional series. The energetics of different rare-earth SiAlON glasses appears to be dominated by differences in the acid/base character of the cations. The onset glass-transition temperature increases linearly with increasing nitrogen content for the same rare earth and with decreasing rare-earth ionic radius for the same nitrogen content.

In the course of the studies described in Parts I and II, an unusual result was observed in the case of the structure determination of hydrated gadolinium(III) picrate. Midway through data collection, the monoclinic P 21/c phase underwent a phase modification (X-ray-induced?) to a similar cell more nearly resembling that of the La → Pr structure type recorded previously, with no loss of crystal integrity, and with useful data sets being obtained on both forms. Redetermination of the structure with a fresh sample yielded no reproduction of the anomaly. These results are recorded and discussed, together with an overview of the consequences of the data of Parts I-III in relation to those of other literature in the field.

The existing wetting methods for the determination of acid-base properties on solid surfaces are discussed. Striving for a better understanding of the adhesive polymer interactions in adhesively joined polymers, the methods of Berger and van Oss-Chaudhury-Good were found as the most suitable methods for the investigation of wetting on solid polymer surfaces. Methods of nonlinear systems by Della Volpe and Siboni were adapted and evaluated on plastic surfaces. In the context of these investigations various data of the surface free energy as well as its components have been identified for a number of polymer surfaces by application of spatial equation solutions.

Zintl phases are renowned for their diverse crystal structures with rich structural chemistry and have recently exhibited some remarkable heat- and charge-transport properties. The ternary bismuthidesRELi3Bi2(RE= La–Nd, Sm, Gd, and Tb) (namely, lanthanum trilithium dibismuthide, LaLi3Bi2, cerium trilithium dibismuthide, CeLi3Bi2, praseodymium trilithium dibismuthide, PrLi3Bi2, neodymium trilithium dibismuthide, NdLi3Bi2, samarium trilithium dibismuthide, SmLi3Bi2, gadolinium trilithium dibismuthide, GdLi3Bi2, and terbium trilithium dibismuthide, TbLi3Bi2) were synthesized by high-temperature reactions of the elements in sealed Nb ampoules. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis shows that all seven compounds are isostructural and crystallize in the LaLi3Sb2type structure in the trigonal space groupP\overline{3}m1 (Pearson symbolhP6). The unit-cell volumes decrease monotonically on moving from the La to the Tb compound, owing to the lanthanide contraction. The structure features a rare-earth metal atom and one Li atom in a nearly perfect octahedral coordination by six Bi atoms. The second crystallographically unique Li atom is surrounded by four Bi atoms in a slightly distorted tetrahedral geometry. The atomic arrangements are best described as layered structures consisting of two-dimensional layers of fused LiBi4tetrahedra and LiBi6octahedra, separated by rare-earth metal cations. As such, these compounds are expected to be valance-precise semiconductors, whose formulae can be represented as (RE3+)(Li1+)3(Bi3−)2.
