GaN crystals are synthesized by recrystallization technique in Na-Li-Ca alloy melt under different N2 pressure. X-ray powder diffraction results confirm that the structure of crystals is GaN with wurtzite type and there still have raw powders remaining. The total mass of GaN decreases with the nitrogen pressure reduces. No GaN crystals are found in the solution under N2 pressure of 0.4 MPa. The morphologies of the crystal are mainly prism and pyramid. The size of the crystal increases when closer to the liquid surface. Raman spectra indicates that these crystals are stress-free and crystal grown at 3.6 MPa has high structural quality or low impurity concentrations. The results reveal that the solubility and supersaturation of the solution are controlled by N2 pressure. The principle of GaN crystal synthesis by recrystallization is discussed.

AbstractIn the interest of obtaining crystalline polydiacetylene with absorption at longer wavelengths, new derivatives of 2,4-hexadiyne with planar, visible absorbing aromatic chromophores have been designed, synthesized, and thermally polymerized. The resulting polymers have a red shifted maximum with absorption extending to the infrared. Their Raman spectra show the usual polydiacetylene ene-yne structure, and X-ray powder diffraction reveals that the new polymers are crystalline.

The thermal behavior of melanterite from the Fornovolasco mine (Tuscany, Italy) has been investigated via differential thermal analysis (DTA), thermogravimetry (TG), in situ high-temperature X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The DTA curve showed endothermic peaks at 70, 100, 260, 500–560 and 660 °C whereas the TG curve evidenced a total mass decrease of ~68%, in keeping with the loss of all H2O and SO4 groups. Rietveld refinements were performed for all the collected patterns in the 25–775 °C range and converged at 1.57 ≤ R (%) ≤ 2.75 and 1.98 ≤ Rwp (%) ≤ 3.74. The decomposition steps FeSO4·7H2O → FeSO4·4H2O (25 ≤ T ≤ 50 °C) → FeSO4·H2O (50 < T ≤ 100 °C) → FeOHSO4 (75 < T ≤ 200 °C) → Fe2(SO4)3 (400 < T ≤ 500 °C) → Fe2O3 (500 < T ≤ 775 °C) were obtained. The high-temperature infrared analysis confirmed that melanterite undergoes a three-step dehydration in the 25–300 °C temperature range. The FeOHSO4 phase is stable over a wide range of temperature and transforms partially to Fe2(SO4)3 without the formation of Fe2O(SO4)2. The findings highlight a different behavior of the studied sample with respect to the synthetic salt.

The present paper is interested in the study of compounds from the apatite family with the general formula Ca10 (PO4)6A2. It particularly brings to light the exploitation of the distinctive stereochemistries of two Ca positions in apatite. In fact, Gd-Bearing oxyapatiteCa8 Gd2 (PO4)6O2 has been synthesized by solid state reaction and characterized by X-ray powder diffraction. The site occupancies of substituents is0.3333 in Gd and 0.3333 for Ca in the Ca(1) position and 0. 5 for Gd in the Ca (2) position.  Besides, the observed frequencies in the Raman and infrared spectra were explained and discussed on the basis of unit-cell group analyses.

Time-resolved mechanochemical cocrystallisation studies have so-far focused solely on neat and liquid-assisted grinding. Here, we report the monitoring of polymer-assisted grinding reactions using <i>in situ</i> X-ray powder diffraction, revealing that reaction rate is almost double compared to neat grinding and independent of the molecular weight and amount of used polymer additives.<br>

Background: Clarithromycin is widely used for infections of helicobacter pylori. Clarithromycin belongs to polymorphic drug. Crystalline state changes of clarithromycin in sustained release tablets were found. Objective: The aim of this study was to find the influential factor of the crystal transition of clarithromycin in preparation process of sustained-release tablets and to investigate the possible interactions between the clarithromycin and pharmaceutical excipients. Methods and Results: The crystal transition of active pharmaceuticals ingredients from form II to form I in portion in clarithromycin sustained release tablets were confirmed by x-ray powder diffraction. The techniques including differential scanning calorimetry and infrared spectroscopy, x-ray powder diffraction were used for assessing the compatibility between clarithromycin and several excipients as magnesium stearate, lactose, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, polyvinyl-pyrrolidone K-30 and microcrystalline cellulose. All of these methods showed compatibilities between clarithromycin and the selected excipients. Alcohol prescription simulation was also done, which showed incompatibility between clarithromycin and concentration alcohol. Conclusion: It was confirmed that the reason for the incompatibility of clarithromycin with high concentration of alcohol was crystal transition.
