Research paper thumbnail of The chemistry of the processes involved in the production of lanthanide titanates by the polymerized-complex method

Canadian Journal of Chemistry, 2007

The composition, some spectral characteristics, and thermal decomposition of solid lanthanide–tit... more The composition, some spectral characteristics, and thermal decomposition of solid lanthanide–titanium (lanthanide (Ln) = Y, La, Ce) and lanthanide–titanium citrates (CA) and tartrates (TA) have been studied. The complexes have been prepared in ethylene glycol medium at conditions modeling those of the polymerized-complex method applied for Ln2Ti2O7 preparation. Special attention has been paid to the chemical nature of the bimetallic products as well as to the factors influencing the deprotonation of the alcoholic OH groups of the acidic ligands. The results contribute to further elucidation of the complexation and thermal decomposition processes involved in the polymerized-complex method.Key words: inorganic compounds, sol–gel chemistry, infrared spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA).

Research paper thumbnail of On the chemical nature of lanthanum–titanium citric complexes, precursors of La2Ti2O7

The obtained results, together with data from elemental, thermogravimetric, IR, 13 C-and 1 H-NMR (in solution) analysis, give evidence for the mixed-metal nature of the bimetallic citric complex and permit a hypothetical structure to be proposed.

The comparison of their main characteristics with those of the analogous citric complexes contributes to the elucidation of the processes involved in the complexation and thermal decomposition of such complexes.

Solution phase 1 H, 13 C NMR, solid state 13 C CP MAS NMR and IR spectroscopy, and X-ray powder diffractometry were used to characterize the composition and structure of the synthesized products. Thermal decomposition of the isolated complexes was studied and a scheme of the processes taking place is proposed. Complexes of Ce(III) can be prepared at low temperature (40 C), only. In the presence of Ti(IV) ions, the oxidation takes place even at this temperature. A mixed-metal nature of the Ce(IV)-Ti(IV) complexes is established. The comparison between their composition and the one of analogous lanthanide(III)-Ti(IV) citrates contributes to the elucidation of the complexation process mechanism in the case of the PCM application. The increased charge of the complexation agent in the Ce 4þ-Ti 4þ complex (in comparison with Ln 3þ-Ti 4þ citrates) is ''compensated'' by the increase of the relative number of the ligands with deprotonated OH group.

The compositions, IR, 1 H and 13 C NMR spectral characteristics of the isolated solid complexes have been studied. Their chemical nature and the peculiarities of the complexation process in the system Y III-Fe IIIcitric acid-ethylene glycol = 1 : 1 : 8.5 : 35 have been studied and compared with those of the earlier studied lanthanide(III or IV)-titanium(IV) citric acid complexes, prepared under the same conditions. The mixed-metal nature of the obtained complexes has been shown. In contrast to the analogous lanthanide-titanium system, no deprotonation of the alcoholic OH groups of citric ligands takes place in the course of the formation of Y-Fe complexes.

X-ray diffractograms and IR spectra of the activated solid samples were taken. The radioactivities of 238 U and 234 Th in the leaching solutions were determined by α/β liquid scintillation spectrometry. The reduction degree of the oxide, the mean crystallite size of U 3 O 8 and U 3 O 7 and the leaching of 238 U and 234 Th as a result of the mechanoactivation were determined. Higher degree of 238 U and 234 Th leaching was achieved when mechanoactivation with TBP was performed. No leaching of 238 U daughter product ( 234 Th) proceeded at mechanoactivation with TOA and EGME. The role of the solvents complexation ability, milling induced increase of crystal defect concentration and UO 2 – ThO 2 solid solution formation is discussed. Further studies have to be made to elucidate t...

The significant overlapping of the 612 nm spectral bands of the oxygensensitive chromophore with the analyzed products band imposes the necessity of accounting for the impact of the latter in the analysis. The SiO2-based composite is rather sensitive to the prolonged action of wine causing a disturbance of the linearity of the Stren-Volmer dependence and significant decrease of the respective constant.
