Manganese Antimonate: Facile solid state synthesis, characterization and its application for Biginelli reactions

Nanostructured Mn2Sb2O7 powders were synthesized via stoichiometric1:1 Mn:Sb molar ratio solid state reaction at different reactions temperatures for 8 h using MnSO4.H2O and Sb2O3 as raw materials. The synthesized materials were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) technique. Structural analyses were performed by the FullProf program employing profile matching with constant scale fa...

Synthesis of H(x)Li(1-x)LaTiO4 from quantitative solid-state reactions at room temperature.

The layered perovskite HLaTiO(4) reacts stoichiometrically with LiOH.H(2)O at room temperature to give targeted compositions in the series H(x)Li(1-x)LaTiO(4). Remarkably, the Li(+) and H(+) ions are quantitatively exchanged in the solid state and this allows stoichiometric control of ion exchange for the first time in this important series of compounds.

SSRL X-rays help Illuminate Frustrated Spin Liquid State

A new magnetic state called a quantum spin liquid has been observed by a large international team of investigators from ten institutions, including a group using SSRL. When magnetic ions are located within a crystal lattice there are usually strong local magnetic and electric forces between them. At low temperatures such forces lead to a preferred alignment of the atomic moments – in ferromagne...
