Osm. Elmokhtar et M. Rzaigui, STUDY ON SOLID-LIQUID EQUILIBRIUM OF THE PSEUDOBINARY SYSTEM LIPO3-RBPO3, Journal of thermal analysis, 46(1), 1996, pp. 205-210
The LiPO3-RbPO3 system was investigated by differential thermal analys
is, X-ray diffraction and infrared spectroscopy. The system forms two
linear polyphosphate compounds: Li2Rb(PO3)(3) and LiRb(PO3)(2). The fi
rst one melts in a peritectic reaction at 552 degrees C and the second
one melts congruently at 613 degrees C. It is established that both c
ompounds are mixed polyphosphates with chain structure. Their reticula
r distances and IR characteristics are given here.
