High temperature hydrothermal synthesis of inorganic compounds

Synthesis, Structures, and Magnetic Investigations of Nickel Phosphates: Ni2(PO4)(OH), Ni7(PO4)3(HPO4)(OH)3, and NaNiPO4 Including Potential Haldane Behavior

“…7,8 The tetrahedral oxyanions play an important role in structure design as they can coordinate to the metal ions in a wide variety of ways and act as both intra-and interchain bridging groups. 9 They also play an important role in intra-and interchain magnetic coupling. By using a high-temperature hydrothermal method, namely hydrothermal reactions between 300 and 650 °C, we can often obtain high-quality single crystals of a wide range of materials with parallel quasi-1-D chains.…”

“…Previously we have been successful in the synthesis of a wide range of compounds featuring parallel quasi-1-D chains based on first-row transition metal ions and magnetically silent tetrahedral oxyanion building blocks ((VO 4 ) 3– , (MoO 4 ) 2– ). , The tetrahedral oxyanions play an important role in structure design as they can coordinate to the metal ions in a wide variety of ways and act as both intra- and interchain bridging groups . They also play an important role in intra- and interchain magnetic coupling.…”
