Title: Collecting, testing and dissemination of experiments
in solid state and materials chemistry
Task Group
Chairman: M. Kizilyalli (deceased)

Remarks: previously 230/29/95
Completion Date: 2006 - project abandoned
Objective:
The objective is to provide tested experiments that will allow experiments
illustrating solid state and materials chemistry to be introduced
into the chemistry curriculum and experiments illustrating chemical
aspects to be introduced into the materials science curriculum.
Description:
The experiments to be prepared can be classified into 3 categories:
- to be used in junior undergraduate laboratories (2nd and
3rd year)
-
to be used in senior undergraduate laboratories
(4th year elective courses such as "Introduction to Solid State
Chemistry and Inorganic Materials" and "Inorganic Structural Chemistry"
-
to be used for the senior undergraduate students
(4th year) as projects and for master students as laboratory courses;
these could be advanced and expensive since few students will use
them.
Since in recent years the development in high technological materials
is a very important issue, this type of scientific document will be
very useful in the advancement of preparing new compounds.
Two sets of laboratory experiments in the field
of solid state chemistry edited by Prof Dr. Lars Kihlborg were submitted
to IUPAC commission II-3.
First Set:
-
Preparation and characterisation of barium titanate
(BTO) and BTO 'posistors'
-
Synthesis of ferroelectric BaTiO3 via
sol-gel route
-
Fabrication of thin film CdSe photoelectrochemical
solar cell and measurement of its efficiency
-
Synthesis and study of the high-Tc superconductor
YBa2Cu3O7-d.
-
Synthesis of a '123'-superconductor
-
Ionic conductivity in glass
-
Synthesis of luminescent materials
-
Synthesis of ferrimagnetic BaFe12O19
-
Synthesis of X-zeolite
-
Synthesis and properties of LaCoO3 and
La0.6Sr0.4CoO3
-
Preparation and characterisation of an intermetallic
compound, V3Si
-
Synthesis and crystal growth of MoO2
and characterisation
-
Synthesis and magnetic characterisation of a hard
magnetic material, BaFe12O19
-
Synthesis and intercalation studies on the layered
transition metal dichalcogenides, 2H-TaS2 and 2H-MoSe2
-
Synthesis and characterisation of a metal-cluster
compound, Cu2Mo6S8
Some experiments have been tested in the laboratories of Middle East
Technical University, Chemistry Department and were found to be feasible
and applicable. Some of them can be useful only in a well-equipped
solid-state laboratory. Several experiments were added to the list
developed in the Middle East Technical University Chemistry Department.
These are:
-
Synthesis and Characterization of Lanthanide Phosphates
-
Synthesis of Characterization of Tetracalcium Phosphate,
Ca4P2O9, A Dental Cement
-
Preparation of Gadolinium Tetraphosphate, Gd2P4O13,
and a Study of its Structure by XRD and IR Methods
-
Preparation of Copper Iron Sulfides by Solid-Gas
Reactions
-
Synthesis, Characterization and Conducting Properties
of YBa2Cu3S6-x
-
Synthesis of Sodium Dichromate, Na2Cr2O7,
and Sodium Chromate, Na2CrO4
-
Preparation of YBa2Cu3O7-x
by Using Citrate Synthesis
This document is going to be ready when testing of the experiments
will be done by another laboratory. The topic would be broadened considering
the following fields in a systematic way:
-
Synthesis of solids by solid state, solution, hydrothermal
or sol - gel methods.
-
Characterization using different Instrumental and
chemical methods.
-
Determination of magnetic, electrical, optical,
thermal and mechanical properties.
The process has been shown to work so those projects will build on
and greatly expand and enhance the earlier work.
