Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
Major developments in synthetic and structural solid state chemistry have resulted from the drive to develop new high temperature cuprate superconductors. However, many of these advances have not been applied to other transition metal materials. This program will use high pressure techniques to synthesis new compounds containing contemporary structural features such as complex anions, ordered multilayer cation arrangements and highly oxidised transition metals. A piston apparatus will be used for synthesis to 35kbar and a flowing oxygen gas system for reactions to 1 kbar. Anion system developed will be those containing, for example, carbonate and borate in combination with (mainly) first row transition metals. Multiperovskite layers systems will be studied for species such as iron, nickel and manganese with separating layers of Ti, Nb, Sn. High oxidation state materials such as those of Fe (IV) and Ni (III, IV) will be prepared. Materials will be characterised in terms of their structures and physical properties in relation to potential applications.
