[en] Investigation results of lithium, sodium and potassium interaction with tellurium dioxide at 1073-1223 K are presented. Decrease of the value of polyphosphate average molecular mass and melt viscosity by the growth of tellurium dioxide content in initial impurities, temperature and interaction time is stated. Polyanion destruction is confirmed by tetra-, piro-, orthophosphate availability in hardened interaction products. Tellurium dioxide interaction with polyphosphate was followed by formation of tellurium (6) compounds

[en] By the method of DTA in soldered platinum ampoule the melting temperature of InF₃, being 1320±10 deg C, was determined. It is detected that when kept in the air InF₃ reacts with atmosphere. Using the methods of DTA and X-ray phase analysis, phase equilibria in systems LiF-InF₃ and YbF₃-InF₃ are studied. In the first system compounds Li₃InF₆(two modifications) and LiInF₄ are found, in the second one-solid solutions on the basis of the components

[en] Polythermal outs in two cross sections, that is, Y₂BaCuO₅-Y₂Cu₂O₅ and BaCuO₂-Y₂O₃ of Y₂O₃-BaO-CuO(Cu₂O3 ternary system within 850-1450 deg C range are plotted using annealing and quenching techniques, as well as, differential thermal, X-ray phase and crystal optical analyses. Equilibrium phase ratios in these cuts are of complicated character with transition from eutectic to peritectic one. Nonequilibrium phase ratios in BaCuO₂-Y₂O₃ system are determined in both low-temperature part of the system (caused by kinetic factors) and above solidus line linked, apparently, with peculiarities of liquid phase chemical composition

[en] By means of X-ray phase, differential thermal analyses it is determined that europium (2) sulfide interacts with phosphorus (5) sulfide at 540-600 deg C with formation of compounds of Eu₅P₂S₁₀, Eu₃(PS₄)₂, Eu₂P₂S₇ composition. During heating at the air europium (2) thiophosphates are stable up to 250 deg C, are unstable to the action of diluted and concentrated mineral acids, and are slowly hydrolyzed by water

[en] Solubility and composition of solid phases in (HCOO)₃Y-(HCOO)₂M-H₂O systems, where M=Cu²⁺, Co²⁺, Ni²⁺, Cd²⁺, Ca²⁺, are studied at 25 deg C. The investigated systems belong to eutonic ones. Despite the fact that isotherm branch trend differs essentially in them, the formation of new compounds at 25 deg C does not occur. Effect of transition and rare earth metal ions on character of isotherm branches, in particular, at erbium ion substitution for yttrium is analysed. Mutual increase in solubility of the initial components (HCOO)₃Y- (HCOO)₂Cu - H₂O system is determined that turns to be essential at synthesis of initial compounds from aqueous solutions for preparation of high-temperature superconducting materials

[en] Interaction of sodium fluorozirconate Na₂Zr₆F₃₁ (1) with aluminium fluoride (2) and barium fluorozirconate (3) is investigated by differential thermal analysis. It is determined that fluorozirconates 1 and 3 are melted at 500 deg C and 1020 deg C, respectively. Fluorozirconate 1 forms eutectic systems with 2 and 3. Eutectics of 1-2 and 1-3 systems are melted at 455 and 410 deg C and contain 30 mol.% of 2 and 35 mol. % of 3, respectively

[en] Dissociation of vinylidenediphosphonic acid (H₄V) was studied by the method of pH-metric titration in KCl aqueous solution at different ionic force of solutions. Thermodynamic protonation constants were calculated. Complexing of three-valent rare earth ions with H₄V was studied in the region of ⁴I_9/2 → ²P_1/2 electron transition for Nd³⁺-Ln³⁺-H₄V (Ln=La, Nd, Eu, Gd, Tb, Yb, Ln, Y) systems, using the method of high resolution spectrography of Nd³⁺ aqua-ion spectra. Concentration stability constants of LnH₂V⁺ complexes were calculated. The dependence of stability constant logarithm on atomic number is of nonmonotonous character and passes through the maximum in the middle of rare earth series
