Abstract

Crystalline Ti(HPO₄)₂·2H₂O has been obtained by slow decomposition of titanium fluoro-complexes in the presence of phosphoric acid. From the formation of intercalation compounds, X-ray powder patterns and density measurements, as well as from comparison with several acid salts of tetravalent metals, the following conclusions were derived:

1.
(1) The crystal structure of Ti(HPO₄)₂·2H₂O is built up of polymeric macro-anions, Ti_n(PO₄)_2n²ⁿ⁻, having negative fixed charges neutralized by protons (which can be easily exchanged by other cations), while the water is placed between the layers of these macro-anions. Polar organic molecules can also be intercalated between the macro-anions.
2.
(2) The crystal structure of Ti(HPO₄)₂·2H₂O in analogous to that of γ-Zr(HPO₄)₂·2H₂O.
3.
(3) The structural differences between the α and γ-phases are not due, as previously reported in the literature, to differences in the inter-layer structural arrangement of the same type of macro-anions but to a different structure of the macro-anions itself.

From the conditions of the formation of the γ-Ti(HPO₄)₂·2H₂O and γ-Zr(HPO₄)₂·2H₂O it is concluded that the formation of the γ-phases is favoured by a high mole ratio [H₂XO₄⁻]/[M(IV)] in the solution. Some suggestion on the nomenclature for insoluble acid salts are proposed.

Highly efficient synthesis of titanium phosphate precursor for electroactive materials
2022, Ceramics International

This phase also precipitated during the treatment of the mixture of α- and ɣ-TiP with a 10 M phosphoric acid for 50 h [7]. Another method proposed by Alberti et al. [8] was based on the reaction between TiCl4 and HF solution, which led to the formation of an intermediate complex. The thermal decomposition of titanium fluoride in the presence of phosphoric acid ensured the formation of crystalline α-TiP.
In recent years titanium phosphates (TiPs) have aroused considerable interest as multi-functional materials. Known methods of TiPs synthesis are rather complicated because they are based on wet chemistry in terms of which one-step synthesis of pure TiP fails. It is highly welcomed to develop a new approach to TiP production. In this work the novel minimalistic approach to the synthesis of two titanium phosphates of different composition from a solid TiOSO₄·H₂O precursor has been proposed. Despite the fact that the TiOSO₄ solutions are widely used for the synthesis of titanium phosphates, the solid compound as a titanium source has never been used before. The new mechanochemistry-based synthesis provides easy access to obtaining TiO(OH)(H₂PO₄)·H₂O and Ti(HPO₄)₂·H₂O (α-TiP) for 3 h and 5 h, respectively. The substitution of protons in α-TiP with Li⁺ and Al³⁺ by ion-exchange reactions provide the formation of Li_1.5Al_0.5Ti_1.5(PO₄)₃ which is electroactive material. The proposed synthesis procedure is more technologically attractive compared with traditional methods, and enables direct production of highly dispersed monophasic powder (100–300 nm) of desired composition at 823 K. The material obtained demonstrates high conductivity value of 7.8·10⁻⁴ S cm⁻¹ at 298 K, low activation energy of 0.27 eV, and can be used as a solid electrolyte for practical application in all-solid-state lithium batteries.

A lot of works have been published previously (Alberti and Torracca, 1968; Alberti et al., 1979; Costantino and Gasperoni, 1970; Clearfield, 1982; Szirtes, 1987; Schmiedgen et al., 1993) on the field of preparation and characterization of organic derivatives of various tetravalent and other metals, etc. for application as synthetic ion exchangers and adsorbents.
The structures of tin(II)-oxalate, tin(IV)Na–EDTA and tin(IV)Na₈-inositol hexaphosphate were investigated using XRD analysis. Samples were identified using the Mössbauer study, thermal analysis and FTIR spectrometry. The Mössbauer study determined two different oxidation states of tin atoms, and consequently two different tin surroundings in the end products. The tin oxalate was found to be orthorhombic with space group Pnma, a=9.2066(3) Å, b=9.7590(1) Å, c=13.1848(5) Å, V=1184.62 Å³ and Z=8. SnNa–EDTA was found to be monoclinic with space group P2₁/c₁, a=10.7544(3) Å, b=10.1455(3) Å, c=16.5130(6) Å, β=98.59(2)°, V=1781.50(4) Å³ and Z=4. Sn(C₆H₆Na₈O₂₄P₆) was found to be amorphous.
Swift heavy ion irradiation of titanium phosphate and related materials
2005, Radiation Physics and Chemistry
Amorphous and crystalline (both, $α$ - and $γ$ -forms) titanium phosphate, titanium molybdate and tungstate were irradiated with swift heavy ions of ⁸⁴Kr and ²⁰³Bi at a fluence of 5×10¹⁰–10¹⁴ ion cm⁻². The crystalline structure of the materials was characterized by XRD method before and after irradiation. Comparison of the powder diffraction patterns revealed that the irradiation had practically no effect on the materials with the exception of $γ$ -crystalline structure. This structure was destroyed under the effect of radiation of ⁸⁴Kr ions and became amorphous above the fluence of 1×10¹² ion cm⁻². In case of irradiation with ²⁰³Bi ions it became amorphous at the lowest fluences applied.
Hydrothermal synthesis and intercalation behavior of a layered titanium phosphate Ti<inf>2</inf>(H<inf>2</inf>PO<inf>4</inf>)(HPO<inf>4</inf>)(PO <inf>4</inf>)<inf>2</inf> • 0.5C<inf>6</inf>N<inf>2</inf>H<inf>16</inf>, with an extended γ-phase intercalated into organic amine
2004, Polyhedron
With a hydrothermal technique, a layered titanium phosphate with the formula Ti₂(H₂PO₄)(HPO₄)(PO₄)₂ · 0.5C₆N₂H₁₆ (denoted TP-J2) has been prepared by treating the Ti/H₃PO₄/H₂O/1-methylpiperazine system directly. The as-synthesized products were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, CP-MAS solid-state ³¹P NMR spectroscopy, thermogravimetric and differential thermal analyses (TG-DTA). The structure was solved by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis and it presents an extended γ-phase intercalated with organic amine. Crystal data: triclinic, $P \bar{1}$ , a = 8.106 (2) Å, b = 8.197 (2) Å, c = 11.658 (2) Å. α = 78.32 (3)°, β = 80.85 (3)°, γ = 77.90 (3)°, Z = 2. Additionally, the intercalation behavior of TP-J2 with n-alkyl monoamine (n = 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12) was investigated. Owing to the strong brønsted base, N,N′-dimethylpiperazine, resides in the interlayer, it presented unusual features of TP-J2 in contrast with that of γ-Tip.
Electrical conductivity of transition metal containing crystalline titanium phosphate materials
2003, Solid State Ionics
Based on earlier experience with γ-zirconium phosphate (γ-ZrP), we prepared the γ-titanium phosphate (γ-TiP) and it various transition metals containing forms. Their structure (identified by XRD), their thermal behaviour and their specific surface area are determined and their electrical resistance was measured.
On the basis of experimental data the monoclinic cell parameters for Co(II), Ni(II), Mn(II), Cu(II), and Zn(II) containing crystalline titanium phosphates were calculated. They showed characteristic thermal decomposition and have different specific conductivity at different temperature.
Determination of Formation Regions of Titanium Phosphates; Determination of the Crystal Structure ofβ-Titanium Phosphate, Ti(PO<inf>4</inf>)(H<inf>2</inf>PO<inf>4</inf>), from Neutron Powder Data
1998, Journal of Solid State Chemistry
The formation region of the various types of layered titanium hydrogen phosphate hydrates was investigated. The materials were prepared by hydrothermal methods, treating amorphous titanium phosphate with phosphoric acid (8 to 16M) in the temperature range 175 to 250°C. The materials obtained were:α-Ti(HPO₄)₂·H₂O,γ-Ti(PO₄)(H₂PO₄)·2H₂O, and its anhydrous formβ-Ti(PO₄)(H₂PO₄). The structure ofβ-Ti(PO₄)(H₂PO₄) has been determined by Rietveld powder refinement of high resolution neutron diffraction data. The structure is refined in the monoclinic space groupP2₁/n(No. 14). The unit cell parameters are:a=18.9503(4) Å,b=6.3127(1) Å,c=5.1391(1) Å,β=105.366(2)°;Z=4. The final agreement factors were:R_p=2.9% andR_wp=3.8%. The structure ofβ-Ti(PO₄)(H₂PO₄) is built from TiO₆octahedra linked together by tertiary phosphate (PO₄) and dihydrogen phosphate ((OH)₂PO₂) tetrahedra. The layers are held together by hydrogen bonds.
