Structural transition of Friedel's salt 3CaO dot Al2O3 dot CaCl2 dot 10H2 O studied by synchrotron powder diffraction
The structural phase transition occurring in Friedel's salt, the chlorinated compound 3CaO dot Al2O3 dot CaCl2 dot 10H2 O (AFm phase), was studied by synchrotron and standard X-ray powder diffraction. The compound transforms at 35 degree C from a rhombohedral (rh) high-temperature (HT) phase (R-3c; a=5.744(2) A, c=46.890(3) A) to a monoclinic (m) low-temperature (LT) phase (C2/c; a=9.960(4) A, b=5.7320(2) A, c=16.268(7) A, beta=104.471(2) degree). The LT and HT phases were refined with the Rietveld method from synchrotron data recorded at 20 and 40 degree C. Variations of the lattice parameters as a function of temperature are reported between 8 and 48 degree C. The rh --> m transition is characterized by a unit cell volume expansion of 1% and a movement of the interlayer species: a shift of 0.45 A of the Cl- anions along (0 1 0)h and a shift of 0.25 A of the water molecules along (2 1 0)h of the hexagonal cell. The m phase distortion is due to an ordering of the hydrogen bonds between chloride anions and H-atoms of the water molecules.
