Abstract

The thermal decomposition reactions of silver chromate, Ag2CrO4 were studied in N2 atmosphere and air in the temperature range 293–1293 K. On the basis of the weight loss, infrared spectra, X-ray diffraction and scanning spectroscopy measurements the decomposition scheme of the compound has been proposed and the activation energy,E a calculated. Digital filter enhanced electronic spectroscopy was used for the estimation of the band positions in the spectra of Ag2CrO4 and CuCrO4, particularly for those corresponding to oxygen-chromium electron transfer. Attempt has been made to elucidate the correlation between thermal and spectral data.

Zusammenfassung

In einer Stickstoff- und in einer Luftatmosphäre wurden im Temperaturbereich 293–1293 K die thermischen Zersetzungsreaktionen von Silberchromat Ag2CrO4 bestimmt. Anhand der prozentuellen Gewichtsverluste, der IR-Spektren, von Röntgendiffraktions- und Scanning-Spektroskopiemessungen wurde ein Zersetzungs-schema für diese Verbindung entwickelt und die Aktivierungsenergie Ea berechnet. Mittels Elektronenspektroskopie mit Digitalfilterung wurden die Bandenpositionen in den Spektren für Ag2CrO4 und CuCrCO4 geschätzt, besonders für diejenigen Banden, die dem Sauerstoff-Chrom Elektronentransfer entsprechen. Weiterhin wurde versucht, eine Beziehung zwischen thermischen und Spektraldaten zu finden.
