Abstract:
The I− ion conduction was demonstrated and quantified in the La0.70Sr0.25Zn0.05OI0.70 solid. The I− ion is considered to be an inferior conductor because of its large ionic size compared to the previously reported conducting ion species. Using modified Tubandt electrolysis, a weight increase at the anodic pellet and a corresponding weight decrease at the cathodic pellet were observed. The weight changes were in good agreement with the theoretical values estimated by considering pure I− ion migration. Furthermore, the iodine element appeared at the anode, and the iodine concentration at the cathode decreased after electrolysis, indicating that the migrating species was only I−. This is the first study to elucidate the conduction of iodide ions in solids.

Most monatomic ions behave as charged spheres, and their attraction for ions of opposite charge is the same in every direction. Consequently, stable structures for ionic compounds result (1) when ions of one charge are surrounded by as many ions as possible of the opposite...

02:45Alkyl Halides
Alkyl halides are halogen-substituted alkanes wherein one or more hydrogen atoms of an alkane is replaced by a halogen atom such as fluorine, chlorine, bromine, or iodine. The carbon atom in an alkyl halide is bonded to the halogen atom, which is sp3-hybridized and exhibits a tetrahedral shape.
Unlike alkyl halides, compounds in which a halogen atom is bonded to an sp2 -hybridized carbon atom of a carbon-carbon double bond (C=C) are called vinyl halides. Whereas aryl...

Molecular Solids
Molecular crystalline solids, such as ice, sucrose (table sugar), and iodine, are solids that are composed of neutral molecules as their constituent units. These molecules are held together by weak intermolecular forces such as London dispersion forces, dipole-dipole interactions, or hydrogen bonds, which...
