Determination of the enthalpies of formation of some platinum antimonides and their phase diagrams under standard conditions

Abstract

Using the method of direct synthesis calorimetry, we determined the standard enthalpy of formation of PtSb (stumpflite), Δ_fH°_298.15 (PtSb, cr) =–105.16 ± 0.84 kJ/mol and PdSb₂ (geversite), Δ_fH°_298.15 (PtSb₂,cr) =–160.92 ± 0.84 kJ/mol. Isothermal (298.15 K, p = 1 bar) phase diagrams were computed for the Pt–Sb–S and Pt–Sb–O ternary systems in the coordinates composition of the Pt–Sb binary system versus fugacity of a gaseous volatile component (O₂, S₂).
