Synthesis and properties of a copper(I) cobalt(II) double sulfite

Аннотация

The Pourbaix diagrams of the Cu–H₂SO₄–H₂O and Co–H₂SO₄–H₂O systems have been refined and the stability regions of sulfite phases in the diagrams have been identified. Phase diagrams of copper(I) copper( II) and copper(I) cobalt(II) double sulfites have been mapped out. The double sulfites Cu₂SO₃ · СuSO₃ and Cu₂SO₃ · СoSO₃ have been isolated from an aqueous solution saturated with sulfur dioxide. We have obtained electron paramagnetic resonance spectra of the double sulfite Cu₂SO₃ · СoSO₃ and characterized it by X-ray diffraction, IR spectroscopy, particle size analysis, and thermogravimetry. A foundation has been laid for the thermodynamic prediction of the synthesis of the Cu₂SO₃ · MSO₃ (M = Cu, Co) double sulfites.
