Synthesis and properties of double copper(I)–nickel(II) sulfite

Resumo

Pourbaix diagrams of Cu–H₂SO4–H₂O and Ni–H₂SO₄–H₂O systems have been refined, and stability regions of the sulfite phases have been determined. State diagrams of double copper(I)–copper(II) and copper(I)–nickel(II) sulfites have been constructed. Double copper(I)–nickel(II) sulfite has been isolated from aqueous solutions saturated with sulfur dioxide. The solutions at different ratios of the metals have been studied by spectrophotometry; the isolated double sulfite has been studied by X-ray diffraction, IR spectroscopy, dispersion analysis, and thermal analysis. Fundamentals of thermodynamic prognostication of the Cu₂SO₃·MSO₃ double sulfites synthesis have been elaborated.
