Normal Spinel: The divalent A +2 ions occupy the tetrahedral voids, whereas the trivalent B +3 ions occupy the octahedral voids in the close packed arrangement of oxide ions. A normal spinel can be represented as: ( A +2 ) tet ( B +3 ) 2 oct O 4

The mineral spinel MgAl 2 O 4 has a normal spinel structure. In a normal spinel structure, the ions are in the following positions, where i, j, and k are arbitrary integers and δ, ε, and ζ are small real numbers (note that the unit cell can be chosen differently, giving different coordinates): [16]

2021年9月28日 · Examples of normal and inverse spinel structures: MgAl 2 O 4 is a normal spinel since both Mg 2 + and Al 3 + are non-transition metal ions and thus CFSE = 0. The more highly charged Al 3 + ion prefers the octahedral site, where it …

2013年3月25日 · For a normal spinel, the total CFSE wold be: $$\Delta_{T}(A)+2\Delta_{O}(B)=\Delta_{T}(A)+\Delta_{O}(B)+\Delta_{O}(B)$$ and for an inverse spinel $$\Delta_{O}(A)+\Delta_{T}(B)+\Delta_{O}(B)$$ with $\Delta_{T}$ being the tetrahedral and $\Delta_{O}$ being the octahedral splitting energy of $\ce{A^2+}$ and $\ce{B^3+}$, respectively.

EXAMPLES FOR SPINEL AND INVERSE SPINEL STRUCTURES. 1) MgAl 2 O 4 has normal spinel structure since both the divalent and trivalent ions are non transition metal ions. There is no question of CFSE. 2) Mn 3 O 4 is a normal spinel since the Mn 2+ ion is a high spin d 5 system with zero LFSE.

Considering that $\ce{Zn^2+}$ is $\mathrm{d}^{10}$, $\ce{Fe^3+}$ is $\mathrm{d^5}$, and $\ce{O^2-}$ is a weak field ligand, the CFSE values of both the normal and inverse spinel structures should b...

The spinel structure is formulated MM' 2 X 4, where M and M' are tetrahedrally and octahedrally coordinated cations, respectively, and X is an anion (typically O or F). The structure is named after the mineral MgAl 2 O 4, and oxide spinels have the general formula AB 2 O 4. In the normal spinel structure, there is a close-packed array of anions ...

Tolerance factor for the normal-spinel structure is introduced as a structural descriptor to predict the phase stability. It is derived following similar principles as those of perovskite and garnet structures, i.e., the geometrical relationship between multitype polyhedra.

Structure of Normal Spinels (AB 2 O 4): The divalent AII ions occupy the tetrahedral voids, whereas the trivalent BIII ions occupy the octahedral voids in the close packed arrangement of oxide ions. A normal spinel can be represented as: (AII)tet(BIII) 2 octO 4 E.g. MgAl 2 O 4 (known as spinel), Mn 3 O 4, ZnFe 2 O 4, FeCr 2 O 4 (chromite)

2010年9月1日 · Spinel is the name given to the mineral MgAl 2 O 4. It has a common structural arrangement shared by many oxides of the transition metals with formula AB 2 O 4 .
