Determination of the atomization energies of the gaseous molecules Nb/sub 2/O/sub 4/, Nb/sub 2/O/sub 5/, Nb/sub 4/O/sub 9/, and Nb/sub 4/O/sub 10/
The complex gaseous niobium oxide molecules Nb/sub 2/O/sub 4/, Nb/sub 2/O/sub 5/, Nb/sub 4/O/sub 9/, and Nb/sub 4/O/sub 10/ were identified for the first time in a Knudsen cell-mass spectrometric study of the vapors in equilibrium over a condensed phase resulting from extensive vaporization of lithium niobate with lithium depletion. These molecules were characterized thermochemically from the study of several all-gas equilibria. The resulting atomization energies are ..delta..H/sup 0//sub 0,at/(Nb/sub 2/O/sub 4/) = 3322 +- 45 kJ mol/sup -1/; ..delta..H/sup 0//sub 0,at/(Nb/sub 2/O/sub 5/) = 3910 +- 59 kJ mol/sup -1/; ..delta..H/sup 0//sub 0,at/(Nb/sub 4/O/sub 9/) = 7958 +- 82 kJ mol/sup -1/; ..delta..H/sup 0//sub 0,at/(Nb/sub 4/O/sub 10/) = 8595 +- 71 kJ mol/sup -1/. The corresponding standard heats of formation are ..delta..H/sup 0//sub f//sub ,298/(Nb/sub 2/O/sub 4/,g) = -909 +- 45 kJ mol/sup -1/; ..delta..H/sup 0//sub f//sub ,298/(Nb/sub 2/O/sub 5/,g) = -1252 +- 59 kJ mol/sup -1/; ..delta..H/sup 0//sub f//sub ,298/(Nb/sub 4/O/sub 9/,g) = -2889 +- 82 kJ mol/sup -1/; ..delta..H/sup 0//sub f//sub ,298/(Nb/sub 4/O/sub 10/,g) = -3281 +- 71 kJ mol/sup -1/.
