Synthesis of Di- and trivalent. beta. -aluminas by ion exchange

Journal Article · · J. Solid State Chem.; (United States)
Many of the mono- di-, and trivalent cations in the periodic chart diffuse rapidly in the ..beta..-alumina structure. ..beta..-Aluminas containing multivalent cations can be synthesized by ion exchange reactions starting with the sodium form of the compound. These facile reactions make it possible to prepare a wide variety of ..beta..-alumina compositions, many of which are metastable and inaccessible by normal synthetic means. This paper describes the methods used to synthesize multivalent ..beta..-aluminas and the preparation of a number of specific transition metal and lanthanide forms of these compounds.
