Abstract

Data on the phases and transformations in the iron oxide -water systems are collected. Measurements of the unit cells of B-FeOOH (tetragonal, 14/m(?) , with a = 10.48 and c = 3.n18 A) and d-FeOOH (hexagonal, P312, with a = 2.941 and c = 4.58 A) are reported together with observations on their structures. The modes of oxidation and dehydration of Fe(OH)2 have been studied and two of the intermediate green complexes (with 4 and 9 sheets of hexagonally packed O or OH ions) have been isolated. The oriented decomposition of FeCO3 to FeO and Fe3O4 is also described.
