Abstract

For the CeOC system it is established by X-ray analyses and hydrolytic studies that no discrete cerium oxide-carbides exist in argon arc melted preparations. At lower temperatures the existence of a series of oxide-carbides of cerium based on isomorphous replacement of oxide ions by C2 2- ions in the reduced cerium oxides is established. One hexagonal oxide-carbide pf composition CeO1.48(C2)0.07 has been isolated from the products of the cerium metal plus carbon monoxide reaction at 1300-1600° and is described. A discrete orthorhombic oxide-carbide phase Ce4O2C2 has also been isolated from the Ce + CO reaction which cannot be described on an isomorphous oxide ion replacement model. It is established by hydrolysis that neither of these phases contains C1 units in its structure.
