Popis: Chalcogenides TiSe1.60−x Tex (0 ≤ x ≤ 1.60), forming a continuous series of hexagonal solid solutions, were prepared by the direct ampule procedure. The thermal decomposition of TiSe1.60−x Tex was studied for the samples with x = 0, 0.16, 0.80, 1.44, and 1.60 in Ar and N2 atmospheres in the course of heating from 25 to 1000°C. The selenide undergoes no weight loss under Ar, in contrast to the telluride which disproportionates and loses weight owing to the formation of volatile TiTe2. At high temperatures, tellurides are more sensitive than selenides to the presence of nitrogen: The disproportionation is accompanied by the reaction of TiTe2 with N2, yielding low-volatile titanium nitride and free tellurium. Titanium selenide and telluride as components of the solid solutions behave similarly to the corresponding individual chalcogenides.
