Control of Oxidation States of Transition Elements (Cr,Mn) in Nitridometalates and the Solid Solution Series Li6(Ca1‐xSrx)2[Mn2N6]

The formation of ternary nitridometalates from the elements in the case of the systems Li—Cr, V, Mn—N leads to compounds which contain the transition metals in the highest (V^V, Cr^VI) or a comparably high (Mn^V) oxidation state. In the corresponding calcium and strontium systems, the transition metals show a lower oxidation state (V^III, Cr^III, Mn^III). Transition metals with intermediate oxidation states (Cr^V, Mn^IV) are present in the quaternary (mixed cation) compounds Li₄Sr₂[CrN₆], Li₆Ca₂[MnN₆], and Li₆Sr₂[MnN₆] (R3¯(#148), a = 585.9(3) pm, c = 1908.6(4) pm, Z = 3), as well as in the solid solution series Li₆(Ca_1—xSr_x)₂[MnN₆].     

Zur Kenntnis des Verhaltens der Oxidsulfate der Seltenen Erden gegen Chlorwasserstoff. II. Charakterisierung und thermisches Verhalten der Umsetzungsprodukte der Oxidsulfate mit Chlorwasserstoff

The reaction products of the oxide sulphates of rare earths with hydrogen chloride are mixtures of chlorides M^IIICl₃ and chloride-sulphates M^IIICl₃ and chloride-sulphates M^IIIClSO₄. By oxidation of these mixtures, oxide sulphates MO₂SO₄ are formed as final products. Intermediary products are mixtures of M^IIIOCl? M^IIIClSO₄.     

Beiträge zur Chemie des Phosphors. 162. MP19 (MI  Li,Na, K), die ersten Salze mit Nonadecaphosphid(3-)-Ionen

Contributions to the Chemistry of Phosphorus. 162. M P₁₉ (M^I ? Li, Na, K), the First Salts with Nonadecaphosphide (3-) Ions The nonadecaphosphides Li₃P₁₉, Na₃P₁₉, and K₃P₁₉ are formed besides other polyphosphides by the nucleophilic cleavage of white phosphorus with lithium dihydrogenphosphide or sodium and potassium, respectively. Li₃P₁₉ also results from the reaction of Li₃P₇ with white phosphorus or iodine or 1, 2-dibromoethane, as well as from the degradation of Li₂P₁₆ with lithium dihydrogenphosphide. According to 2D-³¹P-NMR-spectroscopic investigations the P₁₉^3? ion is a conjuncto-phosphane made up of a central P₅^? structural element and two Pg(3)^? unit groups analogous to deltacyclane. The nonadecaphosphides M₃^IP₁₉ are intermediates in the formation of hexadecaphosphides MP₁₆ from heptaphosphides MP₇.     

Heterogeneous surface saponification of suspension‐polymerized monodisperse poly(vinyl acetate) microspheres using various ions

Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAc) microspheres with a skin/core structure were prepared through the heterogeneous surface saponification of PVAc microspheres suspension‐polymerized. The PVA skin formed through the heterogeneous saponification was hydrogel swellable in water. In addition, to obtain monodisperse PVA/PVAc microspheres having various skin/core ratios and morphologies, the ion‐specificities to the heterogeneous saponification were investigated using SO, Cl^?, NO, Br^?, and I^? for anions and Li⁺, Na⁺, and K⁺ for cations, respectively. The ions were not specific significantly to the rate of the heterogeneous saponification, while were related to the degree of saponification (DS). DSs had different values between by weight loss (DS_w) and by proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (DS_NMR) measurements. The order of DS_ws was SO < Cl^? < NO < Br^? < I^? for anions and K⁺ < Na⁺ < Li⁺ for cations, and that of DS_NMRs, I^? < Br^? < NO < Cl^? < SO for anions and Li⁺ < Na⁺ < K⁺ for cations. The differences in values between DS_ws and DS_NMRs were caused by the dissolution of PVA skin and were significantly decreased for SO. The peaks at melting temperature of PVA were sharp and their areas were large for ions deswelling PVA skins.     

Neue Halogenozinkate(II) MZnX4 (MI = Li,Na; X = Cl,Br) mit Olivinstruktur

New Halogenozincates M ZnX₄ (M^I = Li, Na; X = Cl, Br) of Olivine Type The hitherto unknown tetrabromozincates Li₂ZnBr₄ and Na₂ZnBr₄ have been prepared. Quaternary halides Li₂Zn(Cl, Br)₄ and Li₂Zn(Br, I)₄ have been not obtained due to decomposition to mixtures of LiCl and ZnBr₂, and LiBr and ZnI₂. The crystal structures of the olivine-type bromides and of the high-temperature polymorph of Li₂ZnCl₄ have been determined by neutron powder diffraction using the Rietveld method (space group Pnma, Z = 4, a = 1 360.41(4), b = 788.47(2), c = 647.07(2) pm, R_I = 9.07% (Li₂ZnBr₄), a = 1 446.32(5), b = 853.02(3), c = 676.61(2) pm, R_I = 9.29% (Na₂ZnBr₄), a = 1 277.60(3), b = 741.76(2), c = 611.10(1) pm, R_I = 7.63% (Li₂ZnCl₄)). The Raman spectra as well as the results of thermal analyses (DSC) and conductivity measurements (impedance spectroscopy) are presented and discussed. Contrary to Li₂ZnCl₄, Li₂ZnBr₄ and Na₂ZnBr₄ do not undergo any phase transition between 20°C and their melting points.

A B^IIB □M O₂₄ with A^II, B^II = Ba, Sr, Ca and M^VI = U, W Perovskites of type Ba₈B^IIB₂^III□UO₂₄ show polymorphic phase transformations of order disorder type. An 1:1 ordered orthorhombic HT form is transformed into a higher ordered LT modification with a fourfold cell content (four formula units Ba₈B^IIB□U₄O₂₄), compared to cubic 1:1 ordered perovskites A₂BMO₆. In the series Ba₈BaB□W₄O₂₄ and Sr₈SrB□W₄O₂₄ different ordering phenomena are observed. In comparison with 1:1 ordered cubic perovskites A₂BMO₆, the cell contains eight formula units AB^IIB□W₄O₂₄. The higher ordered cells with U^VI and W^VI are face centered, which has its origin in an ordering of cationic vacancies.     

Zur Struktur der LiMIIMIIIF6-Verbindungen. Neue Verbindungen mit MIII=In und Ti

On the Structure of LiM^IIM^IIIF₆ Compounds. New Compounds with M^III=IN and Ti LiMn^IIInF₆ compounds with M^II = Mg, Mn, Co, Ni, Zn, Cd and Ca crystallize in the Na₂SiF₆ structure. The Ti(III) compound LiMgTiF₆ has trirutile structure, LiMnTiF₆ has Na₂SiF₆ and trirutile structure (H.-T. modification), LiCaTiF₆ and LiCdTiF₆ have Li₂ZrF₆ superstructure. With M^II = Co, Ni and Zn solid solutions trirutile — MF₂(rutile) could be only prepared. The lattice constants of all compounds are reported. For LiMnVF₆ and LiFeGaF₆ too dimorphism Na₂SiF₆ trirutile was observed. In the system LiNiCrF₆ (trirutile) — LiMnCrF₆ (Na₂SiF₆ structure) phase limits of both structures are determined in dependence on the ratio of ionic radii r/r. Magnetic data of the In compounds with M^II = Co and Ni and of the Ti(III) compounds with M^II = Mg, Zn, Mn, just as of α- and β-LiMnVF₆ are also given. The three structures only exist if r reaches from 0.6 to 1.2 Å and r from 0.5 to 0.8 Å. The stability-fields are determined by the ratio of ionic radii r/r_Li, r/r_Li and r/r: trirutile 0.9–1.2, Na₂SiF₆ type 1.2–～1.4 and Li₂ZrF₆ superstructure >1.4. The dependence of rate of ionic radii is explained by the different sharing of MF₆ octahedra.     

Neue Ternäre Silber(II)-fluoride: Ag3IIM2IVF14 (MIV = Zr,Hf)

New Ternary Silver (II) Fluorides: Ag M F₁₄ (M^IV = Zr, Hf) Single crystals of deeply blue violet coloured fluorides Ag₃^IIM₂^IVF₁₄ (M^IV = Zr, Hf) have been obtained by heating powder samples under F₂/N₂ (1:2) at T ≈? 600°C. The isotypic compounds crystallizes monoclinic with a = 924.9, b = 668.6, c = 907.3 pm, β = 90.30° (Ag₃Hf₂F₁₄) and a = 922.5, b = 667.6, c = 906.3 pm, β = 91.30° (Ag₃Zr₂F₁₄) (Four circle diffractometer data, Philips PW 1100), spcgr. C2/m-C_2h³ (No. 12), Z = 2. There are two different sorts of Ag²⁺:Ag(1) with coordination number C.N. [Ag(1)] = 4 + 2 and Ag(2) with C.N.[Ag(2)] = 4 + 4 against F^?. Ag(1) can be substituted by Cu²⁺, Ni²⁺, Zn²⁺, Mg²⁺ (all of blue/red violet colour), Ag(2) by Ca²⁺, Cd²⁺, Hg²⁺ (bright green). From (preliminary) powder data CuAg₂Zr₂F₁₄ with a = 912.3(4), b = 661.2(2), c = 899.4(2) pm, β = 90.70° (3) is isotypic, the other compounds seems to be of closely related type of structure.

The reaction mechanism of the formation of fluorophosphate ions in fluoride containing urea melts is discussed.     

Schwingungsspektren der Clusterverbindungen (M6X)X · 8 H2O,M = Nb,Ta; Xi = CI,Br; Xa = CI,Br, I

Vibrational Spectra of the Cluster Compounds (M₆X₁₂ⁱ) · 8H₂O, M = Nb, Ta; Xⁱ = Cl, Br; X^a = Cl, Br, I IR and, for the first time, Raman spectra at 80 K of the cluster compounds (M₆X)X · 8H₂O; M = Nb, Ta; Xⁱ = Cl, Br; X^a = Cl, Br, I, have been recorded, characterized by typical frequencies of the (M₆X) unit, which are only slightly influenced by the terminal X^a ligands. The most intense line with the depolarisation ≈? 0.2 in all Raman spectra is caused by inphase movement of all atoms and assigned to the symmetric metal-metal vibration v₁, observed for the clusters (Nb₆Cl) at 233–234, for (Nb₆Br) at 186–187, for (Ta₆Cl) at 199–203, and for (Ta₆Br) at 176–179 cm^?1. The IR spectra exhibit in the same series intense bands at 233, 204, 207, and 179 cm^?1, assigned to the antisymmetric metal-metal vibration. The metal-metal frequencies are significantly higher than discussed before. The tantalum clusters show on excitation with the krypton line 647.1 nm in the region of a d–d transition at 645 nm a resonance Raman effect with series of overtones and combination bands. In case of (Ta₆Br) another polarisized band is observed at 229 cm^?1 and assigned to the Ta? Brⁱ vibration v₂. From the progressions of v₁ and v₂ anharmonicity constants of about ?3 cm^?1 are calculated indicating a strong distortion of the potential curves.

Theoretical study of one‐electron bonds in a series of high‐spin lithium–beryllium–hydrogen clusters: “Valence shell single‐electron repulsion” rule and electron localization function analysis

A series of high‐spin clusters containing Li, H, and Be in which the valence shell molecular orbitals (MOs) are occupied by a single electron has been characterized using ab initio and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. A first type (⁵Li₂, ⁿ⁺¹LiH_n+ (n = 2–5), ⁸Li₂H) possesses only one electron pair in the lowest MO, with bond energies of ～3 kcal/mol. In a second type, all the MOs are singly occupied, which results in highly excited species that nevertheless constitute a marked minimum on their potential energy surface (PES). Thus, it is possible to design a larger panel of structures (⁸LiBe, ⁷Li₂, ⁸Li, ⁴LiH⁺, ⁶BeH, ⁿ⁺³LiH (n = 3, 4), ⁿ⁺²LiH (n = 4–6), ⁸Li₂H, ⁹Li₂H, ²²Li₃Be₃ and ²²Li₆H), single‐electron equivalent to doublet “classical” molecules ranging from CO to C₆H₆. The geometrical structure is studied in relation to the valence shell single‐electron repulsion (VSEPR) theory and the electron localization function (ELF) is analyzed, revealing a striking similarity with the corresponding structure having paired electrons. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Two further models are discussed.     

Laser ablation of AgSbS2 and cluster analysis by time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry

Thin films of AgSbS₂ are important for phase‐change memory applications. This solid is deposited by various techniques, such as metal organic chemical vapour deposition or laser ablation deposition, and the structure of AgSbS₂(s), as either amorphous or crystalline, is already well characterized. The pulsed laser ablation deposition (PLD) of solid AgSbS₂ is also used as a manufacturing process. However, the processes in plasma have not been well studied. We have studied the laser ablation of synthesized AgSbS₂(s) using a nitrogen laser of 337 nm and the clusters formed in the laser plume were identified. The ablation leads to the formation of various single charged ternary Ag_pSb_qS_r clusters. Negatively charged AgSbS, AgSb₂S, AgSb₂S, AgSb₂S and positively charged ternary AgSbS⁺, AgSb₂S⁺, AgSb₂S, AgSb₂S clusters were identified. The formation of several singly charged Ag⁺, Ag, Ag, Sb, Sb, S ions and binary Ag_pS_r clusters such as AgSb, Ag₃S^?, SbS (r = 1–5), Sb₂S^?, Sb₂S, Sb₃S (r = 1–4) and AgS, SbS⁺, SbS, Sb₂S⁺, Sb₂S, Sb₃S (r = 1–4), AgSb was also observed. The stoichiometry of the clusters was determined via isotopic envelope analysis and computer modeling. The relation of the composition of the clusters to the crystal structure of AgSbS₂ is discussed.

Über die Ordnung von BIII und MV in Perowskiten vom Typ ABIIIMVO6 (AII  Ba,Sr; MV  Sb,Nb, Ta)

On the Ordering of B^III and M^V in Perovskites of Type A B^IIIM^VO₆ (A^II ? Ba, Sr; M^V ? Sb, Nb, Ta) The perovskites Ba₂B^IIISbO₆ crystallize monoclinic (B^III ? La, Pr, Nd) and cubic (B^III ? Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Yb, Lu, Y) respectively. The Sr compounds, Sr₂B^IIISbO₆, have a monoclinic (B^III ? Nd, Sm, Eu, Dy), orthorhombic (B^III ? Yb, Lu, Y, Sc) or cubic (B^III ? In, Ga) perovskite structure. By intensity calculations and vibrational spectroscopic investigations deviations from a complete order between B^III and Sb^V are detectable. For perovskites Ba₂B^IIIM^VO₆ with M^V ? Nb, Ta the incompleteness of cationic order can be demonstrated as well.     

Neue Phosphate mit Eulytinstruktur,insbesondere Europium(II)-Verbindungen [1]

New Phosphates with Eulytine Structure, especially Europium(II) Compounds. A number of Eu(II) phosphates EuLn(PO₄)₃ have been prepared, where Ln? La, lanthanides, Y. All investigated compounds have colours from yellow to ockre and crystallize with the cubic structure of eulytine (Bi₄(SiO₄)₃). Eu(PO₄)₃ makes an exception, showing a lattice deformation to low symmetry. It converts to a cubic eulytine phase by partial oxydation. The peculiar run of the lattice constants of the Eu(II) compounds in the lanthanide series is compared with the behaviour of the analogous Sr, Pb, and Ba compounds. Moreover, the eulytine compounds Pb₃M^III(PO₄)₃ with M^III? V, Cr, Fe have been synthesized. Experiments with Ti^III yield solid solutions between Pb₃Ti^III(PO₄)₃ and Pb₇Ti^IV(PO₄)₆.
