New Layered Materials in the K–In–Ge–As System: K8In8Ge5As17and K5In5Ge5As14

Exploratory synthesis in the K–In–Ge–As system has yielded the unusual layered compounds K₈In₈Ge₅As₁₇(1) and K₅In₅Ge₅As₁₄(2), both of which contain In–Ge–As layers with interleaved potassium ions, Ge–Ge bonds, InAs₄tetrahedra, As–As bonds, and rows of Ge₂As₆dimers. Compound 1 has As₃groups, while compound 2 has infinite As ribbons on both faces of each layer. Unlike compound 1, compound 2 has substitutional defects where indium partially occupies each of the three independent germanium sites in the ratio of 1:5 for In:Ge. This partial occupancy makes 2 an electron-precise compound. The Ge(In)–Ge(In) bond of 2 is longer than the Ge–Ge bond of 1, and this bond lengthening effect was confirmed by performing DFT-MO calculations on the model compounds H₃Ge–GeH₃and H₃Ge–InH⁻₃. Possible implications of electron imprecise formulas determined by X-ray crystal structure determinations are discussed. Compound 1: space groupP2₁/cwitha=18.394 (8) Å,b=19.087 (7) Å,c=25.360 (3) Å,β=105.71 (2)°,V=8571 (4) ų, andD_calcd=4.45g/cm³forZ=4. Refinement on 4455 reflections yieldedR(R_w)=6.8%(7.8%). Compound 2: space groupC2/mwitha=40.00 (1) Å,b=3.925 (2) Å,c=10.299 (3),β=99.97 (2)°,V=1592 (1) ų, andD_calcd= 4.55g/cm³forZ=8. Refinement on 1206 reflections yieldedR(R_w)=5.6% (5.7%).     

Two layered gallophosphates assembled about the chiral metal complexes: Co(en)3·Ga3P4O16·5H2O and trans−Co(dien)2·Ga3P4O16·3H2O

Two new layered gallophosphates Co(en)₃·Ga₃P₄O₁₆·5H₂O (1) and trans-Co(dien)₂·Ga₃P₄O₁₆·3H₂O (2) have been hydrothermally synthesized using the racemic mixture of chiral metal complex Co(en)₃Cl₃ and Co(dien)₂Cl₃ as the structure-directing agent, respectively. Their structures are determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis and further characterized by X-ray power diffraction, ICP, elemental, and TG analyses. The structures of 1 and 2 consist of vertex-linking GaO₄ and PO₃(=O) tetrahedral units forming macroanionic [Ga₃P₄O₁₆]³⁻ sheets with a 4.6-net. The 4.6-net is characteristic of chiral [3.3.3] propellane-like structural motifs. The sheets of 1 stack in an ABAB sequence, with a pair of enantiomers of chiral Co(en)₃³⁺ cations residing in the interlayer region. The sheets of 2 array in a helical fashion with an ABCDEF stacking sequence, with only one enantiomer of chiral Co(dien)₂³⁺ cations residing in the interlayer region. Structural elucidation of 1 and 2 reveals that there exist stereo-specific correspondence between the metal complex template and the structure of the inorganic host. Crystal data: 1, Co(en)₃·Ga₃P₄O₁₆·5H₂O, orthorhombic, Pnna (No. 52), a=8.6618(2) Å, b=21.6071(5) Å, c=13.7426(4) Å, Z=4, R₁=0.0337 (I>2σ(I)), wR₂=0.0985 (all data); 2, Co(dien)₂·Ga₃P₄O₁₆·3H₂O, hexagonal, P6₅22 (No. 179), a=8.5152(7) Å, b=8.5152(7) Å, c=63.278(8) Å, R₁=0.1183 (I>2σ(I)), wR₂=0.2864 (all data) and Z=6.     

Système ternaire : H2O–Fe(NO3)3–Co(NO3)2 isotherme : 30 °C

Ternary system: H₂O–Fe(NO₃)₃–Co(NO₃)₂ isotherm: 30 °C. The H₂O–Co(NO₃)₂ binary system has been investigated in the –28 to 50 °C temperature range. The solid–liquid equilibria of the ternary system H₂O–Fe(NO₃)₃–Co(NO₃)₂ were studied by using a synthetic method based on conductivity measurements. One isotherm is established at 30 °C, and the stable solid phases that appear are iron nitrate nonahydrate: Fe(NO₃)₃·9 H₂O, iron nitrate hexahydrate: Fe(NO₃)₃·6 H₂O, cobalt nitrate hexahydrate: Co(NO₃)₂·6 H₂O, and cobalt nitrate trihydrate: Co(NO₃)₂·3 H₂O.

Investigation of the quasi-ternary system LaMnO3-LaCoO3-“LaCuO3”—I: the series La(Mn0.5Co0.5)1−xCuxO3−δ

The La(Mn_0.5Co_0.5)_1−xCu_xO_3−δ series with x=0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 and 1 was synthesized by the Pechini method to obtain insight into the phase formation in the quasi-ternary LaMnO₃-LaCoO₃-“LaCuO₃” system caused by the instability of LaCuO₃ under ambient conditions. After sintering at 1100°C some remarkable results were obtained: LaMn_0.3Co_0.3Cu_0.4O_3−δ crystallized as a single phase in the orthorhombic perovskite structure typical of LaCuO₃. Among the synthesized compositions this compound showed the highest electrical conductivity in air at 800°C (155 S cm⁻¹) and also the highest thermal expansion coefficient (α_30−800°C=15.4×10⁻⁶ K⁻¹). The LaCuO_3−δ composition also crystallized as a single phase but in a monoclinic structure although previous investigations have shown that other phases are preferably formed after sintering at 1100°C. The electrical conductivity and thermal expansion coefficient were the lowest within the series of compositions, i.e. 9.4 S cm⁻¹ and 11.9×10⁻⁶ K⁻¹, respectively.     

Pyrochlore “dynamic spin-ice” Pr2Sn2O7 and monoclinic Pr2Ti2O7: A comparative temperature-dependent Raman study

Here we report a temperature-dependent Raman study of the pyrochlore “dynamic spin-ice” compound Pr₂Sn₂O₇ and compare the results with its non-pyrochlore (monoclinic) counterpart Pr₂Ti₂O₇. In addition to phonon modes, we observe two bands associated with electronic Raman scattering involving crystal field transitions in Pr₂Sn₂O₇ at ∼135 and 460 cm⁻¹ which couple strongly to phonons. Anomalous temperature dependence of phonon frequencies that are observed in pyrochlore Pr₂Sn₂O₇ are absent in monoclinic Pr₂Ti₂O₇. This, therefore, confirms that the strong phonon-phonon anharmonic interactions, responsible for the temperature-dependent anomalous behavior of phonons, arise due to the inherent vacant sites in the pyrochlore structure.     

Phase relations in the system K2MoO4–KPO3–MoO3–Bi2O3: A new phosphate K3Bi5(PO4)6

Phase equilibrium in the pseudo-quaternary system K₂O–MoO₃–P₂O₅–Bi₂O₃ was studied as three-component solvent K₂MoO₄–KPO₃–MoO₃ containing 15 mol% Bi₂O₃ during slow cooling and spontaneous crystallization. The results of the investigation were shown on a composition diagram, which indicates the crystallization fields of K₂Bi(PO₄)(MoO₄), K₅Bi(MoO₄)₄, BiPO₄ and K₃Bi₅(PO₄)₆. New phosphate K₃Bi₅(PO₄)₆ was characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction (space group C2/c, a=17.680(4), b=6.9370(14), c=18.700(4) Å, β=113.79(3)°) and FTIR spectroscopy. The possibility of lone electron pair stereoactivity of bismuth was suggested using the calculations of characteristics of the Voronoi–Dirichlet polyhedra for K₃Bi₅(PO₄)₆ and K₂Bi(PO₄)(MoO₄).     

SrFe0.6Cu0.3Ti0.1O3-δ混合导体透氧材料的稳定性

利用柠檬酸络合法制备了SrFe(Cu,Ti)O_3-δ混合导体透氧材料。 采用XRD、O₂-TPD、H₂-TPR、SEM等测试技术考察了材料的稳定性。 结果表明,SrFe_0.7Cu_0.3O_3-δ在低氧压下会发生相分解,产生SrCuO₂杂相,而掺杂Ti后的SrFe_0.6Cu_0.3Ti_0.1O_3-δ在低氧压下保持单一的钙钛矿结构。 H₂-TPR和O₂-TPD的测试表明,Ti⁴⁺的掺杂提高了材料的氧脱附起始温度和其它金属离子的还原温度。 SrFe_0.6Cu_0.3Ti_0.1O_3-δ膜在透氧过程中,会有Cu²⁺和Sr²⁺从钙钛矿结构中析出,在原晶粒边界形成新的小晶粒,但这种轻微的组分偏析没有影响到材料的透氧量,此透氧膜在66 h的操作过程中显示了良好的稳定性。     

A Vanadium (V) Hydroxymonophosphate Hydrate with a “Tape-Like” structure: K3(VO2)2PO4PO3OH·H2O

A new vanadium (V) hydroxymonophosphate hydrate, K₃(VO₂)₂PO₄PO₃OH·H₂O, with a “tape-like” structure has been synthesized. This compound crystallizes in the space group P2₁/c with a=5.099(1) Å, b=29.168(3) Å, c=8.115(1) Å, β=91.65(1)°. Its structure consists of [V₂P₂O₁₁OH]_∞ ribbons built up of corner-sharing VO₅ pyramids, PO₄, and PO₃OH tetrahedra, interleaved with K⁺ ions and H₂O molecules. In spite of its unidimensional character, this structure forms pentagonal tunnels. Relationships with frameworks involving tetragonal tunnels are studied.     

The role of TiO2 in the B2O3–Na2O–PbO–Al2O3 glass system

Optical and vibrational studies have been carried out on 60B₂O₃·(20−x)Na₂O·10PbO·10Al₂O₃:xTiO₂ (x=0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 mol%) glasses, in order to understand the role of TiO₂ in the 60B₂O₃·20Na₂O·10PbO·10Al₂O₃ glass matrix. The X-ray patterns reveal homogeneous glasses over the entire compositional range. The absorption spectra show that the energy of the optical band gap (ΔE_opt) and Urbach's energy (E_U) decreases as TiO₂ content increases. The changes observed in the Raman and IR spectra are related to the BO₄→BO₃ back conversion effect and the appearance of “loose” BO₄⁻ groups. The data indicate that titanium ions act as a network modifier.

Gd2O3:Yb3+,Nd3+,Tm3+/SiO2/Ag纳米复合材料的合成及上转换发光性质

通过多步骤的化学法合成了Gd_2O_3:Yb~(3+),Nd~(3+),Tm~(3+)/SiO_2/Ag纳米复合材料。利用XRD,TEM,EDS,XPS,CLSM等方法对样品进行表征。实验结果表明,具有低声子能、稳定的化学性质的Gd2O3作为上转换发光的基质,当掺杂的敏化剂Nd3+离子浓度为1.0%(n/n),激活剂离子Tm3+浓度为0.5%(n/n)时,上转换发光强度达到最大值。此外,表面吸附的Ag纳米颗粒,由于表面等离激元共振耦合作用,使得上转换发光蓝光波段的强度增强1.70倍。

采用高温熔融法制备了Tm³⁺/Er³⁺/Ho³⁺共掺的铋硅酸盐50SiO₂-40Bi₂O₃-5AlF₃-5BaF₂玻璃。研究了在808 nm激光器（Laser Diode）激发下Tm³⁺/Er³⁺/Ho³⁺共掺的铋硅酸盐在2 060 nm处的发光性能,同时测试及分析了该铋硅酸盐玻璃的差热特性、吸收光谱及荧光光谱。根据吸收光谱以及Judd-Oflet理论,计算了Ho³⁺的Judd-Oflet强度参数Ω_t（t=2,4,6）以及Tm³⁺/Er³⁺/Ho³⁺相应的吸收截面。铋硅酸盐玻璃中,Tm₂O₃、Er₂O₃和Ho2O3掺杂浓度分别为0.75%、1.0%和0.5%时,2 060 nm处Ho³⁺∶⁵I₇→⁵I₈发射峰强度达到最大。对Tm³⁺/Er³⁺/Ho³⁺ 3种离子的光谱性质和离子间可能存在的能量传递也做了分析。Ho³⁺在1 953 nm处的最大吸收截面σ_abs为9.08×10^-21 cm²,在2 060 nm处的最大发射截面σem为11.68×10^-21 cm²,辐射寿命τ_mea为2.75 ms,具有良好的增益效应σ_emτ（3.212×10^-20 cm^-2·ms）。     

Subsolidus phase equilibria and properties in the system Bi2O3:Mn2O3±x:Nb2O5

Subsolidus phase relations have been determined for the Bi-Mn-Nb-O system in air (750-900 °C). Phases containing Mn²⁺, Mn³⁺, and Mn⁴⁺ were all observed. Ternary compound formation was limited to pyrochlore (A₂B₂O₆O′), which formed a substantial solid solution region at Bi-deficient stoichiometries (relative to Bi₂(Mn,Nb)₂O₇) suggesting that ≈14-30% of the A-sites are occupied by Mn (likely Mn²⁺). X-ray powder diffraction data confirmed that all Bi-Mn-Nb-O pyrochlores form with structural displacements, as found for the analogous pyrochlores with Mn replaced by Zn, Fe, or Co. A structural refinement of the pyrochlore 0.4000:0.3000:0.3000 Bi₂O₃:Mn₂O_3±x:Nb₂O₅ using neutron powder diffraction data is reported with the A and O′ atoms displaced (0.36 and 0.33 Å, respectively) from ideal positions to 96g sites, and with Mn²⁺ on A-sites and Mn³⁺ on B-sites (Bi_1.6Mn²⁺_0.4(Mn³⁺_0.8Nb_1.2)O₇, (?227), a=10.478(1) Å); evidence of A or O′ vacancies was not found. The displacive disorder is crystallographically analogous to that reported for Bi_1.5Zn_0.92Nb_1.5O_6.92, which has a similar concentration of small B-type ions on the A-sites. EELS spectra for this pyrochlore were consistent with an Mn oxidation between 2+ and 3+. Bi-Mn-Nb-O pyrochlores exhibited overall paramagnetic behavior with negative Curie-Weiss temperature intercepts, slight superparamagnetic effects, and depressed observed moments compared to high-spin, spin-only values. At 300 K and 1 MHz the relative dielectric permittivity of Bi_1.600Mn_1.200Nb_1.200O₇ was ≈128 with tan δ=0.05; however, at lower frequencies the sample was conductive which is consistent with the presence of mixed-valent Mn. Low-temperature dielectric relaxation such as that observed for Bi_1.5Zn_0.92Nb_1.5O_6.92 and other bismuth-based pyrochlores was not observed. Bi-Mn-Nb-O pyrochlores were readily obtained as single crystals and also as textured thin films using pulsed laser deposition.     

Optisch aktive übergangsmetall-komplexe : XVIII. Über die reaktion von C5H5Co(CO)(C3F7)j mit isonitrilen

In the reaction of C₅H₅Co(CO)(C₃F₇)I with isonitriles in the molár ratio $\text{1}\text{1}$ the brown complexes C₅H₅Co(CNR)(C₃F₇)I are formed. The fluorine atoms of the α-CF₂ groups are diastereotopic because of the asymmetric center at the Co atom. With (—)-α-phenylethylisonitrile a pair of diastereoisomers is obtained which could not be separated.C₅H₅Co(CO)(C₃F₇)I and C₅H₅Co(CNR)(C₃F₇)I react with excess isonitrile with the formation of benzene soluble, yellow salts [C₅H₅Co(CNR)₂(C₃F₇)]⁺I^?, which can be transformed into the corresponding PF^?₆ salts. The new compounds were characterised by C, H, N, Co analyses, molecular weight determinations, IR, ¹H NMR, ¹⁹F NMR, ¹³C NMR, ESCA and mass spectra.     

New results in the ammonolysis of hexafluoro-cyclo-triphosphazene: Crystal structure of P3N3F5–NH–P3N3F4NH2

The reaction of hexafluoro-cyclo-triphosphazene P₃N₃F₆ with ammonia in acetonitrile has been studied. New compounds, (2-imino-2,4,4,6,6-pentafluoro-2λ⁵,4λ⁵,6λ⁵-cyclo-triphosphaza-1,3,5-trienyl)-2-amino-4,4,6,6-tetrafluoro-2λ⁵,4λ⁵,6λ⁵-cyclo-triphosphaza-1,3,5-triene, P₃N₃F₅–NH–P₃N₃F₄NH₂ (2) and cis and trans isomers of non-gem-2,4-diamino-2,4,6,6-tetrafluoro-2λ⁵,4λ⁵,6λ⁵-cyclo-triphosphaza-1,3,5-triene, P₃N₃F₄(NH₂)₂ (4, 5)_, were detected by GC/MS, and ³¹P NMR spectroscopy in reaction mixtures. X-ray diffraction analysis of P₃N₃F₅–NH–P₃N₃F₄NH₂ (2) revealed two conformational polymorphs, 2A and 2B, the latter being built up of two different conformers that were further denoted as 2B_a (the same as the single conformer in 2A) and 2B_b. The compound 2 was characterized by spectroscopic methods and its 2D potential energy surface (PES) was described by density functional theory computations depending on two dihedral angles. The calculated PES spans over 30 kJ/mol in energy including 8 local minima and all first and second order saddle points. The occurrence of the two experimentally observed conformers 2B_a and 2B_b seems to be governed by crystal packing effects.     

绿色荧光粉Ca3Y2Si3O12:Tb3+,Ce3+的制备及发光特性

CnSH±与CnS±2的碰撞诱导解离研究

On a home-made crossed ion-molecular beam tandem time-of-flight mass spectrometer, carbon cluster ions with two hetero-atoms, CnSH± and CnS2±, were produced from laser ablation, mass-selected, and collided with pulsed nitrogen beam. From mass analysis of the fragment ions, structures of the cluster ions were characterized as linear, with two hetero-atoms locating on both ends of the carbon chain. The experimental results also revealed the main dissociation channel of the cluster ions. According to the results, for most cluster ions studied in the experiment, the weakest bond is the C-C bond next to the sulfur atom, but in some smaller cluster ions, S-C bond is easier to break. Under the experimental condition, cluster ions may suffer multiple collisions, so fragment ions produced from stepwise dissociation process were observed.
