Recombination energy of N22+

The recombination energy of N₂²⁺ has been computed using N₂²⁺, N₂²⁺ and N₂ potential curves from the literature. Vibrational overlaps and energies liberated in the various N₂²⁺³∑^?_g,¹∑_g⁺, ³Π_u, ¹Π_u → N₂⁺(X²∑⁺_g, A ²∑⁺_g, A ²Π_u, B²∑_u⁺,C²∑_u⁺) vibronic transitions have been computed and used as input for determination of the N₂⁺ recombination energy.     

Rotational analysis of the 201 and 211 bands in the Ã2Σ+-X̃ 2Π spectrum of N2O+

Analysis of new emission spectra of òΣ⁺-X? ²Π in N₂O⁺, including the forbidden components with Δν₂ = 1, have made it possible to locate all four vibronic components of the ν″₂ = 1 manifold. Principal rotational constants and spinvibronic terms are given. A previous estimate of the Renner parameter is revised to a value of ?0.179 ± 0.002.     

Photodissociation of the dimer ions Ar+2, Ne+2, and (CO2)+2

The tandem quadrupole photodissociation mass spectrometer has been used to study photodissociation reactions of Ar⁺₂, Ne⁺₂, and (CO₂)⁺₂. The cross sections for photodissociation of Ar⁺₂ exhibited a strong dependence on ion source pressure, varying from 2 × 10 ^?18cm² at 0.1 torr to 6 × 10^?19cm² at 0.5 torr. A large photodissociation cross section (2 × 10^?17cm² for the reaction (CO₂)⁺₂ → CO⁺₂+ CO₂ was observed at the red end of the visible spectrum (580–620 nm) suggesting that this may be an important reaction in CO₂ rich planetary ionspheres such as that of Mars.     

Luminescence in near-thermal charge exchange. III. CH(+) and CD(+) A → X emission from He+ C2H2 and He+ + C2D2

A pulsed ICR cell fitted with synchronous photon counting equipment is used to investigate the emission produced between 185 and 500 nm by near-thermal charge exchange between He⁺ and C₂H₂ (C₂D₂). The emission bands observed are A ²Δ → X²π and (weakly) B²Σ^? → X²π in CH(CD) and A ¹π → X¹Σ in CH⁺(CD⁺). Wavelength measurements on the bandheads of the (0,0) and (0,1) bands of CD⁺ A → X are used to evaluate vibrational constants of CH⁺(CD⁺) X¹Σ⁺. The results are (in cm^?1): ω_e = 2869 ± 27 (2106 ± 20); ω_eχ_e = 65 ± 13 (35 ± 7). These constants are used to calculate Morse-potential Franck—Condon factors and vibrational branching ratios for CH⁺ and CD⁺ A → X emission. The spectral distributions and the (relatively low) absolute emission rates produced by He⁺/C₂H₂(C₂D₂) charge exchange are briefly discussed in the light of presently available information on the charge transfer reaction and on the excited states of C₂H_2?⁺     

Solubility of (UO2)3(PO4)2?4H2O in H+-Na+-OH?-H2PO?4-HPO2?4-PO3?4-H2O and Its Comparison to the Analogous PuO2 +2 System

The objectives of this study were to address uncertainties in the solubility product of (UO₂)₃(PO₄)₂⋅4H₂O(c) and in the phosphate complexes of U(VI), and more importantly to develop needed thermodynamic data for the Pu(VI)-phosphate system in order to ascertain the extent to which U(VI) and Pu(VI) behave in an analogous fashion. Thus studies were conducted on (UO₂)₃(PO₄)₂⋅4H₂O(c) and (PuO₂)₃(PO₄)₂⋅4H₂O(am) solubilities for long-equilibration periods (up to 870 days) in a wide range of pH values (2.5 to 10.5) at fixed phosphate concentrations of 0.001 and 0.01 M, and in a range of phosphate concentrations (0.0001–1.0 M) at fixed pH values of about 3.5. A combination of techniques (XRD, DTA/TG, XAS, and thermodynamic analyses) was used to characterize the reaction products. The U(VI)-phosphate data for the most part agree closely with thermodynamic data presented in Guillaumont et al.,⁽¹⁾ although we cannot verify the existence of several U(VI) hydrolyses and phosphate species and we find the reported value for formation constant of UO₂PO⁻₄ is in error by more than two orders of magnitude. A comprehensive thermodynamic model for (PuO₂)₃(PO₄)₂⋅4H₂O(am) solubility in the H⁺-Na⁺-OH⁻-Cl⁻-H₂PO⁻₄-HPO²⁻₄-PO³⁻₄-H₂O system, previously unavailable, is presented and the data shows that the U(VI)-phosphate system is an excellent analog for the Pu(VI)-phosphate system.     

Preparation and reactivity of the new cyclopentadienyl-bridged complex (Me2SiCH2CH2SiMe2)(C5H4Fe(CO)2)2

A new metal-metal bonded binuclear iron system [Me₂SiCH₂CH₂SiMe₂][η⁵-C₅H₄Fe(CO)₂]₂ (2) has been prepared by treating two equivalents of NaCp with one equivalent of ClSi(Me)₂CH₂CH₂SiClMe₂ obtaining the intermediate (C₅H₅)Si(Me)₂CH₂CH₂Si(Me)₂(C₅H₅) which then is directly allowed to react with Fe(CO)₅ given 2 in 30% yield. From this cyclopentadienyldisilyl linked system three new binuclear irom complexes are formed. Treatment of 2 with Na/Hg in THF produced the dianion [Me₂SiCH₂CH₂SiMe₂][η⁵-C₅H₄Fe(CO)₂^?]₂ which is quenched with CH₃I giving [Me₂SiCH₂CH₂SiMe₂][η⁵-C₄H₄Fe(CO)₂CH₃]₂ (4) in 76% yield. Complex 2 is oxidized with 1.2 equivalent of I₂ to give [Me₂SiCH₂CH₂SiMe₂][η⁵-C₅H₄Fe(CO)₂I]₂ (5) in 85% yield. Photolysis of 5 (1 equiv.) and PPh₃ (3 equiv.) results in the formation of the bis-substituted compound [Me₂SiCH₂CH₂SiMe₂][η⁵-C₅H₄Fe(CO)(PPh₃)I]₂ (6). These four new binuclear iron complexes are characterized by ¹H, ¹³C, and ³¹P NMR and IR spectroscopy.

Structure of uranyl complexes with acetylenedicarboxylic acid, K(H5O2)[UO2(OOCC≡CCOO)2 · H2O] · 2H2O and Cs2[UO2(OOCC≡CCOO)2 · H2O] · 2H2O

Uranyl complexes with acetylenedicarboxylic acid, K(H₅O₂)[UO₂L₂H₂O] · 2H₂O (I) and Cs₂[UO₂L₂H₂O] · 2H₂O (II), L²⁻ = C₄O ₄ ²⁻ were prepared for the first time. The composition and structure of the complexes were determined by X-ray diffraction. The crystal data are as follows: a = 16.254(12) ?, b = 13.508(8) ?, c = 7.683(6) ?, β = 90.91(7)°, space group C2/c, V = 1687(2) ?³ (I); a = 7.0745(10), b = 18.4246(10), c = 13.1383(10) ?, space group Abm2, V = 1712.5(3) ?³ (II). The structures of I and II are based on [UO₂L₂H₂O] _n ²⁻ anionic chains stretched along the [101] direction (I) or [010] direction (II). In I and II, the uranium coordination polyhedron is a pentagonal bipyramid in which the equatorial environment of the uranyl ions is formed by the oxygen atoms of the four L²⁻ anions and the water molecule. The L²⁻ anions in I and II are bidentate bridging ligands connecting two uranium atoms that are next to each other in the anionic chain; their coordination capacity is equal to 2. In I, the K⁺ and H₅O ₂ ⁺ cations are outer-sphere species. The latter form hydrogen bonds combining the anionic chains shifted by translation b with respect to each other. The [UO₂L₂H₂O] _n ²⁻ chains in I are surrounded by the potassium and oxonium cations; in II, these are combined by hydrogen bonds into anionic layers between which Cs⁺ cations are arranged. The IR spectrum of compound II was measured and interpreted. Original Russian Text ? I.A. Charushnikova, A.M. Fedoseev, N.A. Budantseva, I.N. Polyakova, Ph.

Electronic structure and reactivity of PO 43? , P2O 74? phosphate and SO 42? , S2O 72? sulfate anions

Group-theoretical analysis and molecular orbital methods were used to obtain (in analytical form) the electronic structure and reactivity of the PO ₄ ³⁻ , SO ₄ ²⁻ and P₂O ₇ ⁴⁻ , S₂O ₇ ²⁻ anions. The reactivity of the anions is dictated by the availability of lone electron pairs on the top quasidegenerate MOs in the form of linear combinations of group orbitals from atomic orbitals (AOs) of peripheral oxygen atoms for PO ₄ ³⁻ , SO ₄ ²⁻ and the central (bridging) atom for P₂O ₇ ⁴⁻ , S₂O ₇ ²⁻ . These electron pairs are responsible for the donor-acceptor interactions during complexation, clustering, and other (addition, substitution, etc.) reactions. Original Russian Text Copyright ? 2005 V.

Li2O-TiO2-SiO2-P2O5和Li2O-TiO2-Al2O3-P2O5体系锂离子固体电解质的制备及性能研究

一些具有NASICON型网格结构的固体电解质具有高的电导率和好的稳定性,NASICON的意思是Na Super Ionic Conductor[1]。当NaZr2(PO4)3中P5 被Si4 部分取代时便可以得到具有NASICON结构的Na1 xZr2SixP3-xO12体系,其具有高的钠离子电导率。然而有相同结构的Li1 xZr2SixP3-xO12体系的离子电导率却很低,这是因为Li 半径太小,而NASICON三维网格结构的离子通道太大,两者不匹配而使电导率下降[2]。但当LiZr2(PO4)3中Zr4 被离子半径小些的Ti4 取代,所得LiTi2(PO4)3的通道就与Li 半径相匹配,适合于锂离子的迁移,从而使其电导率…

Crystal field effects on the magnetic behavior of Yb2V2O7 and Tm2V2O7

The bulk magnetic behaviors of the pyrochlores Yb₂V₂O₇ and Tm₂V₂O₇ were investigated. Calculated susceptibilities were adjusted to obtain the best fit to experimental data. A cubic crystal field Hamiltonian was used with B°₄ = ?0.633 and B°₆ = 0.000705 K for Yb³⁺ and B°₄ = 0.0297 and B°₆ = 0.000339 K for Tm³⁺. The calculated susceptibility for Yb³⁺ was found to be insensitive to the addition of an axial B°₂ parameter to the cubic Hamiltonian.

Polymorphism in the Sc2Si2O7-Y2Si2O7 system

This paper examines the structural changes with temperature and composition in the Sc₂Si₂O₇-Y₂Si₂O₇ system; members of this system are expected to form in the intergranular region of Si₃N₄ and SiC structural ceramics when sintered with the aid of Y₂O₃ and Sc₂O₃ mixtures. A set of different compositions have been synthesized using the sol-gel method to obtain a xerogel, which has been calcined at temperatures between 1300 and 1750 °C during different times. The temperature-composition diagram of the system, obtained from powder XRD data, is dominated by the β-RE₂Si₂O₇ polymorph, with γ-RE₂Si₂O₇ and δ-RE₂Si₂O₇ showing very reduced stability fields. Isotherms at 1300 and 1600 °C have been analysed in detail to evaluate the solid solubility of the components. Although, the XRD data show a complete solid solubility of β-Sc₂Si₂O₇ in β-Y₂Si₂O₇ at 1300 °C, the ²⁹Si MAS-NMR spectra indicate a local structural change at x ca. 1.15 (Sc_2−xY_xSi₂O₇) related to the configuration of the Si tetrahedron, which does not affect the long-range order of the β-RE₂Si₂O₇ structure. Finally, it is interesting to note that, although Sc₂Si₂O₇ shows a unique stable polymorph (β), Sc³⁺ is able to replace Y³⁺ in γ-Y₂Si₂O₇ in the compositional range 1.86?x?2 (where x is Sc_2−xY_xSi₂O₇) as well as in δ-Y₂Si₂O₇ for compositions much closer to the pure Y₂Si₂O₇.     

Excitation and decay of the C2Σ+u state of N+2 following collisions of He+ ions with N2 isotopes

A quantitative analysis is made of the N⁺₂ “2nd negative” emission (“2N”: C²Σ⁺_u → X²Σ⁺_g) produced by the impact of 500 eV to 25 keV He⁺ beams on ¹⁴N₂, ¹⁴N¹⁵N and ¹⁵N₂. Above about 5 keV, the relative 2N emission rates from the various vibrational levels of the C state are the same as those observed for ? 2 keV Ne⁺, or > / 90 eV electron-impact. These limiting distributions are compared to those predicted for a Franck-Condon excitation of the C state, modified by configuration interaction. The weakening in 2N emission at the vibrational levels ν′ > / 3 is ascribed to spontaneous C-state predissociation. The data fully confirm recent reports that this predissociation extends over a wide range of ν′ and that it is subject to a strong isotope effect. The ratios of the rates of C-state predissociation to 2N emission are obtained for the levels ν′ = 3 to 8 of each nitrogen isotope. By means of these data it is shown that near-resonant charge transfer dominates the distribution of vibrational excitation probabilities only at energies below about 10 eV. A comparison is made of absolute cross-sections for C-state emission with those for N⁺ and N⁺₂ production in He⁺/¹⁴N₂ collisions at energies between 5.5 eV and 25 keV.     

Conductivity and thermogravimetric studies of HTi2NbO7 · 2H2O and CsTi2NbO7

A detailed study was performed of the interrelationships of the lattice parameters, ionic conductivity, and infrared spectrum of HTi₂NbO₇ · 2H₂O as a function of dehydration. We have shown that the oxide layers in this ion-exchange compound are interespaced with water layers 2-molecules thick, providing a rare example of a bilayer hydrate. Bulk proton transport occurs through these layers, with a conductivity of (8 ± 4) × 10^?6 ohm^?1cm^?1 at 20°C. Upon heating to 55°C, 0.5 H₂O per formula was gradually lost, but the conductivity was essentially retained. Upon further heating to 62°C another 0.5 H₂O was rapidly lost, resulting in a conductivity drop of a factor of 10. Further water was gradually lost until HTi₂NbO₇ was reached at 220°C. The X-ray evidence revealed no discrete, fixed-composition hydrate phases, indicating a single isostructural phase from HTi₂NbO₇ · 2H₂O to HTi₂NbO₇, with a single continuously variable interlayer spacing. The bulk conductivity of CsTi₂NbO₇ was less than 10^?8 ohm^?1cm^?1.     

ESR spectra and magnetic constants of α-Al2O3:Co2+,H+ and α-Al2O3 :Co2+,X+

New anisotropic ESR spectra of Co²⁺ doped sapphire, different from hitherto known, are reported. The new spectra which are observed, beside the well-known spectra of α-Al₂O₃:Co²⁺, are shown to form two sets, each one consisting of six spectra (1–6) and (7–12). The spectra of both sets are proven to be interrelated by B_3a symmetry. g and A tensors for each set will be given. Evidence is given that the two sets are to be assigned to the defects α-Al₂O₃:Co²⁺,H⁺ and α-Al₂O₃:Co²⁺,X⁺. The former is concluded to consists of a Co²⁺ ion at the substitutional site (c) and a proton located in a potential minimum along a straight line between O^2- ions situated in O²⁺ triangles above and below the CO²⁺ ion. The potential function for the proton has been calculated by quantum-chemical calculations to clucidate the geometrical structure of the paramagnetic center. The α-Al₂O₃:Co²⁺,X⁺ could not be fully analyzed but some evidence is presented, that X⁺ might be alkali ions.     

Evidence for predissociation of Rb*2(C 1Πu) into Rb*(2P12) and Rb(2S12)

A nozzle beam of rubidium is irradiated by the 4765 A line of the argon ion laser, and the resulting fluorescence is spectroscopically analyzed. Under these collision-free conditions, the emission consists of molecular fluorescence from the Rb₂ C ¹Π - X ¹Σ⁺_g electronic system as well as atomic fluorescence from the Rb ²P_{$\text{3}\text{2}$} fine structure component (the Rb D₂ line) only. The latter transition is caused by partial predissociation (? 25%) of the Rb₂ C ¹Π_u state. Within experimental error, the atomic fluorescence is not polarized and its intensity does not change when an electric field of 14.7 kV/cm is applied across the excitation region. The molecular fluorescence is polarized and has the value P = 0.345 ± 0.0009. This is interpreted to be caused by the superposition of P and R as well as Q lines. Although it is not possible to identify which state causes the predissociation of the Rb₂ C ¹Π_u state, arguments are presented that only the Rb D₂ line would appear provided the predissociation is an adiabatic process.     

Zur kenntnis von [O2]22+[Ti7F30]2−

[O₂]²⁺₂[Ti₇F₃₀]^2? has been obtained by reaction of TiO₂ with a mixture of fluorine and oxygen (p_F2/O2 ≈ 300–3500 atm., t ≈ 300–450°C) either as colourless powder or in form of colourless, clear needles. From single crystal studies the spacegroup is P$\text{3}$ - C_3i¹ (No. 147) with a = 10.19₂, c = 6.50_o Å, Z = 1. The crystal structure has been refined to R = 0.086 [R_w = 0.058] (748 unique reflexions [F_o > 2σ(F_o)]). From the structure determination [O₂]²⁺₂[Ti₇F₃₀]^2? has isolated columns of partially distorted [TiF₆] octahedra (- column structure) which are connected only quite loosely by (disordered) O₂⁺ cations. ν_O2+ is at 1857 cm^?1, the magnetic moment μ_eff = 2.35 B.M. (295 K) is quite as expected for a ‘spin-only’ case.
