Structurally complex cobalt intermetallics grown from liquid aluminum: Co19Al45Si(10-x) (x = 0.13) and Co5Al14Si2

The cobalt aluminum silicides Co19Al45Si(10-x) (x = 0.13) and Co5Al14Si2 were synthesized in liquid aluminum and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Co19Al45Si(10-x) (x = 0.13) crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c with lattice parameters a = 19.991(2) A, b = 19.143(2) A, c = 12.8137(15) A, beta = 123.583(2) degrees. Co5Al14Si2 adopts the orthorhombic space group Pnma with cell parameters a = 13.8948(19) A, b = 23.039(3) A, c = 7.3397(10) A. Both structures are exceptionally complex with the Co2Si2 rhombus being a common building motif. The coordination environments of cobalt atoms resemble those of the transition metals in typical quasi-crystal approximants. Co5Al14Si2 shows oxidation resistance in air up to 1000 degrees C by forming a dense-packed Al2O3 layer on the surface of the crystal.     

Formation of nets of corner-shared bicapped gold squares in SrAu3Ge: how a BaAl4-type derivative reconciles fewer valence electrons and the origin of its uniaxial negative thermal expansion

SrAu(3)Ge was synthesized by direct fusion of the mixed elements at high temperature followed by annealing treatments, and its structure was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction means in space group (Pearson symbol: tP10) P4/nmm, a = 6.264(1) ?, c = 5.5082(9) ?, Z = 2 at room temperature. The structure of SrAu(3)Ge, a reapportioned √2 × √2 × 1 superstructure of CeMg(2)Si(2) (P4/mmm), exhibits checkerboard nets of corner-shared bicapped Au squares (or corner-shared Au(Au(4/2))Ge octahedra), in which the apical Au-Ge pairs in adjoining nets are strongly interbonded in the c direction. This motif contrasts with that of the common BaAl(4) (I4/mmm) prototype in which Al squares in comparable layers are alternately monocapped by Al from the top or the bottom. Typical examples show valence electron counts (vec) between 12 and 16 for the BaAl(4) type and that for CeMg(2)Si(2) is similar, 15. The special stability of SrAu3Ge, with vec = 9, derives from significant relativistic contribution of the Au 5d(10) states to the Au-Ge and Au-Au bonding. These factors are also recognized in the marked redistribution of Au and Ge site occupancies from those in CeMg(2)Si(2). SrAu(3)Ge exhibits a pronounced uniaxial negative thermal expansion along c, with a coefficient of -1.57 versus 2.16 × 10(-5) K(-1) in a and b. The reticulated Au(5)Ge octahedral layers expand in the ab plane on heating, whereas the strong, interlayer Au-Ge bonds remain fixed.     

Flux synthesis, crystal structures, and luminescence properties of salt-inclusion lanthanide silicates: [K9F2][Ln3Si12O32] (Ln = Sm, Eu, Gd)

New salt-inclusion lanthanide silicates, [K 9F 2][Ln 3Si 12O 32] (Ln = Sm, Eu, Gd), have been synthesized using a KF-MoO 3 flux, and structurally characterized by single-crystal and powder X-ray diffraction. The structures of these three isostructural compounds consist of open-branched funfer silicate single layers with six-, eight-, and twelve-membered rings, which are connected via LnO 6 octahedra to form a 3-D framework. The F (-) and K (+) ions are located in the structural channels and form a F 2K 7 dimer with a structure similar to that of Cl 2O 7. The photoluminescence properties of the Eu compound have also been studied. The sharp peaks in the room-temperature emission spectrum are assigned and the relative intensities of the (5)D 0 --> (7)F 1 and (5)D 0 --> (7)F 2 transitions are consistent with the crystallography results. Crystal data for the Eu compound: triclinic, space group P1 (No. 2), a = 6.8989(2) A, b = 11.3834(4) A, c = 11.4955(4) A, alpha = 87.620(2) degrees , beta = 89.532(2) degrees , gamma = 80.221(2) degrees , and Z = 2. Crystal data for the Sm compound: The same as those for the Eu compound except a = 6.9152(6) A, b = 11.400(1) A, c = 11.531(1) A, alpha = 87.610(1) degrees , beta = 89.445(1) degrees , and gamma = 80.081(1) degrees .     

Electron-deficient Eu(6.5)Gd(0.5)Ge6 intermetallic: a layered intergrowth phase of the Gd5Si4- and FeB-type structures

A novel electron-poor Eu(6.5)Gd(0.5)Ge? compound adopts the Ca?Sn?-type structure (space group Pnma, Z = 4, a = 7.5943(5) ?, b = 22.905(1) ?, c = 8.3610(4) ?, and V = 1454.4(1) ?3). The compound can be seen as an intergrowth of the Gd?Si?-type (Pnma) R?Ge? (R = rare earth) and FeB-type (Pnma) RGe compounds. The phase analysis suggests that the Eu(7-x)Gd(x)Ge? series displays a narrow homogneity range of stabilizing the Ca?Sn? structure at x ≈ 0.5. The structural results illustrate the structural rigidity of the 2(∝)[R?X?] slabs (X = p-element) and a possibility for discovering new intermetallics by combining the 2(∝)[R?X?] slabs with other symmetry-approximate building blocks. Electronic structure analysis suggests that the stability and composition of Eu(6.5)Gd(0.5)Ge? represents a compromise between the valence electron concentration, bonding, and existence of the neighboring EuGe and (Eu,Gd)?Ge? phases.     

Gd5-xYxTt4 (Tt = Si or Ge): effect of metal substitution on structure, bonding, and magnetism

A crystallographic study and theoretical assessment of the Gd/Y site preferences in the Gd 5- x Y x Tt 4 ( Tt = Si, Ge) series prepared by high-temperature methods is presented. All structures for the Gd 5- x Y x Si 4 system belong to the orthorhombic, Gd 5Si 4-type (space group Pnma). For the Gd 5- x Y x Ge 4 system, phases with x < 3.6 and x >or= 4.4 adopt the orthorhombic, Sm 5Ge 4-type structure. For the composition range of 3.6 相似文献   

Y2AlGe3 – eine supraleitende metallische Zintl-Verbindung

Y₂AlGe₃ – a Superconductive Metallic Zintl Compound Y₂AlGe₃ was prepared by heating the elements (950°C) and investigated by means of single-crystal X-ray methods. The compound crystallizes in a new structure (Pnma; a = 6.785(1) Å, b = 4.189(1) Å, c = 17.676(2) Å; Z = 4) with a three-dimensional framework of Al and Ge atoms and with Y in the cavities. The Al atoms are surrounded tetrahedrally by Ge atoms, which are arranged in the form of planar (Ge^2?)_∞ chains and isolated from each other respectively. Although Y₂AlGe₃ is a metallic conductor and no valence compound, it achieves the structural requirements of Zintl's concept. This picture is supported by electrondensity and ELF calculations, which reveals covalent Al? Ge and Ge? Ge bondings, therefore Y₂AlGe₃ is interpreted as a metallic Zintl-Compound, down-playing the metallic propertys. Y₂AlGe₃ becomes superconductively at 4.5 K. Isotypic compounds are found for Ln₂AlGe₃ with Ln = Dy, Ho, Er, and Tm (For lattice constants see “Inhaltsübersicht”).     

Structure and thermoelectric characterization of Ba8Al14Si31

A molten Al flux method was used to grow single crystals of the type I clathrate compound Ba8Al14Si31. Single-crystal neutron diffraction data for Ba8Al14Si31 were collected at room temperature using the SCD instrument at the Intense Pulsed Neutron Source, Argonne National Laboratory. Single-crystal neutron diffraction of Ba8Al14Si31 confirms that the Al partially occupies all of the framework sites (R1 = 0.0435, wR2 = 0.0687). Stoichiometry was determined by electron microprobe analysis, density measurements, and neutron diffraction analysis. Solid-state (27)Al NMR provides additional evidence for site preferences within the framework. This phase is best described as a framework-deficient solid solution Ba8Al14Si31, with the general formula, Ba(8)Al(x)Si(42-3/4x)[](4-1/4x) ([] indicates lattice defects). DSC measurements and powder X-ray diffraction data indicate that this is a congruently melting phase at 1416 K. Temperature-dependent resistivity reveals metallic behavior. The negative Seebeck coefficient indicates transport processes dominated by electrons as carriers.     

Synthesis, Crystal Structure and Inhibition of the K562 Cell Proliferation of N＇-Tertbutylaminocarbonyl-N-2-chlorophenoxyacetylthiourea

The title compound N'-tert-butylaminocarbonyl-N-2-chlorophenoxyacetylthiou- rea has been synthesized for the first time. Complete assignments were achieved by IR, 1H NHR and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses. The inhibitory rate of the cellular growth of K562 cells (chronic myeloid 1eukemic cells) was measured using MTT [3-(4,5-dimethylthiazo-2-y1)-2,5-di- phenyltetra-zolium bromide] assay. The cell apoptosis was assessed by agarose gel electrophoresis to find that the title compound has antiproliferation and apoptosis inducing effects on K562 cells. In order to investigate the relationship between structure and activity of the target compound, we report its crystal structure and biological behavior in the present paper. Crystallographic data: C14H18- ClN3O3S, Mr = 343.82, orthorhombic, space group Pnma, a = 19.786(6), b = 6.789(2), c = 12.938(4) , V = 1738.0(9) 3, Z = 4, Dc = 1.314 g/cm3, F(000) = 720, μ(MoKα) = 0.354 mm-1, R = 0.0378 and wR = 0.0941. The molecule is a planar structure.     

Vacancy ordering in SmGe2-x and GdGe2-x (x = 0.33): structure and properties of two Sm3Ge5 polymorphs and of Gd3Ge5

The crystal structures and the magnetic properties of three new binary rare-earth intermetallic phases are reported. alpha-Sm3Ge5 and beta-Sm3Ge5 and Gd3Ge5 have been prepared from the corresponding elements through high-temperature reactions using the flux-growth method. The structures of the three compounds have been established using single-crystal X-ray diffraction: alpha-Sm3Ge5 crystallizes with its own type in the hexagonal space group P2c (No. 190) with cell parameters a = 6.9238(11) A, c = 8.491(3) A, and Z = 2, whereas beta-Sm3Ge5 adopts the face-centered orthorhombic Y3Ge5 type with space group Fdd2 (No. 43) and with cell parameters a = 5.8281(6) A, b = 17.476(2) A, c = 13.785(2) A, and Z = 8. The orthorhombic Gd3Ge5 with cell parameters a = 5.784(2) A, b = 17.355(6) A, and c = 13.785(5) A is isostructural with beta-Sm3Ge5. The structures of the title compounds can be described as AlB(2) and alpha-ThSi2 derivatives with long-range ordering of the germanium vacancies. Temperature-dependent DC magnetization (5-300 K) measurements show evidence of antiferromagnetic ordering below ca. 30 and 10 K for alpha-Sm3Ge5 and beta-Sm3Ge5, respectively. Gd3Ge5 undergoes two successive magnetic transitions below ca. 15 and 11 K. The temperature dependence of the resistivity and heat capacity of Gd3Ge5 are discussed as well.     

SrInGe and EuInGe: new Zintl phases with an unusual anionic network derived from the ThSi(2) structure

Two new isostructural Zintl phases, EuInGe and SrInGe, are obtained from high-temperature reactions of the pure elements in welded Ta tubes. Both ternary phases crystallize in a new structure type in space group Pnma (No. 62), with a = 4.921(1) A, b = 3.9865(9) A, and c = 16.004(3) A for EuInGe; and a = 5.021(1) A, b = 4.0455(9) A, and c = 16.188(4) A for SrInGe. The crystal structures established by single-crystal X-ray diffraction feature zigzag chains of 3-bonded Ge atoms and puckered layers of 4-bonded In atoms. The two structural units are linked into an anionic network with channels composed of 5-membered and 7-membered rings. The channels are filled by the respective divalent cations. The chemical bonding of the anionic [InGe](2)(-) network, derived from a one-electron oxidative distortion of the alpha-ThSi(2) structure, is explained using extended-Hückel band structure calculations. Magnetic measurements indicate that EuInGe exhibits Curie-Weiss paramagnetic behavior above 35 K and antiferromagnetic behavior below 35 K. The calculated effective moment, mu(eff) = 8.11 mu(B), of EuInGe and the diamagnetic behavior of SrInGe are consistent with the oxidation states of Eu(II) and Sr(II), respectively.     

Structure and bonding of Sr3In11: how size and electronic effects determine structural stability of polar intermetallic compounds

The binary compound Sr(3)In(11) (SrIn(3.667)) was synthesized and structurally characterized by X-ray diffraction experiments. It crystallizes in the orthorhombic La(3)Al(11) structure type (space group Immm, Z = 2; a = 4.9257(6), b = 14.247(2), c = 11.212(2) A). The crystal structure of Sr(3)In(11) bears features of the monoclinic EuIn(4) structure, which is adopted by SrIn(4), and the prominent tetragonal BaAl(4) structure. Sr(3)In(11) is stable until 550 degrees C. At higher temperatures it decomposes peritectically into SrIn(2) and In. Structural stability and bonding properties of Sr(3)In(11) were investigated by first principles calculations and compared to SrIn(4) in the monoclinic EuIn(4) and the tetragonal BaAl(4) structure. All three structures consist of a three-dimensional, polyanionic, network formed by In atoms and Sr cations encapsulated in cages. For the BaAl(4)-type SrIn(4), In-In network bonding is perfectly optimized. In contrast, the networks of EuIn(4)-type SrIn(4) and Sr(3)In(11) appear hypo- and hyperelectronic, respectively. The formation of Sr(3)In(11) with a composition close to 1:4 and the nonexistence of BaAl(4)-type SrIn(4) is explained by a delicate interplay of size and electronic factors governing structural stability in the In-rich part of the Sr-In system.     

Ce53Fe12S90X3 (X = Cl, Br, I): the first rare-earth transition-metal sulfide halides

The compounds Ce53Fe12S90X3 (X = Cl, Br, I), which represent the first examples of rare-earth transition-metal sulfide halides, were prepared using the reactive-flux method, through reaction of Ce2S3, FeS, or Fe and S in a CeX3 flux at 1320 K. Their structures were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The compounds are isostructural, crystallizing in the trigonal space group Rm with Z = 1 [Ce53Fe12S90Cl3, a = 13.9094(9) A, c = 21.604(2) A, V = 3619.7(4) A3; Ce(53)Fe(12)S(90)Br(3), a = 13.916(1) A, c = 21.824(2) A, V = 3660.0(5) A3; Ce53Fe12S90I3, a = 13.863(3) A, c = 21.944(6) A, V = 3652(2) A3]. The structure adopted is a stuffed variant of the La52Fe12S90 structure type. Fe2S9 dimers of face-sharing octahedra are linked by face- and vertex-sharing capped CeS6 trigonal prisms, forming a three-dimensional framework containing cuboctahedral cavities of two sizes. The smaller cavities accommodate alternative sites for disordered cerium atoms. The larger cavities, which remain empty in the parent structure, are filled by halogen atoms in Ce53Fe12S90X3. Alternatively, the structure can be described as a 9-fold superstructure of the Mn5Si3 structure type (P6(3)/mcm), with a = a' and c = 3c'. Temperature-dependent magnetic susceptibility measurements suggest that Ce53Fe12S90I3 may order antiferromagnetically at low temperatures.     

Synthesis,Crystal Structure and Anti-fungal Activity of 2-(4-Chlorophenyl)-(1,3-dimethyl-2,3-dihydro-1H)-perimidine

The title compound 2-(4-chlorophenyl)-1,3-dimethyl-2,3-dihydro-1H-perimidine(C_(19)H_(17)ClN_2) was synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, ~1H NMR, HRMS and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The crystal of the title compound belongs to orthorhombic system,space group Pnma with a = 11.385(2), b = 12.170(2), c = 11.210(2) ?, V = 1553.2(5) ?~3, Z = 4, Dc =1.321 g/cm~3, m(Mo-Ka) = 0.244 mm~(-1), F(000) = 648, S = 1.309, R = 0.0400 and w R(I 2s(I)) =0.1065. X-ray diffraction results showed that the molecular structure is highly symmetric and the new-formed N-heterocyclic ring is non-planar. In addition, the biological experiment showed that the title compound showed inhibitory activities against fungi with varied potencies.     

Crystal structure, chemical bonding, and phase relations of the novel compound Co4Al(7+x)Si(2-x) (0.27 < or = x < or = 1.05)

The title compound was detected and characterized during a systematic study of the Al-rich part of the Co-Al-Si system. The crystal structure was established via single-crystal X-ray diffraction. It represents a new type of structure of intermetallic compounds (Pearson symbol mC26, space group C2/m). The homogeneity range of the phase Co4Al(7+x)Si(2-x) (0.27(3) < or = x < or = 1.05(2)) and equilibria with neighboring phases were studied by electron probe microanalysis (EPMA) and X-ray powder diffraction. The lattice parameters of the compound were found to vary between Al-poor and Al-rich composition (a = 11.949(1)-12.042(1) A, b = 3.9986(4)-4.0186(4) A, c = 7.6596(8)-7.6637(9) A, and beta = 106.581(7)-106.140(7) degrees). A partial disorder caused by the Al/Si substitution in one of the five main group element positions was found, and different ordering models yielding different Al/Si occupation motifs and different distributions of interatomic distances are discussed in detail. Chemical bonding analysis with the electron localization function (ELF) reveals a covalently bonded Al/Si network and rather ionic interactions between Co and the network.     

A Novel High-Pressure Tin Oxynitride Sn2N2O

We report the first oxynitride of tin, Sn₂N₂O (SNO), exhibiting a Rh₂S₃-type crystal structure with space group Pbcn. All Sn atoms are in six-fold coordination, in contrast to Si in silicon oxynitride (Si₂N₂O) and Ge in the isostructural germanium oxynitride (Ge₂N₂O), which appear in four-fold coordination. SNO was synthesized at 20 GPa and 1200–1500 °C in a large volume press. The recovered samples were characterized by synchrotron powder X-ray diffraction and single-crystal electron diffraction in the TEM using the automated diffraction tomography (ADT) technique. The isothermal bulk modulus was determined as B_o=193(5) GPa by using in-situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction in a diamond anvil cell. The structure model is supported by DFT calculations. The enthalpy of formation, the bulk modulus, and the band structure have been calculated.     

RE2MAl6Si4 (RE = Gd, Tb, Dy; M = Au, Pt): layered quaternary intermetallics featuring CaAl2Si2-type and YNiAl4Ge2-type slabs grown from aluminum flux

Six new intermetallic aluminum silicides--Gd(2)PtAl(6)Si(4), Gd(2)AuAl(6)Si(4), Tb(2)PtAl(6)Si(4), Tb(2)AuAl(6)Si(4), Dy(2)PtAl(6)Si(4), and Dy(2)AuAl(6)Si(4)--have been obtained from reactions carried out in aluminum flux. The structure of these compounds was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. They form in space group Rthremacr;m with cell constants of a = 4.1623(3) A and c = 51.048(5) A for the Gd(2)PtAl(6)Si(4) compound. The crystal structure is comprised of hexagonal nets of rare earth atoms alternating with two kinds of layers that have been observed in other multinary aluminide intermetallic compounds (CaAl(2)Si(2) and YNiAl(4)Ge(2)). All six RE(2)MAl(6)Si(4) compounds show antiferromagnetic transitions at low temperatures (T(N) < 20 K); magnetization studies of the Dy compounds show metamagnetic behavior with reorientation of spins at 6000 G. Band structure calculations indicate that the AlSi puckered hexagonal sheets in this structure are electronically distinct from the other surrounding structural motifs.     

Cubic aluminum silicides RE8Ru12Al49Si9(Al(x)Si12-x) (RE = Pr, Sm) from liquid aluminum. Empty (Si,Al)12 cuboctahedral clusters and assignment of the Al/Si distribution with neutron diffraction.

Two new quaternary aluminum silicides, RE8Ru12Al49Si9(Al(x)Si12-x) (x approximately 4; RE = Pr, Sm), have been synthesized from Sm (or Sm2O3), Pr, Ru, and Si in molten aluminum between 800 and 1000 degrees C in sealed fused silica tubes. Both compounds form black shiny crystals that are stable in air and NaOH. The Nd analog is also stable. The compounds crystallize in a new structural type. The structure, determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, is cubic, space group Pm3m with Z = 1, and has lattice parameters of a = 11.510(1) A for Sm8Ru12Al49Si9(Al(x)Si12-x) and a = 11.553(2) A for Pr8Ru12Al49Si9(Al(x)Si12-x) (x approximately 4). The structure consists of octahedral units of AlSi6, at the cell center, Si2Ru4Al8 clusters, at each face center, SiAl8 cubes, at the middle of the cell edges, and unique (Al,Si)12 cuboctohedral clusters, at the cell corners. These different structural units are connected to each other either by shared atoms, Al-Al bonds, or Al-Ru bonds. The rare earth metal atoms fill the space between various structural units. The Al/Si distribution was verified by single-crystal neutron diffraction studies conducted on Pr8Ru12Al49Si9(Al(x)Si12-x). Sm8Ru12Al49Si9(Al(x)Si12-x) and Pr8Ru12Al49Si9(Al(x)Si12-x) show ferromagnetic ordering at Tc approximately 10 and approximately 20 K, respectively. A charge of 3+ can be assigned to the rare earth atoms while the Ru atoms are diamagnetic.     

Synthesis,Crystal Structure and Magnetic Property of Ternary Neodymium Zirconium Sulfide,Nd_2ZrS_5

A new ternary neodymium zirconium sulfide Nd_2ZrS_5 was synthesized by high-temperature solid-state reaction and structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. It crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pnma(No. 62) belonging to the Y_2HfS_5 structure-type with a = 11.461(4), b = 8.009(3), c = 7.315(3) ?, Z = 2 and V = 671.5(4) ?~3. Its structure features NdS_8 and ZrS_7 polyhedra-constructed a 3-D network. The data of magnetic susceptibility indicate its antiferromagnetic-like behavior without magnetic order down to 2 K.     

Spinel-to-CaFe2O4-type structural transformation in LiMn2O4 under high pressure

A new form of LiMn2O4 is reported. The structure is the CaFe2O4-type and 6% denser than the spinel. The structure transformation was achieved by heating at 6 GPa. Analysis of the neutron diffraction pattern confirmed an average of the structure; the unit cell was orthorhombic at a = 8.8336(5) angstroms, b = 2.83387(18) angstroms, and c = 10.6535(7) angstroms (Pnma). Electron diffraction patterns indicated an order of superstructure 3a x b x c, which might be initiated by Li vacancies. The exact composition is estimated at Li(0.92)Mn2O4 from the structure analysis and quantity of intercalated Li. The polycrystalline CaFe2O4-type compound showed semiconducting-like characters over the studied range above 5 K. The activation energy was reduced to approximately 0.27 eV from approximately 0.40 eV at the spinel form, suggesting a possible enhancement of hopping mobility. Magnetic and specific-heat data indicated a magnetically glassy transition at approximately 10 K. As the CaFe2O4-type transition was observed for the mineral MgAl2O4, hence the new form of the lithium manganese oxide would provide valuable opportunities to study not only the magnetism of strongly correlated electrons but also the thermodynamics of the phase transition in the mantle.
