(Gd_1-xCe_x)₂Zr₂O_7+x的Ce(3d) X射线光电子能谱(XPS)有六个峰,结合能分别位于881.7, 888.1, 897.8, 900.4, 907.1, 916.1 eV处,与CeO2的XPS图谱非常相似,说明Ce为四价.随着温度的升高,所有样品的热膨胀系数总体上呈增大趋势.在室温至750 ℃附近,大部分样品的热导率随温度的升高而降低,之后热导率又呈小幅上升.在相同温度下,固化体(Gd_1-xCe_x)₂Zr₂O_7+x (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.7)的热膨胀系数及热导率随组成变化呈相同趋势:在0 ≤ x ≤ 0.1范围内随x的增大而增大,随后在x = 0.1-0.7时逐渐减小.     

Synthesis and low temperature fluorination of the alkaline-earth palladates Ba2−xSrxPdO3 (x = 0–2)

Since the discovery of superconductivity in Sr₂CuO₂F_2+δ there has been an increased interest in ternary oxide-fluorides. Sr₂CuO₂F_2+δ is prepared via low temperature (T = 220 °C) reaction routes. Low temperature fluorination induces an interesting structural rearrangement in the parent compound Sr₂CuO₃, which is a one-dimensional material containing linear chains of vertex sharing CuO₄ squares along the crystallographic b axis. Upon fluorination, one oxide is substituted by two fluorides and Cu²⁺ becomes octahedrally coordinated by four oxides and two fluorides. The fluorinated compound Sr₂CuO₂F_2+δ displays the T-type structure (La₂CuO₄). Insertion of excess fluorine, δ, also takes place and this fluorine occupies interstitial sites in the T structure. Although the starting material Ca₂CuO₃ is isostructural to Sr₂CuO₃, Ca₂CuO₂F_2+δ displays the T′ (Nd₂CuO₄) structure due to the smaller radius of Ca²⁺ compared to that of Sr²⁺.

The alkaline-earth palladates with the general formula A₂PdO₃ (A = Ba, Sr) are isostructural with the A₂CuO₃(A = Ca, Sr) materials. We prepared the Ba_2−xSr_xPdO₃ (x = 0–2) series and performed low temperature fluorination, which led to the synthesis of the series Ba_2−xSr_xPdO₂F_2+δ (0 ≤ x ≤ 1.5). All the compounds in the Ba_2−xSr_xPdO₂F_2+δ series show T′ structure (Ca₂CuO₂F_2+δ). Similarities and differences with Sr₂CuO₂F_2+δ and Ca₂CuO₂F_2+δ will be discussed.     

Preparation of dibromoacetic anhydride and its reactions with Bi2O3 and CrO3 to form metal dibromoacetates

Dibromoacetic anhydride was prepared by reacting dibromoacetic acid with phosphorus(V) oxide in carbon tetrachloride at 85°C for 11 h. It reacts with Bi₂O₃ and CrO₃ in CCl₄ on prolonged refluxing forming Bi(CHBr₂COO)₃ and Cr (CHBr₂COO)₃, respectively. These new compounds were characterized by elemental analyses, IR, ¹H NMR and mass spectroscopy.     

EPR and UV–visible spectroscopic studies of alumina-supported chromium oxide catalysts

The oxidation state, the mobility and the molecular structure of chromium species present on CrO_x–Al₂O₃ catalysts have been studied by combined diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, EPR and reduction–extraction by ethane 1,2 diol. CrO₄²⁻ species exist on the alumina surface in the form of loosely-interacting species on hydrated surface (species A) and in the form of strongly bonded species on dehydrated Al₂O₃ surface (species B). The CrO₄²⁻ species show high mobility and are probably responsible for the formation of CrO_x clusters.     

Evidence of lanthanum–chromium mixed oxides formed in CrOx/La2O3 model catalysts

CrO_x/La₂O₃ mixed oxides, prepared by impregnating La₂O₃ with appropriate aqueous solutions of (NH₄)₂CrO₄ and calcining at 600 °C for 4 h, have been investigated by means of XRD, TPR, XPS, DRIFTS, and Raman spectroscopy (RS). The formation of the compounds La₂CrO₆, La(OH)CrO₄ and LaCrO₄ under these conditions was evidenced. Strong peaks at 864, 884, 913, and 921 cm⁻¹, as well as weak peaks at 136, 180, 354, 370, and 388 cm⁻¹ in the RS spectrum of CrO_x/La₂O₃ have been assigned to La₂CrO₆.     

Synthesis, characterization and thermal investigation of M[M(C2O4)3]·xH2O (x=4 for M=Cr(III); x=2 for M=Sb(III) and x=9 for M=La(III))

The complexes, M[M(C₂O₄)₃]·xH₂ O, where x=4 for M=Cr(III), x=2 for M=Sb(III) and x=9 for M=La(III) have been synthesized and their thermal stability was investigated. The complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, IR and electronic spectral data, conductivity measurement and powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies. The chromium(III)tris(oxalato)chromate(III)tetrahydrate (COT), Cr[Cr(C₂ O₄)₃]·4H₂O, released water in a stepwise fashion. Removal of the last trace of water was accompanied by a partial decomposition of the oxalate group. Thermal investigation using TG, DTG and DTA techniques in air produced Cr₂O₃ at 858°C through the intermediate formation of Cr₂O₃ and CrC₂O₄ at around 460°C. While DSC study in nitrogen up to 670°C produced a mixture of Cr₂O₃ and CrC₂O₄. In antimony(III)tris(oxalato)antimonate(III)dihydrate (AOD), Sb[Sb(C₂O₄)₃]·3H₂O the dehydration took place during the decomposition of precursor at 170–290°C and finally at ca. 610°C Sb₂ O₅ along with trace amounts of Sb₂O₄ were produced. Trace amount of Sb₂O₃ and Sb along with Sb₂O is proposed as the end product at 670°C of AOD in nitrogen. The oxide La₂O₃ is formed at 838°C from the study with TG, DTG and DTA in air of lanthanum(III)tris(oxalato)lanthanum(III)nonahydrate (LON), La[La(C₂O₄)₃]·9H₂O. Intermediate dioxycarbonate, La₂O₂CO₃ was generated at 526°C prior to its decomposition to lanthanum oxide in air; whereas in N₂ the formation of La₂(CO₃)₃ at 651°C was proposed. The thermal parameters have been evaluated for each step of the dehydration and decomposition of COT, AOD and LON using five non-mechanistic equations i.e. Flynn and Wall, Freeman and Carroll, Modified Freeman and Carroll, Coats–Redfern and MacCallum–Tanner equations. Kinetic parameters, such as, E^*, k_o, ΔH^*, ΔS^* etc. were also supplemented by DSC studies in nitrogen for all the three complexes. Some of the intermediate species have been identified by analytical and powder XRD studies. Tentative schemes has been proposed for the decomposition of all three compounds in air and nitrogen.     

Synthesis, reaction and structure of a series of chromium(III) complexes containing oxalate ligand

A series of chromium(III) complexes [Cr(bipy)(HC₂O₄)₂]Cl·3H₂O (1), [Cr(phen)(HC₂O₄)₂]Cl·3H₂O (2), [Cr(phen)₂(C₂O₄)]ClO₄ (3), [Cr₂(bipy)₄(C₂O₄)](SO₄)·(bipy)_0.5·H₂O (4) and [Mn(phen)₂(H₂O)₂]₂[Cr(phen)(C₂O₄)₂]₃ClO₄·14H₂O (5) were synthesized (bipy=4,4′-bipyridine, phen=1,10-phenanthroline), while the crystal structures of 1 and 3–5 have been determined by X-ray analysis. 1 and 3 are mononuclear complexes, 4 contains binuclear chromium(III) ions and 5 is a 3D supromolecule formed by complicated hydrogen bonding. 1–3 are potential molecular bricks of chromium(III) building blocks for synthesis heterometallic complexes. When we use these molecular bricks as ligands to react with other metal salts, unexpected complexes 4 and 5 are isolated in water solution. The synthesis conditions and reaction results are also discussed.     

The formation and stability of hydrated and anhydrous uranyl phosphates

The stabilities of the hydrated uranyl phosphates (UO₂)₃(PO₄)₂ · 4 H₂O, UO₂HPO₄ · 4 H₂O, and UO₂(H₂PO₄) · 3 H₂O have been reinvestigated. The compounds identified by thermal analysis have been prepared isothermally and characterized by their strongest X-ray reflections. During dehydration, oxygen was not evolved and the crystalline compounds (UO₂)₃(PO₄)₂, (UO₂)₂P₂O₇, UO₂(PO₃)₂, and probably (UO₂)₃P₄O)₁₃ were found.

At still higher temperatures, the uranyl phosphates are reduced. The decomposition products lose phosphorus oxide above 1300–1400°C. The present results are summarized in a tentative pseudo-binary phase diagram UO_x(x = 3 to 2)—UO₂(PO₃)₂.     

Dinuclear transition metal compounds of a decadentate pyrazole-containing chelating ligand. X-ray crystal structure of Co2(tthd)(ClO4)4(H2O)2(MeOH)1.75

A potentially decadentate ligand, 1,1,4,7,10,10-hexakis(3,5-dimethyl-1-pyrazolylmethyl)-1,4,7,10-tetraazadecane (tthd), has been synthesized from the reaction of tri-ethylenetetramine with six equivalents of N-hydroxymethyl-3,5-dimethylpyrazole. The tthd ligand forms coordination compounds, M₂(tthd)(ClO₄)₄(H₂O)_x, when M is Co, Ni, Cu, Zn and Cd and x = 4–8; and M₂(tthd)(A)₂(ClO₄)₂(H₂O)_x when M is Co and Ni, A is NCS or Cl, and x = 4–8. The cobalt compound, Co₂(tthd)(ClO₄)₂(H₂O)₂(MeOH)_1.75, crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1, a = 1.959(2), b = 1.5657(3), c = 2.1244(3) nm, = 105.5(1), β = 96.9(1), γ = 112.1(1). Due to severe disorder of the anions the structure could only be refined to an R_w, value of 0.099. The ligand acts as a decadentate, dinucleating ligand. The cobalt ions are distorted octahedrally surrounded by five N-atoms of the tthd ligand and an O-atom of water occupying the sixth coordination place. The other perchlorate compounds have very similar structures, as can be concluded from spectroscopic data.

In the thiocyanate and chloride compounds the anions have replaced the coordinated water molecules, resulting in octahedral Ni compounds. With Co thiocyanate, however, tthd acts as an octadentate ligand, resulting only in five-coordinated compounds.     

二维M_2XO_(2-2x)(OH)_(2x)(M=Ti,V;X=C,N)析氢催化活性的第一性原理研究

MXene是一种新型的二维析氢催化材料,其表面容易被亲水基团O和OH混合覆盖。我们基于第一性原理计算的方法,研究了M_2XO_(2-2x)(OH)_(2x)(M=Ti,V;X=C,N)的析氢催化活性。计算结果显示,M_2XO_(2-2x)(OH)_(2x)的析氢催化活性与其表面OH覆盖率(X)密切相关。对Ti_2CO_(2-2x)(OH)_(2x)来说,OH覆盖率不超过1/3时,具有优异的析氢催化活性。对Ti_2NO_(2-2x)(OH)_(2x)、V_2CO_(2-2x)(OH)_(2x)和V_2NO_(2-2x)(OH)_(2x)来说,OH覆盖率分别达到4/9、1/3和5/9时,才具有最佳的析氢催化活性。接着,电荷分析显示OH覆盖率会显著影响M_2XO_(2-2x)(OH)_(2x)活性位点O基团的电荷量。最后,我们从态密度的角度揭示了析氢催化活性变化的原因,即活性位点O基团的氧化性随OH覆盖率的增大而被削弱。因此,本文提出了调节表面OH覆盖率来获取M_2XO_(2-2x)(OH)_(2x)最佳析氢催化活性状态的方法,这在工业制氢生产过程中具有重要的应用价值。     

Calcium croconate and calcium oxalato-croconate complexes with 2D and 3D crystal structures

Two novel complexes of calcium croconate Ca(μ₃-C₅O₅)(H₂O)₃ (I) and calcium oxalato-croconate Ca₂(μ₄-C₅O₅)(μ₆-C₂O₄)(H₂O) (II) have been synthesized by soft chemical routes and their crystal structures have been solved from single-crystal data. Croconates I and II crystallize in orthorhombic space groups Pbca and Pnma, respectively. Their crystal structures evidence the versatile character of the croconate anion in the framework design. The calcium croconate I displays a 2D structure with corrugated sheets formed by croconate dianions and eightfold coordinated calcium atoms within [Ca₂O₁₄] dimers. The sheets develop eight-member apertures made of four dimers and four croconate dianions. The structure of II displays a 3D open-framework built from layers connected to each other by croconate dianions. This arrangement generates rectangular cavities free of water molecules. Seven- and eightfold coordinated calcium atoms with oxalate dianions constitute the layers. In both structures, the connecting modes of croconates are unusual. The thermal behaviour study has demonstrated that II is stable until 380 °C.

The structural features of the compounds mentioned are compared with those of [Fe(SO₂)₄](AsF₆)₂ (1b) and [Ni(SO₂)₆](AsF₆)₂ (1d), reported previously. The structural diversity of transition metal sulfur dioxide complexes is discussed.     

Synthesis and thermochemical study of 1 : 2 : 4 phases in the (Y,Gd)–Ba–Cu–O system

Synthesis of the Y_xGd_1−xBa₂Cu₄O₈ phases (x=1; 0.5; 0.75) by special method from nitrates is described in this paper. Dissolution enthalpies of YBa₂Cu₄O₈, Y_0.5Gd_0.5Ba₂Cu₄O₈, Y_0.75Gd_0.25Ba₂Cu₄O₈, Y₂O₃, Gd₂O₃, CuO, BaCO₃ were measured in 6 N HCl at 323 K. On the basis of obtained experimental data, the enthalpies of some reactions with Y_xGd_1−xBa₂Cu₄O₈ were determined. It was established that the above-mentioned 1 : 2 : 4 superconductors were thermodynamically more favourable than mixtures including CuO, YBa₂Cu₃O_x. It was also established that, according to the obtained data, these phases can react with CO₂.     

Positronium as a tool to monitor changes of chemical structure

The applicability of positron annihilation spectroscopy for chemical structural problems is demonstrated by two examples: For the swelling dynamics of an amphiphilic polymer network, very quick structural changes were indicated by positronium lifetime parameters at very low swelling ratios and a hydration mechanism was proposed accordingly. For the series [Fe_xZn_1−x(propyltetrazole)₆](BF₄)₂(x=1, 0.6, 0.4, 0.1, 0), changes in the dynamic structure were revealed by positronium lifetime spectroscopy. For compounds of x>0, temperature-induced spin-crossover was detected.     

Synthesis and electrochemical properties of Li1-xVxCryFe1-yPO4/C as a cathode material

Composites Li1-xVxCryFe1-yPO4/C（x=0.01, 0.02; y = 0.01, 0.02） were synthesized by solid-state reaction method. The influence of the content of doping vanadium and chromium on the structure of Li1-xVxCryFe1-yPO4/C was investigated by XRD, while the morphology of powders was observed by SEM. The investigation of the electrochemical performances showed that the Li0.99V0.01Cr0.02Fe0.98PO4/C material has a higher capacity. At 0.1 C discharging rate, it is capable of delivering reversible specific capacity of 163.8 mAh/g with fairly stable cycleability.     

Structure and redox properties of CexPr1−xO2−δ mixed oxides and their catalytic activities for CO, CH3OH and CH4 combustion

A series of Ce_xPr_1−xO_2−δ mixed oxides were synthesized by a sol–gel method and characterized by Raman, XRD and TPR techniques. The oxidation activity for CO, CH₃OH and CH₄ on these mixed oxides was investigated. When the value x was changed from 1.0 to 0.8, only a cubic phase CeO₂ was observed. The samples were greatly crystallized in the range of the value x from 0.99 to 0.80, which is due to the formation of solid solutions caused by the complete insertion of Pr into the CeO₂ crystal lattices. Raman bands at 465 and 1150 cm⁻¹ in Ce_xPr_1−xO_2−δ samples are attributed to the Raman active F_2g mode of CeO₂. The broad band at around 570 cm⁻¹ in the region of 0.3 ≤ x ≤ 0.99 can be linked to oxygen vacancies. The new band at 195 cm⁻¹ may be ascribed to the asymmetric vibration caused by the formation of oxygen vacancies. The TPR profile of Pr₆O₁₁ shows two reduction peaks and the reduction process is followed: . The reduction temperature of Ce_xPr_1−xO_2−δ mixed oxides is lower than those of Pr₆O₁₁ or CeO₂. TPR results indicate that Ce_xPr_1−xO_2−δ mixed oxides have higher redox properties because of the formation of Ce_xPr_1−xO_2−δ solid solutions. The presence of the oxygen vacancies favors CO and CH₃OH oxidation, while the activity of CH₄ oxidation is mostly related to reduction temperatures and redox properties.     

高碳铬铁在氢氧化钠水溶液中电化学氧化过程

铬铁电化学氧化法是一种新的制备铬酸钠的方法,然而高碳铬铁在NaOH水溶液中的电化学氧化过程尚不明确。 采用循环伏安法(CV)、稳态极化法(LSV)等电化学测试方法对金属铬、高碳铬铁在NaOH水溶液中的电化学氧化过程进行研究,通过扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、能量散射谱(EDS)和X射线光电子能谱(XPS)对高碳铬铁电解后固相产物表征,判断固相产物的组成。 结果表明,高碳铬铁不同于金属铬的电氧化过程,它在NaOH溶液中通过Cr(0)→Cr(Ⅵ)的电氧化方式生成铬酸钠,中间产物Cr(OH)₃和Fe(0)发生电化学反应生成稳定的FeCr₂O₄。 随着NaOH浓度的增加,电势较低时,受高碳铬铁中Fe(0)的影响,高碳铬铁容易在NaOH水溶液中发生钝化;当电势足够正时,钝化膜溶解,生成铬酸钠、氢氧化铁和亚铬酸亚铁,同时,阳极表面有氧气析出。 高碳铬铁电化学氧化制备铬酸钠的适宜条件:碱浓度≥2 mol/L,阳极电势≥1.6 V(vs.SCE)。
