The chloration of MgCl₂ was studied in the LiCl–KCl–MgCl₂–Gd₂O₃–Sm₂O₃ melts. Gd(III) and Sm(III) ions were observed by cyclic voltammetry and square wave voltammetry assisted by MgCl₂ in melts.

Synthesis, structural characterization and properties of a 3D infinitely extended structural rare earth coordination compound of K3{[Sm(H2O)7]2Na[α-SiW11O39Sm(H2O)4]2} · 14 H2O· 14 H2O

A 3D infinitely extended structural rare earth coordination compound with a formula of K₃{[Sm(H₂O)₇]₂Na[α-SiW₁₁O₃₉Sm(H₂O)₄]₂}·14H₂O has been synthesized by reaction of Sm₂O₃, HClO₄, NaOH with α-K₈SiW₁₁O39·nH₂O, and characterized by IR, UV spectra, ICP, TG-DTA, cyclic voltammetry, variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility and X-ray single-crystal diffraction. X-ray single-crystal diffraction indicates that the title compound crystallizes in a triclinic lattice, Pī space group, with a = 1.2462(3) nm, b = 1.2652(3) nm, c = 1.8420(4) nm, α = 87.45(3)°, β = 79.91(3)°, γ= 82.57(3)°, Z = 1, R₁ = 0.0778, wR₂ = 0.1610. Structural analysis reveals that Sm³⁺(1) coordination cation has incorporated into the vacant site of [α-SiW11O₃₉]⁸⁻ entity, forming the [α- SiW₁₁O₃₉Sm(H₂O)₄]⁵⁻ subunit. The two adjacent [α-SiW₁₁O₃9Sm(H₂O)4]⁵⁻ subunits are combined with each other through two Sm(1)-O-W bridges accompanying the formation of dimmer structural unit [α-SiW₁₁O₃₉Sm(H₂O)₄]₂ ¹⁰⁻ of the title compound. The neighboring dimmer structural units [α-SiW₁₁O₃₉Sm(H₂O)₄]₂ ¹⁰⁻ are linked to form the 1D chainlike structure by means of two Sm³⁺(2) and a Na⁺(1) coordination cations. The K⁺(1) cations connect the 1D packing chains constructing the 2D netlike structure, and adjacent netlike layers are also grafted by K⁺(2) cations to build the novel 3D infinitely extended structure. The result of TG-DTA curves manifests that the decomposition temperature of the title polyanionic framework is 554°C. The cyclic voltammetry measurements show that the title polyanion has the two-step redox processes in aqueous solution with pH = 3.1. Variable temperature magnetic susceptibility indicates the title compound obeys the Cruie-Weiss Law in the higher temperature range from 110 to 300 K, while in the lower temperature range from 2 to 110 K the comparatively strong antiferromagnetism interactions can be observed.     

Photoluminescence of samarium-doped TiO2 nanotubes

Samarium (Sm)-modified TiO₂ nanotubes (TNTs) were synthesized by low-temperature soft chemical processing. X-ray powder diffraction analyses of the synthesized Sm-doped and non-doped TNTs show a broad peak near 2θ=10°, which is typical of TNTs. The binding energy of Sm ³d_5/2 for 10 mol% Sm-doped TNT (1088.3 eV) was chemically shifted from that of Sm₂O₃ (1087.5 eV), showing that Sm existed in the TiO₂ lattice. Sm-doped TNTs clearly exhibited red fluorescence, corresponding to the doped Sm³⁺ ion in the TNT lattice. The Sm-doped TNT excitation spectrum exhibited a broad curve, which was similar to the UV–vis optical absorption spectrum. Thus, it was considered that the photoluminescence emission of Sm³⁺-doped TNT with UV-light irradiation was caused by the energy transfer from the TNT matrix via the band-to-band excitation of TiO₂ to the Sm³⁺ ion.

Electrochemical Behaviour and Chemical Species of Sm(II) in AlCl3-NaCl with Different Lewis Acidity

AlCl₃-NaCl was utilized as an electrolyte in this work due to its low melting point and Lewis acidity, in which samarium exists in two oxidation states, Sm(III) and Sm(II), resulting in unique electrochemical behaviours. Sm metal dissolves in AlCl₃-NaCl melt to form SmCl₂, which is verified by electrochemical and spectroscopic techniques. As the Lewis acidity of the melt increases, the diffusion coefficient of Sm(II) gradually increases, and the activation energy of diffusion decreases. Moreover, an additional co-reduction peak of Sm³⁺ and AlCl₄⁻ is observed to be more positive than that of Al(0)/Al(III) in Lewis basic melt, which may be tightly correlated with the variation of Sm(II) coordination in AlCl₃-NaCl melt and ligand variation from Cl⁻ to AlCl₄⁻ and Al₂Cl₇⁻ as the Lewis acidity of the AlCl₃-NaCl melt increases, according to the in situ electronic absorption spectra of Sm in this melt.
