Crystal and Molecular Structures of C6H5CH2SOCH2CONHCH2C6H5 and C6H5SOCH2CON(iC3H7)2

Abstract  The crystal structures for two of the ligands C₆H₅CH₂SOCH₂CONHCH₂C₆H₅ (1) and C₆H₅SOCH₂CON(ⁱC₃H₇)₂ (2) have been determined by X-ray diffraction. These compounds crystallize in orthorhombic system with space groups and cell parameters, Pca21(no. 29), a = 8.4600(5) ?, b = 5.3534(5) ?, c = 32.136(2) ?, V = 1455.42(15) ?³ and Pna21(no. 33) a = 17.5563(11) ?, b = 5.7902(4) ?, c = 14.2866(9) ?, V = 1452.30(16) ?³, respectively. These molecules are stabilized in solid state by various intra and intermolecular hydrogen bonding interactions to give polymeric structures. The reported IR spectra of these compounds in solid state could be explained on the basis of the observed intermolecular hydrogen bonding interactions. Index Abstract  The title compounds C₆H₅CH₂SOCH₂CONHCH₂C₆H₅ (1) and C₆H₅SOCH₂CON(ⁱC₃H₇)₂ (2) were prepared by the oxidation of corresponding sulfides with H₂O₂/SeO₂ in methanol and their structures were determined.

Enantiomorphism of the Ca3Ga2Ge4O14 compound and comparison of the Ca3Ga2Ge4O14 and Sr3Ga2Ge4O14 structures

The absolute crystal structures of two enantiomorphic forms of the Ca₃Ga₂Ge₄O₁₄ crystals (a = 8.075(1) ?, c = 4.9723(6) ?, space group P321) with the positive and negative senses of the optical activity are determined using X-ray diffraction analysis. The final R factors are as follows: R = 1.75% and R _w = 2.57% for the crystal with the positive sense of the optical activity and R = 1.86% and R _w = 2.78% for the crystal with the negative sense of the optical activity. The replacement of the Ca²⁺ ions by larger Sr²⁺ ions (with the formation of the Sr₃Ga₂Ge₄O₁₄ compound) leads to an anisotropic expansion of the crystal lattice (with a more considerable increase in the lattice parameter a as compared to the lattice parameter c), a change in the occupation of the 1a and 3f positions by the Ga³⁺ and Ge⁴⁺ ions, and symmetrization of the octahedra and tetrahedra forming the structural framework. The shape of the dodecahedron changes so that its size along the polar electric axis 2 increases significantly. This change is the main factor responsible for the increase in the piezoelectric activity of the Sr₃Ga₂Ge₄O₁₄ compound as compared to the piezoelectric activity of the Ca₃Ga₂Ge₄O₁₄ compound.

Potentiodynamic polarization studies on amorphous Zr46.75Ti8.25Cu7.5Ni10Be27.5, Zr65Cu17.5Ni10Al7.5, Zr67Ni33 and Ti60Ni40 in aqueous HNO3 solutions

Potentiodynamic polarization studies were carried out on virgin specimens of Zr-based bulk amorphous alloys Zr_46.75Ti_8.25Cu_7.5Ni₁₀Be_27.5 and Zr₆₅Cu_17.5Ni₁₀Al_7.5, and conventional-type binary amorphous alloys Zr₆₇Ni₃₃ and Ti₆₀Ni₄₀ in solutions of 0.2 M, 0.5 M and 1.0 M HNO₃ at room temperature. The values of the corrosion current density (I_corr) for the bulk amorphous alloy Zr_46.75Ti_8.25Cu_7.5Ni₁₀Be_27.5 were found to be comparable with those of Zr₆₅Cu_17.5Ni₁₀Al_7.5 in 0.2 M and 0.5 M HNO₃, but the value of I_corr for the former was almost three times more than that of the latter in 1.0 M HNO₃. In the case of conventional binary amorphous alloys, Ti₆₀Ni₄₀ showed lower value of I_corr as compared to Zr₆₇Ni₃₃ in 0.5 M and 1.0 M HNO₃ and a comparable value of I_corr in 0.2 M HNO₃. In general, the binary Ti₆₀Ni₄₀ displayed the best corrosion resistance among all the alloys in all the cases and the corrosion current density (I_corr) for all the alloys was found to increase with the increasing concentration of nitric acid. It is noticed that the bulk amorphous alloys do not possess superior corrosion resistance as compared to conventional binary amorphous alloys in aqueous HNO₃ solutions. The observed differences in their corrosion behavior are attributed to different alloy constituents and composition of the alloys investigated.     

Ionic conduction in As2S3---Ag2S, GeS2---GeS---Ag2S and P2S5---Ag2S glasses

The glass-forming region in the system P---S---Ag was determined and density, thermal expansion, dc conductivity and the transport number of Ag ions were measured for P₂S₅---Ag₂S glasses found in the P---S---Ag system. The results for the transport number measurement show that P₂S₅---Ag₂S glasses are purely ionic conductors owing to the Ag ion migration, like most of the As₂S₃---Ag₂S and GeS₂---GeS---Ag₂S glasses reported previously. Glass structure and ionic conduction processes in As₂S₃---Ag₂S, GeS₂---GeS---Ag₂S and P₂S₅---Ag₂S glasses are discussed, based on their ionic conductivity and density data. The structural concept of -Ag₂S was applied to these glasses, which suggests that the Ag ions in the glasses are distributed in the available Ag ion sites in the non-conducting framework composed of both S anions and As, Ge or P cations. In each system the ionic conductivity increases linearly with increasing Ag⁺/total cation (%) in glass composition, the determining factor being the activation energy for ionic conduction alone. Thus, the activation energy in these glasses depends predominantly upon the molar ratio of Ag ions to total cation in the glass, irrespective of the kind of system. Small differences in the activation energy among the three systems can be interpreted as arising from differences in the field strength of As, Ge and P cations.     

Phase separation and crystallization in the system SiO2-Al2O3-P2O5-B2O3-Na2O glasses

The phase separation and crystallization behavior in the system (80 − X)SiO₂ · X(Al₂O₃ + P₂O₅) · 5B₂O₃ · 15Na₂O (mol%) glasses was investigated. Glasses with X = 20 and 30 phase separated into two phases, one of which is rich in Al₂O₃-P₂O₅-SiO₂ and forms a continuous phase. Glasses containing a larger amount of Al₂O₃-P₂O₅ (X = 40 and 50) readily crystallize and precipitates tridymite type AlPO₄ crystals. It is estimated that the phase separation occurs forming continuous Al₂O₃-P₂O₅-SiO₂ phase at first, and then tridymite type AlPO₄ crystals precipitate and grow in this phase. Highly transparent glass-ceramics comparable to glass can be successfully obtained by controlling heat treatment precisely. The crystal size and percent crystallinity of these transparent glass-ceramics are 20-30 nm and about 50%, respectively.     

Precipitation of In2O3 nano-crystallites from glasses in the system Na2O/B2O3/Al2O3/In2O3

Glasses in the system Na₂O/B₂O₃/Al₂O₃/In₂O₃ were melted and subsequently tempered in the range from 500 to 700 °C. Depending on the chemical composition, various crystalline phases were observed. From samples without Al₂O₃, In₂O₃ could not be crystallized from homogeneous glasses, because either spontaneous In₂O₃ crystallization occurred during cooling, or other phases such as NaInO₂ were formed during tempering. The addition of alumina, however, controlled the crystallization of In₂O₃. Depending on the crystallization temperature applied, the crystallite sizes were in the range from 13 to 53 nm. The glass matrix can be dissolved by soaking the powdered glass in water. This procedure can be used to prepare nano-crystalline In₂O₃-powders.     

Crystal growth of NdAl3(BO3)4 from K2O/MoO3/Nd2O3/B2O3/KF flux

NdAl₃(BO₃)₄ single crystals were grown by the flux method and the TSSG technique using a K₂O/3MoO₃/B₂O₃/0.5Nd₂O₃/KF flux system. Light-violet clear crystals could be obtained. The effects of fluoride on the growth of NAB crystals were investigated. As the content of KF was gradually increased, the growth form of NAB was changed from the equant to the columnar and the primary crystalline region of NAB was shrinked. At the ratio of KF/K₂O = 0.75, NAB crystals could not be grown.     

Spectroscopic properties of Er-doped Na2O-Sb2O3-B2O3-SiO2 glasses

Spectroscopic properties of Er³⁺-doped Na₂O-Sb₂O₃-B₂O₃-SiO₂ glasses have been investigated for developing 1.5-μm broadband fiber amplifiers. An intense 1.5-μm near infrared emission with a broad full width at half maximum (FWHM) of 88 nm has been obtained for Er³⁺-doped 5Na₂O-20Sb₂O₃-35B₂O₃-40SiO₂ glass upon excitation with a 980 nm laser diode. The obtained emission cross-section of the ⁴I_13/2 → ⁴I_15/2 transition and the lifetime of the ⁴I_13/2 level of Er³⁺ ions are 6.8 × 10⁻²¹ cm² and 0.36 ms, respectively. It is noted that the product of the emission cross-section and the FWHM of the glass, σ_e × FWHM, is as great as 598.4 × 10⁻²¹ cm² nm, which is comparable or higher than that of Er³⁺-doped bismuth-based and tellurite-based glasses. These special optical properties encourage in identifying them as important materials for potential applications in high performance optics and optical communication networks.

Refinement of the crystal structures of the La3Ta0.5Ga5.5O14 and La3Nb0.5Ga5.5O14 compounds

This paper reports on the results of accurate X-ray structural investigations of single crystals La₃Ta_0.5Ga_5.5O₁₄ (a = 8.2260(1) ?, c = 5.1207(1) ?, R/R _w = 1.09%/1.10%, 3868 unique reflections) and La₃Nb_0.5Ga_5.5O₁₄ (a = 8.2237(1) ?, c = 5.1247(1) ?, R/R _w = 1.02%/1.03%, 3735 unique reflections) (space group P321, Z = 1, sinϑ/λ|_max ≈ 1.34 ?⁻¹ for both compounds). Using sets of data with a large number of high-angle reflections makes it possible to reliably compare the crystal structures by applying statistical tests. The structural differences between the La₃Ta_0.5Ga_5.5O₁₄ and La₃Nb_0.5Ga_5.5O₁₄ crystals are weakly pronounced, which correlates with the closeness of their piezoelectric characteristics.
