Formation,growth mechanism and packing sequences of binary alloy cluster anions from laser ablation of mixtures of lead and transition metals

By using laser ablation of the mixtures of a transition metal (M: Ti, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Pd, Ag) plus lead, M/Pb binary cluster anions were observed except for Zn, and the number of transition metal atoms contained in the binary clusters is at most 4. This behavior is different from that reported previously for M/Ge binary clusters. The experiments indicate that it is also very difficult to form Al/Pb clusters. The distribution patterns of M/Pb binary alloy cluster anions are remarkably similar to those of pure Pb clusters, consistent with a formation mechanism in which transition metal atoms are sequentially attached to [M(x-1)Pb(y)](-) clusters and thus form [M(x)Pb(y)](-) clusters by a simple condensation process. As the number of transition metal atoms increases, the intensities of binary clusters gradually decrease. It is proposed that [MPb(4)](-) and [MPb(5)](-) cluster anions might be the unit building blocks of M/Pb binary cluster anions, and the layer packing sequences for magic clusters are predicted on this basis. The [M(x)Pb(y)](-) binary clusters containing 13 atoms (x + y = 13; x not equal 0) are proposed to have an icosahedral structure.     

Fragmentation Behavior and Ionization Potentials of Lead Clusters Pb_n(n≤30)

The properties of Pbn(n=2―30) clusters including binding energies,second differences in energy,and HOMO-LUMO gaps,especially fragmentation energies and ionization potentials,have been studied by ab initio calculation.The main fragmentation products of Pbn+ are shown to be Pb+Pbn-1+ for n≤14 and two small cluster fragments for larger ones with n14.The Pb13+ appears frequently as the products in the fragmentations of large clusters.Also,the calculated ionization potentials of the clusters are consistent with the experiment data.     

Sulfosalts with alkaline earth metals. Centrosymmetric vs acentric interplay in Ba3Sb4.66S10 and Ba2.62Pb1.38Sb4S10 based on the Ba/Pb/Sb ratio. Phases related to arsenosulfide minerals of the rathite group and the novel polysulfide Sr6Sb6S17

The new compounds, Sr6Sb6S17, Ba2.62Pb1.38Sb4S10, and Ba3Sb4.66S10 were prepared by the molten polychalcogenide salt method. Sr6Sb6S17 crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group P2(1)2(1)2(1) with a = 8.2871(9) A, b = 15.352(2) A, c = 22.873(3) A, and Z = 4. This compound presents a new structure type composed of [Sb3S7]5- units and trisulfide groups, (S3)2-, held together by Sr2+ ions. The [Sb3S7]5- fragment is formed from three corner-sharing SbS3 trigonal pyramids. The trisulfide groups are separated from the [Sb3S7]5- unit and embedded between the Sr2+ ions. Ba3Sb4.66S10 and Ba2.62Pb1.38Sb4S10 are not isostructural but are closely related to the known mineral sulfosalts of the rathite group. Ba3Sb4.67S10 is monoclinic P2(1)/c with a = 8.955(2) A, b = 8.225(2) A, c = 26.756(5) A, beta = 100.29(3) degrees, and Z = 4. Ba2.62Pb1.38Sb4S10 is monoclinic P2(1) with a = 8.8402(2) A, b = 8.2038(2) A, c = 26.7623(6) A, beta = 99.488(1) degrees, and Z = 4. The Sb atoms are stabilized in SbS3 trigonal pyramids that share corners to build ribbonlike slabs, which are stitched by Ba/Pb atoms to form layers perpendicular to the c-axis. These materials are semiconductors and show optical band gaps of 2.10, 2.14, and 1.64 eV for Sr6Sb6S17, Ba3Sb4.66S10, and Ba2.62Pb1.38Sb4S10, respectively. Raman spectroscopic characterization is reported. Sr6Sb6S17, Ba3Sb4.66S10, and Ba2.62Pb1.38Sb4S10 melt congruently at 729, 770, and 749 degrees C, respectively.     

Study of Structures and Electronic Properties of Pdn-1Pb and Pdn(n≤8) Clusters

Geometric and electronic properties of Pdn-1Pb and Pdn(n≤8) clusters have been studied by using density functional theory with effective core potentials, focusing on the differences between mono- and bimetallic clusters. The average bond length of Pdn-1Pb (n≤8) bimetallic clusters is longer than that of pure palladium clusters except for n = 2 and 3. The most stable structure of Pdn-1Pb (n≤7) is the singlet where there is at least a Pd or Pb atom on its excited state. The energy gaps of Pd-Pb binary clusters are narrower than those of Pdn clusters, and then the chemical activity is strengthened when Pdn clusters are doped with Pb.     

Reduced mono-, di-, and tetracubane-type clusters containing the [MoFe3S4]2+ core stabilized by tertiary phosphine ligation

Treatment of oxidized clusters [(Cl4cat)(MeCN)MoFe3S4Cl3]2- (1) and [(Meida)MoFe3S4Cl3]2- (2) with tertiary phosphines in the presence of NaBPh4 in acetonitrile results in chloride substitution at the iron sites and the formation of clusters with the reduced [MoFe3S4]2+ core. Thus, 1 is a precursor to [(Cl4cat)(MeCN)MoFe3S4(PR3)3] (R = But (3), Pri (4)) and [(Cl4cat)2(Et3P)2Mo2Fe6S8(PEt3)4] (5). Cluster 2 affords [[(Meida)MoFe3S4(PCy3)3]4Fe2(mu-Cl)L2]3+ (L = THF (6), MeCN (7)). The structures of 3-7 were established by X-ray analysis. Clusters 3 and 4 are single cubanes, centrosymmetric 5 (previously reported in a different space group: Demadis, K. D.; Campana, C. F.; Coucouvanis, D. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1995, 117, 7832) is a double cubane with a rhomboidal Fe2S2 bridge, and 6 and 7 are tetracubanes. In the latter, four Meida oxygen atoms from different cubanes bind each of two central high-spin Fe(II) atoms in trans-Fe(mu-Cl)LO4 coordination. The topology of these clusters is not precedented. Zero-field M?ssbauer parameters for all clusters are reported. Isomer shift considerations suggest the formulation [Mo3+Fe2+2Fe3+S4] for reduced clusters. Voltammetry of 3 and 4 reveals four-member electron transfer series encompassing the oxidation levels [MoFe3S4]4+,3+,2+,+ in the potential interval + 1.0 to -1.3 V vs SCE in dichloromethane. Compared to the clusters with monoanionic ligands at the iron sites, phosphine ligation shifts redox potentials to more positive values. This effect arises from reduction of cluster negative charge and the tendency of phosphines to stabilize lower oxidation states. The synthesis of reduced clusters 4 from 1 and of [Fe4S4(PPri3)4]+ from [Fe4S4Cl4]2- is accompanied by the formation of Pri3PS, detected by 31P NMR, indicating that the phosphine is the reductant. This result implies a similar function of tertiary phosphines in the synthesis of 3 and 5-7. (Cl4cat = tetrachlorocatecholate(2-); Meida = N-methyliminodiacetate(2-).)     

Competing interactions in the tetranuclear spin cluster [Ni[(OH)(2)Cr(bispictn)](3)]I(5).5H(2)O. An inelastic neutron scattering and magnetic study

The properties of the spin state manifold of the tetranuclear cluster Ni[(OH)(2)Cr(bispictn)](3)]I(5).5H(2)O (bispictn = N,N'-bis(2-pyridylmethyl)-1,3-propanediamine) are investigated by combining magnetic susceptibility and magnetization measurements with an inelastic neutron scattering (INS) study on an undeuterated sample of Ni[(OH)(2)Cr(bispictn)](3)]I(5).5H(2)O. The temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility indicates an S = (1)/(2) ground state, which requires antiferromagnetic interactions both between Cr(3+) and Ni(2+) ions and among the Cr(3+) ions. INS reveals potential single-ion anisotropies to be negligibly small and enables an accurate determination of the exchange parameters. The best fit to the experimental energy level diagram is obtained by an isotropic spin Hamiltonian H = J(CrNi)(S(1)().S(4)() + S(2)().S(4)() + S(3)().S(4)()) + J(CrCr)(S(1)().S(2)() + S(1)().S(3)() + S(2)().S(3)()) with J(CrNi) = 1.47 cm(-)(1) and J(CrCr) = 1.25 cm(-)(1). With this model, the experimental intensities of the observed INS transitions as well as the temperature dependence of the magnetic data are reproduced. The resulting overall antiferromagnetic exchange is rationalized in terms of orbital exchange pathways and compared to the situation in oxalato-bridged clusters.     

Layered heterometallic iodoplumbate containing a novel Pb3Cu6I16 net: structure and optical properties
