Rare-earth metal(III) oxide selenides M4O4Se[Se2] (M=La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm) with discrete diselenide units: crystal structures, magnetic frustration, and other properties

The rare-earth metal(III) oxide selenides of the formula La4O4Se[Se2], Ce4O4Se[Se2], Pr4O4Se[Se2], Nd4O4Se[Se2], and Sm4O4Se[Se2] were synthesized from a mixture of the elements with selenium dioxide as the oxygen source at 750 degrees C. Single crystal X-ray diffraction was used to determine their crystal structures. The isostructural compounds M4O4Se[Se2] (M=La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm) crystallize in the orthorhombic space group Amm2 with cell dimensions a=857.94(7), b=409.44(4), c=1316.49(8) pm for M=La; a=851.37(6), b=404.82(3), c=1296.83(9) pm for M=Ce; a=849.92(6), b=402.78(3), c=1292.57(9) pm for M=Pr; a=845.68(4), b=398.83(2), c=1282.45(7) pm for M=Nd; and a=840.08(5), b=394.04(3), c=1263.83(6) pm for M=Sm (Z=2). In their crystal structures, Se2- anions as well as [Se-Se]2- dumbbells interconnect {[M4O4]4+} infinity 2 layers. These layers are composed of three crystallographically different, distorted [OM4]10+ tetrahedra, which are linked via four common edges. The compounds exhibit strong Raman active modes at around 215 cm(-1), which can be assigned to the Se-Se stretching vibration. Optical band gaps for La4O4Se[Se2], Ce4O4Se[Se2], Pr4O4Se[Se2], Nd4O4Se[Se2], and Sm4O4Se[Se2] were derived from diffuse reflectance spectra. The energy values at which absorption takes place are typical for semiconducting materials. For the compounds M4O4Se[Se2] (M=La, Pr, Nd, Sm) the fundamental band gaps, caused by transitions from the valence band to the conduction band (VB-CB), lie around 1.9 eV, while for M=Ce an absorption edge occurs at around 1.7 eV, which can be assigned to f-d transitions of Ce3+. Magnetic susceptibility measurements of Ce4O4Se[Se2] and Nd4O4Se[Se2] show Curie-Weiss behavior above 150 K with derived experimental magnetic moments of 2.5 micro B/Ce and 3.7 micro B/Nd and Weiss constants of theta p=-64.9 K and theta p=-27.8 K for the cerium and neodymium compounds, respectively. Down to 1.8 K no long-range magnetic ordering could be detected. Thus, the large negative values for theta p indicate the presence of strong magnetic frustration within the compounds, which is due to the geometric arrangement of the magnetic sublattice in form of [OM4]10+ tetrahedra.     

Cs3AgAs4Se8 and CsAgAs2Se4: selenoarsenates with infinite 1 infinity[AsSe2]- chains in different Ag+ coordination environments

Two quaternary silver selenoarsenates Cs3AgAs4Se8 (I) and CsAgAs2Se4 (II) have been discovered by methanothermal reaction of Li3AsSe3 with AgBF4 in the presence of the respective alkali metal sources Cs2CO3 and CsCl. Orange crystals of Cs3AgAs4Se8 (I) were formed after reaction at 120 degrees C for 72 h, whereas red CsAgAs2Se4 (II) was obtained under slightly different conditions at 140 degrees C for 70 h. Both compounds possess novel two-dimensional (2D) polyanions consisting of infinite 1 infinity[AsSe2]- chains that are interconnected by Ag+ ions in different coordination patterns. In I, a double layer of 1 infinity[AsSe2]- chains is bridged by distorted trigonal planar coordinated Ag+ atoms to form a 2 infinity[AgAs4Se8]3- layer with a thickness of about 11.3 A. The nonbonding Ag...Ag distances are about 4.220 A, and large cavities within the layers accommodate for three of the four crystallographic Cs+ cations. The double amount of Ag+ atoms per AsSe2 chain unit in II leads to simple layers 2 infinity[AgAs2Se4]- [=[Ag2As4Se8]2-] in which the Ag+ atoms are arranged in rows between the 1 infinity[AsSe2]- chains, with alternating Ag...Ag distances of 3.053(3) and 3.488(3) A. Hereby the 1 infinity[AsSe2]- polyanions show a disorder within the central (-As-Seb)- chain (b = bridging), while the positions of the terminal Se atoms (Set) remain unaffected. The thermal, optical, and spectroscopic properties of the compounds are reported. Both I and II melt with decomposition and are wide band gap semiconductors with values of 2.07 and 1.79 eV, respectively. Raman spectroscopic data show typical band patterns expected for infinite [AsSe2]- chains. Crystal Data: Cs3AgAs4Se8 (I), monoclinic, C2/c, a = 25.212(2) A, b = 8.0748(7) A, c = 22.803(2) A, beta = 116.272(2) degrees, Z = 8; CsAgAs2Se4 (II), monoclinic, P2(1)/n, a = 10.9211(1) A, b = 6.5188(2) A, c = 13.7553(3) A, beta = 108.956(1) degrees, Z = 4.     

Cu4Mo6Se8: synthesis, crystal structure, and electronic structure of a new Chevrel phase structure type

Cu4Mo6Se8 has been synthesized by intercalation of Cu into Cu2Mo6Se8 at room temperature, and its crystal structure has been determined. This compound crystallizes in the triclinic space group P, with a = 6.7609(8) A, b = 6.8122(7) A, c = 7.9355(10) A, alpha = 70.739(4) degrees , beta = 72.669(4) degrees , gamma = 84.555(5) degrees , and Z = 1. Instead of residing in the voids between corners or edges of Mo6Se8 clusters as in the classic R Chevrel structure, the Cu atoms in Cu4Mo6Se8 fully occupy four sites between faces of two adjacent Mo6Se8 clusters. Thus, two of the six Mo atoms in each cluster do not have capping Se atoms from neighboring clusters. This represents a new triclinic structure type for Chevrel phases. In addition to the synthesis and crystal structure, we present and discuss results from electronic structure calculations using both extended Hückel and density functional theory. These calculations predict Cu4Mo6Se8 to be metallic. We also report results from Cu intercalation into Chevrel phase sulfides and tellurides. Preliminary experiments suggest that a telluride analogue of Cu4Mo6Se8 exists.     

Structural studies on single crystals of Chevrel phase selenides REMo6Se8 (RE = La,Ce, Pr,Nd, or Sm) at 298 K

We report on structural studies at room temperature of rare-earth based Chevrel phase selenides of the formula RExMo6Se8, where RE stands for a light rare-earth La (1), Ce (2), Pr (3), Nd (4), or Sm (5). The single crystals were grown at 1650 degrees C < T < 1690 degrees C from off-stoichiometric starting compositions, with the exception of 3, which was grown at 1710 degrees C from a stoichiometric charge (congruently melting material). The crystal structures were solved in space group R3 (No. 148; Z = 1) and found to be isostructural with the well-known Chevrel phases having large cations (e.g., PbMo6S8, REMo6S8). The structures are based on Mo6Se8 metallic clusters that are slightly rotated inside a pseudocubic rare-earth sublattice. Structural refinements revealed that the origin site, occupied by the RE atoms, exhibits slight deficiencies, leading to a RExMo6Se8 composition, with x ranging between approximately 0.82 and approximately 0.92: 1 La0.88Mo6Se8, arh = 6.7577(9) A, alpha rh = 88.62(2) degrees; 2a Ce0.82Mo6Se8, arh = 6.7407(6) A, alpha rh = 88.83(2) degrees; 2b Ce0.92Mo6Se8, arh = 6.7473(9) A, alpha rh = 88.69(2) degrees; 3 Pr0.86Mo6Se8, arh = 6.7385(6) A, alpha rh = 88.81(2) degrees; 4 Nd0.85Mo6Se8, arh = 6.7286(5) A, alpha rh = 88.85(1) degrees; and 5 Sm0.87Mo6Se8, arh = 6.7182(2) A, alpha rh = 88.956(3) degrees. All of the structural data presented in this work (lattice constants, positional parameters and interatomic distances) concern an average RE content of x approximately 0.87. In this way, any influence due to electronic effects (VEC number) can be discarded, and exact correlations between these parameters and the ionic radius of the rare-earth atoms can then be established.     

Synthesis and Characterization of a Tetranuclear [Sm_2Co_2] Heterometallic Compound

A new tetranuclear square compound (H3O)[Sm2Co2(CDTA)2(DMF)2 (μ4-O) (H2O)6]ClO4 was synthesized through the assembly reaction of Co2+ , Sm3+ and trans-1,2-cclohexylenedinitrilotetraacetic acid (H4CDTA) in aqueous solution. X-ray crystal structural analysis shows that the compound belongs to the monoclinic C2/c space group, with a=27.213(2), b=10.5574(9), c=19.4923(17),β=98.799(1)°, V=5534.1(8)3 , C34H65ClCo2N6O30Sm2 , Mr=1491.93, Dc=1.791g/cm-3 , F(000)=2984,=2.820 mm-1 and Z=4. In the compound, Co2+ is 7-coordianted while Sm3+ is 9-coordinated. With the help of a central O2- and 8 carboxylate oxygen atoms, two Co2+ and two Sm3+ ions are linked into a square with the side length of 3.45 . Magnetic property was investigated.     

Synthesis and structure of mercurous ion and dinuclear lead(II) complexes of the 28-membered selenaaza macrocycle: dominance of the chelate ring size effect and conformational requirement over soft-soft interactions

The flexible and larger ring size macrocycle 4 (C(36)H(46)N(6)Se(2)) afforded stable complex 5 [Hg(2)(PF(6))(2)[C(36)H(46)N(6)Se(2)]] on treatment with 1 equiv of mercuric acetate followed by addition of NH(4)PF(6). The reaction of Pb(OCOCH(3))(2).4H(2)O with 4 followed by treatment with NH(4)PF(6) resulted in a dinuclear lead complex (6) [Pb(2)(PF(6))(2)(OCOCH(3))(2)[C(36)H(46)N(6)Se(2)]]. The crystal structures of complexes 5 and 6 are described: C(36)H(46)F(12)Hg(2)N(6)P(2)Se(2) a = 9.5106(5) A, b = 11.5222(6) A, c = 11.8161(6) A, alpha = 115.6110(10) degrees , beta = 96.5190(10) degrees , gamma = 106.2910(10) degrees , monoclinic, P, Z =1; C(44)H(57)F(12)N(8)O(4)P(2)Pb(2)Se(2) a = 9.4668(5) A, b = 11.9937(6) A, c = 25.2319(14) A, alpha = 102.4130(10) degrees , beta = 97.6130(10) degrees , gamma = 94.8540(10) degrees , monoclinic, P, Z = 2. The crystal structure of 5 revealed that Hg(2)(2+) is trapped inside the cavity of the macrocycle. The geometry around the mercurous ion is antiprismatic with Hg(2)(2+) coordinating to six nitrogen atoms forming four five-membered rings, and there is no interaction between the mercurous ion and the selenium donor atoms. The single crystal X-ray crystal structure of 6 indicates a distorted octahedral geometry around each lead atom in the cavity of the macrocycle due to presence of the sterochemically active lone pair on Pb(II). The octahedral geometry around each Pb(II) is satisfied by coordination to 3 nitrogen atoms, two oxygen atoms of the chelating acetate group, and bridging of one of the oxygen atoms of the nearby acetate.

Syntheses; 77Se, 203Tl, and 205Tl NMR; and theoretical studies of the Tl2Se6(6-), Tl3Se6(5-), and Tl3Se7(5-) anions and the X-ray crystal structures of [2,2,2-crypt-Na]4[Tl4Se8].en and [2,2,2-crypt-Na]2[Tl2Se4](infinity)1.en

The 2,2,2-crypt salts of the Tl4Se8(4-) and [Tl2Se4(2-)]infinity1 anions have been obtained by extraction of the ternary alloy NaTl0.5Se in ethylenediamine (en) in the presence of 2,2,2-crypt and 18-crown-6 followed by vapor-phase diffusion of THF into the en extract. The [2,2,2-crypt-Na]4[Tl4Se8].en crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2(1)/n, with Z = 2 and a = 14.768(3) angstroms, b = 16.635(3) angstroms, c = 21.254(4) angstroms, beta = 94.17(3) degrees at -123 degrees C, and the [2,2,2-crypt-Na]2[Tl2Se4]infinity1.en crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2(1)/c, with Z = 4 and a = 14.246(2) angstroms, b = 14.360(3) angstroms, c = 26.673(8) angstroms, beta = 99.87(3) degrees at -123 degrees C. The TlIII anions, Tl2Se6(6-) and Tl3Se7(5-), and the mixed oxidation state TlI/TlIII anion, Tl3Se6(5-), have been obtained by extraction of NaTl0.5Se and NaTlSe in en, in the presence of 2,2,2-crypt and/or in liquid NH3, and have been characterized in solution by low-temperature 77Se, 203Tl, and 205Tl NMR spectroscopy. The 1J(203,205Tl-77Se) and 2J(203,205Tl-203,205Tl) couplings of the three anions have been used to arrive at their solution structures by detailed analyses and simulations of all spin multiplets that comprise the 205,203Tl NMR subspectra arising from natural abundance 205,203Tl and 77Se isotopomer distributions. The structure of Tl2Se6(6-) is based on a Tl2Se2 ring in which each thallium is bonded to two exo-selenium atoms so that these thalliums are four-coordinate and possess a formal oxidation state of +3. The Tl4Se8(4-) anion is formally derived from the Tl2Se6(6-) anion by coordination of each pair of terminal Se atoms to the TlIII atom of a TlSe+ cation. The structure of the [Tl2Se4(2-)]infinity1 anion is comprised of edge-sharing distorted TlSe4 tetrahedra that form infinite, one-dimensional [Tl2Se42-]infinity1 chains. The structures of Tl3Se6(5-) and Tl3Se7(5-) are derived from Tl4Se4-cubes in which one thallium atom has been removed and two and three exo-selenium atoms are bonded to thallium atoms, respectively, so that each is four-coordinate and possesses a formal oxidation state of +3 with the remaining three-coordinate thallium atom in the +1 oxidation state. Quantum mechanical calculations at the MP2 level of theory show that the Tl2Se6(6-), Tl3Se6(5-), Tl3Se7(5-), and Tl4Se8(4-) anions exhibit true minima and display geometries that are in agreement with their experimental structures. Natural bond orbital and electron localization function analyses were utilized in describing the bonding in the present and previously published Tl/Se anions, and showed that the Tl2Se6(6-), Tl3Se6(5-), Tl3Se7(5-), and Tl4Se8(4-) anions are electron-precise rings and cages.     

Si extraction from silica in a basic polychalcogenide flux. Stabilization of Ba4SiSb2Se11, a novel mixed selenosilicate/selenoantimonate with a polar structure

An unusual compound, Ba4SiSb2Se11, was discovered from a reaction of Ba/Th/Sb/Se. It is assumed that Si was extracted from the silica reaction tube. It forms as silver needlelike crystals in the polar space group Cmc2(1) with a = 9.3981(3) A, b = 25.7192(7) A, c = 8.7748(3) A, and Z = 4. A rational synthesis has been devised at 600 degrees C. The compound is composed of Ba2+ ions stabilized between infinite one-dimensional [SiSb2Se11]8- chains running parallel to the a axis. Each chain is composed of a [SbSe2]- infinity backbone with [SiSe4]4- tetrahedra chelating every other Sb atom from the same side of the backbone. The V-shaped triselenide groups, (Se3)2-, are attached to the rest of the Sb atoms in the chain through one of their terminal Se atoms. The compound has a band gap of 1.43 eV. The Raman spectrum shows a broad shift at 247 cm-1 and a shoulder around 234 cm-1, which are related to the Se-Se vibration of the triselenide groups and/or the Si-Se vibrations of the [SiSe4]4- groups. The compound decomposes at 522 degrees C.
