Synthesis and magnetic properties of lanthanum orthovanadate nanorods

In the present paper, single‐crystalline lanthanum orthovanadate (LaVO₄) nanorods were synthesized by an ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA)‐mediated hydrothermal method. The resulting products were characterized using XRD, SEM, TEM and HRTEM. The experimental results illustrated that the morphologies and microstructures of LaVO₄ nanorods were influenced by EDTA and pH value of the precursor solution. The magnetic properties measurements showed that the magnetocrystalline anisotropy was greatly strengthened by the strong effect of the one‐dimensional anisotropy, and the magnetic properties of LaVO₄ nanorods are better than that of LaVO₄ nanoparticles. The growth mechanism of LaVO₄ nanorods was also discussed. (© 2007 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

A Thermal And Structural Study on Lanthanum Hexacyanocobaltate(III) Pentahydrate. Part II

The thermal dehydration of La[Co(CN)₆]⋅5H₂O proceeded through at least three stages from the temperature range of30~230°C, and an abrupt mass loss occurred around 350°C and the perovskite type oxide,LaCoO₃ was obtained at 1000°C. After dehydration, the color of the anhydride changed from white to pale blue around 230°C and furthermore, the color changed to blue around 290°C. These color changes were discussed on the basis of the changes of coordination structures around Co ions. In La[Co(CN)₆]⋅5H₂O, Co³⁺ ions lie at the center of the O_h crystal field consisted of six CN^– ions. However, in the pale blue specimen, Co³⁺ ions were situated in the center of D_4h crystal field which was distorted the O_h one by lengthening of the trans CN^– ions along z-axis. In the blue specimen, Co³⁺ ions were reduced to Co²⁺ ions which were situated in the T_d crystal field formed by four CN^–ions as [Co(CN)₄]^2–.

Thermodynamic approach of spin-state excitations in LaCoO3

Magnetic susceptibility and heat capacity due to spin-state excitations in LaCoO₃ were analyzed with an irregular solution model composed of Co³⁺ ions in the low-spin ground state and in the high-spin excited state. An energy-levels diagram proposed by Ropka and Radvanskii [1] was used for the high-spin excited state. This analysis showed that the entropy of mixing is less than that of ideal solutions and the enthalpy of mixing is negative, indicating that the high-spin Co ions are arranged as far apart as possible.     

Ring‐opening polymerization of 1,4‐dioxan‐2‐one initiated by lanthanum isopropoxide in bulk

Lanthanum isopropoxide (La(OiPr)₃) has been synthesized and employed for ring‐opening polymerization of 1,4‐dioxan‐2‐one in bulk as a single‐component initiator. The influences of reaction conditions such as initiator concentration, reaction time, and reaction temperature on the polymerization were investigated. The kinetics indicated that the polymerization is first‐order with respect to the monomer concentration. The Mechanistic investigations according to ¹H NMR spectrum analysis demonstrated that the polymerization of PDO proceeded through a coordination‐insertion mechanism with a rupture of the acyl‐oxygen bond of the monomer rather than the alkyl‐oxygen bond cleavage. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Hydrogen production via autothermal reforming of ethanol over noble metal catalysts supported on oxides

Hydrogen was produced over noble metal (Ir, Ru, Rh, Pd) catalysts supported on various oxides, including γ-Al2O3, CeO2, ZrO2 and La2O3, via the autothermai reforming reaction of ethanol (ATRE) and oxidative reforming reaction of ethanol (OSRE). The conversion of ethanol and selectivites for hydrogen and byproducts such as methane, ethylene and acetaldehyde were studied. It was found that lanthana alone possessed considerable activity for the ATRE reaction, which could be used as a functional support for ATRE catalysts. It was demonstrated that Ir/La2O3 prevented the formation of methane, and Rh/La2O3 encumbered the production of ethylene and acetaldehyde. ATRE reaction was carried out over La2O3-supported catalysts (Ir/La2O3) with good stability on stream, high conversion, and excellent hydrogen selectivity approaching thermodynamic limit under autothermal condition. Typically, 3.4 H2 molecules can be extracted from a pair of ethanol and water molecules over Ir(5wt%)/La2O3. The results presented in this paper indicate that Ir/La2O3 can be used as a promising catalyst for hydrogen production via ATRE reaction from renewable ethanol.     

Adsorption of the lanthanum and thorium cryptates at mercury electrode

The adsorption behavior of cryptates of La³⁺ and Th⁴⁺ cations at the Hg/aqueous solution interface is studied by using the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy method. It was shown that the studied complexes have high surface activity at the interface. The lanthanum cryptate adsorption parameters are found using the regression analysis based on the two parallel capacitor model supplemented by the Frumkin adsorption isotherm. The differential capacitance curves calculated by using these parameters agree satisfactorily with the experimental ones. The more complicated adsorption behavior of lanthanum cryptate, as compared with the complexes of lower valence cations, is interpreted with taking into consideration the strong interaction of the La³⁺ cation contained in the [2.2.2.] cryptand intramolecular cavity with the supporting electrolyte anions.
