Erste Pyridylbenzimidazolate der Lanthanide: Synthese,Kristallstruktur und thermischer Abbau von NH4[Ln(N3C12H8)4] mit Ln = Nd,Yb

The First Pyridylbenzimidazolates of the Lanthanides: Syntheses, Crystal Structure and Thermal Decomposition of NH₄[Ln(N₃C₁₂H₈)₄] with Ln = Nd, Yb Transparent yellow crystals of the compounds NH₄ [Ln^III (N₃C₁₂H₈)₄] with Ln = Nd, Yb were obtained by solvent‐free reactions of the lanthanides neodymium and ytterbium with 2‐(2‐Pyridyl)‐benzimidazole. The bulk syntheses lead to isotypic compounds despite the different ionic radii of Nd^III and Yb^III exhibiting nitrogen coordination of the lanthanides only. Both compounds were investigated IR‐ and Raman‐spectroscopically and in regard to their thermal behaviour. They are the first examples of completely solvent‐free (coordinating and non‐coordinating) compounds of the lanthanides with a complete N‐coordination that were obtained via a solid‐state reaction method.     

Zur Darstellung und Struktur neuer Niobate LnNb7O19 (Ln = La,Ce)

Preparation and Structure of LnNb₇O₁₉ (Ln = La, Ce) Two new ternary compounds, LaNb₇O₁₉ and CeNb₇O₁₉, could be prepared and characterized. At temperatures about 900°C already decomposition of both compounds will be initiated, but at lower temperatures (800°C) no reaction between the binary components occured. Single crystals could be obtained by chemical transport reactions (T₂ → T₁; T₂ = 800°C; T₁ = 780°C). Chlorine for mineralization or as transport agent is absolutely indispensable for preparation. Single crystal investigations on LaNb₇O₁₉ (R = 4.4%; R_w = 4.19%) result in the trigonal space group P3. The cell dimensions are a = 6.2531(2) A; c = 20.0685(10) Å; Z = 2. The structure can be described as to be build up by layers of 8-coordinated La and 6-coordinated Nb, alternating with layers of edge-sharing pentagonal NbO₇-bipyramids. Corresponding to the unusual sequence of layers the structure of LnNb₇O₁₉ (Ln = La,Ce) is the first example of a trigonal member of a family of structures, which has been described in detail by Jahnberg. The most examples are represented by tantalates, but only a few niobates related to these structures are known.

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of Tetrakis(pentafluorophenylamino)silane Colourless single-crystals of Tetrakis(pentafluorophenylamino) silane were obtained from the reaction of SiCl₄ with monolithiated pentafluoroaniline at low temperatures. The aminosilane has been characterized by various spectroscopic methods and its crystal structure has been determined by x-ray diffraction (for details see “Inhaltsübersicht”). Thermal condensation has not been achieved. However, reaction of silicon(IV)-chloride with pentafluoroaniline in the presence of triethylamine yielded the respective tricyclosilazane.

Crystal structure variations in the series SrLnCuS3 (Ln = La,Pr, Sm,Gd, Er and Lu)

The crystal structures of the complex sulfides SrLnCuS₃ (Ln = Sm, Gd, Er and Lu) have been determined and refined using powder X‐ray diffraction. The crystals are found to be orthorhombic, with the structure type changing consecutively in the order BaLaCuS₃ → Eu₂CuS₃ → KZrCuS₃ as the Ln³⁺ ionic radius decreases in the order La/Pr → Sm/Gd → Er/Lu. Variations of the structure parameters along the series of compounds studied are analyzed, and an effect caused by crystallochemical contraction on the stabilization of the respective structure types is demonstrated.     

Thioureato-verbrückte zweikernige Komplexe der Lanthanoide Darstellung und Struktur von [{PhC(NPh)NC(S)NEt2}{Et2NC(S)NH}LnBr(thf)]2 (Ln = Gd,Sm)

Thioureato Brigded Binuclear Complexes of the Lanthanides Synthesis and Crystal Structure of [{PhC(NPh)NC(S)NEt₂}{Et₂NC(S)NH}LnBr(thf)]₂ (Ln = Gd, Sm) The reaction of potassium-N-(diethylaminothiocarbonyl)-N′-phenyl-benzamidinat with LnBr₃ (Ln = Gd, Sm) leads to the formation of the binuclear complexes [{PhC(NPh)NC(S)NEt₂}{Et₂NC(S)N}LnBr(thf)]₂} (Ln = Gd 1 , Sm 2 ). The two bridging thiureatoligands are probably built during the reaction of potassium with the starting ligand. Coordination by one N-(diethylaminothiocarbonyl)-N′-phenylbenzamidinato-ligand, one Br-ion and one THF-ligand leads to square antiprismatic coordination of the lanthanoids. The structures of both compounds were characterized by X-ray analysis ( 1 : P1 (Nr.2), Z = 1, a = 12,006(4) Å, b = 12,245(4) Å, c = 13,612(3) Å, α = 70,55(3)°, β = 68,21(3)°, γ = 81,31(3)° 2 : P1 (Nr.2), Z = 1, a = 11,803(3) Å, b = 12,344(5) Å, c = 12,797(8) Å, α = 103,07(5)°, β = 101,76(3)°, γ = 114,13(3)°)

Structures of nonlinear hexagonal boratotungstates Ln3BWO9 (Ln = La, Pr, Nd, Sm, Gd, Tb, Dy)

Polycrystalline boratotungstates of composition Ln₃BWO₉ (Ln = Pr, Nd, Sm, Gd, Tb, Dy) are prepared by solid-phase synthesis and structurally studied. The structures are refined using the Rietveld method for hexagonal space group P6₃ (Z = 2). The boratotungstate structures are frameworks. The rare-earth cations in the structure are coordinated by an array of nine oxygen atoms (three oxygen atoms from borato groups BO₃ and six from WO₆ polyhedra). The nature of the optical nonlinearity in the hexagonal boratotungstates Ln₃BWO₉ is a direct consequence of the acentricity of both the tungstate and the rare-earth polyhedra in the structure. Dimorphism is discovered in polycrystalline La₃BWO₉.     

Ln3UO6Cl3 (Ln=La,Pr, Nd) -. Die ersten Oxochlorouranate der Seltenen Erden

Synthese,Kristallstruktur und thermischer Abbau von Cs1,5[Re3I3Cl7,5(H2O)1,5]

Synthesis, Crystal Structure and Thermal Behaviour of Cs_1,5[Re₃I₃Cl_7,5(H₂O)_1,5] Dark brown tetrahedra of Cs_1,5[Re₃I₃Cl_7,5(H₂O)_1,5] crystallize on slow cooling of a hot saturated solution of ReI₃ and CsCl in conc. hydrochlorid acid. The crystal structure (cubic, P4 3m (No. 215), a = 1241.06(3)pm, V_m = 287.8(1) cm³mol^?1, Z = 4, R = 0.067, R_w = 0.037) is built up from isolated building units [Re₃I₃Cl_7,5(H₂O)_1,5]^1,5? with statistical distribution of chloride ions and water molecules in the in plane, terminal positions. Consistent with the result based on the X-ray analysis, the IR-spectrum shows one band for the OH stretching frequencies of the water molecules coordinated to the Re₃ triangle at 3240 cm^?1. The anions are arranged in the fashion of a cubic closest packing with the cesium ions occupying all octahedral and one quarter of the tetrahedral interstices. Temperature-dependent Guinier-Simon photographs in connection with DTA/TG investigations reveal that Cs_1,5[Re₃I₃Cl_7,5(H₂O)_1,5] releases water at 190°C accompanied with a structural transition and the dehydration product decomposes at 370°C to Cs₂ReCl_6?xI_x, Re₃I_3+yCl_6?y and rhenium metal.     

Calculation of Ln-Ba (Ln = Gd,Pr, Nd,and Sm) phase diagrams

A thermodynamic model of liquid was suggested and Ln-Ba (Ln = Gd, Pr, Nd, and Sm) phase diagrams were calculated on the basis of generalization of literature data on thermodynamic properties and phase equilibria in lanthanide-barium metallic systems. The interaction parameter of Gd_{1 ? x} Ba _x regular melt was estimated on the assumption of a proportionality between the particle-particle interaction energies of liquid lanthanide and liquid barium, on the one hand, and the lanthanide radius, on the other.     

Darstellung,Kristallstruktur und IR-spektroskopische Untersuchung von Phosphor(V)-nitrid-imid,HPN2

Preparation, Crystal Structure, and IR-spectroscopic Investigation of Phosphorus Nitride Imide, HPN₂ Pure and fine crystalline phosphorus nitride imide (HPN₂) is obtained by heterogeneous ammonolysis of P₃N₅ with gaseous NH₃ (T = 580°C, p = 30 bar, 6 d). X-ray powder diffraction data has been used to refine the crystal structure of HPN₂ by the Rietveld full-profile technique (I4 2d; a = 461.82(2) pm, c = 702.04(3) pm; Z = 4; 41 reflections observed, 17° < 2Θ < 125°, CuKα₁, germanium monochromator; R(wp) = 0.072, R(I,hkl) = 0.048). In the solid HPN₂ contains a three-dimensional framework of corner-sharing PN₄-tetrahedra (P N: 159.9(4) pm; P N P: 130.1(4)°. The hydrogen atoms are covalently bonded to half of the nitrogen atoms. The IR spectrum exhibits six vibrational modes v(N H): 3224; v_as(PNP): 1330, 1223; v_as(PNHP): 971, 901: δ(PNP): 531 cm⁻¹).     

Struktur und thermischer Abbau von Bis (1,3-diketonato) cobalt-bisimidazolen

Structure and Thermal Degradation of Bis(1,3-diketonato)cobaltbisimidazoles The crystal structure of Co(bzac)₂(HIm)₂. 2MeOH ( I ) and Co(acac)₂(HIm)₂ ( II ) were determined by x-ray diffraction. II : triclinic, space group P1 , Z = 2, a = 746.3(1), b = 948.2(1), c = 1396.7(2)pm, α = 85.18(1)°, β = 88.96(1)°, γ = 80.72(1)°, R = 3.0% for a total of 2194 observed reflections. I : monoclinic, P2₁/c, Z = 2, a = 964.2(3), b = 864.5(2), c = 1769.8(4)pm, β = 98.87(2)°, R = 4.7% for a total of 967 observed reflections. In both compounds centrosymmetric molecules with two bidentate diketonato groups and two imidazole ligands in trans-position are present. The molecules of II are linked by N? H…?O-bridges within layers, while in the lattice of I by the interaction with methanol molecules N-H…?O-H…?O-bridges are formed. The nature of the H-bridges is the deciding factor for the first step of the thermal degradation of the complexes. The N-H…?O-bridges of II relieves the change of the acidic protons of the imidazole to the acetylacetonato ligands. Therefore in the first step acetylacetone is eliminated. No such bridges are present in the complex I . Therefore, in the first step, imidazole and methanol are removed. On heating in O-donor solvents the reaction of I is quite analogous, and this is the reason for the application of this complex as a latent initiator of the epoxide polymerisation.     

Rb3LnCl6 · 2 H2O (Ln = La?Nd): Darstellung,Kristallstruktur und thermisches Verhalten

Rb₃LnCl₆ · 2 H₂O (Ln = La? Nd): Preparation, Crystal Structure, and Thermal Behaviour The compounds Rb₃LnCl₆ · 2 H₂O (Ln = La? Nd) were prepared from acetic acid as powders. The preparation from aqueous solutions does not yield the pure products because RbCl precipitates as first compound. The structure of Rb₃LaCl₆ · 2 H₂O was determined by X-ray analysis of a single crystal obtained from aqueous solution. The compounds with Ln = La? Nd are isotypic. They crystallize hexagonally in the space group P6₃/m (Rb₃LaCl₆ · 2 H₂O: a = 1 220.4(2) pm, c = 1 688.6(3) (pm) with Z = 6. Anionic trimeric units [Ln₃Cl₁₂(H₂O)₆]^3? are stacked along the c-axis over the corners of the unit cell. In the stacking frequency the units are rotated by 60° with respect to each other around the c-axis. The coordination number (C. N.) of Ln³⁺ is 8, which is satisfied by four bridging and two terminal chloride ions and two water molecules. The coordination spheres of the three rubidium ions in the different atomic positions are composed differently, their C.N. are 9, 8(+1) and 6(+6). The thermal dehydration of the compounds occurs in one step. The hydrates decompose at ca. 100°C to form the anhydrous compounds Rb₂LnCl₅ und RbCl since the anhydrous chlorides Rb₃LnCl₆ are thermodynamically stable above ca. 400°C only.

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of Calcium Imide, CaNH Single-crystals of calcium imide were obtained for the first time by the reaction of a mixture of calcium amide with sodium amide at 850°C in an autoclave for salt melts. After cooling the autoclave to room temperature the crystals are embedded in solid Na which was extracted by liquid ammonia. The structure of calcium imide was determined from single-crystal diffractometer data: space group Fm3 m, Z = 4, a = 5.143(1) Å, R/R_w = 0.032/0.028 mit N(F ${}_{\text{º}}^{\text{2}}$ ? 3σ(F ${}_{\text{º}}^{\text{2}}$ )) = 26, N(Var.) = 5. Ca and N atoms are arranged in the motif of the NaCl structure type. The hydrogen atoms of the imide groups are disordered within the Ca octahedra, and they occupy a six fold split position.
