Phase transition studies in CoSiF6·6H2O and Co1−xZnxSiF6·6H2O by Mn(II) EPR

Phase transition studies on single crystals of CoSiF₆·6H₂O and Co_1−xZn_xSiF₆·6H₂O (x = 0.082, 0.182, 0.248) using Mn(II) EPR at X-band were carried out in the temperature range 10–300 K. Phase transitions with considerable thermal hysteresis have been detected in CoSiF₆·6H₂O and Co_1−xZn_xSiF₆·OH₂O (x = 0.082, 0.182). In CoSiF₆·6H₂O, the transition temperatures during cooling (T^c_c) and during heating (T^h_c) were found to be considerably less than those obtained previously from magnetic anisotropy experiments, i.e. 230 and 246 K as against 246 and 259 K. These characteristic temperatures for the dilute crystals having x = 0.082 and 0.182 were 205, 218 K and 175, 185 K, respectively. It is thus evident that magnetic dilution with zinc causes a progressive reduction in the transition temperatures as well as in the thermal hysteresis. The phase transition manifests itself in a large discontinuous increase in the Mn(II) zero-field splitting parameter (D), i.e. from −187 ± 1 G to −290 ± 1 G, in these crystals. The hyperfine coefficient (A) also increases discontinuously from 99 ± 1 G to 102 ± 1 G at T_c. In the dilute crystal with x = 0.248 a very slow continuous decrease in D and practically no change in A have been detected with a lowering of the temperature. A small temperature independent positive g-shift (g = 2.020 ± 0.005) has been observed in all the crystals studied. The spin-lattice relaxation time (T₁) of the Co(II) ion in CoSiF₆·6H₂O at different temperatures, both above and below T_c, has been estimated from the observed Mn(II) hyperfine linewidth. A discontinuous change in T₁ at T_c has been observed. Analysis of the temperature dependence of the linewidth has further revealed that a two-level Orbach process describes well the thermal behaviour of the spin-lattice relaxation of the Co(II) ions in these crystals. The location of the first excited level in CoSiF₆·6H₂O determined from such studies at temperatures both above and below T_c has been examined in the light of the ligand field energy scheme of the Co(II) ion in an octahedral field. It is concluded that the phase transition in this crystal is probably accompanied by a change in sign of the axial field parameter (Δ).     

Kinetics of Heterogeneous Isotopic Exchange of 60Co/Co3Co(CN)6 2 · 12 H2O in Aqueous Solution

The heterogeneous exchange reaction between cobalt ions in solution and Co₃Co(CN)_{6 2} · 12 H₂O has been studied. It is found that the exchange rate increases as the concentration of Co²⁺ ions in solution decreases. The results show that the exchange rate is controlled by the surface reaction at the solid-liquid interface. The activation parameters E_a, ΔH^#, ΔS^#, and ΔG^# are calculated.     

Ferromagnetic Interaction between Copper and Terbium Ions in Pentanuclear Cluster [Cu3Tb2(ClCH2COO)12(H2O)8] · 2H2O

For the first time the exchange interaction between copper and non-Kramers Tb³⁺ ions was studied by means of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR). Features of the manifestation of this interaction in the EPR spectra of dimer fragments Cu–Tb and pentanuclear fragments Cu–Tb–Cu–Tb–Cu are analyzed. The possibility to determine the sign and value of this interaction from EPR spectra for the case when the lowest states of Tb³⁺ are the states |0〉, | ± 1〉 is shown. The exchange interaction between copper and trivalent terbium ions in the studied pentanuclear complex is ferromagnetic. Authors' address: Violeta K.

New trends along hydrogen polyoxides: unusually long oxygen–oxygen bonds in H2O6 and H2O7

By means of coupled cluster, G4 and B3LYP calculations, we characterised polyoxides H₂O₆ and H₂O₇. These two molecules behave very differently from lower polyoxides, given that some isomers present unusual bonding. In the case of H₂O₆, the central OO bond is predicted, to be 1.909 Å, at the CCSD(T)/cc-pVTZ level. Two conformational isomers of H₂O₆ display nearly the same enthalpy of formation, but only one of them has extremely long OO bonds. For H₂O₇, the most stable isomer also has two unusually long OO bonds. At the CCSD(T) level, and after extrapolation to the complete basis set limit, this isomer is predicted to be 5.37 kcal mol^–1 more stable than the one with short OO bonds, and the longest OO bond distance is expected to be close to 1.96 Å. Analysis of correlation energies indicated that the new isomers found for H₂O₆ and H₂O₇ are among the most strongly correlated molecules that can be formed with first-row atoms.

Effect of hydrostatic pressure and temperature on the EPR spectrum of the Mn2+ ion in Zn(BF4)2 · 6H2O

A study of the effect of hydrostatic pressure and temperature on the EPR spectrum of the Mn²⁺ ion in Zn(BF₄)₂ · 6H₂O is reported. The break in the temperature dependence of the b ₂ ⁰ parameter at 196 K is evidence of the existence of a phase transition accompanied by a change in the thermal expansion coefficient. It is shown that pressure considerably affects the spectral parameters by reducing the axial parameter b ₂ ⁰ and increasing the cubic one, b ₄ ⁰ . At 9 kbar, the b ₂ ⁰ parameter is temperature independent. A comparison of the pressure dependences of the spectra of Zn(BF₄)₂ · 6H₂O, ZnSiF₆ · 6H₂O, ZnTiF₆ · 6H₂O, and MgSiF₂ · 6H₂O crystals suggests equal hydrogen-bond lengths in these compounds. A ligand hyperfine structure has been detected, which originates from the Zeeman interaction with the proton nuclei surrounding Mn²⁺ and manifests itself in the formation of satellites at each EPR line, their separation being proportional to the magnetic field. The nonlinear pressure dependence of the linewidth is related to the structural features of the crystal under study.     

Structure and magnetotransport properties of the new quasi-two-dimensional molecular metal β″-(BEDT-TTF)4H3O[Fe(C2O4)3] · C6H4Cl2

The β″-(BEDT-TTF)₄A^I[M^III(C₂O₄)₃] · G(A^I=NH ₄ ⁺ , H₃O⁺, K⁺, Rb⁺; M^III=Fe, Cr; G = “guest” solvent molecule) family of layered molecular conductors with magnetic metal oxalate anions exhibits a pronounced dependence of the conducting properties on the type of neutral solvent molecules introduced into the complex anion layer. A new organic dichlorobenzene (C₆H₄Cl₂)-containing conductor of this family, namely, β″-(BEDT-TTF)₄H₃O[Fe(C₂O₄)₃] · C₆H₄Cl₂, is synthesized. The structure of the synthesized single crystals studied by X-ray diffraction is characterized by the following parameters: a = 10.421(1) Å, b= 19.991(2) Å, c= 35.441(3) Å, β = 92.87(1)°, V= 7374(1) ų, space groupC2/c, and Z = 4. In the temperature range 0.5&;2-300 K, the conductivity of the crystals is metallic without changing into a superconducting state. The magnetotransport properties of the crystals are examined in magnetic fields up to 17 T at T = 0.5 K. In fields higher than 10 T, Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations are detected, and the Fourier spectrum of these oscillations contains two frequencies with maximum amplitudes of about 80 and 375 T. The experimental results are compared with the related data obtained for other phases of this family. The possible structural mechanisms of the effect of a guest solvent molecule on the transport properties of the β″-(BEDT-TTF)₄A^I[M^III(C₂O₄)₃] · G crystals are analyzed.     

Anomalous temperature dependence of Fe3+ quadrupole interaction in (ND4)2FeCl5·H2O

The quadrupole splitting of the title compound was measured in the 12–295 K temperature range. A strong increase of is observed on cooling. This effect can be explained in terms of thermally activated reorientation of the ND ₄ ⁺ ion, which makes a sizeable contribution to the EFG at the Fe site. Analysis of our data yields an activation energy for the ion's hindered rotation,E/k _B=470±30 K. A comparison with previous results for the non-deuterated salt is made.     

A possible tricritical line in Ni(NO3)2 · 2H2O

We obtain the behaviour of the critical (possibly tricritical) point for metamagnetic Ni(NO₃)₂·2H₂O as a function of several applied hydrostatic pressures up to 11 kbar. The obtained line of possible tricritical points greatly suggests a pressure induced metamagnetic transition in a 0.8 kbar range.     

Cooperative interaction between π-hole and single-electron σ-hole interactions in O2S···NCX···CH3 and O2Se···NCX···CH3 complexes (X = F,Cl, Br and I)

Ab initio calculations are performed to analyse the cooperative effects between π-hole and single-electron σ-hole interactions in O₂S···NCX···CH₃ and O₂Se···NCX···CH₃ complexes, where X = F, Cl, Br and I. These effects are investigated in terms of geometric and energetic features of the complexes, which are computed by UMP2/aug-cc-pVTZ(-PP) method. Our results indicate that the shortening of the each π-hole bond distance in the complexes is dependent on the strength of the σ-hole interaction. The maximum and minimum energetic cooperativity values correspond to the most and least stable complexes studied in the present work. The cooperativity between both types of interaction is chiefly caused by the electrostatic effects. The topological analysis, based on the quantum theory of atoms in molecules, is used to characterise the interactions and analyse their enhancement with varying electron density at bond critical points.
