The new cesium pentaborate HP‐CsB5O8 is synthesized under high‐pressure/high‐temperature conditions of 6 GPa and 900 °C in a Walker‐type multianvil apparatus. The compound crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pnma (Z=4) with the parameters a=789.7(1), b=961.2(1), c=836.3(1) pm, V=0.6348(1) nm3, R1=0.0359 and wR2=0.0440 (all data). The new structure type of HP‐CsB5O8 exhibits the simultaneous linkage of trigonal BO3 groups, corner‐sharing BO4 tetrahedra, and edge‐sharing BO4 tetrahedra including the presence of threefold‐coordinated oxygen atoms. With respect to the rich structural chemistry of borates, HP‐CsB5O8 is the second structure type possessing this outstanding combination of the main structural units of borates in one compound. The structure consists of corrugated chains of corner‐ and edge‐sharing BO4 tetrahedra interconnected through BO3 groups forming octagonal channels. Inside these channels, cesium is 13+3‐fold coordinated by oxygen atoms. 11B MQMAS NMR spectra are analyzed to estimate the isotropic chemical shift values and quadrupolar parameters. IR and Raman spectra are obtained and compared to the calculated vibrational frequencies at the Γ‐point. The high‐temperature behavior is examined by means of temperature‐programmed powder diffraction. 相似文献
The chemical and physical properties of phosphorus oxonitride (PON) closely resemble those of silica, to which it is isosteric. A new high‐pressure phase of PON is reported herein. This polymorph, synthesized by using the multianvil technique, crystallizes in the coesite structure. This represents the first occurrence of this very dense network structure outside of SiO2. Phase‐pure coesite PON (coe‐PON) can be synthesized in bulk at pressures above 15 GPa. This compound was thoroughly characterized by means of powder X‐ray diffraction, DFT calculations, and FTIR and MAS NMR spectroscopy, as well as temperature‐dependent diffraction. These results represent a major step towards the exploration of the phase diagram of PON at very high pressures and the possibly synthesis of a stishovite‐type PON containing hexacoordinate phosphorus. 相似文献
The new polymorph of sodium tetraborate HP‐Na2B4O7 was synthesized under high‐pressure / high‐temperature conditions of 6 GPa and 1000 °C in a multianvil apparatus with a Walker‐type module. HP‐Na2B4O7 crystallizes with nine formula units per cell in the trigonal chiral space groups P3221 or P3121. The parameters are a = 765.5(2), c = 2142.3(4) pm, V = 1.0872(3) nm3, R1 = 0.0581, and wR2 = 0.0809 (all data). The crystal structure of HP‐Na2B4O7 is built up from interconnected “sechser” rings of alternating corner‐sharing BO3 and BO4 groups. 相似文献
Phosphorus nitride imide, PN(NH), is of great scientific importance because it is isosteric with silica (SiO2). Accordingly, a varied structural diversity could be expected. However, only one polymorph of PN(NH) has been reported thus far. Herein, we report on the synthesis and structural investigation of the first high‐pressure polymorph of phosphorus nitride imide, β‐PN(NH); the compound has been synthesized using the multianvil technique. By adding catalytic amounts of NH4Cl as a mineralizer, it became possible to grow single crystals of β‐PN(NH), which allowed the first complete structural elucidation of a highly condensed phosphorus nitride from single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction data. The structure was confirmed by FTIR and 31P and 1H solid‐state NMR spectroscopy. We are confident that high‐pressure/high‐temperature reactions could lead to new polymorphs of PN(NH) containing five‐fold‐ or even six‐fold‐coordinated phosphorus atoms and thus rivalling or even surpassing the structural variety of SiO2. 相似文献
To date, the access to the substance class of borates containing nitrogen, for example, nitridoborates, oxonitridoborates, or amine borates, was an extreme effort owing to the difficult starting materials and reaction conditions. Although a number of compounds containing boron and nitrogen are known, no adduct of ammonia to an inorganic borate has been observed so far. A new synthetic approach starting from the simple educts CdO, B2O3, and aqueous ammonia under conditions of 4.7 GPa and 800 °C led to the synthesis of Cd(NH3)2[B3O5(NH3)]2 as the first ammine borate. We thoroughly characterized this compound on the basis of low‐temperature single‐crystal and powder X‐ray diffraction data, IR and Raman spectroscopy, and by quantum theoretical calculations. This contribution shows that the adduct of NH3 to the BO3 group of a complex B–O network can be stabilized, opening up a fundamentally new synthetic route to nitrogen‐containing borates. 相似文献
Coordination numbers higher than usual are often associated with superior mechanical properties. In this contribution we report on the synthesis of the high‐pressure polymorph of highly condensed phosphorus nitride imide P4N6(NH) representing a new framework topology. This is the first example of phosphorus in trigonal‐bipyramidal coordination being observed in an inorganic network structure. We were able to obtain single crystals and bulk samples of the compound employing the multi‐anvil technique. γ‐P4N6(NH) has been thoroughly characterized using X‐ray diffraction, solid‐state NMR and FTIR spectroscopy. The synthesis of γ‐P4N6(NH) gives new insights into the coordination chemistry of phosphorus at high pressures. The synthesis of further high‐pressure phases with higher coordination numbers exhibiting intriguing physical properties seems within reach. 相似文献
High‐pressure modifications of the rare earth oxide fluorides REOF (RE = Pr, Nd, Sm – Gd) were successfully synthesized under conditions of 11 GPa and 1200 °C applying the multianvil high‐pressure/high‐temperature technique. Single crystals of HP‐REOF (RE = Nd, Sm, Eu) were obtained making it possible to analyze the products by means of single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. The compounds HP‐REOF (RE = Nd, Sm, Eu) crystallize in the orthorhombic α‐PbCl2‐type structure (space group Pnma, No. 62, Z = 4) with the parameters a = 632.45(3), b = 381.87(2), c = 699.21(3) pm, V = 0.16887(2) nm3, R1 = 0.0156, and wR2 = 0.0382 for HP‐NdOF, a = 624.38(3), b = 376.87(2), c = 689.53(4) pm, V = 0.16225(2) nm3, R1 = 0.0141, and wR2 = 0.0323 for HP‐SmOF, and a = 620.02(4), b = 374.24(3), c = 686.82(5) pm, V = 0.15937(2) nm3, R1 = 0.0177, and wR2 = 0.0288 for HP‐EuOF. Calculations of the bond valence sums clearly showed that the oxygen atoms occupy the tetrahedrally coordinated position, whereas the fluorine atoms are fivefold coordinated in form of distorted square‐pyramids. The crystal structures and properties of HP‐REOF (RE = Nd, Sm, Eu) are discussed and compared to the isostructural phases and the normal‐pressure modifications of REOF (RE = Nd, Sm, Eu). Furthermore, results of investigations by EDX and Raman measurements including quantum mechanical calculations are presented. 相似文献
The first crystalline phosphorus oxonitride imide H3P8O8N9 (=P8O8N6(NH)3) has been synthesized under high‐pressure and high‐temperature conditions. To this end, a new, highly reactive phosphorus oxonitride imide precursor compound was prepared and treated at 12 GPa and 750 °C by using a multianvil assembly. H3P8O8N9 was obtained as a colorless, microcrystalline solid. The crystal structure of H3P8O8N9 was solved ab initio by powder X‐ray diffraction analysis, applying the charge‐flipping algorithm, and refined by the Rietveld method (C2/c (no. 15), a=1352.11(7), b=479.83(3), c=1820.42(9) pm, β=96.955(4)°, Z=4). H3P8O8N9 exhibits a highly condensed (κ=0.47), 3D, but interrupted network that is composed of all‐side vertex‐sharing (Q4) and only threefold‐linking (Q3) P(O,N)4 tetrahedra in a Q4/Q3 ratio of 3:1. The structure, which includes 4‐ring assemblies as the smallest ring size, can be subdivided into alternating open‐branched zweier double layers {oB,${2{{2\hfill \atop \infty \hfill}}}$ }[2P3(O,N)7] and layers containing pairwise‐linked Q3 tetrahedra parallel (001). Information on the hydrogen atoms in H3P8O8N9 was obtained by 1D 1H MAS, 2D homo‐ and heteronuclear (together with 31P) correlation NMR spectroscopy, and a 1H spin‐diffusion experiment with a hard‐pulse sequence designed for selective excitation of a single peak. Two hydrogen sites with a multiplicity ratio of 2:1 were identified and thus the formula of H3P8O8N9 was unambiguously determined. The protons were assigned to Wyckoff positions 8f and 4e, the latter located within the Q3 tetrahedra layers. 相似文献
The synthesis of the new binary Cs8?xSi46 (shown here) completes the series of binary alkali metal silicides with a clathrate‐I structure M8?xSi46 (M=Na, K, Rb, Cs). In contrast with the lighter homologues, Cs8?xSi46 can be prepared only at elevated pressures. The compound was obtained at 1200 °C between 2–10 GPa and the Cs content rises with applied pressure.
New actinide borates ThB4O8 and UB4O8 were synthesized under high‐pressure, high‐temperature conditions (5.5 GPa/1100 °C for thorium borate, 10.5 GPa/1100 °C for the isotypic uranium borate) in a Walker‐type multianvil apparatus from their corresponding actinide oxide and boron oxide. The crystal structure was determined on basis of single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction data that were collected at room temperature. Both compounds crystallized in the monoclinic space group C2/c (Z=4). Lattice parameters for ThB4O8: a=1611.3(3), b=419.86(8), c=730.6(2) pm; β=114.70(3)°; V=449.0(2) Å3; R1=0.0255, wR2=0.0653 (all data). Lattice parameters for UB4O8: a=1589.7(3), b=422.14(8), c=723.4(2) pm; β=114.13(3)°; V=443.1(2) Å3; R1=0.0227, wR2=0.0372 (all data). The new AnB4O8(An=Th, U) structure type is constructed from corner‐sharing BO4 tetrahedra, which form layers in the bc plane. One of the four independent oxygen atoms is threefold‐coordinated. The actinide cations are located between the boron–oxygen layers. In addition to Raman spectroscopic investigations, DFT calculations were performed to support the assignment of the vibrational bands. 相似文献
High-pressure/high-temperature conditions of 10 GPa and 1150 degrees C were used to synthesize the new rare-earth oxoborates alpha-(RE)(2)B(4)O(9) (RE=Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy) in a Walker-type multianvil apparatus. Single-crystal X-ray structure determination of alpha-(RE)(2)B(4)O(9) (RE=Eu, Gd, Tb) revealed: C2/c, Z=20, alpha-Eu(2)B(4)O(9): a=2547.9(5), b=444.3(1), c=2493.8(5) pm, beta=99.82(3) degrees, R1=0.0277, wR2=0.0693 (all data); alpha-Gd(2)B(4)O(9): a=2539.0(1), b=443.3(1), c=2490.8(1) pm, beta=99.88(1) degrees, R1=0.0457, wR2=0.0643 (all data); alpha-Tb(2)B(4)O(9): a=2529.4(1), b=441.6(1), c=2484.3(1) pm, beta=99.88(1) degrees, R1=0.0474, wR2=0.0543 (all data). The isotypic compounds exhibit a new type of structure that is built up of BO(4) tetrahedra to form a network that incorporates the rare-earth cations. The most important feature is the existence of the new structural motif of edge-sharing BO(4) tetrahedra next to the known motif of corner-sharing BO(4) tetrahedra, which is realized in the presented compounds alpha-(RE)(2)B(4)O(9) (RE=Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy) for the second time. Furthermore, we report the temperature-resolved in-situ powder-diffraction measurements, DTA, IR/Raman spectroscopic investigations, and magnetic properties of the new compounds. 相似文献
The preparation, structures, and magnetic properties of a series of metal formate perovskites [CH3NH3][MnxZn1?x(HCOO)3] were investigated. The isostructural solid solution can be prepared in the complete range of x=0–1. The metal–organic perovskite structures consist of an anionic NaCl type [MnxZn1?x(HCOO)3?] framework with CH3NH3+ templates located in the nearly cubic cavities and forming hydrogen bonds to the framework. When the proportion of Mn increased (i.e., x changed from 0 to 1), the lattice dimensions and metal–oxygen and metal–metal distances show a slight, nonlinear increase because of the increased averaged metal ionic radius and the local structure distortion. Through the series, the magnetism changes from the long‐range ordering of spin‐canted antiferromagnetism for x≥0.40 to paramagnetism when x≤0.30, and the percolation limit was estimated to be xP=0.31(2) for this simple cubic lattice. In the low‐temperature region, enhancement of magnetization and the gradual decrease and final disappearance of coercive field, remnant magnetization, and spin‐flop field upon dilution were observed through this isotropic Heisenberg magnetic series. IR spectroscopic and thermal properties were also investigated. 相似文献
The (iso)cyanurates Na[H2C3N3O3] · H2O, Na2[HC3N3O3] · H2O, Na2[HC3N3O3], and Na3[C3N3O3] were synthesized phase pure from Na2CO3 · 10H2O, NaOH, and cyanuric acid, respectively, in aqueous solution by carefully adjusting the crystallization conditions. The crystal structures of all compounds were determined by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction {Na2[HC3N3O3] · H2O: P1 , a = 3.51660(10) Å, b = 7.8300(3) Å, c = 11.3966(4) Å, α = 86.4400(10)°, β = 85.5350(10)°, γ = 85.0720(10)°, Z = 2, R1 = 0.030, wR2 = 0.078; Na2[HC3N3O3]: Pnma, a = 6.3409(6) Å, b = 12.2382(13) Å, c = 6.5919(7) Å, Z = 4, R1 = 0.045, wR2 = 0.079; Na3[C3N3O3]: R3 c, a = 11.7459(3) Å, c = 6.5286(3) Å, Z = 3, R1 = 0.039, wR2 = 0.066}. The structures show ribbons (Na[H2C3N3O3] · H2O), dimers (Na2[HC3N3O3] · H2O), chains (Na2[HC3N3O3]), or columns (Na3[C3N3O3]) of hydrogen‐bonded and parallel stacked (iso)cyanurate anions. These motifs are shown to be characteristic for certain degrees of protonation and hydration, and all (iso)cyanurate crystal structures found so far were classified accordingly. X‐ray powder patterns, thermogravimetry curves, IR and UV/Vis spectra were measured for all compounds. 相似文献
