A new explanation of the pyramidal structure of thecompounds has been proposed based on 5d orbital participation in bonding. With the calculation of asimplified model of Eu(N(SiMe_3)_2)_3. OPPh_3, the roles of electronic and steric effects in bonding have beencompared.     

Studies of a new series of ion-pair complexes [Mo(dtc)_4][Ln(dtc)_4] (Ln=La-Er,exp.Pm)

A new series of ion-pair complexes [Mo(dtc)4][Ln(dtc)4] (Ln=La-Er, exp. Pm) were synthesized from MoCl5, LnCl3 and Nadtc in anhydrous methanol.

Spectroscopic properties of all these complexes are also discussed here.     

VALENCE STATE OF C AtOMS AND σ_t-η_n SEPARABILITY OF MOLECULAR ORBITALS IN THE (BUCKMINSTER)FULLERENE C_(50)

The valence state of C atoms and the structure of molecular orbitals of the (Buckminster)Fullerene C_(60)have been demonstrated. It has been shown that when a motion-coordinate system is adopted, in which the coordinate origin is at every C atom, the z axis is in the direction of the normal and the (x,y) axes are in the direction of tangents of C_(60)'s spherical surface, 240 valence atomic orbitals of C_(60) can be divided into two groups. All (P_x, P_y)atomic orbitals named as Pt ones and all the other P_z atomic orbitals named as p. ones, That is to say that if we name the molecular orbital linearly combined of P_t atomic orbitals as σ_t and the molecular orbital linearly combined of P_n atomic orbitals as π_n, the 240 valence molecular orbitals are of the property of σ_t-π_n separability. It has also been shown that the frontier and nearby frontier molecular orbitals are π_n ones, and therefore the essential physical and chemical properties of C_(60) are determined by its π_n molecular orbitals.     

ELECTRONIC STRUCTURE AND CHEMICAL BONDING OF TRISINDENYL SAMARIUM

The electronic structure and chemical bonding of Sm(Ind)3 were studied by using INDO calculation method.The results showed that the 6s 6P and 5d orbitals of Sm mixed with the atomic orbitals of ligands to some extent while the 4f orbital of Sm was strongly localized,participating in bonding less than 2%.The HOMO and the LUMO were of π-type.The chemical bond of Sm(Ind)3 is considerably covalent in character.The net charge distribution on the carbon atoms of the indenyl group is unequal.The Some bonds in Sm(Ind)3 THF is discussed.     

Synthesis and characterization of novel heteronuclear complexes of Ln(Ⅲ)-Cu(Ⅱ) with non-cyclic polyether Schiff base

Nine novel heteronuclear complexes of Ln(Ⅲ)-Cu(Ⅱ) with salicylidene tetraethvlcne glycol diamine (SALTTA) have been synthesized and characterized.They have the general formulae [LnCu2(SALTTA)2(NO3)3](NO3)4 3H2O (Ln=La,Pr.Nd,Srn) and [LnCu3(SALTTA)3(NO3)5]-(NO3)4-4H2O (Ln=Gd,Tb,Er,Yb,Y).The IR spectra show that vc=N in the Ln(Ⅲ)-Cu(Ⅱ) het-eronuclear complexes are splitted up into two peaks with a far distance.It has been confirmed that oxygen atoms in oxyethylene of the ligand are not all coordinated to the central metal ions by both IR and NMR methods.

LOCALIZED INDO STUDY OF THE ELECTRONIC STRUCTURE OF Sc(Sc_6Cl_(12)Co)

Spin-unrestricted localized INDO method was used to calculate the electronic structure ofrare earth cluster Sc(Sc_6Cl_(12)Co).Based on the analysis of the composition of the molecularorbitals and bond orders,it was pointed out that the interstitial transition metal atom Co in theoctahedral Sc skeleton forms strong covalent bond with six Sc atoms and the bonding of Sc-Cl is mainly ionic in character.There are nine valence molecular orbitals in the cluster.     

Crystal structure and single crystal EPR of (NH_4)_2(15-crown-5)_3[Cu(mnt)_2] and (NH_4)_2(benzo-15-crown-5)_4[Cu(mnt)_2]·0.5H_2O

The X-ray crystal structures of (NH4)2(15-crown-5)3[Cu(mnt)2] (1) and (NH4)2(benzo-15-crown-5)4- [Cu(mnt)2]·0.5H2O (2) were determined. Two single crystals are composed of distinct structures of ammonium-crown ether supramolecular cation and [Cu(mnt)2]2? anion. The triple-decker dication in complex 1 and a sandwich dimmer in complex 2 were observed. X-Band EPR studies on the single crystals of both complex 1 and complex 2 have been carried out at room temperature, which revealed that complex 2 showed a perfect hyperfine structure of Cu whereas that of complex 1 could not be observed. The principal values and direction cosines of the principal axes of the g and A tensors were computed by a least-squares fitting procedure. The spin density of Cu(II) was estimated according to the principal values of the A tensors and compared well with the results calculated based on DFT method.     

Thermochemical properties of Ln(Gly)4Im(ClO4)3·nH2O (Ln = Gd, Tb, Dy, Y)

The enthalpies of dissolution in water of new ternary complexes of four late trivalent lanthanide ions Ln(Gly)₄Im(ClO₄)₃·nH₂O (Ln=Gd, Tb, Dy, Y; Gly: glycine; Im: imidazole and n=1 or 2) were measured by means of a Calvet microcalorimeter. Empirical formulae for the calculation of the enthalpies of dissolution (Δ_dissH), relative apparent molar enthalpies (Δ_dissH (app)), relative partial molar enthalpies (Δ_dissH (partial)) and enthalpies of dilution (Δ_dilH_1,2) were obtained from the experimental data of the enthalpies of dissolution of these complexes. The plot of Δ_dissH_m^Θ, Δ_dissH (app) and Δ_dissH (partial) versus the values of the ionic radius of the lanthanide element (r) showed a grouping effect of the lanthanide elements, indicating that the coordinated bond between the lanthanide ions and the ligands has some covalent character. The unknown value of the standard enthalpy of dissolution for the similar complex: Ho(Gly)₄Im(ClO₄)₃·H₂O was estimated according to the plot of Δ_dissH_m^Θ versus r.     

Preparation and characterization of single crystals[Ln(TBPO)4(NO3)2]NTf2 (Ln=Eu,Gd)

Two single crystals[Ln(TBPO)₄(NO₃)₂]NTf₂ (Ln=Eu, Gd) were prepared and characterized by element analysis, single crystal X-ray diffraction, PXRD, FT-IR, TGA and fluorescence spectroscopy. The two compounds have similar coordinate structures, in which the central metal ion is coordinated by four TBPO (Tri-n-butylphosphine oxide) molecules and two bidentate nitrates, while NTf₂^-(bis(trifluor-(bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl) imide anion) acts as the counter anion. The packing modes of the two crystals are same. The two single crystals are the focus on 8-coordinate tetra-TRPO complexes (TRPO is Trialkyphosphine oxides).     

Tetrakis(triphenylphosphine oxide) complexes of the lanthanide nitrates; synthesis, characterisation and crystal structures of [La(Ph3PO)4(NO3)3]·Me2CO and [Lu(Ph3PO)4(NO3)2]NO3

The reaction of Ln(NO₃)₃·6H₂O (Ln=La, Ce, Pr or Nd) with a sixfold excess of Ph₃PO in acetone formed [Ln(Ph₃PO)₄(NO₃)₃]·Me₂CO. The crystal structure of the La complex shows a nine-coordinate metal centre with four phosphine oxides, two bidentate and one monodentate nitrate groups, and PXRD studies show the same structure is present in the other three complexes. In CH₂Cl₂ or Me₂CO solutions, ³¹P NMR studies show that the complexes are essentially completely decomposed into [Ln(Ph₃PO)₃(NO₃)₃] and Ph₃PO. Similar reactions in ethanol gave [Ln(Ph₃PO)₃(NO₃)₃] only. In contrast for Ln=Sm, Eu or Gd, only the [Ln(Ph₃PO)₃(NO₃)₃] are formed from either acetone or ethanol solutions. For the later lanthanides Ln=Tb–Lu, acetone solutions of Ln(NO₃)₃·6H₂O and Ph₃PO gave [Ln(Ph₃PO)₃(NO₃)₃] only, even with a large excess of Ph₃PO, but from cold ethanol [Ln(Ph₃PO)₄(NO₃)₂]NO₃ (Ln=Tb, Ho–Lu) were obtained. The structure of [Lu(Ph₃PO)₄(NO₃)₂]NO₃ shows an eight-coordinate metal centre with four phosphine oxides and two bidentate nitrate groups. In solution in CH₂Cl₂ or Me₂CO the tetrakis-complexes show varying amounts of decomposition into mixtures of [Ln(Ph₃PO)₃(NO₃)₃], [Ln(Ph₃PO)₄(NO₃)₂]NO₃ and Ph₃PO as judged by ³¹P{¹H} NMR spectroscopy. The [Ln(Ph₃PO)₃(NO₃)₃] also partially decompose in solution for Ln=Dy–Lu, forming some tetrakis(phosphine oxide) species.

Experimental and theoretical investigations on the electric field gradient at the Br site in Sr(BrO3)2 · H2O and Ba(BrO3)2 · H2O

Single-crystal Zeeman effect studies have been done using ⁷⁹Br NQR in Sr(BrO₃)₂ · H₂O and Ba(BrO₃)₂ · H₂O and the electric field gradient (EFG) parameters at the Br site have been determined. The point-charge model for the evaluation of EFG at the Br site, when applied to these systems, has not yielded satisfactory results. In another model, the total EFG is obtained as the sum of the covalent contribution and the inter-ionic contribution. To obtain the covalent contribution CNDO/2 MO calculations have been done for the (BrO₃)⁻ ions of these systems. There is excellent agreement with the experimental values in the case of Sr(BrO₃)₂ · H₂O, while the results on Ba(BrO₃)₂ · H₂O indicate that the structural data on this crystal need refinement.

Synthesis and structure of two lanthanide complexes with isonicotinic acid N-oxide (HL): [Ln(L)2(H2O)4]n·(NO3)n·n(H2O) (Ln = Sm or Tb)

Two new lanthanide complexes of isonicotinic acid N-oxide (HL), namely [Ln(L)₂(H₂O)₄]_n·(NO₃)_n·n(H₂O) for Ln = Sm or Tb, have been synthesized and characterized by spectroscopic and crystallographic methods. IR spectra suggest that isonicotinic acid N-oxide acts as a O,O′-bidentate ligand, the N-oxide group as well as the nitrate group are not involved in coordination. Single crystal analyses have shown that both complexes are isomorphous, where the Ln(III) centers are eight coordinated by four O atoms of four water ligands and other four O atoms of two isonicotinic acid N-oxide ligands. The carboxylate groups are only involved in the bidentate syn–syn bridging mode into infinite chains. Hydrogen bonds between aqua ligands, lattice molecules, nitrate and N-oxide groups are formed giving a three-dimensional network.
