Complex rare-earth molybdophosphates of sodium and potassium (Na₂Yb(PO₄)(MoO₄) (I) and K₂Yb(PO₄)(MoO₄) (II) are synthesized by solid-phase reactions at 600°C (for I) and 750°C (for II). The molybdophosphates are characterized using powder X-ray diffraction, laser second harmonic generation (SHG), IR spectroscopy, and differential thermal analysis. Their structures are refined using the Rietveld technique. The compounds are isostructural and crystallize in an orthorhombic system (space group Ibca, Z = 8). The unit cell parameters are a = 18.0086(1) Å, b = 12.0266(1) Å, c = 6.7742(1) Å for compound I and a = 19.6646(1) Å, b = 12.0570(1) Å, c = 6.8029(1) Å for compound II. The structures are built of YbO₈ chains extended along axis c and linked into layers through PO₄ tetrahedra. The Na⁺ cations (CN = 6) and the K⁺ cations (CN = 8) reside in the interlayer spaces.     

Phase relations in the systems M2MoO4-Cr2(MoO4)3-Zr(MoO4)2 (M = Li, Na, or Rb)

Phase equilibria in the systems M₂MoO₄-Cr₂(MoO₄)₃-Zr(MoO₄)₂ (M = Li, Na, or Rb) were investigated by X-ray powder diffraction analysis, DTA, and IR spectroscopy.

The metal atoms are coordinated by 8 or 9 oxygen atoms. The structure of K₂(HSO₄)(H₂PO₄) is characterized by hydrogen bonded chains of mixed H_nS/PO₄^– tetrahedra. In the structure of K₄(HSO₄)₃(H₂PO₄), there are dimers of H_nS/PO₄^– tetrahedra, which are further connected to chains. Additional HSO₄^– tetrahedra are linked to these chains. In the structure of Na(HSO₄)(H₃PO₄) the HSO₄^– tetrahedra and H₃PO₄ molecules form layers by hydrogen bonds.     

Thermodynamic Properties of the MZr2(PO4)3 (M=Na,K, Rb or Cs) Compounds

The enthalpies of the solution of MZr₂(PO₄)₃(M=Na, K, Rb or Cs) compounds have been measured by the help of a differential automatic isothermal Calvet calorimeter and the standard enthalpies of formation have been derived. The temperature dependencies of the standard heat capacity of the samples of crystalline NaZr₂(PO₄)₃ and CsZr₂(PO₄)₃ were studied between 7 and 340 K in an automatic adiabatic vacuum calorimeter. The main thermodynamic functions H ⁰(T)–H ⁰(0), S ⁰(T) andG ⁰(T)–H ⁰(0) have been determined. The Gibbs energies of formation of the NaZr₂(PO₄)₃and CsZr₂(PO₄)₃ at 298.15 K were calculated on the basis of these experimental data and the enthalpy of formation data. Qualitative explanations for the results observed were presented. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.

Les systemes binaires AlPO4−M3PO4 (M=Li,Na, K)

Continuous recovery of uranium oxides by electrolysis of M2MoO4-M2Mo2O7-UO2MoO4 melts (M = Li, Na, K, Cs)

Effect of the electrolyte composition and of the solvent-salt cation on the oxygen coefficient of the cathodic product (O/U atomic ratio) and basic characteristics of the potentiostatic electrodeposition of uranium dioxide in prolonged recovery of uranium oxides from electrolytes of the system M₂MoO₄-M₂Mo₂O₇-UO₂MoO₄ Melts (M = Li, Na, K, Cs) in air was analyzed. A decrease in the UO₂MoO₄ concentration and accumulation of M₂Mo₂O₇ in the electrolyte in the course of a prolonged electrolysis suppress the solvolysis of uranyl ions and make lower the oxygen coefficient of the cathodic product. Li₂MoO₄-based melts possessing pronounced oxygenacceptor properties exhibit an anomalous behavior in these experiments. The current efficiency, initial current density, and deposition rate of the product decrease as electrolytes are depleted of uranium. In discussions of numerical data, it is necessary to take into account the formation of lower valence forms of uranium due to the chemical corrosion of the cathodic product, and in the case of melts of the lithium system, the additional cathodic process in which the solvent is reduced.

Crystal and magnetic structures and magnetic properties of selenate containing natrochalcite, A(I)M(II)2(H3O2)(SeO4)2 where A = Na or K and M = Mn, Co, or Ni

The synthesis of a series of selenate containing natrochalcite, A(I)M(II)(2)(H(3)O(2))(SeO(4))(2) where A = Na or K and M = Mn, Co, or Ni (here labeled as AMH and AMD for the hydrogenated and deuterated compounds, respectively), the X-ray crystal structure determinations from single crystals (Ni) and powder (Mn), magnetic properties, and magnetic structures of the cobalt analogues are reported. The nuclear crystal structures for NaNiH, KNiH, and KMnH are similar to those reported for the cobalt analogues (NaCoH and KCoH) and consist of chains of edge-sharing octahedra (MO(6)) which are connected by H(3)O(2) and SeO(4) to form layers which are in turn bridged by the alkali, in an octahedral coordination site, to form the 3D-framework. The magnetic properties are characterized by antiferromagnetic interaction at high temperatures and antiferromagnetic ordering at low temperatures (NaCoH, 3.5 K; KCoH, 5.9 K; KNiH, 8.5 K; and KMnH, 16 K), except for KNi(2)(H(3)O(2))(SeO(4))(2) which displays a weak ferromagnetic interaction and no long-range ordering above 2 K. The neutron magnetic structures of the cobalt analogues, studied as a function of temperature, are different for the two cobalt salts and also different from all the known magnetic structures of the natrochalcite family. Whereas the magnetic structure of NaCoD has a k = (0, 0, 0), that of KCoD has one consisting of a doubled nuclear cell, k = (0, 0, 1/2). Both compounds have four magnetic sublattices related to the four cobalt atoms of the nuclear unit cell. In NaCoD the moments are in the bc-plane, M(y) = 2.51(2) μ(B) and M(z) = 1.29(4) μ(B), with the major component along the cobalt chain and the resultant moment, 2.83(3) μ(B), making an angle of 27° with the b-axis. The sum of the moments within the cell is zero. For KCoD the moment at each cobalt site has a component along each crystallographic axis, M(x) = 2.40(3), M(y) = 1.03(3), M(z) = 1.59(8) giving a total M = 2.49(3) μ(B). Within one nuclear cell the moments are fully compensated. The moments corresponding to the cobalt atoms of the second nuclear cell comprising the magnetic unit cell are oriented in opposite directions.     

Complex lanthanide chromate(VI)-phosphates K2R(CrO4)(PO4) (R = Dy-Lu, Y)

The conditions of formation of complex lanthanide chromate(VI)-phosphates K₂R(CrO₄)(PO₄) were found and these compounds were synthesized by solid-state synthesis with variation of the starting compounds, the temperature of synthesis (500–800 °C), and the annealing time (6–200 h). These salts are typical of late lanthanides, R = Dy-Lu, Y. Using lutetium derivatives as examples, it was shown that no similar compounds with lithium or sodium are formed. All the complex chromate(VI)-phosphates obtained decompose under static conditions at temperatures above 550 °C. They are isostructural and crystallize in the monoclinic system. The unit cell parameters for thulium, ytterbium, and lutetium compounds were calculated. It is shown by IR spectroscopy that PO₄ tetrahedra in the crystal lattice of potassium lanthanide chromate(VI)-phosphates are substantially distorted, whereas the CrO₄ tetrahedra retain the regular tetrahedron symmetry (T _d ).

Mechanistic studies on the reactions of PhS(-) or [MoS(4)](2)(-) with [M(4)(SPh)(10)](2)(-) (M = Fe or Co)

Kinetic studies, using stopped-flow spectrophotometry, on the reactions of [M(4)(SPh)(10)](2)(-) (M = Fe or Co) with PhS(-) to form [M(SPh)(4)](2)(-) are described, as are the reactions between [M(4)(SPh)(10)](2)(-) and [MoS(4)](2)(-) to form [S(2)MoS(2)Fe(SPh)(2)](2)(-) or [S(2)MoS(2)CoS(2)MoS(2)](2)(-). The kinetics of the reactions with PhS(-) are consistent with an initial associative substitution mechanism involving attack of PhS(-) at one of the tetrahedral M sites of [M(4)(SPh)(10)](2)(-) to form [M(4)(SPh)(11)](3)(-). Subsequent or concomitant cleavage of a micro-SPh ligand, at the same M, initiates a cascade of rapid reactions which result ultimately in the complete rupture of the cluster and formation of [M(SPh)(4)](2)(-). The kinetics of the reaction between [M(4)(SPh)(10)](2)(-) and [MoS(4)](2)(-) indicate an initial dissociative substitution mechanism at low concentrations of [MoS(4)](2)(-), in which rate-limiting dissociation of a terminal thiolate from [M(4)(SPh)(10)](2)(-) produces [M(4)(SPh)(9)](-) and the coordinatively unsaturated M site is rapidly attacked by a sulfido group of [MoS(4)](2)(-). It is proposed that subsequent chelation of the MoS(4) ligand results in cleavage of an M-micro-SPh bond, initiating a cascade of reactions which lead to the ultimate break-up of the cluster and formation of the products, [S(2)MoS(2)Fe(SPh)(2)](2)(-) or [S(2)MoS(2)CoS(2)MoS(2)](2)(-). With [Co(4)(SPh)(10)](2)(-), at higher concentrations of [MoS(4)](2)(-), a further substitution pathway is evident which exhibits a second order dependence on the concentration of [MoS(4)](2)(-). The mechanistic picture of cluster disruption which emerges from these studies rationalizes the "all or nothing" reactivity of [M(4)(SPh)(10)](2)(-).     

Binary molybdates K4M2+(MoO4)3 (M2+=Mg, Mn, Co) and crystal structure of K4Mn(MoO4)3

Binary molybdates K₄M²⁺ (MoO₄)₃ (M²⁺=Mg, Mn, Co) isostructural to triclinic \ga-K₄Zn(WO₄)₃ were synthesized, and optimal conditions for their spontaneous crystallization were found. It was established by XRPA and DTA that at 530°C the structure of the compound with cobalt undergoes a transition to the orthorhombic structure of K₄Zn(MoO₄)₃. The structure of K₄Mn(MoO₄)₃ was determined from single crystal diffraction data (a=7.613, b=9.955, c=10.156 Å,α=92.28,β=106.66,γ=105.58°, Z=2, space group $P\bar 1$ , R=0.030). In this compound, Mn has a higher coordination number (CN=5+1) than that of Zn inα-K₄Zn(WO₄)₃ (CN=4+1). The main structural feature is pairs of MnO₆ octahedra linked by the bridging MoO₄ tetrahedra into ribbons stretching along the a axis. The structure is compared with related structures of binary molybdates and other members of the alluaudite family.

Low-temperature Heat Capacities and Thermodynamic Properties of the Solid State Complexes(C2H10N2)MCl4(s)(M=Cu and Cd)

The tetrachlorocuprate(II) ethylenediammonium and tetrachlorocadmate(II) ethylenediammonium were synthesized. Chemical analysis, elemental analysis, and X‐ray crystallography were applied to characterize the compositions and crystal structures of the two complexes. The lattice potential energies and the radiuses of the anions of two complexes were calculated to be U_POT[(C₂H₁₀N₂)CuCl₄]=1810.19 kJ·mol^?1, U_POT[(C₂H₁₀N₂)CdCl₄]=1784.39 kJ·mol^?1, r[(CuCl₄)^2?]=0.308 nm, and r[(CdCl₄)^2?]=0.321 nm from the data of the crystal structure, respectively. Low‐temperature heat capacities of the two complexes were measured by a precision automatic adiabatic calorimeter with the small sample over the temperature range from 78 to 400 K, respectively. Two polynomial equations of heat capacities against the temperatures were fitted by least square method: C_p,_m[(C₂H₁₀N₂)CuCl₄, s] =213.553+118.578X?5.816X²+4.392X³+0.276X⁴ and C_p,_m[(C₂H₁₀N₂)CdCl₄, s] =190.927+98.501X?7.931X²+0.657X³+3.834X⁴, in which X= (T?239)/161. Based on the fitted polynomial equations, the smoothed heat capacities and thermodynamic functions of the two complexes relative to the standard reference temperature 298.15 K were calculated at intervals of 5 K.     

Magnetic properties and magnetic structures of synthetic natrochalcites, NaM(II)2(D3O2)(MoO4)2, M = Co or Ni

The magnetic properties and magnetic structures from neutron diffraction of two synthetic natrochalcites, NaM(II)2(H3O2)(MoO4)2, M = Co (1Co) or Ni (2Ni), are reported. They are isostructural (monoclinic C2/m) and consist of chains of edge-shared MO6 octahedra connected by mu-O from H3O2(-) and MoO4(2-). These chains form a three-dimensional network with O-H-O, O-Mo-O, and O-Na-O bridging 4, 3, and 4 metal ions, respectively. Both compounds behave as canted antiferromagnets but differ in their behaviors, 1Co showing a broad maximum (28 K) above the Neel transition (21 K) and the canting taking place at 13 K, some 8 K below T(N), while for 2Ni the canting takes place at T(N) (28 K). Analyses of the neutron powder diffraction data shed some light on the geometry of D3O2(-) and suggest antiferromagnetism with a propagation vector k = (0,0,0) with the moments within each chain being parallel but antiparallel to those in neighboring chains. The difference between 1Co and 2Ni is in the orientation of the moments; they are parallel to the chain axis (b-axis) for 1Co and perpendicular to it for 2Ni with a major component along the c-axis and a small one along the a-axis. The heat capacity data peak at 20.9(3) K (1Co) and 25.1(1) K (2Ni). The derived magnetic entropies, following correction of the lattice contribution using the measured data for the nonmagnetic Zn analogue, suggest S = 1/2 for 1Co but is lower than that expected for 2Ni (S = 1). In both cases, only ca. 60% of the entropy is found below the magnetic ordering temperature, suggesting considerable short-range correlations at higher temperatures. While the temperature at which the magnetic diffraction becomes observable coincides with that of at the peak in heat capacity, it is lower than T(N) observed by magnetization measurements in both cases, and there is evidence of short-range ordering in a narrow range of temperature (T(N) +/- 5 K).
