Control of Oxidation States of Transition Elements (Cr,Mn) in Nitridometalates and the Solid Solution Series Li6(Ca1‐xSrx)2[Mn2N6]

The formation of ternary nitridometalates from the elements in the case of the systems Li—Cr, V, Mn—N leads to compounds which contain the transition metals in the highest (V^V, Cr^VI) or a comparably high (Mn^V) oxidation state. In the corresponding calcium and strontium systems, the transition metals show a lower oxidation state (V^III, Cr^III, Mn^III). Transition metals with intermediate oxidation states (Cr^V, Mn^IV) are present in the quaternary (mixed cation) compounds Li₄Sr₂[CrN₆], Li₆Ca₂[MnN₆], and Li₆Sr₂[MnN₆] (R3¯(#148), a = 585.9(3) pm, c = 1908.6(4) pm, Z = 3), as well as in the solid solution series Li₆(Ca_1—xSr_x)₂[MnN₆].     

Die Kristallstruktur von Perowskiten ANiIIMVIO6. II. Das Sr2NiWO6

The Crystal Structure of Perovskites A Ni^IIM^VIO₆. II. Sr₂NiWO₆ The results of an X-ray single crystal study of the perovskite Sr[Ni^IIW^VI]⁽⁶⁾O₆, ordered in the octahedral sites, are given. While Sr[Ni^IITe^VI]⁽⁶⁾O₆ crystallizes in a monoclinically deformed structure of the perovskite (elpasolite) type, showing a phase transition to a tetragonal lattice at 675 °K, Sr[Ni^IIW^VI]⁽⁶⁾O₆ is tetragonal already at 298°K (space group: C; a = b = 5.559 Å; c = 7.918 Å; Z = 2). The Ni? O distances found for the tungsten compound are nearly identical with those of the tellurium perovskite. In contradiction to crystal field theory very different values of the ligand field parameter Δ (ca. 25%) are observed for these two compounds however. Obviously this effect is caused by the rather different kind of bonding within the NiO₆ polyhedra in the two compounds. On the basis of the structural results the Ni? O-bonding in the two perovskites is discussed in dependence of the next nearest cationic environment.     

Ein Beitrag Zur Verbindung Sr3Nd4O9

A Contribution on Sr₃Nd₄O₉ The metastable compound Sr₃Nd₄O₉ was prepared by high temperature reactions and investigated by X-ray single crystal methods. It crystallizes with monoclinic symmetry: a = 1147.4; b = 723.8; c = 1324.6 pm and β = 115.6°: space group C? Cs. The metal positions show a nearly statistical distribution of Sr²⁺ and Nd³⁺. The network of the polyhedrals characterizes a new structure type, which in spite of the statistical metal distribution does not belong to the high temperature X-modification of the Rare Earth sesquioxides.     

Schwingungsspektren und Kraftkonstanten von Chrom(VI)-Sauerstoff-Verbindungen

The infrared and RAMAN spectra of Cr₃O, CrO₄O and CrO₃ have been measured and assigned. The force constant of a modified valence force field have been calculated and compared with the force constants of CrO, Cr₂O, CrO₃F^?, CrO₃Cl^?, CrO₂F₂ and CrO₂Cl₂. The valence force constant f_CrO depends almost linearly on the distance d(CrO). The bending frequency δ(CrOCr) has to be reassigned. The unit cell parameters of α- and β-Cs₂Cr₃O₁₀ and Cs₂Cr₄O₁₃ have been determined by means of Guinier X-ray powder techniques.

II marks the range of existence of the calciumferrite type within the alkaline earth oxoindates in direction of large radii of M²⁺ ions.

Interactions Magnetiques dans quelques Ferrites Oxyfluores a Structure Spinelle de Formule ZnxMFe2−xO4–xFx (M ? Fe,Co, Ni)

Magnetic interactions in some oxyfluoroferrites of spinel structure with the formula Zn_xMe_2?xO_4?xFx (M = Fe, Co, Ni) Whereas the ferromagnetic spin arrangement of the B-cations is not modified by the Zn²⁺?Fe³⁺ substitution in the ZnFe[Fe₂₊Fe³⁺]O_4?xF_x (0 ≤ x ≤ 0,50) spinel, this same substitution leads to a spin canting in the ZnFe[Co₂₊Fe³⁺]O_4?xF_x and ZnFe[Ni₂₊Fe³⁺]O_4?xF_x (0 ≤ x ≤ 0,80) simples. The difference in the magnetic behaviors with regard to the AB and BB interactions can be explained on the basis of the magnetic exchange theory.

The higher ordered cells with U^VI and W^VI are face centered, which has its origin in an ordering of cationic vacancies.     

LaCl(BO2)2 und Er2Cl2[B2O5]: Zwei Chlorid‐Oxoborate dreiwertiger Lanthanide

Single‐crystalline LaCl(BO₂)₂ emerges from the reaction of La₂O₃, LaCl₃, and B₂O₃ with an excess of B₂O₃ as flux in evacuated silica tubes after four weeks at 900 °C. LaCl(BO₂)₂ crystallizes as thin, colourless, air‐ and water‐resistant needles which tend to severe twinning due to their fibrous habit.

(Er1)³⁺ resides in pentagonal‐bipyramidal coordination of seven anions while (Er2)³⁺ is surrounded by only six anions with the shape of an octahedron. The planar oxodiborate units [B₂O₅]^4— consisting of two vertex‐shared [BO₃]^3— triangles are isolated according to {([BOO]₂)^4—}. LaCl(BO₂)₂ crystallizes isostructurally with PrCl(BO₂)₂ in the triclinic space group P1¯ (a = 423.52(4), b = 662.16(7), c = 819.33(8) pm; α = 82.081(8), β = 89.238(9), γ = 72.109(7)°; Z = 2).
