2-Pyridyloximate clusters of cobalt and nickel

The use of 2-pyridyloximate(-1) ligands, (py)C(R)NO⁻ [R = H, Ph, 2-pyridyl (py)] in cobalt and nickel(II) chemistry has been investigated and led to four families of clusters. A representative member of each family, namely $[{\mathrm{Co}}^{\text{II}}{\mathrm{Co}}_2^{\text{III}}\{(\mathrm{py})\mathrm{C}(\mathrm{ph})\text{NO}{\}}_6]({\mathrm{PF}}_6{)}_2$ (1), $[{\mathrm{Co}}_2^{\text{II}}{\mathrm{Co}}_2^{\mathrm{III}}(\mathrm{OH}{)}_2({\mathrm{O}}_2\mathrm{CMe}{)}_2\{(\mathrm{py}{)}_2\mathrm{CNO}{\}}_4(\mathrm{MeOH}{)}_2]({\mathrm{ClO}}_4{)}_2$ (2), [Ni₉(OH)₄{(py)CHNO}₁₀(H₂O)₈]{N(CN)₂}₃(ClO₄) [3{N(CN)₂}₃(ClO₄)] and [Ni₄(O₂CMe)₄{(py)C(ph)NO}₄(MeOH)₂] (4) is briefly structurally and magnetically described.     

Standard molar Gibbs free energy of formation of Pb5CrO8(s), Pb2CrO5(s), and PbCrO4(s)

Standard molar Gibbs free energy of formation of ternary oxides Pb₅CrO₈(s), Pb₂CrO₅(s), and PbCrO₄(s) were determined by measuring equilibrium oxygen partial pressures over relevant phase fields using manometry and solid oxide electrolyte based emf methods and are given by: ${\mathrm{\Delta }}_f{G}_m^{°}{\text{Pb}}_5{\text{CrO}}_8(s)\pm 0.55/(\text{kJ}·{\text{mol}}^{-1})=-1809.4+0.6845(T/\text{K})(837\le T/\text{K}\le 1008)\text{,}$${\mathrm{\Delta }}_f{G}_m^{°}{\text{Pb}}_2{\text{CrO}}_5(\text{s})\pm 0.30/(\text{kJ}·{\text{mol}}^{-1})=-1161.3+0.4059(T/\text{K})(859\le T/\text{K}\le 1021)\text{,}$${\mathrm{\Delta }}_{\text{f}}{G}_m^{°}{\text{PbCrO}}_4(\text{s})\pm 0.17/(\text{kJ}·{\text{mol}}^{-1})=-909.8+0.3111(T/\text{K})(863\le T/\text{K}\le 1093)\text{,}$     

Thermodynamic properties of CaTiF5(s)

Calcium titanofluoride CaTiF₅(s) was prepared by solid-state reaction of CaF₂(s) with TiF₃(s) and characterized by X-ray diffraction method. The standard molar isobaric heat capacity $(C_{p\text{,m}}^{\circ })$ of CaTiF₅(s) was determined by a power compensated differential scanning calorimeter in the temperature from 230 K to 710 K. A solid-state galvanic cell with CaF₂ as electrolyte was used to determine the standard molar Gibbs energy of formation $({\mathrm{\Delta }}_{\text{f}}{G}_{\text{m}}^{\circ })$ of CaTiF₅ in the temperature range from 803 K to 1005 K. The galvanic cell can be depicted as:$(-)\text{Pt,}{\text{O}}_2(\text{g,}101.325\text{kPa})/\{\text{CaO(s)}+{\text{CaF}}_2(\text{s})\}//{\text{CaF}}_2//\{{\text{CaTiF}}_5(\text{s})+{\text{CaTiO}}_3(\text{s})\}/{\text{O}}_2(\text{g,}101.325\text{kPa})\text{,Pt}(+)$The second law analysis of present data were carried out to derive the standard entropy $S_{\text{m}}^{\circ }(298.15\text{K})$ and the enthalpy of formation ${\mathrm{\Delta }}_{\text{f}}{H}_{\text{m}}^{\circ }(298.15\text{K})$ and the values derived are 68.7 J · K⁻¹ · mol⁻¹ and −2848.4 kJ · mol⁻¹, respectively.
