An ab initio study of the binding of N2 to Na+ and K+

The binding energies of N₂ to Na⁺ and K⁺ are computed, using the SCF supermolecule approach with extended basis sets together with the counterpoise correction computed in two extreme ways, and supplemented by a perturbation calculation of the dispersion energy. Inclusion of the calculated zero-point energy and the additional correction due to the variation of the correlation in N₂ upon complexation leads to an Na⁺-N₂ binding of ?7.9 to ?8.1 kcal/mole (compared to a measured enthalpy of ?8 ± 0.5) and to a corresponding theoretical value computed for K⁺-N₂ of ?4.6 to ?4.8 kcal/mole.     

Ab initio MO calculations on the stable conformations and their binding energies of the ion-molecule complexes: Ion = H+, Li+, Na+, K+ Be2+, and molecule = CO and N2

The most stable conformation of ion-molecule complexes involving a CO molecule were surveyed by the use of Hartree-Fock (HF) MO and third-order Moller-Plesset perturbation (MP3) methods with a 6–31G* basis set ion = H⁺, Li⁺, Na⁺, K⁺, Bc²⁺, Mg²⁺, and Ca²⁺. The MP3 level of theory reveals the ion-CO conformation in which the ion bonds to a carbon atom of CO to be the most stable; these MP3 results are contrary to the HF ones. Binding energies of ion-molecule complexes involving CO and N₂ were computed; MP3 energies are in good agreement with the experimental ones. The computed binding energies of cation-N₂ are about one-third of cation-NH₃ due to the absence of dipole moment and the smaller polarizability of N₂. The decrease in binding energy in cation-CO and -N₂ complexes, with increasing cation size, is mainly caused by the decrease of the electrostatic and polarization stabilizations.     

Characterization of Au-Rh/TiO2 catalysts by CO adsorption; XPS, FTIR and TPD experiments

On X-ray photoelectron spectra of the Au-Rh/TiO₂ catalysts the position of Au4f peak was practically unaffected by the presence of rhodium, the peak position of Rh3d, however, shifted to lower binding energy with the increase of gold content of the catalysts. Rh enrichment in the outer layers of the bimetallic crystallites was experienced. The bands due to Au⁰-CO, Rh⁰-CO and (Rh⁰)₂-CO were observed on the IR spectra of bimetallic samples, no signs for Rh⁺-(CO)₂ were detected on these catalysts. The results were interpreted by electron donation from titania through gold to rhodium and by the higher particle size of bimetallic crystallites.     

CaWO4:xEu3+,ySm3+,zLi+红色荧光粉的制备及光学性能

采用微波固相法制备了CaWO₄：xEu³⁺,ySm³⁺,zLi⁺红色荧光粉。测量样品的XRD图、激发谱、发射谱及发光衰减曲线,研究并分析了Eu³⁺、Sm³⁺、Li⁺的掺杂浓度,对样品微结构、光致发光特性、能量传递及能级寿命的影响。结果表明,Eu³⁺、Sm³⁺、Li⁺掺杂并未引起合成粉体改变晶相,仍为CaWO₄单一四方晶系结构。Eu³⁺、Sm³⁺共掺样品中,Sm³⁺掺杂为3%时,Sm³⁺对Eu³⁺的能量传递最有效。Li⁺掺杂起到了助熔剂和敏化剂的作用,使样品发光更强。在394 nm激发下,与CaWO₄：3%Eu³⁺样品比较,3%Eu³⁺、3%Sm³⁺共掺CaWO₄及3%Eu³⁺、3%Sm³⁺、1%Li⁺共掺CaWO₄样品的发光分别增强2倍及2.4倍。同一激发波长下,单掺Eu³⁺样品寿命最短,Sm³⁺、Eu³⁺共掺样品随Sm³⁺浓度增加,寿命先减小后增加,且掺杂了Li⁺的样品比不掺Li⁺的样品⁵D₀能级寿命有所增加。     

Luminescence and vibrational spectra of Ba5Li2W3O15

The infrared and Raman spectra of Ba₅Li₂W₃O₁₅ are reported down to 200 cm^?1. From the internal stretching modes of the tungstate octahedra the crystallographic order between lithium and tungsten in the face-sharing octahedra can be derived. The green tungstate luminescence shows a low quenching temperature that is described with the Dexter-Klick-Russell model. The U⁶⁺ ion shows a yellow emission in Ba₅Li₂W₃O₁₅. There is ample evidence for two different U⁶⁺ centers with different decay times (10 and 80 μsec) and different emission and excitation spectra. One of these is located in a single layer of tungstate octahedra, the other in a double layer of octahedra.     

The nature of the bonding of Li+ to H2O and NH3; A3 initio studies

Ab initio wavefunctions have been calculated for the complex of Li⁺ with NH₃ and H₂O in order to better characterize the nature of the bonding. Hartree—Fock and generalized valence bond calculations were performed using a double zeta basis plus polarization functions. The binding energies obtained at the GVB level are D_e (Li⁺ — NH₃) = 40.4 kcal/mol and D_e (Li⁺ ? H₂O) = 37.6 kcal/mol, in reasonable agreement with experimental values. Model calculations indicate that the Li⁺ ? base bond is basically electrostatic. Small basis sets were found to lead to D_e as large as 75 kcal/mol for Li⁺ — NH₃, a significant overestimation. Repulsions due to the Li⁺ core are responsible for keeping the Li⁺ too far away for significant relaxation effects.

Experimental determination of repulsive potentials between alkali ions (Li+, Na+, and K+) and N2 and CO molecules

Integral scattering cross sections have been measured for alkali ions (Li⁺, Na⁺ and K⁺) in the energy range 500–4000 eV scattered by room temperature N₂ and CO molecules through effective laboratory angles greater than 5 × 10^?3 rad. The repulsive potentials deduced from the cross sections are represented bya practically identical formula for the Na⁺N₂ and Na⁺CO systems, and for the K⁺CO systems, respectively, while the repulsive potentials of the Li⁺N₂ system are somewhat smaller than those of the Li⁺CO system at larger intermolecular distances.

Synthesis, structure, and ionic conductivity of Na5Li3Ti2S8

The compound Na₅Li₃Ti₂S₈ has been synthesized by the reaction of Ti with a Na/Li/S flux at 723 K. Na₅Li₃Ti₂S₈ crystallizes in a new structure type with four formula units in space group C2/c of the monoclinic system. The structure contains three crystallographically independent Na⁺ cations and two crystallographically independent Li⁺ cations. Na₅Li₃Ti₂S₈ possesses a channel structure that features two-dimensional layers built from Li(1)S₄ and TiS₄ tetrahedra. The layers, which are stacked along c, comprise eight-membered rings and sixteen-membered rings. Na(3)⁺ cations are located between the eight-membered rings and Na(1)⁺, Na(2)⁺, and Li(2)⁺ cations are located between the sixteen-membered rings. These cations are each octahedrally coordinated by six S²⁻ anions. The ionic conductivity σ_T of Na₅Li₃Ti₂S₈ ranges from 8.8×10⁻⁶ S/cm at 303 K to 3.8×10⁻⁴ S/cm at 483 K. The activation energy E_a is 0.40 eV.     

Observation and interpretation of the Li2 diffuse band in the region of 420 nm

We report the first observation of the Li₂ diffuse band in the region of 420 nm which is the analog of the diffuse bands in other alkali dimer spectra, for example, at 436.5 and 575 nm for the sodium and potassium cases, respectively. The observed diffuse band appears to arise from the 2³Π_g-1³Σ_u⁺ transition where the upper state corresponds to the 2p + 2p asymptote, and is subjected to the interesting configuration interaction with the potential curve of the ionic molecule Li^?(³P) + Li⁺(¹S) with the same symmetry. The origin of the 420 nm band is interpreted in terms of theoretical calculations of various Li₂ potential difference curves.     

Structure and properties of ordered Li2IrO3 and Li2PtO3

The structures of Li₂MO₃ (M=Ir, Pt) can be derived from the well-known Li-ion battery cathode material, LiCoO₂, through ordering of Li⁺ and M⁴⁺ ions in the layers that are exclusively occupied by cobalt in LiCoO₂. The additional cation ordering lowers the symmetry from rhombohedral (R-3m) to monoclinic (C2/m). Unlike Li₂RuO₃ no evidence is found for a further distortion of the structure driven by formation of metal-metal bonds. Thermal analysis studies coupled with both ex-situ and in-situ X-ray diffraction measurements show that these compounds are stable up to temperatures approaching 1375 K in O₂, N₂, and air, but decompose at much lower temperatures in forming gas (5% H₂:95% N₂) due to reduction of the transition metal to its elemental form. Li₂IrO₃ undergoes a slightly more complicated decomposition in reducing atmospheres, which appears to involve loss of oxygen prior to collapse of the layered Li₂IrO₃ structure. Electrical measurements, UV-visible reflectance spectroscopy and electronic band structure calculations show that Li₂IrO₃ is metallic, while Li₂PtO₃ is a semiconductor, with a band gap of 2.3 eV.     

Potential energy curve of 1Σ+ Li+/He

The potential energy curve of the system Li⁺/He has been determined with moderately large basis sets for 0.5 ? r ? 10.0 a₀ both at the SCF level and including correlation. The present SCF results predict a deeper well (?0.00248 au) at a smaller r(3.66 a₀) compared with earlier calculations. Correlation deepens the well further (?0.00274 au), but pulls it inward slightly (3.63 a₀). In the repulsive part the calculated curve lies above the experimental one, especially at shorter distances. A similar behavior has been noted in the systems Li⁺/H₂, Li⁺/CO and Li⁺/N₂, suggesting that the experimental determinations may underestimate the interaction in this region by 10–20%.     

ESR spectra and magnetic constants of α-Al2O3:Co2+,H+ and α-Al2O3 :Co2+,X+

New anisotropic ESR spectra of Co²⁺ doped sapphire, different from hitherto known, are reported. The new spectra which are observed, beside the well-known spectra of α-Al₂O₃:Co²⁺, are shown to form two sets, each one consisting of six spectra (1–6) and (7–12). The spectra of both sets are proven to be interrelated by B_3a symmetry. g and A tensors for each set will be given. Evidence is given that the two sets are to be assigned to the defects α-Al₂O₃:Co²⁺,H⁺ and α-Al₂O₃:Co²⁺,X⁺. The former is concluded to consists of a Co²⁺ ion at the substitutional site (c) and a proton located in a potential minimum along a straight line between O^2- ions situated in O²⁺ triangles above and below the CO²⁺ ion. The potential function for the proton has been calculated by quantum-chemical calculations to clucidate the geometrical structure of the paramagnetic center. The α-Al₂O₃:Co²⁺,X⁺ could not be fully analyzed but some evidence is presented, that X⁺ might be alkali ions.     

Li and Li MAS NMR Studies on Fast Ionic Conducting Spinel-Type Li2MgCl4, Li2-xCuxMgCl4, Li2-xNaxMgCl4, and Li2ZnCl4

⁶Li and ⁷Li MAS NMR spectra including 1D-EXSY (exchange spectroscopy) and inversion recovery experiments of fast ionic conducting Li₂MgCl₄, Li_2-xCu_xMgCl₄, Li_2-xNa_xMgCl₄, and Li₂ZnCl₄ have been recorded and discussed with respect to the dynamics and local structure of the lithium ions. The chemical shifts, intensities, and half-widths of the Li MAS NMR signals of the inverse spinel-type solid solutions Li_2-xM^I_xMgCl₄ (M^I=Cu, Na) with the copper ions solely at tetrahedral sites and sodium ions at octahedral sites and the normal spinel-type zinc compound, respectively, confirm the assignment of the low-field signal to Li^tet of inverse spinel-type Li₂MgCl₄ and the high-field signal to Lioct as proposed by Nagel et al. (2000). In contrast to spinel-type Li_2-2xMg_1+xCl₄ solid solutions with clustering of the vacancies and Mg²⁺ ions, the Cu⁺ and Na⁺ ions are randomly distributed on the tetrahedral and octahedral sites, respectively. The activation energies due to the various dynamic processes of the lithium ions in inverse spinel-type chlorides obtained by the NMR experiments are E_a=6.6-6.9 and ΔG^*>79 KJ mol⁻¹ (in addition to 23, 29, and 75 kJmol-1 obtained by other techniques), respectively. The largest activation energy of >79 KJ mol⁻¹ corresponds to hopping exchange processes of Li ions between the tetrahedral 8a sites and the octahedral 16d sites. The smallest value of 6.6-6.9 KJ mol⁻¹, which was derived from the temperature dependence of both the spin-lattice relaxation times T₁ and the correlation times τ_C of Li^tet, reveals a dynamic process for the Li^tet ions inside the tetrahedral voids of the structure, probably between fourfold 32e split sites around the tetrahedral 8a site.

EPR spectroscopic studies in (30 − x) Li2O-xK2O-10CdO-59B2O3-1MnO2 multi-component glass system

EPR studies were carried out in (30 - x) Li₂O-xK₂O-10CdO-59B₂O₃-1MnO₂ multi-component glass system to understand the effect of the variation in the alkali ratios on the EPR parameters. The observed EPR spectra of Mn²⁺ ion exhibits resonances at g = 2.0, 3.3 and 4.3. The resonance at g = 2.0 is due to Mn²⁺ ions in an environment close to the octahedral symmetry, where as the resonances at g = 3.3 & 4.3 are due to the rhombic surroundings of Mn²⁺ ions. Hyperfine splitting constant values at g = 2.0 and number of paramagnetic centers & paramagnetic susceptibility at different observed resonances were evaluated. These parameters show non linear variation with progressive substitution of Li⁺ ion with K⁺ ions may be due to the changes in cation field strengths and local structural variation due to the variation in mixed alkali ion ratios.
