Synthesis and thermal decomposition of lanthanide hexacyanochromate(iii) complexes,Ln[Cr(CN)6]·nH2O (Ln=La-Lu; n=3, 4)

New solid complex of nitrilotriacetic acid and bismuth trichloride was synthesized by a solid phase reaction of nitrilotriacetic acid and bismuth trichloride at room temperature. The composition of the sample is BiCl₃[N(CH₂COOH)₃]_2.5. The crystal structure of the complex belongs to triclinic system with the lattice parameters: α=0.7849 nm, β=0.9821 nm, χ=2.0021 nm, α=96.50°, β=98.76° and γ=90.49°. The far-infrared spectra show the bonding between the Bi ion and N atom of nitrilotriacetic acid. The thermal analysis also demonstrates the complex formation between the bismuth ion and nitrilotriacetic acid. The gaseous pyrolysis product and the final residue in the thermal decomposition process are determined to check the thermal decomposition reaction. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.

Its crystal molecule is a dimer with a crystallographicsymmetry center. The central metal atom Sm is coordinated to two Cp' rings, two bridging chlorineatoms and one THF forming a distorted trigonal bipyramid. The crystal of [Cp'_2ErCl]_2 (3) belongs tothe triclinic space group P with a = 11.264 (2), b= 13.296(5), c = 14.296(6), a = 96.99 (3), β=112.47(2), γ= 102.78(2)°, V= 1865(1)~3, D_c= 1.67 g /cm~3, μ= 48.0 cm~(-1), F(000) = 924, Z = 2 (dimers).The molecule is a dimer consisting of two Cp'_2 ErCl species bridged by two Cl atoms.

Ce10Cl4Ga5 and Ln3ClGa4 (Ln = La,Ce): reduced halides or oxidized intermetallics?

The compounds Ce(10)Cl(4)Ga(5) and Ln(3)ClGa(4) (Ln = La, Ce) were synthesized from stoichiometric mixtures of Ln, LnCl(3), and Ga under Ar atmosphere in sealed Ta ampules at 910-1020 degrees C for 25-26 days. Ce(10)Cl(4)Ga(5) is isostructural to La(10)Cl(4)Ga(5) (space group I4/mcm, No. 140) with lattice constants a = 7.9546(11) A, c = 31.793(6) A. Ln(3)ClGa(4) represents a new structural type, also in the space group I4/mcm, with a = 8.1955(8) and 8.1123(11) A, c = 11.363(2) and 11.229(2) A, respectively, for Ln = La and Ce. Ce(10)Cl(4)Ga(5) features building blocks of Ga-centered Ce(6) trigonal prisms and distinctive two-dimensional intermetallic CuAl(2) and U(3)Si(2) type nets. Its electronic structure falls within the realm of reduced rare-earth halides. Ln(3)ClGa(4) also contains the intermetallic CuAl(2) type nets, but the interstitials are inverted: The building blocks are Cl-centered Ln(6) octahedra. Its electronic structure is characterized by strong peripheral Ln-Ga bonding stabilizing the Ln(6)Cl octahedron which normally would have its Ln-Ln antibonding orbitals filled with electrons from interstitials beyond chalcogen. Magnetic susceptibility and conductivity measurements confirm the metallic nature of all three compounds.

They crystallized in the monoclinic space group P2₁/n for I (x = 1.5) and C2/c for (II) and (III) (x = 1), respectively. In these complexes, the central Ln(III) and external nickel ions are bridged by macrocyclic oxamide groups. The metal center of Ln(III) resides in a distorted bicapped square antiprism surrounding with six oxygen atoms of three oxamide groups, two oxygen atoms of Btca^2– ion and two oxygen atoms of NO₃^-. Furthermore, there are C–H···O and/or C–H···N hydrogen bond interactions among nitrate, benzotriazole-5-carboxylate, macrocyclic oxamide and water to form three-dimensional superamolecular architecture. The fluorescence properties of the compounds I and II are also discussed.

Ln2Cl 7 − ions (Ln = La and Lu): Structures and thermodynamic stability

The equilibrium geometrical parameters and frequencies of the normal vibrations of Ln₂Cl ₇ ^? ions (Ln = La and Lu) and the enthalpies of the dissociation reactions Ln₂Cl ₇ ^? → Ln₂Cl₆ + Cl^? and Ln₂Cl ₇ ^? → LnCl₃ + LnCl ₄ ^? were calculated at the MP2 and MP4 levels (with regard to single, double, triple, and quadruple perturbations). The basis set superposition errors were eliminated by using the counterpoise approach. The potential energy surface of the Ln₂Cl ₇ ^? ions was found to reach a minimum for a configuration with three bridging and four terminal Cl atoms (symmetry C ₂). The terminal fragments LnCl₂ show almost free inherent rotation. The lanthanide compression of the interatomic Ln-Cl distances differed for the bridging and terminal Ln-Cl bonds. The calculated enthalpies of dissociation of the Ln₂Cl ₇ ^? ions were compared with data from high-temperature mass spectrometry.     

Synthesis and structural characterization of lanthanide oxalate–oxydiacetate mixed-ligand coordination polymers {[Ln(oda)(H2O) x ]2(ox)} n ( x = 3 for Ln = La,Ce, Pr,Gd, Tb and x = 2 for Ln = Er)

Reactions of oxydiacetic acid (H₂oda) with lanthanide oxide, nitrate, chloride, and carbonate gave six lanthanide oxalate–oxydiacetate mixed-ligand coordination polymers {[Ln(oda)(H₂O) _x ]₂(ox)} _n [x = 3 for Ln = La, Ce, Pr, Gd, Tb, (1–5), and x = 2 for Ln = Er (6)]. Oxydiacetic acid is decomposed into oxalic acid in this reaction. In the crystal structures of 1–6, oxydiacetate and the lanthanides build a chain, and the oxalate groups bridge two chains to form 1-D double-chain ladder-shaped structures, connected by intermolecular hydrogen bonds to form a 2-D network structure. These compounds contain approximately 3.0 × 6.4 Ų channels along the c-axis. The infrared spectra and thermal behaviors of 1–6 are also investigated.     

Oxidation resistance of LnSiON powders (Ln=Y,Gd and La)

For application of LnSiON (Ln=Y, Gd and La) oxynitride materials, e.g. as host-lattices for lamp phosphors, oxidation resistance up to about 600 °C in air is a prerequisite. In this study we prepared LnSiON (Ln=Y, Gd and La) powders by solid state reaction and observed via TGA/DTA-experiments that most compounds are oxidation resistant up to 600 °C in air. The stability in air at high temperatures increases going from Ln₅(SiO₄)₃N, Ln₄Si₂O₇N₂, LnSiO₂N, Ln₂Si₃O₃N₄ to Ln₃Si₈O₄N₁₁. This is explained by an increasing cross-linking between the siliconoxygennitrogen tetrahedra in this sequence. For the lattices with less cross-linking between the siliconoxygennitrogen tetrahedra we observed that the oxidation resistance decreases slightly going from Y and Gd to La. For these lattices, also, an additional weight gain was observed during the oxidation reaction, which was higher than expected for complete oxidation. The additional weight gain was ascribed to an intermediate phase in which nitrogen retention takes place.
