Homogeneity ranges for yttrium and holmium manganites Ln2−x Mn x O3±δ (Ln = Y, Ho) in air

The homogeneity ranges with respect to the content of metal components in air were determined for yttrium and holmium manganites, based on X-ray phase analysis data for homogeneous solid solutions and heterogeneous compositions with the general formula Ln_2?x Mn _x O_3±δ (Ln = Y, Ho) prepared by ceramic synthesis procedure in air at 900–1400°C. The results were presented as fragments of the composition-temperature phase diagrams of the Ln-Mn-O (Ln = Y, Ho) systems in air.     

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.

Heteroligand complexes Ln(L)(iso-Bu₂PS₂)₂(NO₃) (Ln = Sm, Tb, Dy; L = Phen, 2,2??-Bipy) (I?CVI) are synthesized. The structure of Dy(Phen)(iso-Bu₂PS₂)₂(NO₃) (III) is determined from the data of X-ray structure analysis. The crystal structure of complex III is based on discrete mononuclear molecules in which the Dy atom has distorted dodecahedral coordination (polyhedron N₂O₂S₄). The ligands Phen, iso-Bu₂PS ₂ ^? and NO ₃ ^? are bidentate-cyclic. According to the X-ray diffraction analysis data, complexes I and II are isostructural to compound III. Complexes I?CVI have photoluminescence in the visible spectral range. The photoluminescence spectra of solid samples of compounds I?CVI exhibit bands corresponding to the radiative electron transitions of the Sm³⁺, Tb³⁺, and Dy³⁺ ions. Among the studied compounds I?CVI, the Tb(III) complexes are characterized by the most intense photoluminescence.     

Synthesis and Characterization of Ethylthioethylcyclopenta-dienyl Organolanthanide Complexes:Cp_2~(Th)LnCl(Ln=Gd,Dy),Cp_2LnCp~(Th)(Ln=Yb,Sm,Dy,Y) and Cp~(Th)ErCl_2·2THF

Introduction Functional substituted cyclopentadienyl organolan-thanide complexes continue to attract considerable at-tention because these donor-functionalized side chains can increase the stability of highly reactive organolan-thanide complexes by forming the additional in-tramolecular chelating coordination with the central metal, and for early lanthanide complexes, the enhanced stability offers the opportunity to explore the reactivity of the remaining ligands.1-4 In addition, the in-tramol…

Structural Order–Disorder Transitions in Ln2Ti2O7 (Ln = Lu,Gd)

The phase generation in the Lu(Gd)–Ti–O systems is studied at 20–1000° using a co-precipitation method. During a thermal treatment of co-precipitation products after a sublimation dehydration, for a composition with the Lu : Ti cation ratio of 1 : 1, an Lu₂Ti₂O₇ phase with a fluorite structure forms at 650°. At 730–750°C the phase undergoes a fluorite pyrochlore transition. Above 750°C its structure is that of disordered pyrochlore, in which antistructural defects occur in Lu and Ti positions (up to 18%). Above 900°C the structure of pyrochlore becomes ordered, and the number of defects in Lu and Ti positions decreases, which affects the temperature dependence of permittivity of Lu₂Ti₂O₇. In Gd–Ti–O system, Gd₂Ti₂O₇ is crystallized, which has a pyrochlore structure only at 740–900°. Electroconductivity and permittivity of Lu₂Ti₂O₇ and Gd₂Ti₂O₇ are measured.     

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.

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.

The title complexes can be described as two-dimensional (2-D) stair-like structures, which are further connected by hydrogen bonds to form three-dimensional (3-D) frameworks.     

Molecular Ln(III)−H−E(II) Linkages (Ln=Y,Lu; E=Ge,Sn, Pb)

Following the alkane-elimination route, the reaction between tetravalent aryl tintrihydride Ar*SnH₃ and trivalent rare-earth-metallocene alkyls [Cp*₂Ln(CH{SiMe₃}₂)] gave complexes [Cp*₂Ln(μ-H)₂SnAr*] implementing a low-valent tin hydride (Ln=Y, Lu; Ar*=2,6-Trip₂C₆H₃, Trip=2,4,6-triisopropylphenyl). The homologous complexes of germanium and lead, [Cp*₂Ln(μ-H)₂EAr*] (E = Ge, Pb), were accessed via addition of low-valent [(Ar*EH)₂] to the rare-earth-metal hydrides [(Cp*₂LnH)₂]. The lead compounds [Cp*₂Ln(μ-H)₂PbAr*] exhibit H/D exchange in reactions with deuterated solvents or dihydrogen.     

Ceometries,Energetics and Spectroscopic Properties of Oxygen Clusters Oxy (x=2～6, y=-2～2)

The geometries, energetics and spectroscopic properties of oxygen clusters, Oxy(x=2~6, y=-2~2), were investigated at the B3LYP/6-311G (d, p) level. The CASSCF calculations were carried out for the ground and excited states of3O2and2O2+. The total energy is3O2(3Σg-)<2O2-(2Πgi)<1O2(1Δg)<1O2-2(1Σg+)<2O2+(2Πg)<1O2+2(1Σg+). The relative energy of the active doublet anion of oxygen molecule,2O2-(2Πgi), is only 28 kJ/mol higher than the triplet neutral oxygen molecule,3O2(3Σg-). The calculated O-O vibrational frequencies all are in good agreement with the experimental values. They are 1577 (1580), 1139 (1090), 1563 (1484), 627 (615~545) and 1993 (1905) cm-1, where the O-O vibrational frequency values in parentheses are experimental values, for3O2(3Σg-),2O2-(2Πgi),1O2(1Δg),1O2-2(1Σg+) and2O2+(2Πg), respectively. Moreover, the O-O vibrational frequency of1O2+2(1Σg+) was computed as 2368 cm-1which has not been reported before at both experimental and theoretical levels. Both bent and linear geometries of O3were studied. The bent-types of O3are more favorable than the linear-type in energy. Three types of structure for oxygen trimers are calculated at the B3LYP/6-311G (d, p) level. They are the structure-I with an obtuse angle of O-O-O,the structure-II with an acute angle of O-O-O, and the structure-III of linear type. For a bent-type structure of O3species (structure-I), the total enegy is2O3-(2B1)<1O3(1A1)<3O3(3B2)<1O3-2(1A1)<2O3+(2A1). The optimization of geometry at B3LYP/6-311G (d, p) level indicated that the species of2O3-(2B1) with 1.3573 of O-O bond length and 115.6584o of O-O-O bond anger is the ground state of O3. The total energy of O4species and their ions is2O4-(Cs,2A′, bend-type)<2O4-(C2v,2A2,face-centered triangle-type)<2O4-(D∞h,2Σg, linear-type)<1O4(Cs,1A′, bend-type)<1O4(D∞h,1Σg, linear-type)<1O4(D4h,1A1g, square-type)<1O4(C2v,1A1, face-centered triangle-type)<2O4-(D4h,1A1g, square-type)<2O4+(D∞h,2Σg, linear-type)<2O4+(Cs,1A′, bend-type). The species with the lowest relative energy is an anion,2O4-(Cs,2A′, bendtype), with chair form geometry and characteristic vibronic frequencies of 1179 and 1349 cm-1. The relative energy of1O5(C2v,1A1) with coplanar-triangle-bicone geometry is the lowest among the O5species and their ions, which may be a resonance structure with1O5(C2v,1A1) of A type. Their characteristic vibronic frequency is 1302 cm-1. The relative energy of the O6species and their ions with hexagon geometry is lower than one with linear geometry. Their infrared vi-bronic intensity may be weak and unobservable but the Raman vibronic intensity may be strong and observable based on their symmetry.

Syntheses,characterization, and crystal structures of coordination polymers: {NH4 · [Ln(OVA)4]} n (Ln=Pr,Nd, Gd,and Ho; OVA=2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzoate)

The title complexes {NH₄ · [Ln(OVA)₄]} _n (Ln = Pr, Nd, Gd, and Ho; OVA = 2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzoate) were synthesized in water and characterized by FT-IR, elemental analysis, TGA, and X-ray single-crystal diffraction analysis. Two distinct structure types were isolated. Structure type I with formula {NH₄ · [Ln(OVA)₄]} _n (Ln = Pr, Nd, Gd) contains Ln–COO^? quadruply-bridged helical 1-D chains, with all carboxylates bridging. The structure type II with formula {NH₄ · [Ho(OVA)₄]} _n contains bridging and chelating carboxylates, resulting in Ho–COO^? double helical 1-D chains. The passage from type I to type II structure is ascribed to the lanthanide contraction. These 1-D chains are extended to 3-D supramolecular architecture by hydrogen bonds.     

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.
