Synthesis and structures of Cs4[(UO2)2(C2O4)(SO4)2(NCS)2] · 4H2O and (NH4)4[(UO2)2(C2O4)(SO4)2(NCS)2] · 6H2O

Single crystals of Cs₄[(UO₂)₂(C₂O₄)(SO₄)₂(NCS)₂] · 4H₂O (I) and (NH₄)₄[(UO₂)₂(C₂O₄)(SO₄)₂(NCS)₂] · 6H₂O (II) have been synthesized and studied by X-ray diffraction. The crystals of both compounds are orthorhombic with the space group Pbam, Z = 2, and unit cell parameters a = 12.0177(3) ?, b = 18.6182(5) ?, c = 6.7573(10) ?, R = 0.0376 (I); a = 11.6539(9) ?, b = 18.3791(13) ?, c = 6.7216(5) ?, R = 0.0179 (II). The main structural units of crystals I and II are [(UO₂)₂(C₂O₄)(SO₄)₂(NCS)₂]⁴⁻ chains belonging to the crystal-chemical group A₂K⁰²B₂²M₂¹ (A = UO₂²⁺, K⁰² = C₂O₄²⁻, B² = SO₄²⁻, M¹ = NCS⁻) of the uranyl complexes. The uranium-containing chains are joined into a three-dimensional framework due to a system of electrostatic interactions with the cesium or ammonium ions in the structure of I. In the structure of II, this framework is additionally stabilized by hydrogen bonds involving the outer-sphere water molecules and ammonium ions. Original Russian Text ? I.V. Medrish, A.V.

Synthesis and study of the properties of K2Y1 ? x ? yEuxTby(MoO4)(PO4) and K2Y1 ? x ? yEuxTby(MoO4)(PO4)1?δ(VO4)δ solid solutions

Al synthesized samples are isostructural and crystallize in the orthorhombic symmetry system, space group Ibca. Particles of the final product of ∼200 nm in size have been obtained. The introduction of the vanadate anion into the matrix composition leads to the lowering of the symmetry of the Eu³⁺ environment and to the rise of the defect luminescence at 450–550 nm because of the unit cell distortion. The luminescence of defects in terbium-europium-containing samples is determined by the sample surface area, which decreases on annealing. The τ, W ₀ and γ parameters of the luminescence kinetics of the samples have been determined.

Complex potassium yttrium molybdate phosphates K2Y1 ? xEux(MoO4)(PO4)0.9(VO4)0.1: Synthesis and study of luminescent properties

Samples with various dopant contents were obtained using solid-state and sol-gel methods. The resulting single-phase samples have the formula K₂Y_{1 − x} Eu _x (MoO₄)(PO₄)_0.9(VO₄)_0.1 (x = 0, 0.005, 0.01, 0.02, 0.03) and are isostructural with K₂Y(MoO₄)(PO₄). The possibility of formation of complex molybdate vanadates M₂^IM^III(MoO₄)(VO₄). was studied. Unlike their precursor K₂Y(MoO₄)(PO₄), the complex potassium yttrium molybdate phosphates obtained are deliquescent. Their structures contain no water molecules. The absorption and emission spectra of the compounds under study were recorded. In all the spectra, the electric dipole transition ⁵ D ₀−⁷ F ₂ (616 nm) is appreciably more intense than the magnetic dipole transition ⁵ D ₀−⁷ F ₁ (590 nm). This suggests that the coordination environment of the Eu³⁺ ion keeps asymmetric. The excitedstate lifetimes of anhydrous and humidified samples were determined. The average lifetime is the same for all samples (≈1.5 ms), which is due to the stability of their structures.

Heat capacity and thermodynamical properties of the crystal of [RE2(Glu)2(H2O)8](ClO4)4·H2O (RE = Nd, Eu, Dy)

Thermodynamical data of rare earth complexes with amino acid are important for engineering chemistry and fundamental chemistry. However, they have rarely been reported. In this work, a series of crystalline complexes of rare earth perchlorate coordinated with glutamic acid have been synthesized in water medium, and their thermodynamical data, including the heat capacity in low temperature range and the standard enthalpy of formation, were determined. These complexes were identified to be [RE₂(Glu)₂(H₂O)₈](ClO₄)₄·H₂O (RE = Nd, Eu, Dy) by using thermogravimetric analysis (TG), differential thermal analysis (DTA), and chemical and elementary analyses. Their purity has been determined. No melting points were observed for all the three complexes. The heat capacity of the complexes was measured by an adiabatic calorimeter from 79 to 370 K. Abnormal heat capacity values were detected for two of the complexes and the decomposition range of one complex was found. The temperature, enthalpy change and entropy change of the decomposition processes of the three complexes were calculated. The polynomial equations of heat capacity in the experimental temperature range have been obtained by least squares fitting. The standard enthalpy of formation was determined by an isoperibol reaction calorimeter at 298.15 K. Supported by the Research Fund of Beijing Institute of Petro-Chemical Technology (N06-06)     

Mechanism studies and electrochemical performance optimization on xLiFePO4·(1 ? x)Li3V2(PO4)3 hybrid materials

Hybrid materials xLiFePO₄·(1 − x)Li₃V₂(PO₄)₃ were synthesized by sol–gel method, with phenolic resin as carbon source and chelating agent, methylglycol as surfactant. The crystal structure, morphology and electrochemical performance of the prepared samples were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), cyclic voltammetry (CV), galvanostatic charge–discharge test and particle size analysis. The results show that LiFePO₄ and Li₃V₂(PO₄)₃ co-exist in hybrid materials, but react in single phase. Compared with individual LiFePO₄ and Li₃V₂(PO₄)₃ samples, hybrid materials have smaller particle size and more uniform grain distribution. This structure can facilitate Li ions extraction and insertion, which greatly improves the electrochemical properties. The sample 0.7LiFePO₄·0.3Li₃V₂(PO₄)₃ retains the advantages of LiFePO₄ and Li₃V₂(PO₄)₃, obtaining an initial discharge capacity of 166 mA h/g at 0.1 C rate and 109 mA h/g at 20 C rate, with a capacity retention rate of 73.3% and an excellent cycle stability.     

Self-Assembly of Isopolyanion Clusters and Lanthanide-Organic Units into 2D Layers: (NH4)2{[Ln2(C7H4NO4)2(H2O)9][(H2W12O40)]}·nH2O (Ln?=?Gd, Tb, Ho)

Three novel 1:2 composite compounds prepared with the isopolyanions and lanthanide-organic units, (NH₄)₂{[Ln₂(HL)₂(H₂O)₉][(H₂W₁₂O₄₀)]}·nH₂O (Ln = Gd³⁺ (1), Tb³⁺ (2), n = 15; Ho³⁺ (3), n = 10; L = pyridine-3,5-dicarboxylate) were synthesized at room temperature and characterized by routine methods. X-ray structural analysis reveals that these structures are isomorphic: two crystallographically independent Ln³⁺ ions (Ln1 and Ln2) locate in different coordination environments; two ligands plays dissimilar coordination mode; the isopolyanion cluster acts as a tridentate ligand and connects three Ln³⁺ ions (Ln1, Ln1′ and Ln2) forming an unusual 2D undee-layer. The room temperature luminescent of 2 has been studied and exhibits a Tb³⁺ characteristic emission in the range of 450–650 nm.     

The crystal structure of Yb2(SO4)3·3H2O and its decomposition product, β-Yb2(SO4)3

Yb₂(SO₄)₃·3H₂O, synthesised by hydrothermal methods at 220(2) °C, has been investigated by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Yb₂(SO₄)₃·3H₂O crystallises in space group Cmc2₁ and is isostructural with Lu₂(SO₄)₃·3H₂O. The crystal structure has been refined to R₁=0.0145 for 3412 reflections [F_o>3σ(F)], and 0.0150 for all 3472 reflections. The structure of Yb₂(SO₄)₃·3H₂O is a complex framework of YbO₆ octahedra, YbO₈ and YbO₅(H₂O)₃ polyhedra and SO₄ tetrahedra. Thermal data shows that Yb₂(SO₄)₃·3H₂O decomposes between 120 and 190 °C to form β-Yb₂(SO₄)₃. The structure of a twinned crystal of β-Yb₂(SO₄)₃ was solved and refined using an amplimode refinement in R3c with an R₁=0.0755 for 8944 reflections [F_o>3σ(F)], and 0.1483 for all 16,361 reflections. β-Yb₂(SO₄)₃ has a unique structural topology based on a 3D network of pinwheels.
