Synthesis of zirconium (hafnium) fluoride compounds and their X-ray luminescence properties

Twenty-five zirconium (hafnium) fluoride compounds have been synthesized at room temperature in the systems MO₂-H₂SO₄-M′_nA(HF)-H₂O (M = Zr (Hf); M′ = Na, K, Rb, Cs, NH₄; A = F, SO₄) and their X-ray luminescence spectra (luminescence wavelengths and relative intensities) have been measured. The X-ray luminescence of the compounds has been considered as a function of the composition (cations, anions, water content) and different structural factors (CNs, polyhedra, H-bonds). Ammonium compounds do not luminesce, and sodium fluorozirconates and heptafluorozirconates are weakly luminescing. Hexafluorozirconates M₂Zr(Hf)F₆ (M= K, Rb, Cs) and M₅Zr₄F₂₁ · 3H₂O (M = Rb, Cs), as well as oxofluorozirconate Rb₂Zr₃OF₁₂, are strongly luminescing compounds.     

Zintl-Verbindungen mit Gold: M3AuSn4 mit M = K,Rb, Cs und M3AuPb4 mit M = Rb,Cs

Zintl-Compounds with Gold: M₃AuSn₄ with M = K, Rb, Cs and M₃AuPb₄ with M = Rb, Cs Silver coloured, brittle single crystals of the compounds M₃AuSn₄ with M = K, Rb, Cs and M₃AuPb₄ with M = Rb, Cs were synthesized by reactions of alkali metal azides (MN₃) with gold sponge and tin (lead) powder at T = 923 K. The structures of the isotypic compounds (space group Pmmn, Z = 2) were determined from X-ray single-crystal diffractometry data (see ‘‘Inhaltsübersicht”︁”︁). The Zintl-compounds M₃AuE(14)₄ with E(14) = Sn, Pb contain [AuE(14)₄]-chains with P₄-analogous E(14)₄-tetrahedra which are connected by μ₂-bridging gold atoms.     

Alkali metal zinc vanadates

The phase composition of the M₂O-ZnO-V₂O₅ (M = Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs) systems at subsolidus temperatures is investigated. Three groups of double vanadates are identified: M₂Zn(VO₃)₄ for M = K, Rb, or Cs; M₂ZnV₂O₇ for M = Na, K, or Rb; and MZnVO₄ for M = Li or Cs. Double pyrovanadate Rb₂ZnV₂O₇ is synthesized for the first time. Phase diagrams are designed for all systems. Comparative phase-formation features of the systems in the alkali oxide series are considered.     

Coordination chemistry of higher oxidation states. 10 [1]. Oxofluoroanions of osmium(VIII) [OsO4F2]2− and [OsO3F3]−

Trioxotrifluoroosmates(VIII) M[OsO₃F₃] (M = Cs, Rb, K) have been prepared by direct combination of OsO₃F₂ and the appropriate alkali fluoride MF. The reaction of OsO₄ with M′F (M′ = Cs, Rb) in aqueous solution produces the tetraoxodifluoroosmates(VIII) M′₂[OsO₄F₂]. On the basis of their vibrational spectra the assignment of a $\text{fac}$ (C_3v) structure to [OsO₃F₃]^? and a $\text{cis}$ (C_2v) to [OsO₄F₂]^2? is proposed. The electronic spectra of the anions have been recorded and are interpreted using the optical electronegativity concept.

Structural Study of Alkaline 1-Phenyl-1H-1, 2, 3, 4-tetrazole-5-thiolate Salts: An Example of Periodicity in Alkaline Cations

The alkaline 1-phenyl-1H-1, 2, 3, 4-tetrazole-5-thiolate salts, M[C₆H₅N₄CS] (M = Li ( 1 ), Na ( 2 ), K ( 3 ), Rb ( 4 ) and Cs ( 5 )) were obtained and characterized by means of mass spectrometry (FAB⁺) and NMR (¹H; ¹³C) spectroscopy. The structures of Na ( 2 ), K ( 3 ), Rb ( 4 ) and Cs ( 5 ) compounds were determined by X-ray diffraction methods. The ligand shows a rich variety of coordination patterns with the alkaline cations. The formation of a four-membered ring MSCN in the compounds with heavier alkali cations (K, Rb and Cs) is shown. In all the cations the coordination number around it increases with the ionic radius. Compounds with Cs⁺ and Rb⁺ exhibited the formation of Cs-C and Rb-C interactions with the phenyl group.     

Präparative,röntgenographische und 1 H-Breitlinienresonanzuntersuchungen an Germylalkaliverbindungen,GeH 3 M

Preparation, X-Ray and 1 H-Wide-Line-Resonance Studies of Alkali Germyl Compounds, GeH ₃ M The alkali germyls GeH ₃ M (M = Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs) have been prepared from germane and the corresponding alkali metals. GeH ₃ K, GeH ₃ Rb and GeH ₃ Cs could be obtained as crystalline solids.

Synthesis and Structural Investigation of a Complete Series of Brightly Colored Alkali Metal 1,3-Dimethylviolurates

A complete series of alkali metal 1,3-dimethylviolurates M(Me₂Vio) was synthesized and fully characterized. The title compounds M(Me₂Vio)(H₂O) [M = Li ( 3 ), Na ( 4 )], K(Me₂Vio)(H₂O)_0.5 ( 5 ) and M(Me₂Vio) [M = Rb ( 6 ), Cs ( 7 )] were prepared by neutralizing 1,3-dimethylvioluric acid (= HMe₂Vio; 2 ) with 1 equiv. of the corresponding metal hydroxides MOH. The resulting salts exhibit striking colors ranging from orange-red ( 3 ) through purple ( 4 , 5 ) to bright blue ( 6 , 7 ). In contrast to the monohydrate 4 , the classical synthesis of sodium 1,3-dimethylviolurate from 1,3-dimethylbarbituric acid and NaNO₂ afforded the purple trihydrate Na(Me₂Vio)(H₂O)₃ ( 4a ). All new compounds have been fully characterized by their IR and NMR (¹H, ¹³C) spectra as well as elemental analyses. X-ray crystal structure determination revealed that the title compounds exist as one- (Li, Na), two- (K, Cs), or three-dimensional (Rb) coordination polymers in the solid state.     

Dimensions of the Ozonide Anion in M([18]crown‐6)O3·x NH3 with M = K (x = 2), Rb (x = 1) and Cs (x = 8)

Reaction of alkali metal ozonides (KO₃, RbO₃ and CsO₃) with [18]crown‐6 in liquid ammonia yields compounds of the composition M([18]crown‐6)O₃·x NH₃ with M = K (x = 2), Rb (x = 1) and Cs (x = 8). The large intermolecular distance between adjacent radical anions in these compounds leads to almost ideal paramagnetic behavior according to Curie's law. Discrepancies concerning the structure of the ozonide anions in the K and Cs compound compared to a former investigation on Rb([18]crown‐6)O₃·NH₃ have been resolved by means of DFT calculations and a single‐crystal structure redetermination.

Zur Kenntnis der Fluoride zweiwertiger Lanthanoide. II. Über die Synthese von MLnF3 aus MLnF4

On Fluorides of Divalent Lanthanoids. II. Synthesis of MLnF₃ from MLnF₄ CsEuF₃, CsYbF₃, and RbYbF₃, which had already been prepared via reduction of the corresponding trifluorides with alkali metal, were also obtained by reducing MLnF₄ with M (M = Cs, Rb, K; Ln = Eu, Yb). No additional alkali fluoroperovskites of lanthanoids were detected either by reduction of LnF₃ or MLnF₄ with metallic Cs, Rb, or K or by other reactions, e.g. 3CsF + 2SmF₃ + Sm. It was shown that the reaction of CsF with EuF₂ (350–850°C) produced only very little CsEuF₃.

Etude par effet Mössbauer des composés de type “bronzes fluorés” MxFeF3 (M = K,Rb, Cs,NH4)

The hexagonal, tetragonal and pyrochlore-type nonstoichiometric iron fluorides M_xFeF₃ (M = K, Rb, Cs, NH₄) have been studied by Mössbauer spectroscopy over the temperature range 4.2 to 295 K. The magnetic transition temperatures have been determined. The ferrous and ferric ions remain in discrete oxidation states indicating the absence of charge hopping. The broadened lines of the spectra of the hexagonal and tetragonal phases are consistent with the disordering of Fe²⁺ and Fe³⁺ in the structure. By contrast, the narrow linewidths of the spectra of the pyrochlore-type phases characterize a structural ordering between the ferrous and ferric ions.     

XPS study of nanorods of doped vanadium oxide MxV2O5 · nH2O (M = Na, K, Rb, Cs)

Nanorods of vanadium oxide doped with alkali metal ions M _x V₂O₅ · nH₂O (M = Na, K, Rb, Cs, x = 0.31–0.44) have been obtained under hydrothermal conditions. The particles are 30–80 nm in diameter and a few micrometers in length. The chemical state of atoms and their concentration ratios have been studied by XPS. It has been shown that vanadium atoms are in two oxidation states V⁵⁺ and V⁴⁺ and the concentration of vanadium(IV) ions directly depends on the alkali metal. The X-ray photoelectron spectra of the valence bands of M _x V₂O₅ · nH₂O (M = Na, K, Rb, Cs) nanorods have been measured and interpreted.
