Syntheses and Crystal Structures of BaAgTbS3, BaCuGdTe3, BaCuTbTe3, BaAgTbTe3, and CsAgUTe3

Five new quaternary chalcogenides of the 1113 family, namely BaAgTbS₃, BaCuGdTe₃, BaCuTbTe₃, BaAgTbTe₃, and CsAgUTe₃, were synthesized by the reactions of the elements at 1173–1273 K. For CsAgUTe₃ CsCl flux was used. Their crystal structures were determined by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction studies. The sulfide BaAgTbS₃ crystallizes in the BaAgErS₃ structure type in the monoclinic space group C³,_2h‐C2/m, whereas the tellurides BaCuGdTe₃, BaCuTbTe₃, BaAgTbTe₃, and CsAgUTe₃ crystallize in the KCuZrS₃ structure type in the orthorhombic space group D¹_,2⁷_,h‐Cmcm. The BaAgTbS₃ structure consists of edge‐sharing [TbS₆^9–] octahedra and [AgS₅^9–] trigonal pyramids. The connectivity of these polyhedra creates channels that are occupied by Ba atoms. The telluride structure features ²_∞[MLnTe₃^2–] layers for BaCuGdTe₃, BaCuTbTe₃, BaAgTbTe₃, and ²_∞[AgUTe₃^1–] layers for CsAgUTe₃. These layers comprise [MTe₄] tetrahedra and [LnTe₆] or [UTe₆] octahedra. Ba or Cs atoms separate these layers. As there are no short Q ··· Q (Q = S or Te) interactions these compounds achieve charge balance as Ba²⁺M⁺Ln³⁺(Q^2–)₃ (Q = S and Te) and Cs⁺Ag⁺U⁴⁺(Te^2–)₃.     

Syntheses and Crystal Structures of the Novel Ternary Thioborates Na3BS3, K3BS3, and Rb3BS3

The orthothioborates Na₃BS₃, K₃BS₃ and Rb₃BS₃ were prepared from the metal sulfides, amorphous boron and sulfur in solid state reactions at temperatures between 923 and 973 K. In a systematic study on the structural cation influence on this type of ternary compounds, the crystal structures were determined by single crystal X‐ray diffraction experiments. Na₃BS₃ crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c (No. 15) with a = 11.853(14) Å, b = 6.664(10) Å, c = 8.406(10) Å, β = 118.18(2)° and Z = 4. K₃BS₃ and Rb₃BS₃ are monoclinic, space group P2₁/c (No. 14) with a = 10.061(3) Å, b = 6.210(2) Å, c = 12.538(3) Å, β = 112.97(2) and a = 10.215(3) Å, b = 6.407(1) Å, c = 13.069(6) Å, β = 103.64(5)°, Z = 4. The potassium and rubidium compounds are not isotypic. All three compounds contain isolated [BS₃]^3– anions with boron in a trigonal‐planar coordination. The sodium cations in Na₃BS₃ are located between layers of orthothioborate anions, in the case of K₃BS₃ and Rb₃BS₃ stacks of [BS₃]^3– entities are connected via the corresponding cations. X‐ray powder patterns were measured and compared to calculated ones obtained from single crystal X‐ray structure determinations.

Kinetics of gas‐phase reactions of CH3OCH2CF3, CH3OCH3, CH3OCH2CH3, CH3CH2OCH2CH3, and CHF2CF2OCH2CF3 with NO3 radicals at 298 K

Rate constants for the gas‐phase reactions of CH₃OCH₂CF₃ (k₁), CH₃OCH₃ (k₂), CH₃OCH₂CH₃ (k₃), and CH₃CH₂OCH₂CH₃ (k₄) with NO₃ radicals were determined by means of a relative rate method at 298 K. NO₃ radicals were prepared by thermal decomposition of N₂O₅ in a 700–750 Torr N₂O₅/NO₂/NO₃/air gas mixture in a 1‐m³ temperature‐controlled chamber. The measured rate constants at 298 K were k₁ = (5.3 ± 0.9) × 10^?18, k₂ = (1.07 ± 0.10) × 10^?16, k₃ = (7.81 ± 0.36) × 10^?16, and k₄ = (2.80 ± 0.10) × 10^?15 cm³ molecule^?1 s^?1. Potential energy surfaces for the NO₃ radical reactions were computationally explored, and the rate constants of k₁–k₅ were calculated according to the transition state theory. The calculated values of rate constants k₁–k₄ were in reasonable agreement with the experimentally determined values. The calculated value of k₅ was compared with the estimate (k₅ < 5.3 × 10^?21 cm³ molecule^?1 s^?1) derived from the correlation between the rate constants for reactions with NO₃ radicals (k₁–k₄) and the corresponding rate constants for reactions with OH radicals. We estimated the tropospheric lifetimes of CH₃OCH₂CF₃ and CHF₂CF₂OCH₂CF₃ to be 240 and >2.4 × 10⁵ years, respectively, with respect to reaction with NO₃ radicals. The tropospheric lifetimes of these compounds are much shorter with respect to the OH reaction. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Chem Kinet 41: 490–497, 2009

Two novel isopropylamine‐templated uranyl chromates, [(CH₃)₂CHNH₃]₃[(UO₂)₃(CrO₄)₂O(OH)₃] ( 1 ) and [(CH₃)₂CHNH₃]₂[(UO₂)₂(CrO₄)₃(H₂O)] ( 2 ) were prepared by hydrothermal method at 100 °C. The compounds were characterized by electron microprobe analysis and X‐ray diffraction crystal structure analysis [ 1 : trigonal, P31m, a = 9.646(4), c = 8.469(4) Å, V = 682.4(5) ų; 2 : monoclinic, P2₁/c, a = 11.309(3), b = 11.465(3), c = 17.055(5) Å, β = 99.150(6)°, V = 2183.2(11) ų]. The structure of 1 is based upon trimers of uranyl bipyramids interlinked by CrO₄ tetrahedra to form [(UO₂)₃(CrO₄)₂O(OH)₃]^3– layers, whereas, in the structure of 2 , UO₇ and UO₆(H₂O) pentagonal bipyramids are linked through CrO₄ tetrahedra into the [(UO₂)₂(CrO₄)₃(H₂O)]^2– layers. The structures show many similarities to related uranyl selenate compounds, thus providing additional data on similarities and differences between uranyl sulfates, chromates, selenates, and molybdates.

Tetraazadibora[3, 3]paracyclophane

Starting from the para‐phenylenediamine derivative HN(SiMe₃)‐C₆H₄‐NH(SiMe₃), a lithiation and subsequent borylation give [(MeO)₂B]N(SiMe₃)‐C₆H₄‐N(SiMe₃)[B(OMe)₂] ( 1 ), the hydridation of which yields Li₂[(H₃B)N(SiMe₃)‐C₆H₄‐N(SiMe₃)(BH₃)] ( 2 ). Applying ZrCl₄ upon 2 initiates a condensation to give the title compound [‐N(SiMe₃)‐p‐C₆H₄‐N(SiMe₃)‐BH‐]₂, a hetero[3, 3]paracyclophane with two N‐B‐N chains that connect the para‐phenylene units. The product 3 crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group P2₁2₁2₁.

The experimental results obtained for the specific molar heat capacity of the tellurites Yb₂(TeO₃)₃, Dy₂(TeO₃)₃ and Er₂(TeO₃)₃ are processed by the least squares method. The temperature dependence of the specific molar heat capacity derived is used to determine the thermodynamic properties: entropy ( \Updelta_T￠^T S_m⁰ ), \left( {\Updelta_{T\prime }^{T} S_{m}^{0} } \right), enthalpy ( \Updelta_T￠^T H_m⁰ ) \left( {\Updelta_{T\prime }^{T} H_{m}^{0} } \right) and Gibbs function ( \Updelta_T￠^T G_m⁰ ) \left( {\Updelta_{T\prime }^{T} G_{m}^{0} } \right) of the tellurites Yb₂(TeO₃)₃, Dy₂(TeO₃)₃ and Er₂(TeO₃)₃.     

Intramolekularer Antiferromagnetismus in [Cr2(μ-NH2)3(NH3)6]I3

Intramolecular Antiferromagnetism in [Cr₂(μ-NH₂)₃(NH₃)₆]I₃ The magnetism of [Cr₂(μ-NH₂)₃(NH₃)₆]I₃ which consists of binuclear cations with NH₂^?-bridged face-sharing octahedral coordination polyhedra and a metal-metal separation of 264.9 pm can be explained by antiferromagnetically exchange-coupled Cr^III-3d³ pairs. The magnetochemical analysis in the temperature range 5 K – 295 K on the basis of the isotropic Heisenberg model (spin Hamiltonian ? = ?2 J?₁ · ?₂) leads to the parameter value J = ?98(3) cm^?1. Compared to the exchange coupling in corresponding binuclear chromium compounds with OH^? bridges and identical metal-metal separation the strength of the coupling is significantly enhanced (J_NH2/J_OH ≈? 1.6).

Reactions of[NH_4]_2[MS_4](M=Mo,W),AgX(X=Cl,Br,I,CN,SCN)and PPh_3in the solid state produced six new mixed-metal sulfur containing cluster compounds,two ofwhich,{Ag_3MoS_3I}(PPh_3)_3S(1)and{Ag_3WS_3Cl}(PPh_3)_3S·0.5P(S)Ph_3·3H_2O(2),were determinedby single crystal X-ray analysis.The crystal data:1,triclinic,P,a=12.114(2),b=13.420(2),c=20.346(3),α=74.53(1),β=86.73(1),γ=63.74(1)°,Z=2,R=0.043 for 4805 independentdata;2,hexagonal,R3,a=b=16.201(3),c=45.091(10),Z=6,R=0.042 for 2729 independentdata.The central unit{Ag_3MS_3X}(M=Mo,W;X=Cl,I)of the two compounds can be des-cribed as a slightly distorted cube,four corners being formed by the MS_4~(2-) ligand(with a ter-minal S atom).The remaining corners are occupied by one X(Cl or I)atom and three Agatoms(with one PPh_3 ligand bound to each of the latter).The generation of different types ofAg-Mo(W)-S cluster compounds prepared from solid state reactions under different reactiontemperatues is discussed.     

Synthesis and Characterization of the Silylated Hexaphenyl Carbodiphosphorane [Me3SiC(PPh3)2][CF3SO3]

The addition of trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate TMS‐OTf (CF₃SO₃ = OTf, triflate) to hexaphenyl carbodiphosphorane PPh₃=C=PPh₃ ( 1 ) in toluene yields the silylated carbodiphosphorane [Me₃SiC(PPh₃)₂][OTf] ( 2 ). Compound 2 represents the first silylated carbodiphosphorane characterized in solution and in the solid state. 2 is an air‐sensitive compound but stable in solution and in the solid state in an inert atmosphere as shown by heteronuclear NMR experiments and also by X‐ray diffraction analysis. Compound 2 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/n with the cell dimensions a = 1161.7(1), b = 1714.4(1), c = 1903.3(1) pm; β = 102.74(1)° and Z = 4. Structure, frontier orbitals, and dissociation energies for 2 were determined by density functional theory‐based computations highlighting the character of 2 as a Lewis acid adduct of a carbon(0) compound.     

Synthesis of New LnxBi2–xSe3 (Ln: Sm3+, Eu3+, Gd3+, Tb3+) Nanomaterials and Investigation of Their Optical Properties

New Ln_xBi_2–xSe₃ (Ln: Sm³⁺, Eu³⁺, Gd³⁺, Tb³⁺) based nanomaterials were synthesized by a co‐reduction method. Powder XRD patterns indicate that the Ln_xBi_2–xSe₃ crystals (Ln = Sm³⁺, Eu³⁺, x = 0.00–0.44 and Ln = Gd³⁺, Tb³⁺, x = 0.00–0.50) are isostructural with Bi₂Se₃. The cell parameter c decreases for Ln = Eu³⁺, Gd³⁺, Tb³⁺ upon increasing the dopant content (x), while a slightly increases. Changes in lattice parameters could be related to the radii of cations. SEM images show that doping of the lanthanide ions in the lattice of Bi₂Se₃ generally results in nanoflowers. For the terbium compound two kinds of morphologies (nanoflowers and nanobelts) were observed. UV/Vis absorption and emission spectroscopy reveals mainly electronic transitions of the Ln³⁺ ions. Emission spectra show intense transitions from the excited to the ground state of Ln³⁺ and energy transfer from the Bi₂Se₃ lattice. Emission spectra of europium‐doped materials, in addition to the characteristic red emission peaks of Eu³⁺, show an intense blue emission band centered at 432 nm, originating from the 4f⁶5d¹ to 4f⁷ configuration in Eu²⁺. EPR measurements confirm the existence of Eu²⁺ in the materials. Interestingly, for all samples starting at low Ln³⁺ concentration, the emission intensity rises to a maximum at a Ln³⁺ concentration of x = 0.2 and falls again steadily to a minimum at x = 0.45.

Both can be described as double salts of a hypothetic Zintl Phase ('Ba₂P₃' or 'Ba₇P₁₀') and a halide (BaI₂). Characteristic structural features are P₃ and P₄ chains, corresponding to Ba₃[P₃]I₂ and Ba₁₀[P₃]₂[P₄]I₆, respectively. The bonding characteristics will be interpreted on the basis of the structure and the physical properties.
