Reactions and phases within the TeO2-rich part of the Bi2O3-TeO2 system

The complexes of heavy lanthanides and yttrium with 2,3-dimethoxybenzoic acid of the formula: Ln(C₉h₉O₄)₃·nH₂O, where Ln=Tb(III), Dy(III), Ho(III), Er(III), Tm(III), Yb(III), Lu(III), Y(III), and n=2 for Tb(III), Dy(III), Ho(III), Y(III), n=1 for Er(III), Tm(III), n=0 for Yb(III) and Lu(III) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, ir spectroscopy, thermogravimetric studies and x-ray diffraction measurements. The complexes have colours typical for Lnł³⁺ ions (Tb(III), Dy(III), Tm(III), Yb(III), Lu(III), Y(III) - white; Ho(III) - cream and Er(III) - salmon). the carboxylate groups in these complexes are a symmetrical, bidentate, chelating ligand or tridentate chelating-bridging. they are isostructural crystalline compounds characterized by low symmetry. On heating in air to 1273 k the 2,3-dimethoxybenzoates of heavy lanthanides and yttrium decompose in various ways. The complexes of Tb(III), Dy(III), Ho(III), Er(III), Tm(III) and Y(III) at first dehydrate to form anhydrous salts which next are decomposed to the oxides of the respective metals. 2,3-dimethoxybenzoates of Yb(III) and Lu(III) are directly decomposed to oxides. When heated in nitrogen the hydrates also dehydrate in one step to form the anhydrous complexes that next form the mixture of carbon and oxides of respective metals or their carbonates. The solubility of the yttrium and heavy lanthanide 2,3-dimethoxybenzoates in water at 293 k is of the order of 10^-2 mol dm^-3.

Complexes of Heavy Lanthanides and Yttrium with 3,4-dimethoxybenzoic Acid

The complexes of yttrium and heavy lanthanides with 3,4-dimethoxybenzoic acid of the formula: Ln(C₉ H₉ O₄ )₃ ×n H₂ O, where Ln =Y(III), Tb(III), Dy(III), Ho(III), Er(III), Tm(III), Yb(III) and Lu(III), and n =4 for Tb(III), Dy(III), n =3 for Ho(III), and n =0 for Er(III), Tm(III), Yb(III), Lu(III) and Y(III) have been prepared and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, thermogravimetric and magnetic studies and X-ray diffraction measurements. The complexes have colours typical of Ln³⁺ ions (Ho - cream, Tb, Dy, Yb, Lu, Y - white, Er - salmon). The carboxylate group in these complexes is a symmetrical, bidentate, chelating ligand. They are crystalline compounds characterized by various symmetry. On heating in air to 1273 K the hydrated 3,4-dimethoxybenzoates decompose in two steps while those of anhydrous only in one stage. The tetrahydrates of Tb and Dy and trihydrate of Ho 3,4-dimethoxybenzoates are firstly dehydrated to form anhydrous salts that next are decomposed to the oxides of the respective metals. The complexes of Er, Tm, Yb, Lu and Y are directly decomposed to the oxides of the appropriate elements. The solubility in water at 293 K for yttrium and heavy lanthanides is in the order of 10^-4 -10^-3 mol dm^-3 . The magnetic moments of the complexes were determined over the range 77–298 K. They obey the Curie-Weiss law. The values of μ_eff calculated for all compounds are close to those obtained for Ln³⁺ by Hund and van Vleck. The results show that there is no influence of the ligand field on 4f electrons of lanthanide ions in these polycrystalline compounds and 4f electrons do not take part in the formation of M-O bonding.

Thermal and Spectral Features of Yttrium and Heavy Lanthanide Complexes with 2,4-dimethoxybenzoic Acid

The complexes of yttrium and heavy lanthanides with 2,4-dimethoxybenzoic acid of the formula: Ln(C₉H₉O₄)₃×nH₂O, where Ln=Tb(III), Dy(III), Ho(III), Er(III), Tm(III), Yb(III), Lu(III) and Y(III), n=2 for Tb(III), Dy(III), Ho(III), Er(III), Tm(III) and Y(III), and n=0 for Yb(III) and Lu(III), have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, themogravimetric studies, as well as X–ray and magnetic susceptibility measurements. The complexes have a colour typical of Ln ³⁺ salts (Tb, Dy, Tm, Yb, Lu, Y – white, Ho – cream, Er – pink). The carboxylate group in these complexes is a bidentate, chelating ligand. The compounds form crystals of various symmetry. 2,4-Dimethoxybenzoates of Yb(III) and Lu(III) are isostructural. 2,4-Dimethoxybenzoates of yttrium and heavy lanthanides decompose in various ways on heating in air to 1173 K. The hydrated complexes first lose water to form anhydrous salts and then decompose to the oxides of respective metals. The ytterbium and lutetium 2,4-dimethoxybenzoates decompose in one step to form Yb₂O₃ and Lu₂O₃. The solubilities of the 2,4-dimethoxybenzoates of yttrium and heavy lanthanides in water and ethanol at 293 K are of the order of: ^10–3 and 10^–3 –10^–2 mol dm^–3, respectively. The magnetic moments for the complexes were determined over the range of 77–298 K. They obey the Curie–Weiss law. The results show that there is no influence of the ligand field on the 4f electrons of lanthanide ions. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Thermal decompositions of heavy lanthanide aconitates

The conditions of thermal decomposition of Tb(III), Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb and Lu aconitates have been studied. On heating, the aconitates of heavy lanthanides lose crystallization water to yield anhydrous salts, which are then transformed into oxides. The aconitate of Tb(III) decomposes in two stages. First, the complex undergoes dehydration to form the anhydrous salt, which next decomposes directly to Tb₄O₇. The aconitates of Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb and Lu decompose in three stages. On heating, the hydrated complexes lose crystallization water, yielding the anhydrous complexes; these subsequently decompose to Ln₂O₃ with intermediate formation of Ln₂O₂CO₃.     

Extraction of rare earth elements with functionalized ionic liquid, 1,11-bis(1-methylimidazol-3-yl)-3,6,9-trioxaundecane bis(hexafluorophosphate)

Interfacial distribution of La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, Lu, and Y between aqueous solutions of their salts and solutions of functionalized ionic liquid, 1,11-bis(1-methylimidazol-3-yl)-3,6,9-trioxaundecane bis(hexafluorophosphate) has been studied. The stoichiometry of extracted complexes has been determined, the effect of HNO₃ concentration in aqueous phase on the efficiency of rare earth elements(III) recovery into organic phase has been considered.     

4-Chloro-2-methoxybenzoates of heavy lanthanides(III) and yttrium(III)

4-Chloro-2-methoxybenzoates of heavy lanthanides(III) and yttrium(III) were obtained as mono-, di-, tri-or tetrahydrates with metal to ligand ratio of 1:3 and general formula Ln(C₈H₆ClO₃)₃·nH₂O, where n=1 for Ln=Er, n=2 for Ln=Tb, Dy, Tm, Y, n=3 for Ln=Ho and n=4 for Yb and Lu. The complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, FTIR spectra, TG, DTA and DSC curves, X-ray diffraction and magnetic measurements. The carboxylate group appears to be a symmetrical bidentate chelating ligand. All complexes are polycrystalline compounds. The values of enthalpy, ΔH, of the dehydration process for analysed complexes were also determined. The solubilities of heavy lanthanide(III) 4-chloro-2-methoxybenzoates in water at 293 K are of the order of 10⁻⁴ mol dm⁻³. The magnetic moments were determined over the range of 76–303 K. The results indicate that there is no influence of the ligand field of 4f electrons on lanthanide ions and the metal ligand bonding is mainly electrostatic in nature.     

Studies on thermal decomposition of 3-chlorobenzoates of rare earth elements in air atmosphere

The conditions of thermal decomposition of the 3-chlorobenzoates of Y, La and the lanthanides from Ce(III) to Lu have been studied. The complexes of La, Pr(III), Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb(III) and Dy were prepared as heptahydrates, those of Ce(III) and Y as pentahydrates, that of Nd as the tetrahydrate, that of Ho as the dihydrate and those of Er, Tm, Yb and Lu as anhydrous salts. On heating, these complexes decompose in three or two stages. They first lose some water molecules and then decompose to oxides through the intermediate formation of LnOCl. Cerium(III) 3-chlorobenzoate loses its crystallization water in two stages and yields the anhydrous salt, which is then transformed directly into CeO₂. All these complexes melt before decomposition in the temperature range 441–513 K.

Application of atomic absorption spectrophotometry for the determination of lanthanides in ores and rare earth concentrates

Summary Concentrations of La, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb and Y were determined in rare earth ores and concentrates by the flame atomic absorption method, those of Eu, Gd, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb and Y also by the flameless method with a graphite cell. Accuracy was checked by using a standard lanthanides mixture. The results of the determinations in concentrates (by flame and by furnace AAS, both direct measurement and standard addition method) were compared with those obtained by spectrophotometry. Detection limits were defined in a HGA-70 graphite cell with application of a standard graphite tube. The results of the examinations revealed that both the AAS methods are suitable for lanthanide determinations in the above materials. Heavy lanthanides can be determined in lower concentrations than by spectrophotometry.

Structural,electrical, and magnetic properties of a series of molecular conductors based on BDT-TTP and lanthanoid nitrate complex anions (BDT-TTP = 2,5-Bis(1,3-dithiol-2-ylidene)-1,3,4,6-tetrathiapentalene)

The platelike crystals of a series of novel molecular conductors, which are based on the pi-donor molecules BDT-TTP (2,5-bis(1,3-dithiol-2-ylidene)-1,3,4,6-tetrathiapentalene) with a tetrathiapentalene skeleton and lanthanide nitrate complex anions [Ln(NO3)x](3-x)(Ln = La, Ce, (Pr), Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, Lu) with localized 4f magnetic moments, were synthesized. Except for the Ce complex, the salts were composed of (BDT-TTP)(5)[Ln(NO(3))(5)] and were isostructural. Even though the Ce crystal had a different composition, (BDT-TTP)(6)[Ce(NO(3))(6)](C(2)H(5)OH)(x)() (x approximately 3), the crystals all had the space group P(-)1. Although the X-ray examination of the Pr salts was insufficient, the existence of two modifications was suggested in these systems by preliminary X-ray examination. Previously, we reported the crystal structures and unique magnetic properties of (BDT-TTP)(5)[Ln(NO(3))(5)] (Ln = Sm, Eu, Nd, Gd). Thus, by combining the results of this work with previous one, we for the first time succeeded in obtaining a complete set of organic conductors composed of the identical pi-donors (BDT-TTP in this case) and all the lanthanide nitrate complex anions (except the complex with Pm(3+)). The crystals were all metallic down to 2 K. Electronic band structure calculations resulted in two-dimensional Fermi surfaces, which was consistent with their stable metallic states. Except for the Lu complex, which lacked paramagnetic moments, the magnetic susceptibilities were measured on the six heavy lanthanide ion complex salts by a SQUID magnetometer (Ln = Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb). The large paramagnetic susceptibilities, which were caused by the paramagnetic moments of the rare-earth ions, were obtained. The Curie-Weiss law fairly accurately reproduced the temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibilities of (BDT-TTP)(5)[Ho(NO(3))(5)] in the experimental temperature range (2-300 K) and a comparatively large Weiss temperature (|THETAV;|) was obtained (THETAV;(Ho) = -15 K). A Weiss temperature (THETAV;(Tm) = -8 K) was also obtained for Tm. The |THETAV;| values of other (BDT-TTP)(5)[Ln(NO(3))(5)] salts and (BDT-TTP)(6)[Ce(NO(3))(6)](C(2)H(5)OH)x(x approximately 3) were as follows: |THETAV;|/K = 4 (Er), < or =2 (Ce, Tb, Dy, Yb). The comparatively strong intermolecular magnetic interaction between Ho(3+) ions, which was suggested by the |THETAV;| value, is inconsistent with the traditional image of strongly localized 4f orbitals shielded by the electrons in the outer 5s and 5p orbitals. The dipole interactions between Ln(3+) ions causing the Curie-Weiss behavior and the comparatively large THETAV; value of (BDT-TTP)(5)[Ho(NO(3))(5)] is inconsistent with the data, since the complexes exhibit isostructural properties and there is not a clear relationship between the magnitudes of THETAV; values and those of magnetic moments. Therefore, it is possible that the 4f orbitals of Ho atom are sensitive to the ligand field, which will have an effect on the orbital moment of the Ho(3+) ion and/or produce a small amount of mixing between 4f and ligand orbitals to give rise to "real" intermolecular antiferromagnetic interaction through intermolecular overlapping between pi (BDT-TTP) and ligand orbitals of lanthanide nitrate complex anions.

Synthesis,characterization and thermal behaviour of solid-state 3-methoxybenzoates of heavy trivalent lanthanides and yttrium(III)

Solid-state Ln(L)₃ compounds, where Ln stands for trivalent Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, Lu and Y, and L is 3-methoxybenzoate, have been synthesized. X-ray powder diffractometry, infrared spectroscopy, complexometry and elemental analysis were used to characterize the compounds. In order to study the thermal behaviour of these compounds simultaneous thermogravimetry and differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) were used. The results provided information on the composition, dehydration, polymorphic transformation, thermal stability and thermal decomposition of the synthesized compounds.     

Determination of ligand-field parameters and f-electronic structures of double-decker bis(phthalocyaninato)lanthanide complexes

The f-electronic structures of the ground states of anionic bis(phthalocyaninato)lanthanides, [Pc(2)Ln](-) (Pc = dianion of phthalocyanine, Ln = Tb(3+), Dy(3+), Ho(3+), Er(3+), Tm(3+), or Yb(3+)), are determined. Magnetic susceptibilities of the powder samples of [Pc(2)Ln]TBA (TBA = tetra-n-butylammonium cation) in the range 1.8-300 K showed characteristic temperature dependences which resulted from splittings of the ground-state multiplets. NMR signals for the two kinds of protons on the Pc rings at room temperature were shifted to lower frequency with respect to the diamagnetic Y complex in Ln = Tb, Dy, and Ho cases, and to higher frequency in Er, Tm, and Yb cases. The ratios of the paramagnetic shifts of the two positions were near constant in the six cases. This indicates that the shifts are predominantly caused by the magnetic dipolar term, which is determined by the anisotropy of the magnetic susceptibility of the lanthanide ion. Using a multidimensional nonlinear minimization algorithm, we determined a set of ligand-field parameters that reproduces both the NMR and the magnetic susceptibility data of the six complexes simultaneously. Each ligand-field parameter was assumed to be a linear function of atomic number of the lanthanide. The energies and wave functions of the sublevels of the multiplets are presented. Temperature dependences of anisotropies in the magnetic susceptibilities are theoretically predicted for the six complexes.     

CO activation on the late lanthanide dimers: matrix infrared spectra of the Ln2[eta2(mu2-C, O)]x (Ln = Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Lu; x = 1, 2) molecules

Reactions of laser-ablated late lanthanide atoms (Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, and Lu) with dilute carbon monoxide molecules in solid argon have been investigated using matrix-isolation infrared spectroscopy. The Ln2[eta2(mu2-C, O)]x (Ln = Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Lu; x = 1, 2) molecules are observed upon sample annealing, whereas no product is observed for Tm and Yb. The C-O stretching frequencies in these dilanthanide carbonyls range from 1100 to 1300 cm-1, far below the value of free CO in the gas phase (2143.5 cm-1), implying that the C-O bonds are highly activated. Density functional theory calculations have been performed on these products. These Ln2[eta2(mu2-C, O)]x molecules are predicted to have planar structures, which carry asymmetrically bridging CO moieties that are tilted to the side.     

Extraction of rare earths and scandium by 2-phosphorylphenoxyacetic acid amides in the presence of ionic liquids

The distribution of Y, La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, Lu, and Sc between aqueous solutions of their salts and solutions of 2-phosphorylphenoxy acid amides in dichloroethane containing an ionic liquid (1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis[(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl]imide) have been studied. Metal ion extraction has been found to increase considerably in the presence of this ionic liquid in the organic phase. The stoichiometries of extractable complexes have been determined. The influence of aqueous HNO₃ concentration and of the nature of extractant and ionic liquid on the efficiency of REE(III) and scandium(III) recovery to the organic phase has been considered.     

Experimental and Theoretical Studies on the Magnetic Anisotropy in Lanthanide(III)‐Centered Fe3Ln Propellers

Compounds [Fe₃Ln(tea)₂(dpm)₆] ( Fe₃Ln ; Ln= Tb–Yb, H₃tea=triethanolamine, Hdpm=dipivaloylmethane) were synthesized as lanthanide(III)‐centered variants of tetrairon(III) single‐molecule magnets (Fe₄) and isolated in crystalline form. Compounds with Ln=Tb–Tm are isomorphous and show crystallographic threefold symmetry. The coordination environment of the rare earth, given by two tea^3? ligands, can be described as a bicapped distorted trigonal prism with D₃ symmetry. Magnetic measurements showed the presence of weak ferromagnetic Fe ??? Ln interactions for derivatives with Tb, Dy, Ho, and Er, and of weak antiferromagnetic or negligible coupling in complexes with Tm and Yb. Alternating current susceptibility measurements showed simple paramagnetic behavior down to 1.8 K and for frequencies reaching 10000 Hz, despite the easy‐axis magnetic anisotropy found in Fe₃Dy , Fe₃Er , and Fe₃Tm by single‐crystal angle‐resolved magnetometry. Relativistic quantum chemistry calculations were performed on Fe₃Ln (Ln=Tb–Tm): the ground J multiplet of Ln³⁺ ion is split by the crystal field to give a ground singlet state for Tb and Tm, and a doublet for Dy, Ho, and Er with a large admixture of m_J states. Gyromagnetic factors result in no predominance of g_z component along the threefold axis, with comparable g_x and g_y values in all compounds. It follows that the environment provided by the tea^3? ligands, though uniaxial, is unsuitable to promote slow magnetic relaxation in Fe₃Ln species.
