Three Sr²⁺ compounds with the Edta ⁴⁻ and H₂ Edta ²⁻ ligands—Sr₂(Edta) · 5H₂O (I), Sr₂(H₂ Edta)(HCO₃)₂ · 4H₂O (II), and Sr₂(H₂ Edta)Cl₂ · 5H₂O (III)—are synthesized, and their crystal structures are studied. In I, the Sr(1) atom is coordinated by the hexadentate Edta ⁴⁻ ligand following the 2N + 4O pattern and by two O atoms of the neighboring ligands, which affords the formation of zigzag chains. The Sr(2) atom forms bonds with O atoms of five water molecules and attaches itself to a chain via bonds with three O atoms of the Edta ⁴⁻ ligands. The Sr(1)-O and Sr(2)-O bond lengths fall in the ranges 2.520(2)–2.656(3) and 2.527(3)–2.683(2) ?, respectively. The Sr(1)-N bonds are 2.702(3) and 2.743(3) ? long.

In II, the environment of the Sr atom is formed by six O atoms of three H₂ Edta ligands, two O atoms of water molecules, and an O atom of the bicarbonate ion, which is disordered over two positions. In III, the environment of the Sr atom includes six O atoms of four H₂ Edta ²⁻ ligands and three O atoms of water molecules. The coordination number of the Sr atoms is equal to 8 + 1. In II and III, the main bonds fall in the ranges 2.534(3)–2.732(2) and 2.482(2)–2.746(3) ?, whereas the ninth bond is elongated to 2.937(3) and 3.055(3) ?, respectively. In II, all the structural elements are linked into wavy layers. The O-H…O interactions contribute to the stabilization of the layer and link neighboring layers. In III, hydrated Sr²⁺ cations and H₂ Edta ^– anions form a three-dimensional [Sr₂(H₂ Edta)(H₂O)₃] _n ²ⁿ⁺ framework. The Cl⁻ anions are fixed in channels of the framework by hydrogen bonds with four water molecules. In II and III, the N-H groups form four-center N-H…O₃ hydrogen bonds, which include one intermolecular and two intramolecular components. PACS numbers: 61.66.Hq Original Russian Text ? I.N.

Structure, thermal, and infrared analyses of [NH3(CH2)3NH3]2[Ni(HP2O7)2(H2O)2] ? 4H2O

[NH₃(CH₂)₃NH₃]₂[Ni(HP₂O₇)₂(H₂O)₂] 4H₂O (NiDAP) is a new diphosphate of transition metallic and organic cations obtained from a mixture of H₄P₂O₇, 2NiCO₃ Ni(OH)₂ 4H₂O and NH₂(CH₂)₃NH₂ in a 1:1/6:1 molar ratio. This mixed organo-mineral compound crystallizes in the triclinic system, P¯, with the unit cell dimensions: a = 7.3678(3)~Å, b = 7.8018(5)Å, c = 11.1958(7)Å, = 76.914(4), = 81.052(4), = 85.46(1), V = 618.57(6)ų and Z = 1. The crystal structure of NiDAP consists of a complex anion, [Ni(HP₂O₇)₂(H₂O)₂]^4– and a diammoniumpropane cation. The complex anion is built up from two neutral water molecules (OW1) and two diphosphosphoric anions coordinated to Ni(II) in a bidentate chelating manner. (OW1) molecules link anionic complexes, [Ni(HP₂O₇)₂(H₂O)₂]^4– to create a thick bidimensional layers parallel to the (a, b) plane. These layers are interconnected in three dimensions through hydrogen bonds established between organic cations, the remaining water molecules OW2, OW3, and some external oxygen atoms of the anionic complex arrays. NiDAP was also characterized by IR spectroscopy, TG-DTA, and DSC analyses.

Controlling metal–insulator transition in the hetero-epitaxial VO2/TiO2 bilayer grown on Al2O3

Hetero-epitaxial VO₂/TiO₂ bilayers were synthesized on Al₂O₃ substrates by using pulsed laser deposition, and their physical properties with the changes of oxygen pressure and the substrate orientation were investigated. A metal–insulator transition of the VO₂ was observed only in a narrow oxygen pressure range of 5–20 mTorr. As the oxygen pressure increased, X-ray diffraction peak for the (2 0 0)VO₂ shifted to a lower 2θ position, while the metal–insulator transition temperature (T_MI) decreased by ∼7 K. On the other hand, T_MI was largely varied with substrate orientation. The (2 0 0)VO₂/TiO₂ on the c-plane sapphire showed the highest T_MI of about 350 K, while the (0 0 2)VO₂/TiO₂ on the m-plane sapphire displayed the lowest T_MI of about 310 K. The (1 0 1)VO₂/TiO₂ on the r-plane and the a-plane exhibited T_MI∼340 and 330 K, respectively. The observed variations of T_MI with the oxygen pressure and substrate orientation were presumably due to the change in oxygen content of the VO₂ layer and/or in lattice strain.     

Infrared transmission of (R2O OR R’O)–(TiO2, Nb2O5 OR Ta2O5)-Al2O3 glasses

The new families of aluminate glasses obtained by the present authors from their melts in the systems K₂O–Ta₂O₅–Al₂O₃, Na₂O–K₂O–Ta₂O₅–Al₂O₃, K₂O –Cs₂O– Ta₂O₅–Al₂O₃, K₂O–Nb₂O₅–Al₂O₃, Na₂Oz.sbnd;K₂O–TiO₂–Al₂O₃, BaO–TiO₂–Al₂O₃, BaO–ZrO₂–TiO₂–Al₂O₃ and Na₂O–K₂O–BaO–ZrO₂–Ta₂O₅–TiO₂ –Al₂O₃ showed high transmissions of visible and infrared (IR) radiation ranging from 0.4 to about 6 μm, as well as high refractive indices up to 2.0. Their physical and chemical properties such as glass-forming ability, softening temperature, hardness and hygroscopicity were comparable to conventional silicate glasses. These properties are useful for IR applications. The cause of the high IR transmission of the aluminate glasses was interpreted in terms of the masses of the constituent cations and the single bond strengths of the cations with oxygen ions.     

Invar effect in n-Nb2O5, αht-Nb2O5, and L-Nb2O5

An X-ray diffraction analysis of two commercial sets of niobium pentaoxide (Nb₂O₅) of Nbo-Pt grade has been performed. Each set reveals the coexistence of three modifications: n-Nb₂O₅, α_ht-Nb₂O₅, and L-Nb₂O₅. Anomalous behavior in the structural characteristics, with the occurrence of plateaus upon heating (the invar effect), is established for each phase. It is suggested that the coincidence of the temperature ranges with constant unit-cell parameters in Nb₂O₅ and complex Nb-containing oxides indicates the unified nature of the invar effect, which is related to the defect state of objects under study.

Abstract  

The novel dimeric manganese-substituted polyoxotungstate Na₁₀[(α-B-ZnW₉O₃₄)₂W₂Mn₂(H₂O)₂](OH)₂·34H₂O (1) has been designed and synthesized from the hydrothermal reaction of Na₂WO₄·2H₂O, MnCl₂·4H₂O, and ZnCl₂ in a Teflon-lined stainless steel autoclave at 140°. X-ray diffraction analysis results reveal that compound (1) crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group P2(1)/n, with a = 13.0901(3) ?, b = 17.8242(4) ?, c = 21.2401(5) ?, β = 93.6380(10)°, Z = 1, V = 4945.8(2) ?³, F(000) = 5244, Dc = 3.974 g/cm⁻³, μ(Mo-Kα) = 2.4037 cm⁻¹, λ(Mo-Kα) = 0.71073 ?. The structure was refined to R = 0.0631 and wR = 0.1532. The polyoxoanion of [(α-B-ZnW₉O₃₄)₂W₂Mn₂(H₂O)₂]⁸⁻ consist of two Keggin lacunary α-B-ZnW₉O₃₄ ¹²⁻ moieties linked via a rhomblike W₂Mn₂O₁₆ group leading to a sandwich-type structure.     

Y2O3/ZrO2复合泡沫陶瓷烧结的初步研究

本文采用有机泡沫浸渍法制备了Y2O3/ZrO2双层复合、Y2O3/Y2O3-ZrO2/ZrO2三层复合及Y2O3和ZrO2单相泡沫陶瓷,分析了两种复合泡沫陶瓷层间的结合及各层显微结构随烧结温度的变化,并与单相氧化物陶瓷进行了对比。结果表明:双层复合陶瓷层间有较大缝隙,这是因为两种氧化物陶瓷烧结不同步造成的。三层复合陶瓷中Y2O3-ZrO2混合中间层的存在减弱了Y2O3、ZrO2烧结不同步引起的层间应力,层间结合明显改善,并大大减少了泡沫陶瓷表面宏观裂纹。两种复合陶瓷的ZrO2内层的烧结程度都低于单相ZrO2,这主要是因为先于ZrO2烧结的Y2O3外层阻碍了内部气体的排出从而阻碍ZrO2的烧结所致。     

Small polaron conduction in V2O5P2O5 glasses

Dc conductivity measurements have been made between 90 and 520 K on three bulk samples of V₂O₅P₂O₅ glass. Heat treatment is found to result in a reduction of the activation energy at a given temperature and this is most noticeable at low temperatures. The behaviour at low temperatures can be described using Mott's variable range hopping arguments, and at high temperatures by non-adiabatic small polaron hopping between nearest neighbours. At intermediate temperatures a simple model is used in which excitations by optical and acoustic phonons are considered to make independent contributions to the jump frequency. Mott's theory is extended to the polaron case for $\text{T>}\text{1}\text{4}\text{?}$ and is shown to be in good agreement with results. Values for $\text{r}{}_{\mathrm{<mtext>p</mtext>}}\text{(～2.8}\text{A}\text{?}\text{)}$ the polaron radius and $\text{α(～3.5}\text{A}\text{?}{}^{\mathrm{?1}}\text{)}$ the electron decay constant are shown to be consistent with the model for small polarons. A method is suggested for obtaining α and N(E_F) from the ac conductivity and the slope of 1nσ versus $\text{1}\text{T}{}^{\mathrm{<mtext>1</mtext><mtext>4</mtext>}}$ at low temperatures. Values of N(E) are obtained which correlate with those obtained by the previous analysis. This implies that the disorder energy separating adjacent sites Δ₀ is large (～0.4 eV) in these materials.     

Crystal Structure and Magnetic Properties of the Dinuclear MnII Compound [Mn2(bpy)4(2-ClC6H4COO)2](ClO4)2·2EtOH

Abstract  

The synthesis and crystal structure of the dinuclear manganese (II) compound [Mn₂(bpy)₄(2-ClC₆H₄COO)₂](ClO₄)₂·2EtOH is described. The complex crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group P2₁/n with a = 12.2067(18), b = 17.335(3), c = 13.706(3) ? and β = 92.606(8)°. In this structure, two manganese ions are bridged by two 2-chlorobenzoate ligands in a syn–anti mode. The hexa-coordination of each manganese is completed by two 2,2′-bipyridine ligands. Two perchlorate anions and two molecules of ethanol complete the packing. In order to check the magnetic properties previously reported from a powder sample, new magnetic studies have been carried out from a crystal sample, obtaining J = −1.79 cm⁻¹ and g = 2.00 (H = −JS ₁ ·S ₂ ).
