Structure and bonding in Yb4MgGe4: Yb2+/Yb3+ mixed-valency and charge separation

Reported are the synthesis and the structural characterization of a new derivative of the RE5Tt4 family (RE = Rare-earth; Tt = Tetrel, = Si, Ge, i.e., group 14 element), Yb5-xMgxGe4 (x approximately 1). Crystal data for Yb4.04(1)Mg0.96(1)Ge4 at 23 degrees C: orthorhombic, space group Pnma (No. 62), Z = 4; a = 7.155(2) A, b = 14.769(5) A, c = 7.688(2) A; V = 812.5(4) A3. This phase is an example of a substitution of lanthanide metal (Yb) with a nonmagnetic element (Mg) within this structure type. Its structure can alternatively be described as an intergrowth of the hypothetical Yb2MgGe2, which features flat infinite [MgGe2]4- layers and the hypothetical YbGe with [Ge2]6- dimers. The flat [MgGe2]4- layers propagate in two dimensions (a and c), and they are offset by a distance of 1/4.a with respect to one another and are interspaced with layers of [Ge2]6- dimers and Yb cations filling the space between them. According to the structural and physical property data, Yb4MgGe4 is a heterogeneous mixed-valent compound, i.e. a system where one of the two symmetry-inequivalent Yb sites has atoms in closed-shell Yb2+ configuration, whereas the Yb3+ cations occupy a different crystallographic site.

Isotropic magnetic exchange between anisotropic Yb(III) ions. Study of Cs3Yb2Cl9 and Cs3Yb2Br9 crystals

Despite the prevalent belief about a strong anisotropy of the magnetic exchange in rare-earth compounds, Cs3Yb2Cl9 and Cs3Yb2Br9 crystals are found to exhibit fully isotropic exchange coupling between Yb3+ ions. In this article, we attempt to reveal the physical origin of this surprising feature. Our theoretical consideration is based on a model of the kinetic exchange between two octahedrally coordinated Yb3+ ions in their ground Kramers doublet states. It is shown that a mechanism of kinetic exchange involving intercenter electron hopping between 4f orbitals of two Yb3+ ions in a face-shared binuclear unit results in fully isotropic antiferromagnetic exchange coupling, while a mechanism in which the electron jumps from the 4f to the 5d orbital gives rise to a highly anisotropic interaction. Comparison of these results with the experimental data along with qualitative arguments regarding the relative significance of these two contributions to the overall exchange indicate that, in face-shared Yb3+ binuclear units, the 4f <--> 4f mechanism plays a dominant role.     

Synthesis and Structures of Yb4Rh7Ge6 and Yb4Ir7Ge6

Larger single crystals of Yb₄Rh₇Ge₆ and Yb₄Ir₇Ge₆ were prepared from arc‐melted precursor alloys Rh₇Ge₆ and Ir₇Ge₆ and elemental ytterbium via the Bridgman method using tungsten crucibles. Yb₄Rh₇Ge₆ and Yb₄Ir₇Ge₆ were investigated by X‐ray diffraction on powders and single crystals. Both germanides crystallize with the cubic U₄Re₇Si₆ type structure, space group Im3m. Structure refinement from X‐ray single crystal diffractometer data yielded a = 825.3(1) pm, wR2 = 0.0292, 106 F² values, 10 variable parameters for Yb₄Rh₇Ge₆ and a = 826.6(2) pm, wR2 = 0.0486, 150 F² values, 10 variable parameters for Yb₄Ir₇Ge₆. The structures contain two crystallographically independent transition metal (T) atoms with octahedral (T1) and tetrahedral (T2) germanium coordination. The octahedra and tetrahedra are condensed via common corners and edges forming complex three‐dimensional [T₇Ge₆] networks in which the trivalent ytterbium atoms fill voids of coordination number 14.     

Effects of Yb concentration on the spectroscopic properties of Yb: Y3Al5O12

Yb:YAG single crystals with Yb doping concentration 5.4, 16.3, 27.1, 53.6, and 100 at.% were grown by the Czochralski process. The effects of Yb concentration on the absorption spectra (190-1100 nm), fluorescence spectra under 940 nm and X-ray excitation were studied. The concentration quenching of fluorescence was observed when the Yb doping concentration reaches to as high as 27.1at.% for Yb:YAG. Under 940 nm excitation, the influence of the self-absorption at 969 and 1029 nm on the fluorescence spectra is not evident when the Yb doping concentration is as high as 27.1at.%. However, it can greatly change the shape of fluorescence spectra of Yb:YAG when the Yb doping concentration reaches to above 53.6 at.%.     

Yb3AuGe2In3: an ordered variant of the YbAuIn structure exhibiting mixed-valent Yb behavior

Yb(3)AuGe(2)In(3) was obtained as large single crystals in high yield from reactions run in liquid indium. Single crystal X-ray diffraction data show that Yb(3)AuGe(2)In(3) is an ordered variant of YbAuIn with lattice constants, a = b = 7.3153(8) ? and c = 4.4210(5) ?, and space group P(6)2m. The parent compound YbAuIn was also studied for comparison. YbAuIn crystallizes in the ZrNiAl structure type, hexagonal, P(6)2m space group with lattice parameters a = b = 7.7127(11) ? and c = 4.0294(8) ?. In Yb(3)AuGe(2)In(3), Ge substitutes for one of the two Au positions in the ternary compound Yb(3)Au(3)In(3). The structure can be described as alternating [Ge(2)In(3)] and [Yb(3)Au] slabs that stack along the c-axis. The magnetic susceptibility data follow a modified Curie-Weiss law. The effective magnetic moment μ(eff) of 0.52 μ(B)/Yb atom was deduced from the Curie constant and Curie-Weiss constant of θ(p) = -1.5 K indicating antiferromagnetic interactions in Yb(3)AuGe(2)In(3). X-ray absorption near edge spectroscopy (XANES) measurements indicate intermediate valency for Yb in both compounds. The metallic nature of both compounds was confirmed by the resistivity measurements. Specific heat data for Yb(3)AuGe(2)In(3) and YbAuIn give an electronic γ term of 31 and 84 mJ/mol·K(2), respectively, suggesting that the ternary analog is a "light" heavy fermion compound.
