Vibrational spectra of CH3GeH3 and CD3GeH3

Infrared gas phase spectra of CH₃GeH₃ and CD₃GeH₃ have been investigated at a resolution of 0.06 cm⁻¹ and Raman spectra obtained in the liquid phase at low resolution. Several reassignments of the fundamental frequencies are proposed. Q-branch maxima from the five naturally occurring Ge isotopes have been resolved in several of the fundamental vibrations and new values obtained of rotational and Coriolis coupling constants for ν₇, ν₈, ν₁₀ and ν₁₂ of CH₃GeH₃ and ν₇, ν₈, ν₉, ν₁₀ and ν₁₂ of CD₃GeH₃. Germanium isotopic frequency shifts on ν_GeC are also reported.

Mo₃CoB₃, Mo₃NiB₃, W₃CoB₃, and W₃NiB₃ were found to possess a new type of crystal structure (W₃CoB₃-structure type). Trigonal prismatic groups [T ₆B]^* are linked together forming chains in such a way that B₃-groups occur. These borides do probably exist with a larger amount of boron as to compared with the formula.

A comparison of local structures in crystalline P(EO)3LiCF3SO3 and glyme-LiCF3SO3 systems

The newly discovered crystal structures of CH₃(OCH₂CH₂)OCH₃(LiCF₃SO₃)₂, monoglyme:(LiTf)₂, and CH₃(OCH₂CH₂)₃OCH₃(LiCF₃SO₃)₂, triglyme:(LiTf)₂, are briefly described. The coordination of lithium cations and the CF₃SO₃⁻ anions in these structures is compared with the cation and anion coordination in the crystalline phase of high molecular weight P(EO)₃LiCF₃SO₃. Comparison is also made with the previously reported crystalline phase of CH₃(OCH₂CH₂)₂OCH₃LiCF₃SO₃, diglyme:LiTf. A tendency to form trans-gauche-trans conformations for the bond order -O-C-C-O- is noted in adjacent ethylene oxide sequences interacting with a five-coordinate lithium ion.     

Freezing the polarization of CH3NH3PbI3 and CH3NH3PbI3-xClx perovskite films

Thin films of methylammonium lead halides, CH₃NH₃PbI₃ and CH₃NH₃PbI_3-xCl_x, were deposited onto symmetrical microstructured electrode arrays of gold or platinum on Si/SiO₂ wafers. Polarization studies were carried out on perovskite films under vacuum in the dark. For poling, a constant voltage was applied to the samples while the temperature was cycled between 295 K and 4 K. The measured current densities depending on the temperature showed distinct characteristics relating strongly to the crystal phase and the dielectric properties of the perovskite films. Voltage sweeps were carried out at different scan rates at specific temperature intervals after poling. The polarization of the films due to the migration of iodide vacancies in direction of the blocking perovskite/metal interface was frozen almost up to room temperature. Charge carriers were only able to cross the blocking barrier and contribute to the current where the ions have accumulated during poling. All J-V curves showed hysteresis: inverted and regular hysteresis at room temperature and below, respectively. Inverted hysteresis originates from the slow accumulation of ions at the blocking barrier, while regular hysteresis arises from a distortion in the adjacent crystals which will be discussed.     

K3BiSe3, Rb3BiSe3 und Cs3BiSe3 – Substitutionsvarianten des Th3P4-Typs

K₃BiSe₃, Rb₃BiSe₃, and Cs₃BiSe₃ – Derivatives of the Th₃P₄ Structure Type The compounds K₃BiSe₃, Rb₃BiSe₃, and Cs₃BiSe₃ were synthesized by heating mixtures of Bi₂O₃ and the respective alkalicarbonate in a stream of hydrogen saturated by selenium at 850°C.

The Na₃AsS₃ structure type is a derivative of the Th₃P₄ structure type.     

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.     

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.

Die Perthioborate RbBS3, TIBS3 und TI3B3S10

The Perthioborates RbBS₃, TIBS₃, and Tl₃B₃S₁₀ . RbBS₃ (P2₁/c, a=7.082(2) Å, b=11.863(4) Å, c=5.794(2) Å, β=106.54(2)°) was prepared as colourless, plate-shaped crystals by reaction of stoichiometric amounts of rubidium sulfide, boron, and sulfur at 600°C and subsequent annealing. TlBS₃ (P2₁/c, a=6.874(3) Å, b=11.739(3) Å, c=5.775(2) Å, β=113.08(2)°) which is isotypic with RbBS₃ was synthesized from a sample of the composition Tl₂S · 2 B₂S₃. The glassy product which was obtained after 7 h at 850°C was annealed in a two zone furnace for 400 h at 400→350°C. Yellow crystals of TlBS₃ formed at the warmer side of the furnace. Tl₃B₃S₁₀ (P1 , a=6.828(2) Å, b=7.713(2) Å, c=13.769(5) Å, α=104.32(2)°, β=94.03(3)°, γ=94.69(2)°) was prepared as yellow plates from stoichiometric amounts of thallium sulfide, boron, and sulfur at 850°C and subsequent annealing. All compounds contain tetrahedrally coordinated boron. The crystal structures consist of polymeric anion chains. In the case of RbBS₃ and TlBS₃ nonplanar five-membered B₂S₃ rings are spirocyclically connected via the boron atoms. To obtain the anionic structure of Tl₃B₃S₁₀ every third B₂S₃ ring of the polymeric chains of MBS₃ is to be substituted by a six-membered B(S₂)₂B ring.     

3, 3, 3-Trifluoropropyl(methyl)cyclosiloxanes

The influence of the number of 3, 3, 3-trifluoropropyl(methyl)siloxane links (Φ/Φ) in the cyclotetrasiloxanes Φ_mD_4-m, where D represents the dimethylsiloxane link and m=0–4, on the rearrangement of these compounds in acetone solution under the action of sodium siloxanolate has been studied. The rearrangement takes place with the formation of a linear polysiloxane the degradation of which yields, in addition to the initial ring, cyclosiloxanes with a different structure. The rate of rearrangement of Φ_mD_4-m and of the formation of a linear polysiloxane rises with an increase in m from 0 to 3. The equilibrium concentration of the linear polysiloxane formed from Φ_mD_4-m is inversely proportional to m. Results have been obtained on the kinetics of the formation of the cyclosiloxanes Φ_mD_n, where m=0–5, n=0–5, and m+n=3–6, in the rearrangement of the rings ΦD₃, Φ₂D₂, Φ₃D, and Φ₄. The reactivity of the siloxane links rises in the sequence ～ (CH₃)₂Si-O-Si(CH₃)₂ ～<～ (CF₃CH₂CH₂)-(CH₃) Si-O-Si(CH₃)₂ ～<(CF₃CH₂CH₂) (CH₃)Si-O-Si(CH₃) (CH₂CH₂CF₃) ～. Because of the negative inductive effect transferred through the siloxane links, the 3, 3, 3-trifluoropropyl groups strongly activate the siloxane ring with respect to nucleophiiic reagents.     

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     

Vibrational spectra and normal co-ordinate analysis of CF3 compounds. Trimethyl(trifluoromethyl)silane,CF3Si(CH3)3 and CF3Si(CD3)3

The i.r. gas and Raman liquid spectra of CF₃Si(CH₃)₃ and CF₃Si(CD₃)₃ are reported and assigned for C_3vsymmetry. Force constants have been calculated by a combined analysis of both isotopomers yielding ƒ (SiCF₃) 2.63, ƒ (SiCH₃) 3.07 and ƒ (CF) 5.70 N cm⁻¹. The apparent weakness of the SiCF₃ bond confirms the results obtained on other CF₃ silanes and is discussed with respect to related molecules.     

3, 3, 3-Trifluoropropyl(methyl)cyclosiloxanes

The catalytic rearrangement of the cyclopentasiloxanes Φ_mD_5-m, where Φ represents a 3, 3, 3-trifluoropropyl(methyl)siloxane link and D a dimethylsiloxane link, and m=2–5 has been studied by the method described previously [1]. The rate of rearrangement and the rate of formation of a linear polysiloxane rise with an increase in m from 2 to 4. The equilibrium concentration of the linear polysiloxane formed from Φ_mD_5-m and from Φ_mD_4-m (m=0–4) [1] is inversely proportional to the molar fraction of Φ links in the ring and rises with an increase in the total concentration of siloxane links in solution. Results have been obtained on the kinetics of the formation of the cyclosiloxanes Φ_mD_n (where m=0–5, n=0–5, and m+n=3-6) during the rearrangement of the cyclopentasiloxanes Φ_mD_5-m. It has been established that at equilibrium a mixture of cyclosiloxanes Φ_mD_n containing practically constant ratios of tetramers, pentamers, and hexamers (m+n=4, 5, and 6) is obtained, regardless of the composition and structure of the initial cyclosiloxane and of the conditions of rearrangement (polymerization). The cyclopentasiloxanes Φ_mD_5-m are less active in the process of rearrangement than the cyclotetrasiloxanes Φ_mD_4-m. The activity of the cyclosiloxanes in rearrangement in the presence of a base rises in the sequence D₄?ΦD₃ ≈ Φ₂D₃<Φ₃D₂<Φ₄D < Φ₂D₂ < Φ₃D.

Crystal structure determination of complexes of monomethylammonium chloride and mercury(II) chloride: CH3NH3HgCl3, (CH3NH3)2HgCl4, and CH3NH3Hg2Cl5

The crystal structures have been determined of CH₃NH₃HgCl₃, (CH₃NH₃)₂HgCl₄, and CH₃NH₃Hg₂Cl₅. In (CH₃NH₃)₂HgCl₄ the Hg^II atom is tetrahedrally coordinated by four Cl atoms with Hg? Cl bond lengths of 2.464 to 2.478 Å. In the other two compounds the Hg^II atom is involved in two short covalent Hg? Cl bonds, forming a pseudo HgCl₂ molecule and two much longer bridging Hg? Cl bonds. The methylammonium groups are connected by hydrogen bonds to the chlorine atoms. The nature of the hydrogen bonding scheme probably causes disorder of the methylammonium groups.     

Dimethylarsenazid (CH3)2AsN3, Dimethylwismutazid (CH3)2BiN3 und Dimethylthalliumzid (CH3)2TiN3

The reaction of (CH₃)₂AsJ and AgN₃ yields (CH₃)₂AsN₃; a colourless liquid (b. p. 136°C) which dissolves as a monomeric in benzene. (CH₃)₂BiN₃ is precipitated in form of colourless needles (dec. temp. 150°C) from an etherical solution of Bi(CH₃)₃ and HN₃. According to its vibrational and mass spectra the molecules are not associated although the (CH₃)₂BiN₃ is not soluble; dipole association of this polar molecules is assumed for the crystal structure. (CH₃)₂TlN₃ can be obtained from TI(CH₃)₃ and ClN₃ as well as from (CH₃)₂TlOH and HN₃ in form of colourless needles and leaves (dec. temp. 245°C). According to its vibrational spectra it has an ionic structure, (CH₃? Tl? CH₃)⁺N^?₃.
