As main composition of mishmetals, the four pure light lanthanide elements La, Ce,Pr or Nd was used individually instead of Ml or Mm as RE in preparation of AB₅ typed hydrogen storage alloy RE(Ni,Co,Mn,Ti)₅. The four alloys, La(Ni,Co₅Mn,Ti)₅, Ce(Ni,Co>ln,Ti)₅, Pr(Ni,Co,Mn,Ti)₅ and Nd(Ni,Co,Mn,Ti)₅ were then tested, characterized and compared in the their cell volumes (V_cell), P-C-T curves, and mainly electrochemical characteristics against charge/discharge cycles, including the activation cycle number (n_a),the maximum discharge opacity at 50 mA/g charge/discharge rate (C_50,max), the high-rate-dischargeability and the rate of decay (-dC/dn). These properties are compared and analyzed to reveal the difference of the effects of each element on the electrochemical properties of rare earth based AB₅ typed hydrogen storage alloy.

Ternary rare-earth manganese bismuthides: structures and physical properties of RE(3)MnBi(5) (RE = La-Nd) and Sm(2)Mn(3)Bi(6)

Investigations in the ternary RE-Mn-Bi systems where RE is an early rare earth element have revealed the existence of the polybismuthides RE3MnBi5 (RE = La-Nd), previously known only for the Ce member, and the new compound Sm2Mn3Bi6. Their structures were determined from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. The RE3MnBi5 compounds adopt the hexagonal inverse Hf5Cu3Sn-type structure (Pearson symbol hP18, space group P63/mcm, a = 9.7139(11)-9.5438(16) A, c = 6.4883(7)-6.4089(11) A for RE = La-Nd), containing chains of face-sharing Mn-centered octahedra. Sm2Mn3Bi6 adopts a new monoclinic structure type (Pearson symbol mP22, space group P21/m, a = 10.3917(8) A, b = 4.4557(3) A, c = 13.2793(10) A, beta = 108.0100(10) degrees ) in which the Mn centers are coordinated by Bi atoms in diverse geometries (distorted octahedral, trigonal bipyramidal, and distorted tetrahedral (seesaw)) and participate in extensive metal-metal bonding in the form of chains of Mn3 clusters. Homoatomic bonding interactions involving nominally anionic Bi atoms are manifested as one-dimensional Bi chains in RE3MnBi5 and as four-atom-wide Bi ribbons in Sm2Mn3Bi6. Electrical resistivity measurements on single crystals revealed metallic behavior with prominent transitions near 40 K for RE3MnBi5 and 50 K for Sm2Mn3Bi6. Magnetic susceptibility measurements showed that Pr3MnBi5 undergoes magnetic ordering near 25 K.

Preparation, thermal stability and luminescence properties of selected rare earth oxycarbonates

A comparative TG and DTG study of the preparation and thermal stability of selected rare earth oxycarbonates, (REO)₂CO₃ (RE = La and Gd), shows that the ease of formation as well as the stability of these compounds decreases strongly with increasing atomic number of the host cation. According to X-ray powder diffraction analyses, the RE oxycarbonates obtained as decomposition products of acetate and carbonate hydrates belong to the tetragonal IA-type. UV- and dye laser-excited luminescence studies of Eu³⁺-doped (LaO)₂CO₃ and (GdO)₂CO₃ reveal the presence of two different sites for the host cation. One of the sites resembles closely that prevailing in the tetragonal RE oxysalts, i.e. oxyhalides, oxysulphates, oxymolybdates and oxynitrates. A crystal field analysis carried out on the ⁷F₁ and ⁷F₂ level schemes according to a C_2v site symmetry confirms this hypothesis.     

(Dimethylaminoethyl)cyclopentadienyl-liganden in der chemie von gruppe-13-elementen (Al, Ga, In

The synthesis of cyclopentadienyl complexes containing polydentate C₅R₄(CH₂CH₂NMe₂) ligands (R = H, Me) and Group 13 elements (Al, Ga, In) is described. The compounds (C₅Me₄CH₂CH₂NMe₂) AlX₂ (X = Me, Cl, Br, I), (C₅Me₄CH₂CH₂NMe₂)MCl ₂ (M = Ga, In), (C₅H₄CH₂CH₂NMe₂)AlX₂ (X = H, Me, Et, Cl), (C₅H₄CH_2- CH₂NMe₂)GaCl₂,and (C₅H₄CH₂CH₂NMe₂)InMe₂ are obtained by three different procedures. All compounds that have been characterized, so far, by X-ray diffraction studies show an additional intramolecular coordination of the nitrogen atom in the side chain. Monomeric structures and sufficient volatilities make them potential candidates for MOCVD processes.     

Large-scale synthesis of single-crystalline RE2O3 (RE=Y, Dy, Ho, Er) nanobelts by a solid-liquid-phase chemical route

Yttrium-group heavy rare-earth sesquioxide (RE(2)O(3), RE=Y, Dy, Ho, Er) nanobelts were successfully fabricated by thermolysis of solid RE(NO(3))(3)x H(2)O in a dodecylamine/1-octadecene mixed solvent system. The synthetic principle is based on separating the nucleation and growth processes by utilizing the poor solubility of RE(NO(3))(3)chi H(2)O in the solvent mixture and the heat-transportation difference between the liquid and solid. By using dodecylamine, RE(2)O(3) nanobelts can be readily obtained. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis shows that the synthesized RE(2)O(3) nanobelts are body-centered cubic and crystalline. Field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), selective-area electron diffraction (SAED), and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM) demonstrate that the synthesized RE(2)O(3) compounds possess regular geometric structure (beltlike) with perfect crystallinity. Preliminary experimental results prove that the dodecylamine plays a key role in the formation of RE(2)O(3) nanobelts and cannot be replaced by other surfactants. Furthermore, this method can be extended to the synthesis of RE(2)O(3) nanobelt/metal nanocrystal nanocomposites and ABO(3) (A=Y, Dy, Ho, Er; B=Al) and A(3)B(5)O(12) (A=Y, Dy, Ho, Er; B=Al)-type ternary oxide nanobelts, using mixed-metal nitrate salts in the correct stoichiometry instead of single rare-earth nitrates.     

Mesogenic behaviour of (4-alkoxybenzylideneamino)bromobenzene, (4-alkoxybenzylideneamino)benzenethiols, and thiolatonickel complexes of the thiols

The synthesis, characterization and mesogenic properties of Schiff base compounds arising from the reaction of 4-alkoxybenzaldehydes with 4-aminothiophenol or 4-bromoaniline are described. Whereas the Schiff base thiol with two benzene rings in the molecule, HSC₆H₄NC(H)C₆H₄OC₁₆H₃₃ (2), is non-mesogenic, the bromo analogue, BrC₆H₄NC(H)C₆H₄OC₁₆H₃₃ (3), is mesogenic. The introduction of a third benzene ring into the molecular architecture of 2 and 3 produced thiol- and bromo-Schiff base compounds, HSC₆H₄NC(H)C₆H₄OC(O)C₆H₄OC₁₆H₃₃ and BrC₆H₄NC(H)C₆H₄OC(O)C₆H₄OC₁₆H₃₃, respectively, that are both mesogenic. The thiol compounds react with nickelocene to form [(η ⁵-C₅H₅)Ni(μ ₂-SC₆H₄NC(H)C₆H₄OC₁₆H₃₃)]₂ and [(η ⁵-C₅H₅)Ni(μ ₂-SC₆H₄NC(H)C₆H₄OC(O)-C₆H₄OC₁₆H₃₃)]₂, but the nickel complexes are not mesogenic.     

STUDIES ON COMPLEXES OF RARE EARTHS WITH CROWN ETHERS(Ⅳ)SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF THE COMPLEXES OF RARE EARTH NITRATES WITH 4''''-BROMO-5''''-NITROBENZO-15-CROWN-5

Structure and physical properties of ternary rare-earth cobalt bismuth intermetallics (RE)12Co5Bi (RE = Y, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm)

The rare-earth intermetallic compounds (RE)12Co5Bi (RE = Y, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm) were prepared by arc-melting and annealing at 600 degrees C. These compounds extend the previously known (RE)6M2+xX1-x (M = Co, Ni; X = Ga, In, Sn, Pb) series with the Ho6Co2Ga-type structure to X = Bi. The crystal structure of Ho12Co5Bi was refined by the Rietveld method from powder X-ray diffraction data obtained using synchrotron radiation (Pearson symbol oI36, orthorhombic, space group Immm, Z = 2, a = 9.37598(14) A, b = 9.37871(14) A, c = 9.85465(13) A). Unlike other Ho6Co2Ga-type compounds, the 2a site in Ho12Co5Bi is exclusively occupied by Co atoms. Four-probe electrical resistivity measurements on sintered polycrystalline samples of (RE)12Co5Bi indicated metallic behavior. Magnetic measurements revealed behavior ranging from frequency-dependent maxima in the ac susceptibility for Y12Co5Bi to possible ferrimagnetic ordering for Gd12Co5Bi to antiferromagnetic ordering with metamagnetic transitions for the remaining compounds. As confirmed by band structure calculations using Y12Co5Bi as a model compound, Y-Y and Y-Co interactions are the most important bonding components, but matrix effects are likely responsible for anomalously short Co-Co contacts in the structure.     

Ternary rare-earth titanium antimonides RE2Ti(11-x)Sb(14+x) (RE = Sm, Gd, Tb, Yb)

The isostructural rare-earth titanium antimonides RE 2Ti 11 - x Sb 14 + x ( RE = Sm, Gd, Tb, Yb) have been synthesized by arc-melting reactions of the elements. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction revealed that they adopt a new structure type (Pearson symbol oP54, space group Pnma, Z = 2; a = 15.8865(6)-15.9529(9) A, b = 5.7164(2)-5.7135(3) A, c = 12.9244(5)-12.9442(7) A for RE = Sm-Yb). The structure consists of titanium-centered octahedra (CN6) and pentagonal bipyramids (CN7) connected to form a 3D framework whose cavities are filled with RE atoms. 1D linear skewers of titanium atoms, within face-sharing octahedral chains, and similar skewers of antimony atoms, associated with the titanium-centered pentagonal bipyramids, extend along the b direction. On proceeding from Sm 2Ti 11Sb 14 to Tb 2Ti 10.41(1)Sb 14.59(1) and Yb 2Ti 10.58(1)Sb 14.42(1), antimony atoms are disordered within some of the titanium sites. Resistivity measurements on the samarium and ytterbium members indicated metallic behavior.
