基于链状SemSn(2≤m+n≤4)小分子的硒硫碳复合正极材料的制备及其电化学性能

将Se固溶复合到链状小硫分子S_2~4中,利用超微孔碳(UMC)的空间限域效应,在UMC中成功构建了链状Se_mS_n(2≤m+n≤4)小分子,并用作锂硫(Li-S)电池正极材料。与链状S_2~4小分子相比,改性后的Se_mS_n(2≤m+n≤4)小分子电导率更高,锂化能更低,放电锂化过程更容易。所制得的UMC/Se_mS_n(2≤m+n≤4)复合正极材料的放电过程为一步固相转化反应,从而有效抑制了活性物质的穿梭流失。与UMC/S_2~4复合正极材料相比,UMC/Se_mS_n(2≤m+n≤4)复合正极材料的电荷传递阻抗更小,放电比容量更高。因此,UMC/Se_mS_n-40(2≤m+n≤4,w_SeS2∶w_UMC=4∶6)复合正极材料在0.1C时循环100次后,比容量依然保持有844 mAh·g^-1;在0.5C下长时间循环500次时,每次循环容量损失仅约为0.07%,表现出优异的循环稳定性。

Y2Rh3Ge, a rhombohedral substitution variant of the MgCu2 type

The structure of Y₂Rh₃Ge has been determined and refined from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data (R = 0.042). It is a rhombohedral, ternary, ordered variant of the cubic Laves structure type MgCu₂, with space group and c = 11.82(1)Å for the triple hexagonal cell. The c/a ratio (2.13) is significantly lower than the value for the triple hexagonal cell of the cubic lattice of the parent structure type (2.45), resulting in shorter distances between Rh and Ge atoms than between Rh atoms. The isotypy of Pr₂Rh₃Si, Er₂Rh₃Si, Pr₂Rh₃Ge, and Er₂Rh₃Ge has been established from Guinier films. The Y₂Rh₃Ge structure is compared with the binary compound YRh₂, crystallizing with the MgCu₂ structure, and with three other simple, ternary, ordered substitution derivatives of the Laves phase types MgZn₂ and MgCu₂.     

Darstellung und Schwingungsspektren von Chloro-Bromo-Dirhodaten(III), [Rh2ClnBr9−n]3−, n = 0–9

Preparation and Vibrational Spectra of Nonahalogenodirhodates(III), [Rh₂Cl_nBr_9-n]^3?, n = 0–9 The pure nonahalogenodirhodates(III), A₃[Rh₂Cl_nBr_9-n], A = K, Cs, (TBA); n = 0–4, 9, have been prepared. They are formed from the monomer chlorobromorhodates(III), [RhCl_nBr_6-n]^3?, n = 0–6, which are bridged to confacial bioctahedral complexes by ligand abstraction in less polar organic solvents. From the mixtures the complexions are separated by ion exchange chromatography on DEAE-cellulose. The solid, air-stable, air-stable, K-, Cs- and (TBA)-salts of [Rh₂Cl_nBr_9-n]^3?, n = 0–4, are green, of [Rh₂Cl₉]^3? are brown. The IR and Raman spectra of [Rh₂Br₉]^3? and [Rh₂Cl₉]^3? are assigned according to the point group D_3h. The chlorobromodirhodates exist as mixtures of geometrical and structural isomers, which belong to different point groups. The vibrational spectra exhibit bands in characteristic regions; at high wavenumbers stretching vibrations with terminal ligands v(Rh—Cl_t): 360–320, v(Rh—Br_t): 280–250; in a middle region with bridging ligands v(Rh—Cl_b): 300–270, v(Rh—Br_b): 210–170 cm^?1; the deformation bands are observed at distinct lower frequencies. The terminal ligands are fixed very strong, and the distance between v(Rh—X_t) and v(Rh—X_b) increases with decreasing size of the cations.     

A pyrazine bis‐adduct of a binuclear rhodium(II) carboxylate containing 3,4,5‐triethoxybenzoate as the ­equatorial ligand

The title compound, tetrakis(μ‐3,4,5‐triethoxy­benzoato‐κ²O:O′)­bis­[(pyrazine‐κN)­rhodium(II)](Rh—Rh), [Rh₂(C₁₃H₁₇O₅)₄(C₄H₄N₂)₂], crystallizes on an inversion centre in the triclinic space group . The equatorial carboxyl­ate ligands bridge the two Rh^II atoms, giving a binuclear lantern‐like structure. The pyrazine mol­ecules occupy the two axial coordination sites. The phenyl rings are tilted by ca 10° with respect to the attached carboxyl­ate groups. The pyrazine planes have a torsion angle of ca 19° around the Rh—N bond with respect to the plane of the nearer carboxyl­ate group and are not coplanar with the Rh—Rh bond.     

Pyrochlore formation, phase relations, and properties in the CaO-TiO2-(Nb,Ta)2O5 systems

Phase equilibria studies of the CaO:TiO₂:Nb₂O₅ system confirmed the formation of six ternary phases: pyrochlore (A₂B₂O₆O′), and five members of the (110) perovskite-slab series Ca_n(Ti,Nb)_nO_3n+2, with n=4.5, 5, 6, 7, and 8. Relations in the quasibinary Ca₂Nb₂O₇−CaTiO₃ system, which contains the Ca_n(Ti,Nb)_nO_3n+2 phases, were determined in detail. CaTiO₃ forms solid solutions with Ca₂Nb₂O₇ as well as CaNb₂O₆, resulting in a triangular single-phase perovskite region with corners CaTiO₃-70Ca₂Ti₂O₆:30Ca₂Nb₂O₇-80CaTiO₃:20CaNb₂O₆. A pyrochlore solid solution forms approximately along a line from 42.7:42.7:14.6 to 42.2:40.8:17.0 CaO:TiO₂:Nb₂O₅, suggesting formulas ranging from Ca_1.48Ti_1.48Nb_1.02O₇ to Ca_1.41Ti_1.37Nb_1.14O₇ (assuming filled oxygen sites), respectively. Several compositions in the CaO:TiO₂:Ta₂O₅ system were equilibrated to check its similarity to the niobia system in the pyrochlore region, which was confirmed. Structural refinements of the pyrochlores Ca_1.46Ti_1.38Nb_1.11O₇ and Ca_1.51Ti_1.32V_0.04Ta_1.10O₇ using single-crystal X-ray diffraction data are reported (Fd3m (#227), a=10.2301(2) Å (Nb), a=10.2383(2) Å (Ta)), with Ti mixing on the A-type Ca sites as well as the octahedral B-type sites. Identical displacive disorder was found for the niobate and tantalate pyrochlores: Ca occupies the ideal 16d position, but Ti is displaced 0.7 Å to partially occupy a ring of six 96g sites, thereby reducing its coordination number from eight to five (distorted trigonal bipyramidal). The O′ oxygens in both pyrochlores were displaced 0.48 Å from the ideal 8b position to a tetrahedral cluster of 32e sites. The refinement results also suggested that some of the Ti in the A-type positions may occupy distorted tetrahedra, as observed in some zirconolite-type phases. The Ca-Ti-(Nb,Ta)-O pyrochlores both exhibited dielectric relaxation similar to that observed for some Bi-containing pyrochlores, which also exhibit displacively disordered crystal structures. Observation of dielectric relaxation in the Ca-Ti-(Nb,Ta)-O pyrochlores suggests that it arises from the displacive disorder and not from the presence of polarizable lone-pair cations such as Bi³⁺.     

New Bimetallic Ni–Rh Carbonyl Clusters: Synthesis and X-ray Structure of the [Ni7Rh3(CO)18]3?, [Ni3Rh3(CO)13]3? and [NiRh8(CO)19]2? Cluster Anions

The reaction of the [Ni₆(CO)₁₂]²⁻ dianion with [Rh(COD)Cl]₂ (COD = cyclooctadiene) in acetone affords a mixture of bimetallic Ni–Rh clusters, mainly consisting of the new [Ni₇Rh₃(CO)₁₈]³⁻ and [Ni₈Rh(CO)₁₈]³⁻ trianions. A study of the reactivity of [Ni₇Rh₃(CO)₁₈]³⁻ led to isolation of the new [Ni₃Rh₃(CO)₁₃]³⁻ and [NiRh₈(CO)₁₉]²⁻ anions. All these new bimetallic Ni–Rh carbonyl clusters have been isolated in the solid state as tetrasubstituted ammonium salts and have been characterised by elemental analysis, X-ray diffraction studies, ESI-MS and electrochemistry. The unit cell of the [NEt₄]₃[Ni₇Rh₃(CO)₁₈] salt contains two orientationally-disordered ν₂-tetrahedral [Ni₇Rh₃(CO)₁₈]³⁻ trianions with occupancy factors of 0.75 and 0.25. Besides, their inner Ni₃Rh₃ octahedral moieties show two cis sites purely occupied by Rh atoms, two trans sites purely occupied by Ni atoms and the remaining two cis sites are disordered Ni and Rh sites with respective occupancy fraction of 0.5. At difference from the parent [Ni₇Rh₃(CO)₁₈]³⁻, the octahedral [Ni₃Rh₃(CO)₁₃]³⁻ displays an ordered distribution of Ni and Rh atoms in two staggered triangles. The [NiRh₈(CO)₁₉]²⁻ dianion adopts an isomeric metal frame with respect to that of the [PtRh₈(CO)₁₉]²⁻ congener. As a fallout of this work, new high-yield synthesis of the known [Ni₆Rh₃(CO)₁₇]³⁻ and [Ni₆Rh₅(CO)₂₁]³⁻, as well as other currently-investigated bimetallic Ni–Rh clusters have been obtained.     

Structural,Magnetic and Optical Properties of BiFe1-xNbxO3

Nb doped multiferroic BiFe_1-xNb_xO₃ (0 <x <0.05) polycrystalline powders have been syn-thesized by using a sol-gel method. The effect of Nb dopant on the structural, magnetic and optical properties is investigated. According to the X-ray di raction data and the result of Rietveld re nement, all the samples maintain the R3c phase, while the lattice parameters a, c, the cell volume V and the Fe-O-Fe bond angle change. The remnant magnetization enhances by appropriate Nb doping due to the decreasing of the grain size. Meanwhile, Nb dopant leads to the narrowing of the band gap of BiFe_1-xNb_xO₃ samples.     

Syntheses and Structure of Gd3Rh1.940(7)In4

The gadolinium–rhodium–indide Gd₃Rh_1.940(7)In₄ was prepared by arc-melting of the elements and subsequent annealing in a corundum crucible in a sealed silica tube. Gd₃Rh_1.940(7)In₄ adopts the hexagonal Lu₃Co_1.87In₄ type, space group P[`6]P{\bar 6} , a = 781.4(5), c = 383.8(3) pm, wR2 = 0.0285, BASF = 0.375(1) (merohedric twinning via a twofold axis (xx0)), 648 F<sup>2</sup> values, 22 variables. The structure is derived from the well known ZrNiAl type through an ordering of rhodium and indium atoms on the Ni2 sites. The Rh/In ordering forces a reduction of the space group symmetry from P[`6]62mP{\bar 6}62m to P[`6]P{\bar 6} , leading to merohedric twinning for the investigated crystal. The Rh1 site has an occupancy of only 94.0(7)%. The investigated crystal had a composition Gd₃Rh_1.940(7)In₄. The main geometrical motif are three types of centered, tricapped trigonal prisms, i.e., [Rh1In2₆Gd₃], [Rh2Gd₆In2₃], and [In1Gd₆In2₃]. The shortest interatomic distances occur for Rh–In (276–296 pm) followed by In–In (297 pm). Together, the rhodium and indium atoms build up a three-dimensional [Rh_1.940(7)In₄] network, in which the gadolinium atoms fill slightly distorted pentagonal channels. The crystal chemistry of Gd₃Rh_1.940(7)In₄ is discussed on the basis of a group-subgroup scheme.     

Niobium Thiobromide, Nb3SBr7, with Triangle Nb3 Cluster: Structure and Bonding

The reaction of Nb, S, and Br₂ in a sealed quartz ampoule at 550°C yielded Nb₃SBr₇. The structure of Nb₃SBr₇ determined by the single-crystal X-ray diffraction method (P3m1, a= 7.1012(6) Å, c = 6.3040(9) Å, V = 275.30(9) ų, Z = 1, d_calc = 5.248(2) g/cm³, R = 0.0395, R_w = 0.0392) consists of one-layer packing of {[Nb₃SBr₃]Br_6/2Br_3/3}²_∞ layers. The molecular orbitals of the model anions [Nb₃Br₁₃]^5- and [Nb₃SBr₁₂]^5-, which involve the triangle Nb₃ cluster with the nearest ligand environment in the structures of Nb₃Br₈ and Nb₃SBr₇, respectively, were calculated by applying the extended Hückel method. The HOMO in [Nb₃Br₁₃]^5- has slightly metal-metal bonding character which is consistent with an Nb-Nb bond length increase from 2.88 Å in a seven-electron Nb₃Br₈ to 2.896(1) Å in a six-electron Nb₃SBr₇. The bonding schemes are in accordance with magnetic properties of Nb₃Br₈, which is paramagnetic, and Nb₃SBr₇, which is diamagnetic.     

Catalytic hydrogenation of 1,3-trans-pentadiene over Rh4(CO)12 supported on γ-Al2O3

Rh₄(CO)₁₂ anchored on γ-Al₂O₃ (Rh₄(CO)₁₂/Al₂O₃) has been studied as a catalyst for the hydrogenation of 1,3-trans-pentadiene. Under mild conditions (1 atm H₂ and temperatures between 60°C and 80°C) hydrogenation occurs at only one of the double bonds of the diene, and analysis of the products shows that the terminal double bond is preferentially hydrogenated. Hydrogenation of the second double bond of the conjugated diene occurring only after all the 1,3-trans-pentadiene has been consumed. In this respect Rh₄(CO)₁₂/Al₂O₃ behaves like toluene solutions of Rh₄(CO)₁₂. Anchoring of Rh₄(CO)₁₂ on the solid support gives a catalyst which is less active but more stable than toluene solutions of Rh₄(CO)₁₂. The effects of CO and of triphenylphosphine on catalytic activity and on specificity of Rh₄(CO)₁₂/Al₂O₃ have also been investigated and both shown to cause a reduction of the rate of hydrogenation of 1,3-trans-pentadiene.     

Slater-Pauling behavior within quaternary intermetallic borides of the Ti3Co5B2 structure-type

First-principles, density-functional studies of several intermetallic borides of the general type M₂M′Ru_5−nRh_nB₂ (n=0-5; M=Sc, Ti, Nb; M′=Fe, Co) show that the variation in saturation magnetic moment with valence-electron count follows a Slater-Pauling curve, with a maximum moment occurring typically at 66 valence electrons. The magnetic moments in these compounds occur primarily from the 3d electrons of the magnetically active M′ sites, with some contribution from the Ru/Rh sites via magnetic polarization. Electronic DOS curves reveal that a rigid-band approach is a reasonable approximation for the estimation of saturation moments and the analysis of orbital interactions in this family of complex borides. COHP analyses of the M′−M′ orbital interactions indicate optimized interactions in the minority spin states for Co-containing phases, but strong bonding interactions remaining in Fe-containing phases.
