Novel tailormade Bi4MO4(PO4)2 structural type (M = Mg, Zn)

In the Bi(2)O(3)-MO-P(2)O(5) ternary system, the commonly observed sizable 1D ribbon-like units have been extended to their 2D infinite end member, leading to the novel tailormade Bi(4)MO(4)(PO(4))(2) compounds. It contains planar [Bi(2)O(2)](2+) derivatives, separated by two slabs of PO(4), which create channels hosting the M(2+) cations (M = Mg, Zn). For both compounds, supercell orderings occur comparatively to the predicted ideal crystal structure (V(Mg) = 2V(ideal) and V(Zn) = 8V(ideal)). In the Mg case a transition into the ideal lattice occurs above 450 °C. In spite of the conceptual assembly of 2D motifs, the final architecture is three-dimensional due to strong interbonds. Thus, our work gives new insights on the possibility for versatile organization of original secondary building units (SBUs) able to self-assemble into predicted structural edifices. Single-crystal and powder XRD versus temperature, high-temperature (31)P NMR, as well as transmission electron microscopy were used for structural characterization. Preliminary electric characterization is also reported.     

CdGa2S4-MGa2S4 (M = Zn and Mg) systems

A phase microdiagram of the system CdS-Ga₂S₃ in the CdGa₂S₃ homogeneous region was constructed, and the composition corresponding to congruent melting was determined (Cd_0.498Ga_1.004S_2.004). A fragment of the CdGa₂S₄-ZnGa₂S₄ phase diagram was studied, and the solid solution composition suitable for growing homogeneous single crystals with respect to the isotropic wavelength λ₀ within 492.7–532 nm was determined. A CdGa₂S₄-MgGa₂S₄ phase diagram was constructed, and the isotropic wavelength was studied as a function of magnesium prevalence in cadmium thiogallate. Magnesium and zinc codoping produces gyrotropic single crystals suitable for manufacturing optical elements of filtering devices with λ₀ within 492.7–880 nm.     

Electronic structure and properties of isoreticular metal-organic frameworks: the case of M-IRMOF1 (M = Zn, Cd, Be, Mg, and Ca)

We investigate the possibility of tailoring the electronic properties of isoreticular metal-organic materials by replacing the metal atom in the metal-organic cluster and by doping. The electronic structure of M-IRMOF1, where IRMOF1 stands for isoreticular metal-organic framework 1 and M = Be, Mg, Ca, Zn, and Cd, was examined using density-functional theory. The results show that these materials have similar band gaps (ca. 3.5 eV) and a conduction band that is split into two bands, the lower of which has a width that varies with metal substitution. This variation prompted us to investigate whether doping with Al or Li could be used to tailor the electronic properties of the Zn-IRMOF1 and Be-IRMOF1 materials. It is shown that replacing one metal atom with Al can effectively be used to create IRMOFs with different metallic properties. On the other hand, adding Li produces structural changes that render this approach less suitable.

Structure determination and relative properties of novel noncentrosymmetric borates MM'4(BO3)3 (M = Na, M' = Ca and M = K, M' = Ca, Sr)

A series of novel noncentrosymmetric borates, MM'4(BO3)3 (M = Na, M' = Ca; M = K, M' = Ca, Sr), have been successfully synthesized via a standard solid-state reaction. The crystal structures have been determined by the SDPD (structure determination from powder diffraction) method. They crystallize in the noncentrosymmetric space group Ama2 with the following lattice parameters: a = 10.68004(11) A, b = 11.28574(11) A, c = 6.48521(6) A for NaCa4(BO3)3; a = 10.63455(10) A, b = 11.51705(11) A, c = 6.51942(6) A for KCa4(BO3)3; and a = 11.03843(8) A, b = 11.98974(9) A, c = 6.88446(5) A for KSr4(BO3)3. The fundamental building units are isolated BO3 anionic groups. Their second harmonic generation (SHG) coefficients were one-half (NaCa4(BO3)3), one-third (KCa4(BO3)3), and two-thirds (KSr4(BO3)3) as large as that of KH2PO4 (KDP). The infrared and UV-vis spectra of the three compounds are discussed. Moreover, a comparison of the structures of these novel compounds and three other novel cubic compounds with the same formula, MM'4(BO3)3 (M = Li, M' = Sr; M = Na, M' = Sr, Ba), is presented here.     

Endohedral and Exohedral Metalloborospherenes: M@B40 (M=Ca,Sr) and M&B40 (M=Be,Mg)

The recent discovery of the all‐boron fullerenes or borospherenes, D_2d B₄₀^?/0, paves the way for borospherene chemistry. Here we report a density functional theory study on the viability of metalloborospherenes: endohedral M@B₄₀ (M=Ca, Sr) and exohedral M&B₄₀ (M=Be, Mg). Extensive global structural searches indicate that Ca@B₄₀ ( 1 , C_2v, ¹A₁) and Sr@B₄₀ ( 3 , D_2d, ¹A₁) possess almost perfect endohedral borospherene structures with a metal atom at the center, while Be&B₄₀ ( 5 , C_s, ¹A′) and Mg&B₄₀ ( 7 , C_s, ¹A′) favor exohedral borospherene geometries with a η⁷‐M atom face‐capping a heptagon on the waist. Metalloborospherenes provide indirect evidence for the robustness of the borospherene structural motif. The metalloborospherenes are characterized as charge‐transfer complexes (M²⁺B₄₀^2?), where an alkaline earth metal atom donates two electrons to the B₄₀ cage. The high stability of endohedral Ca@B₄₀ ( 1 ) and Sr@B₄₀ ( 3 ) is due to the match in size between the host cage and the dopant. Bonding analyses indicate that all 122 valence electrons in the systems are delocalized as σ or π bonds, being distributed evenly on the cage surface, akin to the D_2d B₄₀ borospherene.     

Sandwich-like compounds based on the all-metal aromatic unit Al(4)2- and the main-group metals M (M=Li, Na, K, Be, Mg, Ca)

Inspired by the pioneering experimental characterisation of the all-metal aromatic unit Al(4)2- in the bimetallic molecules MAl4- (M=Li, Na, Cu) and by the very recent theoretical design of sandwich-type transition-metal complexes [Al4MAl4]q- (q=0-2; M=Ti, V, Cr, Zr, Nb, Mo, Hf, Ta, W), we used density functional theory (DFT) calculations (B3LYP/6-311+G(d) to design a series of novel non-transition-metal sandwich complexes based on the all-metal aromatic unit Al4(2-) and the main-group metals M (M=Li, Na, K, Be, Mg, Ca). The traditional homo-decked sandwich compounds [Al4MAl4]q- (without counterions) and (nM)q+[Al4MAl4]q- (with counterions M) (q=2-3, M=Li, Na, K, Be, Mg, Ca), although some of them are truly energy minima, have a much higher energy than many fused isomers. We thus concluded that it seems unlikely for Al4(2-) to sandwich the main-group metal atoms in the homo-decked sandwich form. Alternatively, we proposed a new type of sandwich complex, namely hetero-decked sandwich compounds [CpMAl4]q-, that are the ground-state structures for each M both with and without counterions. It was shown that with the rigid Cp- partner, the all-metal aromatic unit Al(4)2- might indeed act as a "superatom". These new types of all-metal aromatic unit-based sandwich complexes await future experimental verification.     

Study of Ba3M(II)M(IV)WO9 (M(II) = Ca, Zn; M(IV) = Ti, Zr) perovskite oxides: competition between 3C and 6H perovskite structures

We describe an investigation of Ba3MIIMIVWO9 oxides for MII = Ca, Zn, and other divalent metals and MIV = Ti, Zr. In general, a 1:2-ordered 6H (hexagonal, P63/mmc) perovskite structure is stabilized at high temperatures (1300 degrees C) for all of the Ba3MIITiWO9 oxides investigated. An intermediate phase possessing a partially ordered 1:1 double perovskite (3C) structure with the cation distribution, Ba2(Zn2/3Ti1/3)(W2/3Ti1/3)O6, is obtained at 1200 degrees C for Ba3ZnTiWO9. Sr substitution for Ba in the latter stabilizes the cubic 3C structure instead of the 6H structure. A metastable Ba3CaZrWO9 that adopts the 3C (cubic, Fmm) structure has also been synthesized by a low-temperature metathesis route. Besides yielding several new perovskite oxides that may be useful as dielectric ceramics, the present investigation provides new insights into the complex interplay of crystal chemistry (tolerance factor) and chemical bonding (anion polarization and d0-induced distortion of metal-oxygen octahedra) in the stabilization of 6H versus 3C perovskite structures for the Ba3MIIMIVWO9 series.     

Endohedral and Exohedral Metalloborospherenes: M@B40 (M=Ca,Sr) and M&B40 (M=Be,Mg)

The recent discovery of the all‐boron fullerenes or borospherenes, D_2d B₄₀^−/0, paves the way for borospherene chemistry. Here we report a density functional theory study on the viability of metalloborospherenes: endohedral M@B₄₀ (M=Ca, Sr) and exohedral M&B₄₀ (M=Be, Mg). Extensive global structural searches indicate that Ca@B₄₀ ( 1 , C_2v, ¹A₁) and Sr@B₄₀ ( 3 , D_2d, ¹A₁) possess almost perfect endohedral borospherene structures with a metal atom at the center, while Be&B₄₀ ( 5 , C_s, ¹A′) and Mg&B₄₀ ( 7 , C_s, ¹A′) favor exohedral borospherene geometries with a η⁷‐M atom face‐capping a heptagon on the waist. Metalloborospherenes provide indirect evidence for the robustness of the borospherene structural motif. The metalloborospherenes are characterized as charge‐transfer complexes (M²⁺B₄₀²⁻), where an alkaline earth metal atom donates two electrons to the B₄₀ cage. The high stability of endohedral Ca@B₄₀ ( 1 ) and Sr@B₄₀ ( 3 ) is due to the match in size between the host cage and the dopant. Bonding analyses indicate that all 122 valence electrons in the systems are delocalized as σ or π bonds, being distributed evenly on the cage surface, akin to the D_2d B₄₀ borospherene.     

Structure-dependent luminescence properties of Eu3+-doped CsBPO4 (B = Mg,Zn)

Eu³⁺-doped monophosphate CsBPO₄ (B = Mg, Zn) was synthesized by conventional solid state reaction. The crystal phase formations and morphology of the phosphates were analyzed by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) measurements, respectively. The luminescence properties, including the photoluminescence excitation and emission spectra, decay curve (lifetime), the color coordinates and the internal quantum efficiency were investigated. Two Eu³⁺-doped monophosphates display very distinct luminescence properties. CsMgPO₄:Eu³⁺ presents the dominant reddish-orange emission from magnetic dipole transition ⁵D₀ → ⁷F₁ and a long luminescence lifetime. In contrast, CsZnPO₄:Eu³⁺ has a pure red color with the dominant induced electric-dipole transition ⁵D₀ → ⁷F₂ and a fast decay. Different results on the luminescence features of CsBPO₄ (B = Mg, Zn):Eu³⁺ were discussed on the base of crystal structure. Eu³⁺ has structure-dependent transitions due to the special microstructure occupied in a given host.     

Synthesis and electrocatalytic properties of microsized Ag2WO4 and nanoscaled MWO4 (M=Co, Mn)

Microstructured Ag₂WO₄ with shuttle-like shape was synthesized via a precipitation process with assistance of Arabic gum. MWO₄ (M=Co and Mn) nanocrystals were prepared facilely via a hydrothermal procedure. The as-prepared samples were identified and characterized by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and scanning electron microscopy, respectively. The resultant samples were used directly as electrocatalysts modified on a glassy carbon electrode for p-nitrophenol, K₂CrO₄ and H₂O₂ reduction in a basic solution. The results showed that all peak currents increased markedly but the corresponding peak potential decreased by using CoWO₄, MnWO₄ and Ag₂WO₄ in turn by comparing to a bare glassy carbon electrode, and Ag₂WO₄, CoWO₄ and MnWO₄ exhibited enhanced electrocatalytic activity for p-nitrophenol reduction. Ag₂WO₄ also showed effective electrocatalytic activity for K₂CrO₄ and H₂O₂ reduction, but both CoWO₄ and MnWO₄ almost displayed very weak electrocatalytic properties for K₂CrO₄ and H₂O₂ reduction in basic solution.     

Semiempirical calculations on WO3 and MXWO3 crystals (M = H,Li, Na)

The monoclinic structure of tungsten trioxide WO₃ has been studied by combining a modified intermediate neglect of differential overlap (INDO) method and the supercell model. The fitted semiempirical parameters describe very well the features of the band structure and crystal structure. Calculations of H, Li, and Na impurities in a WO₃ crystal have been performed to study the absorption spectra and the equilibrium geometries of intercalated impurities. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

[M(NH3)5Cl]WO4 (M = Cr, Rh): Synthesis, crystal structure, thermal properties

By single crystal X-ray diffraction the crystal structure of a series of [M(NH₃)₅Cl]WO₄ (M = Cr, Rh) complex salts is determined. The features of thermal expansion of the single crystal of [Cr(NH₃)₅Cl]WO₄ are studied by low- and high-temperature X-ray diffractometry in the temperature range from ?173°C to +127°C. It is shown that with an increase in the temperature, W-O distances and ∠O-W-O bond angles equalize and the average W-O distances decrease by 0.012 Å. The thermal properties of the salts in different gaseous atmospheres are examined and the phase composition of the obtained products is studied.     

A DFT study on dinuclear metallocenes RMMR [R= (BCO)5, (BNN)5; M = Be, Mg, Ca, Zn, Cd

A series of dinuclear metallocenes with formula RMMR [R= (BCO)5, (BNN)5; M = Be, Mg, Ca, Zn, Cd] are investigated via density functional theory. All these compounds contain two M[eta5-(BCO)5] fragments or two M[eta5-(BNN)5] fragments with a direct metal-metal single sigma bond. Detailed NBO analyses show that the metal-ligand interactions are predominantly ionic in nature and each metal atom is in its +1 oxidation state. NBO analyses indicate that the interaction between the B-B bonds and metal-metal antibond has played a role in the stabilities of these compounds.     

Electronic band structures and photovoltaic properties of MWO4 (M=Zn, Mg, Ca, Sr) compounds

Divalent metal tungstates, MWO₄, with wolframite (M=Zn and Mg) and scheelite (M=Ca and Sr) structures were prepared using a conventional solid state reaction method. Their electronic band structures were investigated by a combination of electronic band structure calculations and electrochemical measurements. From these investigations, it was found that the band structures (i.e. band positions and band gaps) of the divalent metal tungstates were significantly influenced by their crystal structural environments, such as the W-O bond length. Their photovoltaic properties were evaluated by applying to the working electrodes for dye-sensitized solar cells. The dye-sensitized solar cells employing the wolframite-structured metal tungstates (ZnWO₄ and MgWO₄) exhibited better performance than those using the scheelite-structured metal tungstates (CaWO₄ and SrWO₄), which was attributed to their enhanced electron transfer resulting from their appropriate band positions.

Structure determination and relative properties of novel cubic borates MM'4(BO3)3 (M = Li, M' = Sr; M = Na, M' = Sr, Ba)

A series of novel borates, MM'4(BO3)3 (M = Li, M' = Sr; M = Na, M' = Sr, Ba), have been successfully synthesized by standard solid-state reaction. The crystal structures have been determined from powder X-ray diffraction data. They crystallize in the cubic space group Iad with large lattice parameters: a = 14.95066(5) A for LiSr4(BO3)3, a = 15.14629(6) A for NaSr4(BO3)3, and a = 15.80719(8) A for NaBa4(BO3)3. The structure was built up from 64 small cubic grids, in which the M' atoms took up the corner angle and the BO3 triangles or MO6 cubic octahedra filled in the interspaces. The isolated [BO3]3- anionic groups are perpendicular to each other, distributed along three 100 directions. The anisotropic polarizations were counteracting, forming an isotropic crystal. Sr and Ba atoms were found to be completely soluble in the solid solution NaSr(4-)xBax(BO3)3 (0 < or = x < or = 4). The photoluminescence of samples doped with the ions Eu2+ and Eu3+ was studied, and effective yellow and red emission was detected, respectively. The results are consistent with the crystallographic study. The DTA and TGA curves of them show that they are chemically stable and congruent melting compounds.
