Syntheses, structures and properties of five chiral quaternary sulfides, AlxLn3(SiyAl1?y)S7 (Ln = Y, Gd, Dy) and In0.33Sm3SiS7

Five new quaternary isostructural rare-earth sulfides, Al_0.57Gd₃(Si_0.27Al_0.73)S₇ (1), Al_0.55Dy₃(Si_0.34Al_0.66)S₇ (2), Al_0.50Y₃(Si_0.50Al_0.50)S₇ (3), Al_0.44Gd₃(Si_0.70Al_0.30)S₇ (4) and In_0.33Sm₃SiS₇ (5), have been synthesized by facile solid-state reactions. They crystallize in the 3-D ALn₃EQ₇ structure type in the hexagonal chiral space group P6₃. The structures feature a 3-D host framework constructed by Ln-S bicapped trigonal prisms, in which the octahedral and tetrahedral interspaces are occupied by A and E atoms, respectively. The investigation of optical and magnetic properties of 4 indicates that it is a semiconductor and behaves antiferromagnetic-like interaction.     

Syntheses,structures and magnetic properties of isonicotinate-bridged heterometallic Ln(III)–Cu(II) coordination polymers

The heterometallic Ln(III)–Cu(II) coordination polymers [CuLn₂(IN)₈(H₂O)₄] _n (IN?=?isonicotinate, Ln?=?Gd (1), Dy (2), Er(3)) have been synthesized by hydrothermal reactions and characterized by elemental analysis, IR and single crystal X-ray diffraction. The compounds are isomorphous and crystallize in monoclinic space group P2₁/c, adopting a one-dimensional chain structure with alternately arranged [Ln₂(IN)₆(H₂O)₄] and [Cu(IN)₂] building blocks bridged by isonicotinates. Temperature-dependent magnetic susceptibility for complex 1 was studied, and a very weak ferromagnetic interaction between metal ions was observed.     

Syntheses and Single-crystal Structures of Ln_3Sn_(0.25)GeS_7 (Ln=La,Sm)

Two new quaternary sulfides,La3Sn0.25GeS71 and Sm3 Sn0.25GeS72,have been synthesized by a facile solid-state reaction,and their crystal structures were determined by singlecrystal X-ray diffraction analysis.The two compounds crystallize in the P6 3 space group,and the crystal data are as follows-La3Sn0.25GeS7:a=10.3335(7),c=5.8455(7),Z=2;Sm3Sn0.25GeS7:a=9.999(3),c=5.787(2),Z=2.Single-crystal analysis indicated that the two compounds consist of three types of building blocks:LnS 8 anti-tetragonal prism,SnS 6 octahedron,and GeS 4 tetrahedron.     

Structural,magnetic and electronic properties of oxides containing divalent europium,LiEu2LnO4 (Ln ≡ Y,Gd, Dy)

The structural, electronic and magnetic properties of a new series of oxides containing divalent europium (LiEu^II₂Ln^IIIO₄) have been investigated by X-ray diffraction, Mössbauer spectroscopy (¹⁵¹Eu, ¹⁵⁵Gd, ¹⁶¹Dy) and bulk magnetic measurements. These isostructural compounds crystallize with the orthorhombic LiEu₃O₄ structure. They order ferro(ferri)magnetically at about the same temperature of 14 K. The ¹⁵⁵Eu Mössbauer spectra were analysed consistently with two non-equivalent Eu(II) sites in agreement with the structural data. The ¹⁶¹Dy hyperfine-field value indicated a nearly fully saturated J_z, while quadrupolar data suggested slight crystal-field admixture.     

Syntheses,structures, magnetic properties,and photoluminescence of compounds Ln(2,2′-Bipy)(C4H8NCS2)3 · 0.5CH2Cl2 (Ln = Sm,Eu, Tb,Dy, and Tm)

Five compounds of the composition Ln(2,2′-Bipy)(C₄H₈NCS₂)₃ · 0.5CH₂Cl₂ (Ln = Sm (I), Eu (II), Tb (III), Dy (IV), and Tm (V); 2,2′-Bipy = 2,2′-bipyridine) are synthesized. According to the X-ray diffraction data (CIF file CCDC 986259), the crystal structure of compound I consists of molecules of the mononuclear complex [Sm(2,2′-Bipy)(C₄H₈NCS₂)₃] and solvate molecules CH₂Cl₂ (2 : 1). The coordination polyhedron N₂S₆ of the Sm atom is a distorted tetragonal antiprism. The X-ray diffraction analysis shows that compounds I–V are isostructural. The magnetic properties of compounds I–V are analyzed in the temperature range from 2 to 300 K. At 300 K compounds I and III are photoluminescent in the visible spectral range. The photoluminescence intensity of compound I considerably exceeds that of complex III.     

Syntheses, structure, and luminescent properties of novel hydrated rare earth borates Ln2B6O10OH4•H2O (Ln = Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Dy, Ho, and Y)

Ln(2)B(6)O(10)(OH)(4)?H(2)O (Ln = Pr, Nd, Sm-Gd, Dy, Ho, and Y), a new series of hydrated rare earth borates, have been synthesized under hydrothermal conditions. A single crystal of Nd analogue was used for the structure determination by X-ray diffraction. It crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c with lattice constants a = 21.756(4), b = 4.3671(9), c = 12.192(2) ?, and β = 108.29(3)°. The other compounds are isostructural to Nd(2)B(6)O(10)(OH)(4)?H(2)O. The fundamental building block (FBB) of the polyborate anion in this structure is a three-membered ring [B(3)O(6)(OH)(2)](5-). The FBBs are connected by sharing oxygen atoms forming an infinite [B(3)O(5)(OH)(2)](3-) chain, and the chains are linked by hydrogen bonds, establishing a two-dimensional (2-D) [B(6)O(10)(OH)(4)?H(2)O](6-) layer. The 2-D borate layers are thus interconnected by Ln(3+) ions to form the complex three-dimensional structure. Ln(2)B(6)O(10)(OH)(4)?H(2)O dehydrates stepwise, giving rise to two new intermediate compounds Ln(2)B(6)O(10)(OH)(4) and Ln(2)B(6)O(11)(OH)(2). The investigation on the luminescent properties of Gd(2-2x)Eu(2x)B(6)O(10)(OH)(4)?H(2)O (x = 0.01-1.00) shows a high efficiency of Eu(3+) f-f transitions and the existence of the energy transfer process from Gd(3+) to Eu(3+). Eu(2)B(6)O(10)(OH)(4)?H(2)O and its two dehydrated products, Eu(2)B(6)O(10)(OH)(4) and Eu(2)B(6)O(11)(OH)(2), present the strongest emission peak at 620 nm ((5)D(0) → (7)F(2) transition), which may be potential red phosphors.

Syntheses,characterization, and crystal structures of coordination polymers: {NH4 · [Ln(OVA)4]} n (Ln=Pr,Nd, Gd,and Ho; OVA=2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzoate)

The title complexes {NH₄ · [Ln(OVA)₄]} _n (Ln = Pr, Nd, Gd, and Ho; OVA = 2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzoate) were synthesized in water and characterized by FT-IR, elemental analysis, TGA, and X-ray single-crystal diffraction analysis. Two distinct structure types were isolated. Structure type I with formula {NH₄ · [Ln(OVA)₄]} _n (Ln = Pr, Nd, Gd) contains Ln–COO^? quadruply-bridged helical 1-D chains, with all carboxylates bridging. The structure type II with formula {NH₄ · [Ho(OVA)₄]} _n contains bridging and chelating carboxylates, resulting in Ho–COO^? double helical 1-D chains. The passage from type I to type II structure is ascribed to the lanthanide contraction. These 1-D chains are extended to 3-D supramolecular architecture by hydrogen bonds.     

Effect of cation size and size-disorder on the magnetic and electron transport properties of La0.7−xLnxSr0.3MnO3 (Ln=Gd and Dy)

Magnetic and electron transport properties of La_0.7−xLn_xSr_0.3MnO₃ with Ln=Gd and Dy have been investigated over a wide range of compositions to explore the effects of the radius of the A-site cation, 〈r_A〉, and the size-disorder as measured by σ². These manganates exhibit ferromagnetism and insulator–metal transitions up to a critical value of x (x_c), with the T_c (T_IM) values decreasing with 〈r_A〉. When x⩾x_c, however, the manganates cease to be ferromagnetic and instead they show an abrupt decrease in magnetization and increase in resistivity, suggesting the likely occurrence of electronic phase separation.     

Syntheses, structures and magnetic properties of a family of one-dimensional M(Ⅱ)-lanthanide(Ⅲ) (M = Ni(Ⅱ) and Zn(Ⅱ)) coordination polymers

A series of 1D nickel(II)/zinc(II)-lanthanide(III) coordination polymers, [M(μ-L)2Ln(NO3)3]n·solvents (HL = bis(2-pyridylcarbonyl)amine; M = Ni, Ln = Gd (1·NiGd), Tb (2·NiTb), Dy (3·NiDy), Ho (4·NiHo), Y (5·NiY); M = Zn, Ln = Gd (6·ZnGd), Tb (7·ZnTb), Dy (8·ZnDy), Ho (9·ZnHo); solvents = H2O or H2O-ethanol), was synthesized and characterized. All of the complexes are isostructural at 293 K and crystallize in the orthorhombic space group Fddd. Magnetic measurements were performed on 1―9, where weak ferromagnetic interaction is found in 1·NiGd, ferromagnetic interaction in 2·NiTb and 3·NiDy, and antiferromagnetic interaction in 4·NiHo. A remarkable dc magnetic field dependence of ac susceptibilities was found in this series of complexes.     

Synthesis and Characterization of Ethylthioethylcyclopenta-dienyl Organolanthanide Complexes:Cp_2~(Th)LnCl(Ln=Gd,Dy),Cp_2LnCp~(Th)(Ln=Yb,Sm,Dy,Y) and Cp~(Th)ErCl_2·2THF

Introduction Functional substituted cyclopentadienyl organolan-thanide complexes continue to attract considerable at-tention because these donor-functionalized side chains can increase the stability of highly reactive organolan-thanide complexes by forming the additional in-tramolecular chelating coordination with the central metal, and for early lanthanide complexes, the enhanced stability offers the opportunity to explore the reactivity of the remaining ligands.1-4 In addition, the in-tramol…     

Synthesis, structures, and photoluminescence of heteroligand complexes Ln(L)(iso-Bu2PS2)2(NO3) (Ln = Sm, Tb, Dy; L = Phen, 2,2′-Bipy)

Heteroligand complexes Ln(L)(iso-Bu₂PS₂)₂(NO₃) (Ln = Sm, Tb, Dy; L = Phen, 2,2??-Bipy) (I?CVI) are synthesized. The structure of Dy(Phen)(iso-Bu₂PS₂)₂(NO₃) (III) is determined from the data of X-ray structure analysis. The crystal structure of complex III is based on discrete mononuclear molecules in which the Dy atom has distorted dodecahedral coordination (polyhedron N₂O₂S₄). The ligands Phen, iso-Bu₂PS ₂ ^? and NO ₃ ^? are bidentate-cyclic. According to the X-ray diffraction analysis data, complexes I and II are isostructural to compound III. Complexes I?CVI have photoluminescence in the visible spectral range. The photoluminescence spectra of solid samples of compounds I?CVI exhibit bands corresponding to the radiative electron transitions of the Sm³⁺, Tb³⁺, and Dy³⁺ ions. Among the studied compounds I?CVI, the Tb(III) complexes are characterized by the most intense photoluminescence.     

Syntheses,structures, and luminescent properties of lanthanide complexes with N,N′-bis(p-methoxyphenyl)-3-oxapentanediamide

An amide-type acyclic polyether, N,N′-bis(p-methoxyphenyl)-3-oxapentanediamide (L), and its three lanthanide coordination compounds, [Ln(NO₃)(L)₂(H₂O)₂]?·?(NO₃)₂ [Ln?=?Pr (1), Nd (2), and Dy (3)], have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, thermal analysis, and X-ray diffraction. Single crystal X-ray structure analyses reveal that 1 and 2 have the same structure and crystallize in the monoclinic crystal system with C2/c space group. The coordination geometry around the central atom is a distorted bicapped square antiprism. Extensive intermolecular hydrogen bonds in 1 and 2 result in 3-D supramolecular networks. Complex 3 exhibits luminescence in the visible region upon excitation with UV-rays.     

Syntheses,structures, and properties of Ni(II) complexes with 5,5′-bis(4-halogenphenyl)diazo-dipyrromethane

Ni(II) complexes with 5,5′-bis(4-halogenphenyl)diazo-dipyrromethane have been synthesized and characterized by X-ray crystallography. All the complexes have similar crystal structures in which Ni(II) is square-planar by coordinating to two pyrrole and two azo nitrogen atoms. The azo-pyrroles of the ligands can be converted to the hydrazone tautomer after complexing nickel. Moreover, the C–H?···?Ni interaction played an important role in directing self-assembly of the complexes. The UV-Vis spectra of the complexes showed great difference with the metal complexes of pyrrol-2-imine.     

Structure and charge-transport properties of LnBaCuCoO<Subscript>5 + δ</Subscript> (Ln = Y,Dy) cuprocobaltites

LnBaCuCoO_{5 + δ} (Ln = Y, Dy) cuprocobaltites were prepared. Their unit cell parameters were determined and their thermal expansion, electrical conductivity (σ), and Seebeck coefficient (S) were studied in air in the range 300–1100 K. The compounds have tetragonal structures (space group P4/mmm). Their unit cell parameters are a = 0.3867(2) nm, c = 0.7550(7) nm, V = 112.9(2) × 10^?3 nm³ for YBaCuCoO_4.98; and a = 0.3872(2) nm, c = 0.7562(7) nm, V = 113.4(2) × 10^?3 nm³ for DyBaCuCoO_5.01. They are p-type semiconductors. The electrical conductivity of DyBaCuCoO_{5 + δ} is slightly lower and its Seebeck coefficient is 1.5–2 times higher than the respective values for YBaCuCoO_{5 + δ} apparently because of different electronic configurations of the rare-earth cations in LnBaCuCoO_{5 + δ} (4d ⁰ for Y³⁺ and 4f ⁹ for Dy³⁺). Dilatometric measurements show that the LnBaCuCoO_{5 + δ} phases in the range 300–1100 K do not experience structural phase transitions, and their linear thermal expansion coefficients (LTEC) are 14.3 × 10^?6 K^?1 for Ln = Y and 14.7 × 10^?6 K^?1 for Ln = Dy.

采用高温固相法制备了Ln（Ln=Y／Gd）VO4掺Er^3＋或Nd^3＋的近红外发光材料。通过X射线粉末衍射（XRD）和光致发光（PL）对样品进行了表征。结果表明：所得产品结晶良好，属于四方晶系，锆石结构。研究了Er^3＋，Nd^3＋的含量、煅烧时间、煅烧温度等对材料近红外发光性质的影响。在Ln（Ln=Y／Gd）VO4：Er^3＋／Nd^3＋中，存在明显的从VO4^3-向Er^3＋／Nd^3＋的能量传递。两种不同的LnVO4（Ln=Y／Gd）基质对发光性质也有一定的影响。小浓度Bi^3＋的掺人可以明显提高YVO4：Er^3＋／Nd^3＋的近红外发光强度。     

Structural Order–Disorder Transitions in Ln2Ti2O7 (Ln = Lu,Gd)

The phase generation in the Lu(Gd)–Ti–O systems is studied at 20–1000° using a co-precipitation method. During a thermal treatment of co-precipitation products after a sublimation dehydration, for a composition with the Lu : Ti cation ratio of 1 : 1, an Lu₂Ti₂O₇ phase with a fluorite structure forms at 650°. At 730–750°C the phase undergoes a fluorite pyrochlore transition. Above 750°C its structure is that of disordered pyrochlore, in which antistructural defects occur in Lu and Ti positions (up to 18%). Above 900°C the structure of pyrochlore becomes ordered, and the number of defects in Lu and Ti positions decreases, which affects the temperature dependence of permittivity of Lu₂Ti₂O₇. In Gd–Ti–O system, Gd₂Ti₂O₇ is crystallized, which has a pyrochlore structure only at 740–900°. Electroconductivity and permittivity of Lu₂Ti₂O₇ and Gd₂Ti₂O₇ are measured.     

Ce~(3+)在LnOX(Ln=La,Gd或Y;X=Cl,Br或I)中的发光

以激发光谱和发光光谱研究了Ce~(3+)在LnOX中的发光。光谱表明当X相同而Ln不同时,谱图上Ce~(3+)峰的位置只有较小的移动;而X不同时Ce~(3+)峰的位置有明显和有规律地移动,即按照Cl——Br——I次序往长波方向移动,这个次序与X的电负性减小的次序是一致的。还可以看到Ln=La时与Ln=Gd或Y时有差别,而且Ln=La时stokes位移较大,从离子半径角度对这些进行了讨论。
