H⁺/M⁺ (M=Na, K) ion exchange on -titanium phosphate (-TiP) at 25°C and under static conditions has been studied. Titration and hydrolysis curves and the exchange isotherms were determined. The substitution was followed by X-ray diffraction. Direct calorimetric measurements were carried out at different degrees of conversion and the variation of the exchange enthalpy and the hydrolysis enthalpy of -TiP were obtained. The results are compared to the values of H° obtained in previous works from titration data.

Effect of TMB/P123 ratios on physicochemical properties of mesocellular foam carbon (MCF-C) as catalyst for ethanol dehydrogenation

The preparation of mesocellular foam carbon catalysts with different ratios of 1,3,5-trimethyl benzene (TMB)/P123 is represented for investigation in catalytic activity via ethanol dehydrogenation to acetaldehyde. The TMB was used as a swelling agent and P123 acted as template-structuring. The physicochemical properties of synthesized catalysts were determined using Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area analysis, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM)–energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), ammonia temperature-programmed desorption (NH₃-TPD), and carbon dioxide temperature-programmed desorption (CO₂-TPD). The evidence suggested that various ratios of TMB/P123 can differently control the mesostructure including the pore size, specific surface area, and pore volume. Particularly, MCF-C 3.5 catalyst (TMB/P123 of 3.5) enhanced the catalytic via ethanol dehydrogenation. Interestingly, effectively controllable pore structure of catalysts is beneficial for the desorption of selective product such as acetaldehyde leading to remarkably increased yield of acetaldehyde. Furthermore, the MCF-C 3.5 evidently exhibited outstanding stability at temperature of 400 °C for 12 h. Thus, it can be reasonably selected the ratio of TMB/P123 as 3.5, which is dominantly facilitated either high diffusion of reactant or high stability without losing of the traditional structure compared with other ratios of TMB/P123.     

Hydrogen storage properties of metal nitroprussides M[Fe(CN)5NO], (M = Co, Ni)

The volumetric hydrogen adsorption isotherms of two isostructural dehydrated cubic metal nitroprussides M[Fe(CN)5NO] (M = Co2+, Ni2+) have been measured up to a pressure of 760 Torr at 77 and 87 K. These materials are among the most efficient H2 sorbents based on porous coordination polymers reported to date. The H2 uptake in both materials is approximately 1.6 wt % at 77 K and 760 torr. These H2 capacities match those reported recently in the structurally related M3[Co(CN)6]2 compounds and are approximately 25% higher than those reported for Zn4O(1,4-benzenedicarboxylate)3 under the same conditions of temperature and pressure. The isosteric heats of H2 adsorption calculated from the 77 and 87 K isotherms for both materials were found to vary from approximately 7.5 kJ/mol at 0.40 wt % coverage to approximately 5.5 kJ/mol at 1.2 wt % coverage. The N2 BET surface areas were determined to be 634 m2/g and 523 m2/g for M = Ni and M = Co, respectively.     

Structure and Polymorphism of M(thd)3 (M = Al,Cr, Mn,Fe, Co,Ga, and In)

Formation, crystal structure, polymorphism, and transition between polymorphs are reported for M(thd)₃, (M = Al, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ga, and In) [(thd)^– = anion of H(thd) = C₁₁H₂₀O₂ = 2, 2, 6, 6‐tetramethylheptane‐3, 5‐dione]. Fresh crystal‐structure data are provided for monoclinic polymorphs of Al(thd)₃, Ga(thd)₃, and In(thd)₃. Apart from adjustment of the M–O_k bond length, the structural characteristics of M(thd)₃ complexes remain essentially unaffected by change of M. Analysis of the M–O_k, O_k–C_k, and C_k–C_k distances support the notion that the M–O_k–C_k–C_k–C_k–O_k– ring forms a heterocyclic unit with σ and π contributions to the bonds. Tentative assessments according to the bond‐valence or bond‐order scheme suggest that the strengths of the σ bonds are approximately equal for the M–O_k, O_k–C_k, and C_k–C_k bonds, whereas the π component of the M–O_k bonds is small compared with those for the O_k–C_k, and C_k–C_k bonds. The contours of a pattern for the occurrence of M(thd)₃ polymorphs suggest that polymorphs with structures of orthorhombic or higher symmetry are favored on crystallization from the vapor phase (viz. sublimation). Monoclinic polymorphs prefer crystallization from solution at temperatures closer to ambient. Each of the M(thd)₃ complexes subject to this study exhibits three or more polymorphs (further variants are likely to emerge consequent on systematic exploration of the crystallization conditions). High‐temperature powder X‐ray diffraction shows that the monoclinic polymorphs convert irreversibly to the corresponding rotational disordered orthorhombic variant above some 100–150 °C (depending on M). The orthorhombic variant is in turn transformed into polymorphs of tetragonal and cubic symmetry before entering the molten state. These findings are discussed in light of the current conceptions of rotational disorder in molecular crystals.

Magnetic susceptibility of complex perovskite-like oxides Gd₂SrFe₂O₇ and Gd₂SrAl₂O₇ was studied. A sharp decrease in the magnetic characteristics of gadolinium ferrite as compared to gadolinium aluminate points to the presence of strong antiferromagnetic interactions between the iron ions.

Coordination solids derived from Cp*M(CN)3- (M = Rh,Ir)

Solutions of Rh2(OAc)4 and Et4N[Cp*Ir(CN)3] react to afford crystals of the one-dimensional coordination solid [Et4N[Cp*Ir(CN)3][Rh2(OAc)4]]. This reaction is reversed by coordinating solvents such as MeCN. The structure of the polymer consists of helical anionic chains containing Rh2(OAc)4 units linked via two of the three CN ligands of Cp*Ir(CN)3-. Use of the more Lewis acidic Rh2(O2CCF3)4 in place of Rh2(OAc)4 gave purple [(Et4N)2[Cp*Ir(CN)3]2[Rh2(O2CCF3)4]3], whose insolubility is attributed to stronger Rh-NC bonds as well as the presence of cross-linking. The species [[Cp*Rh(CN)3][Ni(en)n](PF6)] (n = 2, 3) crystallized from an aqueous solution of Et4N[Cp*Rh(CN)3] and [Ni(en)3](PF6)2; [[Cp*Rh(CN)3][Ni(en)2](PF6)] consists of helical chains based on cis-Ni(en)(2)2+ units. Aqueous solutions of Et4N[Cp*Ir(CN)3] and AgNO3 afforded the colorless solid Ag-[Cp*Ir(CN)3]. Recrystallization of this polymer from pyridine gave the hemipyridine adduct [Ag[Ag(py)][Cp*Ir(CN)3]2]. The 13C cross-polarization magic-angle spinning NMR spectrum of the pyridine derivative reveals two distinct Cp* groups, while in the pyridine-free precursor, the Cp*'s appear equivalent. The solid-state structure of [Ag[Ag(py)][Cp*Ir(CN)3]2] reveals a three-dimensional coordination polymer consisting of chains of Cp*Ir(CN)3- units linked to alternating Ag+ and Ag(py)+ units. The network structure arises by the linking of these helices through the third cyanide group on each Ir center.     

Collision-induced and infrared multiphoton dissociation studies on M(acetone)2 + (M=Al,Fe, Co,Cu, ScO) in the gas phase

In this paper we report an extension of our earlier study on the structure of Alfacetone)₂ ⁺ Collision-induced dissociation (CID) on MfacetoneXacetone-d₆)⁺ for M = Al, Fe, Co, and Cu yields primarily, if not exclusively, nearly equal amounts of acetone and acetone-d₆. Likewise, infrared multiphoton dissociation (IRMPD) at 10.6 μm yields, exclusively, nearly equal losses of the labeled and unlabeled acetones. These results suggest that the two acetone ligands bind in an equivalent fashion. Sc⁺ was also studied, which proved to be the most interesting. Sc⁺ reacts with acetone to form primarily ScO⁺, which undergoes higher order reactions leading to several products including ScO(acetone)₂ ⁺. IRMPD on this ion produces ScO(acetone-d₆)(CD₂CO)⁺, while its perdeuterated analog also produces ScO(acetone-d₆)⁺ in addition to ScO(acetone-d₆(CD₂CO)⁺. The IRMPD results are supplemented by studying the primary and higher order reactions of Sc⁺ with acetone, as well as the CID of ScO(acetone)₂ ⁺. Finally, a qualitative assessment of the infrared photodissociation cross sections is given. It is found that the relative photodissociation cross sections follow the orders Co(acetone-d₆)₂ ⁺ > Co(acetone)(acetone-d₆) > Co(acetone)₂ ⁺ and Co(acetone-d₆)⁺ > Co(acetone)⁺.     

The Influence of Heteroatom M(M = B, Al, Ge, Ga, Fe)on the Adsorption Properties of M-ZSM-12 Zeolites

Heteroatom M-ZSM-12 zeolites(M=B, Al, Ge, Ga, Fe) are hydrothermally synthesized and it is proved that the heteroatom M is involved in the framework of synthesized molecular sieves by means of XRD, IR spectra. The results of adsorption and diffusion experiments indicate that the heteroatom M modifies the pore volume, specific surface area, and the channel of ZSM-12 molecular sieves.     

Lithium ion conduction in substituted Li5MO4, M = Al,Fe

The ionic conductivity of substituted Li₅AlO₄ and Li₅FeO₄ phases was measured by a complex impedance method. The high-temperature β phase was obtained in quenched Li₅AlO₄ but not in Li₅FeO₄. The Zn-substituted quenched samples form β-type phases in both systems and show much higher conductivities than those of pure Li₅MO₄. The best conductivities at 300°C are 1.5 × 10⁻³ and 7.0 × 10⁻³ (Ω-cm)⁻¹ for Li_5.9Al_0.1Zn_0.9O₄ and Li_5.5Fe_0.5Zn_0.5O₄, respectively. The results are discussed in relation to the structural properties.     

Crystalline oxyfluorinated open-framework compounds: Silicates, metal phosphates, metal fluorides and metal-organic frameworks (MOF)

This contribution is dedicated to a short overview on the utilization of fluorine for the preparation of crystalline microporous frameworks including different families of solids: zeolites, metal phosphates and metal-organic frameworks (MOF-type). Beside the silicates compounds, this presentation is focused on the different types of fluorinated aluminum or gallium phosphates hydrothermally obtained in the presence of organic structure-directing agent or templates. The structural features of aluminum fluorides synthesized with amines are also detailed as well as the influence of fluorine in the synthesis of the metal-organic frameworks involving trivalent metals. The role of fluorine is described for the hydrothermal synthesis of the different classes of materials. Fluorine is known for playing the role of mineralizing agent and favors the formation of well crystalline phases. The use of HF modifies the pH of the reaction, which allows for the insertion of additional metallic cations on the mineral network. From the structural point of view, fluoride anions can be located within small cavities of the 3D framework and interactions with metals T (T = Si, Al, Ga, …) are often observed, resulting in the coordination change (from tetrahedral unit TO₄ to trigonal bipyramid TO₄F or octahedron TO₄F₂). Several configurations are found for fluorine and it seems to favor the stabilization of the specific cubane-like building unit (D4R), in which it is trapped, or participates to the coordination sphere of the metal atoms with bridging or terminal bondings. In general, new three-dimensional topologies with extra-large pores are obtained. The synthesis of purely aluminum fluorides with structure-directing agent is considered but only molecular or low-dimensional structures (chain-like or layered) compounds have been described. Fluorine is also used as a mineralizing agent for the preparation of well crystalline porous aluminum or chromium carboxylates and it was observed to partly substitute the aquo ligands in the giant pore of the compound MIL-100.     

Mössbauer study of Al6 (Fe,Mn) formation in Al-rich Al−Fe−Mn alloys

Al–Fe–Mn alloys containing 0.5 wt. % iron and 0–3.0 wt. % manganese were prepared at different cooling rates from 0.1 to 500 K/s and studied by Mössbauer spectroscopy. Beyond the usual phase analysis, it was found that the presence of manganese is responsible for the decrease of the quadrupole splitting and isomer shift of the Al₆(Fe,Mn) phase, compared to those of Al₆Fe. It was also shown that the Mössbauer parameters are characteristic of the average manganese content of Al₆(Fe,Mn) only if there are no substantial fluctuations of the Fe/Mn ratio in the Al₆(Fe,Mn) phase. Accurate Mössbauer parameters for the Al₆Fe phase were also determined.     

Thermodynamic Properties of the MZr2(PO4)3 (M=Na,K, Rb or Cs) Compounds

The enthalpies of the solution of MZr₂(PO₄)₃(M=Na, K, Rb or Cs) compounds have been measured by the help of a differential automatic isothermal Calvet calorimeter and the standard enthalpies of formation have been derived. The temperature dependencies of the standard heat capacity of the samples of crystalline NaZr₂(PO₄)₃ and CsZr₂(PO₄)₃ were studied between 7 and 340 K in an automatic adiabatic vacuum calorimeter. The main thermodynamic functions H ⁰(T)–H ⁰(0), S ⁰(T) andG ⁰(T)–H ⁰(0) have been determined. The Gibbs energies of formation of the NaZr₂(PO₄)₃and CsZr₂(PO₄)₃ at 298.15 K were calculated on the basis of these experimental data and the enthalpy of formation data. Qualitative explanations for the results observed were presented. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.

New examples of metalloaromatic Al-clusters: (Al4M4)Fe(CO)3 (M = Li, Na and K) and (Al4M4)2Ni: rationalization for possible synthesis

Ab initio calculations reveal that all-metal antiaromatic molecules like Al4M4 (M = Li, Na and K) can be stabilized in half sandwich (Al4M4)Fe(CO)3 and full sandwich (Al4M4)2Ni complexes. The formation of the full sandwich complex [(Al4M4)2Ni] from its organometallic precursor depends on the stability of the organic-inorganic hybrid (C4H4)Ni(Al4Li4).     

Infrared spectroscopic observation of the group 13 metal hydroxides, M(OH)1,2,3 (M =Al, Ga, In, and Tl) and HAl(OH)2

Reactions of laser-ablated Al, Ga, In, and Tl atoms with H2O2 and with H2 + O2 mixtures diluted in argon give new absorptions in the O-H and M-O stretching and O-H bending regions, which are assigned to the metal mono-, di-, and trihydroxide molecules. Isotopic substitutions (D2O2, 18O2, 16,18O2, HD, and D2) confirm the assignments, and DFT calculations reproduce the experimental results. Infrared spectra for the Al(OH)(OD) molecule verify the calculated C2v structure. The trihydroxide molecules increase on annealing from the spontaneous reaction with a second H2O2 molecule. Aluminum atom reactions with the H2 + O2 mixtures favor the HAl(OH)2 product, suggesting that AlH3 generated by UV irradiation combines with O2 to form HAl(OH)2.
