Rare-earth metal-rich antimonides: syntheses, structures, and properties of Tm(3)Sb and Lu(7)Sb(3)

The two most metal-rich lanthanide antimony phases known were obtained from high-temperature solid state syntheses, that for Tm3Sb being of greater difficulty because of its apparent incongruent melting. The Tm3Sb phase crystallizes in the tetragonal space group P42/n (No. 86) with a Ti3P-type (Pearson: tP32) structure, a = 12.2294(5) Angstrom, c = 5.9852(5) Angstrom, and Z = 8. The phase Lu7Sb3 exhibits a Sc7As3-type tetragonal structure, I4/mcm (No. 140) (tI56), with a = 15.5974(7) Angstrom, c = 8.8130(7) Angstrom, and Z = 8. Both structures are described in terms of compact arrays of condensed chains of metal polyhedra (tetrahedral, tetrahedral star, trigonal prismatic, cubic) together with six- to nine-coordinate Sb in metal polyhedra. Magnetic susceptibility data on the paramagnetic Tm3Sb are also reported.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of Bis(dicyanamide) (5,7,7,12,14,14-Hexamethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane) Nickel(Ⅱ)

1 INTRODUCTION Crystal engineering is becoming an increase- ingly interest field by means of coordinated co- valent bonding or supramolecular contacts (such as hydrogen bonds, p-p interaction etc.)[1～7]. The ligand [N(CN)2]- is a remarkably versatile building block for constructing supramolecular architectures since it may act in uni-, biand tridentate manner. Additional ligands, such as coordinating amines (Lewis bases), in combination with dicyan- amide have been shown to produce n…     

New 3-D La(III)-Cu(II)-containing coordination polymer with a high potential porosity

A new 3-D coordination polymer containing both 3d and 4f ions has been designed. Its chemical formula is La2[Cu(pba)]3(H2O)8 . 8H2O. It crystallizes in the quadratic system, space group I41/a with a = 42.4947(9) Angstrom, c = 16.3378(3) Angstrom, and Z = 16. Its crystal structure can be described as a 3-D molecular framework exhibiting a complex network of interconnected zigzaglike channels. Once crystallization water molecules are removed, this compound presents a high potential porosity and a low density. The porosity has been evaluated using Connolly's algorithm.     

Li24[MnN3]3N2 and Li5[(Li1-xMnx)N]3, two intermediates in the decomposition path of Li7[MnN4] to Li2[(Li1-xMnx)N]: an experimental and theoretical study

The crystal structure of Li7[Mn(V)N4] was re-determined. Isolated tetrahedral [Mn(V)N4](7-) ions are arranged with lithium cations to form a superstructure of the CaF2 anti-type (P4bar3n, No. 218, a = 956.0(1) pm, Z = 8). According to measurements of the magnetic susceptibility, the manganese (tetrahedral coordination) is in a d(2) S = 1 state. Thermal treatment of Li7[Mn(V)N4] under argon in the presence of elemental lithium at various temperatures leads to Li24[Mn(III)N3]3N2, Li5[(Li1-xMnx)N]3, and Li2[(Li1-xMn(I)x)N], respectively. Li24[Mn(III)N3]3N2 (P3bar1c, No. 163, a = 582.58(6) pm, c = 1784.1(3) pm, Z = 4/3) crystallizes in a trigonal unit cell, containing slightly, but significantly nonplanar trigonal [MnN3](6-) units with C3v symmetry. Measurements of the magnetic susceptibility reveal a d(4) S = 1 spin-state for the manganese (trigonal coordination). Nonrelativistic spin-polarized DFT calculations with different molecular models lead to the conclusion that restrictions in the Li-N substructure are responsible for the distortion from planarity of the [Mn(III)N3](6-). Li5[(Li1-xMnx)N]3 (x = 0.59(1), P6bar2m, No. 189, a = 635.9(3) pm, c = 381.7(2) pm, Z = 1) is an isotype of Li5[(Li1-xNix)N]3 with manganese in an average oxidation state of about +1.6. The crystal structure is a defect variant of the alpha-Li3N structure type with the transition metal in linear coordination by nitrogen. Li2[(Li1-xMn(I)x)N] (x = 0.67(1), P6/mmm, No. 191, a = 371.25(4) pm, c = 382.12(6) pm, Z = 1) crystallizes in the alpha-Li3N = Li2[LiN] structure with partial substitution of the linearly nitrogen-coordinated Li-species by manganese(I). Measurements of the magnetic susceptibility are consistent with manganese (linear coordination) in a low-spin d(6) S = 1 state.

Metal-metal interactions in heterobimetallic d8-d10 complexes. Structures and spectroscopic investigation of [M'M' '(mu-dcpm)2(CN)2]+ (M' = Pt,Pd; M' ' = Cu,Ag, Au) and related complexes by UV-vis absorption and resonance Raman spectroscopy and ab initio calculations

X-ray structural and spectroscopic properties of a series of heterodinuclear d(8)-d(10) metal complexes [M'M' '(mu-dcpm)(2)(CN)(2)](+) containing d(8) Pt(II), Pd(II), or Ni(II) and d(10) Au(I), Ag(I), or Cu(I) ions with a dcpm bridging ligand have been studied (dcpm = bis(dicyclohexylphosphino)methane; M' = Pt, M' ' = Au 4, Ag 5, Cu, 6; M' ' = Au, M' = Pd 7, Ni 8). X-ray crystal analyses showed that the metal...metal distances in these heteronuclear metal complexes are shorter than the sum of van der Waals radii of the M' and M' ' atoms. The UV-vis absorption spectra of 4-6 display red-shifted intense absorption bands from the absorption spectra of the mononuclear trans-[Pt(phosphine)(2)(CN)(2)] and [M' '(phosphine)(2)](+) counterparts, attributable to metal-metal interactions. The resonance Raman spectra confirmed assignments of (1)[nd(sigma)-->(n + 1)p(sigma)] electronic transitions to the absorption bands at 317 and 331 nm in 4 and 6, respectively. The results of theoretical calculations at the MP2 level reveal an attractive interaction energy curve for the skewed [trans-Pt(PH(3))(2)(CN)(2)-Au(PH(3))(2)(+)] dimer. The interaction energy of Pt(II)-Au(I) was calculated to be ca. 0.45 ev.     

Crystal Structure Analysis of Tetras[L-tris(ethylenediamine) cobalt(Ⅲ)] tris[hexacyanoruthenate(Ⅱ)]

1 INTRODUCTION The tris(ethylenediamine) cobalt (Ⅲ) complex in which there are L and D configurations is one of the very interest cations due to the chirality among research complexes and the characterization of reaction on the ion-pair charge-transfer transitions.

Novel metal-organic frameworks with specific topology from new tripodal ligands: 1,3,5-tris(1-imidazolyl)benzene and 1,3-bis(1-imidazolyl)-5-(imidazol-1-ylmethyl)benzene

Reactions of two new tripodal ligands 1,3,5-tris(1-imidazolyl)benzene (4) and 1,3-bis(1-imidazolyl)-5-(imidazol-1-ylmethyl)benzene (5) with metal [Ag(I), Cu(II), Zn(II), Ni(II)] salts lead to the formation of novel two-dimensional (2D) metal-organic frameworks [Ag(2)(4)(2)][p-C(6)H(4)(COO)(2)].H(2)O (6), [Ag(4)]ClO(4) (7), [Cu(4)(2)(H(2)O)(2)](CH(3)COO)(2).2H(2)O (8), [Zn(4)(2)(H(2)O)(2)](NO(3))(2) (9), [Ni(4)(2)(N(3))(2)].2H(2)O (10), and [Ag(5)]ClO(4) (11). All the structures were established by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Crystal data for 6: monoclinic, C2/c, a = 23.766(3) A, b = 12.0475(10) A, c = 13.5160(13) A, beta = 117.827(3) degrees, Z = 4. For compound 7: orthorhombic, P2(1)2(1)2(1), a = 7.2495(4) A, b = 12.0763(7) A, c = 19.2196(13) A, Z = 4. For compound 8: monoclinic, P2(1)/n, a = 8.2969(5) A, b = 12.2834(5) A, c = 17.4667(12) A, beta = 96.5740(10) degrees, Z = 2. For compound 9: monoclinic, P2(1)/n, a =10.5699(3) A, b = 11.5037(3) A, c = 13.5194(4) A, beta = 110.2779(10) degrees, Z = 2. For compound 10: monoclinic, P2(1)/n, a = 9.8033(3) A, b = 12.1369(5) A, c = 13.5215(5) A, beta = 107.3280(10) degrees, Z = 2. For compound 11: monoclinic C2/c, a = 18.947(2) A, b = 9.7593(10) A, c = 19.761(2) A, beta = 97.967(2) degrees, Z = 8. Both complexes 6 and 7 are noninterpenetrating frameworks based on the (6, 3) nets, and 8, 9 and 10 are based on the (4, 4) nets while complex 11 has a twofold parallel interpenetrated network with 4.8(2) topology. It is interesting that, in complexes 6,7, and 11 with three-coordinated planar silver(I) atoms, each ligand 4 or 5 connects three metal atoms, while in the case of complexes 8, 9, and 10 with six-coordinated octahedral metal atoms, each ligand 4 only links two metal atoms, and another imidazole nitrogen atom of 4 did not participate in the coordination with the metal atoms in these complexes. The results show that the nature of organic ligand and geometric needs of metal atoms have great influence on the structure of metal-organic frameworks.

The novel quaternary uranium thiophosphate K11U7(PS4)13 has been synthesized by reacting uranium metal, K2S, S, and P2S5 at 700 degrees C in an evacuated silica tube. The crystal structure was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction techniques. K11U7(PS4)13 crystallizes in the tetragonal space group I42d (a = 32.048(2) A, c = 17.321(1) A, Z = 8). The structure contains a tunnel framework composed of eight interlocking uranium U7(PS4)13 screw helices, with alkali metal cations residing inside the framework channels. The uranium atoms are coordinated in a bi- or tricapped trigonal prismatic fashion. The screw helices are built up from uranium atoms interconnected by PS4 tetrahedral units. Magnetic susceptibility measurements indicate modified Curie-Weiss-type behavior between 300 and 70 K, with an effective magnetic moment of 2.54 microB per U atom at room temperature and C = 3.78, theta = -14.54, chi 0 = 0.01. The isostructural compound Rb11U7(PS4)13 (a = 32.1641(11) A, c = 17.7244(9) A, Z = 8) was prepared by heating a mixture of the formal composition UPS5 in eutectic LiCl/RbCl melts at 700 degrees C.

Hydrothermal single-crystal growth in the systems Ag/Hg/X/O (X = VV, AsV): crystal structures of (Ag3Hg)VO4, (Ag2Hg2)3(VO4)4, and (Ag2Hg2)2(HgO2)(AsO4)2 with the unusual tetrahedral cluster cations (Ag3Hg)3+ and (Ag2Hg2)4+ and crystal structure of AgHgVO4

Single crystals of (Ag3Hg)VO4 (I), (Ag2Hg2)3(VO4)4 (II), AgHgVO4 (III), and (Ag2Hg2)2(HgO2)(AsO4)2 (IV) were grown under hydrothermal conditions (250 degrees C, 5 d) from starting mixtures of elementary mercury, silver nitrate, ammonium vanadate, and disodium hydrogenarsenate, respectively. All crystal structures were determined from X-ray diffraction data, and their chemical compositions were confirmed by electron microprobe analysis. I crystallizes in the tillmannsite structure, whereas II-IV adopt new structure types: (I) I4, Z = 2, a = 7.7095(2) A, c = 4.6714(2) A, 730 structure factors, 24 parameters, R[F2 > 2sigma(F2)] = 0.0365; (II) I42d, Z = 4, a = 12.6295(13) A, c = 12.566(3) A, 1524 structure factors, 55 parameters, R[F2 > 2sigma(F2)] = 0.0508; (III) C2, Z = 4, a = 9.9407(18) A, b = 5.5730(8) A, c = 7.1210(19) A, beta = 94.561(10) degrees , 1129 structure factors, 48 parameters, R[F2 > 2sigma(F2)] = 0.0358; (IV) P31c, Z = 2, a = 6.0261(9) A, c = 21.577(4) A, 1362 structure factors, 52 parameters, R[F2 > 2sigma(F2)] = 0.0477. The most striking structural features of I, II, and IV are the formation of tetrahedral cluster cations (Ag3Hg)3+ and (Ag2Hg2)4+, respectively, built of statistically distributed Ag and Hg atoms with a metal-metal distance of about 2.72 A. The electronic structure of these clusters can formally be considered as two-electron-four-center bonding. The crystal structure of III differs from the protrusive structure types insofar as silver and mercury are located on distinct crystallographic sites without a notable metal-metal interaction >3.55 A. All crystal structures are completed by tetrahedral oxo anions XO4(3-) (X = VV, AsV) and for IV additionally by a mercurate group, HgO2(2-).     

PEO基聚合物电解质及其锂硫电池性能研究

锂硫电池由于具有高的理论比能量引起了广泛关注,然而传统液态锂硫电池由于多硫化物的“穿梭效应”以及安全问题而限制了其应用,全固态锂硫电池可显著提高电池安全性能并有望解决多硫化物的穿梭问题. 本文采用传统的溶液浇铸法制备了具有不同的[EO]/[Li⁺]的PEO-LiTFSI聚合物电解质,并将其应用于锂硫电池. 研究发现,虽然[EO]/[Li⁺] = 8的聚合物电解质具有更高的离子电导率,但是[EO]/[Li⁺] = 20的电解质与金属锂负极间的界面阻抗更低,界面稳定性更好. Li|PEO-LiTFSI([EO]/[Li⁺]=20)|Li对称电池在60 °C,电流密度为0.1 mA·cm^-2时可稳定循环超过300 h,而Li|PEO-LiTFSI ([EO]/[Li⁺]=8)|Li对称电池循环75 h就出现了短路现象. 基于PEO-LiTFSI([EO]/[Li⁺]=20)电解质的锂硫电池首圈放电比容量为934 mAh·g^-1,循环16圈后放电比容量为917 mAh·g^-1以上. 而基于PEO-LiTFSI ([EO]/[Li⁺]=8)电解质的锂硫电池,由于与锂负极较低的界面稳定性不能够正常循环,首圈就出现了严重过充现象.     

Electronically driven structural distortions in lithium intercalates of the n = 2 Ruddlesden-Popper-type host Y2Ti2O5S2: synthesis, structure, and properties of LixY2Ti2O5S2 (0 < x < 2)

Lithium intercalation into the oxide slabs of the cation-deficient n = 2 Ruddlesden-Popper oxysulfide Y(2)Ti(2)O(5)S(2) to produce Li(x)Y(2)Ti(2)O(5)S(2) (0 < x < 2) is described. Neutron powder diffraction measurements reveal that at low levels of lithium intercalation into Y(2)Ti(2)O(5)S(2), the tetragonal symmetry of the host is retained: Li(0.30(5))Y(2)Ti(2)O(5)S(2), I4/mmm, a = 3.80002(2) A, c = 22.6396(2) A, Z = 2. The lithium ion occupies a site coordinated by four oxide ions in an approximately square planar geometry in the perovskite-like oxide slabs of the structure. At higher levels of lithium intercalation, the symmetry of the cell is lowered to orthorhombic: Li(0.99(5))Y(2)Ti(2)O(5)S(2), Immm, a = 3.82697(3) A, b = 3.91378(3) A, c = 22.2718(2) A, Z = 2, with ordering of Li(+) ions over two inequivalent sites. At still higher levels of lithium intercalation, tetragonal symmetry is regained: Li(1.52(5))Y(2)Ti(2)O(5)S(2), I4/mmm, a = 3.91443(4) A, c = 22.0669(3) A, Z = 2. A phase gap exists close to the transition from the tetragonal to orthorhombic structures (0.6 < x < 0.8). The changes in symmetry of the system with electron count may be considered analogous to a cooperative electronically driven Jahn-Teller type distortion. Magnetic susceptibility and resistivity measurements are consistent with metallic properties for x > 1, and the two-phase region is identified as coincident with an insulator to metal transition.     

Die Kristallstruktur von wasserfreiem Melaminiumchlorid

Crystal Structure of non‐aqueous Melaminium Chloride Melaminium chloride was obtained as colorless, needle‐shaped, single crystalline material from solid state reactions between melamin and ammonium chloride. The structure of [C₃N₆H₇]Cl was refined by single crystal X‐ray diffraction: I2/m, Z = 8, a = 852.87(4), b = 1704.4(1) c = 918.44(4) pm and β = 92.165(6)°. The crystal structure contains melaminium ions stacked to columns along [100] and linked via N‐H···N bridges to form bands along [001]. Both of the two distinct chloride ions are stabilized by six hydrogen bonds through distorted trigonal prismatic arrangements of hydrogen atoms to yield a supramolecular structure.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of Tetra（（8-quinolyl）-amido-N）ytterbium Bi（tetrahydrofuran-O）lithium

The treatment of the mixture of n-BuLi with 1 equiv.8-aminoquinoline in THF in situ,which reacted further with 1/3 equiv.of YbCl3 in THF,to give the homoleptic lanthanide amide ate complex Yb(NH-C9H6N)4Li(C4H8O)2(1).The crystal structure was determined by X-ray diffraction and the following crystallographic data were obtained:C44H44N8O2YbLi,Mr = 896.85,monoclinic,space group C2/c,a = 7.8384(16),b = 22.294(5),c = 22.668(5),β = 97.614(5)°,V = 3926.3(14)3,Z = 4,Dc = 1.517 g/cm3,F(000)= 1812,μ(MoKα)= 2.431 mm-1,R = 0.0542 and wR = 0.1523 for 3372 observed reflections with I > 2σ(I).The structure of molecule 1 consists of one ytterbium atom,one lithium atom,four 8-aminoquinoline ligands and two THF molecules.The ytterbium atom is coordinated by eight nitrogen atoms of four 8-aminoquinoline ligands,forming a distorted dodecahedral geometry.     

Synthesis, structure, chemical bonding, and magnetism of the series RELiGe2 (RE = La-Nd, Sm, Eu)

This article focuses on the synthesis and the crystal chemistry of six members of a series of rare-earth metal based germanides with general formula RELiGe(2) (RE = La-Nd, Sm, and Eu). The structures of these compounds have been established by single-crystal X-ray diffraction (CaLiSi(2) structure type, space group Pnma, Z = 4, Pearson symbol oP16). The chemical bonding within this atomic arrangement can be rationalized in terms of anionic germanium zigzag chains, conjoined via chains of edge-shared LiGe(4) tetrahedra and separated by rare-earth metal cations. The structure can also be viewed as an intergrowth of AlB(2)-like and TiNiSi-like fragments, or as the result of the replacement of 50% of the rare-earth metal atoms by lithium in the parent structure of the REGe monogermanides. Except for LaLiGe(2) and SmLiGe(2), the remaining four RELiGe(2) phases exhibit Curie-Weiss paramagnetism above about 50 K. In the low temperature regime, the localized 4f electrons in CeLiGe(2), PrLiGe(2), and SmLiGe(2) order ferromagnetically, while antiferromagnetic ordering is observed for NdLiGe(2) and EuLiGe(2). The calculated effective magnetic moments confirm RE(3+) ground states in all cases excluding EuLiGe(2), in which the magnetic response is consistent with Eu(2+) configuration (J = S = 7/2). The experimental results have been complemented by tight-binding linear muffin-tin orbital (TB-LMTO) band structure calculations.

The synthesis and molecular structure of a new dinuclear copper(Ⅰ) complex [Cu(dppb)(NO 3)] 2 are reported.The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic system,space group P2 1 /n with a=12.830(3),b=10.899(2),c=19.666 (4),β=104.69(3)°,V=2660.1(9)3,Z=4,D c=1.378 g/cm 3,F(000)=1144,the final R=0.0600 and wR=0.0668 for 2951 observed reflections with I > 2σ(Ⅰ).The complex contains a folded Cu 2 P 4 core structure,with two Cu(Ⅰ) atoms being bridged by a pair of dppb ligands to form a 14-membered Cu 2 P 4 C 8 zigzag ring.The ligand sphere of each metal center is completed by a nitrate anion in a chelating fashion.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of Bis(nitrate)- bis(N,N''''-dimethyl-N,N''''-dibenzenyl-urea)uranyl(Ⅱ)

1 INTRODUCTION Tri-butyl phosphate (TBP) has been widely used as the extraction reagent in U-Th fuel to separate uranium from thorium. But di-butyl phos- phate (DBP) and butyl phosphate (MBP), the radio- lytic products of TBP, exhibit some coordinated ability to the fission elements, such as Zr and Nb. The substitutes for TBP have being studied for several decades[1～4]. The physical and chemical properties of amides are similar to those of TBP and they selectively extract U(Ⅵ…
