Determination of the homogeneity range and refinement of the crystal structure of Fe2P

The homogeneity range of Fe₂P has been determined using the annealing and quenching technique in combination with X-ray powder diffraction methods. The iron-rich limit is invariant at Fe_2.00P for temperatures up to 1150°C. The phosphorus-rich limit varies from Fe_2.00P at low temperatures to Fe_1.94P at 1100°C. The crystal structure of Fe_2.00P has been refined from X-ray diffraction data obtained by single-crystal diffractometry. The thermal vibrations differ appreciably in magnitude for the two non-equivalent types of iron atom.     

Ni2P负载量对Ni2P/Ce-Al2O3催化剂结构及萘加氢性能的影响

采用程序升温还原法制备了一系列Ni₂P/Ce-Al₂O₃催化剂,考察了制备过程中Ni₂P负载量对催化剂结构及萘加氢饱和性能的影响。结果表明,Ni₂P负载量可调控活性组分Ni₂P与载体Ce-Al₂O₃之间的相互作用,进而调变催化剂的比表面积、Ni₂P粒径及催化剂活性位点数量。当Ni₂P负载量（质量分数）为17%时,催化剂具有较大的比表面积（40 m²/g）、较小的Ni₂P粒径（26.3 nm）和最多的活性位点数量（26.7 μmol/g）;同时,该催化剂萘转化率为95%,十氢萘选择性为76%,且活性稳定性良好,这主要归因于催化剂大的比表面积和高的活性位点数量为反应提供了更多的场所。     

Crystal structure of Fe2P2O7

Fe₂P₂O₇ crystallizes in the $\text{C}\text{1}$ space group with lattice parameters a = 6.649(2)Å, b = 8.484(2)Å, c = 4.488(1)Å, α = 90.04°, β = 103.89(3)°, γ = 92.82(3)°, and ?_cal = 3.86 g/cc. It is essentially isostructural with β-Zn₂P₂O₇. As in the Zn compound, the bridging oxygen atom in the P₂O₇ group shows a high anisotropic thermal motion. It appears that the P-O-P bond angle is linear as a result of extensive π bonding with the p orbitals on the bridging oxygen atom. The high thermal motion is vibration of the atom into cavities in the structure.     

Ni2P加氢脱硫催化剂

环境法规对硫氧化物脱出的限制日益严格以及原油品质的不断下降,使得有必要研发高效的加氢脱硫催化剂。Ni2P由于具有优异的加氢脱硫活性和稳定性,引起了广泛的关注。本文综述了Ni2P加氢脱硫催化剂的特性、反应活性相、制备方法、改进和加氢脱硫活性等方面的研究进展。在Ni2P中存在两种不同的初始活性位,四面体几何构型的Ni(1)初始活性位在加氢脱硫反应中参与直接脱硫反应,四方锥几何构型的Ni(2)初始活性位则与催化剂的高加氢活性有关。在加氢脱硫反应中,催化剂表面生成的NixSyP相被认为是真正的活性相。制备Ni2P的方法主要是程序升温还原和液相合成。载体、助剂和络合剂对Ni2P活性相的形成和催化剂的活性有重要影响。相比于商用硫化物催化剂,Ni2P催化剂对噻吩、二苯并噻吩和4,6-二甲基二苯并噻吩均表现出更高的加氢脱硫活性。     

Synthesis, structure, and magnetic properties of Ba2Cu2US5

The alkaline-earth uranium chalcogenide Ba₂Cu₂US₅ was obtained in a two-step reaction from BaS, Cu₂S, and US₂. Ba₂Cu₂US₅ crystallizes in a new structure type in space group C2/m of the monoclinic system with two formula units in a cell of dimensions a=13.606(3) Å, b=4.0825(8) Å, c=9.3217(19) Å, and β=116.32(3)° (153 K). The structure consists of layers separated by Ba atoms in bicapped trigonal-prismatic coordination. The two-dimensional layer is built from US₆ octahedra and CuS₄ tetrahedra. The connectivity of the MS_n polyhedra within the layer in the [001] direction is oct tet tet oct tet tet. A μ_eff value of 2.69(2) μ_B/U was obtained from the magnetic susceptibility data. No magnetic transition was observed for Ba₂Cu₂US₅ down to 2 K.     

Synthesis, structure and magnetic properties of porous magnetic composite, based on MCM-41 molecular sieve with Fe3O4 nanoparticles

Porous magnetic composites were prepared by the synthesis of molecular sieve MCM-41 in the presence of Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles with average diameter of 15 nm. Nanoparticles were captured by porous silica matrix MCM-41, which resulted in their incorporation, as it was confirmed by TEM, SEM and X-ray diffraction. The materials possessed high surface area (392-666 m² g⁻¹), high pore volume (0.39-0.73 cm³ g⁻¹) along with high magnetic response (M_S up to 28.4 emu g⁻¹ at 300 K). Calcination of samples resulted in partial oxidation of Fe₃O₄ to α-Fe₂O₃. The influence of nanoparticles content on sorption and magnetic properties of the composites was shown. No hysteresis was found for the samples at 300 K; at 5 K, H_C was in the range 370-385 G for non-calcinated samples and 350-356 G for calcinated ones.     

Synthesis and structural behavior of the P-functional organotin chlorides [Ph2P(CH2)3]2SnCl2, Ph2P(CH2)3SnCl2Me, and Ph2P(CH2)nSnCl3 (n=2, 3)

The P-functional organotin dichloride [Ph₂P(CH₂)₃]₂SnCl₂ (3) is synthesized by reaction of Ph₂P(CH₂)₃MgCl with SnCl₄ independently of the molar ratio of the starting compounds. The corresponding organotin trichlorides Ph₂P(CH₂)_nSnCl₂R (4: n=2, R=Cl; 5: n=3, R=Cl; 6: n=3, R=Me) are formed in a cleavage reaction of Ph₂P(CH₂)_nSnCy₃ (n=2, 3) with SnCl₄ or MeSnCl₃, respectively. The main features of the crystal structures of 3–6 are both intra- and intermolecular PSn coordinations and the existence of intermolecular Sn---ClSn bridges. For further characterization of the title compounds, the adducts 4(Ph₃PO)₂ (7) and 5(Ph₃PO) (8), as well as the P-oxides and P-sulfides of 3–6 (9–15), are synthesized. The results of crystal structure analyses of 7, 11, 12, and 14 are reported. The structures of 9–15 are characterized by intramolecular P=XSn interactions (X=O, S). A first insight into the structural behavior of the compounds 3–15 in solution is discussed on the basis of multinuclear NMR data.     

Synthesis, structure, and magnetic and electronic properties of Cs2Hg2USe5

The compound Cs₂Hg₂USe₅ was obtained from the solid-state reaction of U, HgSe, Cs₂Se₃, Se, and CsI at 1123 K. This material crystallizes in a new structure type in space group P2/n of the monoclinic system with a cell of dimensions a=10.276(6) Å, b=4.299(2) Å, c=15.432(9) Å, β=101.857(6) Å, and V=667.2(6) Å³. The structure contains layers separated by Cs atoms. Within the layers are distorted HgSe₄ tetrahedra and regular USe₆ octahedra. In the temperature range of 25-300 K Cs₂Hg₂USe₅ displays Curie-Weiss paramagnetism with μ_eff=3.71(2) μ_B. The compound exhibits semiconducting behavior in the [010] direction; the conductivity at 298 K is 3×10⁻³ S/cm. Formal oxidation states of Cs/Hg/U/Se may be assigned as +1/+2/+4/− 2, respectively.     

Second order incommensurate phase transition in 25L-Ta2O5

A new structural state 25L-Ta₂O₅, obtained from sintering and annealing treatments of a Ta₂O₅ powder, is identified both by electron diffraction and high resolution imaging on a transmission electron microscope (TEM). According to general rules for the different L-Ta₂O₅ structures proposed by Grey et al. (J. Solid State Chem. 178 (2005) 3308), a structural model is derived from their crystallographic data on 19L-Ta₂O₅. This model yields simulated images in agreement with high resolution TEM observations of the structure oriented along its [001] zone axis, but only for a very thin crystal thickness of less than 1.2 nm. Such a limitation is shown to be due to a modulation of the structure along its [001] axis. Actually, from an analysis of a diffuse scattering and of its evolution into satellites reflections as a function of the cooling rate, a second order incommensurate phase transition can be assumed to occur in this compound. The property of single phase samples observed by TEM is also verified by X-ray powder diffraction. In a discussion about studies performed by different authors on incommensurate structures in the system Ta₂O₅-WO₃, it is noticed that TEM results, similar to ours, indicate that phase transitions could be expected in these structures.     

Hydrothermal synthesis, structural characterization and magnetic studies of the new pillared microporous ammonium Fe(III) carboxyethylphosphonate: [NH4][Fe2(OH){O3P(CH2)2CO2}2]

The preparation by hydrothermal reaction and the crystal structure of the iron(III) carboxyethylphosphonate of formula [NH₄][Fe₂(OH){O₃P(CH₂)₂CO₂}₂] is reported. The green-yellow compound crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group Pc(n.7), with the following unit-cell parameters: a=7.193(3) Å, b=9.776(3) Å, c=10.17(4) Å and β=94.3(2)°. It shows a typical layered hybrid organic-inorganic structure featuring an alternation of organic and inorganic layers along the a-axis of the unit cell. The bifunctional ligand [O₃P(CH₂)₂CO₂]³⁻ is deprotonated and acts as a linker between adjacent inorganic layers, to form pillars along the a-axis. The inorganic layers are made up of dinuclear Fe(III) units, formed by coordination of the metal ions with the oxygen atoms originating from the [O₃P−]²⁻ end of the carboxyethylphosphonate molecules, the oxygen atoms of the [−CO₂]⁻ end group of a ligand belonging to the adjacent layer and the oxygen atom of the bridged OH group. Each Fe(III) ion is six-coordinated in a very distorted octahedral environment. Within the dimer the Fe-Fe separation is found to be 3.5 Å, and the angle inside the [Fe(1)-O(11)-Fe(2)] dimers is ∼124°. The resulting 3D framework contains micropores delimited by four adjacent dimers in the (bc) planes of the unit cell. These holes develop along the a-direction as tunnel-like pores and [NH₄]⁺ cations are located there. The presence of the μ-hydroxo-bridged [Fe(1)-O(11)-Fe(2)] dimers in the lattice is also responsible for the magnetic behavior of the compound at low temperatures. The compound contains Fe³⁺ ions in the high-spin state and the two Fe(III) ions are antiferromagnetic coupled. The J/k value of −16.3 K is similar to those found for other μ-hydroxo-bridged Fe(III) dimeric systems having the same geometry.     

Coordination and bonding in Fe3PTi3PV3STa3As-type compounds: The crystal structures of Hf3Sb and h-Ta3Ge

Interatomic distances in Hf₃Sb and h-Ta₃Ge (Fe₃P-type structure, space group $\text{I}\text{4}\text{, Z = 8}$) have been determined by crystal structure refinements based on Rietveld-type full-profile analyses of Guinier-H:agg X-ray powder film intensity data. The results, together with data from the recently refined Hf₃As and Ta₃As structures, are included in a survey of coordination and bonding in Fe₃PTi₃PV₃STa₃As-type compounds. It is shown that the trends in atomic coordination observed can be explained in terms of an interplay of d-d and d-p electronic interactions.     

Synthesis, crystal structure and characterization of iron pyroborate (Fe2B2O5) single crystals

Single crystals of iron(II) pyroborate, Fe₂B₂O₅, were prepared at 1000–1050 °C under an argon atmosphere. The crystals were transparent, yellowish in color and needle-like or columnar. The crystal structure of Fe₂B₂O₅ was analyzed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Refined triclinic unit cell parameters were a=3.2388(2), b=6.1684(5), c=9.3866(8) Å, α=104.613(3)°, β=90.799(2)° and γ=91.731(2)°. The final reliability factors of refinement were R1=0.020 and wR2=0.059 [I > 2σ(I)]. Transmittance over 50% in the visible light region from 500 to 750 nm was observed for a single crystal of Fe₂B₂O₅ with a thickness of about 0.3 mm. The light absorption edge estimated from a diffuse reflectance spectrum was at around 350 nm (3.6 eV). Magnetic susceptibility was measured for single crystals at 4–300 K. Fe₂B₂O₅ showed antiferromagnetic behavior below the Néel temperature, T_N≈70 K, and the Weiss temperature was T_W=36 K. The effective magnetic moment of Fe was 5.3μ_B.     

H2S预处理对Ni2P/SiO2催化剂结构及氯苯加氢脱氯性能的影响

采用10% H₂S/H₂对Ni₂P/SiO₂催化剂进行预处理,利用X射线衍射、电感耦合等离子发射光谱、X射线光电子能谱、CO化学吸附、H₂程序升温脱附、NH₃程序升温脱附及活性评价等方法研究了H₂S预处理对催化剂结构和氯苯加氢脱氯反应性能的影响.结果表明,即使在873K进行H₂S预处理,Ni₂P/SiO₂催化剂体相结构及Ni₂P晶粒大小没有发生变化,但导致Ni₂P晶粒表面形成了磷硫镍相(NiP_xS_y),同时使表面溢流氢数量增加.硫物种的存在不仅阻塞了部分镍中心,使催化剂表面镍中心密度降低,也导致镍中心的缺电子性进一步增加.经H₂S预处理后Ni₂P/SiO₂催化剂上氯苯加氢脱氯反应的转化频率(TOF)明显提高,这可能与催化剂表面Ni物种的缺电子性增强及溢流氢数量增多有关.     

制备方法对Ni2P/SiO2催化剂结构及萘加氢性能的影响

采用程序升温还原法和次磷酸盐歧化法制备了Ni_2P/SiO_2催化剂,结合现代仪器分析表征技术,研究了制备方法对Ni_2P/SiO_2催化剂结构和萘加氢性能的影响。结果表明,两种方法均可制备出仅含Ni_2P活性相的Ni_2P/SiO_2催化剂,在反应温度340℃、氢气压力4 MPa、空速为20.8 h~(-1)下,程序升温还原法制备的Ni_2P/SiO_2催化剂表现出更高的萘加氢活性,这主要是因为程序还原法制备的Ni_2P/SiO_2催化剂中有更多Ni_2P物种生成,提供了较多的活性位点(CO吸附量21.6μmol/g);且催化剂表面弱酸位点多,有利于芳烃吸附。当选用程序升温还原法制备Ni_2P/SiO_2催化剂时,在保证生成纯相Ni_2P的前提下,较低的Ni/P比更有利于合成高加氢活性的Ni_2P/SiO_2催化剂。     

Controlled morphology synthesis of β-FeOOH and the phase transition to Fe2O3

The hexagram and arrayed β-FeOOH nanorods were first synthesized free of surfactants through the solvent-thermal method. X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), selected area electron diffraction (SAED), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectrum (EDAX) and thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) were used to characterize the as-prepared products. The TEM and FESEM images showed that hexagram β-FeOOH and arrayed rod-like β-FeOOH with an average diameter of 10-15 nm and an average length of 100 nm (aspect ratio is about 10) were prepared. Electrochemical tests show that these nanorods deliver a large discharge capacity of 277 mA h g⁻¹ versus Li metal at 0.1 mA cm⁻² (voltage at 1.5-4.2 V). Treated the as-synthesized rod-like β-FeOOH by annealing, rhombus hematite was obtained.

The crystal structure was determined by Rietveld method, indicating that PbCo₂V₂O₈ has a tetragonal structure of space group I41cd with a spiral chain along the c-axis. Magnetic properties of the titled compound were investigated by means of susceptibility, magnetization, and heat capacity measurements. The results show that PbCo₂V₂O₈ is a quasi-one-dimensional canted antiferromagnet with Neel temperature of ∼4 K, being consistent with its crystal structure.     

Synthesis, structure and magnetic properties of Na6Co2O6

Na₆Co₂O₆ was synthesized via the azide/nitrate route by reaction between NaN₃, NaNO₃ and Co₃O₄. Stoichiometric mixtures of the starting materials were heated in a special regime up to 500°C and annealed at this temperature for 50 h in silver crucibles. Single crystals have been grown by subsequent annealing of the reaction product at 500°C for 500 h in silver crucibles, which were sealed in glass ampoules under dried Ar. According to the X-ray analysis of the crystal structure (, Z=1, a=5.7345(3), b=5.8903(3), c=6.3503(3) Å, α=64.538(2), β=89.279(2), γ=85.233(2)°, 1006 independent reflections, R₁=8.34% (all data)), cobalt is tetrahedrally coordinated by oxygen. Each two CoO₄ tetrahedra are linked through a common edge forming Co₂O₆^6- anions. Cobalt ions within the dimers, being in a high spin state (S=2), are ferromagnetically coupled (J=17 cm^-1). An intercluster spin exchange (zJ′=−4.8 cm^-1) plays a significant role below 150 K and leads to an antiferromagnetically ordered state below 30 K. Heat capacity exhibits a λ-type anomaly at this temperature and yields a value of 19.5 J/mol K for the transition entropy, which is in good agreement with the theoretical value calculated for the ordering of the ferromagnetic-coupled dimers. In order to construct a model for the spin interactions in Na₆Co₂O₆, the magnetic properties of Na₅CoO₄ have been measured. This compound features isolated CoO₄ tetrahedra and shows a Curie-Weiss behavior (μ=5.14 μ_B, Θ=−20 K) down to 15 K. An antiferromagmetic ordering is observed in this compound below 10 K.

Crystal structure, magnetic properties and conductivity of CuSbTeO3Cl2

CuSbTeO₃Cl₂ has been isolated during an investigation of the system Cu₂O:TeCl₄:Sb₂O₃:TeO₂. The new compound is light yellow and crystallises in the monoclinic system, space group C2/m, a=20.333(5) Å, b=4.0667(9) Å, c=10.778(2) Å, Z=6. The structure is layered and is built up from corner and edge sharing [(Sb,Te)O₄E] trigonal bipyramids that have the lone pair (E) directed towards one of the equatorial positions, those groups build up [(Sb,Te)₂O₃E₂⁺]_n layers. The copper and the chlorine atoms are located in between those layers. There are two different Cu positions. The [Cu1Cl₄] group is a slightly distorted tetrahedron and these tetrahedra make up chains by corner sharing. The electron density for the half occupied Cu2 atom is spread out in the structure like a worm that run along the b-axis in the space in between two chains of [Cu1Cl₄] tetrahedrons. Analysis of the diamagnetic response in magnetic susceptibility measurements is in perfect agreement with a Cu⁺ valence. Conductivity measurements in the temperature range 355–590 K gives an activation energy of 0.55 eV. The delocalised Cu2 position in the structure suggests that the compound is a Cu⁺ ionic conductor along the b-axis.
