Etude vibrationnelle des composes (C4H4P)Mn(CO)3 et [C4H2(CH3)2P]Mn(CO)3 et calcul du champ de force du cycle C4H4P complexe

The Raman and infrared spectra (4000200 cm^?1) of (C₄H₄P)Mn(CO)₃ and (C₄D₄P)Mn(CO)₃, and of [C₄H₂(CH₃)₂P]Mn(CO)₃ and [C₄D₂(CH₃)₂P]Mn(CO)₃ in the liquid and solid states (10–400 K) have been investigated. A complete vibrational assignment is proposed and valence force fields of the (C₅H₅) and (C₄H₄P) cycles are compared. From these results, it is clearly shown that the (C₄H₄P) rings are more electrophilic and weaker π-electron donors than (C₅H₅) rings, this is in agreement with their chemical behavior.     

Dissociation of OCS in liquid argon excited by an electron beam. Evidence of S(1S → 3P) and S2(B 3Σ−u → X 3Σ−g) emissions

Optical emission from e-beam excited liquid argon doped with OCS consists of a prominent S₂(B ³Σ^?_u → X ³Σ^?_g) band progression (v′ = 0 to v″ = 5–18 and v′ = 1 to v″ = 4–8), similar to the observation made in an argon matrix, but with a lesser red shift. The time decay of these bands exhibits a fast component (<0.5μs) and a long non-exponential one, extending to 1 ms, that appears to be due to recombination of S(³P) atoms: S(³P) + S(³P) → S₂(B ³Σ^?_u). Spectral study of the slow component (r > 5 μs) shows a peak at 456 nm identified as the S(¹S → ³P) transition. A possible mechanism for this behavior is discussed.     

Cation ordering in Ca2La8(SiO4)6O2

The distribution of La³⁺ and Ca²⁺ over the cation sites in Ca₂La₈(SiO₄)₆O₂ was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Ca₂La₈(SiO₄)₆O₂ has the apatite structure, and all available evidence indicates that the space group is $\text{P6}{}_3\text{m}$, thus precluding a completely ordered structure. The 6h lattice sites are occupied by La³⁺. In contrast, the 4f sites are occupied equally by La³⁺ and Ca²⁺ ions. Consideration of the properties of the La³⁺ and Ca²⁺ ions suggests that this distribution is thermodynamically favored for this composition. A simple Ising model suggests ordered columns. These would not be precluded by space group $\text{P6}{}_3\text{m}$, if the correlation between adjacent columns were random.     

H3N·PF5 and H2NPF5−, new compounds in the system H3N/PF5

Phosphorus pentafluoride was reported long ago to give adducts 2 PF₅ ·5 NH₃ (1) and nNH₃·PF₅ (n= 1 ? 4) (2). None of the compounds was characterised in detail. Repeating the reaction of PF₅ and NH₃ we found the adduct H₃N·PF₅, $\text{1}$, in 8% yield besides (H₂N) ₂PF₃ (3) and NH₄PF₆. However, HF and (F₂P=N)₃ gave $\text{1}$ in 41% yield. The ¹H, ¹⁹F, and ³¹P n.m.r. spectra of $\text{1}$ exhibit ¹⁴NH, ¹⁴NPF(cis), and ¹⁴NP coupling. The x-ray structure determination shows almost perfect octahedral geometry at phosphorus with a PN bond length of 1.842 ā. Compound $\text{1}$ is soluble in water without decomposition. Treatment with NH₃ leads to the anion H₂NPF₅^?. Upon heating $\text{1}$ forms in good yield H₂NPF₄ and NH₄PF₆. Without a solvent $\text{1}$ and NH₃ react to give (H₂N) ₂PF₃. A mechanism for the ammonolysis of PF₅ is proposed.     

Differential scanning calorimetry of RbH2PO4 and CsH2PO4

The high-temperature phase behaviour of RbH₂PO₄ and CsH₂PO₄ have been studied. RbH₂PO₄ undergoes a single quasi-irreversible phase transition with an enthalpy of 4.665 kJ mol^?1. The transition is found to occur over the temperature range 86–111°C. CsH₂PO₄ undergoes two transitions at 149 and 230°C. The lower one is quasi-irreversible and has an enthalpy of 4.284 kJ mol^?1. The one at 230°C is reversible and has an enthalpy of 1.071 kJ mol^?1.     

The crystal structure of Na7Mg4.5(P2O7)4

The crystal structure of Na₇Mg_4.5(P₂O₇)₄ has been solved by direct methods from the three-dimensional X-ray data. The space group is $\text{P}\text{1}$. The crystal structure consists of Mg²⁺, Na⁺, and P₂O^4?₇ ions. One magnesium atom at symmetry center (0,0,0) and two sodium atoms at ±(?0.0421, ?0.0596, 0.2230) display occupation factors 0.5 each. A short interatomic distance between these Na⁺ and Mg²⁺ ions (1.80 ± 0.01 Å) excludes the occupation of both sites in the same unit cell. The crystal structure of Na₇Mg_4.5(P₂O₇)₄ consists of unit cells containing Na₈Mg₄(P₂O₇)₄ or Na₆Mg₅(P₂O₇)₄ with a statistical occurrence 1:1.Each Mg²⁺ ion is octahedrally coordinated by six O^2? ions at distances 1.979 – 2.270 Å. The coordination polyhedra around the Na⁺ ions are ill-defined. The bond angles POP in the P₂O^4?₇ groups are 126.6 and 133.6° (±0.3°). The final reliability factor R is 7.1%.     

2-Phosphinothioyl- and 2-phosphinoylethylcyclopentadienyl zirconium and titanium complexes. Crystal structure of [η5:η1-C5H4CH2CH2P(O)Ph2]TiCl3

The intracomplex conversion of (2-diphenylphosphanoethyl)cyclopentadienyl zirconium and titanium complexes into the corresponding 2-phosphinothioyl and 2-phosphinoyl derivatives, viz., (η⁵-C₅H₅)[η ⁵-C₅H₄CH₂CH₂P(S)Ph₂]ZrCl₂, [η⁵-C₅H₄CH₂CH₂P(S)Ph₂]ZrCl₃, [η⁵:η¹C₅H₄CH₂CH₂P(O)Ph₂]ZrCl₃·THF, and [η⁵:η ¹-C₅H₄CH₂CH₂P(O)Ph₂]TiCl₃ (7), was performed. The NMR spectroscopy data revealed the following order of the coordination ability of the functional groups with respect to the Zr center: Ph₂P=O > Ph₂P > Ph₂P=S. An analogous order was found for the monodentate ligands (Ph₃P=O > Ph₃P > Ph₃P=S) with respect to (η⁵-C₅H₅)ZrCl₃. The molecular structure of complex 7 was established by X-ray diffraction analysis. Coordination of the Ph₂P=O group to the titanium atom was found retained both in the crystalline state and solution.__________Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Electronic transitions in Li4CoCl4.10H2O

The electronic spectrum of Li₄CoCl₆.10H₂O was recorded at liquid nitrogen temperature in the 4,000–25,000 cm^?1 spectral region. The simi larity of this spectrum to that of CoCl₂ permitted us to assume O_h syn metry of the [CoCl₆]^4? cluster in our sample. The band assignment was performed in the crystal field approximation using Tanabe and Sugano's energy matrices for Dq = 730 cm^?1, B = 820 cm^?1 and C/B = 4.4.The large number of bands and high intensity of the maxima in the regio 19,000–21,000 cm^?1 is discussed.     

Crystal and molecular structure of tricyclopentadienyltetrahydrofuranuranium(III), (η5-C5H5)3U·OC4H8

Tricyclopentadienyltetrahydrofuranuranium(III), (η⁵-C₅H₅)₃U·OC₄H₈, crystallizes in the centrosymmetric monoclinic space group P2₁/n with a 8.248(3), b 24.322(17), c 8.357(4) Å, β 101.29(5)°, V 1644.0 ų and ρ(calc) 2.04 g cm^?1 for Z = 4 and mol.wt. 595.0. Diffraction data (Mo-K_α, 2θ(max) 45°) were collected on an Enraf-Nonius CAD4 diffractometer and the structure was refined to R_w(F) 4.7% for those 1530 reflections having I > 2σ(I). The molecule consists of a distorted tetrahedral arrangement of THF and (η⁵-C₅H₅) ligands with CpUCp angles in the range 110.4–122.4° and CpUO angles between 90.2 and 106.0°. Individual uranium-carbon distances range from 2.76(2) to 2.82(2) Å and average 2.79[1] Å. The uranium-oxygen distance of 2.551(10) Å suggests a 10-coordinate U³⁺ radius of 1.20 Å in this class of compounds.     

Preparation and Ir, 31P,and 93Nb NMR spectroscopic investigation of phosphine derivatives of η5-C5H5Nb(CO)4

UV irradiation of η⁵-C₅H₅Nb(CO)₄ in the presence of the phosphine ligands L (L = 2 PEt₃, Ph₂P(CH₂)₂PPh₂ (p₂(n), n = 1–5), cis-Ph₂PCH=CHPPh₂ (c-dpe)), and the mixed arsine-phosphine ligands Ph₂AsCH₂CH₂PPh₂ (arphos) and o-C₆H₄(AsPh₂)(PPh₂) (pab) yields the well defined complexes cis-[η⁵-C₅H₅Nb(CO)₂L]. The monosubstituted species η⁵-C₅H₅Nb(CO)₃L have been characterized spectroscopically. P₂Ph₄ forms mono- and dinuclear, mono- and biligate carbonylniobium complexes.Shielding of the ⁹³Nb nucleus increases in the sequences (i) Ph₂As- < Ph₂P-, (ii) chelate 4-ring < chelate 5-ring and (iii) η⁵-C₅H₅Nb(CO)₂L < η⁵-C₅H₅Nb(CO)₃L < η⁵-C₅H₅Nb(CO)₄, and ³¹P coordination shifts decrease in the order c-dpe > pab > arphos > p₂(2) > p₂(5) > p₂(4) ～ PEt₃ > p₂(3) > p₂(1). The trends generally parallel those for the corresponding NMR parameters of the vanadium complexes. Paramagnetic contributions to the overall shielding are smaller for the ⁹³Nb than for the ⁵¹V nucleus, and this is explained in terms of increased covalency and decreased π-interaction in the niobium complexes.     

Magnetic behavior of tetrahedral Cr4+ compounds: Sr2CrO4, Ba2CrO4, and Ba3CrO5

The preparation of the compounds Sr₂CrO₄, Ba₂CrO₄, and Ba₃CrO₅ is described. The characterization of these three Cr⁴⁺ compounds by X-ray and magnetic susceptibility experiments has been conducted. The magnetic moments for Sr₂CrO₄, Ba₂CrO₄, and Ba₃CrO₅ were determined to be in good agreement with the calculated value expected for a tetrahedral Cr⁴⁺ ion. Weak antiferromagnetic ordering for all three compounds is indicated from the small paramagnetic Weiss constants determined from the susceptibility data in the temperature region 80–300 K. Distortions of the tetrahedra from ideality, as determined from the structural features, further cause a reduction in the magnetic moments from the theoretical values.     

偏硼酸锶催化剂光催化还原CO2合成CH4

采用溶胶-凝胶法制备出偏硼酸锶(SrB₂O₄)光催化剂. 紫外光催化还原CO₂合成CH₄(在液相水中)的实验证明: SrB₂O₄催化剂的光催化活性略高于TiO₂(P25). 利用X射线电子衍射谱(XRD)、傅里叶变换红外(FTIR)光谱、X射线光电子能谱(XPS)、透射电子显微镜(TEM)、荧光(PL)光谱和紫外-可见(UV-Vis)漫反射吸收光谱等技术, 研究了SrB₂O₄ 催化剂的晶体结构、形貌和能带结构. 结果表明: SrB₂O₄ 的价带为2.07 V (vs normalhydrogen electrode (NHE)), 低于(H₂O/H⁺)的氧化还原电位E_redox^o (0.82 V (vs NHE)); 而导带为-1.47 V (vsNHE), 高于(CO₂/CH₄)的氧化还原电位E_redox^o (-0.24 V (vs NHE)). 因此, SrB₂O₄催化剂可以有效地光催化还原CO₂生成CH₄. 与TiO₂(P25)相比, SrB₂O₄催化剂具有相对较高导带, 光生电子的还原能力强于TiO₂(P25), 更有利于CH₄的生成, 从而决定了SrB₂O₄催化剂光催化还原CO₂合成CH₄具有较高的光催化活性.     

Syntheses and reactions of [η5-CH3C5H4Cr(CO)3]2

The complexes [η⁵-CH₃C₅H₄Cr(CO)₃]₂ have been prepared, and their reactions with trivalent phosphorus ligands L (L = Ph₃P, (MeO)₃P, (EtO)₃P) shown to give [η⁵-CH₃C₅H₄Cr(CO)₂L]₂ complexes.     

Chemistry in fuming nitric acids—I. NMR spectroscopic study of PF5, HPO2F2 and P4O10 in the solvent system 44 wt.% N2O4 in 100% HNO3

³¹P and ¹⁹F NMR spectroscopy has been used to elucidate the nature of the interaction of PF₅, HPO₂F₂ and P₄O₁₀ with the solvent system 44 wt.% N₂O₄ in 100% HNO₃ (“High Density Acid”, HDA). PF₅ generates the species PF₆^?, HPO₂F₂ and HF (with some H₂PO₃F present as a minor product). HPO₂F₂ gives rise to H₂PO₃F and HF (with smaller amounts of PF₆ also present). The ³¹P NMR spectrum of P₄O₁₀ in HDA exhibits four resonances assigned to P(OH)₄⁺, H₄P₂O₇, (HPO₃)₄ and a mixture of cyclic and branched phosphoric acids, respectively.     

Magnetic susceptibility and torque measurements of FeV2S4, FeV2Se4 and FeTi2Se4

Magnetic susceptibility and torque measurements of FeV₂S₄, FeV₂Se₄ and FeTi₂Se₄ were made using the powder and the single crystal samples. The inverse susceptibility of FeV₂S₄, FeV₂Se₄ and FeTi₂Se₄ changed its slope at 850, 820 and 700 K, respectively, at which temperature the order-disorder transition of cation vacancies should seem to take place. Above these temperatures the paramagnetic moment obtained for these compounds was in the range of 5.26–5.37 μ_B, close to that of the high spin state Fe²⁺. Below these temperatures the paramagnetic moment was reduced to 4.23–4.35 μ_B.The antiferromagnetic spin axis of FeV₂S₄ was in the neighborhood of the [101] direction and that of FeV₂Se₄ and FeTi₂Se₄ in the direction of the c-axis. The large magnetic anisotropy observed and the preference of the magnetic moments for the direction of the c-axis were attributed to the spin-orbit interaction of Fe²⁺ electrons in the trigonal crystal field.     

35Cl NQR in N3P3Cl4Ph2 and N3P3Cl4(NMe2)2

³⁵Cl NQR has been investigated in two cyclotriphosphazene derivatives N₃P₃Cl₄Ph₂ and N₃P₃Cl₄(NMe₂)₂. The observed frequencies are assigned to the various chlorines and the temperature variation of the NQR frequencies studied in the range from 77 K to 300 K. The results are analysed using the Bayer-Kushida-Brown approach. Torsional (librational) frequencies are found to fall in the range 10–25 cm^?1 and are found to be only slightly temperature dependent.     

Reactions of Mo(II)-tetraphosphine complex [MoCl2{meso-o-C6H4(PPhCH2CH2PPh2)2}] with a series of small molecules

Reactions of Mo(II)-tetraphosphine complex [MoCl₂(κ⁴-P4)] (2; P4 = meso-o-C₆H₄(PPhCH₂CH₂PPh₂)₂) with a series of small molecules have been investigated. Thus, treatment of 2 with alkynes RCCR′ (R = Ph, R′ = H; R = p-tolyl, R′ = H; R = Me, R′ = Ph) in benzene or toluene gave neutral mono(alkyne) complexes [MoCl₂(RCCR′)(κ³-P4)] containing tridentate P4 ligand, which were converted to cationic complexes [MoCl(RCCR′)(κ⁴-P4)]Cl having tetradentate P4 ligand upon dissolution into CDCl₃ or CD₂Cl₂. The latter complexes were available directly from the reactions of 2 with the alkynes in CH₂Cl₂. On the other hand, treatment of 2 with 1 equiv. of XyNC (Xy = 2,6-Me₂C₆H₃) afforded a seven-coordinate mono(isocyanide) complex [MoCl₂(XyNC)(κ⁴-P4)] (7), which reacted further with XyNC to give a cationic bis(isocyanide) complex [MoCl(XyNC)₂(κ⁴-P4)]Cl (8). From the reaction of 2 with CO, a mono(carbonyl) complex [MoCl₂(CO)(κ⁴-P4)] (9) was obtained as a sole isolable product. Reaction of 9 with XyNC afforded [MoCl(CO)(XyNC)(κ⁴-P4)]Cl (10a) having a pentagonal-bipyramidal geometry with axial CO and XyNC ligands, whereas that of 7 with CO resulted in the formation of a mixture of 10a and its isomer 10b containing axial CO and Cl ligands. Structures of 7 and 9 as well as [MoCl(XyNC)₂(κ⁴-P4)][PF₆](8′) and [MoCl(CO)(XyNC)(κ⁴-P4)][PF₆] (10a′) derived by the anion metathesis from 8 and 10a, respectively, were determined in detail by the X-ray crystallography.     

Carbonylvanadium complexes of the tripod ligands MeC(CH2PPh2)3 and P(CH2CH2PPh2)3

UV irradiation of [Et₄N] [V(CO)₆] in the presence of the tripod ligands (L) MeC(CH₂PPh₂)₃ (cp₃) and P(CH₂CH₂PPh₂)₃ (pp₃) yields [Et₄N] [V(CO)₅L], cis-[Et₄N] [V(CO)₄L] and mer-[Et₄N] [V(CO)₃L] (where the meridional configuration for L = cp₃ is uncertain). Except for [Et₄N] [V(CO)₅cp₃], all these species were isolated. The complexes are characterized by their IR, ³¹P and ⁵¹V NMR spectra.     

Non-random cation distribution in hexagonal Al0.5Ga0.5PO4

Based on powder X-ray diffraction and ³¹P Magic Angle Spinning Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (MAS NMR) investigations of mixed phosphate Al_0.5Ga_0.5PO₄, prepared by co-precipitation method followed by annealing at 900 °C for 24 h, it is shown that Al_0.5Ga_0.5PO₄ phase crystallizes in hexagonal form with lattice parameter a=0.491(2) and c=1.106(4) nm. This hexagonal phase of Al_0.5Ga_0.5PO₄ is similar to that of pure GaPO₄. The ³¹P MAS NMR spectrum of the mixed phosphate sample consists of five peaks with systematic variation of their chemical shift values and is arising due to existence of P structural units having varying number of the Al³⁺/Ga³⁺ cations as the next nearest neighbors in the solid solution. Based on the intensity analysis of the component NMR spectra of Al_0.5Ga_0.5PO₄, it is inferred that the distribution of Al³⁺ and Ga³⁺ cations is non-random for the hexagonal Al_0.5Ga_0.5PO₄ sample although XRD patterns showed a well-defined solid solution formation.     

Electronic structure and reactivity of PO 43? , P2O 74? phosphate and SO 42? , S2O 72? sulfate anions

Group-theoretical analysis and molecular orbital methods were used to obtain (in analytical form) the electronic structure and reactivity of the PO ₄ ³⁻ , SO ₄ ²⁻ and P₂O ₇ ⁴⁻ , S₂O ₇ ²⁻ anions. The reactivity of the anions is dictated by the availability of lone electron pairs on the top quasidegenerate MOs in the form of linear combinations of group orbitals from atomic orbitals (AOs) of peripheral oxygen atoms for PO ₄ ³⁻ , SO ₄ ²⁻ and the central (bridging) atom for P₂O ₇ ⁴⁻ , S₂O ₇ ²⁻ . These electron pairs are responsible for the donor-acceptor interactions during complexation, clustering, and other (addition, substitution, etc.) reactions. Original Russian Text Copyright ? 2005 V.
