Cation distribution in (M′, M)3Se4: II. (V,Ti)3Se4 and (Cr,V)3Se4

The cation distribution among the two crystallographic cation sites of the Cr₃S₄ structure was determined in VTi₂Se₄ and VCr₂Se₄ by high-resolution neutron diffraction, using Rietveld analysis. The results showed a considerable disorder but they nevertheless revealed the site preference of V atoms for the 2(a) site in both compounds. The compositional changes of the lattice parameters and the transition temperatures to the CdI₂-type structure in (V_xTi_1−x)₃Se₄ and (Cr_xV_1−x)₃Se₄ were compared with those in (Cr_xTi_1−x)₃Se₄ and (Fe_xCr_1−x)₃Se₄, and discussed from the viewpoint of the site preference of the cation.     

α-Na3M2(PO4)3 (M = Ti, Fe): absolute cationic ordering in NASICON-type phases

The structure of the fully ordered α-Na(3)Ti(2)(PO(4))(3) NASICON compound was elucidated using high-quality single-crystal data. The cation/vacancy distribution forms a homogeneous 3D arrangement and could represent the absolute cationic ordering available in the full Na(3)M(2)(PO(4))(3) series, as verified for M = Fe. For M = Ti, the reversible α → γ transition was observed at 85 °C, leading to the standard disordered R ?3c γ model. Through JPDF analysis, the most probable Na(+) zigzag M(2)-M(1) diffusion scheme was directly deduced using our accurate crystallographic data.     

Cation distribution in Ni-substituted Mn-ferrites by Mössbauer technique

The neutron spectra of one outer (#10) and two inner (#2 and #3) sites of the Dalhousie University SLOWPOKE-2 reactor (DUSR) have been calibrated for the k ₀-based neutron activation analysis (k ₀-NAA). The parameters determined include the cadmium ratio (R _Cd), epithermal neutron flux shape factor (), subcadmium-to-epithermal neutron flux ratio (f), thermal-to-fast neutron flux ratio (f _F), modified spectral index r()(T_n/T₀)^1/2, Westcott g _Lu(T _n)-factor, and absolute neutron temperature (T _n). The a-values of -0.0098±0.0045 and -0.0425±0.0047 and -0.0422±0.0053 and f-values of 57.1±2.2 and 18.8±0.4 and 18.9±0.4 were obtained for the sites #10, #2 and #3, respectively. The modified spectral index (MSI), g _Lu(T _n)-factor, and T _n have been determined for the handling of non 1/v (n,) reactions. The accuracy of the method was evaluated by analyzing reference materials.     

Synthesis of 3,4-Biheterylthieno[2,3-b]-thiophenes. Part I: Synthesis of 3,4-Bi(1′,3′,4′-thiadiazolyl-, s-triazolyl-,1′,3′,4′-thiadiazinyl-, 1′,3′,4′-triazinyl-, thiazolyl-, 1′,3′-thiazinyl- and primidinyl)-thieno[2,3-b]thiophenes

3,4-Diamino-2,5-dicarbethoxythieno[2,3-b]thiophene ( 1 ) was allowed to react with NaNO 2 and active methylenes to afford the corresponding azo compounds 2a-c . Hydrazonyl chloride 2a was treated with carbon disulfide, phenyl isothiocyanate, benzonitrile, benzyl cyanide, malononitrile, benzalaniline, ethyl mercaptoacetate, and ethyl glycinate to give 1,3,4-thiadiazolyl-, s-triazolyl-, 1,3,4-thiadiazinyl-, 1,3,4-triazinylthieno[2,3-b]thiophenes 3-6 respectively. The reaction of 2b,c with urea, thiourea, and guanidine afforded pyrimidinyl- and thiazinylazothieno [2,3-b]thiophenes 7-10 respectively. Bithiazolylthieno[2,3-b]thiophenes 11 and 13 were synthesized by treating compound 1 with CS 2 along with halo compounds. The addition of S,S-, N,S-, and N,O-acetals to the Schiff base 14 afforded compounds 15-17 respectively.     

(1,3,5-C3P3H3)M与(1,3,5-C3P3H3)2M (M=Ti,V, Cr)配合物的结构与芳香性

运用密度泛函理论研究了(1,3,5-C3P3H3)M和(1,3,5-C3P3H3)2M (M=Ti,V,Cr)的结构、键合能以及芳香性.结果表明:低自旋的(1,3,5-C3P3H3)M和(1,3,5-C3P3H3)2M基态结构分别具有C3v和D3h对称性.金属与配体间为共价作用,二者之间存在σ、π和σ三种成键方式.V的三明治配合物的解离方式与Ti和Cr的三明治配合物不同,前者为分步解离,后两者则为一步解离.其中(1,3,5-C3P3H3)2Cr(D3h)的第一解离能最大,配合物最稳定.这些三明治和半三明治配合物都具有中心芳香性、内芳香性和外芳香性,且中心芳香性均大于自由配体(1,3,5-C3P3H3)的中心芳香性,芳香性主要贡献来源于π键和金属原子的孤对电子.内芳香性按照Ti、V、Cr的顺序依次增大,且内芳香性明显要大于外芳香性.高自旋的半三明治(1,3,5-C3P3H3)Ti(C3,5A1)与单重态(1,3,5-C3P3H3)Ti (C3v,1A1)相比,配体的变形性增大,稳定性增加,且C平面中心芳香性和内芳香性均增大,但P平面的中心芳香性却降低.     

Phosphates M 0.5(1 + x) 2+ Cr x Ti2 − x (PO4)3: Synthesis, structure, and catalytic properties

Complex phosphates of titanium, chromium, and metals(2+) of the general formula M_{0.5(1 + x} )Cr _x Ti_{2 ? x} (PO₄)₃ (M = Mg, Ca, Mn, Ni, Sr, Ba, and Pb) were synthesized. Their phase formation was studied by means of X-ray powder diffraction, electron probe microanalysis, differential thermal analysis, and IR spectroscopy. Individual phases and solid solutions crystallizing in kosnarite and langbeinite structure types were identified; their crystallographic parameters were calculated. The catalytic properties of phosphates Ca_{0.5(1 + x} )Cr _x Ti_{2 ? x} (PO₄)₃ in methanol conversion were studied.     

A Novel Fused Phosphorus Heterocycle: 4-(1′, 2′, 3′, 4′-Tetrahydro- 1, 3, 2-benzodiazaphosphorin-2′-sulfide)-3, 4b, 4a- thiazphosphaphenanthridine Derivative

The first example of fused phosphorus heterocyclic 4-[ l′-(β-bromoethyl)-4'-oxo-3'-prop yl-1′, 2′, 3′, 4-tetrahydro-1, 3, 2-benzodiazaphosphorin-2′-sulfide]-1, 2, 3, 4, 4a, 4b, 5, 6-octahydro -6-oxo-5-propyl-3, 4b, 4a-thiazphosphaphenanthridine 4a, 2′-dioxide was synthesized in excellent yield by refluxing a mixture of 1-(2-bromoethyt)-2, 3-dihydro-3-propyl-l, 3, 2-benzodiazaphos phorin-4(1H)-one 2-oxide with carbon disulfide in benzene in the presence of triethylamine.     

Formation of M(4)Se(4) cuboids (M = As, Sb, Bi) via secondary pnictogen-chalcogen interactions in the co-crystals MX(3)·Se[double bond, length as m-dash]P(p-FC(6)H(4))(3) (M = As, X = Br; M = Sb, X = Cl; M = Bi, X = Cl, Br)

The reactions of the group 15 trihalides, MX(3) (M = As, Sb, Bi; X = Cl, Br), with the phosphine selenide SeP(p-FC(6)H(4))(3) result in the formation of co-crystals of formula MX(3)·SeP(p-FC(6)H(4))(3). No reaction was observed with MI(3) (M = As, Sb, Bi). The structures of MX(3)·SeP(p-FC(6)H(4))(3) (M = As, X = Br 2; M = Sb, X = Cl 3; M = Bi, X = Cl 5; M = Bi, X = Br 6) have been established, and are isomorphous, crystallising in the cubic I23 space group. All the structures feature a primary MX(3) unit, which has three weak secondary MSe interactions to SeP(p-FC(6)H(4))(3) molecules. However, each of these SeP(p-FC(6)H(4))(3) molecules bridges three MX(3) molecules, resulting in the generation of an M(4)Se(4) (M = As, Sb, Bi) distorted cuboid linked by the pnictogen-chalcogen interactions. Four opposing corners of the cuboid are occupied by the M atom (M = As, Sb, Bi) of an MX(3) pyramid, and the other four by the selenium atom of the phosphine selenide.     

Nitridsulfidchloride der Lanthanide: I. Der Formeltyp M4NS3Cl3 (M = La?Nd)

Nitride Sulfide Chlorides of the Lanthanides. I. The Composition M₄NS₃Cl₃ (M = La Nd) The oxidation of the „light”︁ lanthanides (M = La Nd) with sulfur and NaN₃ the presence of the chlorides MCl₃ results in the formation of the first lanthanide nitride sulfide chlorides M₄NS₃Cl₃ when appropriate molar ratios of the reactants are used. The addition of some NaCl (or an excess of MCl₃) as a flux secures complete and fast reaction (7 d) at 850°C in evacuated silica vessels as well as single-crystalline products. Since these nitride sulfide chlorides (fine transparent needles) are not sensitive against hydrolysis, the surplus chloride can be removed easily with water. The crystal structure was determined from X-ray single crystal data for the example of La₄NS₃Cl₃ (hexagonal, P6₃mc (no. 186), Z = 2, a = 941.40(3), c = 700.36(3) pm, R = 0.026, R_w = 0.021) and the nitride sulfide chlorides M₄NS₃Cl₃ with M = Ce Nd proved to be isostructural from Guinier powder data. According to their Ba₃OCl₆-analogue structure, two crystallographically different M³⁺ cations are present (CN(M1) = 10, CN(M2) = 8). „Isolated”︁ tetrahedra [(N³⁻)(M³⁺)₄] build up the Mayn structural feature according to [NM₄]S₃Cl₃. They are hexagonally closest packed and interconnected via the crystallographically different but by X-ray diffraction indistinguishable anions S²⁻ and Cl⁻, which take care for charge neutrality.     

Single Crystal Studies of Ternary Transition-Metal Molybdenum Selenides MMo6Se8 (M = Ti, Fe, Mn, Cr and Co)

Magnetic properties have been measured in single crystals of selenium-based Chevrel-type M _xMo₆Se₈, with M = Ti, Fe, Mn, Cr and Co, in which x(M) is equal to unity, except for Ti (x ~ 0.9) and Co (x ~ 0.5). Presence of impurities, such as the binary Mo₃Se₄ sub-product, is absolutely excluded and reported results are representative of the intrinsic properties of the reported compounds. For polycrystalline ScMo₆Se₈ and single crystals of Ti_0.88Mo₆Se₈, the Pauli-like temperature-independent magnetic susceptibility allows having a good estimation of the non-magnetic contribution of the Mo₆Se₈ sublattice. Crystal field effects were seen for polycrystalline VMo₆Se₈. Spectacular results were obtained for FeMo₆Se₈ (canted antiferromagnetic compound with high magnetic anisotropy), CrMo₆Se₈ (antiferromagnetism, T_N = 12 K), MnMo₆Se₈ (metamagnetic compound) while the properties of Co_0.54Mo₆Se₈ can be interpreted by magnetic exchange interactions J_AF ~ 100 K. These results are discussed in connection with structural properties and transport measurements obtained in single crystal specimens.     

Correlation between solvatochromism and back-bonding in four isomeric (α-diimine)M(CO)4 complexes,M = Cr,Mo, W

Long-wavelength charge transfer absorption energies of isomeric complexes (bidiazine)M(CO)₄, (bidiazine = 3,3′-bipyridazine, 2,2′- and 4,4′-bipyrimidine, 2,2′-bipyrazine; M = Cr, Mo, W) were measured in various solvents and compared with those for corresponding 2,2′-bipyridine complexes. Linear correlations of energies of absorption maxima with solvent parameters E_MLCT revealed that the solvent dependence Δυ/gDE_MLCT within the bidiazine series increases with decreasing absolute charge transfer transition energy in a given solvent, i.e. with increasing back-donation into the ligand π orbital. Complexes of the most strongly back-bonding ligand, 4,4′-bipyrimidine, thus display by far the most pronounced solvent dependence, with Δυ/gdE_MLCT 4100 cm ⁻¹ for the molybdenum system.

金属四重键化合物M2X4(PMe3)4(M=Cr,Mo,W;X=F,Cl,Br,I)结构和电子光谱的密度泛函理论研究

采用密度泛函理论方法,在TZ2P-STO基组水平下,对金属四重键化合物M2Cl4(PMe3)4(M=Cr,Mo,W)和Mo2X4(PMe3)4(X=F,Cl,Br,I)的几何结构进行优化,分析了电子结构,并运用TDDFT方法对其低占据激发态进行了计算.考虑相对论效应的ZORA方法能够较好地重现M2X4(PMe3)4的几何结构.M2X4(PMe3)4的电子结构分析表明其d电子的组态为σ2π4δ2,前线轨道能级顺序为πlig<πd/σd<δd<δd*.金属原子和卤素配体的改变虽然使轨道能量发生变化,但没有影响轨道的排布顺序.TDDFT方法对M2X4(PMe3)4δd→δd*和πd→δd*跃迁能量的计算较为准确,对πlig→δd*(LMCT)跃迁能量的计算误差较大.金属原子、卤素配体以及相对论效应对激发能的影响可以根据分子轨道能级的变化给予解释.     

Siliciumhaltige carben-komplexe: VIII. HSiR3-eliminierung aus carben-komplexen des typs (CO)5MC(NHR′)SiR3 (M = Cr,Mo, W)

Upon heating solid monoalkylamino(silyl)carbene complexes (CO)₅MC(NHR′)SiR₃ (M = W: SiR₃ = SiPh₃, R′ = Me, Et, Buⁿ, C₆H₁₁, Ph; SiR₃ = SiMePh₂, R′ = Me, Et. M = Mo, Cr: R = Ph, R′ = Me, Et) beyond their melting points, HSiR₃ elimination with formation of the isonitrile complexes (CO)₅MNCR′ and (CO)₄M(CNR′)₂ and (CO)₆M takes place quantitatively. Deuteration experiments show that the silane hydrogen stems from the NH group and that the reaction partially or exclusively proceeds by an intermolecular pathway.     

Synthesis, Characterization and DFT Calculation of a New Silver(Ⅰ) Iodide Templated by Conjugated Cation: (ipq)4Ag4I8

A silver iodide, (ipq)4Ag4I8 1, has been synthesized in the presence of ipq (ipq =N-(isopentyl)-quinolinium) acting as a structure-directing reagent (SDA). Compound 1 crystallizes in the triclinic system, space group Pī, with a = 9.850(2), b = 11.564(2), c = 16.111(3) (A), α =104.64(3), β = 105.73(3), γ = 94.37(3)°, V= 1688.3(7) (A)3, Z = 2, Dc= 2.205 g/cm3, F(000) = 1042,C28H33Ag2I4N2, Mr= 1120.90,μ(MoKα) = 4.836 mm-1, the final R = 0.0363 and wR = 0.0761 for 5465 observed reflections with I ＞ 2σ(Ⅰ). 1 consists of uncoordinated structure-directing molecule and inorganic moiety tuned by organic SDA. Tetrameric Ag4I84- anion in 1 is composed of edgesharing AgI4 tetrahedra and AgI3 planar triangles. Electrostatic interaction between organic counter cations and inorganic moieties is present and contributes to the crystal packing. 1 was further characterized with IR, UV-Vis, elemental analysis and cyclic voltammetry. Based on the crystal structure data, quantum chemical calculation with DFT method was used to reveal the electronic structure and optical property of 1.     

Étude structurale comparée des chromates: M(I)M(III)(CrO4)2; M(I) = Li+, Na+, K+, Rb+, Cs+, NH4+, Ag+ et Tl+; M(III) = Al3+, Fe3+, Cr3+, Tl3+ et Bi3+

Among compounds of formula type M(I)M(III)(CrO₄)₂, the structures of trivalent bismuth compounds are always different from the others, because the surrounding of bismuth is never well-defined. Besides, nearly all these compounds have two-dimensional structures with the exception of Tl(I)Tl(III)(CrO₄)₂ which is three-dimensional. This structural type can exist only when the ionic radius of the monovalent cation has a value near that of O²⁻ ion (1.40 Å), as for Rb⁺, NH₄⁺ and Tl⁺.
