An analysis of the vibrational frequencies and amplitudes of the H5O+2 ion in H4SiW12O40·6H2O (TSA·6H2O) and H3PW12O40·6H2O (TPA·6H2O)

The infrared, Raman and inelastic neutron scattering (INS) spectra of TSA·6H₂O and TPA·6H₂O are in agreement with those expected for the presence of H₅O⁺₂ ions. Force fields for different assignment schemes are compared with the observed vibrational frequencies and the INS spectral profile. All but two schemes are eliminated. Whilst low-resolution INS spectroscopy cannot distinguish between these two schemes, the orientations of the vibrational ellipsoids for one scheme are in better agreement with those reported from low-temperature crystallographic studies of the H₅O⁺₂ ion.

Calcium titanate (CaTiO₃) was conveniently synthesized by thermal decomposition of a single-source precursor [Ca(H₂O)₃]₂[Ti₂(O₂)₂O(NC₆H₆O₆)₂]·2H₂O at low temperature.

On the thermal decomposition of [Fe2NiO(CH3COO)6(H2O)3]·2H2O

The heteronuclear-oxoacetate with the composition [Fe₂NiO(CH₂COO)₆(H₂O)₃]·2H₂O decomposed on heating, forming nickel ferrite NiFe₂O₄ and (depending on the decomposition conditions) in part other solid phases. H₂O, CH₃COOH, acetone and CO₂ were also formed in the decomposition. A reaction scheme is given for the decomposition. The products were porous powders with grain diameters between 3 and 10m. On increase of the temperature of decomposition from 300 to 800 C, the BET surface area and the surface area of the pores decreased, but only a small alteration in grain size was observed. As a result of thermal treatment in the temperature region abone 800C, larger aggregates of grains were formed in sintering processes.

New 1D and 2D metal oxygen connectivities in Cu(II) succinato and glutarato coordination polymers: [Cu3(H2O)2(OH)2(C4H4O4)2] · 4H2O, [Cu4(H2O)2(OH)4(C4H4O4)2] · 5H2O and [Cu5(OH)6(C5H6O4)2] · 4H2O

Two Cu(II) hydroxo succinates [Cu₃(H₂O)₂(OH)₂(C₄H₄O₄)₂]?·?4H₂O (1) and [Cu₄(H₂O)₂(OH)₄(C₄H₄O₄)₂]?·?5H₂O (2) and one Cu(II) hydroxo glutarate [Cu₅(OH)₆(C₅H₆O₄)₂]?·?4H₂O (3) have been prepared and structurally characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction methods. They feature 1D and 2D copper oxygen connectivity of elongated {CuO₆} octahedra in “4?+?1?+?1” and “4?+?2” coordination geometries. Within 1, linear trimers of three edge-sharing {CuO₆} octahedra are connected into copper oxygen chains, which are bridged by the anti conformational succinate anions to generate 2D layers with mono terminally coordinating gauche succinate anions on both sides. The layers are assembled into a 3D framework by interlayer hydrogen bonds with lattice H₂O molecules distributed in channels. Different from 1, the principal building units in 2 are linear tetramers of four edge-sharing {CuO₆} octahedra. The tetramers are condensed into copper oxygen chains and the succinate anions interlink them into a 3D framework with triangular channels filled by lattice H₂O molecules. The {CuO₆} octahedra in 3 are edge-shared to form unprecedented 2D inorganic layers with mono terminally coordinating glutarate anions on both sides. Interlayer hydrogen bonding interactions are responsible for supramolecular assembly of the layers into a 3D framework with lattice H₂O molecules in the channels. The inorganic layers in 3 can be described as hexagonal close packing of oxygen atoms with the Cu atoms in the octahedral cavities. The title compounds were further characterized by elemental analyses, IR spectra and thermal analyses.

A Raman spectroscopic study of the mineral coquandite Sb6O8(SO4)·(H2O)

Raman spectra of coquandite Sb₆O₈(SO₄)·(H₂O) were studied, and related to the structure of the mineral. Raman bands observed at 970, 990 and 1007 cm^?1 and a series of overlapping bands are observed at 1072, 1100, 1151 and 1217 cm^?1 are assigned to the SO₄^2? ν₁ symmetric and ν₃ antisymmetric stretching modes respectively. Raman bands at 629, 638, 690, 751 and 787 cm^?1 are attributed to the SbO stretching vibrations. Raman bands at 600 and 610 cm^?1 and at 429 and 459 cm^?1 are assigned to the SO₄^2? ν₄ and ν₂ bending modes. Raman bands at 359 and 375 cm^?1 are assigned to O–Sb–O bending modes. Multiple Raman bands for both SO₄^2? and SbO stretching vibrations support the concept of the non-equivalence of these units in the coquandite structure.     

Synthesis and crystal structure of the complex [Mg(H2O)2(dmf@CB[6])(bdc)]·DMF·4H2O and the inclusion compound [dmf@CB[6]]·8H2O

The complex [Mg(H₂O)₂(dmf@CB[6])(bdc)]·DMF·4H₂O (1) and the inclusion compound [dmf@CB[6]]·8H₂O (2) were obtained from a mixture of magnesium perchlorate and water (for compound 1) or magnesium oxide and H₂SO₄ (for compound 2), and cucurbit[6]uryl (CB[6]) in the presence of N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) with the additives of terephthalic or fumaric acid, respectively. X-ray diffraction studies showed that magnesium cation in compound 1 coordinated two oxygen atoms of the CB[6] molecule, one oxygen atom of the terephthalate anion, two molecules of water, and a DMF molecule located inside the cucurbit[6]uryl cavity. When fumaric acid was used instead of terephthalic acid under similar conditions of synthesis, no coordination of magnesium cations to cucurbit[6]uryl molecules took place, rather an inclusion compound of DMF into the macrocyclic cavitand was formed. Compounds 1 and 2 were characterized by X-ray diffraction data, IR spectroscopy, and elemental analysis.
