MF2 vibrations and librations of water molecules in the series MF2·4H2O (M = Fe,Co, Ni or Zn)

The infrared absorption spectra of the series MF₂·4H₂O (M = Fe, Co, Ni or Zn) and of the respective deuterates were recorded at 296 and ∼ 100 K in the 1200-400 cm⁻¹ wavenumber region. Using the known ZnF₂·4H₂O structure as a model, the number of i.r. active librations and MF₂ vibrations was predicted with the aid of a group theoretical treatment. The librations were distinguished from the MF₂ and MO vibrations and assigned, using isotopic ratios and correlations between the unit cell volumes, the uncoupled OH and OD stretch vibrations of HDO and the twisting libration. The six librations are assigned to two types of water molecules with low symmetry and with different hydrogen bond strengths, and are compatible with an orthorhombic Pca2₁ structure. The v₁ and v₃ intramolecular MF₂ vibrations are assigned, using ZnF₂·4H₂O crystal data and matrix-isolated v₁ and v₃ (v_1.3) values as guide. Shifts of v_1.3 and v₁/v₃ relative to the matrix-isolated values suggest smaller MF bond lengths. The shifts in the values of v_1.3 and v₁/v₃ upon deuteration and lowering of the temperature indicate smaller MF bond lengths and FMF angles.

Synthesis, characterization and magnetic investigation of (NH4)0.5Mn1.25(H2O)2[BP2O8]·0.5H2O

A new borophosphate compound with the composition (NH₄) _χ Mn_((3?χ)/2)(H₂O)₂ [BP₂O₈]·(1?x)H₂O was prepared under mild hydrothermal conditions and characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) methods. The title compound was synthesized from MnCl₂·2H₂O, H₃BO₃, and (NH₄)₂HPO₄ with variable molar ratios by heating at 180 °C for 7 days in an autoclave. The X-ray diffraction data of the water insoluble polycrystalline powder was indexed using the TREOR program in hexagonal system with the unit cell parameters of a = 9.5104, c = 15.7108 Å, Z = 6 and the space group P6₅ (No.176). (NH₄) _χ Mn_((3?χ)/2)(H₂O)₂ [BP₂O₈]·(1?x)H₂O is isostructural with (NH₄) _χ M _((3?χ) ^2)/II (H₂O)₂ [BP₂O₈]·(1?x)H₂O (M^II = Co, Cd, Mg; x = 0.5–1). Its unit cell parameters and hkl values were in good agreement with the other isostructural compounds. This is the first report presenting both the synthetic details and the indexed X-ray powder diffraction pattern of this compound along with the characterization by FTIR, thermal gravimetric analysis, scanning electron microscopy and EPR.

Preparation and Characterization of Single-Phase Perovskite La0.6Sr0.4Co0.8Fe0.2O3-δ

Single-phase perovskite La0.6Sr0.4Co0.8Fe0.2O3-δ has been successfully prepared by using citrate-EDTA complexation method at relatively low calcination temperature. The structure and thermal decomposition process of the complex precursor have been investigated by means of differential scanning calorimetry-thermal gravimetric analysis (DSC/TGA), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopic (FT-IR) measurements. The precursor decomposed completely and started to form perovskite-type oxide above 420℃ according to the differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) results. Single-phase perovskite La0.6Sr0.4Co0.8Fe0.2O3-δ obtained has been confirmed from the XRD pattern, and no peak of SrCO3 was found by XR.D of the oxides synthesized at a relatively low temperature of 800 ℃. The reducibility of La0.6Sr0.4Co0.8Fe0.2O3-δ was also characterized by the temperature programmed reduction (TPR) technique. Disk shaped dense La0.6Sr0.4Co0.8Fe0.2O3-δ membrane was prepared by the isostatical pressing method. The oxygen flux rate of dense La0.6Sr0.4Co0.8Fe0.2O3-δ membrane was (2.8-18)×10-8 mol/(cm2·s) in the temperature range of 800-1 000℃.     

Microwave-induced combustion synthesis and characterization of NixCo1−xFe2O4 nanocrystals (x = 0.0, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1.0)

A series of Ni-doped cobalt ferrites Ni_xCo1_−xFe₂O₄ (x = 0.0, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, and 1.0) were prepared using microwave-induced combustion. Nickel, cobalt, and ferric nitrates were used as starting materials and glycine as fuel. The influence of Ni content on the lattice parameter, stretching vibrations, and magnetization was studied. XRD, FTIR, and SEM were used for structure, composition, and morphology investigation. A porous network structure was observed with average particle size 60–67 nm. All samples had a cubic spinel structure. The unit cell parameter “a” decreases linearly with nickel concentration due to the smaller ionic radius of nickel. Magnetization measurements showed that coercivity decreased as Ni content increased; it increased with decreasing temperature.      

Sm0.5Sr0.5Co0.4M0.6O3 (M=Co,Mn, Fe)作为IT-SOFCs阴极的结构与性能

通过X射线衍射(XRD)、热重、热膨胀、电导率以及交流阻抗等测试方法, 研究了Sm0.5Sr0.5Co0.4M0.6O3(M=Co, Mn, Fe; 分别简写为SSCC, SSCM, SSCF)作为中低温固体氧化物燃料电池(IT-SOFCs)阴极的结构与性能. 研究表明, 固相法合成的Sm0.5Sr0.5Co0.4M0.6O3均为正交钙钛矿型结构, 材料的结构参数和性能都与M元素半径及M—O的键能有关. 晶胞参数随着Co、Mn、Fe的顺序增大.材料的氧空位浓度、热膨胀系数、电导率、电极催化活性随着Co、Fe、Mn的顺序降低. 同时由于SSCM较低的氧空位浓度, 使得电极反应受到氧在电极内的扩散过程控制, 具有较差的电极催化性能, 而SSCC和SSCF较高的氧空位浓度, 电极反应同时受到电极表面氧还原反应和氧离子在电极中的扩散过程混合控制. 由于SSCF具有较高的氧扩散系数, 使得700 ℃以上SSCF电极表面氧还原电阻(ASR)也低于SSCC的, 因而出现了SSCF的总电极催化活性高于SSCC的现象.     

Bending modes of the water molecules and the MO stretching modes in the series MF2 · 4H2O (M = Fe,Co, Ni,Zn)

The infrared spectra of the series MF₂·4X₂O (M = Fe, Co, Ni, Zn; X = H, D) are reported in the frequency ranges of the bending vibrations of the water molecules (ν₂) at 296 and ∼100 K and the MO lattice vibrations (ν_MO) at 296 K. Four ν_MO vibrations consisting of two doublets are identified using deuterium substitution. The various ν_ZnO vibrations correlate well with the metal-oxygen distances R(ZnO), and this correlation is further used to calculate R(MO)'s of the remainder of the series and to refine R(ZnO). Four ν₂(H₂O, HDO, D₂O) vibrations, consisting of two sharp overlapping bands flanked by two broad shoulders, are identified. The number of ν₂(H₂O) components, the sequence of ν₂ in the series and the correlation with R(MO) suggest that the ν₂ frequencies are mainly determined by R(MO). Using this assignment the two types of ν₂ bands are assigned to the two types of crystallographically distinct water molecules found in the MF₂·4H₂O structure.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of [Ni(H2O)6][Ni(H2O)2(C4H2O4)]·4H2O

Reaction of a freshly prepared Ni(OH)_{2?2 x} (CO₃) _x ·yH₂O with maleic acid in H₂O at room temperature afforded [Ni(H₂O)₆][Ni(H₂O)₂(C₄H₂O₄)]·4H₂O, which consists of [Ni(H₂O)₆]²⁺ cations, [Ni(H₂O)₂(C₄H₂O₄)]^2? anions and lattice H₂O molecules. Ni atoms in cations are octahedrally coordinated and Ni atoms in anions are each octahedrally coordinated by bidentate chelating maleato ligands and two water molecules at trans positions. Cations and anions are interlinked by hydrogen bonds to form 1D chains, which are hexagonally arranged and connected by the lattice water molecules. When heated in a flowing argon stream, the compound decomposes, with complete dehydration being followed by dissociation of nickel maleate into NiO and maleic anhydride.     

Comparison of structure and electrochemical properties for 5 V LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 and LiNi0.4Cr0.2Mn1.4O4 cathode materials

Spinel LiNi_0.5Mn_1.5O₄ and LiMn_1.4Cr_0.2Ni_0.4O₄ cathode materials have been successfully synthesized by the sol–gel method using citric acid as a chelating agent. The structure and electrochemical performance of these as-prepared powders have been characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and the galvanostatic charge–discharge test in detail. XRD results show that there is a small Li _y Ni_1-y O impurity peak placed close to the (4 0 0) line of the spinel LiNi_0.5Mn_1.5O₄, and LiMn_1.4Cr_0.2Ni_0.4O₄ has high phase purity, and the powders are well crystallized. SEM indicates that LiMn_1.4Cr_0.2Ni_0.4O₄ has a slightly smaller particle size and a more regular morphological structure with narrow size distribution than those of LiNi_0.5Mn_1.5O₄. Galvanostatic charge–discharge testing indicates that the initial discharge capacities of LiMn_1.4Cr_0.2Ni_0.4O₄ and LiNi_0.5Mn_1.5O₄ cycled at 0.15 C are 129.6 and 130.2 mAh g⁻¹, respectively, and the capacity losses compared to the initial value, after 50 cycles, are 2.09% and 5.68%, respectively. LiMn_1.4Cr_0.2Ni_0.4O₄ cathode has a higher electrode coulombic efficiency than that of the LiNi_0.5Mn_1.5O₄ cathode, implying that Ni and Cr dual substitution is beneficial to the reversible intercalation and de-intercalation of Li⁺.

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.     

Isodimorphism of the salts 2RbCl · MIICl2 · 2H2O (MII = Mn,Fe, Co,Cu)

The three-component systems RbClMnCl₂H₂O, 2RbCl · CoCl₂ · 2H₂O2RbCl · CuCl₂ · 2H₂OH₂O, 2RbCl · CoCl₂ · 2H₂O2RbCl · MnCl₂ · 2H₂OH₂O have been studied at 25°C. In the 2RbCl · CoCl₂ · 2H₂O2RbCl · CuCl₂ · 2H₂OH₂O system, a discontinuous series of mixed crystals is formed and in the 2RbCl · CoCl₂ · 2H₂O2RbCl · MnCl₂ · 2H₂OH₂O system, a continuous series is present.The unit cell parameters of the 2RbCl · CoCl₂ · 2H₂O double salt were determined: a = 5.586(2) Å, b = 6.469(3) Å, c = 6.988(2) Å, α = 65.31(3)°, β = 87.69(3)°, γ = 84.65(4)°, volume 228.4 ų, Z = 1.The results obtained and discussed in conjunction with the crystal structure data suggest that for 2M^ICl · M^IICl₂ · 2H₂O type salts the triclinic structure is stable only when the large rubidium and cesium ions participate in combinations with non-Jahn-Teller metal(II) ions. In the cases of Jahn-Teller metal(II) ions or with potassium or ammonium ions a tetragonal structure is always stable.

Results of X-ray structural analysis, IR spectroscopy, and quantum chemical study of the [Fe₃O(CH₃COO)₆(H₂O)₃]NO₃·4H₂O complex are reported. The crystal belongs to the monoclinic system with a=15.688(3), b=11.767(2), c=15.318(4) Å, γ=92.54(3)^o, space group P2₁/a, R=0.078. The molecule has a trinuclear structure: three iron atoms occupy the vertices of an equilateral, triangle with an Fe−Fe distance of 3.29 Å and are bonded by the μ₃-oxo and μ-CH₃COO⁻ (O,O′) ligands. To each iron atom, one water molecule is coordinated. Using the obtained values of populations on 3d AO of Fe (d _xy ^1.34 ; d _xz ^1.39 ; d _yz ^1.46 ; ; ) and charges on oxygen atoms (O _c ^−0.5 ; O _ac ^−0.31 ; O _w ^−0.31 ), we estimated the values of isomeric shift and quadrupole splitting (0.75 and 0.70 mm/sec, respectively; these are close to the experimental values of 0.75 and 0.58 mm/sec, (300 K)).
