Cyano-bridged hexanuclear Fe4M2 (M = Ni, Co, Mn) clusters: spin-canted antiferromagnetic ordering of Fe4Ni2 cluster

Heterobimetallic hexanuclear cyano-bridged complexes, [{Fe(Tp)(CN)3}4{M(MeCN)(H2O)2}(2)].10H2O.2MeCN [M = Ni (1), Co (2), Mn (3); Tp = hydrotris(1-pyrazolyl)borate], have been synthesized in H2O-MeCN solution. Complexes 1-3 are isostructural and hexanuclear with [{Fe(Tp)(CN)3}4{M(MeCN)(H2O)2}2] units linked by hydrogen bonds to form a 2D-structure in the solid state. Complex 1 is a canted antiferromagnet that undergoes a field-induced spin-flop-like transition at approximately 1 T and 2 K. At 4.45 K 1 has a transition to paramagnetic state of noninteracting S = 4 magnetic clusters. However, 2 and 3 show antiferromagnetic intracluster coupling. Facile loss of solvent from 2 alters the local symmetry resulting in changing the intracluster interaction from antiferro- to ferromagnetic.     

Linear-chain antiferromagnetism in the compounds MII(N2H5)2(SO4)2 with M = Mn,Fe, Co,Ni, and Cu

Powder-susceptibility measurements in the temperature region 2–80° K on the chain compounds M^II(N₂H₅)₂(SO₄)₂, with M = Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, and Cu, show that the magnetic properties of these compounds can be interpreted in terms of antiferromagnetic linear-chain systems. The experimental results provide information on the magnitude of the intrachain interactions. In addition, ESR linewidth experiments were used for a determination of the intrachain interaction in Mn(N₂H₅)₂ (SO₄)₂. For the interpretation of the data on Fe(N₂H₅)₂(SO₄)₂, the parallel susceptibility of Ising chains with S = 2 is calculated theoretically. An estimate for the ratio between the intra- and interchain coupling is given. Use is made of preliminary results of specific heat measurements on these compounds for the interpretation of the magnetic data.     

Cyano-bridged pentanuclear Fe(III)3M(II)2 (M = Ni, Co, Fe) clusters: synthesis, structures, and magnetic properties

The reactions of [M(II)(Tpm(Me))(H2O)3]2+ (M = Ni, Co, Fe; Tpm(Me) = tris(3,5-dimethyl-1-pyrazoyl)methane) with [Bu4N][(Tp)Fe(III)(CN)3] (Bu4N+ = tetrabutylammonium cation; Tp = tris(pyrazolyl)hydroborate) in MeCN-Et2O afford three pentanuclear cyano-bridged clusters, [(Tp)3(Tpm(Me))2Fe(III)3M(II)2(CN)9]ClO4.15H2O (M = Ni, 1; M = Co, 2) and [(Tp)3(Tpm(Me))2Fe(III)3Fe(II)2(CN)9]BF4.15H2O (3). Single-crystal X-ray analyses reveal that they show the same trigonal bipyramidal structure featuring a D3h-symmetry core, in which two opposing Tpm(Me)-ligated M(II) ions situated in the two apical positions are linked through cyanide bridges to an equatorial triangle of three Tp-ligated Fe(III) (S = 1/2) centers. Magnetic studies for complex 1 show ferromagnetic coupling giving an S = 7/2 ground state and an appreciable magnetic anisotropy with a negative D(7/2) value equal to -0.79 cm(-1). Complex 2 shows zero-field splitting parameters deducted from the magnetization data with D = -1.33 cm(-1) and g = 2.81. Antiferromagnetic interaction was observed in complex 3.     

Sm（0.5）Sr（0.5）Co（0.4）M（0.6）O3（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,同相法合成的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.     

Hydrogen storage properties of metal nitroprussides M[Fe(CN)5NO], (M = Co, Ni)

The volumetric hydrogen adsorption isotherms of two isostructural dehydrated cubic metal nitroprussides M[Fe(CN)5NO] (M = Co2+, Ni2+) have been measured up to a pressure of 760 Torr at 77 and 87 K. These materials are among the most efficient H2 sorbents based on porous coordination polymers reported to date. The H2 uptake in both materials is approximately 1.6 wt % at 77 K and 760 torr. These H2 capacities match those reported recently in the structurally related M3[Co(CN)6]2 compounds and are approximately 25% higher than those reported for Zn4O(1,4-benzenedicarboxylate)3 under the same conditions of temperature and pressure. The isosteric heats of H2 adsorption calculated from the 77 and 87 K isotherms for both materials were found to vary from approximately 7.5 kJ/mol at 0.40 wt % coverage to approximately 5.5 kJ/mol at 1.2 wt % coverage. The N2 BET surface areas were determined to be 634 m2/g and 523 m2/g for M = Ni and M = Co, respectively.

Neue Lithiumchlorid-Suzukiphasen: Li6MCl8(M = Fe,Co, Ni)

Novel Lithium Chloride Suzuki Phases, Li₆MCl₈ (M = Fe, Co, Ni) The hitherto unknown Suzuki phases Li₆FeCl₈, Li₆CoCl₈, and Li₆NiCl₈ ( cF 60) were prepared by fusing the binary chlorides. X-ray, DTA, and conductivity data as well as the infrared and Raman spectra are presented. The unit cell dimensions of the cubic (space group Fm3 m) halides are a = 1029.3, 1027.5, and 1023.5 pm, respectively. Li₆FeCl₈ and Li₆CoCl₈ undergo a reversible phase transition to disordered LiCl solid solutions at 275 and 355°C, respectively. The metastable nickel compound can only be prepared by quenching from about 560°C. The lithium chloride Suzuki phases are fast lithium ion conductors at elevated temperatures. The specific conductivities are 1.4 × 10^?1, 1.5 × 10^?1, and 6.9 × 10^?2Ω^?1 × cm^?1 at 500°C, respectively. Whereas the i.r. spectra of the Suzuki phases only reveal a broad band, the Raman spectra exhibit the four group theoretically allowed modes as sharp scattering peaks, which are discussed in terms of the vibrational modes of this structure.     

Theoretical study of the electronic structure of MCH(2)(+)(M=Fe,Co,Ni)

State of the art coupled cluster (CC) methods are applied to accurately characterize the ground state electronic structure and photoelectron spectra of transition metal carbene ions MCH(2) (+) (M=Fe, Co, and Ni). The geometries and energies of the lowest energy quartet, triplet, and doublet electronic states as well as several low-lying vertical excitation energies of FeCH(2) (+), CoCH(2) (+), and NiCH(2) (+) are reported. The excitation energies are computed using the equation-of-motion CC and for states of different symmetries, by the energy differences of single reference ground and excited states (Delta-CC). The latter employ several reference states; the unrestricted Hartree-Fock, restricted open shell Hartree-Fock, and unrestricted Kohn-Sham. We conclude that the (2)A(1) electronic ground state of NiCH(2) (+) is separated by about 30.0 kJ/mol from the next highest state, and the lowest (4)B(1) and (4)B(2) states of FeCH(2) (+) as well as the (3)A(2) and (3)A(1) states of CoCH(2) (+) are nearly degenerate. The presence of metal-pi*(MCH(2)) charge transfer states with significant oscillator strengths in the visible/near-UV energy domain of the theoretical spectra of FeCH(2) (+) and CoCH(2) (+) are at the origin of the photofragmentation of these compounds observed after irradiation between 310 and 360 nm.

Hydrogen storage in the dehydrated prussian blue analogues M3[Co(CN)6]2 (M = Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn)

The porosity and hydrogen storage properties for the dehydrated Prussian blue analogues M3[Co(CN)6]2 (M = Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn) are reported. Argon sorption isotherms measured at 87 K afford BET surface areas ranging from 560 m2/g for Ni3[Co(CN)6]2 to 870 m2/g for Mn3[Co(CN)6]2; the latter value is comparable to the highest surface area reported for any known zeolite. All six compounds show significant hydrogen sorption at 77 K and 890 Torr, varying from 1.4 wt % and 0.018 kg H2/L for Zn3[Co(CN)6]2 to 1.8 wt % and 0.025 kg H2/L for Cu3[Co(CN)6]2. Fits to the sorption data employing the Langmuir-Freundlich equation give maximum uptake quantities, resulting in a predicted storage capacity of 2.1 wt % and 0.029 kg H2/L for Cu3[Co(CN)6]2 at saturation. Enthalpies of adsorption for the frameworks were calculated from hydrogen isotherms measured at 77 and 87 K and found to increase with M varying in the order Mn < Zn < Fe < Co < Cu < Ni. In all cases, the binding enthalpies, which lie in the range of 5.3-7.4 kJ/mol, are higher than the 4.7-5.2 kJ/mol measured for Zn4O(1,4-benzenedicarboxylate)3.     

MII-N-diisopropoxythiophosphorylthiobenzamide complexing processes in M2[Fe(CN)6]-gelatin-immobilized matrices (M = Co,Ni, Cu)

Complexing processes in M^II-N-diisopropoxythiophosphorylthiobenzamide binary systems (M = Co, Ni, Cu) in metal(II) hexacyanoferrate(II) gelatin-immobilized matrices upon contact with aqueous–alkaline (pH = 12.0 ± 0.1) solutions of organic compounds have been studied. It has been shown that, in Co^II and Cu^II, the initial act of complexing involves destruction of the Co^II and Cu^II hexacyanoferrates(II) by OH^– ions, leading to formation of the corresponding hydroxides which react with the ligand indicated. In the both systems, successive addition of two ligand molecules per M(OH)₂ fragment occurs and [MB(OH)(OH₂)] and [MB₂] coordination compounds are formed (B^–-a singly deprotonated ligand form). In the Ni^II-N-diisopropoxythiophosphorylthiobenzamide system, the formation of three complexes, (Ni₂BOH)₂[Fe(CN)₆], [NiB(OH)(OH₂)] and [NiB₂] occurs.     

Sc6MTe2 (M = Mn, Fe, Co, Ni): members of the flexible Zr6CoAl2-type family of compounds

The compounds Sc6MTe2 (M = Mn, Fe, Co, Ni) have been prepared by high-temperature solid-state techniques and their structures determined to be hexagonal P62m (No. 189), Z = 1, a = 7.662(1) A, 7.6795(2) A, 7.6977(4) A, 7.7235(4) A and c = 3.9041(9) A, 3.8368(2) A, 3.7855(3) A, 3.7656(3) A for M = Mn, Fe, Co, and Ni, respectively. Crystal structures were refined for M = Fe and Ni, while M = Mn and Co were assigned as isostructural on the basis of powder diffraction data. The Sc6MTe2 compounds belong to a large family with the Zr6CoAl2-type structure, an ordered variant of the Fe2P structure. The structure contains confacial tricapped trigonal prisms of scandium centered alternately by the late transition metal or tellurium atoms. The Sc6MTe2 compounds are the electron-poorest examples of this structure type. Extended Hückel band calculations for M = Fe and Ni show that both compounds exhibit largely 1D metal-metal bonding and are predicted to be metallic.

Conclusions The titanium disulfide intercalation compounds obtained that contained both lithium and transition metals with the composition Li_xMyTiS₂ (M=Ti, Fe, Ni) had an interlayer distance that was greater than in the original MyTiS₂, but less than in Li_xTiS₂ with the same lithium content.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 3, pp. 478–483, March, 1987.     

Syntheses, structures, and magnetic analyses of a family of heterometallic hexanuclear [Ni4M2] (M = Gd, Dy, Y) compounds: observation of slow magnetic relaxation in the Dy(III) derivative

We described the syntheses, crystal structures, and magnetic behavior of a novel series of heterometallic [Ni(4)M(2)] [M = Gd (1), Dy (2) and Y (3)] hexanuclear compounds afforded by the reaction of rare-earth(III) nitrate, nickel(II) acetate, and Schiff-base ligand 2-(2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzylideneamino)phenol (H(2)L) in a mixture of ethanol and dichloromethane in the presence of triethylamine. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction measurements reveal that all three compounds have a metal core made up of two Ni(2)MO(4) defective cubanes. The magnetic properties of all compounds have been studied. Solid-state direct-current magnetic susceptibility analyses demonstrate competing antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic interactions within both compounds 1 and 3. Solid-state alternating-current magnetic susceptibility investigations show a frequency-dependent out-of-phase signal for compound 2 below 4 K, suggestive of slow magnetic relaxation.     

Tuning of inter- versus intrachain magnetic interactions in cyano-bridged Ni(II)/M(III) (M = Cr, Fe, Co) chain complexes

The reaction of [M(CN)6]3- (M = Cr3+, Fe3+, Co3+) with the nickel(II) complex of 2,4-diamino-1,3,5-triazin-6-yl-{3-(1,3,5,8,12-pentaazacyclotetradecane)} ([NiL]2+) in excess of ANO3 or ACl (A = Li+, Na+, K+, Rb+, Cs+, NH4+) leads to the cyano-bridged dinuclear assemblies A{[NiL][M(CN)6]}.xH2O (x = 2-5). X-ray structures of Li{[NiL][Cr(CN)6]}.5H2O, NH4{[NiL][Cr(CN)6]}.3.5H2O, K{[NiL][Cr(CN)6]}.4H2O, K{[NiL][Fe(CN)6]}.4H2O, Rb{[NiL][Fe(CN)6]}.3.5H2O, and Cs{[NiL][Fe(CN)6]}.3.5H2O, as well as the powder diffractometry of the entire Fe(III) series, are reported. The magnetic properties of the assemblies are dependent on the monocation A and discussed in detail. New efficient pathways for ferromagnetic exchange between Ni(II) and Fe(III) or Cr(III) are demonstrated. Field dependencies of the magnetization for the Fe(III) samples at low temperature and low magnetic field indicate a weak interchain antiferromagnetic coupling, which is switched to ferromagnetic coupling at increasing magnetic field (metamagnetic behavior). The interchain magnetic coupling can be tuned by the size of the A cations.     

First-principles study on MRh12 (M = Rh, Fe, Co, AND Ni) clusters

In this paper, a first-principles study on the stability, electronic and magnetic properties of MRh₁₂ (M = Rh, Fe, Co and Ni) clusters is performed. By optimizing the geometrical structure, we find that MRh₁₂ clusters change from a perfect icosahedron to a distorted structure and have an obvious bond length contraction as compared with the corresponding bulk phase; FeRh₁₂, CoRh₁₂, and NiRh₁₂ clusters are more energetically stable than the RhRh₁₂ cluster. The effect of the impurity M on the density of states, valence band width, HOMO and LUMO for MRh₁₂ clusters is not significant, but when the central Rh atom is substituted with M, the magnetic moment of MRh₁₂ reduces dramatically. The Mulliken population analysis indicates that there are more charge transfers from other orbitals to Rh4d and M3d orbitals, and the spd hybrid effect in d orbitals of MRh₁₂ clusters is stronger than that in the RhRh₁₂ cluster. this situation means that the unpaired d electrons have more chance to be paired, and the magnetic moments of MRh₁₂ clusters can be reduced reasonably.     

Interaction of RT3 (R=Ce, Y; T=Ni, Co) intermetallic compounds with alkaline solutions of MBH4 (M=Na, K, Rb, and Cs)

The interaction of RT₃ (R=Ce, Y; T=Ni, Co) intermetallic compounds (IMC)with alkaline solutions of MBH₄ (M=Na, K, Rb, and Cs) was studied in the temperature range of 298–318 K. For all intermetallic compounds, the reaction of catalytic hydrolysis of NaBH₄ is zero order with respect to MBH₄ and first order with respect to RT₃. The reaction rate decreases and the activation energy of the catalytic hydrolysis of MBH₄ increases in the following order. NaBH₄, KBH₄, RbBH₄, and CsBH₄. The hydride phases RT₃H_x (x2.3—3.9) were synthesized by the interaction of RT₃ IMC with alkaline solutions of MBH₄. They are similar in composition to the products formed in the reaction of RT₃ with gaseous hydrogen at high pressure. The rate of hydrogenation of RT₃ in alkaline solutions of MBH₄ decreases on going from sodium to cesium. Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

An investigation of the metastable character of Y(Co,M)5 compounds

The decomposition behaviour of YCo₅, YCo₄Ni, YCo₃Ni₂, YCo₄Cu, YCo₄Al and YCo_4.8M_0.2 (M ≡ Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe) in the temperature range 635–800 °C was investigated by optical metallography, electron microprobe and X-ray diffraction techniques. It was found that the substitution of one cobalt atom by nickel or aluminium in YCo₅ lowers the decomposition temperature. Nevertheless, the substitution of 0.2 atoms of cobalt by titanium, vanadium, chromium, manganese or iron markedly affects the stability of the CaCu₅ structure. The decomposition of YCo₄Cu at 700 °C is characterized by grain boundary and general precipitation of the (2:17) phase. The decomposition at 800 °C of YCo_4.8Ti_0.2 and YCo_4.8V_0.2 was found to be similar to the classical eutectoid decomposition and is characterized by the simultaneous formation of parallel lamellae of the (2:17) and (2:7) phases. However, under identical heat treatment conditions the other three compounds (YCo_4.8Cr_0.2, YCo_4.8Mn_0.2 and YCo_4.8Fe_0.2) exhibit a monophase eutectoid reaction.
