The results of structural studies of the synthetic analog of the radtkeite mineral Hg₃S₂Cl_1.00I_1.00 are analyzed. The crystal structure of the compound has been refined; the unit cell parameters are a _m = 16.827(4) , b _m = 9.117(1) , c _m = 13.165(5) , = 130.17(2)°, V = 1543.3(8) ³, space group C2/m, Z = 8, R = 0.0527. A possible transition a ₀ = a _m; b ₀ = a _m + 2c _m; c ₀ = –b _m to the pseudo-orthorhombic F cell previously determined for radtkeite, where one of the angles ( ₀ ) is slightly different from 90° (89.55°), has been found. Each sulfur atom in the structure is bonded to three mercury atoms, forming SHg₃ umbrellas with distances 2.240(6) –2.474(8) and angles HgSHg 94.7(2)°–102.9(2)°. The SHg₃ fragments are linked through Hg vertices to form corrugated [Hg₁₂S₈] layers. The halogen atoms lie inside and between the [Hg₁₂S₈] layers; the distances are Hg-Cl and Hg-I 2.783(7) , 2.961(7) , and 3.083(4) –3.311(3) , respectively.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2004 by N.

Synthesis,Structure, and Magnetic Properties of the Silicides <Emphasis Type="BoldItalic">RE</Emphasis>IrSi (<Emphasis Type="Italic">RE</Emphasis> = Ce,Pr, Er,Tm, Lu) and SmIr<Subscript>0.266(8)</Subscript>Si<Subscript>1.734(8)</Subscript>

Summary. The equiatomic rare earth metal–iridium–silicides REIrSi (RE=Ce, Pr, Er, Tm, Lu) were prepared by arc-melting of the elements and subsequent annealing. All silicides were characterized through their X-ray powder patterns. The structures of CeIrSi, ErIrSi, and LuIrSi were refined from X-ray single crystal diffractometer data: LaIrSi type, P2₁3, a=629.15(2)pm, wR2=0.1232, 280F² values, and 11 variable parameters for CeIrSi; TiNiSi type, Pnma, a=673.4(1), b=416.07(5), c=744.88(9)pm, wR2=0.0705, 339F² values, and 20 variable parameters for ErIrSi, and a=664.0(3), b=412.9(1), c=742.6(1)pm, wR2=0.0398, 496F² values, and 20 variable parameters for LuIrSi. The iridium and silicon atoms in CeIrSi, ErIrSi, and LuIrSi build three-dimensional [IrSi] networks where the iridium atoms have three (CeIrSi, Ir–Si 229pm) and four (ErIrSi, Ir–Si 247–258pm; LuIrSi, Ir–Si 245–256pm) silicon neighbors. The [IrSi] networks leave larger channels in which the cerium, erbium, and lutetium atoms are located. Temperature dependent susceptibility data for LuIrSi indicate Pauli paramagnetism. CeIrSi shows Curie-Weiss paramagnetism above 100K with an experimental magnetic moment of 2.56(2)_B/Ce atom. With samarium as rare earth metal component the silicide SmIr_0.266(8)Si_1.734(8) with -ThSi₂ type structure was obtained: I4₁/amd, a=409.3(1), c=1397.2(5)pm, wR2=0.0575, 161F² values, and 9 variable parameters. Within the three-dimensional [Ir_0.266Si_1.734] network the Ir/Si–Ir/Si distances range from 230 to 237pm.

Stability and transport properties of La<Subscript>2</Subscript>Mo<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>9</Subscript>

La₂Mo₂O₉ samples were prepared from freeze-dried powder precursors and characterized by XRD, TG/DTA, SEM, electrical and electrochemical measurements. Pellets with different density were obtained by sintering at temperatures between 900 and 1100 °C to obtain nearly dense samples with grain sizes in the range 1–8 m. The electrical conductivity was measured using impedance spectroscopy. The capacitance and relaxation frequencies of the main contributions to the spectra were used to ascribe the contributions of grain interiors and internal interfaces, and their temperature dependence. A coulometric titration technique was used to evaluate the change of oxygen stoichiometry under moderately reducing conditions, and to estimate the stability limits under strongly reducing conditions. An ion-blocking method was used to evaluate the onset of n-type conductivity, and a combination of these results with total conductivity measurements was used to obtain the ionic transport number. A combination of oxygen stoichiometry changes and ion-blocking results was used to obtain estimates of mobility.Presented at the OSSEP Workshop Ionic and Mixed Conductors: Methods and Processes, Aveiro, Portugal, 10–12 April 2003     

Thermal decomposition of cyano complexes of the type M(NH3)3Ni(CN)4 (M=Cu,Zn, Cd)

Three complex compounds with the compositions Cu(NH₃)₃Ni(CN)₄ (CuA), Zn(NH₃)₃Ni(CN)₄ (ZnA), and Cd(NH₃)₃Ni(CN)₄ (CdA) were prepared and identified. Their structures were examined by the methods of infrared spectroscopy and X-ray powder diffraction and compared with one another. The thermal stabilities and stoichiometries of thermal decomposition were investigated with a derivatograph. It follows from the results that the thermal stability increases in the sequence CuA < ZnA < CdA.

Phase equilibria in the CdI<Subscript>2</Subscript>-Bi<Subscript>2</Subscript>O<Subscript>3</Subscript> system

The phase diagram of the system CdI₂-Bi₂O₃ is studied by means of X-ray diffraction, differential thermal analysis and measurements of the density of the material. As a result of the synthetic and peritectic interactions, two incongruently melting intermediate phases i.e. phase A — CdI₂·2Bi₂O₃ and phase B — CdI₂·4Bi₂O₃ (stable in the temperature interval 370–850°C) are formed.The phase A exists in two polymorphic forms with a temperature of the phase transition T =320–370°C. The unit cell parameters at low temperature modification of -CdI₂°2Bi₂O₃ were determined. (a=1.032 nm, b=1.046 nm, c=1.046 nm, =115.02°, =109.11° and =82.04°). The phases A and B have fields of homogeneity.The authors acknowledge thankfully the financial support for this work from the Ministry of Education and Science (Fond Scientific investigations — contract TN-1102).     

Order and disorder in mixed metal linear chains: The homo and heterobimetallic EDTA (M(H2O)4OIOII)[M′(EDTA)] · 6H2O complexes (M = Mg,Mn, Co,Zn and Ni; M′ = Co,Ni, Cu and Zn)

Summary Polymetallic solid solutions of the ethylenediaminetetracetic acid (EDTA) and six divalent metal ions exist in the range: MgMnCoZnNiCu(EDTA) · 6H₂O where + + + + + =2, 01, 0,,2, 0, 1.This type of structure is characterized by the presence of two different octahedral carboxylate-bridged coordination sites forming infinite zig-zag chains. Visible and i.r. spectra and t.g.a. analysis show that there is occupational preference for the two coordination sites in the crystalline structure.Due to this preference, and also to the structural features, the heterobimetallic MM(EDTA) · 6H₂O compounds constitute a structurally new class of materials which can be described as ordered alternating-heterobimetallic polymeric coordination complexes.     

Density Functional Theory and Low-Temperature Matrix Investigations of CO-Loss Photochemistry from [(C<Subscript>5</Subscript>R<Subscript>5</Subscript>)Ru(CO)<Subscript>2</Subscript>]<Subscript>2</Subscript> (R = H,Me) Complexes

The photochemical CO-loss products of the diruthenium complexes [CpRu(CO) ₂]₂ (5; Cp = ⁵-C₅H₅), [Cp*Ru(CO)₂]₂ (5*; Cp* = ⁵-C₅(CH₃)₅) and CpCp*[Ru(CO)₂]₂ (5) have been studied experimentally in low-temperature (96 K) matrices in 3-methylpentane by using IR spectroscopy. It is proposed that all three complexes undergo single-CO-loss chemistry but that the products have different structures. The single-CO-loss product from 5 is proposed to have one bridging and two terminal carbonyl ligands, whereas 5* and 5 generate triply bridged CO-loss products similar to that observed from [CpFe(CO)₂]₂ and [Cp*Fe(CO)₂]₂. Double-CO-loss from 5* and 5* 9 is also apparently observed. Relativistic DFT calculations have been carried out on various isomers of the starting materials and on potential CO-loss products from 5. The calculations suggest that the triply bridged product Cp₂Ru₂(-CO)₃ (6) might have a singlet ground state in contrast to the corresponding diiron complex Cp₂Fe₂(-CO)₃ (3), which has a triplet ground state.     

Synthesis and thermal decomposition of (NH4)2[MIIIF5(H2O) (M=Al,Fe and Cr)

Ammonium pentafluorometallate monohydrates were prepared by different methods and characterized by chemical analysis, IR spectrometry and X-ray diffraction. Unit cell parameters were determined for the Fe and Cr compounds, which were found to be isostructural with the known Al compound. The IR spectra, X-ray diffraction patterns and lattice data on the compounds are very similar, and point to the existence of isolated [M^IIIF₅(H₂O)]^2– octahedra. The water is coordinated to theM ^III cation.Dehydration and thermal decomposition were investigated by thermal analysis (TG, DTG, DTA) on the Q-derivatograph and by high-temperature X-ray diffraction. Different dehydration temperatures and products were found, depending on the nature of theM ^III cation. NH₄F is liberated in several steps (Al or Fe) or continuously (Cr), leading to the formation ofM ^III fluorides.

Zusammenfassung Ammoniumpentafluormetallat-monohydrate (NH₄)₂MeF₅ · H₂O (M=Fe, Al, Cr) wurden nach verschiedenen Methoden präpariert und durch chemische Analyse, IR-Spektren und Röntgenbeugung charakterisiert. Die Elementarzellen-Parameter der mit der Al-Verbindung isostrukturellen Fe- und Cr-Verbindung wurden ermittelt. IR-Spektren, Röntgenbeugungsdiagramme und Gitterdaten aller drei Verbindungen sind einander sehr ähnlich und beweisen das Vorliegen isolierter [M^IIIF₅(H₂O)]^2– -Oktaeder, in denen Wasser mit dem Kation koordiniert ist. Entwässerung und thermische Zersetzung wurden durch simultane TG-DTG-DTA und durch Hochtemperatur-Röntgenbeugung untersucht. Abhängig vom KationM ^III werden unterschiedliche Reaktionsprodukte und -temperaturen gefunden. Unter kontinuierlicher (M=Cr) oder schrittweiser Freisetzung von NH₄F (Fe, Al) wird das jeweilige Fluorid M^IIIF₃3 gebildet.

An investigation of some homo- and heterobinuclear complexes of copper(II) and nickel(II) with pyridine-2-aldoxime

The reactions between copper(II) or nickel(II) with thecis-pyridine-2-aldoxime complexes of the same metal ions have been investigated by spectrophotometric measurements. The homo and heterobinuclear chelates involved have been isolated as the chlorides and characterized by spectroscopic and thermoanalytical techniques. The first decomposition step is not dependent on the furnace atmosphere (N₂ or O₂) and is accompanied by a large exothermic effect (DSC curves in N₂). TG curves show that binuclear complexes are generally slightly less stable than the respective mononuclear complexes but, in the case of [Cu(NiL₂)Cl₂(H₂O)₂], the complexation of copper(II) gives rise a drastic decrease of its thermal stability.

Der erste Zersetzungsschritt ist unabhängig von der Ofenatmosphäre (N₂ oder O₂) und ist stark exotherm (s. DSC-Kurven in Abb. 1). Die TG-Kurven lassen erkennen, dass zweikernige Komplexe im allgemeinen etwas weniger stabil als die entsprechenden einkernigen Komplexe sind, im Falle von [Cu(NiL₂)Cl₂(H₂O)₂], aber die Anlagerung von Liganden an das Kupfer zu einer drastischen Verminderung der Stabilität führt.

A new preparation technique of catalysts characterized by small metal crystallites

The present study reports a new and original technique for obtaining nickel catalysts characterized by small metal crystallites. The catalysts were prepared on -Al₂O₃. The total surface of the carrier was 37.5 m²/g. The preservation of the appropriate procedure and conditions of preparation allow a large expansion of active nickel surface (mean crystallite size 2.0–3.0 nm) in spite of the quite hard conditions of reduction (773 K and 3 h).

Vibrational linestrengths for the ground and first excited electronic states of HeH<Subscript>2</Subscript><Superscript>+</Superscript>

Together with recent improved potential-energy surface calculations for the ground (X) and first excited (Ã) electronic states of HeH₂ ⁺, the electric dipole moment surfaces for each state and the transition dipole moments connecting the two states were evaluated for the entire range of the energy calculations. Using these functions the linestrengths of all dipole-allowed transitions between the bound vibrational levels within each of the two states (XX) and (ÃÃ) as well as between them (ÃX) are evaluated here. These data are believed to be useful both in the experimental search for the yet unobserved molecular spectra of HeH₂ ⁺ and in evaluating theoretical rates for the radiative association or photodissociation processes involving the two lowest electronic states of the ion.Contribution to the Björn Roos Honorary Issue
