Preparation and electrical and magnetic properties of Sr2−xNaxCuO3 (0 ≤ x ≤ 1) solid solutions

Mixed-valence copper(II/III) oxide solid solutions Sr_2?xNa_xCuO₃ (0 ≤ x ≤ 1) have been prepared by solid-state reactions in oxygen atmosphere. All solid solutions exhibit the structure of Sr₂CuO₃ (S.G. Immm). Electrical conductivity and thermoelectric power measurements show a semiconducting behavior in the whole composition range. The electronic structure of Sr₂CuO₃ is compared with that of La₂CuO₄ on the basis of an iono-covalent model. Interpretation of transport properties suggests the formation of small polarons. Magnetic susceptibility and EPR measurements show that the antiferromagnetic ordering of Sr₂CuO₃ tends to vanish as x increases, however magnetic interactions are still strong for a concentration of Cu²⁺ ions corresponding to x = 0.8.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of Copper(II) Trifluoroacetates,Cu2(CF3COO)4 · 2 CH3CN and Cu(CF3COO)2(H2O)4

Cu₂(CF₃COO)₄ · 2 CH₃CN ( I ) and Cu(CF₃COO)₂(H₂O)₄ ( II ) have been prepared by concentrating of acetonitrile and aqueous solutions respectively. According to X-ray data, the complex I consists of binuclear molecules with Cu–O 1.969 Å, Cu–N 2.114 Å. The Cu…Cu distance was found to be 2.766 Å, one of the longest for dimeric structures, apparently, due to the high acidity of trifluoroacetic acid. The coordination environment of Cu atom in II can be described as 4 + 2: 2 Cu–O (H₂O) 1.937 Å, 2 Cu–O (CF₃COO) 1.985 Å, 2 Cu–O (H₂O) 2.447 Å. The mononuclear structure is stabilized by formation of two intra- and six intermolecular hydrogen bonds.     

Tantalcluster in oxidischer Matrix – Synthese und Strukturen der gemischtvalenten Oxotantalate M2–δTa15O32 (M = K,Rb (δ = 0); M = Sr (δ = 0.15), Ba (δ = 0.12))

Tantalum Cluster in an Oxidic Matrix – Synthesis and Structures of Mixed-Valence Oxotantalates M_2–δTa₁₅O₃₂ (M = K, Rb (δ = 0); M = Sr (δ = 0.15), Ba (δ = 0.12)) The mixed-valent oxides Sr_1.85Ta₁₅O₃₂ ( 1 ), Ba_1.88Ta₁₅O₃₂ ( 2 ), K₂Ta₁₅O₃₂ ( 3 ), Rb₂Ta₁₅O₃₂ ( 4 ) were prepared from appropriate mixtures of Ta₂O₅, tantalum and the corresponding carbonate at 1520–1670 K in sealed tantalum tubes. According to X-ray single crystal structure analyses the oxides crystallize in the space group R3¯, Z = 1. The lattice parameters in the hexagonal setting are a = 777.36(11), c = 3516.2(7) pm for 1 , a = 778.87(11), c = 3548.1(7) pm for 2 , a = 780.7(2), c = 3573.1(11) pm for 3 , and a = 781.90(11), c = 3593.0(7) pm for 4 . The oxide ions form a defect dense packing with the layer sequence chhhh. Anti-cuboctahedral sites are completely occupied by the alkali metal cations. The alkaline earth cations occupy 92 to 94% of such sites; they are displaced from the centres. Smaller voids are located in the centres of the cuboctahedral Ta₆O₁₂ clusters forming the characteristic structural unit of these low-valent oxotantalates. In case of 3 and 4 the clusters have 13 electrons, in case of 1 and 2 they have close to 15 electrons available for Ta–Ta-bonding. Moreover, the structures of the alkali and alkaline earth metal compounds differ notably with respect to the spectrum of Ta–O and Ta–Ta distances in the Ta₃O₁₃ octahedra triples forming another characteristic structural unit for these oxides. Such differences are traced back to distinct local charge balances for the uni- and divalent cations. The oxides 2 , 3 are semiconductors with band gaps ranging from 130 to 360 meV.     

Changes in the near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure spectra of long-chain diacetylene derivatives through photopolymerization in Langmuir–Blodgett films

Photopolymerization of cadmium 10,12-pentacosadiynoate (CdDA) in Langmuir–Blodgett (LB) films, with the molecular packing well arranged by moderate preannealing, was investigated with near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) spectroscopy. Greenish films of polydiacetylene with an absorption wavelength of 705 nm were obtained through the photopolymerization of preannealed monomer LB films, and this resulted in an extended π-conjugate system based on the well-ordered monomer in a two-dimensional arrangement. The electronic structures of the polydiacetylenes were found to be correlated to the variation of the molecular arrangements in the films from the changes in the NEXAFS spectra through photopolymerization in the LB films. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Spectral change in X-ray absorption near edge structure of DNA thin films irradiated with monochromatic soft X-rays

To reveal the chemical changes induced in DNA by irradiation with ionizing radiation, we have investigated the spectral change in the X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) of DNA resulting from exposure to monochromatic soft X-rays. We used a thin film of calf thymus DNA as a sample and observed nitrogen K-shell and oxygen K-shell XANES spectra. The typical monochromatic soft X-ray energies used for the irradiation (395, 408, 528, and 538 eV) were obtained from a soft X-ray beamline (BL23SU, SPring-8). These energies correspond to those just below or just above the nitrogen and oxygen K-shell ionization energy, respectively. The obtained XANES spectra show significant changes by irradiation. Particularly a new π* resonance peak in oxygen XANES spectra evidently appeared by the irradiation above oxygen K-shell ionization potential. These results suggest that carbonyl groups, presumably a propenal group (OC–CC), may be produced in the sample by oxygen ionization. Thus characteristic damage induced by induction in the DNA molecule would be predicted following exposure to monochromatized synchrotron soft X-rays.

Hydrothermal Synthesis,Crystal Structure Determination,and Magnetic Properties of a New Calcium Iron Iridium Hydrogarnet Ca3(Ir2–xFex)(FeO4)2–x(O4H4)1+x with 0 ≤ x ≤ 1

The new calcium iron iridium hydrogarnet Ca₃(Ir_2–xFe_x)(FeO₄)_2–x(H₄O₄)_1+x (0 ≤ x ≤ 1) was obtained by hydrothermal synthesis under strongly oxidizing alkaline conditions. The compound adopts a garnet‐like crystal structure and crystallizes in the acentric cubic space group I4 3d (no. 220) with a = 12.5396(6) Å determined at T = 100 K for a crystal with a refined composition Ca₃(Ir_1.4Fe_0.6)(FeO₄)_1.4(O₄H₄)_1.6. Iridium and iron statistically occupy the octahedrally coordinated metal position, the two crystallographically independent tetrahedral sites are partially occupied by iron. Hydroxide groups are found to cluster as hydrogarnet defects, i.e. partially substituting oxide anions around the empty tetrahedral metal sites. The presence of hydroxide ions was confirmed by infrared spectroscopy and the hydrogen content was quantified by carrier gas hot extraction; the overall composition was verified by energy dispersive X‐ray spectroscopy. The structure model is supported by ⁵⁷Fe‐Mössbauer spectroscopic data evidencing different Fe sites and a magnetic ordering of the octahedral iron sublattice at room temperature. The thermal decomposition proceeds via three steps of water loss and results in Ca₂Fe₂O₅, Fe₂O₃ and Ir. Mössbauer and magnetization data suggest magnetic order at ambient temperature with complex magnetic interactions.

New Phases in the Lithiumnitridovanadate System — The Solid Solution Li7‐2xMgx[VN4] with 0 ≤ x ≤ 1

Solid solution phases Li_7‐2xMg_x[VN₄] (0 < x ≤ 1) with varying Mg‐content are obtained as yellow microcrystalline powders from heat treatment of mixtures of VN, Li₃N and Mg₃N₂ or from mixtures of Li₇[VN₄] and Mg₃N₂ at 1370 K in N₂ atmosphere at ambient pressure. At substitution parameter values of x > 0.5 a subsequent distortion from the ideal cubic unit cell to an orthorhombic unit cell is observed. The crystal structure of Li_7‐2xMg_x[VN₄] with x ≈ 1 was refined from neutron and X‐ray powder diffraction data (space group Pbca, No. 61, a = 963.03(3) pm, b = 958.44(3) pm, c = 951.93(2) pm, neutron pattern 14° — 156° 2θ, step non‐linear ≈ 0.0782° 2θ, No. of measured points 1816, R_p = 0.089, R_wp = 0.115, R_Bragg = 0.155, R_F = 0.114; X‐ray pattern 10° — 98° 2θ, step 0.005° 2θ, No. of measured points 17600, R_p = 0.028, R_wp = 0.045, R_Bragg = 0.113, R_F = 0.133, structure variables: 45). The crystal structure resembles a Li₂O type superstructure with the atomic arrangement of β‐Li₇[VN₄] and with two crystallographic Li‐sites each substituted by Mg with statistical occupation factors of 0.5. Chemical analyses prove the composition and XAS spectroscopy at the V K‐edge support the +5 oxidation state assignment for vanadium. XAS data also support the tetrahedral coordination of vanadium by N as indicated by the structure refinements.     

Synthesis,X-ray crystal structure,and electrochemistry of trans-bis(ferrocenecarboxylato)(tetraphenylporphyrinato)tin(IV)

trans-Bis(ferrocenecarboxylato)(5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrinato)tin(IV) complex Sn(TPP)(FcCOO)₂ has been synthesized and fully characterized. The X-ray structural analysis of Sn(TPP)(FcCOO)₂ reveals that the tin(IV) center is octahedrally coordinated by the porphyrin occupying the square base and axial coordination of two ferrocenecarboxylato ligands in an anti orientation with respect to each other. The Fe(II) center of the ferrocenecarboxylato ligand lies 5.7 Å from the tin(IV) center of the porphyrin ring. The cyclic voltammogram of Sn(TPP)(FcCOO)₂ exhibits three distinctive redox couples consisting of one oxidative wave and two reductive waves due to the ferrocenecarboxylato ligands and the porphyrin ring, respectively.     

Local structure and oxidation state of uranium in some ternary oxides: X-ray absorption analysis

We investigated the local atomic and electronic structures of two related systematic sets of ternary uranium oxides, NaUO₃-KUO₃-RbUO₃ and BaUO₃-Ba₂U₂O₇-BaUO₄, by measuring the X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES). The results are compared with calculations based on a self-consistent real space full multiple scattering analysis. We found a very good agreement between measured and calculated spectra, which indicates that the uranium ions are in a pure U⁵⁺ oxidation state in these compounds. The low energy shoulder observed in the U L₃ edge XANES is an intrinsic feature of the uranium unoccupied 6d electronic states of the U⁵⁺ ions within the studied materials. Specific double shoulder features in the higher energy range of the U L₃ edge XANES can be interpreted as indicative of the pure cubic perovskite structure.     

The series RE5Li2Sn7 (RE = Ce,Pr, Nd,Sm) revisited: crystal structure of RE5Li2−xSn7+x [0 ≤x≤ 0.03 (1)]

The series of RE₅Li₂Sn₇ (RE = Ce–Sm) compounds were synthesized by high‐temperature reactions and structurally characterized by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. The compounds are pentacerium dilithium heptastannide, Ce₅Li_1.97Sn_7.03, pentapreseodymium dilithium heptastannide, Pr₅Li_1.98Sn_7.02, pentaneodymium dilithium heptastannide, Nd₅Li_1.99Sn_7.01, and pentasamarium dilithium heptastannide, Sm₅Li₂Sn₇. All five compounds crystallize in the chiral orthorhombic space group P2₁2₁2₁ (No. 19), which is relatively uncommon among intermetallic phases. The structure belongs to the Ce₅Li₂Sn₇ structure type (Pearson symbol oP56), with 14 unique atoms in the asymmetric unit. Minor compositional variations exist, due to the mixed occupancy of Li and Sn atoms at one of the Li sites. The small occupational disorder is most evident for RE₅Li_2−xSn_7+x (RE = Ce, Pr; x≃ 0.03), while the structure of Nd₅Li₂Sn₇ and Sm₅Li₂Sn₇ show no apparent disorder.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of a Decanuclear Silver（I）-thiolate Compound Ag10S[S2P（OEt）2]8

A new decanuclear silver(I) compound Ag₁₀(μ₈‐S)(dtp)₈ [dtp=S₂P(OEt)₂] was isolated from a reaction mixture containing W₂S₄(dtp)₂ and AgN0₃, and its solid‐state molecular structure was determinated by X‐ray crystallography.

X-ray absorption fine structure study of amorphous metal oxide thin films prepared by photochemical metalorganic deposition

The oxidation state and local geometry of the metal centers in amorphous thin films of Fe₂O₃ (Fe³⁺ oxidation state), CoFe₂O₄ (Co²⁺/Fe³⁺ oxidation states), and Cr₂O₃ (Cr³⁺ oxidation state) are determined using K edge X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) spectroscopy and extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectroscopy. The metal oxide thin films were prepared by the solid-state photochemical decomposition of the relevant metal 2-ethylhexanoates, spin cast as thin films. No peaks are observed in the X-ray diffraction patterns, indicating the metal oxides are X-ray amorphous. The oxidation state of the metals is determined from the edge position of the K absorption edges, and in the case of iron-containing samples, an analysis of the pre-edge peaks. In all cases, the EXAFS analysis indicates the first coordination shell consists of oxygen atoms in an octahedral geometry, with a second shell consisting of metals. No higher shells are observed beyond 3.5 Å for all samples, indicating the metal oxides are truly amorphous, consistent with X-ray diffraction results.
