Influence of mechanical activation time,annealing, and Fe/O ratio on Fe3O4/Fe composites formation from Fe2O3 and Fe powders mixture

Commercially, iron (α-Fe) and hematite (α-Fe₂O₃) powders were used for the synthesis of composite powders of Fe₂O₃/Fe type by mechanical milling. Several ratios of Fe₂O₃/Fe were chosen for the composite synthesis; the atomic percent of oxygen in the starting mixtures ranged from 21 to 46 %. The Fe₂O₃/Fe composite samples with various Fe/O ratios were milled for different milling times. The milled composite samples were subjected to the heat treatments in argon up to 900 °C. During the heat treatment at temperatures that do not exceed 550 °C, Fe₃O₄/Fe composite particles are formed by the reaction between the Fe₂O₃ and Fe. Further increase of the heat treatment up to 700 °C leads to the reaction of the Fe₃O₄/Fe composite component phases, resulting thus in the formation of FeO/Fe composite. The heat treatment up to 900 °C of the Fe₂O₃/Fe leads to the formation of a composite of FeO/Fe₃O₄/Fe independent of the milling time and Fe₂O₃/Fe ratios. The onset temperatures of the Fe₃O₄ and FeO formations decrease upon increasing the milling time. Another important aspect is that, in the case of the same milling time but with a large amount of iron into the composite powder the formations temperatures of Fe₃O₄ and FeO are also decreasing. The influence of the mechanical activation time, heat treatment temperature, and Fe/O ratio on the formation of the (Fe₃O₄, FeO)/Fe composite from Fe₂O₃+Fe precursor mixtures was studied by differential scanning calorimetry and X-ray diffraction techniques.     

The L Spectrum of Fe and Fe3O4

The intensities of the Fe L lines/bands l = L₃M₁, η = L₂M₁, α_1,2 = L₃M_4,5, β₁ = L₂M₄, and β_3,4 = L₁M_2,3 were measured for pure Fe and Fe₃O₄ using a TAP crystal as the dispersing element. The energy of the exciting electrons, E₀, was varied in the range 5 ≤ E₀ ≤ 25 keV. For pure Fe the following results were obtained. The net peak height ratio Ll/Lα remains relatively constant with varying E₀ at approximately 14%. The E₀ dependence of Lη is similar to that of Ll, although Lη is less intense than Ll by a factor of 7. Lβ₁/Lα decreases from 20% for E₀ = 5 keV to about 5% for 25 keV. Lβ_3,4 behaves like Lβ₁ but is weaker by a factor of 15. For Fe₃O₄ a much weaker intensity of Lα was observed which can be partially explained by its stronger absorption. Again, the E₀ dependence of Ll and Lη is similar with Ll/Lα = 19% and Lη/Lα = 4%. Lβ₁ and Lβ_3,4 show a comparable E₀ dependence. Lβ₁/Lα decreases from 50% for E₀ = 5 keV to 34% for 25 keV. Lβ_3,4 is weaker than Lβ₁ by a factor of about 25. The observed E₀ dependence of the different lines was used to estimate a set of mass absorption coefficients. Our value for Lα in Fe agrees well with other data which were deduced from variable E₀ measurements but differs considerably from data given by Heinrich and Henke.

Electronic behavior of three oxygen non-stoichiometric Fe/Fe oxoperovskites

For comparison with the Mn⁴⁺/Mn³⁺ oxoperovskites at the crossover from localized to itinerant behavior of the σ-bonding e electrons, the electronic properties of three oxygen non-stoichiometric, mixed-valent Fe⁴⁺/Fe³⁺ oxoperovskites were explored by measuring their resistivity ρ(T), thermoelectric power α(T), and magnetic susceptibility χ(T). Oxidation of Ca₂Fe₂O₅ by annealing in ozone progresses by oxygen insertion to give conductive CaFeO₃ perovskite clusters in a localized-electron, weakly oxidized brownmillerite Ca₂Fe₂O_5+δ matrix. Removal of 0.12 oxygen per formula unit from La_1/3Sr_2/3FeO₃ lowers somewhat its cooperative disproportionation reaction, and fivefold-coordinated ions neighboring oxygen vacancies in the more ionically bonded slabs act as donors to the covalently bonded Fe(V)O₆ planes. Single-crystal SrFeO_2.83 exhibited bad-metal behavior with superparamagnetic, electron-rich fluctuations below 240 K that, on cooling below 190 K, become progressively trapped by the oxide-ion vacancies as an immobile second phase; long-range antiferromagnetic order is stabilized below a T_N≈60 K.     

Structure and properties of iron oxide clusters: From Fe6 to Fe6O20 and from Fe7 to Fe7O24

Geometrical and electronic structures of the neutral and singly negatively charged Fe₆O_n and Fe₇O_m clusters in the range of 1 ≤ n ≤ 20 and 1 ≤ m ≤ 24, respectively, are computed using density functional theory with the generalized gradient approximation. The largest clusters in the two series, Fe₆O₂₀ and Fe₇O₂₄, can be described as Fe(FeO₄)₅ and Fe(FeO₄)₆ or alternatively as [FeO₅](FeO₃)₅ and [FeO₆](FeO₃)₆, respectively. The Fe₆O₂₀ and Fe₇O₂₄ clusters possess adiabatic electron affinities (EA_ad) of 5.64 eV and 5.80 eV and can be attributed to the class of hyperhalogens since FeO₄ is an unique closed‐shell superhalogen with the EA_ad of 3.9 eV. The spin character of the lowest total energy states in both series changes from ferromagnetic to ferrimagnetic or antiferromagnetic when the first Fe? O? Fe bridge is formed. Oxidation decreases substantially the polarizability per atom of the initial bare clusters; namely, from 5.98 ų of Fe₆ to 2.47 ų of Fe₆O₂₀ and from 5.67 ų of Fe₇ to 2.38 ų of Fe₇O₂₄. The results of our computations pertaining to the binding energies of O, Fe, O₂, and FeO in the Fe₇O_m series provide an explanation for the experimentally observed abundance of the iron oxide nanoparticles with stoichiometric compositions. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

Oxygen on Fe(100) and Fe(110)

Investigations of the electronic and magnetic properties of oxygen adsorbed on magnetized iron films have been carried out by means of angle and spin resolving photoelectron spectroscopy. Iron, epitaxially grown on W(100) and W(110) crystals, served as the ferromagnetic substrate. Exchange splittings of the O 2p_x derived level have been detected, demonstrating a magnetic coupling between the chemisorbate and the iron layer. Variations of the exchange splitting have occurred as a function of the oxygen coverage, photon energy, and emission angle. High oxygen exposures have lead to a FeO overlayer at the surface.

Synthesis and characterisation of Fe6 and Fe12 clusters using bicine

Reaction of bicine {BicH₃, N,N-bis(2-hydroxyethyl)glycine} with an Fe(III) oxo-centered pivalate triangle in MeCN in the presence of Et₂NH yields [Et₂NH₂]₂[Fe₆O₂(OH)₂(Bic)₂(O₂CCMe₃)₈], which possesses an S = 5 ground state.Changing the base to NaOMe produces [Fe₁₂O₄(Bic)₄(HBic)₄(O₂CCMe₃)₈], which contains two Fe₆ units bridged by the carboxylate arms from the bicine ligands. The complex displays strong antiferromagnetic coupling leading to an S = 0 ground state.     

Methanolysis and phenolysis routes to Fe6, Fe8, and Fe1) complexes and their magnetic properties: a new type of Fe8 ferric wheel

Alcoholysis of preformed tetranuclear and hexanuclear iron(III) clusters has been employed for the synthesis of four higher-nuclearity clusters. Treatment of [Fe(4)O(2)(O(2)CMe)(7)(bpy)(2)](ClO(4)) with phenol affords the hexanuclear cluster [Fe(6)O(3)(O(2)CMe)(9)(OPh)(2)(bpy)(2)](ClO(4)) (1). Reaction of [Fe(6)O(2)(OH)(2)(O(2)CR)(10)(hep)(2)] (R = Bu(t) or Ph) with PhOH affords the new "ferric wheel" complexes [Fe(8)(OH)(4)(OPh)(8)(O(2)CR)(12)] [R = Bu(t) (2) or Ph (3)]. Complexes 2 and 3 exhibit the same structure, which is an unprecedented type for Fe(III). In contrast, treatment of [Fe(6)O(2)(OH)(2)(O(2)CBu(t))(10)(hep)(2)] with MeOH leads to the formation of [Fe(10)(OMe)(20)(O(2)CBu(t))(10)] (4), which exhibits the more common type of ferric wheel seen in analogous complexes with other carboxylate groups. Solid-state variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility measurements indicate spin-singlet ground states for complexes 2 and 4. The recently developed semiempirical method ZILSH was used to estimate the pairwise exchange parameters (J(AB)) and the average spin couplings S(A)[empty set].S(B)[empty set] between the Fe(III) centers, providing a clear depiction of the overall magnetic behavior of the molecules. All exchange interactions between adjacent Fe(III) atoms are antiferromagnetic.

Fe L-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy of low-spin heme relative to non-heme Fe complexes: delocalization of Fe d-electrons into the porphyrin ligand

Hemes (iron porphyrins) are involved in a range of functions in biology, including electron transfer, small-molecule binding and transport, and O2 activation. The delocalization of the Fe d-electrons into the porphyrin ring and its effect on the redox chemistry and reactivity of these systems has been difficult to study by optical spectroscopies due to the dominant porphyrin pi-->pi(*) transitions, which obscure the metal center. Recently, we have developed a methodology that allows for the interpretation of the multiplet structure of Fe L-edges in terms of differential orbital covalency (i.e., differences in mixing of the d-orbitals with ligand orbitals) using a valence bond configuration interaction (VBCI) model. Applied to low-spin heme systems, this methodology allows experimental determination of the delocalization of the Fe d-electrons into the porphyrin (P) ring in terms of both P-->Fe sigma and pi-donation and Fe-->P pi back-bonding. We find that pi-donation to Fe(III) is much larger than pi back-bonding from Fe(II), indicating that a hole superexchange pathway dominates electron transfer. The implications of the results are also discussed in terms of the differences between heme and non-heme oxygen activation chemistry.     

Sorption of ruthenium-97 on Fe2O3, Fe(OH)3 and Fe(OH)2 precipitates

Summary The effect of pH on the sorption of ruthenium-97 on Fe₂O₃, Fe(OH)₃ and Fe(OH)₂ precipitates was studied by radiotracer technique. The sorption characteristics of Fe₂O₃, Fe(OH)₃ and Fe(OH)₂ sorbents have been established. Iron(II) hydroxide can be used for the preconcentration of ruthenium-97 or generally of trace amounts of ruthenium, without regard to the oxidation state of ruthenium. The effect of duration of the contact between the hydroxide sorbent and ruthenium-97 in solution was also studied.

Fe(III)Fe(III) and Fe(II)Fe(III) Complexes as Synthetic Analogues for the Oxidized and Reduced Forms of Purple Acid Phosphatases

Novel Fe(III)Fe(III) and Fe(II)Fe(III) complexes [Fe(2)(BBPMP)(&mgr;-OAc)(&mgr;-X)](n)() (1, X = OAc(-), n = 1+; 2, X = OH(-), n = 1+; 3, X = OAc(-), n = 0; 4, X = OH(-), n = 0), where BBPMP(3)(-) is the anion of 2,6-bis[(2-hydroxybenzyl)(2-pyridylmethyl)aminomethyl]-4-methylphenol, and OAc(-) is acetate, were prepared in order to provide models for the active site of purple acid phosphatases (PAPs). Complex 1 was obtained by the reaction of H(3)BBPMP with Fe(ClO(4))(2).6H(2)O in methanol and sodium acetate trihydrate under ambient conditions, while complex 3 was synthesized as described for 1, under an argon atmosphere with low levels of dioxygen. 2 was isolated from 1in acetonitrile by a substitution of the bridging acetate group by hydroxide, while 4 was generated in solution during a spectropotentiostatic experiment on 2, under argon. Complex 1, [Fe(III)(2)(BBPMP)(&mgr;-OAc)(2)]ClO(4).H(2)O, has been characterized by X-ray crystallography. Crystal data: monoclinic, space group P2(1)/n, a = 14.863(5) ?, b = 12.315(3) ?, c = 20.872(8) ?, beta = 90.83(3) degrees, Z = 4. IR, M?ssbauer, magnetic, electronic absorption, and electrochemical properties of 1-3 have been investigated, and some of these properties represent a contribution to the understanding of the dinuclear iron center of PAPs. Complexes 2, [Fe(III)(2)(BBPMP)(&mgr;-OAc)(&mgr;-OH)]ClO(4) (lambda(max) = 568 nm/epsilon = 4760 M(-)(1) cm(-)(1)), and 4 [Fe(II)Fe(III)(BBPMP)(&mgr;-OAc)(&mgr;-OH)] (lambda(max) = 516 nm/epsilon = 4560 M(-)(1) cm(-)(1)), constitute good synthetic analogues for the chromophoric site for the oxidized and reduced forms, respectively, of the enzyme.     

Determination of55Fe/58Fe and59Fe/58Fe isotopic ratios in irradiated Na2/FeNO/CN/5/.2H2O by SSMS

A procedure for the measurement of the isotopic composition of Fe in rradiated Na₂/FeNO/CN/₅/.2H₂O samples by SSMS is described. Decomposition with K₂S₂O₇, followed by extraction of Fe was necessary to eliminate interferences in the mass spectra. A study of the remaining interferences showed that they were of organic origin from the residual MIBK used for the extraction. The order of magnitude of the⁵⁵Fe/⁵⁸Fe and⁵⁹Fe/⁵⁸Fe ratios was calculated.SSMS: spark source mass spectrometry.
