A new layered organically templated iron(II) phosphite, (C2H10N2)[Fe3(HPO3)4]. Hydrothermal synthesis, crystal structure and spectroscopic and magnetic properties

The (C₂H₁₀N₂)[Fe₃(HPO₃)₄] compound has been synthesized by using mild hydrothermal conditions under autogeneous pressure and the ethylenediamine molecule as templating agent. The compound crystallizes in the triclinic space group with unit-cell parameters a=5.416(1), b=5.416(1), c=13.977(2) Å, α=80.64(2), β=85.25(1), γ=60.03(1)° and Z=1.

Kinetics of Mn2O3 digestion in H2SO4 solutions

The kinetics of Mn₂O₃ digestion in various H₂SO₄ solutions (0.5-2.0 M) and at various temperatures (ambient to 80 °C) to form solid γ-MnO₂ and soluble Mn(II) have been examined using X-ray diffraction. Using a modified first-order Avrami expression to describe digestion kinetics, rate constants in the range 0.02-0.98 h⁻¹ were found for Mn₂O₃ disappearance, and 0.03-0.42 h⁻¹ for γ-MnO₂ formation, with higher H₂SO₄ concentrations and temperatures leading to faster conversion rates. Also, for a particular set of experimental conditions, the rate of γ-MnO₂ formation was always slower than Mn₂O₃ disappearance. This was interpreted in terms of the solubility and stability of the soluble Mn(III) intermediated formed during the digestion. Activation energies for Mn₂O₃ dissolution and γ-MnO₂ formation were also determined.

Hydrothermal synthesis and crystal structure of Cs6[(UO2)4(W5O21)(OH)2(H2O)2]: a new polar uranyl tungstate

The hydrothermal reaction of UO₃, WO₃, and CsIO₄ leads to the formation of Cs₆[(UO₂)₄(W₅O₂₁)(OH)₂(H₂O)₂] and UO₂(IO₃)₂(H₂O). Cs₆[(UO₂)₄(W₅O₂₁)(OH)₂(H₂O)₂] is the first example of a hydrothermally synthesized uranyl tungstate. It's structure has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Crystallographic data: tetragonal, space group I4 cm, , , Z=4, MoKα, , R(F)=2.84% for 135 parameters with 2300 reflections with I>2σ(I). The structure is comprised of two-dimensional anionic layers that are separated by Cs⁺ cations. The coordination polyhedra found in the novel layers consist of UO₇ pentagonal bipyramids, WO₆ distorted octahedra, and WO₅ square pyramids. The UO₇ polyhedra are formed from the binding of five equatorial oxygen atoms around a central uranyl, UO₂²⁺, unit. Both bridging and terminal oxo ligands are employed in forming the WO₅ square pyramidal units, while oxo, hydroxo, and aqua ligands are found in the WO₆ distorted octahedra. In the layers, four (UO₂)O₅ polyhedra corner share with equatorial oxygen atoms to form a U₄O₂₄ tetramer entity with a square site in the center; a tungsten atom populates the center of each of these sites to form a U₄WO₂₅ pentamer unit. The pentamer units that result are connected in two dimensions by edge-shared dimers of WO₆ octahedra to form the two-dimensional [(UO₂)₄(W₅O₂₁)(OH)₂(H₂O)₂]^6- layers. The lack of inversion symmetry in Cs₆[(UO₂)₄(W₅O₂₁)(OH)₂(H₂O)₂] can be directly contributed to the WO₅ square pyramids found in the pentamer units. In the structure, all of these polar polyhedra align their terminal oxygens in the same orientation, along the c axis, thus resulting in a polar compound.
