Homogeneity regions of neodymium,samarium, and europium manganites in air

XRD phase analysis of homogeneous phases and heterogeneous compositions of general formula Ln_2?x Mn_xO_3±δ (Ln = Nd, Sm, Eu; 0.90 ≤ x ≤ 1.20; Δx = 0.22) prepared by ceramic synthesis from oxides in air at 900–1400°C was used to determine the solubility boundaries for Ln₂O₃ oxides and maganese oxides in LnMnO_3±δ. The results were represented as fragments of the phase diagrams for the Ln-Mn-O systems in air. It was assumed that the solubility of Ln₂O₃ oxides in LnMnO_3±δ is determined by lattice defects, while that of manganese oxides, in addition to above mechanism, by the disproportionation reaction 2Mn³⁺ = Mn²⁺ + Mn⁴⁺ followed by the partial substitution of divalent magnesium for Ln³⁺ at cuboctahedral positions of the perovskitelike crystal lattice.     

The thermodynamic properties of yttrium and dysprosium manganites

The temperature dependences of the Gibbs energies of formation of RMnO₃ (R = Y, Dy) from the coexisting phases R₂O₃ + 2RMn₂O₅ = 4RMnO₃ + 0.5O₂ were determined by the electromotive force (EMF) method with a fluorine ion conducting electrolyte. The temperature dependences of log P (O₂) for the dissociation reactions RMn₂O₅ ? RMnO₃ + (1/3)Mn₃O₄ + (1/3)O₂ and Mn₂O₃ ? (2/3)Mn₃O₄ + (1/6)O₂ were obtained by jointly applying the methods of heterogeneous equilibria and EMF with an oxygen ion conducting electrolyte. The results were used to calculate the standard thermodynamic functions of formation of yttrium and dysprosium manganites from simple oxides.

Synthesis and study of yttrium aluminum garnets doped with neodymium and ytterbium

Ytterbium- and neodymium-substituted yttrium aluminum garnets were obtained by hydroxide coprecipitation and by the cryochemical method. A continuous series of solid solutions in the Y₃Al₅O₁₂ — Yb₃Al₅O₁₂ system and limited solid solutions (Nd _x Y_{1 ? x} )₃Al₅O₁₂ (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.19) were obtained. The synthetic methods used made it possible to reduce the synthesis temperature from 1800 to 950°C and to obtain more homogeneous and nanosized material.     

Homogeneity range of neodymium manganite in air

The solubility boundaries for Nd₂O₃ and manganese oxides in NdMnO_{3 ± δ} have been determined by X-ray powder diffraction analysis of homogeneous phases and heterogeneous compositions of the general formula Nd_{2 ? x} Mn _x O_{3 ± δ} (0.90 ≤ x ≤ 1.20; Δx = 0.02) prepared by ceramic technology from constituent oxides in air in the temperature range 900–1400°C. The results are presented in the form of a fragment of the Nd-Mn-O phase diagram in air. It is suggested that the Nd₂O₃ solubility in NdMnO_{3 ± δ} is due to crystal defects and the solubility of manganese oxides is in addition due to the disproportionation reaction 2Mn³⁺ = Mn²⁺ + Mn⁴⁺ and the subsequent partial substitution of divalent for tervalent manganese ions in the cuboctahedral positions of the perovskite-like crystal lattice. To verify this suggestion, it is necessary to systematically study the oxygen nonstoichiometry δ in Nd_{2 ? x} Mn _x O_{3 ± δ} as a function of x and synthesis temperature and structurally study this oxide with these parameters being varied.

The cations and other [M(OH)₆Mo₆O₁₈]^3? anions in the crystals are linked via hydrogen bonding interactions tightly, forming four supramolecular compounds.

Scandium,yttrium, and ytterbium bisalkyl complexes stabilized by monoanionic amidopyridinate ligands

A reaction of Sc, Y, and Yb amidopyridinate dichlorides with the corresponding amount of LiCH₂SiMe₃ was used to synthesize bis(trimethylsilylmethyl) complexes (Ap)Ln(CH₂SiMe₃)₂-(THF) (Ap is N-mesityl-6-(2,4,6-triisopropylphenyl)pyridine-2-amide (Ap^9Me), Ln = Y (2); Ap is N-(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-6-(2,4,6-triisopropylphenyl)pyridine-2-amide (Ap*), Ln = Sc (3), Yb (4)). An exchange reaction of yttrium amidopyridinate dichloride derivative 1 with 4 equiv. of Bu^tLi in hexane gave the corresponding di-tert-butyl derivative Ap^9MeY(Bu^t)₂(THF) (5). Molecular structures of complexes 3 and 4 were established by X-ray diffraction. A method of the ligand solid angles was used to calculate the completion degree of the metal atom coordination sphere for the series of isomorphic derivatives (Ap*)Ln(CH₂SiMe₃)₂(THF) containing the central metal ions with different ionic radii (Sc, Y, Yb, Lu). According to this method, the amidopyridinate ligand solid angle in these complexes virtually does not vary, while the solid angles of coordinated THF molecule and alkyl ligands vary within a wide range.

The molecular structures of a number of 2,6-dimesitylphenyl-based (2,6-dimesitylphenyl = Dmp) complexes of the group 3 elements scandium and yttrium as well as of the lanthanide element ytterbium are reported. Reaction of 1 equiv of DmpLi with 1 equiv of MCl(3) (M = Sc, Yb, Y) in tetrahydrofuran at room temperature followed by crystallization from toluene/hexanes at -30 degrees C produces DmpMCl(2)(THF)(2) (M = Sc: 1; M = Yb: 2) and DmpMCl(2)(THF)(3) (M = Y: 3), respectively. The one-pot reaction of DmpLi with 1 equiv of YbCl(3) in tetrahydrofuran at room temperature followed by addition of 1 equiv of KO(t)Bu produces the heterobimetallic monoalkoxide complex DmpYb(THF)(O(t)Bu)(mu-Cl)(2)Li(THF)(2) (4), which was crystallized from toluene/tetrahydrofuran (20:1) at -30 degrees C.

The molecular structures of 1-3 feature monomeric complexes with distorted trigonal-bipyramidal (1 and 2) or octahedral (3) coordination geometry about the metal atom, with the two chlorine atoms occupying the axial positions. 4 represents the first example of an alkoxide derivative of a terphenyl lanthanide complex. The molecular structure of the ate complex 4 exhibits a heavily distorted trigonal-bipyramidal coordination polyhedron about the ytterbium atom, with one of the mu-chlorine atoms and the oxygen atom of the tetrahydrofuran ligand representing the axial positions of the trigonal-bipyramidal arrangement. A terminal alkoxide ligand is another main feature of the molecular structure of complex 4.

Thermal decomposition of yttrium,lanthanum and lanthanide complexes of square acid in air atmosphere

The conditions of thermal decomposition of the Y, La and lanthanide complexes of square acid in air atmosphere have been studied. On heating, the complexes of Y, La, Ce(III), Pr(III), Nd, Sm, Eu(III), Gd, Tb(III) and Ho decompose in two steps. First, the hydrated complexes lose crystallization water to form anhydrous salts. The complexes of Dy and Er decompose in three steps; they are dehydrated in two steps to form anhydrous salts. The complexes of Tm, Yb and Lu are dehydrated in three steps; in two steps they lose water molecules to form octahydrates, which in the third step are dehydrated during decomposition. On heating, the anhydrous complexes of Y, Ce(III), Pr(III), Eu(III), Gd, Tb(III), Dy, Ho and Er and the octahydrated salts of Tm, Yb and Lu decompose directly to the oxides Ln₂O₃, CeO₂, Pr₆O₁₁ and Tb₄O₇. The anhydrous complexes of La, Nd and Sm decompose to Ln₂O₃ with intermediate formation of Ln₂O₂CO₃.

Atomic states and interatomic interactions in perovskite-like oxides: XXIV. Influence of yttrium atoms on magnetic properties of lanthanum manganites doped with strontium

Solid solutions of lanthanum manganites doped with strontium and containing 10 and 20% of yttrium were studied by the magnetic dilution method. Examination of the variation of magnetic properties of the solid solutions of isomorphous substitution as a function of the nature and concentration of substituting elements showed a substantial and nonmonotonic influence of the cation composition on physical and chemical properties of doped lanthanum manganites. Introduction of yttrium into the sublattice of heavy elements gives rise to stable magnetic clusters of manganese atoms of various valences.     

Donor-functionalized lanthanide terphenyl complexes: Synthesis and structural characterization of 2,6-di(o-anisol)phenyl compounds of ytterbium,yttrium, and samarium

The syntheses and molecular structures of a number of 2,6-di(o-anisol)phenyl ([double bond]Danip-) -based bis(amide) and bis(alkoxide) compounds of ytterbium, yttrium, and samarium are reported. Additionally, NMR spectroscopic data are reported for the analogous diamagnetic yttrium compounds. Salt metathesis reaction of equimolar amounts of DanipLi and YbCl(3) in tetrahydrofuran at room temperature followed by addition of 2 equiv of KN(SiMe(3))(2) or KN(SiHMe(2))(2) produces DanipYb[N(SiMe(3))(2)](2) (1) and DanipYb[N(SiHMe(2))(2)](2) (2), respectively. The analogous reaction using SmCl(3) and KN(SiHMe(2))(2) produces DanipSm[N(SiHMe(2))(2)](2) (3). Reaction of DanipLi and YbCl(3) in tetrahydrofuran at room temperature followed by addition of 2 equiv of KO(2,6-diisopropylphenyl) produces DanipYb[O(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)](2) (4). Our attempts to also prepare the yttrium analogue of complex 4 yielded single-crystalline material of the tetrahydrofuran adduct DanipY(THF)[O(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)](2) (5). The molecular structures of the complexes 1-4 feature five-coordinate metal atoms and coordination polyhedra which can be described as distorted square-pyramidal rather than trigonal-bipyramidal, with the ipso carbon atom occupying the apical position. On the other hand, the molecular structure of the tetrahydrofuran-solvated yttrium Danip arylalkoxide compound 5 features a six-coordinate metal atom in a distorted trigonal-prismatic coordination environment. In all cases the Danip ligand system adopts the chiral (racemic) d,l form.     

X-ray K-absorption spectrum of yttrium in some yttrium pyrochlores

The X-ray K-absorption edge of yttrium in some pyrochlores of the type YLnFeSbO₇ have been investigated using a 400 mm bent crystal spectrograph. The position of the principal absorption edge was found to have shifted towards the low energy side when Ln was changed from lanthanum through erbium. On the basis of the extended absorption fine structure estimates about the bond lengths have been made using the Lytle's and Levy's techniques.     

Reactivity of ytterbium in liquid ammonia

A solution of metallic ytterbium in liquid ammonia reacts readily with various carbonyl complexes of metals to form the corresponding lanthanide carbonylmetallates. The reaction of an excess of Yb in liquid NH₃ with [CpFe(CO)₂]₂ gave (THF)₄Yb[Fe(CO)₂Cp]₂ in 42% yield. It was suggested that the resulting complex contains two equivalent Yb−Fe bonds.

Corrosion of gadolinium and ytterbium in LiCl-KCl melt

Corrosion of gadolinium and ytterbium in a molten eutectic mixture of lithium and potassium chlorides is studied in the present work using the gravimetry and EMF methods. It is found that the corrosion rate of ytterbium is 3–5 times higher than that of gadolinium under similar conditions. Satisfactory agreement between the current density values of gadolinium corrosion calculated on the basis of the results of the gravimetric data and the values of steady-state potentials points to the electrochemical mechanism of gadolinium corrosion in the LiCl-KCl melt.     

Atom states and interatomic interactions in perovskite-like oxides: XXXV. Magnetic properties of solid solutions of lanthanum manganites doped with ytterbium and calcium in LaAlO<Subscript>3</Subscript>

The solid solutions La_1–YYb_yAlO₃ (y = 0.01–0.20) and La_1–0.397xYb_0.067xCa_0.33xMn_xAl_1–xO₃ (x = 0.01–0.10) were studied by magnetic dilution method. The state of paramagnetic elements and the character of exchange interactions between them were determined on the basis of examination of magnetic properties. Clustering of manganese atoms in the La_1–0.397xYb_0.067xCa_0.33xMn_xAl_1–xO₃ solid solution, as distinct from the La_1–0.67xCa_0.33xMn_xAl_1–xO₃ solid solutions studied before, is determined by the presence of ytterbium atoms in the perovskite structure of the complex oxides under study.
