Synthesis and crystal structure of the first chain-type nitridosilicates RE5Si3N9 (RE = La,Ce)

The novel branched chain-type nitridosilicates Ce₅Si₃N₉ and La₅Si₃N₉ have been synthesized in a radio-frequency furnace starting from the respective metals and silicon diimide Si(NH)₂ at 1625 °C for La₅Si₃N₉ and 1650 °C for Ce₅Si₃N₉, respectively. The structure of Ce₅Si₃N₉ has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction (Ce₅Si₃N₉, Cmca (no. 64), a = 10.567(2) Å, b = 11.329(2) Å, c = 15.865(3) Å, V = 1899.3 Å³, Z = 8, R₁ = 0.0391, 1480 independent reflections, 90 refined parameters). The structure of isotypic La₅Si₃N₉ has been refined by the Rietveld method, starting from single-crystal data of Ce₅Si₃N₉ (La₅Si₃N₉, Cmca (no. 64), a = 10.647(4) Å, b = 11.414(4) Å, c = 16.030(5) Å, V = 1948.1 Å³, Z = 8, R_P = 0.0348, R_F² = 0.0533). Both compounds are built up of alternating Q²- and Q³-type corner sharing SiN₄ tetrahedra with additional corner sharing Q¹-units attached to the Q³-tetrahedra pointing alternately in opposing directions. These zipper-like chains are intertwined in both directions perpendicular to the chain itself to form a three-dimensionally interlocked structure with the rare-earth ions situated between the chains. Magnetic measurements resulted in a ferromagnetic ground state with a magnetic moment in agreement with Ce³⁺.     

Vacuum ultraviolet spectroscopic properties of rare earth (RE) (RE = Eu,Tb, Dy,Sm, Tm)-doped K2GdZr(PO4)3 phosphate

The luminescent characteristics of RE (RE³⁺ = Eu, Tb, Dy, Sm and Tm)-doped K₂GdZr(PO₄)₃ have been investigated. The band in the range of 130–157 nm in the VUV excitation spectra of these compounds is attributed to the host lattice or PO₄^3? group absorption and the band from 157 nm to 215 nm with the maximum at 188 nm is due to the O–Zr charge transfer transition. For Eu³⁺-doped sample, the relatively weak band of O^2?–Eu³⁺ charge transfer (CTB) at 222 nm is observed and for Tb³⁺-doped sample, the band at 223 nm is related to the 4f–5d spin-allowed transition of Tb³⁺. For Dy³⁺- and Sm³⁺-doped samples, the O^2?–Dy³⁺ and O^2?–Sm³⁺ CTBs have not been observed, probably due to the 2p electrons of oxygen tightly bound to the zirconium ion in the host lattice. In Tm³⁺-doped sample, the weak O^2?–Tm³⁺ CTB is located at 170 nm. It is observed that there is energy transfer between the host and the luminescent activators (e.g. Eu³⁺, Tb³⁺ and Sm³⁺) except for Tm³⁺.

Thermal decomposition of Pr[(C5H8NS2)(C12H8N2)]

The thermal behavior of the complex Pr[(C₅H₈NS₂)(C₁₂H₈N₂)] in a dry nitrogen flow was examined by TG-DTG analysis. The TG-DTG investigations indicated that Pr[(C₅H₈NS₂)(C₁₂H₈N₂)] was decomposed into Pr₂S₃ and deposited carbon in one step where Pr₂S₃ predominated in the final products. The results of non-isothermal kinetic calculations showed that the decomposition stage was the random nucleation and subsequent growth mechanism(n = 2/3), the corresponding apparent activation energyE was 115.89 kJ•mol⁻¹ and the pre-exponential constant In[A/s] was 7.8697. The empirical kinetics model equation was proposed as\(f(\alpha ) = \frac{3}{2}(1 - \alpha )[ - 1n(1 - \alpha )]^{\frac{1}{3}} \). The X-ray powder diffraction patterns of the thermal decomposition products at 800 °C under N₂ atmosphere show that the product can be indexed to the cubic Pr₂S₃ phase. The transmission electron microscopy (TEM) of the final product reveals the particle appearance of a diameter within 40 nm. The experimental results show that the praseodymium sulfide nanocrystal can be prepared from thermal decomposition of Pr[(C₅H₈NS₂)(C₁₂H₈N₂)].

     

Synthesis and luminescent properties of LaInO3: RE3+ (RE = Sm,Pr and Tb) nanocrystalline phosphors for field emission displays

LaInO₃: Sm³⁺, LaInO₃: Pr³⁺ and LaInO₃: Tb³⁺ phosphors were prepared through a Pechini-type sol–gel process. X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy, photoluminescence, and cathodoluminescence (CL) spectra were utilized to characterize the synthesized phosphors. XRD results reveal that the pure LaInO₃ phase can also be obtained at 700 °C. FE-SEM images indicate that the LaInO₃: Sm³⁺, LaInO₃: Pr³⁺ and LaInO₃: Tb³⁺ phosphors are composed of aggregated spherical particles with sizes around 80–120 nm. Under the excitation of ultraviolet light and low voltage electron beams (1–5 kV), the LaInO₃: Sm³⁺, LaInO₃: Pr³⁺ and LaInO₃: Tb³⁺ phosphors show the characteristic emissions of Sm³⁺ (⁴G_5/2–⁶H_5/2,7/2,9/2 transitions, yellow), Pr³⁺ (³P₀–³H₄, ³P₁–³H₅, ¹D₂–³H₄ and ³P₀–³F₂ transitions, blue–green) and Tb³⁺ (⁵D₄–⁷F_6,5,4,3 transitions, green) respectively.

Magnetic properties of RE2MnGe6 (RE = La,Ce) and YMn0.3Ge2 germanides

The magnetic data of RE₂MnGe₆ (RE = La, Ce) and YMn_0.3Ge₂ are reported. La₂MnGe₆ and Ce₂MnGe₆ crystallize in the orthorhombic Ce₂CuGe₆ structure type, space group Amm2 (No. 38). The non-stoichiometric YMn_0.3Ge₂ compound crystallizes with the orthorhombic CeNiSi₂-type structure (space group Cmcm (No. 36)). The studied RE₂MnGe₆ (RE = La, Ce) intermetallics are characterized by ferromagnetic properties with Curie temperatures 177 (La) and 150 K (Ce), respectively. For YMn_0.3Ge₂ the low-field magnetic measurements indicate the antiferromagnetic property below 395 K with the small ferromagnetic component. The values of the magnetic moments in the ordered state indicate the ferromagnetic ordering in La₂MnGe₆ and complex magnetic order with the ferromagnetic component in YMn_0.3Ge₂ and Ce₂MnGe₆. The hysteresis loop and values of the coercivity field indicate that these compounds are soft magnetic materials.
