Structural studies of indium and thallium insertion into the framework of the cluster compound Ti2Nb6Cl14O4

We have investigated the possibility of altering the electronic configuration of the niobium oxochloride cluster compound Ti2Nb6Cl14O4 (I) by doping this material with monovalent cations that can fit into cavities present in its cluster framework. The doping of I with In+ and Tl+ ions resulted in the formation of MxTi2Nb6Cl14-xO4+x (M = In, x = 0.10, 0.20, 0.27; M = Tl, x = 0.10, 0.20) in which the M+ ions partially occupy these cavities. The crystal structure analysis indicated that the additional charge provided by M+ ions is compensated by substitution of chlorine by oxygen, which leads to the cluster electronic configuration being intact. Crystal data: In0.272Ti2Nb6Cl13.728O4.272, space group C2/c (No. 15), a = 12.679(2) A, b = 14.567(2) A, c = 12.632(3) A, beta = 95.26(2) degrees, Z = 4; Tl0.196Ti2Nb6Cl13.804O4.196, space group C2/c (no. 15), a = 12.732(1) A, b = 14.607(2) A, c = 12.662(2) A, beta = 95.28(1) degrees, Z = 4.

The use of OPW's in the Lindgren approximation of conduction-core exchange and the lattice dynamical properties of rubidium

This paper reports a first principles nonlocal pseudopotential calculation for the lattice dynamical properties of rubidium metal. In these calculations, an orthogonalized plane wave (OPW) has been used for the first time to represent the conduction state in the Lindgren approximation of conduction-core exchange. A comparison is made of phonon spectra and elastic shear constants using both plane wave (PW) and OPW conduction states. It is found that the OPW results are in excellent agreement with experiment and consistently better than the PW results for both phonon spectra and elastic constant. Similar results are found for other simple alkali metals.     

A study of some 1-alkyl-2,3-dihydroimidazo[1,2-a]benzimidazoles

A series of 1-alkyl-7-nitro (and 7-amino)-2,3-dihydroimidazo[1,2-α]benzimidazoles has been prepared. Similarly, a series of 1-alkyl-2,3-dihydroimidazo[1,2-α]benzimidazoles has been prepared. The prototropic tautomerism of this system has been studied. The site of electrophilic attack (alkylation) has been examined. 1-Alkylation takes place under strongly basic conditions and 9-alkylation occurs under neutral conditions.
