Metal Assisted Synthesis of Cationic Sulfidobismuth Cubanes in Ionic Liquids

Bi₂S₃ was dissolved in the presence of either AuCl/PtCl₂ or AgCl in the ionic liquids [BMIm]Cl ⋅ xAlCl₃ (BMIm=1-n-butyl-3-methylimidazolium; x=4–4.3) through annealing the mixtures at 180 or 200 °C. Upon cooling to room temperature, orange, air-sensitive crystals of [BMIm](Bi₄S₄)[AlCl₄]₅ ( 1 ) or Ag(Bi₇S₈)[S(AlCl₃)₃]₂[AlCl₄]₂ ( 2 ) precipitated, respectively. 1 did not form in the absence of AuCl/PtCl₂, suggesting an essential role of the metal cations. X-ray diffraction on single-crystals of 1 revealed a monoclinic crystal structure that contains (Bi₄S₄)⁴⁺ heterocubanes and [AlCl₄]⁻ tetrahedra as well as [BMIm]⁺ cations. The intercalation of the ionic liquid was confirmed via solid state NMR spectroscopy, revealing unusual coupling behavior. The crystal structure of 2 consists of (Bi₇S₈)⁵⁺ spiro-dicubanes, [S(AlCl₃)₃]²⁻ tetrahedra triples, isolated [AlCl₄]⁻ tetrahedra, and heavily disordered silver(I) cations. No cation ordering took place in 2 upon slow cooling to 100 K.     

Cationic Bismuth Aminotroponiminates: Charge Controls Redox Properties

The behavior of the redox-active aminotroponiminate (ATI) ligand in the coordination sphere of bismuth has been investigated in neutral and cationic compounds, [Bi(ATI)₃] and [Bi(ATI)₂L_n][A] (L=neutral ligand; n=0, 1; A=counteranion). Their coordination chemistry in solution and in the solid state has been analyzed through (variable-temperature) NMR spectroscopy, line-shape analysis, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses, and their Lewis acidity has been evaluated by using the Gutmann–Beckett method (and modifications thereof). Cyclic voltammetry, in combination with DFT calculations, indicates that switching between ligand- and metal-centered redox events is possible by altering the charge of the compounds from 0 in neutral species to +1 in cationic compounds. This adds important facets to the rich redox chemistry of ATIs and to the redox chemistry of bismuth compounds, which is, so far, largely unexplored.

Effect of nanocrystallinity on lattice dynamics in Bi2Te3 based thermoelectrics

The lattice dynamics in as‐cast and nanocrystalline thermoelectric Bi₂Te₃ based p‐type and n‐type material were investigated using inelastic neutron scattering. Generalized densities of phonon states show substantial agreement between the lattice dynamics in as‐cast samples and previous studies. The lattice dynamics in the nanocrystalline materials differ significantly from its as‐cast counterparts in the acoustic phonon regime. In nanocrystalline p‐type and n‐type compounds, the average acoustic phonon group velocity was found to be reduced to 80(5)% and 95(2)% of the value in as‐cast material. It is argued that point‐defect and strain contrast scattering may play an important role for the understanding of lattice thermal conductivity in (nanocrystalline) Bi₂Te₃ based thermoelectrics beside the observed decrease of sound velocity.

Metal‐Triflate‐Catalyzed Synthesis of Polycyclic Tertiary Alcohols by Cyclization of γ‐Allenic Ketones

It has been established that bismuth(III) triflate catalyzes the cyclization of γ‐allenic ketones under mild reaction conditions. This reaction allows the selective formation of polycyclic tertiary alcohols from cyclic ketone derivatives. The resulting dienols can engage in stereoselective cycloadditions to efficiently afford complex polycyclic systems.     

A Novel Bismuth‐Based Metal–Organic Framework for High Volumetric Methane and Carbon Dioxide Adsorption

Solvothermal reaction of H₄L (L=biphenyl‐3,3′,5,5′‐tetracarboxylate) and Bi(NO₃)₃ ? (H₂O)₅ in a mixture of DMF/MeCN/H₂O in the presence of piperazine and nitric acid at 100 °C for 10 h affords the solvated metal–organic polymer [Bi₂(L)_1.5(H₂O)₂] ? (DMF)_3.5 ? (H₂O)₃ (NOTT‐220‐solv). A single crystal X‐ray structure determination confirms that it crystallises in space group P2/c and has a neutral and non‐interpenetrated structure comprising binuclear {Bi₂} centres bridged by tetracarboxylate ligands. NOTT‐220‐solv shows a 3,6‐connected network having a framework topology with a {4 ? 6²}₂{4² ? 6⁵ ? 8⁸}{6² ? 8} point symbol. The desolvated material NOTT‐220a shows exceptionally high adsorption uptakes for CH₄ and CO₂ on a volumetric basis at moderate pressures and temperatures with a CO₂ uptake of 553 g L^?1 (20 bar, 293 K) with a saturation uptake of 688 g L^?1 (1 bar, 195 K). The corresponding CH₄ uptake was measured as 165 V(STP)/V (20 bar, 293 K) and 189 V(STP/V) (35 bar, 293 K) with a maximum CH₄ uptake for NOTT‐220a recorded at 20 bar and 195 K to be 287 V(STP)/V, while H₂ uptake of NOTT‐220a at 20 bar, 77 K is 42 g L^?1. These gas uptakes have been modelled by grand canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) and density functional theory (DFT) calculations, which confirm the experimental data and give insights into the nature of the binding sites of CH₄ and CO₂ in this porous hybrid material.
