Syntheses and Crystal Structures of Potassium–Lanthanoid(III) Complexes with the 1,2‐Benzenedisulfonate Ligand

The complexes [K(H₂O)₂LnL₂] (Ln = La or Nd; L = 1,2‐benzenedisulfonate) and [K(H₂O)Yb(H₂O)₄L₂] were initially isolated fortuitously from attempts to prepare the corresponding Ln₂L₃ complexes from Ln₂O₃ and H₂L in water. Indeed the bulk products from these reactions have the composition Ln₂L₃. Subsequently, deliberate syntheses by reacting equimolar amounts of Ln₂L₃ with K₂L in water gave the complexes in good yield. X‐ray crystal structures of [K(H₂O)₂LnL₂] (Ln = La or Nd) showed the complexes to be isostructural with a two dimensional polymeric network structure in which LnL₂ units are linked into chains crosslinked by potassium ions. Each Ln is nine coordinate with solely sulfonate oxygen donor atoms. Between adjacent lanthanoid ions there are three different types of sulfonate bridges and two examples of each. Most noteworthy is highly unsymmetrical bridging through μ‐η²‐sulfonate oxygen atoms. Consequently, one Ln–O bond is ca. 0.5 Å longer than the other eight. Potassium is nine‐coordinate with seven sulfonate oxygen atoms and two aqua ligands, and surprisingly <K–O(sulfonate)> is much longer than <K–O(H₂O)>. Pairs of potassium ions are linked by two μ‐η²‐sulfonate oxygen atoms, which are unsymmetrically bridging. The structure of [K(H₂O)Yb(H₂O)₄L₂] comprises discrete tetranuclear units containing two independent ytterbium ions, each coordinated by four water molecules and two chelating (via seven membered rings) disulfonate ligands, and two potassium ions, each coordinated by six sulfonate oxygen atoms and a water molecule. For each potassium, four of the coordinated sulfonate oxygen atoms are from sulfonate ligands bonded to one ytterbium atom and two from sulfonate ligands attached to the other ytterbium atom. In contrast to the Nd and La complexes, <K–O(sulfonate)> is shorter than <K–O(H₂O)>.     

Li mobility in Li0.5 − xNaxLa0.5TiO3 perovskites (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.5): Influence of structural and compositional parameters

The dependence of Li mobility on structure and composition of Li_0.5 − xNa_xLa_0.5TiO₃ perovskites (0 ≤ x ≤  0.5) has been investigated by means of neutron diffraction, nuclear magnetic resonance and impedance spectroscopy. At 300 K, all samples display a rhombohedral superstructure (R-3c S.G.), where octahedra are out of phase tilted along [111] direction of the ideal cubic cell. The elimination of the octahedral tilting is responsible for the rhombohedral–cubic transformation, detected near 1000 K. In these perovskites, La and Na cations are randomly distributed in A sites, but Li ions are fourfold coordinated at unit cell faces of the cubic perovskite. Lithium conductivity, σ_300 K, decreases with the sodium content, decreasing from values typical of fast ionic conductors, 10^− 3 S/cm, to those of good insulators, 10^− 10 S/cm, when the interconnectivity between vacant A sites is lost (x > 0.3). In samples with x < 0.3, dc conductivity displays a non-Arrhenius behaviour, decreasing activation energy from ~ 0.37 to 0.25 eV when the sample is heated between 77 and 500 K. The temperature dependence of B_Li factors shows the existence of two regimes for Li motion. Below 373 K, Li ions remain partially located near square oxygen windows that connect contiguous A sites, but above 400 K, extended Li motions become dominant. The additional decrease of activation energy from 0.25 to 0.16 eV (low-temperature ⁷Li NMR value), should require the full elimination of octahedral tilting which is only produced above 1000 °C.     

Corrosion resistance and blood compatibility of lanthanum ion implanted pure iron by MEVVA

Pure iron is a potential material applying for coronary artery stents based on its biocorrodible and nontoxic properties. However, the degradation characteristics of pure iron in vivo could reduce the mechanical stability of iron stents prematurely. The purpose of this work was to implant the lanthanum ion into pure iron specimens by metal vapor vacuum arc (MEVVA) source at an extracted voltage of 40 kV to improve its corrosion resistance and biocompatibility. The implanted fluence was up to 5 × 10¹⁷ ions/cm². The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was used to characterize the chemical state and depth profiles of La, Fe and O elements. The results showed lanthanum existed in the +3 oxidation state in the surface layer, most of the oxygen combined with lanthanum and form a layer of oxides. The lanthanum ion implantation layer could effectively hold back iron ions into the immersed solution and obviously improved the corrosion resistance of pure iron in simulated body fluids (SBF) solution by the electrochemical measurements and static immersion tests. The systematic evaluation of blood compatibility, including in vitro platelets adhesion, prothrombin time (PT), thrombin time (TT), indicated that the number of platelets adhesion, activation, aggregation and pseudopodium on the surface of the La-implanted samples were remarkably decreased compared with pure iron and 316L stainless steel, the PT and TT were almost the same as the original plasma. It was obviously showed that lanthanum ion implantation could effectively improve the corrosion resistance and blood compatibility of pure iron.

Extending framework based on the linear coordination polymers: Alternative chains containing lanthanum ion and acrylic acid ligand

One-dimensional alternative chains of two lanthanum complexes: [La(L¹)₃(CH₃OH)(H₂O)₂]·5H₂O (L¹=anion of α-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid ) 1 and [La(L²)₃(H₂O)₂]·3H₂O (L²=anion of trans-3-(4-methyl-benzoyl)-acrylic acid) 2 were synthesized and structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, element analysis, IR and thermogravimetric analysis. The crystal structure data are as follows for 1: C₃₁H₃₆LaN₃O₁₇, triclinic, P-1, , , , α=72.7960(10)°, β=83.3820(10)°, γ=67.1650(10)º, Z=2, R₁=0.0377, wR₂=0.0746; for 2: C₃₃H₃₇LaO₁₄, triclinic, P-1, , , , α=81.145(2)°, β=87.591(2)°, γ=67.345(5)°, Z=2, R₁=0.0869, wR₂=0.220. 1 is a rare example of the alternative chain constructed by syn-syn and anti-syn coordination mode of carboxylato ligand arranged along the chain alternatively. La(III) ions in 2 are linked by two η³-O bridges and four bridges (two η²-O and two η³-O) alternatively. Both of the linear coordination polymers grow into two- and three-dimensional networks by packing through extending hydrogen-bond network directed by ligands.     

The chemiluminescence mechanism of 3,4-bis(3-indolyl)-1H-pyrrole-2,5-dione, and the characteristics of chemiluminescence developed in the reaction with CH(3)CNH(2)O(2)NaOH

The chemiluminescence (CL) mechanism of 3,4-bis(3-indolyl)-1H-pyrrole-2,5-dione (IPD) was investigated using liquid chromatography electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS) of the products formed after the IPD CL reaction. We found that IPD produced strong CL via the decomposition of dioxetane formed after oxidation of the maleimide and indole moieties in the presence of CH₃CN, H₂O₂ and NaOH. The IPD CL was used for evaluating the antioxidant effect on curcumin and epigallocatechin gallate.

Single Crystal of Lanthanum Hydroxide La(OH)3: Controlled Synthesis by High Pressure Flux Method and Its Growth Mechanism

High pressure synthesis of solid material tends to increase the density,coordination number,symmetry of material and shorten bond length.The solid synthesized at a high pressure and decompressed to ambient pressure often exhibits a metastable "stretched" state,within the high pressure stability field.The crystal grown at a high pressure is of great importance with the development of high pressure technology.Crystal growth is an important factor in the material synthesis.And many methods including gas,solid and solution methods have been used to obtain various single crystals[1].Especially,flux method is an important method for crystal growth,where the components of the desired substance dissolved in a solvent(flux) grow in the process of deposit.Its advantage is that the crystal growth displays natural facets and the disadvantage is that the crystals are relatively small.Up to date,some solid materials have been successfully synthesized by high pressure flux method[2-7].

The selected coordination chemistry of L₁ to L₄ with [UO₂(NO₃)₂ · 6H₂O], [La(NO₃)₃ · 6H₂O] and [Ce(NO₃)₃ · 6H₂O] has been evaluated. Structures for the compounds [UO₂(NO₃)₂ C₅H₇N₂CH₂CONBu₂] (6) [UO₂(NO₃)₂ C₅H₇N₂CH₂CONⁱBu₂] (7) and [Ce(NO₃)₃{C₃H₃N₂CH₂CONⁱBu₂}₂] (11) have been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction methods. Preliminary extraction studies of the ligand L₅ with U(VI) and Pu(IV) in tracer level showed an appreciable extraction for U(VI) and Pu(IV) up to 10 M HNO₃ but not for Am(III). Thermal studies of the compounds 6 and 7 in air revealed that the ligands can be destroyed completely on incineration.
