Perovskites with the Framework‐Forming Xenon

The Group 18 elements (noble gases) were the last ones in the periodic system to have not been encountered in perovskite structures. We herein report the synthesis of a new group of double perovskites KM(XeNaO₆) (M=Ca, Sr, Ba) containing framework‐forming xenon. The structures of the new compounds, like other double perovskites, are built up of the alternating sequence of corner‐sharing (XeO₆) and (NaO₆) octahedra arranged in a three‐dimensional rocksalt order. The fact that xenon can be incorporated into the perovskite structure provides new insights into the problem of Xe depletion in the atmosphere. Since octahedrally coordinated Xe^VIII and Si^IV exhibit close values of ionic radii (0.48 and 0.40 Å, respectively), one could assume that Xe^VIII can be incorporated into hyperbaric frameworks such as MgSiO₃ perovskite. The ability of Xe to form stable inorganic frameworks can further extend the rich and still enigmatic chemistry of this noble gas.

Overlapping B3Π0u ← X1Σ g/+ and 1Π1u ← X1Σ g/+ non-radiative characteristic of Br2 vapour in the wavelength region 505–541 nm

The vibronic vapour phase photoacoustic spectrum of Br₂ in the wavelength region 505–541 nm (19796–18480 cm⁻¹) has been recorded using microphone as well as pump-probe method. Discrete vibronic bands superimposed on a monotonically increasing continuum background towards the dissociation limit results from the overlapping B ³Π _0u ^/+ ← X ¹Σ _g ^/+ and ¹Π_1u ← X ¹Σ _g ^/+ electronic transitions. Vibronic bands originating from υ″=0 have been used to estimate the relative rate of non-radiative relaxation as a function of the excited state B ³Π_0u vibrational quantum number υ′. A comparison with the optical absorption spectroscopy of Br₂ leads to the identification of three broad spectral regions between 505 and 541 nm (19796 and 18480 cm⁻¹) on the basis of different non-radiative relaxation processes.     

Efficient water-soluble catalytic system RhI-CAP for biphasic hydroformylation of olefins

Rhodium-catalysed hydroformylation of styrene and aliphatic olefins under biphasic conditions in the presence of watersoluble 1,4,7-triaza-9-phosphatricyclo[5.3.2.1^4,9]tridecane (CAP) chemoselectively affords aldehydes. Multiple catalyst reuse without loss in performance is demonstrated.     

Between Adamantane and Atrane: Intrabridgehead Interactions in the Cage‐Like Phosphane Related to a Novel Tris(homoadamantane) Ring System

Herein, we report unusual four‐center interactions in the novel cage‐like phosphane, 1,4,7‐triaza‐9‐phosphatricyclo[5.3.2.1^4,9]tridecane (CAP). This water‐soluble ligand, the first example of a tris(homoadamantane) ring system, can be considered a macrocyclic homologue of the well‐known PTA (1,3,5‐triaza‐7‐phosphaadamantane). However, ³¹P NMR spectroscopic anomalies of CAP follow those typical for the bi‐/tricyclic atrane systems. Another atrane‐like feature of CAP is the ability of one nitrogen atom to undergo out–in pyramidal inversion. The latter is associated with a substantial decrease in the intracage N?N and P?N distances. Analysis of electron density distribution [molecular electrostatic potential (MESP) and atoms‐in‐molecules (AIM) approaches] suggests that the P and N atoms in the pyramidally inverted CAP derivatives are involved in interactions resulting in accumulation of electron density at the center of the phosphane cage. The latter can reliably explain the stereoelectronic and NMR anomalies of the new ligand. The semi‐flexible CAP cage populates the structural niche between the rigid adamantine skeleton of PTA and flexible atrane systems and can be regarded as an alternative to PTA in aqueous coordination chemistry.

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of the First Thallium Hydrous Nesosilicate Tl4SiO4·0.5H2O

Orange prismatic crystals of the first thallium hydrous nesosilicate Tl₄SiO₄·0.5H₂O have been obtained by evaporation from aqueous solution. There are three symmetrically independent Tl⁺ cations and five symmetrically independent oxygen atoms in the structure of Tl₄SiO₄·0.5H₂O. The O(4) and O(5) atoms belong to water molecules. Coordination polyhedra of the Tl⁺ cations are strongly distorted because of the stereoactive behavior of lone electron pairs. The structure of Tl₄SiO₄·0.5H₂O contains sheets of SiO₄ tetrahedra and Tl coordination polyhedra. The sheets have the composition [Tl₃SiO₄]^– and are parallel to [100]. Within the sheets, SiO₄ tetrahedra link to thallium polyhedra though common corners. The sheets are linked by dimers of face‐sharing Tl(3)O₅ polyhedra, thus providing interconnection of the sheets into a framework. The framework has large elliptical channels occupied by water molecules (OW2) and electron pairs of Tl⁺ cations.The comparison with some other M⁺ (M = K, Ag, Tl) silicates is given.
