Series of Near-IR-Absorbing Transition Metal Complexes with Redox Active Ligands
New soluble and intensely near-IR-absorbing transition metal (Ti, Zr, V, Ni) complexes were synthesized using a redox non-innocent N,N&rsquo
A diamagnetic iron complex and its twisted sister – structural evidence on partial spin state change in a crystalline iron complex
We report here the syntheses of a diamagnetic Fe complex [Fe(HL)2] (1), prepared by reacting a redox non-innocent ligand precursor N,N′-bis(3,5-di-tert-butyl-2-hydroxy-phenyl)-1,2-phenylenediamine (H4L) with FeCl3, and its phenoxazine derivative [Fe(L′)2] (2), which was obtained via intra-ligand cyclisation of the parent complex. Magnetic measurements, accompanied by spectroscopic, structural and computational analyses show that 1 can be viewed as a rather unusual Fe(III) complex with a diamagnetic ground state in the studied temperature range due to a strong antiferromagnetic coupling between the low-spin Fe(III) ion and a radical ligand. For a paramagnetic high-spin Fe(II) complex 2 it wa…

Hackmanite—The Natural Glow-in-the-Dark Material
“Glow-in-the-dark” materials are known to practically everyone who has ever traveled by airplane or cruise ship, since they are commonly used for self-lit emergency exit signs. The green afterglow, persistent luminescence (PeL), is obtained from divalent europium doped to a synthetic strontium aluminate, but there are also some natural minerals capable of afterglow. One such mineral is hackmanite, the afterglow of which has never been thoroughly investigated, even if its synthetic versions can compete with some of the best commercially available synthetic PeL materials. Here we combine experimental and computational data to show that the white PeL of natural hackmanite is generated and cont…
Low Temperature Afterglow from SrAl <sub>2</sub>O <sub>4</sub>: EU, Dy, B Containing Glass
SrAl2O4: Eu, Dy, B particles were added in a phosphate glass (90NaPO3-10NaF (in mol%)) using the direct doping method. For the first time, the composition of the particles prior to and after embedding them in the glass was analysed using EPMA analysis. Boron was found to be incorporated in already distorted surroundings creating new trapping centers in the particles which are thought to be favourable for the tunnelling process and so for the afterglow at 10K. Despite the partial decomposition of the particles, the glass exhibit afterglow at low temperature confirming to be promising materials for low temperature applications.
X-ray powder diffraction study of the stability of solid solutions in LaO(Cl1−xBrx)
Abstract The formation of solid solutions in the LaO(Cl 1− x Br x ) series was studied by X-ray powder diffraction (XPD), Rietveld profile refinement and bond valence calculations. The LaO(Cl 1− x Br x ) (0 ≤ x ≤ 1, step 0.2, and x = 0.5) powder samples were prepared by the solid state reaction between La 2 O 3 and a mixture of ammonium chloride and bromide. The X-ray powder diffraction patterns were collected at room temperature between 5 and 125° in 2Θ using Cu K α 1 radiation (λ = 1.5406 A). The XPD data between 20 and 90° were analyzed with the DBWS-9006PC Rietveld profile refinement program. All the LaO(Cl 1− x Br x ) phases studied crystallize in the tetragonal PbFCl-type structure wi…
NIR-absorbing transition metal complexes with redox-active ligands
Bench top stable transition metal (M = Co, Ni, Cu) complexes with a non-innocent ortho-aminophenol derivative were synthesized by the reaction of metal(II)acetates with a ligand precursor in 2:1 ratio. The solid-state structures reveal the formation of neutral molecular complexes with square planar coordination geometries. The Co(II) and Cu(II) complexes are paramagnetic, whereas the Ni complex is a diamagnetic square planar low-spin Ni(II) complex. All complexes, and Ni(II) complex in particular, show strong absorption in the near-IR region. Peer reviewed
Stability of Rare-Earth Oxychloride Phases: Bond Valence Study
Abstract The crystal structures of the tetragonal rare earth ( RE ) oxychlorides, RE OCl ( RE =La–Nd, Sm–Ho, and Y) were studied by X-ray powder diffraction measurements, Rietveld analyses, and bond valence calculations. The tetragonal structure (space group P 4/ nmm , No. 129, Z =2) is stable for all but Er–Lu oxychlorides, which possess a hexagonal structure. The tetragonal structure consists of alternating layers of ( RE O) n n + complex cations and X n − anions, where the rare earth is coordinated to four oxygens and four plus one chlorines in a monocapped tetragonal antiprism arrangement. The Rietveld analyses yielded a coherent series of structural parameters. Preferred orientation an…
