Modular Metal Chalcogenide Chemistry: Secondary Building Blocks as a Basis of the Silicate-Type Framework Structure of CsLiU(PS4)2
2011
The novel uranium thiophosphate CsLiU(PS4)2 has been synthesized by reacting uranium metal, Cs2S, Li2S, S, and P2S5 at 700 °C in an evacuated silica tube. The crystal structure was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction techniques. CsLiU(PS4)2 crystallizes in the rhombohedral space group Rc (a = 15.2797(7) A; c = 28.778(2) A, V = 5818.7(5) A3, Z = 18). The structure ofCsLiU(PS4)2 is a unique three-dimensional U(PS4)22– framework with large tunnels with an approximate diameter of 6.6 A running parallel to the crystallographic c axis. The tunnels are filled with Cs+ cations. The smaller Li+ cations are located at tetrahedral sites at the periphery of the channels. In the structure of …
Composés métallocèniques chalcogènés. Action des dihydrures de zirconocène et de hafnocène sur le soufre, le sélénium et le tellure
1989
Resume Dimeric zirconocene and hafnocene dihydrides [(η 5 -RC 5 H 4 ) 2 M(H)(μ-H)] 2 (M = Zr, Hf) react with grey selenium or tellurium to afford the known four-membered bimetallacyclic compounds [(η 5 -RC 5 H 4 ) 2 M(μ-E)] 2 (E = Se, Te) as the sole organometallic products. In the case of sulfur the first step of the reaction is shown to involve the insertion of a chalcogen atom into the metal-hydrogen bonds to give the bis-hydrogenosulfide (η 5 -t-BuC 5 H 4 ) 2 M(SH) 2 (M = Zr, Hf), which reacts either with the starting dihydride to give [(η 5 -t-BuC 5 H 4 ) 2 M(μ-S)] 2 or with the unchanged sulfur to afford the metallacyclohexasulfane (η 5 -t-BuC 5 H 4 ) 2 MS 5 and hydrogen sulfide. Thes…
Uncommon coordination behaviour of P(S) and P(Se) units when bonded to carboranyl clusters: experimental and computational studies on the oxidation o…
2010
Oxidation of closo-carboranyl diphosphines 1,2-(PR(2))(2)-1,2-closo-C(2)B(10)H(10) (R=Ph, iPr) and closo-carboranyl monophosphines 1-PR(2)-2-R'-1,2-closo-C(2)B(10)H(10) (R=Ph, iPr, Cy; R'=Me, Ph) with hydrogen peroxide, sulfur and elemental black selenium evidences the unique capacity of the closo-carborane cluster to produce uncommon or unprecedented P/P(E) (E=S, Se) and P=O/P=S chelating ligands. When H(2)O(2) reacts with 1,2-(PR(2))(2)-1,2-closo-C(2)B(10)H(10) (R=Ph, iPr), they are oxidized to 1,2-(OPR(2))(2)-1,2-closo-C(2)B(10)H(10) (R=Ph, iPr). However, when S and Se are used, different reactivity is found for 1,2-(PPh(2))(2)-1,2-closo-C(2)B(10)H(10) and 1,2-(PiPr(2))(2)-1,2-closo-C(2)…
Dispersion Forces and Counterintuitive Steric Effects in Main Group Molecules: Heavier Group 14 (Si-Pb) Dichalcogenolate Carbene Analogues with Sub-9…
2013
The synthesis and spectroscopic and structural characterization of an extensive series of acyclic, monomeric tetrylene dichalcogenolates of formula M(ChAr)2 (M = Si, Ge, Sn, Pb; Ch = O, S, or Se; Ar = bulky m-terphenyl ligand, including two new acyclic silylenes) are described. They were found to possess several unusual features-the most notable of which is their strong tendency to display acute interligand, Ch-M-Ch, bond angles that are often well below 90°. Furthermore, and contrary to normal steric expectations, the interligand angles were found to become narrower as the size of the ligand was increased. Experimental and structural data in conjunction with high-level DFT calculations, in…
ChemInform Abstract: Synthesis and Functionalization of Chalcogenide Nanotubes
2011
New synthetic approaches to MS 2 (M = Sn, Nb, Mo, W) chalcogenide nanostructures are highlighted. Most chalcogenide particles can be functionalized directly with inorganic nanoparticles such as Au, ZnO or MnO. Depending on the Pearson hardness of the metal involved, the functionalization may be reversible or irreversible. A covalent functionalization strategy is based on a steric shielding of the coordination sphere of transition metal atoms in such a way that only coordination sites are available for bonding to the chalcogenide surface. This allows the immobilization of fluorophors, redox active groups or proteins onto chalcogenide nanoparticle.

Chalcogenide-capped triiron clusters [Fe3(CO)9(μ3-E)2], [Fe3(CO)7(μ3-CO)(μ3-E)(μ-dppm)] and [Fe3(CO)7(μ3-E)2(μ-dppm)] (E = S, Se) as proton-reduction…
2019
Chalcogenide-capped triiron clusters [Fe3(CO)7(μ3-CO)(μ3-E)(μ-dppm)] and [Fe3(CO)7(μ3-E)2(μ-dppm)] (E = S, Se) have been examined as proton-reduction catalysts. Protonation studies show that [Fe3(CO)9(μ3-E)2] are unaffected by strong acids. Mono-capped [Fe3(CO)7(μ3-CO)(μ3-E)(μ-dppm)] react with HBF4.Et2O but changes in IR spectra are attributed to BF3 binding to the face-capping carbonyl, while bicapped [Fe3(CO)7(μ3-E)2(μ-dppm)] are protonated but in a process that is not catalytically important. DFT calculations are presented to support these protonation studies. Cyclic voltammetry shows that [Fe3(CO)9(μ3-Se)2] exhibits two reduction waves, and upon addition of strong acids, proton-reducti…
Exploring reactivity of a bis-sulfonium zirconocene-ate dimer: synthesis of various zwitterionic phosphonium anionic zirconocene complexes
2007
Abstract Formal [3+2] cycloaddition reactions between the bis-sulfonium zirconocene-ate dimer 1a and methylpropiolate, benzaldehyde and carbon disulfide afforded stable zwitterionic phosphonium zirconocene-ate complexes 2–4, respectively, with two orthocondensed five-membered heterocycles. X-ray crystal structure of 4 has been determined. Elemental chalcogens (S, Se, Te) gave rise also to a new variety of five-coordinate zirconium(IV) complexes (5–7) by a formal [3+1] cycloaddition reaction. In these bicyclic zirconates, sulfur is included in a five-membered ring while the second chalcogen is in a four-membered one.
Proximity Effects on the Charge Density Wave Order and Superconductivity in Single-Layer NbSe2
2021
Collective electronic states such as the charge density wave (CDW) order and superconductivity (SC) respond sensitively to external perturbations. Such sensitivity is dramatically enhanced in two dimensions (2D), where 2D materials hosting such electronic states are largely exposed to the environment. In this regard, the ineludible presence of supporting substrates triggers various proximity effects on 2D materials that may ultimately compromise the stability and properties of the electronic ground state. In this work, we investigate the impact of proximity effects on the CDW and superconducting states in single-layer (SL) NbSe2 on four substrates of diverse nature, namely, bilayer graphene…
Supercontinuum generation in chalcogenides : application to gas spectroscopy in atmospheric band III
2023
This thesis work aims to contribute to the development of new fiber sources emitting over a wide range of wavelengths in the IR, in particular to detect greenhouse gases in the mid-infrared range. Our spectroscopy results with nitrous oxide N2O and methane CH4 are obtained in band III. To achieve this, the generation of supercontinuum (SC) covering band III was made possible by using chalcogenide optical fibers, purified and free of highly toxic elements according to REACH regulations, in particular arsenic and antimony. The fibrable vitreous composition belonging to the Ge-Se-Te ternary system fits perfectly into the context of sustainable development, it is the one that has been identifie…
