Phase transition in bis(ethyldimethylammonium) pentachloroantimonate(III)
1999
The crystal structure of a new member of the alkylammonium chloroantimonate family, namely bis-(ethyldimethylammonium) pentachloroantimonate(III), [C 2 H 5 NH(CH 3 ) 2 ] 2 [SbCl 5 ], was determined at room temperature. The anionic sublattice consists of isolated distorted square-pyramidal [SbCl 5 ] 2- units and two crystallographically inequivalent disordered ethyldimethylammonium cations connected to anions by NH...Cl hydrogen bonds. The disorder is realised by the presence of two positions for all C, N and H atoms, and is explained as being a result of the overall reorientation of cations along the long axis of the molecule. One second-order phase transition was found at ca 160 K and resu…
Structure of the new mineral sarrabusite, Pb5CuCl4(SeO3)4, solved by manual electron-diffraction tomography.
2012
The new mineral sarrabusite Pb5CuCl4(SeO3)4 has been discovered in the Sardinian mine of Baccu Locci, near Villaputzu. It occurs as small lemon–yellow spherical aggregates of tabular crystals (< 10 µm) of less than 100 µm in diameter. The crystal structure has been solved from and refined against electron diffraction of a microcrystal. Data sets have been measured by both a manual and an automated version of the new electron-diffraction tomography technique combined with the precession of the electron beam. The sarrabusite structure is monoclinic and consists of (010) layers of straight chains formed by alternating edge-sharing CuO4Cl2 and PbO8 polyhedra parallel to the c axis, which sha…
Spectroscopic Investigation of the System TeCl4/[NEt4]PF6 in Solution and the Crystal Structure of [NEt4]2[Te2Cl10].
2005
Solutions containing TeCl 4 and [NEt 4 ][PF 6 ] in CH 2 Cl 2 were investigated by means of UV/vis and NMR spectroscopy in order to study the complex chemistry of TeCl 4 with the [PF 6 ] - anion. The results show formation of [TeCl 5 ] - and strong interactions of [PF 6 ] - with a tellurium containing species, presumably [TeCl 3 ] + . The life time of the Te I V -PF 6 complex is long enough to give different signals in the 1 9 F NMR spectrum of a solution containing excess [PF 6 ] - . Even a fivefold excess of Cl - ions over [PF 6 ] - does hardly lead to a dissociation of [TeCl 3 ...PF 6 ]. Crystals of [NEt 4 ] 2 [Te 2 Cl 1 0 ] were obtained from a 4:1 solution of [NEt 4 ]PF 6 and TeCl 4 in …
Structure analysis on the nanoscale: closed WS2 nanoboxes through a cascade of topo- and epitactic processes
2014
Closed WS2 nanoboxes were formed by topotactic sulfidization of a WO3/WO3·⅓H2O intergrowth precursor. Automated diffraction tomography was used to elucidate the growth mechanism of these unconventional hollow structures. By partial conversion and structural analysis of the products, each of them representing a snapshot of the reaction at a given point in time, the overall reaction can be broken down into a cascade of individual steps and each of them identified with a basic mechanism. During the initial step of sulfidization WO3·⅓H2O transforms into hexagonal WO3 whose surface allows for the epitaxial induction of WS2. The initially formed platelets of WS2 exhibit a preferred orientation wi…
Crystal structure and magnetism of the double perovskites A2FeReO6 (A=Ca, Sr, Ba)
2004
Abstract We synthesized a series of double perovskites A 2 FeReO 6 (A=Ca, Sr, Ba) with Curie temperatures above room-temperature. Neutron and X-ray diffraction analysis have been performed in order to determine the structural and (local) magnetic properties of these materials. While Ba 2 FeReO 6 stays cubic over the whole temperature range we examined, the Sr-compound shows a tetragonal distortion of the perovskite structure which does not completely vanish up to about 520 K far above T C . Ca 2 FeReO 6 has a monoclinic unit cell at high temperatures. Below 400 K a phase separation in two monoclinic phases with identical cell volume is observed in neutron scattering.
The role of Nb in intensity increase of Er ion upconversion luminescence in zirconia
2014
It is found that Nb co-doping increases the luminescence and upconversion luminescence intensity in rare earth doped zirconia. Er and Yb-doped nanocrystalline samples with or without Nb co-doping were prepared by sol-gel method and thermally annealed to check for the impact of phase transition on luminescence properties. Phase composition and grain sizes were examined by X-ray diffraction; the morphology was checked by scanning- and high-resolution transmission electron microscopes. Both steady-state and time-resolved luminescence were studied. Comparison of samples with different oxygen vacancy concentrations and different Nb concentrations confirmed the known assumption that oxygen vacanc…
ChemInform Abstract: Crystal Structure and Magnetic Properties of α-Mn(H2PO2)2× H2O.
2010
Abstract The crystal structure of α-Mn(H2PO2)2·H2O has been refined from X-ray powder diffraction data. The cell is monoclinic (space group P21/c, Z − 4) with α = 7.8601(3) A , b = 7.4411(3) A , c = 10.7717(4) A and β = 102.859(2)°. The structure was refined with the Rietveld refinement principles, using as starting model the parameters of the presumably isostructural compound Zn(H2PO2)2·H2O. The structure can be described as being formed by dimeric entities Mn2O2 of edge-sharing manganese octahedra. Each group is linked through Mn-O-P-O-Mn bridges to four other groups, resulting in a three-dimensional network. The thermal variation in the susceptibility shows a sharp peak at T = 6.5 K and …
ChemInform Abstract: Synthesis and Characterization of Diorganotin(IV) Derivatives of 2- Mercaptopyridine and Crystal Structure of Diphenyl Pyridine-…
2010
Diorganotin(IV) derivatives of 2-mercaptopyridine (HSPy), R2Sn(SPy)2, R2SnCl(SPy) (R = Me, iPr, nBu, tBu, Cy, Ph) and Cy2SnBr(SPy), were obtained from R2SnX2 (X = Cl, Br) and NaSPy. Ph2SnCl(SPy) crystals, as determined by singlecrystal X–ray diffraction, are monoclinic in the space group P21/n. Tin forms with the bidentate SPy ligand a four–membered chelate ring with a short NSnS bite angle of 64.8(1)° leading to a heavily distorted trigonal–bipyramidal environment about tin. Apical Cl–Sn–N angle = 156.1(1)° equatorial C–Sn–C angle = 121.9(2)°. From 119Sn Mossbauer and IR data, analogous structures are inferred for the other solid compounds R2SnX(SPy), and distorted octahedral molecular str…
Guest-Host Systems of 1,3,5-Tristyrylbenzenes
2003
(E,E,E)-1,3,5-Tris(3,4,5-trimethoxystyryl)benzene (1a) forms monoclinic crystals of the space group P21/c. Incorporation of three transoid diacetyl guest molecules between the three arms leads to triclinic crystals of the space group P1. The styryl groups, originally present in a nonsymmetrical conformation, are simultaneously transformed to a C3 arrangement. (E,E,E)-1,3,5-Tris- (3,4,5-tripropoxystyryl)benzene (1b) forms monoclinic crystals of the space group P21/c. The C3 arrangement of the styryl groups is present in the first, the unsymmetrical arrangement in the second modification. Incorporation of two acetone guests in the largest and the middle-sized angle space between the styryl ar…
Humidity-Driven Reversible Transformation and Guest Inclusion in a Two-Dimensional Coordination Framework Tailored by Organic Polyamine Cation
2011
Using a polyamine cation tetrenH55+ (tetren = tetraethylenepentaamine), we tailored the dynamic layered material (tetrenH5)1.6{CoII(H2O)2[MIV(CN)8]}4·xH2O (1, M = W, x = 12; 2, M = Mo, x = 11.2). 1 and 2 consist of strongly corrugated two-dimensional (2D) cyano-bridged monolayers {CoII(H2O)2[MIV(CN)8]}n2n– of square grid topology stacked in an alternate manner with cationic layers of tetrenH55+ and H2O molecules. The observed single-crystal-to-single-crystal (SCSC) transformation is due to the reversible dehydration of 1 and 2 to the respective monocrystalline materials (tetrenH5)1.6{CoII[MIV(CN)8]}4 (1deh and 2deh). Structural modifications consist of the change of coordination number (C.N…
