X-ray investigation and discussion of the magnetostriction of Gd3T(T= Ni, Rh, Irx) single crystals
2000
The variations of the lattice parameters of Gd3T(T= Ni, Rh, Irx) single crystals with temperature were measured in the range 10–300 K. The compounds with Ni and Rh crystallize in the orthorhombic space groupPnma, but the compound with Ir crystallizes as Gd5Ir2in the monoclinic space groupA2/a. The three compounds exhibit an anomalous anisotropic spontaneous magnetostriction below the magnetic ordering temperature.
Structural effects of Co and Cr substitution in LaMnO3 + δ
2000
Series of perovskite oxides with the composition LaMn1 − xMxO3 + δ (M = Cr, Co; 0 ≤ x ≤ 1) have been synthesized by thermal treatment of precursors obtained by freeze-drying of acetic acid solutions. The oxides have been characterized by X-ray diffraction, and the Mn4+ content and, thus, the oxygen excess, δ, has been determined by redox back-titration. LaMnO3.14 and LaCrO3 phases have the rhombohedral-LaAlO3 and the orthorhombic-GdFeO3 structures, respectively. The LaMn1 − xCrxO3 + δ phases have the rhombohedral structure for x ≤ 0.3, and the orthorhombic structure for x ≥ 0.5. LaCoO3 has, as LaMnO3.14, the rhombohedral structure. However, the LaMn1 − xCoxO3 + δ phases have orthorhombic st…
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…
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…

High-pressure XRD and Raman spectroscopy on orthorhombic InVO4 (space group Cmcm, Z = 4) reveal the existence of a new wolframite-type polymorph of InVO4 near 7 GPa.
Charge distribution and optical properties of and F centres in crystals
1997
Results of quantum chemical calculations for the and F centres in cubic and orthorhombic phases of a perovskite ferroelectric are presented and analysed in the light of existing experimental literature. It is shown that one (two) electrons of the and F centres, respectively, are considerably delocalized, even in the ground state of defects, over the two Nb atoms nearest to the O vacancy, and other close atoms. They resemble more electron defects in partly covalent crystals (the so-called centre) than F-type centres in ionic MgO crystals. We predict two or three absorption bands (depending on the crystalline phase) for each of the defects. The calculated absorption energies for the centre ar…
Comprehensive Uranium Thiophosphate Chemistry: Framework Compounds Based on Pseudotetrahedrally Coordinated Central Metal Atoms
2013
The new ternary compounds UP2S6, UP2S7, U(P2S6)2, and U3(PS4)4 were prepared from uranium metal, phosphorus pentasulfide, and sulfur at 700 °C. The crystal structures were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods. UP2S6 (I) crystallizes in the ZrP2S6 structure type [tetragonal, P42/m, a = 6.8058(7) A, c = 9.7597(14) A, Z = 2], which consists of central uranium(IV) atoms coordinated by P2S64– anions (staggered conformation). The anions are two-dimensional connectors for four uranium cations arranged in one plane. The structure of UP2S7 (II) [orthorhombic, Fddd, a = 8.9966(15) A, b = 15.2869(2) A, c = 30.3195(5) A, Z = 16] is closely related to the monoclinic ZrP2S7 structure ty…

Synthesis and characterization of a Cu(II) complex of 2-benzylmercapto-5- methyl-1,3,4-thiadiazole (C10H10N2S 2)
2008
A Cu(II) complex of 2-benzylmercapto-5-methyl-1,3,4-thiadiazole was synthesized and characterized. The crystal structure of the copper complex and the free ligand were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction at room temperature: {[Cu(C10H10N2S2) 2(Cl)2], P1 triclinic, a = 8.1450(2) Å, b = 8.1690(2) Å, c = 10.8180(3) Å, α = 97.4040(12)°, β = 101.6270(11)°, γ = 116.1431(14)°; C10H10N2S2 ligand, Pbca orthorhombic, a = 8.7938(7) Å, b = 9.6491(7) Å, c = 25.3552(18) Å}. The metal complex framework consists of discrete units that provide crystalline stability through a network of van der Waals contacts. The Cu(II) is coordinated by two chloride ions and two 2-benzylmercapto-5-methyl-1,3,4- …
Effect of cobalt doping on the dielectric response of $B_{0.95}Pb_{0.05}TiO_3$ ceramics
2013
Dielectric response of Ba 0.95 Pb 0.05 TiO 3 ceramics doped with 0.1 and 1 wt.% of Co 2 O 3 , synthesized by conven- tional high-temperature method, wa s studied in wide temperature and frequency range. The temperature dependences of the real and the imaginary parts of dielectric permittivity of the ceramics were compared with those of BaTiO 3 and Ba 0.95 Pb 0.05 TiO 3. The addition of Co 3+ ions results in a broadening of dielectric anom- alies related to the transition to p araelectric cubic phase, and the structural transition between the tetragonal and the orthorhombic phases. At low temperatures (125 – 200 K) the dielectric absorp- tion of Co-doped Ba 0.95 Pb 0.05 TiO 3 ceramics was fo…
