As(III)/Sb(III)/Bi(III)–halide distances and stretching vibrations. An application of the Varshni relationship upon hypervalent group 15 compounds
1998
Abstract A Varshni treatment between stretching frequencies and bond lengths is given for 16 heterocycles of the types Hal–M(SCH 2 CH 2 ) 2 X and Hal–M(CH 2 CH 2 CH 2 ) 2 X (M=As/Sb/Bi, Hal=Cl/Br/I, X=O, S, NR). The intensities of the Raman emissions for the M–Hal bonds increase in the following order: Cl≪Br −1/2 , decrease in the following order: Cl>Br≫I. Practically, the Varshni constants are used to estimate the complementary quantity, stretching frequency or bond length, in 35 cases.
Sol–Gel Synthesis of Tunable Cerium Titanate Materials
2008
Cerium titanate structures present a high technological interest because of their optical and catalytic properties. This work reports the synthesis of these materials by a sol–gel methodology that allows mixed oxides with TiIV/CeIII, TiIV/CeIV or TiIV/CeIII–CeIV species to be obtained. Crystallization of CeO2–TiO2 mixed oxides and Ce2Ti2O7 pyrochlore phase was corroborated by XRD and Raman spectroscopy. Magnetic and EPR measurements were performed in order to clarify the oxidation state of the cerium ions in the system as a result of the easy oxidation of CeIII. The firing atmosphere is crucial for the CeIII/CeIV ratio, which is responsible for the different structure, but it also affects t…
Investigations of TiO2 films deposited by different techniques
1991
High refractive TiO2 films deposited by reactive electron beam evaporation, reactive ion plating and dip coating have been characterized by optical spectroscopy, electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis, Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy, nuclear reaction analysis and Raman spectroscopy. The spectral refractive index n exhibits a strong dependence on the deposition conditions. These findings will be connected to variations in density, stoichiometry, hydrogen content (H2O) and binding structure of the layers. A strong correlation is found between optical quantities and microscopic properties of TiO2 films.
Hypervalent tin-organic compounds: Vibrational spectroscopy in the solid as a tool for structure determination
1997
Abstract A full set of IR- and Raman spectra down from 600 cm1 has been determined and assigned for 60 penta- or hexacoordinated tin-compounds in the groups RSn(CH2CH2CH2)3N (R = Cl, Br, I, Me), RR'Sn(MCH2CH2)2X (R,R′ = Cl, Br, I, Me, Ph, M = CH2 S; X = NMe, O, S), RPh2SnCH2CH2CH2NMe2 (R = Cl, Br, I) and RMe2Sn—CHD—COOMe (R = F, Cl, Br, I, Me). In these hypervalent compounds an approach of the donor atom X to the central atom tin outlines a ‘path’ of nucleophilic attack from a tetrahedron to a trigonal bipyramid. Along this ‘reaction path’ the bond lengths of the axial ligand increase continuously while the bond lengths of the equatorial ligands slightly decrease. The number of similar hype…
The phase situation and ferroelectric properties in the mixed crystals [4-NH2PyH][SbCl4(1−x)Br4x]
2008
Abstract The group of mixed crystals of general formula: [4-APyH][SbCl4(1−x) Br4x] with x ranging from 0 to 1 was studied by means of differential scanning calorimetry, dilatometry and dielectric spectroscopy. The ferroelectric properties are preserved for mixed crystals with replacement fraction, x, less than 0.30. Moreover, such a substitution of the chlorine atoms by the bromine ones significantly lowers the temperature of the structural phase transition shifting it from 240 K for pure [4-APyH][SbCl4] to about 185 K for the mixed crystals richer in bromine. The dielectric relaxation process exhibited by the mixed crystal with x = 0.90 in the radio-frequency region was analyzed and the ac…

Über gemischte Gruppe 14—Gruppe 14-Bindungen
1991
Abstract p-Tol6PbSn has been synthesized by reaction of p-Tol3PbLi with p-Tol3SnI in THF/ether (1:2) at −78°C. The crystal structures of p-Tol4Pb (I 4 ) and of p-Tol6Sn2, p-Tol6PbSn and p-Tol6Pb2 have been determined. The three dinuclear compounds crystallize not strickly isomorphous. They exhibit the same space group (R 3 and rather similar unit cell dimensions. Yet according to the solvent of crystallization, two types with differing atomic position parameters can be distinguished (“homoeotypism with differences of parameters” in the definition of Laves). In both types, the individual molecules have a chiral C3-symmetric conformation and the non-chiral unit cell encloses both enantiomers.…
Electronic, vibrational, and structural properties of a spin-crossover catecholato-iron system in the solid state: theoretical study of the electroni…
2005
As a functional model of the catechol dioxygenases, [(TPA)Fe(Cat)]BPh4 (TPA = tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine and Cat = catecholate dianion) exhibits the purple-blue coloration indicative of some charge transfer within the ground state. In contrast to a number of high-spin bioinspired systems, it was previously shown that, in the solid state, [(TPA)Fe(Cat)]BPh4 undergoes a two-step S = 1/2 = S = 5/2 spin-crossover. Therefore, the electronic and vibrational characteristics of this compound were investigated in the solid state by UV/Vis absorption and resonance Raman spectroscopies over the temperature range of the transition. This allowed the charge-transfer transitions of the low-spin (LS) form …
Impact of the synergistic collaboration of oligothiophene bridges and ruthenium complexes on the optical properties of dumbbell-shaped compounds.
2012
The linear and non-linear optical properties of a family of dumbbell-shaped dinuclear complexes, in which an oligothiophene chain with various numbers of rings (1, 3, and 6) acts as a bridge between two homoleptic tris(2,2'-bipyridine)ruthenium(II) complexes, have been fully investigated by using a range of spectroscopic techniques (absorption and luminescence, transient absorption, Raman, and non-linear absorption), together with density functional theory calculations. Our results shed light on the impact of the synergistic collaboration between the electronic structures of the two chemical moieties on the optical properties of these materials. Experiments on the linear optical properties …
High precision numerical estimates of acoustic phonon frequencies of nonspherical nanoparticles
2006
We introduce an adapted method for calculating the acoustic vibrational frequencies of arbitrarily shaped nanoparticles to high precision. Molecular dynamics simulation results are tested against exact solutions for a free sphere, a hollow sphere and a spheroid. This permits theoretical predictions of the frequencies of peaks in low frequency Raman spectra. Our results demonstrate that vibrational frequencies can be calculated for a wide range of low frequency modes with accuracies on the order of a tenth of a percent.
