High-resolution characterization of the diffusion of light chemical elements in metallic components by scanning microwave microscopy
2014
International audience; An original sub-surface, high spatial resolution tomographic technique based on scanning microwave microscopy (SMM) is used to visualize in-depth materials with different chemical compositions. A significant phase difference in SMM between aluminum and chromium buried patterns has been observed. Moreover this technique was used to characterize a solid solution of a light chemical element (oxygen) in a metal lattice (zirconium). The large solubility of the oxygen in zirconium leads to modifications of the properties of the solid solution that can be measured by the phase shift signal in the SMM technique. The signal obtained in cross-section of an oxidized Zr sample s…
Zirconium & Hafnium: Organometallic ChemistryBased in part on the article Zirconium & Hafnium: Organometallic Chemistry by Bernard Gautheron,…
2006
This review considers the main aspects of organometallic chemistry of zirconium and hafnium during the last 10 years. It is complementary to the first edition of Encyclopedia of Inorganic Chemistry. The material is presented in two major parts divided in five and three sections respectively. The first part is devoted to syntheses: the first section, by far the largest, covers in a systematic manner bis and mono cyclopentadienyl complexes with +4, +3, and +2 oxidation states and more especially constrained-geometry (CG) complexes, cationic complexes, and anionic or zwitterionic 18-electron complexes; unusual coordination geometries at carbon stabilized by group 4 metallocenes are presented i…
Titanium and zirconium complexes containing the new 2,3-dimethyl-1,4-diphenylcyclopentadienyl ligand. Synthesis, characterization and polymerization …
2004
Abstract An easy and inexpensive three-step synthesis of new 2,3-dimethyl-1,4-diphenylcyclopentadiene (3) ligand and the titanium and zirconium homometallocene dichlorides [TiCl2(η5-C5H-2,3-Me2-1,4-Ph2)2] (4), [ZrCl2(η5-C5H-2,3-Me2-1,4-Ph2)2] (5), and the mixed ligand zirconium complex [ZrCl2(η5-C5H-2,3-Me2-1,4-Ph2)(η5-C5H5)] (6) prepared thereof are described. The polymerization of ethene using 4–6/MAO catalysts revealed that zirconocene complexes 5 and 6 displayed moderate and high activity, respectively, whereas the titanium catalyst 4/MAO was inactive. The crystal structures of 4 and 5 were determined by X-ray crystallography.
Spatiotemporal dynamics in the oxidation of groups IV?V metals: study of zirconium
1997
Abstract This paper focus on the mechanism of zirconium oxidation at 850 °C by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and the interactions between chemical (oxide growth, phase proportion) and physical processes (oxide scale texture, mechanical stresses). The structural gradients in the oxide scale composed of monoclinic ZrO 2 (higher proportion) and tetragonal ZrO 2 were revealed by XRD at variable incidence. The spatial evolution of the monoclinic zirconia texture through the oxide scale was shown and quantified. Relaxation of the oxide compressive stresses was observed for different oxidation times and correlated to kinetic breakaway evidenced by other methods. A structural mechanism of the oxide forma…
Micromechanical approach of the high temperature oxidation of zirconium: study of the Zr/ZrO2 interfacial epitaxy with Bollmann's method
1997
The method of Bollmann has been used to determine the role of epitaxy in the formation of the mechanical stress field near the metal/oxide interface during the high temperature oxidation of zirconium. The strains due to epitaxy combine with those due to both oxygen diffusion in metal and thermal expansion of the metal/oxide composite in a model based on a micromechanical formalism. The calculated values are compared to experimental results and the applicability of Bollmann's method to this problem is discussed.
Study on the initial stages of water corrosion of fluorozirconate glasses
2004
Abstract The surface corrosion process associated with the hydrolysis of fluorozirconate glass, ZBLAN (53ZrF 4 , 20BaF 2 , 20NaF, 4LaF 2 , 3AlF 3 ) was investigated using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), grazing-incidence small angle X-ray scattering (GISAXS), X-ray reflectivity (XRR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). After a short exposure period (25 min) of the glass surface to deionized water the XPS data indicate an increase of the oxygen content accompanied by a decrease of fluorine concentration. The analysis of the chemical bonding structure identified the predominant surface reaction products as zirconium hydroxyfluoride and oxyfluoride species. The second most abundant…

Complexes of titanium and zirconium containing a tridentate linked amido–cyclopentadienyl ligand with a soft donor group: synthesis, structure, and e…
1999
Abstract Group 4 metal complexes M(η5:η1-C5R4SiMe2NCH2CH2SMe)Cl2 (R=H, M=Ti; R=Me, M=Ti, Zr) containing the thioether-functionalized linked amido–cyclopentadienyl ligand were synthesized and characterized by 1H- and 13C-NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and elemental analysis. The crystal structures of the complexes Ti(η5:η1-C5H4SiMe2NCH2CH2SMe)Cl2 and Zr(η5:η1:η1-C5Me4SiMe2NCH2CH2SMe)Cl2 were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. The titanium complex is a conventional three-legged piano-stool molecule without an intramolecular interaction between the sulfur donor group and the titanium center, whereas the zirconium complex adopts a trigonal bipyramidal structure, with …
A doubly bridged isodicyclopentadienyl zirconium complex: bis{N-(3,5-dimethylphenyl)-N-[(η5-isodicyclopentadien-2-yl)dimethylsilyl]amido-κN}zirconium…

Transmetallation of the dilithium salt of (3,5-dimethyphenylamino)(isodicyclopentadienyl)dimethylsilane by treatment with zirconium tetrachloride in a 2:1 ratio leads to the substitution of all four chloride ligands. With the applied stoichiometry, the title complex, [Zr(C(20)H(25)NSi)(2)].C(4)H(10)O, was obtained and crystallized from diethyl ether. X-ray diffraction characterization showed that both isodicyclopentadienyl ligands (alternatively called 4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-4,7-methano-1H-indene) are complexed to the metal on their exo face in a completely stereoselective manner and that they are eta(5)-bonded to the Zr atom.
Ethylene polymerization with FI complexes having novel phenoxy-imine ligands: Effect of metal type and complex immobilization
2011
A series of bis(phenoxy-imine) vanadium and zirconium complexes with different types of R3 substituents at the nitrogen atom, where R3 = phenyl, naphthyl, or anthryl, was synthesized and investigated in ethylene polymerization. Moreover, the catalytic performance was verified for three supported catalysts, which had been obtained by immobilization of bis[N-(salicylidene)-1-naphthylaminato]M(IV) dichloride complexes (M = V, Zr, or Ti) on the magnesium carrier MgCl2(THF)2/Et2AlCl. Catalytic performance of both supported and homogeneous catalysts was verified in conjunction with methylaluminoxane (MAO) or with alkylaluminium compounds (EtnAlCl3−n, n = 1–3). The activity of FI vanadium and zirc…
