Wang, Xiqu; Liu, Lumei; Conato, Marlon; Jacobson, Allan J.

 

Three compds. with anionic metal-org. frameworks [M3(hfbba)4]2-, M = Mn2+ or Co2+, H2hfbba = 4,4'-(hexafluoroisopropylidene)bis(benzoic acid), were synthesized by solvothermal techniques in the presence of different amines. Their structures were detd. from single crystal x-ray data. All three structures are based on linear trimers of metal oxide polyhedra. (C6H11NH3)2Mn3(hfbba)4, 1, has a 3D structure with large cages that are filled by pairs of cyclohexylammonium cations. ((C4H11)2NH2)2Co3(hfbba)4, 2, has a complex layered structure with intralayer lateral channels. One half of the dibutylammonium cations are located inside the channels and are orientationally disordered, while the other half of the dibutylammonium cations are located in the interlayer spaces and are ordered. (H2tdpip)Co3(hfbba)4,3, tdpip = 4,4'-trimethylenedipiperidine, also has a layered structure with the H2tdpip cations located between the layers. The magnetic properties of all compds. were detd. from 10 to 300 K.

Covalently interconnected and separated vanadosilicate shells

Wang, Xiqu; Liu, Lumei; Jacobson, Allan J.

 

Four new compds. contg. vanadosilicate clusters have been synthesized by hydrothermal reactions. The clusters are derived from the [V18O42] Keggin cluster by substitution of V=O caps by Si2O(O,OH)2 species. In Cs9[(V15Si6O46(OH)2Cl)(V2O4)](H2O)6.2, 1, the [V15Si6O46(OH)2] cluster shells are covalently interconnected by VO4 tetrahedra to form an infinite layer. In ((CH3)4N)4[V15Si6O42(OH)6(H2O)](H2O)20, 2, and ((CH3)4N)4(V(H2O)6)2/3 [V15Si6O42(OH)6H2O)](H2O), 3, sepd. [V15Si6O42(OH)6] cluster shells are interlinked by hydrogen bonds to form frameworks with wide channel systems. The sepd. cluster shell in ((CH3)4N)4((CH3)2NH2)((CH3)2NH) [V14Si8O42(OH)8(HCO2)](H2O)4.7, 4, has four Si2O(OH)2 species in a tetrahedral configuration. The 2D structure of 1 and 0D structures of 2-4 complement the known 1D and 3D structures formed from such vanadosilicate shells.

Breathing and Twisting: An Investigation of Framework Deformation and Guest Packing in Single Crystals of a Microporous Vanadium Benzenedicarboxylate

Wang, Xiqu; Eckert, Juergen; Liu, Lumei; Jacobson, Allan J.

 

 

The structural details of the compds. V benzenedicarboxylate VO(bdc)·Guest, where the Guests are the absorbed six-ring mols.: benzene, 1,4-cyclohexadiene, 1,3-cyclohexadiene, cyclohexene and cyclohexane, were detd. from single crystal x-ray data. Crystallog. data are given. All of the six-ring guest mols. show a high degree of ordering inside the channels of VO(bdc). The interactions between the guests and the host framework are dominated by van der Waals bonding. The six-ring mols. are all packed in two columns in the channels, either in herringbone or close to parallel patterns. The packing changes the space group symmetry of VO(bdc) from Pnma to the noncentrosym. space group P212121. The VO(bdc) framework deforms to closely adapt to the shape and thickness changes of the double columns of the guest mols. In addn. to the well studied breathing deformation, a twisting deformation mechanism that involves a cooperative rotation of the octahedral chains accompanied by bending of the bdc ligand is apparent in the detailed structural data. More quant. information on the remarkable flexibility of the VO(bdc) framework was obtained from ab initio calcns.

Influence of Ligand Geometry on the Dimensionality of Sn(II) Benzenedicarboxylate Crystal Structures

Wang, Xiqu; Liu, Lumei; Makarenko, Tatyana; Jacobson, Allan J.

 

Four new divalent tin benzenedicarboxylates (bdc) were synthesized by hydrothermal techniques, and their structures were detd. from single crystal x-ray data. A chiral complex layer is formed by Sn(II) and 1,2-bdc. In [Sn(1,2-bdc)] (2), such layers are stacked in a AA pattern, leading to a chiral and polar structure with the space group symmetry C2, while in [Sn(1,2-bdc)] (1) the same layer is alternately stacked with the mirror-image layer, leading to a structure with the space group C2/c. The 1-sided coordination of Sn(II) combined with the 120° angle of the carboxylate groups in 1,3-bdc results in the tubular structure of [Sn(1,3-bdc)] (3). The tubes are connected by very weak intertube Sn-O bonds. The compd. [Sn3O(1,4-bdc)2] (4) has a 3-dimensional framework structure based on Sn3O triangular secondary building units that are cross-linked by the 1,4-bdc ligands. Strong π-π interactions occur between the neighboring Ph rings.

Gil-Mateo, Paola; Jacobson, Allan J.Wang, Xiqu

 

Three stilbenedicarboxylic acids La4(SDC)6(H2O)8 (1), (LaX)4(SDC)6(H2O)8 (X=Ce (2), Eu (3), 5%), (SDC = 4,4'-stilbenedicarboxylic acid) were synthesized by hydrothermal reactions and their structures detd. from single crystal X-ray diffraction. Compds. 1, 2 and 3 crystallize in space group P21/n, with lattice parameters a = 19.816(9) Å, b = 5.456(3) Å, c = 19.901(2) Å, β = 108.59 (1. LaO8 polyhedra are cross-linked by 2 SDC ligands forming infinite layers perpendicular to the layer stacking direction. Lanthanum oxide hydrate infinite layers are linked by 2 SDC ligands. The fluorescence properties and emission decays of solid samples were analyzed. Compds. 2 and 3 exhibit a red shift at the excitation wavelength with respect the H2SDC ligand. Emission decays were fit best by a single exponential function for all the compds. Emission lifetime of compd. 1, 2 and H2SDC were estd. to be 3.68 ns, 1.95 ns and 2.75 ns.

Acentric and Centric Interpenetrations of an Anionic Framework Mediated by Cation Sizes: The Alkali-Metal Tin(II) Benzenedicarboxylates A2Sn2(bdc)3(H2O)x (A = Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs)

Wang, Xiqu; Liu, Lumei; Makarenko, Tatyana; Jacobson, Allan J.

 

Alkali-metal tin 1,4-benzenedicarboxylates, A2Sn2(bdc)3(H2O)x, A = Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, in single crystal forms were synthesized by using a hydrothermal technique and characterized by x-ray crystallog. The compds. all have cubic crystal structures based on a very open anionic [Sn2(bdc)3]2- framework which is 8-fold interpenetrated noncentrosym. (space group I23) in Li2Sn2(bdc)3(H2O)2 (1), K2Sn2(bdc)3 (3), Rb2Sn2(bdc)3 (4) and Cs2Sn2(bdc)3 (5), but centrosym. (space group Pn.hivin.3) in Na2Sn2(bdc)3(H2O) (2). The ion size and coordination requirements of the alkali ions play an important role in the interpenetration of the anionic framework and the symmetry of the structures.

AlF·1,4-benzenedicarboxylate: synthesis and absorption properties

Liu, Lumei; Wang, Xiqu; Jacobson, Allan J.

 

AlF(bdc), bdc = 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate, a new member of the family of MX(bdc) compds. was synthesized under solvothermal conditions. It is formed without H2bdc in the channels and substantial absorption capacity is obsd. in its as-synthesized form. AlF(bdc) does not absorb water at ambient temps. and shows absorption properties similar to VO(bdc).

Open layers based on metal-oxide chains linked by cyclohexanedicarboxylate ligands

Kim, Inn-Hoe; Wang, Xi-Qu; Jacobson, Allan J.

 

Three layered metal-oxide org. compds., In(OH)(1,4-chdc) (1), Cr(OH)(1,4-chdc) (2), and In(OH)(1,2-chdc) (3), (H2chdc = cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid) were synthesized and characterized by thermogravimetric anal., IR spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction. All three structures are formed by stacking electro-neutral layers in a simple AA sequence. The layers are built by crosslinking -OH-M-OH-M- chains with the chdc anions. Unlike the flat 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate ligand which was previously shown to connect similar metal-oxide chains into porous 3D frameworks, the bent chdc ligands link the chains to form open layers with narrow intra-layer channels. From a mixt. of cis- and trans- conformations of 1,4-chdc, only the e,a-cis conformation is incorporated in 1 and 2.

Gil-Mateo, Paola; Wang, Xiqu; Jacobson, Allan J.

 

Three novel lanthanum benzenedicarboxylates La2(BDC)3(H2O)4 (1), La4(BDC)3(OH)6 (2) and La3(BDC)2(OH)5 (3) (BDC = 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate) were synthesized by hydrothermal reactions and their structures detd. from single crystal x-ray diffraction. All three compds. are 3-dimensional framework structures consisting of layers of LaOn polyhedra cross-linked by BDC ligands along the layer stacking direction. In 1 the layers contain sepd. [LaO6(H2O)2] polyhedra that are bridged by the carboxylate groups of the BDC anions. Compds. 2 and 3 both have highly condensed lanthanum oxide-hydroxide polyhedra. In 2 the layers are wavy and consist of [LaO5(OH)4] and [LaO4(OH)5] polyhedra that share common corners, edges, and faces. In 3, the layers are similar but comprise [LaO3(OH)5] and [LaO4(OH)5] polyhedra.

Abstract

 

Tantalum hydrogen phosphate, b-TaH(PO4)2, has a three-dimensional structure that is stable to remarkably high temp. (.apprx.600 °C) presumably due to the presence of strong hydrogen bonds.  Impedance measurements indicate a low cond., 2.0 ´ 10-6 S/cm at 200 °C in 5% H2.  In further studies aimed at enhancing the cond. by aliovalent doping, we have investigated systematically the synthesis of compds. in the TaH(PO4)2-W2P2O11 system at 380 °C.  As a result, a new phase, Ta2(WO2)0.87H0.26(PO4)4, was identified and subsequently the molybdenum analog Ta2(MoO2)(PO4)4 was also prepd.  The structures were detd. by single crystal X-ray diffraction techniques.  The structures of Ta2(WO2)0.87H0.26(PO4)4 and Ta2(MoO2)(PO4)4 can be formally derived from the structure of b-TaH(PO4)2 by the replacement of two P-OH protons with an MO2 2+ (M = Mo and W) group together with a change in the orientation of some phosphate tetrahedra.

On the optimization of bond-valence parameters: artifacts conceal chemical effects.      Wang, Xiqu; Liebau, Friedrich.    Department of Chemistry,  University of Houston,  Houston,  TX,  USA.    Acta Crystallographica, Section B: Structural Science  (2009),  B65(1),  96-98.  Publisher: Wiley-Blackwell,  CODEN: ASBSDK  ISSN: 0108-7681.  Journal  written in English.    AN 2009:68837    CAPLUS   (Copyright (C) 2009 ACS on SciFinder (R))   

 

Abstract

 

We recently proposed that calcd. bond-valence sums, BVS, represent a non-integer structural valence, 'structV', rather than the integer-value stoichiometric valence, stoichV.  Therefore, the usual attempts to 'optimize' bond-valence parameters r0 and b by adjusting them to stoichV are based on the false assumption that numerical values of structV and stoichV are always equal.  Bond-valence calcns. for several compds. with stereoactive cations SnII, SbIII and BiIII reveal the balanced distribution of the bonding power structV between atoms of each structure.

 Abstract

 

Recent studies use the term valence to describe two distinct aspects of the phenomenon bonding power of an atom.  Measured in valence units, one valence term, the classical chemical valence, has integer values and is derived solely from the composition of a compound.  The second one, used mainly by solid-state physicists and crystallographers, has non-integer values.  It is determined from structure data, which are derived from diffraction experiments, spectroscopy, or quantum-chemical calculations.  To distinguish clearly between these two types of valencies, the descriptive terms stoichiometric valence and structural valence and the respective symbols (stoich)V and (struct)V should be used.  For the majority of crystalline structures, values of (stoich)V and (struct)V, both measured in valence units, differ by less than 5%.  However, for p-block atoms with one lone electron pair, differences between (stoich)V and (struct)V of up to 30% have been reported.

Abstract

 

Since the days of Pauling it has been tacitly assumed that the valence, which is distributed between the bonds to neighboring atoms, is the stoichiometric valence, stoichV, which has integer values.  It is shown here that this is not true.  Instead, bond-valence sums (BVS) calcd. for lanthanide (Ln) atoms of a series of garnet-type compds. LnIII3TeVI2LiI3O12 deviate significantly from stoichV.  Values of (BVS)Ln of this series, plotted vs. the element no. ZLn, show the same irregular sequence as: (i) the third ionization potentials of Ln atoms, (ii) the valence values previously calcd. with quantum-chem. methods for lanthanide metals and sulfides, and (iii) the exptl. efficiencies of the reactions between LnI and SF6 in the gas phase.  This indicates that in the Ln3Te2Li3O12 series the BVS values of the Ln atoms, which are 'rattling' in rather large and rigid voids of the structure, reflect the electronic structure of Ln.  It is, therefore, concluded that BVS represent a non-integer valence, which is based on the electronic structure of bonded atoms, rather than stoichV.  For this non-integer valence the term 'structural valence' and the symbol structV have been proposed.  In another series of lanthanide chelates the (BVS)Ln values deviate even more from stoichVLn = 3 v.u. than in the garnet-type series.  In the chelates the Ln atoms are 'squeezed' in rather small voids so that the electronic effects of Ln acting on (BVS)Ln are overridden by stronger steric effects exerted by the org. ligands.

Abstract

 

Three metal-oxide org. frameworks have been synthesized and characterized: vanadium 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate, V2O2F0.6(OH)1.4(BDC)×0.4H2O (1); indium 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate, In2F2.2(OH)1.8(BDC)×1.6H2O (2); and aluminum 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate Al2F3(OH)(BDC) (3).  The three-dimensional structures of 1, 2, and 3 have the same framework topol. as the previously reported vanadium (III) 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate, VIII2(OH)2F2(BDC).  The frameworks consist of inorg. layers constructed from corner sharing ML6 octahedra (M = V, In, Al and L = OH, F) linked by BDC ligands.  The structures are related to a general class of perovskite-related layer structures with compn. MM'X4.  The layers show characteristic distortions that can be related to tilting of the ML6 octahedra.  In particular the structure of 1 consists of O-V distances that strongly alternate along the b axis.  The electronic consequences of this distortion then create a tilting of the 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate ligand about the a axis.  Crystal data: 1, orthorhombic, space group Pmna, a = 7.101(2) .ANG., b = 3.8416(11) .ANG., c = 20.570(6) .ANG.; 2, orthorhombic, space group Cmcm, a = 7.490(4) .ANG., b = 21.803(1) .ANG., c = 8.154(4) .ANG.; 3, monoclinic, space group P21/m, a = 10.7569(8) .ANG., b = 6.7615(3) .ANG., c = 7.1291(3) .ANG., b = 76.02(1)°.

Abstract

 

Single crystals of Ga(OH)(C8H4O4)×0.74C8H6O4 (2) and Ga(OH,F)(C8H4O4)×0.74C8H6O4 (3) were obtained under hydrothermal conditions.  The structures of 2 and 3 have the same topol. framework as the previously reported Al 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate (BDC), Al(OH)(C8H4O4)×0.7C8H6O4 (1).  Crystallog. data and at. coordinates are given.  The frameworks are built by interconnecting M-OH-M chains (M = Al, Ga) with BDC anions to form large diamond-shaped 1-dimensional channels filled with addnl. H2BDC guest mols. occupying disordered positions in the channels.  Upon removal of H2BDC, other guest mols. such as H2O and pyridine can be inserted.  The authors present a study of the intercalation of arom. guests (BDC and pyridine) into frameworks of 1-3 by liq. and vapor diffusion into the empty channels of 1 and by single-crystal-to-single-crystal solvothermal guest exchange for 2 and 3.  In the case of Al(OH)BDC and Ga(OH,F)BDC, two interconvertible, guest-concn.-dependent phases with different orientations of the pyridine guests were obsd., while only one pyridine orientation is found in Ga(OH)BDC.

Abstract

 

An absorbent compn. for desulfurizing a hydrocarbon fluid is made of at least one compd. of a class of porous metal org. compds. of the general formula MOADA, where M is a tetravalent metal or a mixt. of tetravalent metals, O is an oxygen atom, and ADA is a dianion of a dicarboxylic acid (H2ADA).  Preferably, crystals of [VOBDC](H2BDC)0.71 were synthesized hydrothermally, wherein V is vanadium and BDC is 1,4-benzenedicarboxylic acid.  The guest acid mols. were removed by heating in air to give high quality single crystals of VOBDC.  VOBDC was obsd. to show crystal-to-crystal transformations on absorption of the guest mols. aniline, thiophene, and acetone from the liq. phase.  Accurate structural data of the guest mols. and framework deformations were obtained from single crystal x-ray data.  VOBDC was also shown to absorb selectively thiophene and di-Me sulfide from methane.

Abstract

 

Three indium-oxide org. frameworks, In2O(1,3-BDC)2 (1), In(OH)(2,6-NDC)(H2O) (2) and In(OH)(2,7-NDC)(H2O) (3, H2BDC = benzenedicarboxylic acid and H2NDC = naphthalenedicarboxylic acid), were synthesized and characterized by TGA, IR spectroscopy, and single-crystal x-ray diffraction.  Previously, the authors reported the structure of In(OH)(1,4-BDC)×(0.75H2BDC) (0), where the framework is built by interconnecting In-OH-In chains with the BDC anions to form large diamond-shaped 1-dimensional channels filled with guest mols.  Compds. 0-3 all contain In-O(H) chains, but the coordination and geometry depend on the nature of the dicarboxylate ligand.  Compd. 0 contains In-O octahedral centers that connect to form a single trans octahedral chain, while in compd. 1, they connect to form a more complex double chain of octahedra.  Both compds. 2 and 3 contain chains of connected pentagonal bipyramidal InO6(OH2) units.  In 2, these units share trans vertexes that are cross-linked by chelating 2,6-NDC anions, whereas in compd. 3, cis vertexes are shared to form chains that are linked by the 2,7-NDC anions.

Abstract

 

Four two-dimensional coordination polymers contg. the uranyl cation (UO22+), (NH4)UO2(BDC)1.5.2.5H2O (1), KUO2(NDC)1.5.2H2O (2), [C(NH2)3]UO2(NDC)1.5.2H2O (2b), and UO2(HBDC-Br)2 (3) (BDC = 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate, NDC = 1,4-naphthalenedicarboxylate, BDC-Br = 2-bromoterephthalate) were synthesized by hydrothermal reactions.  Compds. 1-2b have the same honeycomb (6,3) net but with 2-fold interpenetration in 1 and without interpenetration in 2 and 2b.  The use of 2-bromoterephthalate yields compd. 3 with a (4,4) net.  The structures of 2 and 2b show that the interpenetration can be prevented by the addn. of a bulky substituent to the ligand.  Maintaining the desired topol., however, requires a careful choice of the substituent group.  Compds. 1, 2, and 2b have a similar structural arrangement to that of benzenetricarboxylic acid (trimesic acid, H3BTC).  In H3BTC, the six rings are formed by H bonding and the interpenetration is more complex than that in 1.  Crystal data: 1, triclinic, space group P.hivin.1, a 10.453(8), b 12.316(9), c 13.441(10) .ANG., a 78.49(1), b 82.17(1), g 85.57(1)°, and Z = 4; 2, monoclinic, space group C2/c, a 12.7795(9), b 19.728(1), c 15.379(1) .ANG., b 92.247(1)°, and Z = 8; 2b, monoclinic, space group C2/c, a 12.7214(8), b 19.645(1), c 17.065(1) .ANG., b 98.896(1)°, and Z = 8; 3, monoclinic, space group P21/c, a 7.873(5), b 18.358(14), c 6.893(5) .ANG., b 115.96(2)°, and Z = 2.

Abstract

 

Four open-framework copper titanosilicates, (NaxH10-x)[Ti4(TiO)0.7Cu0.3Si12O38](H2O)y (1), (Na9H)[Ti4CuSi12O38](H2O)6 (2), Na8CuTi3Si16O43 (3) and K4CuTiSi8O21 (4), were synthesized by hydrothermal techniques.  The crystal structure of phase 1 detd. from single crystal x-ray data is closely similar to that reported for the titanosilicate ETS-4 with .apprx.1/3 TiO5 pyramids randomly replaced by CuO4 squares.  Phase 2 also has the ETS-4 structure but all the TiO5 pyramids are replaced by CuO4 squares which are not randomly disordered.  Phase 3 has the same structure as the mineral narsarsukite, a titanosilicate closely related to the microporous titanosilicate ETS-10.  Narsarsukite and ETS-10 have the same straight single chains of TiO6 octahedra which are partially substituted by CuO4 squares in 3.  Phase 4 contains CuO4 squares and TiO5 tetragonal pyramids that crosslink a new type of silicate double layer to form an open framework.

The contribution to bond valences by lone electron pairs.      Wang, Xiqu.    Department of Chemistry,  University of Houston,  Houston,  TX,  USA.    Materials Research Society Symposium Proceedings  (2005),  848(Solid-State Chemistry of Inorganic Materials V),  345-350.  Publisher: Materials Research Society,  CODEN: MRSPDH  ISSN: 0272-9172.  Journal; General Review  written in English.    AN 2005:1340150    CAPLUS   (Copyright (C) 2006 ACS on SciFinder (R))   

 

Abstract

 

A review.  Bond valence sums (BVS) calcd. for lone-pair cations are found increasingly higher than their formal valences as the retraction of the lone electron pair (LEP) from the nucleus is more pronounced.  The increase in BVS is interpreted as a continuous increase of an effective valence of an atom that is a measure of its actual ability to bind other atoms without changing its formal valence.  How the LEP of a lone-pair cation affects the effective valence of other atoms in a structure is studied by bond valence calcns. for specific structures.  For structures rich in alkali cations, it is found that the high effective valence of the lone-pair cations tends to be balanced by low effective valence of alkali cations.  The LEP transfers bonding power or effective valence from the alkali cations to the lone-pair cations by joining the coordination sphere of the alkali cations.

Abstract

 

From studies of the influence of polyhedron distortions on bond valence sums (BVS), it is concluded that larger deviations of the BVS values from corresponding values of their classical valence are due to the fact that so far no distinction has been made between the stoichiometric valence derived from chem. anal. and the structural valence derived from structure data.

Abstract

 

The compd. In(OH)BDC×0.75BDCH2 (BDC = benzenedicarboxylate), 1, has been synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction.  The structure comprises two distinct sublattices formed by a covalently linked In(OH)BDC lattice and ordered chains of hydrogen-bonded H2BDC mols. and can be described as a hybrid inorg. coordination polymer-org. vernier structure.  Each InO6 octahedron of the octahedral chain has a length of 3.6 .ANG. along the chain axis, whereas each H2BDC mol. has a length of 9.6 .ANG. along the guest column axis.  Therefore, a unit of eight InO6 octahedra of the octahedral chain is just in registry with three H2BDC mols. of the guest column giving a repeat unit of 28.76 .ANG. along the channel axis direction.

Abstract

 

Three new Ni(BDC)/2,2'-bipy compds., Ni2(BDC)(HBDC)2(2,2'-bipy)2 (2), Ni3(BDC)3(2,2'-bipy)2 (3), and Ni(BDC)(2,2-bipy)2×2H2O (5), in addn. to the previously reported Ni(BDC)(2,2'-bipy)×0.75H2BDC (1) and Ni(BDC)(2,2'-bipy)(H2O) (4) [BDC = 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate; 2,2'-bipy = 2,2'-bipyridine], have been synthesized by hydrothermal reactions.  A systematic investigation of the effect of the reaction temp. and pH resulted in a series of compds. with different compns. and dimensionality.  The diverse product slate illustrates the marked sensitivity of the structural chem. of polycarboxylate arom. ligands to synthesis conditions.  Compd. 1, which has a channel structure contg. guest H2BDC mols., is formed at the lowest pH.  The guest H2BDC mols. are connected by hydrogen bonds and form extended chains.  At a slightly higher pH, a dimeric mol. compd. 2 is formed with a lower no. of protonated carboxylate groups per nickel atom and per BDC ligand.  Reactions at higher temp. and the same pH lead to the transformation of 1 and 2 into the two-dimensional, layered trinuclear compd. 3.  As the pH is increased, a one-dimensional polymer 4 is formed with a water mol. coordinated to Ni2+.  Bis-monodentate and bischelating BDC ligands alternate along the chain to give a crankshaft rather than a regular zigzag arrangement.  A further increase of the pH leads to the one-dimensional chain compd. 5, which has two chelating 2,2'-bipy ligands.  Crystal data:  2, triclinic, space group P.hivin.1, a = 7.4896(9) .ANG., b = 9.912(1) .ANG., c = 13.508(2) .ANG., a = 86.390(2)°, b = 75.825(2)°, g = 79.612(2)°, Z = 2; 3, orthorhombic, space group Pbca, a = 9.626(2) .ANG., b = 17.980(3) .ANG., c = 25.131(5) .ANG., Z = 4; 5, orthorhombic, space group Pbcn, a = 14.266(2) .ANG., b = 10.692(2) .ANG., c = 17.171(2) .ANG., Z = 8.

Abstract

 

Three new iron benzenedicarboxylates have been synthesized by solvothermal techniques, and their structures detd. from single crystal X-ray data: Fe(OH)(BDC)(py)0.85 (1), Fe(BDC)(DMF) (2), and Fe(BDC)(py)0.42(DMF)0.25 (3) (BDC = 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate, py = pyridine, DMF=N,N-dimethylformamide).  Compds. 1 and 2 are the Fe(III)- and Fe(II)-structural analogs of the known Cr benzenedicarboxylate compd. (MIL-53).  Both contain trans corner-sharing FeO6 octahedral chains connected by benzenedicarboxylate dianions.  Compd. 3 contains chains of iron oxygen octahedra that share both corners and edges.  Each chain is linked by BDC to six other chains to form a three-dimensional framework.  Crystal data: 1, space group I2/a, a = 6.889(2), b = 11.073(3), c = 18.280(6) .ANG., b = 92.6(1)°; 2, space group Pn21a, a = 19.422(2), b = 7.3022(5), c = 8.8468(7) .ANG.; 3, space group P21/n, a = 9.234(2), b = 17.243(3), c = 9.978(2) .ANG., b = 93.9(1)°.

Abstract

 

Five one-dimensional coordination polymers, Ni(BDC)(1,10-phen) (1), Ni(BDC)(2,2'-bipy).0.75H(2)BDC (2), Ni(BDC)(1,10-phen)(H(2)O) (3), Ni(BDC)(1,10-phen)(H(2)O).0.5H(2)BDC (4) and Ni(BDC)(2,2'-bipy)(H(2)O) (5) [where BDC = 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate, 2,2-bipy = 2,2'-bipyridine, and 1,10-phen = 1,10-phenanthroline] that have the same topology but markedly different geometry and packing of the chains have been synthesized by hydrothermal reactions.  The results of variations of synthesis conditions and substitutions of 1,10-phenanthroline with 2,2'-bipyridine indicate that incorporation of the coordinating water molecule, which affects the degree of bending of the chain, is primarily influenced by the amine ligand size, suggesting a substantial structural role of aromatic-aromatic interactions and amine ligand steric effects.  The incorporation of the guest H(2)BDC molecules was found to be favored by lower pH conditions.  Crystal data: 1, monoclinic, space group P2(1)/n, a = 9.5589(6) A, b = 12.6776(8) A, c = 13.5121(9) A, beta = 95.437(1) degrees, Z = 4; 2, monoclinic, space group P2(1)/c, a = 20.532(3) A, b = 21.505(3) A, c = 18.872(3) A, beta = 93.86(1) degrees, Z = 16; 3, triclinic, space group P1, a = 8.618(3) A, b = 10.058(4) A, c = 11.353(4) A, alpha = 115.31(1) degrees, beta = 92.33(1) degrees, gamma = 94.03(1) degrees, Z = 2; 4, triclinic, space group P1, a = 9.7682(12) A, b = 10.6490(13) A, c = 11.2468(14) A, alpha = 76.685(2) degrees, beta = 65.309(2) degrees, gamma = 85.612(2) degrees, Z = 2; 5, monoclinic, space group P2(1)/c, a = 13.9683(9) A, b = 17.4489(11) A, c = 13.7737(9) A, beta = 99.12(1) degrees, Z = 8.

Abstract

 

Two new Nb phosphates were synthesized and their crystal structures detd. from single-crystal x-ray data.  [NbOF(PO4)](N2C5H7) (1) (monoclinic, space group P21/c, a 11.442(1), b 9.1983(7), c 9.1696(8) .ANG., b 109.94(1)°) has a layered structure and is the 1st example of a neg. charged NbOF(PO4) layer analogous to the MO(H2O)PO4 (M = V, Nb) layers.  The layer charge is compensated by interlayer 4-aminopyridinium cations that adopt an unusual arrangement as a consequence of H-bonding and p-p interactions.  The interlayer aminopyridinium cations can be exchanged with alkylammonium ions which form bilayers inclined at .apprx.65° to the NbOF(PO4) layer.  [(Nb0.9V1.1)O2(PO4)2(H2PO4)](N2C2H10) (2) (orthorhombic, space group Pbca, a 15.821(2),b 9.0295(9), c 18.301(2) .ANG.) has a disordered three-dimensional structure based on NbO(PO4) layers cross-linked by phosphate tetrahedra and has a similar structure to the known V analog [V2O2(PO4)2(H2PO4)] (N2C2H10).

Abstract

 

The chiral layered silicate CsHSi3O7 was synthesized by hydrothermal techniques, and its structure detd. by single crystal x-ray diffraction.  The compd. crystallizes in the space group P212121.  The silicate single layer consists of both four- and three-connected SiO4 tetrahedra and may be considered as a member of layer structures (Si4O9)m(Si2O5)n.  Strong H bonds occur between the terminal OH- and O2- ions of neighboring layers.  The Cs+ cations can be ion-exchanged by protons to give a phase H2Si3O7×H2O with a H2O mol. occupying the original Cs position, as confirmed by single crystal x-ray diffraction data.  The H2O mol. in H2Si3O7×H2O can be readily removed without collapse of the crystal structure.  Both CsHSi3O7 and H2Si3O7×H2O show SHG (second harmonic generation) efficiencies comparable to that of quartz, and both are not phase-matchable materials.

Abstract

 

Single crystals of a novel org.-inorg. framework [Fe0.28V0.72OH0.8(NH4)0.2(C8H4O4)]×0.53(C8H6O4), 1, were prepd. by hydrothermal synthesis in the presence of an oxidizing agent.  The structure was solved by single crystal x-ray diffraction: space group Pnma, a 17.6956(19) .ANG., b 6.8745(7) .ANG., c 11.9303(12) .ANG..  The three dimensional framework is constructed from Fe/V-O chains that are cross-linked by 1,4-benzenedicarboxylate (BDC) anions forming large 1-dimensional channels.  As synthesized, the compd. contains addnl. dicarboxylate groups occupying disordered positions in the channels that can be removed by heating.  The chem. reactivity of 1 and its magnetic properties are reported.  The new phase is closely related to analogous Cr(III) and V(III) phases recently reported by Ferey and co-workers.

Abstract

 

A review.  A family of microporous and open-framework microporous transition metal silicates were prepd. by hydrothermal synthesis at T £ 240°.  The structures of the compd. are based on a common principle in which anionic silicate components (layers, chains, or cluster anions) are connected by isolated transition metal polyhedra by sharing four corners in a square arrangement.  Known examples of this class of compds. are reviewed and some recent progress on extending the syntheses to include org. templates are discussed.

Abstract

 

A single-crystal barium oxotitanate(III, IV) of approx. compn. Ba5.93(Ti3+11.86Ti4+28.14)O80, contg. mixed-valence Ti, was grown from a borate flux.  The crystal structure was identified as hollandite-type by single-crystal X-ray diffractometry.  Electron-energy-loss spectroscopy of Ti L2,3 and O K edges was used to det. chem. shifts related to the presence of mixed-valence Ti in the crystal.  Comparison of Ti L2,3 and O K energy-loss near-edge structure.  Comparison of Ti L2,3 and O K energy-loss near-edge structure (ELNES) of Ba5.93(Ti3+11.86Ti4+28.14)O80 with those obtained from a K1.54Mg0.77Ti7.23O16 single crystal with hollandite structure, contg. only Ti4+, revealed a shift in the Ti L2,3 edge by 0.4-0.5 eV towards lower energy losses whereas only slight intensity variations without a detectable energy shift of the edge onset occur at the O K ELNES.  In addn., valence-specific multiplet structures of the Ti L23 ELNES are used as valence fingerprints.  The obsd. fine structures of O K and Ti L2,3 edges can be used to interpret coordination and bonding in related compds.

Abstract

 

Three novel vanadogermanate cluster anions have been synthesized by hydrothermal reactions.  The cluster anions are derived from the {V18O42} Keggin cluster shell by substitution of V:O2+ "caps" by Ge2O(OH)24+ species.  In Cs8[Ge4V16O42(OH)4]×4.7H2O, 1, (monoclinic, space group C2/c (No. 15), Z = 8, a = 44.513(2) .ANG., b = 12.7632(7) .ANG., c = 22.923(1) .ANG., b = 101.376(1)°) and (pipH2)4(pipH)4[Ge8V14O50×(H2O)] (pip = C4N2H10), 2 (tetragonal, space group P42/nnm (No. 134), Z = 2, a = 14.9950(7) .ANG., c = 18.408(1) .ANG.), two and four VO2+ caps are replaced, resp., and each cluster anion encapsulates a water mol.  In K5H8Ge8V12SO52×10H2O, 3, (tetragonal, space group I4/m (No. 87), Z = 2, a = 15.573(1) .ANG., c = 10.963(1) .ANG.), four VO2+ caps are replaced by Ge2O(OH)24+ species, and an addnl. two are omitted.  The cluster ion in 3 contains a sulfate anion disordered over two positions.  The cluster anions are analogous to the vanadoarsenate anions [V18-nAs2nO42(X)]m- (X = SO3, SO4, Cl; n = 3, 4) previously reported.

Abstract

 

The open-framework uranium fluorosilicate [(CH(3))(4)N][(C(5)H(5)NH)(0.8)((CH(3))(3)NH)(0.2)]U(2)Si(9)O(23)F(4) (USH-8) has been synthesized hydrothermally by using tetramethylammonium hydroxide and pyridine-HF. The compound has a framework composition U(2)Si(9)O(23)F(4) based on silicate double layers that are linked by chains of UO(3)F(4) pentagonal bipyramids. The framework has 12-ring channels along [010] and 7-ring channels along [100]. The [010] 12-ring channels have a calabash-shape with the middle part partially blocked by the uranyl oxygen atoms. The narrow side of the 12-ring channels is occupied by well-ordered TMA cations while the wide side is occupied by disordered pyridinium and trimethylammonium cations.

Abstract

 

Novel V silicates with open-framework and microporous structures were synthesized under mild hydrothermal conditions.  Ten distinct framework types were identified that all have structures based on crosslinking single silicate sheets with square pyramidal VIVO5 units to give compds. Ar[(VO)s(Si2O5)p(SiO2)q]×tH2O, where A is Na, K, Rb, Cs, or a combination.  The vanadosilicate (VSH-n) structures have free channel diams. up to 6.5 .ANG. and show good thermal stability, absorption, and ion-exchange properties, suggesting their potential for technol. applications as mol. sieves or in catalysis.

Abstract

 

A new sodium vanadium(III) silicate, Na3V(Si4O11)×H2O (VSH-16Na1) has been synthesized hydrothermally and its structure detd. by single crystal X-ray diffraction.  The compd. crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1 with a=7.524(1) A, b=8.755(2) A, c=9.055(2) A, a=62.486(3)°, b=83.998(3)°, g=88.692(3)°, V=525.9(2) A3, and Z=2.  The [SiO4] tetrahedra share corners with each other to form unbranched [Si8O22]12- double chains.  These chains are connected by isolated [VO6] octahedra to form an open framework structure with eight-ring channels.  The magnetic susceptibility data show Curie-Weiss behavior down to 5 K and are consistent with the trivalent state of the vanadium atoms.

Abstract

 

The compd. Cs10.5[(V16O40)(Si4.5V1.5O10)]×3.5H2O (1) was prepd. and is the 1st example of an extended structure in which a polyoxometalate anion is linked by an extended tetrahedral unit.  The shell can be considered as a deriv. of the a-Keggin cluster shell [V12O36].  The 6 square windows of the a-Keggin shell can be capped by V=O groups to form a [V18O42] shell.  Substitution of two VO5 pyramids of the [V18O42] shell by Si2O7 dimers leads to the [V16Si4O46] unit of 1.  Neighboring [V16Si4O46] shells are linked together by (V1.5Si0.5)O4 tetrahedra to form infinite chains running along [001].  1 Was characterized by single crystal x-ray diffraction anal.

Abstract

 

Two new copper 2-pyrazinecarboxylate (2-pzc) coordination polymers incorporating [Mo8O26]4- and [V10O28H4]2- anions were synthesized and structurally characterized: Cu4(2-pzc)4(H2O)8(Mo8O26)×2H2O (1) and Cu3(2-pzc)4(H2O)2(V10O28H4)×6.5H2O (2).  Without the presence of the cluster anions, the mononuclear compd.

Abstract

 

The synthesis temp. for silicalite-I (MFI) can be raised to 300° by applying high pressure to stabilize the structure-directing org. template.  The elevated temp. and pressure favor the formation of crystals with improved quality.  Prismatic silicalite-I crystals with a uniform size of .apprx.0.7 ´ 0.2 ´ 0.2 mm were obtained by heating a gel prepd. from TMA-silicate soln., TPABr and Na hexafluorosilicate at 250° under a pressure of 80 MPa.  The influence of synthesis conditions on the crystal sizes was studied by systematically changing temp., pressure and gel compns.  Under the specific conditions of 250° and 80 MPa, a strong correlation was found between the crystal size and the F/Si mole ratio of the starting gel, which enables the prepn. of uniform crystals of silicalite-I with preset dimensions.

Abstract

 

Strategies for developing novel inorg.-org. hybrid compds. with a variety of functions have been explored in recent years.  Our studies of the cobalt vanadate compds., by using, for example, 4,4'-bipyridine, pyrazine and 2-pyrazinecarboxylate ligands, have resulted in several new compds. with interesting structures.  These structures, ranging from two-dimensional layers to a three-dimensional chiral open-framework, are found to be closely related to the size and coordination capabilities of the org. ligands.  The magnetic and absorption properties have been investigated.

Abstract

 

Using an unsym. org. ligand, 2-pyrazinecarboxylate, three novel inorg.-org. hybrid compds. were prepd., whose framework structures contain tubes formed from four M(2-pzc) helical chains, namely [Co4(2-pzc)4(V6O17)].xH2O (I), [Ni4(2-pzc)4(V6O17)].xH2O (II) and [(NH4)2Co8(2-pzc)8(H2O)2(VO3)10].xH2O (III).  I and II are chiral, whereas III contains equal nos. of left- and right-handed tubes.  I and II are tetragonal, space group I4, Z = 4, R = 0.0485 and 0.1032, resp., and III is monoclinic, space group Cc, Z = 4, R = 0.0548.  The pH of the syntheses dets. the nature of the vanadate chains and consequently the final structure that is adopted.  The thermal stabilities of I and II are among the highest of the metal-org. complexes reported.  Further work is in progress to combine asym. ligands with other inorg. oxide networks.

Abstract

 

The new thioantimonates [(CH3NH3)0.5(NH4)1.5]Sb8S13×2.8H2O (1) and Rb2Sb8S13×3.3H2O (2) were hydrothermally synthesized and characterized by single-crystal structure detn.  The two compds. are isostructural and crystallize in the monoclinic system, space group P21/m with a 7.1931(3), b 25.770(1), c 15.9999(8) .ANG., b 96.856(1)°, Z = 4 for 1 and a 7.1899(8), b 25.760(3), c 15.973(2) .ANG., b 96.541(2)°, Z = 4 for 2, measured at 293 K.  The structure consists of 12-membered rings of SbS3 pyramids that are linked into 1-dimensional complex chains.  The chains are interconnected by secondary Sb-S bonds to form puckered layers.  The stacking of the layers aligns the 12-membered rings, giving rise to a system of wide channels with an aperture of .apprx. 5.9´8.0 .ANG..  The monovalent cations and water mols. are located in the channels.  The layers are closely related to those found in (C4H10N)2Sb8S13×0.15H2O and (C8N4H26)0.5Sb7S11.  (c) 2000 Academic Press.

Abstract

 

Hydrothermal synthesis, in which one component is electrochem. generated, can provide addnl. control of the reaction chem.  Several novel vanadium oxides have been synthesized with this technique by anodizing vanadium metal in aq. solns. at mild temps.  The new compd. Zn2(OH)VO4 contains both 5- and 6-coordinated Zn and has a centrosym. structure.  The centrosymmetry is broken in the nickel analog Ni2(OH)VO4 due to Jahn-Teller distortions.  Using tetramethylammonium as a template the novel compd. [N(CH3)4]2[Co(H2O)4V12O28] has been obtained.  The structure contains mixed-valent vanadium oxide layers that are cross-linked into a porous framework by CoO6 octahedra.  The channel-like voids of the framework are filled by N(CH3)4 cations.  This compd. is closely related to the known vanadium oxides [N(CH3)4]V3O14, [C6H14N2]V6O14.sum.H2O and [(en)2Cu]V6O14].

Abstract

 

The compd. NH4[V2P2BO10(OH)2].1.5H2O has been synthesized by hydrothermal reaction of V2O3, (NH4)2HPO4 and H3BO3 in aq. soln. at 190°C for 3 days under autogeneous pressure.  Transparent blue crystals up to 0.3 mm in size were obtained.  The structure has been solved by single crystal methods, S.G. R-3m (#166), a0 = 14.116(2) .ANG., a = 71.96(2)°, R1 = 0.07.  The structure consists of two edge sharing V2O6 dimers which are linked together by sharing common corners with [BP2O6(OH)2]2- trimers, thus forming 12-membered rings.  These rings are arranged in doughnut-like clusters which are centered by one of the templating NH4+ ions.  The rest of NH4+ cations and the water mols. are bonded to the lattice oxygens and to each other by an extended network of hydrogen bonds which hold the whole complex structure together.  The chem. compn. and thermal behavior of the title compd. have been confirmed by microprobe SEM, IR and TGA analyses.  Magnetic susceptibility studies revealed that vanadium atoms in the V2O6 dimers are antiferromagnetically coupled.

Abstract

 

Hydrothermal syntheses in the system V2O5 -MoO3 -TMAOH at systematically varied pH values led to several novel polyvanadomolybdates that were characterized by IR, TGA, electron microprobe anal. and single crystal structure detns.  The anions of (TMA)6[(VO4)2(Mo18O54)].sum..apprx.3H2O(1) have the Wells-Dawson cluster structure.  Both VO4 tetrahedra inside the Mo18O54 shell are ordered.  Because of the larger size of the vanadium cations the interactions between the oxygen atoms of the guest VO4 tetrahedra and Mo atoms of the shell are stronger than those in the Wells-Dawson cluster [(PO4)2(Mo18O54]6-.  The anion clusters in the new compds. of (TMA)4[(VO4)(V3.9Mo10.1O38)] .sum..apprx.4H2O(2) and (TMA)8[(MoO4)-(V21.4Mo0.6O54)].sum.6H2O(3) are isotypic to those in the known compds. (CN3H6)8H(PO)4(V14O38).sum.7H2O and (NEt4)6[(ClO4)(HV22O55)], resp.  However, the VO4 tetrahedra in 2 and the MoO4 tetrahedra in 3 are both orientationally disordered.  The symmetry of the clusters are strongly affected by substitutions at the cation positions of the shells.

[FeMo6O20].  The arrangement of MoO6 octahedra in the chains is identical to that found in the red potassium molybdenum bronze structure.  In the (TMA)2FeMo6O20 structure, the chains are connected into layers by bridging FeO6 octahedra.  In the bronze structure the chains are directly connected by sharing oxygen atoms.  The structure of [TMA]2[Fe(H2O)6]Mo8O26 is made up by packing an octahedral [Fe(H2O)62+] cation and a typical b-[Mo8O264-] cluster anion.

Abstract

 

The three-dimensional coordination polymers [{Bu3Sn}3M(CN)6] (M = Fe, Co) were synthesized by slow interdiffusion of aq. solns. of K3[M(CN)6] and THF solns. of Bu3SnCl.  The structures were detd. by single-crystal x-ray crystallog. (M = Fe, cubic, space group P4132, a 17.338(1) .ANG., Z = 4; M = Co, cubic, space group P4332, a 17.260(1) .ANG., Z = 4).  The compds. are examples of guest-free cyanide-bridged 3-dimensional neutral networks and are composed of nearly planar Bu3Sn units linked together with slightly distorted octahedral M(CN)6 fragments through the cyanide N atoms.  Ignoring the Bu groups, each M(CN)6 octahedron is corner-shared with six neighbors through Sn, and each M atom is a vertex for three three-membered rings and fifteen five-membered rings.  The Bu groups are disordered over three positions, with their trigonal arrangement preserved.  [{Bu3Sn}3M(CN)6] crystallize in chiral space groups, and they are essentially isostructural enantiomers with similar cell dimensions.

Abstract

 

In the studies of open framework structures with low framework densities, we synthesized and structurally characterized a coordination polymer [(C6H5)3Sn]2Ni(CN)4.sum.(C6H5)3SnCl-.sum.CH3CN which is topol. related to the structure of NbO.  The three dimensional neutral framework is built up from square planar Ni(CN)42- anions and bridging (C6H5)3Sn+ cations that are connected in such a way that large voids are generated.  The compd. was prepd. in single crystal form by slow interdiffusion of soln. of (C6H5)3SnCl and K2Ni(CN)4 and the structure was solved by single crystal X-ray diffraction.  The central cavity is the largest known in this class of materials.  As synthesized, the cavity in the structure is filled by (C6H5)3SnCl and acetonitrile mols. that support the framework.  More details about the synthesis and structure will be presented.

Abstract

 

A novel thioantimonate(III) [(CH3NH3)1.03K2.97]Sb12S20×1.34H2O was synthesized hydrothermally.  It crystallizes in space group P.hivin.1, with a 11.9939(7), b 12.8790(8), c 14.9695(9) .ANG., a 100.033(1), b 99.691(1), g 108.582(1)°, Z = 2 and R = 0.037.  In the crystal, each Sb(III) atoms has short bonds (2.37-2.58 .ANG.) to three S atoms.  The pyramidal [SbS3] groups share common S atoms forming two types of centrosym. [Sb12S20] rings with the same topol. which are interconnected by weaker Sb-S bonds (2.92-3.29 .ANG.) into 2-dimensional layers.  Adjacent layers are parallel with K+, CH3NH3+, and H2O mols. located between them.  Variation of bond valence sums calcd. for the Sb(III) cations is correlated with the coordination geometry.  This is interpreted as due to the stereochem. activity of their lone electron pairs.  (c) 1998 Academic Press.

Abstract

 

A new Sr oxoselenoantimonate(III), Sr10[Sb7O13(OH)]2 [SbSe3]2Se×2H2O, was hydrothermally synthesized and characterized by single crystal structure detn.  It crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group P21/n, with a 11.4013(6), b 18.417(1), c 13.0568(7) .ANG., b 108.51(1)°, measured at 223 K.  In the structure [SbO3] pyramids share O atoms to form [Sb7O13(OH)] single branched six-rings that are interconnected by Sr-O bonds into layers [Sr5Sb7O13(OH)].  The interlayer spaces are occupied by [SbSe3] pyramids and isolated Se2- anions.  Both the [Sb7O13(OH)] single branched six-rings and the [SbSe3] pyramids can be considered as building blocks of the known structure K6[Sb12O18][SbSe3]2×6H2O.  (c) 1998 Academic Press.

Abstract

 

The cetineite structure-type has the very general formula A6[B12O18][CX3]2[DxY6-y] with 0 £ x £ 2 and 0 £ y £ 6.  In a preceding paper natural and synthetic cetineite-type phases with a = Na+, K+, Rb+, Sr2+, Ba2+; B = C = Sb; X = S2-, Se2-; D = Na+, Sb3+, C4+; and Y = H2O, OH-, O-2 were described.  The results of crystal structure detns. from single-crystal x-ray diffraction data of 4 of these phases are reported.  K6[Sb12O18][SbS3]2[Sb0.12(H2O)5.64(OH)0.36]: space group P63/m, a 14.318(3), c 5.633(1) .ANG., Z = 1; Sr6[Sb12O18][SbSe3]2[(OH)6]: space group P63/m, a 14.320(3), c 5.515(1) .ANG., Z = 1; Ba6[Sb12O18][SbSe3]2[(CO3)1.5O1.5]: P63/m, a 14.504(3), c 5.616(1) .ANG., Z = 1; K6[Sb12O18][SbSe3]2[(H2O)6]: P63, a 29.260(7), c 5.6164(7) .ANG., Z = 4.  At. coordinates and R's are given.  In the 1st 3 phases 1-dimensional stacks of trigonal pyramids [SbX3]3- are orientationally disordered between [Sb12O18] tubes stretching along [001].  Rotation of the tubes around their axes is governed by repulsive forces between lone-electron pairs of the Sb3+ of neighboring tubes.  The 4th phase has a 2a, 2b, c superstructure with an ordered arrangement of the stacks of [SbSe3] pyramids.  Comparison of these 4 cetineite-type structures, with others described in the literature, reveal that the reported existence of subtypes with ordered and disordered [SbX3] groups in a, b, c unit cells of P63 symmetry is doubtful.  Changes in the structures are correlated with the length of the A-X bonds, the valence of the A cations, and the occupancy and size of the D cations, which are located along the tube axes and surrounded by Y ligands that form slightly elongated trigonal antiprisms.  The extension of the cetineite structure field, r(B) = r(C) = 0.76 .ANG. (Sb3+), 1.84 .ANG. £ r(X) £ 1.98 .ANG. (S2- and Se2-), 1.02 .ANG. £ r(A[6]) £ 1.52 .ANG. (Na+ to Rb+), and valence of a equal to +1 and +2, is correlated with the strength and covalency of the various bonds between the atoms.

Abstract

 

Hydrothermal syntheses between 120 and 200° were performed to det. the chem. variability of semiconducting microporous materials with cetineite structure.  The syntheses were based on the general formula A6[B12O18][CX3]2[Dx(H2O,OH,O)6-y], (0 £ x £ 2; 0 £ y £ 6), which was derived from x-ray crystal structure refinements.  A = Li+, Na+, K+, Rb+, Cs+, Tl+, NH4+, Ca2+, Sr2+, and Ba2+ were introduced as hydroxides, in some cases as carbonates, B = C = As3+, Sb3+, and Bi3+, and X = S2-, Se2-, and Te2- as elements.  Only syntheses with B = C = Sb3+ and X = S2- and Se2- were successful.  Known cetineite-type phases now include the element combinations A/Sb3+/S2- with A = Na+ and K+, and A/Sb3+/Se2- with A = Na+, K+, Rb+, Sr2+, Ba2+, and probably Tl+.  Variable amts. of Na+, Sb3+ and C4+ occupy the D position of the cetineite-type structure.  The chem. variability can be described by the coupled substitutions A+ + H2O .tautm. A2+ + OH-, mH2O .tautm. Dm+ + mOH-, and nOH- .tautm. Dn+ + nO2-.  The crystals obtained are orange to dark red, in agreement with their semiconducting properties.

Influence of lone-pair electrons of cations on bond-valence parameters.     Wang, X.; Liebau, F..    Mineralogisches Inst.,  Univ.

Abstract

 

According to the current bond-valence concept, the valence Vi of an atom Ai is a function of the distances Dij to its neighbors Xj and can be calcd. using Vi = .sum.sij = .sum.exp[(r0 - Dij)/0.37], where the bond-valence parameter r0 is considered to be const. for each element pair A-X.  A statistical anal. based on 1924 [LMm] polyhedra is presented, where L are cations having 1 lone-pair and X = O, S, or Se.  According to this anal.,forir0 for each individual [LXm] polyhedron is dependent on the stereochem. influence of the lone-pair electrons on the geometry of the polyhedron.  This influence is expressed by a vector .vector.Fi = .vector.F(ÐXj - Li - Xj', Dij).  As a result, the formal bond-valence sum for an individual lone-pair cation Li can be calcd. with .sum.jsij = .sum.jexp[(E|.vector.F| + F - Dij)/0.37] where E and F are consts.

Abstract

 

In the present bond-valence concept the bond-valence parameter ro is treated as const. for a given pair of atoms; it is assumed that the bond valence sij is a function of the corresponding bond length Dij, and that the at. valence is an integer equal to the formal oxidn. no. forVi derived from stoichiometry.  However, from a statistical anal. of 76 [SbIIISn] and 14 [SbIIISen] polyhedra in exptl. detd. structures, it is shown that for SbIII-X bonds (X = S, Se), ro is correlated with ai, the av. of the X-Sb-X angles between the three shortest Sb-X bonds.  This is interpreted as a consequence of a progressive retraction of the 5s lone-electron pair from the SbIII nucleus, which can be considered as continuous change of the actual at. valence actVi of Sb from +3 towards +5.  A procedure is derived to calc. an effective at. valence effVi of SbIII from the geometry, ai and Dij, of the [SbIIIXn] polyhedra, which approximates actVi and is a better description of the actual valence state of SbIII than the formal valence forVi.  Calcd. effVSb are found to vary between +2.88 and +3.80 v.u. for [SbIIISn] and between +2.98 and +3.88 v.u. for [SbIIISen] polyhedra.  A corresponding modification of the present bond-valence concept is also required for other cations with lone-electron pairs.

Abstract

 

[H3N(CH2)3NH3]Sb10S16 was hydrothermally synthesized from elemental Sb and S using H2N(CH2)3NH2 as a templating agent.  The dark red crystals are monoclinic, space group P21/n, a 18.359(4), b 10.927(2), c 17.389(3) .ANG., b 111.44(2)°, Z = 4.  The structure was refined to R(F) = 0.071 with 3210 independent single crystal x-ray reflections (MoKa radiation) and for 256 variables.  [SbS4] and [SbS5] polyhedra share corners and edges to form a 3-dimensional framework which is traversed by a 2-dimensional channel system.  The [H3N(CH2)3NH3]2+ cations are located within cages at intersections of the channels.

Abstract

 

[MeNH3]2Sb8S13 was synthesized as dark-red plate-like crystals by heating Sb and S with an aq. soln. of MeNH2 between 130 and 190°.  It is triclinic, space group P.hivin.1, with a 15.866(3), b 11.581(2), c 8.295(2) .ANG., a 71.46(2), b 75.71(2), g 82.25(2)°, and Z = 2.  The structure was detd. and refined with 3342 independent single crystal x-ray reflections (235 parameters, R = 0.061, Rw = 0.052).  Each Sb atom forms three short bonds to S reflecting the influence of a lone electron pair.  Of the eight nonequivalent Sb atoms, three have one longer bond and four other Sb atoms have two longer bonds to S.  The [SbSn] polyhedra share corners and edges to form a three-dimensional framework.  This framework is traversed by a system of two types of intersecting channels parallel to [010] and [001].  [MeNH3]+ cations located in the channel intersections are orientationally disordered; those in pockets of the [010] channels are ordered.

Abstract

 

A new method for distinguishing the 3 major petrogenetic series of igneous rocks (subalkaline, alk., and strongly alk. series) is proposed, based on examn. of the behavior of major rock-forming oxides.  During fractional crystn., SiO2 first combines with MgO and CaO to form forsterite, diopside, enstatite, etc. and the sepn. of these minerals doesn't change the alky. of the magma very much.  In the diopside and enstatite, the amt. of SiO2 is approx. equal to CaO + 1.5MgO, in wt.%.  Hence, the relative proportion of (SiO2-CaO-1.5MgO) wt.% with alkali metals in rocks can be used to est. the alky. of rock series.  Boundaries among subalk. series, alk. series and strongly alk. series are presented in a (SiO2-CaO-MgO) wt.% vs. (K2O + 1.5Na2O) wt.% diagram, based on 263 groups of rock compn. data.  The new method is more accurate than the SiO2 vs. (K2O + Na2O) diagram given by A. Miyashiro (1978) and G. MacDonald and T. Katsura, (1964), esp. for the rocks with very high or very low SiO2 content.
