A structural variant to the NaErCl4/α-NiWO4 type for ternary rare-earth halides NaMCl4: Synthesis and crystal structure of NaLuCl4

Single crystals of NaLuCl4 (orthorhombic, Pbcn (Nr. 60), Z = 4, a = 618.6(1) pm, b = 1592.2(2) pm, c = 657.0(1) pm) were grown for the first time from the binary components using the Bridgman technique. The crystal structure may be derived from a hexagonally closest packing of Cl- spheres with one half of all octahedral sites occupied by the cations Na+ and Lu3+, respectively. The close relation of the structure to that of NaErCl4 (α-NiWO4) is discussed. NaScCl4 was found to be isotypic to NaLuCl4. Johann Ambrosius Barth 1996.

Syntheses and structural properties of rare earth carbodiimides

Crystalline samples of rare earth carbodiimides were synthesized by solid-state metathesis reactions of rare earth trichlorides with lithium cyanamide in sealed silica ampules. Two distinct structures were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The structure determined for Sm 2(CN2)3 [C2/m, Z = 2, a = 14.534(2) A, b = 3.8880(8) A, c = 5.2691(9) A, β = 95.96(2)°, R 1 = 0.0267, and wR2 = 0.0667] was assigned for RE 2(CN2)3 compounds with RE = Y, Pr, Nd, Sm, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, and Er, and the structure determined for Lu2(CN 2)3 [R32, Z = 3, a = 6.2732(8) A, c = 14.681 (2) A, R1 = 0.0208, and wR2 = 0.0526] was assigned for the smallest rare earth ions with RE = Tm, Yb, and Lu by powder X-ray diffraction. Both types of crystal structures are characterized by layers of [NCN]2- ions whose arrangements can be derived from the motif of a closest packed layer of sticks. These layers alternate with layers of rare earth ions in a one-by-one sequence. Different tilting arrangements of the N-C-N-axes relative to the stacking directions (c) and different arrangements of RE 3+ ions within metal atom layers account for the two distinct structures in which Sm3+ and Lu3+ ions adopt the coordination numbers 7 and 6, respectively.

Self-assembled light lanthanide oxalate architecture with controlled morphology, characterization, growing mechanism and optical property

Flower-like Sm2(C2O4)3· 10H2O had been synthesized by a facile complex agent assisted precipitation method. The flower-like Sm2(C2O 4)3·10H2O was characterized by X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, field-emission scanning electron microscopy, thermogravimetry- differential thermal analysis and photoluminescence. The possible growth mechanism of the flower-like Sm2(C2O4) 3·10H2O was proposed. To extend this method, other Ln2(C2O4)3·nH2O (Ln = Gd, Dy, Lu, Y) with different morphologies also had been prepared by adjusting different rare earth precursors. Further studies revealed that besides the reaction conditions and the additive amount of complex agents, the morphologies of the as-synthesised lanthanide oxalates were also determined by the rare earth ions. The Sm2(C2O4) 3·10H2O and Sm2O3 samples exhibited different photoluminescence spectra, which was relevant to Sm 3+ energy level structure of 4f electrons. The method may be applied in the synthesis of other lanthanide compounds, and the work could explore the potential optical materials.

Lanthanide carbonates

The crystal and molecular structures of the rare earth carbonates with the general formulae [C(NH2)]3 [Ln(CO3)4 (H2O)]·2H2O (where Ln = Pr3+,Nd 3+,Sm3+,Eu3+,Gd3+,Tb 3+)and [C(NH2)]3 [Ln(CO3) 4]·2H2O (where Ln = Y3+,Dy 3+,Ho3+,Er3+, Tm3+,Yb 3+,Lu3+) were determined. The crystals consist of monomeric [Ln(CO3)4 (H2O)] 5-or [Ln(CO3)4] 5-complex anions in which the carbonate ligands coordinate to the Ln3+ion in a bidentate manner. The spectroscopic (UV/Vis/NIR and IR) properties of the crystalline lanthanide carbonates, as well as their aqueous solutions, were determined. Correlation between the spectroscopic and the structural data enabled us to conclude that the [Ln(CO3)4 (OH)]6-and [Ln-(CO 3)4]5- species predominate in the light and heavy lanthanide solutions, respectively. The nature of the Ln-O interaction was also discussed. The experimental data, as well as the theoretical calculations, indicated that the Ln-O(CO3 2-) bond is more covalent than the Ln-O(OH2) bond. Moreover, the covalency degree is larger for the heavy lanthanide ions. Inspection of the NBO results revealed that the oxygen hybrids, with the approximate composition sp4, form strongly polarized bonds with the 6s6p5d4 hybrids of lutetium. 2011 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Synthesis, characterization and thermal behaviour of solid-state 3-methoxybenzoates of heavy trivalent lanthanides and yttrium(III)

Solid-state Ln(L)3 compounds, where Ln stands for trivalent Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, Lu and Y, and L is 3-methoxybenzoate, have been synthesized. X-ray powder diffractometry, infrared spectroscopy, complexometry and elemental analysis were used to characterize the compounds. Inorder to study the thermal behaviour of these compounds simultaneous th ermogravimetry and differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) were used. The results provided information on the composition, dehydration, polymorphic transformation, thermal stability and thermal decomposition of the synthesized compounds.

Structural characterization of methanol substituted lanthanum halides

The first study into the alcohol solvation of lanthanum halide [LaX3] derivatives as a means to lower the processing temperature for the production of the LaBr3 scintillators was undertaken using methanol (MeOH). Initially the de-hydration of {[La(μ-Br)(H2O)7](Br)2}2 (1) was investigated through the simple room temperature dissolution of 1 in MeOH. The mixed solvate monomeric [La(H2O)7(MeOH)2](Br)3 (2) compound was isolated where the La metal center retains its original 9-coordination through the binding of two additional MeOH solvents but necessitates the transfer of the innersphere Br to the outersphere. In an attempt to in situ dry the reaction mixture of 1 in MeOH over CaH2, crystals of [Ca(MeOH)6](Br)2 (3) were isolated. Compound 1 dissolved in MeOH at reflux temperatures led to the isolation of an unusual arrangement identified as the salt derivative {[LaBr2.75·5.25(MeOH)]+0.25 [LaBr3.25·4.75(MeOH)]-0.25} (4). The fully substituted species was ultimately isolated through the dissolution of dried LaBr3 in MeOH forming the 8-coordinated [LaBr3(MeOH)5] (5) complex. It was determined that the concentration of the crystallization solution directed the structure isolated (4 concentrated; 5 dilute) The other LaX3 derivatives were isolated as [(MeOH)4(Cl)2La(μ-Cl)]2 (6) and [La(MeOH)9](I)3·MeOH (7). Beryllium Dome XRD analysis indicated that the bulk material for 5 appear to have multiple solvated species, 6 is consistent with the single crystal, and 7 was too broad to elucidate structural aspects. Multinuclear NMR (139La) indicated that these compounds do not retain their structure in MeOD. TGA/DTA data revealed that the de-solvation temperatures of the MeOH derivatives 4-6 were slightly higher in comparison to their hydrated counterparts.
