Usage

General Description

Ceramics-AEium(III) fluoride, also known as cerium(III) fluoride, is a chemical compound consisting of one cerium ion (Ce3+) and three fluoride ions (F-). It is commonly used in the production of ceramics, as well as in other industrial processes. Cerium(III) fluoride is known for its high melting point and resistance to heat, making it suitable for use in high-temperature applications. It also exhibits catalytic properties, making it useful in chemical reactions and industrial processes. Additionally, cerium(III) fluoride is also used as a component in the production of glass and optical materials, due to its optical properties and ability to enhance the performance of these materials.

CeF3 nanoparticles: Synthesis and characterization

CeF3 nanoparticles 5-10nm in size were prepared using the polyol method. CeCl3 and HF were heated up in ethylene glycol. At a temperature of 180°C crystalline CeF3 nanoparticles were formed. The material was washed with ethanol, centrifugated and dried. The particles were characterized by EDX, XRD and TEM.

Infrared spectra and quantum chemical calculations of the bridge-bonded HC(F)LnF2 (Ln = La-Lu) complexes

Lanthanide metal atoms, produced by laser ablation, were condensed with CHF3 (CDF3) in excess argon or neon at 4 K, and new infrared absorptions are assigned to the oxidative addition product fluoromethylene lanthanide difluoride complex on the basis of deuterium substitution and density functional theory frequency calculations. Two dominant bands in the 500 cm-1 region are identified as metal-fluorine stretching modes. A band in the mid-600 cm-1 region is diagnostic for the unusual fluorine bridge bond C-(F)-Ln. Our calculations show that most of the bridged HC(F)LnF2 structures are 3-6 kcal/mol lower in energy than the open CHF-LnF2 structures, which is in contrast to the open structures observed for the corresponding CH2-LnF2 methylene lanthanide difluorides. Argon-to-neon matrix shifts are 15-16 cm -1 to the blue for stretching of the almost purely ionic Ln-F bonds, as expected, but 10 cm-1 to the red for the bridge C-(F)-Ln stretching mode, which arises because Ar binds more strongly to the electropositive Ln center, decreasing the bridge bonding, and thus allowing a higher C-F stretching frequency.
