Rare Earth Trifluorides

Previous work in this area (oftedal-1929, Zalkin and Templeton-1952 ) using X-ray diffraction techniques assigned primitive structural units to the rare earth trifluorides of Lanthanum, Cerium, Praseodymium, Neodymium, Ytterbium and Samarium.The work of greatest interest in this investigation is that of Zalkin and Templeton. In their investigation they found that the 4f trifluorides from La to Nd are hexagonal while those from Sm to Lu are orthorhombic with SmF3 exhibiting a dual structure of both units, depending on the temperature of formation.Continuing the recent work of Barr, the structures of LaF3, NdF3, PrF3, SmF3 and YbF3 were investigated using lower chamber diffraction (LCD) which produced results appearing to conflict with the X-ray work of Zalkin and Templeton. To these authors knowledge there are no known publications dealing with the structural analysis of these five rare earth trifluorides other than the two papers cited. In addition, these works deal with X-ray determinations which, although complementary to electron diffraction, lack the microanalysis and limited innerplanar spacing analysis characteristic to ED.

Abstract The utility of analogs to glycerol-containing lipids based on the configurational isomers of cyclo-pentane-1,2,3-triol for ab initio crystal structure analysis via electron diffraction is assessed further. Such analogs of tripalmitin are examined with the natural triglyceride via low angle X-ray diffraction. The 1,3/2 (all-trans) and 1,2/3 (cis-trans) analogs give long spacing dimensions some 23 Å greater than found for the β-2 form of the natural compound, consistent with the long spacing observed for a β-3 form. The 1,2,3/0 (all-cis) analog gives a long spacing near that of the a-form of the triglyceride. Reflection electron diffraction measurements on the 1,3/2 and 1,2/3 analogs reveal a chain tilt near 60° for both and untilted chains for 1,2,3/0. A more accurate tilt determination from X-ray long spacings of the homologous series of 1,3/2 pseudotrilaurin to 1,3/2 pseudo-tripalmitin confirm the 67° tilt expected for the β-3 form. Therefore, given the same T,, methylene subcell, the molecular packing is very close to natural triglycerides. The subtle influences of the cyclopentane ring are overcome for 1,3/2 analogs based on stearic and arachidic acids. This emphasizes the utility of these structural analogs for ab initio crystal structure determinations of glycerol containing lipids.

Structure Calculations

A rare-earth-containing compound, ytterbium aluminium antimonide, Yb3AlSb3 (Ca3AlAs3-type structure), has been successfully synthesized within the Yb–Al–Sb system through flux methods. According to the Zintl formalism, this structure is nominally made up of (Yb2+)3[(Al1−)(1b – Sb2−)2(2b – Sb1−)], where 1b and 2b indicate 1-bonded and 2-bonded, respectively, and Al is treated as part of the covalent anionic network. The crystal structure features infinite corner-sharing AlSb4 tetrahedra, [AlSb2Sb2/2]6−, with Yb2+ cations residing between the tetrahedra to provide charge balance. Herein, the synthetic conditions, the crystal structure determined from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data, and electronic structure calculations are reported.

Rare Earth Additions

ABSTRACTRare-earth elements including Y, Er and Sc were added to AlTi3 for stabilizing the Ll2 ordered crystal structure, as predicted by the AB3 structure map. The crystal structure and phase composition in the AlTi3 alloys were studied by electron microprobe analysis, X-ray diffraction and TEM. The solubility limit of the rare-earth elements were determined and correlated with the atomic size factor. The results obtained so far indicate that rare-earth additions are unable to change the crystal structure of AlTi3 from DO19 to Ll2. The inability to stabilize the Ll2 structure demonstrates the need to characterize the structure map domains with a further period-dependent parameter.

The Impact

At the dawn of crystal structure analysis, the close personal contact between researchers in Russia and Germany, well documented in the “Zeitschrift für Krystallographie und Mineralogie”, contributed significantly to the evolution of our present knowledge of the crystalline state. The impact of the Russian crystallographer E. S. Fedorov upon German scientists such as A. Schoenflies and P. Groth and the effect of these contacts for Fedorov are highlighted hundred years after the death of the latter. A creative exchange of ideas paved the way for the analysis of crystal structures with the aid of X-ray diffraction.

Phenylalanine Methyl Ester

Dissymmetry of the photoproduct was induced by using a chiral substituent, (S)-methylphenylalanine, in the title compound {N-4-(2,4,6-triisopropylbenzoyl)benzoyl]-(S)-phenylalanine methyl ester (I)}. On irradiation with light from a 250 W ultra-high-pressure Hg lamp for 7 h through a long-pass filter, the photoreaction in a crystal was 100% complete without the loss of crystallinity. The crystal structures (I), before, and (II) {N-[4-(7-hydroxy-3,5-diisopropyl-8,8-dimethylbicyclo[4.2.0]octa-1,3,5-trien-7-yl)benzoyl]-(S)-phenylalanine methyl ester}, after photocyclization, have been determined by X-ray diffraction. For comparison, a crystal structure analysis has also been carried out for the photoproduct (III) of the 3′-COOMe derivative after recrystallization {methyl 3-(7-hydroxy-3,5-diisopropyl-8,8-dimethylbicyclo[4.2.0]octa-1,3,5-trien-7-yl)benzoate}. The dihedral angle between the central carbonyl plane and the triisopropylphenyl ring deviates from 90° by 10 (1)° in (I), which makes an imbalance in the intramolecular O(carbonyl)...H(methine) distances of the isopropyl groups at positions 2 and 6. The crystal structure of (II) indicates that the nearer methine H was predominantly abstracted by the carbonyl O atom in the reaction. The absolute configuration around the asymmetric C atom in the cyclobutenol ring of the product is S.

Reaction of the doubly deprotonated pyridine 2,6-dicarboxamido ligand (1) with (PCy3)2Cl2 Ru=CHPh (3a) in THF gave a mixture of (lig)(PCy3)Ru=CHPh isomers (4). The pentane soluble N,N,O-4 isomer was isolated by extraction and characterized by X-ray diffraction. The O,N, O-4 isomer was identified in the residue. Single crystals of the closely related complex (lig)(NHC) Ru=CHPh, O,N,O-5, were obtained from the reaction of 1 with (NHC)(PCy3)Cl2Ru=CHPh (3b) and used for the X-ray crystal structure analysis of the system
