The structure of a series of lanthanide iron cobalt perovskite oxides, R(Fe0.5Co0.5)O3 (R = Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, and Gd), have been investigated. The space group of these compounds was confirmed to be orthorhombic Pnma (No. 62), Z = 4. From Pr to Gd, the lattice parameter a varies from 5.466 35(13) Å to 5.507 10(13) Å, b from 7.7018(2) to 7.561 75(13) Å, c from 5.443 38(10) to 5.292 00(8) Å, and unit-cell volume V from 229.170(9) Å3 to 220.376(9) Å3, respectively. While the trend of V follows the trend of the lanthanide contraction, the lattice parameter “a” increases as the ionic radius r(R3+) decreases. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy confirm that Fe and Co are disordered over the octahedral sites. The structure distortion of these compounds is evidenced in the tilt angles θ, ϕ, and ω, which represent rotations of an octahedron about the pseudocubic perovskite [110]p, [001]p, and [111]p axes. All three tilt angles increase across the lanthanide series (for R = Pr to R = Gd: θ increases from 12.3° to 15.2°, ϕ from 7.5° to 15.8°, and ω from 14.4° to 21.7°), indicating a greater octahedral distortion as r(R3+) decreases. The bond valence sum for the sixfold (Fe/Co) site and the eightfold R site of R(Fe0.5Co0.5)O3 reveal no significant bond strain. Density Functional Theory calculations for Pr(Fe0.5Co0.5)O3 support the disorder of Fe and Co and suggest that this compound to be a narrow band gap semiconductor. XRD patterns of the R(Fe0.5Co0.5)O3 samples were submitted to the Powder Diffraction File.

The equation of state (EOS) of HfC and nanosized TiC at high pressure has been studied by means of synchrotron radiation X-ray diffraction (XRD) in a diamond anvil cell (DAC) at ambient temperature, and density functional theory (DFT) calculations. XRD analysis showed that the cubic structure of HfC and nanosized TiC maintained to the maximum pressures. The XRD data yield a bulk modulus [Formula: see text] GPa with [Formula: see text] of HfC. In addition, the bulk modulus of nanosized TiC derived from XRD data is [Formula: see text] GPa with [Formula: see text].

The silatrane hydride compound, [N(CH2CH2O)3]SiH, reacts with CO2 in the presence of the [tris(2-pyridylthio)methyl]zinc hydride complex, [Tptm]ZnH, to afford the silyl formate and methoxide derivatives, [N(CH2CH2O)3]SiO2CH and [N(CH2CH2O)3]SiOCH3. The molecular structure of [N(CH2CH2O)3]SiO2CH has been determined by X-ray diffraction, thereby demonstrating that the formate ligand adopts a distal conformation in which the uncoordinated oxygen atom resides with a trans-like disposition relative to silicon. Density functional theory calculations indicate that the atrane motif of [N(CH2CH2O)3]SiO2CH is flexible, such that the energy of the molecule changes relatively little as the Si···N distance varies over the range 2.0–3.0 Å.

Internal Cavities

Here we describe the synthesis of a novel N,N’-bis(2,1,3-benzothiadiazol-4-yl)-1-phenylphosphanediamine (H2L) and its zinc (II) and copper (I) coordination compounds [Zn2L2]·nC7H8 (1·nC7H8), [Zn2(H2L)2Cl4]·nC7H8 (2·nC7H8), and [Cu(H2L)Cl]n·nTHF (3·THF). According to single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, H2L ligand and its deprotonated species exhibit different coordination modes. An interesting isomerism is observed for the complexes [Zn2(H2L)2Cl4] (2a and 2b) that differ by the arrangement of H2L. Both complexes possess internal cavities capable of incorporating toluene molecules. Upon toluene release, the geometry of 2b changes substantially, while that of 2a changes slightly. Due to the diverse structures, the compounds 1–3 reveal different photophysical properties. These results are discussed based on previously reported studies and DFT (density functional theory) calculations.
