A series of rare earth 3-(4′-methylbenzoyl)propanoate (mbp–) complexes [RE(mbp)3(H2O)] (RE = rare earth = Y, La, Ce, Nd, Ho, Er) have been prepared by either metathesis reactions between the corresponding rare earth chloride and Na(mbp) or protolysis of rare earth acetates by the free acid. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies of [RE(mbp)3(H2O)] (RE = Ce, Nd) and [Ce(mbp)3(dmso)] reveal a 1D carboxylate-bridged polymeric structure in the solid state, featuring 9-coordinate rare earth ions. X-ray powder diffraction patterns of the bulk materials indicates that all of the [RE(mbp)3(H2O)] complexes except RE = La are isomorphous. Hence, there is no structural change from the complex with RE = Ce to that with RE = Er despite the lanthanoid contraction. The 1H NMR spectra of the RE = Ho or Er complexes in (CD3)2SO show large paramagnetic shifts and broadening of the CH2 resonances, indicating the retention of substantial carboxylate coordination in solution.

Rare earth ions (Tb3+, Eu3+) doped CaWO4 microstructures were synthesized by a facile hydrothermal route without using any templates and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and photoluminescence (PL) spectrum. The results indicate that the asprepared samples are well crystallized with scheelite structure of CaWO4, and the average diameter of the microstructures is 2∼4 μm. The morphology of CaWO4:Eu3+ microstructures can be controllably changed from microspheres to microflowers through altering the doping concentration of Eu3+ from 3% to 35%, and the microflowers are constructed by a number of CaWO4:Eu3+ nanoflakes. Under the excitation of UV light, the emission spectrum of CaWO4:Eu3+ is composed of the characteristics emission of Eu3+ 5D0-7FJ (J = 1, 2, 3, 4) transitions, and that of CaWO4:Tb3+ is composed of Tb3+ 5D4-7FJ (J = 6, 5, 4, 3) transitions. Both of the optimal doping concentrations of Tb3+ and Eu3+ in CaWO4 microstructures are about 5%.

SummaryLyndochite from Tura dukas, 35 miles north of Nanyuki, Kenya, agrees closely with the type material from Canada in its chemical analysis, in the distribution of the rare earths, and in X-ray diffraction data for powder after heat treatment. The mineral is compared and contrasted with aeschynite. Uranium-poor euxenite is intimately associated with lyndochite at the type locality.Since its discovery over thirty-five years ago, lyndochite has remained unrecorded outside its type locality of Lyndoch Township in Ontario, Canada. Its distinctive chemical composition sets it apart from almost all other Ti-rich metamiet niobates and, despite the many analyses that have been made on rare-earth niobate-tantalates, specimens that could have been regarded as similar to or approximating to lyndochite have rarely been mentioned. Its unusual characteristics include high ThO2 (about 10%) and appreciable rare-earth oxides (about 20%) with a lanthanon assemblage showing a peak concentration of Nd (and Ce), rather than any of the heavy lanthanons. The proportions of TiO2 (about 20%) and (Nb,Ta)2O5 (about 40%) are comparable to those in numerous niobate-tantalates, but are only associated with the percentages of ThO2 and Re2O3 mentioned above in some members of the aesehynite-priorite series. The lyndochite now described is chemically very close indeed to the Canadian lyndochite, and both specimens give closely similar X-ray diffraction patterns (after suitable heat treatment) which are distinct from those of any other metamict mineral.

2,3-bis(2-pyridyl)-5,6-dihydropyrazine and a protonated phenanthroline (Phen) have been synthesized and the structure of protonated Phen is established by X-ray diffraction single crystal structure analysis. The coordination reactions of Phen, 2,2'- bipyridine and 2,3-bis(2-pyridyl)-5,6-dihydropyrazine with rare earth ions in low pH have been studied. The results show that 2,3-bis(2-pyridyl)-5,6-dihydropyrazine is hydrolyzed to be 2,2’-pyridil and protonated ethylenediamine. Meanwhile, Phen combines with proton, which results that nitrogen atoms can not coordinate with rare earth ions. The molecular formula of protonated Phen is C12H8N2HCl·H2O. It crystallizes in the triclinic space group P -1 (2), with a = 7.1212(14) Å, b = 7.2786(15) Å, c = 20.817(4) Å, α = 90.00º, β = 96.69(3) º, γ = 90.00 º, V = 1071.65(379) Å3, Z = 4.

ABSTRACTThe lithium ion conducting properties of materials of composition La0.58Li0.26TiO3, Nd0.58Li0.26TiO3, La0.67Li0.25Ti0.75Al0.25O3 and La0.29Li0.12NbO3 have been compared in relation with their microstructure. All the oxides have powder X-ray diffraction patterns characteristic of a perovskite-related structure with lattice parameters a∼√2ap, b∼√2ap, c∼2ap (p refers to cubic perovskite). However, some important differences are observed in their microstructure by SAED and HRTEM. Ordering between vacancies, Li+ and La3+ or Nd3+ and twinning of the NbO6 or TiO6 octahedra tilting system are shown in La0.29Li0.12NbO3 and Nd0.58Li0.26TiO3, which are the materials having a lower ionic conductivity. The La0.58Li0.26TiO3 and La0.67Li0.25Ti0.75Al0.25O3 oxides do not show ordering between cations.

The rare-earth tetraborides are exceptional in that the rare-earth ions are topologically equivalent to the frustrated Shastry-Sutherland lattice. In this paper, we report the growth of large single crystals of RB 4 (where R = Nd, Gd → Tm, and Y) by the floating-zone method, using a high-power xenon arc-lamp furnace. The crystal boules have been characterized and tested for their quality using X-ray diffraction techniques and temperature- and field-dependent magnetization and AC resistivity measurements.

Rare-earth-doped compounds (Sr1.85Ln0.15)FeMoO6(Ln=Sr, La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm and Eu) have been prepared by solid-state reaction. Crystal structure and magnetic properties were investigated by means of X-ray diffraction and magnetic measurements. All the samples are single phase and belong to the I4/m space group. Due to the competing contributions of electron doping and steric effects, the unit-cell volume of the doped compounds changes slightly and does not vary systematically with the ionic radius of the rare-earth ions. The temperature dependence of the magnetization of (Sr1.85Ln0.15)FeMoO6indicates that the Curie temperature of the doped compounds has increased upon doping, except for the Eu-doped compound.

Rare earth (RE) complexes of 3-benzoylpropanoate (bp), [RE(bp)3(H2O)n] (RE=La, n=2; RE=Y, Ce, Pr, Nd, Yb, n=1) and 3-phenylpropanoate (pp), [RE(pp)3] (RE=Y, La, Ce, Nd, Yb), have been prepared by metathesis reactions between the corresponding rare earth chloride and the appropriate sodium carboxylate. Analysis by single-crystal X-ray diffraction finds that both RE bp and pp complexes favour formation of carboxylate-bridged 1-D coordination polymers in the solid state. Here, the former favours heteroleptic 9 or 10-coordinate complexes (splitting between Ce and La) with the carbonyl remaining uncoordinated but participating as a hydrogen bond acceptor with water in the coordination sphere. Lack of bp carbonyl coordination leaves this group available for surface interactions during corrosion inhibition and complex solubilization. The latter pp derivatives form eight-coordinate complexes for Y and Yb and are the first examples of homoleptic RE pp complexes to be reported.
