Heteroanionic hydrides offer great possibilities in the design of functional materials. For ternary rare earth hydride oxide REHO, several modifications were reported with indications for a significant phase width with respect to H and O of the cubic representatives. We obtained DyHO and ErHO as well as the thus far elusive LuHO from solid-state reactions of RE2O3 and REH3 or LuH3 with CaO and investigated their crystal structures by neutron and X-ray powder diffraction. While DyHO, ErHO, and LuHO adopted the cubic anion-ordered half-Heusler LiAlSi structure type (F4¯3m, a(DyHO) = 5.30945(10) Å, a(ErHO) = 5.24615(7) Å, a(LuHO) = 5.171591(13) Å), LuHO additionally formed the orthorhombic anti-LiMgN structure type (Pnma; LuHO: a = 7.3493(7) Å, b = 3.6747(4) Å, c = 5.1985(3) Å; LuDO: a = 7.3116(16) Å, b = 3.6492(8) Å, c = 5.2021(7) Å). A comparison of the cubic compounds’ lattice parameters enabled a significant distinction between REHO and REH1+2xO1−x (x < 0 or x > 0). Furthermore, a computational chemistry study revealed the formation of REHO compounds of the smallest rare earth elements to be disfavored in comparison to the sesquioxides, which is why they may only be obtained by mild synthesis conditions.

Abstract The compound Co6O2 [TeO4(CoAsO5)2] has been prepared by solid state reactions. Single crystal X -ray techniques led to orthorhombic symmetry, space group D 182h-Cmca, a = 6.020(1), b = 23.763(5), c = 8.841(2) Å , Z = 4. The new structure type contains the hitherto unknown cobaltoarsenate group CoAsO7, oxidic oxygen connected exclusively to cobalt, and TeO6 octahedra.

One known and nine new quaternary aluminides in the Al-rich region of R–T–Ag–Al (R = Y, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, and Gd, T = V, Nb, Ta, Cr, and Mo) systems were synthesized by arc melting and their crystal structures were studied by X-ray powder diffraction. The crystal structures of the compounds R3T(Ag,Al)20Al12 (R = Ce, Pr, Nd, and Sm, T = V, Nb, Ta, Cr, and Mo) and R3TAgx(Ag,Al)20Al12 (R = Y and Gd, T = Ta) belong to new structure types: Ce3Ta (Ag,Al)20Al12 (Pearson symbol сP36, space group Pm-3m, a = 8.6675(2) Å) and Gd3TaAgx(Ag,Al)20Al12 (сP4912.86, Pm-3m, a = 8.6158(5) Å), respectively. Within the rows of isotypic compounds the unit-cell parameter increases with increasing metallic radius of the rare-earth or d-element atom. The structure type Ce3Ta (Ag,Al)20Al12 (Ce3TaAg7.97Al24.03) is a partly ordered quaternary substitution derivative of the structure type BaHg11, whereas Gd3TaAgx(Ag,Al)20Al12 (Gd3TaAg8.89Al23.25) is a distorted fill-in quaternary substitution variant of the same prototype. The latter can also be described as a derivative of the structure type Y3TaNi6+xAl26.

Single crystals of Ba2Nb6Te2O21 (I) and Ba2Ta6Te2O21 (II) have been prepared by solid state reactions in air. X-ray investigations led to monoclinic symmetry, space group C32h -C2/m, (I): a = 16.699(3), b = 5.671(2), c = 9.611(2) Å, β = 96.92(2), (II): a = 16.655(8), b = 5.667(2), c = 9.576(4) Å, β = 96.64(7), Z = 2. Nb5+ or Ta5+ show octahedral and Te4+ a one sided triangular coordination by O2- . The position and distance of the lone pair on Te4+ have been estimated by calculations of the Coulomb terms of the lattice energy. The polyhedron around Ba2+ may be described by a triply capped BaO8 cube. The crystal structures are dominated by a 3∞ [Nb6O21]12- network with incorporated Ba2+ and Te4+ ions.

<p>Thermal analyses, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and HR-XRD (High Resolution XRD) were used to identify thermal behavior products in a family of solid-state reactions involving rare earth (REE) reagents. REE where sorted in light and heavy groups. The general reactions under study were: REE<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> + Fe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> + As<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> → 2REEFeO<sub>3</sub> +<br />As<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>↑ and 2REE(OH)<sub>3</sub> + Fe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> + As<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> → 2REEFeO<sub>3</sub> + As<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>↑ + 3H<sub>2</sub>O↑, REE= La, Ce, Nd, Sm, Gd, Dy, Ho, Er, and Yb. Based on the experimental results, it is possible to predict the different compounds of REE products in a series of reactions analyzing only three of the reactions, two for light REE and one for heavy REE.</p>

Rare earth activated AlPO4 phosphors were synthesized by solid-state reactions and the completion of the synthesis was confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern. Under near-ultraviolet (nUV) light, the Eu3+ emission in AlPO4 consists of the transitions from 5D0 to 7FJ shows orange/red region and the AlPO4 :Dy3+ phosphor shows an efficient blue and yellow band emissions, which originates from the 4F9/26H15/2 and 4F9/26H13/2 transitions of Dy3+ ion. The excitation spectra of the phosphors are extending from 300 to 400 nm, which are characteristics of nUV excited LED. The effect of the Eu3+ and Dy3+ concentration on the luminescence properties of AlPO4 phosphors is also studied.

Solid state reactions in sputter-deposited Nb/Al multilayer thin films have been studied by transmission and analytical electron microscopy (TEM/AEM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The Nb/Al multilayer thin films for TEM studies were sputter-deposited on (1102)sapphire substrates. The periodicity of the films is in the range 10-500 nm. The overall composition of the films are 1/3, 2/1, and 3/1 Nb/Al, corresponding to the stoichiometric composition of the three intermetallic phases in this system.Figure 1 is a TEM micrograph of an as-deposited film with periodicity A = dA1 + dNb = 72 nm, where d's are layer thicknesses. The polycrystalline nature of the Al and Nb layers with their columnar grain structure is evident in the figure. Both Nb and Al layers exhibit crystallographic texture, with the electron diffraction pattern for this film showing stronger diffraction spots in the direction normal to the multilayer. The X-ray diffraction patterns of all films are dominated by the Al(l 11) and Nb(l 10) peaks and show a merging of these two peaks with decreasing periodicity.

Reaction of [WI2(CO)3(NCMe)2] with two equivalents of 1-phenyl-1-propyne (MeC2Ph) in CH2Cl2, and in the absence of light, gave the bis(1-phenyl-1-propyne) complex [WI2(CO)(NCMe)(η2-MeC2Ph)2] (1) in 77% yield. Treatment of equimolar quantities of 1 and NCR (R = Et, i-Pr, t-Bu, Ph) in CH2Cl2 afforded the nitrile-exchanged products, [WI2(CO)(NCR)(η2-MeC2Ph)2] (2-5) (R = Et (2), i-Pr (3), t-Bu (4), Ph (5)). Complexes 1, 2, and 5 were structurally characterized by X-ray crystallography. All three structures have the same pseudo-octahedral geometry, with the equatorial sites being occupied by cis and parallel alkyne groups, which are trans to the cis-iodo groups. The trans carbon monoxide and acetonitrile ligands occupy the axial sites. In structures 1 and 2, the methyl and phenyl substituents of the 1-phenyl-1-propyne ligands are cis to each other, whereas for the bulkier NCPh complex (5), the methyl and phenyl groups are trans to one another. This is the first time that this arrangement has been observed in the solid state in bis(alkyne) complexes of this type.Key words: bis(1-phenyl-1-propyne), carbonyl, nitrile, diiodo, tungsten(II), crystal structures.

ABSTRACTDuring the past decades the solid state chemistry of tellurium oxides has been enriched by a series of quaternary metallates. Interest attaches not only to the chemical and physical properties of these compounds, but also to their structure, which have been studied by modern methods. The partial similarity of earth alkaline metals and lead in solid state chemistry and their relationships in oxides opens a wide field of investigations. Eight new compounds in the systems Ba-M-Te-O (M= Nb, Ta) and Pb-M-Te-O (M = Mn, Ni, Cu, Zn) were prepared and structurally characterized: Ba2Nb2TeO10, Ba2M6Te2O21 (M = Nb, Ta) and the lead compounds PbMnTeO3, Pb3Ni4.5Te2.5O15, PbCu3TeO7, PbZn4SiTeO10 and the mixed compound PbMn2Ni6Te3O18. The structures of all compounds are based on frameworks of edge and corner sharing oxygen octahedra of the transition metal and the tellurium. Various different channel structures were observed and distinguished. The compounds were prepared by heating from mixtures of the oxides, and the single crystals were grown by flux method or solid state reactions on air. The synthesis conditions were modified to obtained microcrystalline material for purification and structural characterizations, which were carried out using a variety of tools including powder diffraction data and refinements of X-ray data. Relationships between lead transition metal tellurium oxides and the earth alkaline transition metals tellurium oxides are compared.
