Herein, we report precise variation of Fe and Mn constituent in the sodium magnate layered cathodes with the compositions of Na0.8Fe0.4Mn0.5O2, Na0.8Fe0.5Mn0.4O2, Na0.8Fe0.6Mn0.3O2, Na0.8Fe0.6Mn0.4O2, Na0.8Fe0.7Mn0.4O2, Na0.9Fe0.6Mn0.3O2 in order to attain a high performing cathode. Based on this transition metal stoichiometry, an interesting sodium magnate combination of Na0.8Fe0.6Mn0.3O2, with O3-type crystal phase, possess R3m space group along with the superior electrochemical behavior is obtained. On charge-discharge capacities in the range of 2.0-3.8 V at 0.1 C, it shows the comparatively higher performance of the first and the second charge capacity of 115 and 180 mAhg-1 and discharge capacity of 184 and 181 mAhg-1, respectively. The best sample was then compared with the closely related Na0.8Fe0.6Mn0.4O2, Na0.9Fe0.6Mn0.3O2 combination in terms of valence ratio and influence of excess sodium for the structure robustness, stability along with purity. The best sample with the composition Na0.8Fe0.6Mn0.3O2 does not show detectable impure phase while Na0.8Fe0.6Mn0.4O2 and Na0.9Fe0.6Mn0.3O2 shows a tendency of P-type (Cmca space group) behavior with 30.8% and 32.8%, respectively. The enhancement of iron constituent increases not only the performances but also the stabilization of sodium vacancy ordering and substitution of Mn with a substantial reduction of Jahn-Teller distortion, mounting biphasic characteristics and high peak intensity of 41.5 °.

The crystal structures of the isotypic monoclinic fluorides Na2CuF4 (a = 326.7(1), b = 937.0(2), c = 561.2(1) pm, β = 92.49(1)°; V = 171.63 x10-30 m3) and Na2CrF4 (a = 334.8(1), b = 954.9(2), c = 566.5(3) pm, β = 92.85(3)°; V = 180.89 × 10-30 m3) have been redetermined by single crystal X-ray methods. The compounds are Jahn-Teller distorted variants of the orthorhombic Sr2PbO4type (space group Pbam) and crystallize with Z = 2 in space group P21/c, a subgroup of Pbam. They form a chain structure of edge-sharing octahedra which are strongly elongated. The following distances were obtained: Cu-F = 190.4/193.8/235,7(2) pm and Cr-F = 199.1/199.7/241.7(4) pm. The geometry is compared to that of the corresponding distorted rutile type difluorides; relations to further compounds are discussed.

AbstractThe crystal structure of the compound Na-CuCrF7 (orthorhombic, a = 710.0, b = 1033.8, c = 751.8 pm, Z = 4) was refined in space group Pmnb to Rg= 0.028 (1545 independent reflections). The Jahn-Teller distortion of the CuF6 -octahedra (Cu-F = 191.1/193.8/212.4 pm. mean 199.1 pm) reduces the symmetry compared to the body-centered orthorhombic weberite type, to which it is otherwise closely related. The CrF6 -octahedra. interconnecting parallel chains of CuF6 -octahedra, are nearly undistorted (mean Cr-F = 190.6 pm). Na2CuFeF7 exhibits a supercell with a different structure (monoclinic, a = 2468.7, b = 734.7, c = 1245.2 pm, β = 99.29°, Z = 16). It may be interpreted as a new intermediate type between orthorhombic and trigonal weberites. Preliminary results obtained from refinement in space group A2/n (Rg = 0.076) are given and discussed (mean values Cu-F = 199 pm, Fe - F = 192 pm).

Li-Substitution in P′2-Na0.67MnO2 mitigates the anisotropic change of Mn–O bonds and Na/vacancy ordering, and hence significantly promotes its cycling stability and rate capability as a cathode material for sodium-ion batteries.

The monoclinic weberites Na2CoFeF7 (a = 1262.2(10), b = 736.0(4), c = 2451.6(20) pm, β = 99.71(5)°) and a second modification of Na2CuFeF7 (a = 1244.4(2), b = 734.3(1), c = 2467.2(5) pm, β = 99.27(3)°), crystallize isotypically in space group C 2/c, Ζ = 16. The structure is an intermediate type between orthorhombic and trigonal weberites, characterized by pairs ofparallel chains of octahedra [MF4F2/2]3- (M = Co, Cu) which run in turn along [110] and [110]. The average distances are Fe-F = 192 pm in the [FeF63- octahedra of both compounds. Considerable splitting of distances occurs in the [CoF6- octahedra (av. Co-F = 201 pm), and by Jahn-Teller distortion even more in those of [CuFJ4- (av. Cu-F = 199 pm). One of the copper surroundings is (pseudo)tetragonally elongated (av. 209/194 pm), the other exhibits an unusual splitting into three long and three short bonds (av. 204/193 pm) in meridional positions. Some structural relations are discussed.

The copper(II) complex with citric acid (NH4)4 [Cu(C6H5O7)2] has been prepared, and its structure determined by X-ray diffraction, giving a residual R 0.035 for 1208 observed reflections. Crystals are monoclinic, space group P21/c with Z 2 in a cell of dimensions a 8.755(3), b 13.185(4), c 9.364(2)Ǻ, β 113.73(2)°. The complex is a centrosymmetric six-coordinate monomer which is isomorphous with ammonium zinc(II) citrate. However, the Cu-O(hydroxyl) bonds [2.341(3)Ǻ] show Jahn-Teller distortion relative to the Cu-O(carboxyl) bonds [1.969(3) and 1.977(3)Ǻ].

The crystal structures of the isomorphous complexes [M(pyridine 1-oxide)6] (ClO4)2 M = Cu (1), Co (2) and Fe (3), have been determined from X-ray diffractometer data collected at 293 K. The complexes crystallize in the rhombohedral space group R3 with Z = 1; cell constants for (1): a 9.605(1)Ǻ, α 81.10(1)°; for (2): a 9.619(1)Ǻ, α 81.19(1)°; for (3): a 9.640(1)Ǻ, α 81.06(1)°. The structures were solved by Fourier techniques and refined by block-diagonal least squares to convergence at R, R': (1) 0.037, 0.039 for 1009 reflections; (2) 0.030, 0.038 for 812 reflections; (3) 0.032, 0.041 for 780 reflections with I ≥ 3σ(I). The cations have exact S6 symmetry with the MO6 moiety having almost exact Oh symmetry, which implies for (1) a lack of a static Jahn-Teller distortion. The M-O distances increase (1) 2.076(2), (2) 2.090(1), (3) 2.112(2)Ǻ in the order expected. The geometries of the pyridine 1-oxide ligand and the perchlorate ion are consistent over the three determinations and are normal.

We report here a combination of transition metal-based ternary sodium magnate layered cathodes with the compositions of Na0.8Fe0.4Mn0.3Co0.2O2, Na0.8Fe0.4Mn0.3Ni0.2O2, Na0.8Fe0.4Mn0.3V0.2O2, Na0.8Fe0.4Mn0.3Ti0.2O2, in order to elucidate the precise metal contents for the superb performing positive electrode. Based on their stoichiometry, the transition metal combination of Na0.8Fe0.4Mn0.3Co0.2O2, O3-type crystal structure with R3m space group possess superior electrochemical behavior under the test of sodium-ion battery. When the charge-discharge capacities in the range of 2.0-4.2 V at 0.1 C are measured, it shows the comparatively higher performance of the first and second charge capacities of 162 mAhg-1, 170 mAhg-1 and discharge capacities of 157 mAhg-1, 154 mAhg-1, respectively. Moreover, it was remarkable to observe that the increasing/decreasing Co constituent substantially affects the performance and stability, but using the ternary combination in cathodes, a substantial reduction of Jahn-Teller distortion and increased biphasic characteristics were observed. The as-synthesized samples were characterized by FE-SEM, XRD, charge-discharge curve, EIS and cyclic voltammograms.

We report a theoretical investigation and elucidation of the x-ray absorption spectra of neutral benzene and of the benzene cation. The generation of the cation by multiphoton ultraviolet (UV) ionization as well as the measurement of<br>the carbon K-edge spectra of both species using a table-top high-harmonic generation (HHG) source are described in the companion experimental paper [M. Epshtein et al., J. Phys.<br>Chem. A., submitted. Available on ChemRxiv]. We show that the 1sC -> pi transition serves as a sensitive signature of the transient cation formation, as it occurs outside of the spectral window of the parent neutral species. Moreover, the presence<br>of the unpaired (spectator) electron in the pi-subshell of the cation and the high symmetry of the system result in significant differences relative to neutral benzene in the spectral features associated with the 1sC ->pi* transitions. High-level calculations using equation-of-motion coupled-cluster theory provide the interpretation of the experimental spectra and insight into the electronic structure of benzene and its cation.<br>The prominent split structure of the 1sC -> pi* band of the cation is attributed to the interplay between the coupling of the core -> pi* excitation with the unpaired electron<br>in the pi-subshell and the Jahn-Teller distortion. The calculations attribute most of<br>the splitting (~1-1.2 eV) to the spin coupling, which is visible already at the Franck-Condon structure, and estimate the additional splitting due to structural relaxation to<br>be around ~0.1-0.2 eV. These results suggest that x-ray absorption with increased resolution might be able to disentangle electronic and structural aspects of the Jahn-Teller<br>effect in benzene cation.<br>

Using semiempirical CNDO-UHF method the adiabatic potential surface of 2[Cu(OH)6]4- complexes is investigated. The values of vibration and vibronic constants for Eg - (a1g + eg) vibronic interaction attain extremal values for the optimal O-H distance. The Jahn-Teller distortion decreases with increasing O-H distance. The discrepancy between experimentally observed elongated bipyramid of [Cu(OH)6]4- in Ba2[Cu(OH)6] and the compressed one obtained by quantum-chemical calculation is explainable by hydrogen bonding of the axial hydroxyl group.
