Crystal structure of lutetium aluminate (LUAM), Lu4Al2O9.

ABSTRACT: The crystal structure of the title compound containing lutetium, the last element in the lanthanide series, was determined using a single crystal prepared by heating a pressed pellet of a 2:1 molar ratio mixture of Lu2O3 and Al2O3 powders in an Ar atmosphere at 2173?K for 4?h. Lu4Al2O9 is isostructural with Eu4Al2O9 and composed of Al2O7 di-tetra-hedra and Lu-centered six- and sevenfold oxygen polyhedra. The unit-cell volume, 787.3?(3)?Å3, is the smallest among the volumes of the rare-earth (RE) aluminates, RE 4Al2O9. The crystal studied was refined as a two-component pseudo-merohedric twin.

Understanding surface structure and chemistry of single crystal lanthanum aluminate.

Project description:The surface crystallography and chemistry of a LaAlO3 single crystal, a material mainly used as a substrate to deposit technologically important thin films (e.g. for superconducting and magnetic devices), was analysed using surface X-ray diffraction and low energy ion scattering spectroscopy. The surface was determined to be terminated by Al-O species, and was significantly different from the idealised bulk structure. Termination reversal was not observed at higher temperature (600 °C) and chamber pressure of 10-10 Torr, but rather an increased Al-O occupancy occurred, which was accompanied by a larger outwards relaxation of Al from the bulk positions. Changing the oxygen pressure to 10-6 Torr enriched the Al site occupancy fraction at the outermost surface from 0.245(10) to 0.325(9). In contrast the LaO, which is located at the next sub-surface atomic layer, showed no chemical enrichment and the structural relaxation was lower than for the top AlO2 layer. Knowledge of the surface structure will aid the understanding of how and which type of interface will be formed when LaAlO3 is used as a substrate as a function of temperature and pressure, and so lead to improved design of device structures.

Crystal structure of bis-(propane-1,3-diaminium) hexa-fluorido-aluminate di-aqua-tetra-fluorido-aluminate tetra-hydrate.

Project description:The title compound, (C3H12N2)2[AlF6][AlF4(H2O)2]·4H2O, was obtained by a solvothermal method in ethanol as solvent and with aluminium hydroxide, HF and 1,3-di-amino-propane as educts. The asymmetric unit contains a quarter each of two crystallographically independent propane-1,3-di-ammonium dicat-ions, [AlF6](3-) and [AlF4(H2O)2](-) anions and four water mol-ecules. The cations, anions and three of the independent water mol-ecules are situated on special positions mm, while the fourth water mol-ecule is disordered about a mirror plane. In the crystal, inter-molecular N-H?F and O-H?F hydrogen bonds link the cations and anions into a three-dimensional framework with the voids filled by water mol-ecules, which generate O-H?O hydrogen bonds and further consolidate the packing.

Crystal structure of tri-benzyl-bis-(tetra-hydro-furan-κO)lutetium(III).

Project description:In the title compound, [Lu(C7H7)3(C4H8O)2] (1), the Lu ion is coordinated by three benzyl and two tetra-hydro-furan ligands. Two of the benzyl groups are bonded in a classical η1-fashion through the methyl-ene via the ipso-carbon atom of the benzyl ligand in addition to bonding through the methyl-ene C atom, resulting in a modified trigonal-bipyramidal coordination geometry about the Lu center.

Crystal structure of bis-(propane-1,3-di-ammonium) hexa-fluorido-aluminate fluoride trihydrate.

Project description:The title compound, (C3H10N2)2[AlF6]F·3H2O, was obtained using the solvothermal method with aluminium hydroxide, HF and propane-1,3-di-amine as precursors in ethanol as solvent. The structure consists of isolated [AlF6](3-) octa-hedra, diprotonated propane-1,3-di-amine cations [(H2dap)(2+)], free fluoride ions and water mol-ecules of solvation. The Al-F bond lengths in the octa-hedral [AlF6](3-) anions range from 1.7690 (19) to 1.8130 (19) Å, with an average value of 1.794 Å. Each [AlF6](3-) anion is surrounded by three water mol-ecules and by six diprotonated amine cations. The 'free' fluoride ion is hydrogen bonded to four H atoms belonging to four dications and has a distorted tetra-hedral geometry. The three water mol-ecules are connected by hydrogen bonds, forming trimers that connect the AlF6 octa-hedra and dications into a three-dimensional framework.

Lutetium ultraphosphate.

Project description:The structure of the title compound, LuP(5)O(14), comprises puckered eight-membered PO(4) rings linked by the lutetium cations in a complex way, forming a three-dimensional framework. Each eight-membered phosphate ring shares a bridging tetra-hedron with each of four adjacent tetra-hedra, to form layers of PO(4) tetra-hedra. These layers are c/2 in thickness and parallel to the ab plane. Each Lu ion is contained in one such layer, forming bonds to six O atoms in that layer and also to one O atom belonging to a tetra-hedron in each of the layers lying above and below it. The LuO(8) polyhedra are isolated from one another, since they share no common atoms. The Lu ions lie on twofold axes (special position 4e) and the shortest Lu?Lu distance is 5.703?(1)?Å.

Effect of Structure and Composition of Non-Stoichiometry Magnesium Aluminate Spinel on Water Adsorption.

Project description:MgAl2O4 is used in humidity sensing and measurement, and as a catalyst or catalyst support in a wide variety of applications. For such applications, a detailed understanding of the surface properties and defect structure of the spinel, and, in particular, of the gas interactions at the spinel surface is essential. However, to the best of our knowledge, very limited experimental data regarding this subject is currently available. In this work, four spinel samples with an Al2O3 to MgO ratio (n) between 0.95 and 2.45 were synthesized and analyzed using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and water adsorption micro-calorimetry. The results showed that the spinel composition and its consequent defect structure do indeed have a distinct effect on the spinel-water vapor surface interactions. The adsorption behavior at the spinel-water interface showed changes that resulted from alterations in types and energetic diversity of adsorption sites, affecting both H2O uptake and overall energetics. Furthermore, changes in composition following appropriate thermal treatment were shown to have a major effect on the reducibility of the spinel which enabled increased water uptake at the surface. In addition to non-stoichiometry, the impact of intrinsic anti-site defects on the water-surface interaction was investigated. These defects were also shown to promote water uptake. Our results show that by composition modification and subsequent thermal treatments, the defect structure can be modified and controlled, allowing for the possibility of specifically designed spinels for water interactions.

Lithium-Aluminate-Catalyzed Hydrophosphination Applications.

Project description:Synthesized, isolated, and characterized by X-ray crystallography and NMR spectroscopic studies, lithium phosphidoaluminate iBu3 AlPPh2 Li(THF)3 has been tested as a catalyst for hydrophosphination of alkynes, alkenes, and carbodiimides. Based on the collective evidence of stoichiometric reactions, NMR monitoring studies, kinetic analysis, and DFT calculations, a mechanism involving deprotonation, alkyne insertion, and protonolysis is proposed for the [iBu3 AlHLi]2 aluminate catalyzed hydrophosphination of alkynes with diphenylphosphine. This study enhances further the development of transition-metal-free, atom-economical homogeneous catalysis using common sustainable main-group metals.

Lutetium(III) cyclo-tetra-phosphate.

Project description:Single crystals of the title compound, tetra-lutetium(III) tris-(cyclo-tetra-phosphate), Lu(4)(P(4)O(12))(3), were obtained by solid-state reaction. The cubic structure is isotypic with its Al(III) and Sc(III) analogues and is built up from four-membered (P(4)O(12))(4-) phosphate ring anions ( symmetry), isolated from each other and further linked through isolated LuO(6) octa-hedra (.3. symmetry) via corner sharing. Each LuO(6) octa-hedron is linked to six (P(4)O(12))(4-) rings, while each (P(4)O(12))(4-) ring is linked to eight LuO(6) octa-hedra.
