Mg(H2O)2[TeO2(OH)4]: a polytypic structure with a two-mode disordered stacking arrangement

ABSTRACT: Crystals of the polytypic Mg(H2O)2[TeO2(OH)4] feature one-dimensional diffuse scattering owing to correlated disorder. Crystals of the hydrous magnesium orthotellurate(VI) Mg(H2O)2[TeO2(OH)4] were grown by slow diffusion of an aqueous MgCl2 solution into a KOH/Te(OH)6 solution immobilized in gelatin. The crystal structure is built of sheets of nearly regular corner-sharing [MgO6] and [TeO6] octahedra. Half of the bridging O atoms are connected to disordered H atoms, which are located in rhomboidal voids (long and short diameters of ∼5.0 and ∼2.5 Å, respectively) of these layers. Moreover, the TeVI atom connects to two OH− ions and the MgII atom to two H2O molecules. The OH− ions and H2O molecules connect adjacent layers forming a disordered hydrogen-bonding network. In a given layer, an adjacent layer may be positioned in four ways, which can be characterized by one of two origin shifts and one of two orientations with respect to [100]. The crystals feature a disordered stacking arrangement, leading to rods of diffuse scattering in the diffraction pattern. The polytypism is explained by application of the order–disorder (OD) theory. Different refinement models are compared and the diffuse scattering is evaluated with structure factor calculations. The correlation coefficient of subsequent origin shifts is ∼ −0.33, whereas the orientation of the layers is essentially random. Determining the latter is particularly difficult owing to a small contribution to the diffraction pattern and virtually indistinguishable diffraction patterns for pairs of correlations with the same absolute value. On longer standing in a glass vial, an ordered polytype forms.

Crystal structure of [Y6(?6-O)(?3-OH)8(H2O)24]I8·8H2O.

Project description:The crystal structure of the title compound {systematic name: octa-?3-hydroxido-?6-oxido-hexa-kis-[tetra-aqua-yttrium(III)] octa-iodide octa-hydrate}, is characterized by the presence of the centrosymmetric mol-ecular entity [Y6(?6-O)(?3-OH)8(H2O)24](8+), in which the six Y(3+) cations are arranged octa-hedrally around a ?6-O atom at the centre of the cationic complex. Each of the eight faces of the Y6 octa-hedron is capped by an ?3-OH group in the form of a distorted cube. In the hexa-nuclear entity, the Y(3+) cations are coordinated by the central ?6-O atom, the O atoms of four ?3-OH and of four water mol-ecules. The resulting coordination sphere of the metal ions is a capped square-anti-prism. The crystal packing is quite similar to that of the ortho-rhom-bic [Ln 6(?6-O)(?3-OH)8(H2O)24]I8·8H2O structures with Ln = La-Nd, Eu-Tb, Dy, except that the title compound exhibits a slight monoclinic distortion. The proximity of the cationic complexes and the lattice water mol-ecules leads to the formation of a three-dimensional hydrogen-bonded network of medium strength.

Bottleneck Effect Explained by Le Bail Refinements: Structure Transformation of Mg-CUK-1 by Confining H2O Molecules.

Project description:The structure transformation of Mg-CUK-1 due to the confinement of H2O molecules was investigated. Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) patterns were collected at different H2O loadings and the cell parameters of the H2O-loaded Mg-CUK-1 material were determined by the Le Bail strategy refinements. A bottleneck effect was observed when one hydrogen-bonded H2O molecule per unit cell (18% relative humidity (RH)) was confined within Mg-CUK-1, confirming the increase in the CO2 capture for Mg-CUK-1.

CO2/O2 Exchange in Magnesium-Water Clusters Mg+(H2O) n.

Project description:Hydrated singly charged metal ions doped with carbon dioxide, Mg2+(CO2)-(H2O) n, in the gas phase are valuable model systems for the electrochemical activation of CO2. Here, we study these systems by Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (FT-ICR) mass spectrometry combined with ab initio calculations. We show that the exchange reaction of CO2 with O2 proceeds fast with bare Mg+(CO2), with a rate coefficient kabs?=?1.2 × 10-10?cm3?s-1, while hydrated species exhibit a lower rate in the range of kabs = (1.2-2.4) × 10-11?cm3?s-1 for this strongly exothermic reaction. Water makes the exchange reaction more exothermic but, at the same time, considerably slower. The results are rationalized with a need for proper orientation of the reactants in the hydrated system, with formation of a Mg2+(CO4)-(H2O) n intermediate while the activation energy is negligible. According to our nanocalorimetric analysis, the exchange reaction of the hydrated ion is exothermic by -1.7 ± 0.5?eV, in agreement with quantum chemical calculations.

Effects of vibrational excitation on the F + H2O ? HF + OH reaction: dissociative photodetachment of overtone-excited [F-H-OH].

Project description:The reaction F + H2O ? HF + OH is a four-atom system that provides an important benchmark for reaction dynamics. Hydrogen atom transfer at the transition state for this reaction is expected to exhibit a strong dependence on reactant vibrational excitation. In the present study, the vibrational effects are examined by photodetachment of vibrationally excited F-(H2O) precursor anions using photoelectron-photofragment coincidence (PPC) spectroscopy and compared with full six-dimensional quantum dynamical calculations on ab initio potential energy surfaces. Prior to photodetachment at h?UV = 4.80 eV, the overtone of the ionic hydrogen bond mode in the precursor F-(H2O), 2?IHB at 2885 cm-1, was excited using a tunable IR laser. Experiment and theory show that vibrational energy in the anion can be effectively carried away by the photoelectron upon a Franck-Condon photodetachment, and also show evidence for an increase of branching into the F + H2O reactant channel. The experimental results suggest a greater role for product rotational excitation than theory. Improved potential energy surfaces and longer wavepacket propagation times would be helpful to further examine the nature of the discrepancy.

Effect of Vapor Pressure During the Steam Coating Treatment on Structure and Corrosion Resistance of the Mg(OH)₂/Mg-Al LDH Composite Film Formed on Mg Alloy AZ61.

Project description:Corrosion resistant films with almost the same film thickness were prepared on the magnesium alloy AZ61 by steam coating at different vapor pressure and treatment times. The effect of the vapor pressure on the structures and the corrosion resistance of the films was investigated by using FE-SEM, SEM-EDX, GAXRD, and potentiodynamic polarization curve measurements in a 3.5 mass percentage NaCl aqueous solution. These studies clarified that the interlayers of Mg-Al Layered Double Hydroxide (LDHs) increased and its structure became non-uniform with an increase in the vapor pressure. The corrosion current density slightly increased with an increase in the vapor pressure during the treatment, but pitting corrosion occurred at both low and high vapor pressures. These results indicate that water molecules were pushed into an interlayer of Mg-Al LDHs by high vapor pressure. Consequently, the interlayer distance of Mg-Al LDH was widened and the cracks were generated in the anti-corrosive film. On the other hand, the Mg-Al LDH with an insufficiently large interlayer distance could not fill the cracks in the Mg(OH)₂ crystallites and caused pitting corrosion when the vapor pressure was low.

Widespread distribution of OH/H2O on the lunar surface inferred from spectral data.

Project description:Remote sensing data from lunar orbiters have revealed spectral features consistent with the presence of OH or H2O on the lunar surface. Analyses of data from the Moon Mineralogy Mapper spectrometer onboard the Chandryaan-1 spacecraft have suggested that OH/H2O is recycled on diurnal timescales and persists only at high latitudes. However, the spatial distribution and temporal variability of the OH/H2O, as well as its source, remain uncertain. Here we incorporate a physics-based thermal correction into analysis of reflectance spectra from the Moon Mineralogy Mapper and find that prominent absorption features consistent with OH/H2O can be present at all latitudes, local times, and surface types examined. This suggests the widespread presence of OH/H2O on the lunar surface without significant diurnal migration. We suggest that the spectra are consistent with the production of OH in space weathered materials by the solar wind implantation of H+ and formation of OH at crystal defect sites, as opposed to H2O sourced from the lunar interior. Regardless of the specific composition or formation mechanism, we conclude that OH/H2O can be present on the Moon under thermal conditions more wide-ranging than previously recognized.

Crystal structures of Z-Gly-Aib-O-·0.5Ca2+·H2O and Z-Gly-Aib-OH.

Project description:Both deprotonated and neutral achiral title dipeptides assume similar structures of two conformations, which are related by a unit-cell inversion centre. Two mol-ecules of both conformations of the metal-free neutral dipeptide are linked by two hydrogen bonds, while two mol-ecules of both conformations of the ionized form coordinate a calcium ion in calcium(II) bis-[2-(2-{[(benz-yl-oxy)carbon-yl]amino}-acetamido)-2-methyl-propano-ate] monohydrate, 0.5Ca2+·C14H17N2O5-·0.5H2O, which lies on an inversion centre and forms a distorted octa-hedral complex with the metal ion. These CaII complexes are connected in the crystal via hydrogen bonds in the b- and c-axis directions, whereas in the a-axis direction, they stack via apolar contacts. In the metal-free crystal, namely 2-(2-{[(benz-yloxy)carbon-yl]amino}-acetamido)-2-methyl-propanoic acid, C14H18N2O5, mol-ecules are hydrogen bonded in the a- and c-axis directions, and stack in the b-axis direction via apolar contacts.

Photochemistry and spectroscopy of small hydrated magnesium clusters Mg+(H2O)n, n = 1-5.

Project description:Hydrated singly charged magnesium ions Mg+(H2O)n, n ? 5, in the gas phase are ideal model systems to study photochemical hydrogen evolution since atomic hydrogen is formed over a wide range of wavelengths, with a strong cluster size dependence. Mass selected clusters are stored in the cell of an Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometer at a temperature of 130 K for several seconds, which allows thermal equilibration via blackbody radiation. Tunable laser light is used for photodissociation. Strong transitions to D1-3 states (correlating with the 3s-3px,y,z transitions of Mg+) are observed for all cluster sizes, as well as a second absorption band at 4-5 eV for n = 3-5. Due to the lifted degeneracy of the 3px,y,z energy levels of Mg+, the absorptions are broad and red shifted with increasing coordination number of the Mg+ center, from 4.5 eV for n = 1 to 1.8 eV for n = 5. In all cases, H atom formation is the dominant photochemical reaction channel. Quantum chemical calculations using the full range of methods for excited state calculations reproduce the experimental spectra and explain all observed features. In particular, they show that H atom formation occurs in excited states, where the potential energy surface becomes repulsive along the O?H coordinate at relatively small distances. The loss of H2O, although thermochemically favorable, is a minor channel because, at least for the clusters n = 1-3, the conical intersection through which the system could relax to the electronic ground state is too high in energy. In some absorption bands, sequential absorption of multiple photons is required for photodissociation. For n = 1, these multiphoton spectra can be modeled on the basis of quantum chemical calculations.

Crystal structure of CdSO4(H2O): a redetermination.

Project description:The crystal structure of the title compound, cadmium sulfate monohydrate or poly[(μ2-aqua)(μ4-sulfato)-cadmium], was redetermined based on modern CMOS (complementary metal oxide silicon) data. In comparison with the previous study [Bregeault & Herpin (1970 ▸). Bull. Soc. Fr. Mineral. Cristallogr. 93, 37-42], all non-H atoms were refined with anisotropic displacement parameters and the hydrogen-bonding pattern unambiguously established due to location of the hydrogen atoms. In addition, a significant improvement in terms of precision and accuracy was achieved. In the crystal, the Cd(2+) cation is coordinated by four O atoms of four sulfate anions and two O atoms of water mol-ecules, forming a distorted octa-hedral trans-[CdO6] polyhedron. Each sulfate anion bridges four Cd(2+) cations and each water mol-ecule bridges two Cd(2+) cations, leading to the formation of a three-dimensional framework, with Cd⋯Cd separations in the range 4.0757 (2)-6.4462 (3) Å. O-H⋯O hydrogen-bonding inter-actions of medium strength between the coordinating water mol-ecules and sulfate anions consolidate the crystal packing.

Mg(2+)-Dependent Control of the Spatial Arrangement of Rhodococcus erythropolis PR4 Cells in Aqueous-Alkane Two Phase Culture Containing n-Dodecane.

Project description:We recently reported that a close relationship exists between alkane carbon-chain length, cell growth, and translocation frequency in Rhodococcus. In the present study, we examined the regulation of the spatial arrangement of cells in aqueous-alkane two phase cultures. An analysis of the effects of minerals on cell localization revealed that changes in the concentration of MgSO4 in two phase cultures containing n-dodecane (C12) altered cell localization from translocation to adhesion and vice versa. Our results indicate that the spatial arrangement of cells in two phase culture systems is controlled through the regulation of MgSO4 concentrations.
