Abstract

The reaction of Eu with molten lithium polyselenide produced a new rare-earth dichalcogenide, EuSe{sub 2}. This compound cannot be obtained via direct combination of the elements and is therefore an example of how alkali metal chalcogenide fluxes can access metastable or kinetically stable phases. The crystals of EuSe{sub 2} are very dark red and air stable for several months. The structure was determined with single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The compound crystallizes in the tetragonal space group, I4/mcm ({number_sign} 140) with a = 6.391(1) {angstrom} and c = 7.848(1) {angstrom}, Z = 4, R1 = 3.9%, and wR2 = 10.0%. It adopts the CuAl{sub 2} structure type, and contains rows of staggered diselenide dumbbells running parallel to the c-axis, separated by rows of square antiprismatically coordinated Eu atoms. EuSe{sub 2} is a semiconductor with a band gap of 1.43 eV and decomposes at 569 C to the more stable cubic EuSe. EuSe{sub 2} displays metamagnetic behavior below 8 K. Variable temperature magnetic susceptibility and magnetization measurements were performed on single-crystal samples to study this phenomenon. A model is proposed in which all Eu spins in the ab-plane are coupled ferromagnetically, whereas alternate sheets are coupled antiferromagnetically to form bulk antiferromagnet.

Synthesis, crystal structure, and properties of polymeric Rb{sub 12}Nb{sub 6}Se{sub 35}, a novel ternary niobium selenide consisting of infinite anionic chains built up by Nb{sub 2}Se{sub 11} units containing an uncommon Se{sub 3}{sup 4{minus}}-fragment

Journal Article Duerichen, P ; Bensch, W ; Bolte, M - Journal of Solid State Chemistry

Rb{sub 12}Nb{sub 6}Se{sub 35} is the first ternary niobium polyselenide composed of infinite anionic chains. These are well separated by rubidium cations. It crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pbcn with unit cell dimensions a = 8.5811(1) {angstrom}, b = 13.7152(1) {angstrom}, c = 56.5225(4) {angstrom}, and Z = 4. The least-squares refinement against F{sup 2} with anisotropic displacement parameters for all atoms yields R1 = 5.78 and wR2 = 12.81. The anionic polymeric chains are arranged in layers parallel to the (010) plane, and successive planes are rotated by 35{degree} against each other. Nb{sub 2}Se{sub 11} units composed ofmore »« less

Journal Article Babizhetskyy, Volodymyr ; Department of Inorganic Chemistry, Ivan Franko National University of L'viv, Kyryla and Mefodiya Str. 6, UA-79005 Lviv ; Simon, Arndt ; ... - Journal of Solid State Chemistry

The crystal structure of LuB{sub 2}C has been determined from single crystal and powder X-ray diffraction data. It crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pbam (a=6.7429(1) A, b=6.7341(1) A, c=3.5890(1) A, Z=4, R1=0.024 (wR2=0.059) for 436 reflections with I{sub o}>2{sigma}(I{sub o})). The compounds REB{sub 2}C (RE=Y, Tb-Lu) are isotypic. The boron and carbon atoms form infinite, planar two-dimensional nets which alternate with sheets of rare-earth metal atoms. Inside the nonmetal atom nets, a coloring with fused B{sub 2}C{sub 2} rhombuses and B{sub 5}C{sub 2} heptagons is proposed, supported by NMR experiments and density functional theory calculations.

Syntheses, Crystal Structures, and Properties of the Three Novel Perselenoborates RbBSe

Journal Article Lindemann, Arno ; Kueper, Joern ; Hamann, Winfried ; ... - Journal of Solid State Chemistry

The perselenoborates RbBSe{sub 3} and CsBSe{sub 3} can be prepared from the metal selenides, amorphous boron, and selenium, in the case of TlBSe{sub 3} directly from the elements. The solid-state reactions were carried out in evacuated carbon-coated silica tubes at high temperatures. Single-crystal X-ray data were used to determine the crystal structures. Both alkali metal perselenoborates RbBSe{sub 3} and CsBSe{sub 3} crystallize in the monoclinic space group P2{sub 1}/c (RbBSe{sub 3}: a=7.279(2) {angstrom}, b=12.385(3) {angstrom}, c=6.169(2) {angstrom}, {beta}=105.67(3){degree}, Z=4, R1=0.0373, and wR2(F{sup 2})=0.1000; CsBSe{sub 3}: a=7.570(2) {angstrom}, b=12.791(4) {angstrom}, c=6.171(2) {angstrom}, {beta}=107.09(2){degree}, Z=4, R1=0.0332, and wR2(F{sup 2})=0.0751), while the thalliummore »« less

Sr{sub 2}Au{sub 3}In{sub 4} was synthesized by reacting the elements in glassy carbon crucibles under an argon atmosphere in a high-frequency furnace. Eu{sub 2}Au{sub 3}In{sub 4} was obtained in the same way but starting with EuAuIn as a precursor and admixing indium and gold. Both compounds were investigated by X-ray diffraction on powders and single crystals: anti-Hf{sub 2}Co{sub 4}P{sub 3} type, P{bar 6}2m, a = 1501.6(9) pm, c = 457.9(2) pm, wR2 = 0.0734, 1030 F{sup 2} values, 45 variables for Sr{sub 2}Au{sub 2.85}In{sub 4.15} and a = 1489.7(3) pm, c = 454.90(7) pm, wR2 = 0.1222, 1051 F{sup 2}more »« less
