Water Interplays during Dysprosium Electrodeposition in Pyrrolidinium Ionic Liquid: Deconvoluting the Pros and Cons for Rare Earth Metallization

The electrochemical production of rare earth metals (REMs) in ionic liquids (ILs) has received much attention as a promising, sustainable and replacement to the molten salt electrolysis. Water additives have been recently suggested as a strategy to overcome the limitations of the ionic liquid process, but without complete assessment of its overall viability for the REMs production. In this regard, a full investigation of water impact on dysprosium (Dy) electrodeposition in pyrrolidinium triflate (BMPyOTf) ionic liquid was carried out. Water introduction was revealed to involve an interplay of implications on the electrodeposition process, including coordination, speciation, reduction pathways, interfacial dynamics, nucleation and metal stability and purity. In highly dry conditions, the reduction occurs at very negative potentials (-3.3V) in a consecutive pathway, resulting in negligible metal electrodeposition (low rate and efficiency) at the electrode surface. Initial water introduction (<30% molar fraction) leads to partitioning of the Dy complex between water and IL coordinated speciation, giving rise to an additional wave at more positive potentials (-2.4V). Probing and quantification of the heterogeneous Dy speciation by spectroscopic analyses enabled the uncovering of the reduction mechanism and accurate evaluation of the mass transport properties. While lowering the reduction thermodynamics, water addition also improved the nucleation, deposition rate and faradaic efficiency. In spite of these benefits, stripping voltammetric analysis also indicated substantial chemical reactivity of the deposited Dy metal with water additives and/or electrolyte components, under extended timescales. Surface characterization of the obtained product confirmed limited Dy metal stability (mostly oxidized/fluorinated) and purity (~60%) in the studied system. Moreover, high water introduction (>30% molar fraction) was shown to trigger a fast hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), downgrading the robustness of system efficiency. We report the overall impact of water additives seems to engender both promoting and mitigating effects on the Dy electrodeposition process, making the case for more innovative strategies to be sought.

Mediating Photochemical Reaction Rates at Lewis Acidic Rare Earths by Selective Energy Loss to 4f-Electron States

Manifesting chemical differences in individual rare earth (RE) element complexes is challenging due to the similar sizes of the tripositive cations and the corelike 4f shell. In this work, we disclose a new strategy for differentiating between similarly sized Dy 3+ and Y 3+ ions through a tailored photochemical reaction of their isostructural complexes in which the f-electron states of Dy 3+ act as an energy sink. Complexes RE(hfac) 3 (NMMO) 2 (RE = Dy (2-Dy) and Y (2-Y), hfac = hexafluoroacetylacetonate, and NMMO = N-methylmorpholine-N-oxide) showed variable rates of oxygen atom transfer (OAT) to triphenylphosphine under ultraviolet (UV) irradiation, as monitored by 1 H and 19 F NMR spectroscopies. Ultrafast transient absorption spectroscopy (TAS) identified the excited state(s) responsible for the photochemical OAT reaction or lack thereof. Competing sensitization pathways leading to excited-state deactivation in 2-Dy through energy transfer to the 4f electron manifold ultimately slows the OAT reaction at this metal cation. The measured rate differences between the open-shell Dy 3+ and closed-shell Y 3+ complexes demonstrate that using established principles of 4f ion sensitization may deliver new, selective modalities for differentiating the RE elements that do not depend on cation size.

Magnetic Blocking in Fluoflavine Radical-Bridged Dilanthanide Complexes

Magnetic exchange coupling is difficult to foster in polynuclear lanthanide (Ln) complexes and poorly understood. While coupling Ln ions through closed-shell ligands is inherently weak due to the contracted 4f orbitals, placing open-shell ligands instead has proven to promote orders of magnitude stronger coupling, giving rise to single-molecule magnets (SMMs) innate to real magnetic memory effect in the case of the anisotropic Ln ions. Notably, the impact of radical bridges with differing oxidation states on magnetic blocking remains unexplored due to lack of Ln SMMs with radicals in two distinct charge states. Herein, the first dilanthanide complexes (Ln = Gd, Dy) containing fluoflavine (flv) bridges, [(Cp* 2 Ln) 2 (μ-flv z )]X, (where X = [Al(OC{CF 3 } 3 ) 4 ] − (z = 1−•), 1-Ln; X = 0 (z = 2−), 2-Ln; X =[K(crypt-222)] + (z = 3−•), 3-Ln) are reported. 1-Ln and 3-Ln, comprising the flv 1−• and flv 3−• radical bridges, were investigated via single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD), ultraviolet−visible (UV−vis) spectroscopy, Superconducting Quantum Interference Device (SQUID) magnetometry, high-field electron paramagnetic resonance (HF-EPR) spectroscopy and broken-symmetry density functional theory (BS-DFT) calculations. 1-Dy and 3-Dy constitute the first SMMs innate to radicals in two differing oxidation states. 1-Dy exhibits a spin-reversal barrier U eff of 28.36 cm −1 and open magnetic hysteresis loops below 3 K. By contrast, 3-Dy displays a much higher U eff of 143(2) cm −1 and open hysteresis loops until 9.5 K, representing a record for dilanthanide SMMs containing an organic radical bridge. The boost in SMM properties in 3-Dy is attributed to spin-phonon coupling and improved frontier orbital structure. This study paves the way for advanced design strategies of polynuclear Ln SMMs.
