Manganese valence and coordination structure in Mn,Mg-codoped {gamma}-AlON green phosphor

The valence and coordination structure of manganese in a Mn,Mg-codoped {gamma}-AlON spinel-type oxynitride green phosphor were studied by synchrotron X-ray diffraction and absorption fine structure measurements. The absorption edge position of the XANES revealed the bivalency of Mn. Two cation sites are available in the spinel structure for cation doping: a tetrahedral site and an octahedral site. The pre-edge of the XANES and the distance to the nearest neighbor atoms obtained from the EXAFS measurement showed that Mn was situated at the tetrahedral site. Rietveld analysis showed that the vacancy occupied the octahedral site. The preferential occupation of the tetrahedral site by Mn and the roles of N and Mg are discussed in relation to the spinel crystal structure. - Graphical Abstract: Fourier transform of EXAFS of Mn K-edge for Mn,Mg-codoped green phosphor and Mn coordination structure.

We describe the successful synthesis of Fe{sub 2}(dobdc) (dobdc{sup 4−}=2, 5-dioxido-1, 4-benzenedicarboxylate), which has an open metal coordination site Fe(II), and investigate the adsorption properties of three important molecules CO{sub 2}, CH{sub 4} and N{sub 2} on Fe{sub 2}(dobdc) and an oxidized analog, Fe{sub 2}(O{sub 2})(dobdc). We found that CO{sub 2} adsorption isotherm of Fe{sub 2}(dobdc) at 10 bar was very different from Fe{sub 2}(O{sub 2})(dobdc), with the capacities of 144.5 cm{sup 3} g{sup −1} and 98.1 cm{sup 3} g{sup −1}, respectively. The adsorption capacities for CH{sub 4} were 75.8 cm{sup 3} g{sup −1} and 36.8 cm{sup 3} g{sup −1}, respectively, at 10 bar in these materials. Using ideal adsorbed solution theory (IAST), we obtain the adsorption selectivity for CO{sub 2} using equimolar mixtures of CO{sub 2}/CH{sub 4} and CO{sub 2}/N{sub 2} with Fe{sub 2}(dobdc) and Fe{sub 2}(O{sub 2})(dobdc) as a function of pressure. Fe{sub 2}(dobdc) has a higher, more stable separation factor. - Graphical abstract: The selectivity of CO{sub 2}/CH{sub 4} mixture (50%/50%) on Fe{sub 2}(dobdc) and Fe{sub 2}(O{sub 2})(dobdc). - Highlights: • We explored the contrastive adsorption of CO{sub 2}, CH{sub 4}, and N{sub 2} in Fe{sub 2}(dobdc) and Fe{sub 2}(O{sub 2})(dobdc) for the first time. • Through IAST, we obtain the adsorption selectivity for CO{sub 2} from the equimolar mixture of CO{sub 2}/CH{sub 4} and CO{sub 2}/N{sub 2} for Fe{sub 2}(dobdc) and Fe{sub 2}(O{sub 2})(dobdc). • We determined that the open coordination site of Fe(II) is the main reason for different adsorption performances.

Pb{sub 5}Fe{sub 3}TiO{sub 11}Cl: A rare example of Ti(IV) in a square pyramidal oxygen coordination

A new oxychloride Pb{sub 5}Fe{sub 3}TiO{sub 11}Cl has been synthesized using the solid state method. Its crystal and magnetic structure was investigated in the 1.5–550 K temperature range using electron diffraction, high angle annular dark field scanning transmission electron microscopy, atomic resolution energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, neutron and X-ray powder diffraction. At room temperature Pb{sub 5}Fe{sub 3}TiO{sub 11}Cl crystallizes in the P4/mmm space group with the unit cell parameters a=3.91803(3) Å and c=19.3345(2) Å. Pb{sub 5}Fe{sub 3}TiO{sub 11}Cl is a new n=4 member of the oxychloride perovskite-based homologous series A{sub n+1}B{sub n}O{sub 3n−1}Cl. The structure is built of truncated Pb{sub 3}Fe{sub 3}TiO{sub 11} quadruple perovskite blocks separated by CsCl-type Pb{sub 2}Cl slabs. The perovskite blocks consist of two layers of (Fe,Ti)O{sub 6} octahedra sandwiched between two layers of (Fe,Ti)O{sub 5} square pyramids. The Ti{sup 4+} cations are preferentially located in the octahedral layers, however, the presence of a noticeable amount of Ti{sup 4+} in a five-fold coordination environment has been undoubtedly proven using neutron powder diffraction and atomic resolution compositional mapping. Pb{sub 5}Fe{sub 3}TiO{sub 11}Cl is antiferromagnetically ordered below 450(10) K. The ordered Fe magnetic moments at 1.5 K are 4.06(4) μ{sub B} and 3.86(5) μ{sub B} on the octahedral and square-pyramidal sites, respectively. - Highlights: • Pb{sub 5}Fe{sub 3}TiO{sub 11}Cl has been synthesized using the solid state method. • The structure has been refined using neutron powder diffraction data at 1.5–550 K. • It is a new n=4 member of the perovskite-related homologous series A{sub n+1}B{sub n}O{sub 3n−1}Cl. • Ti{sup 4+} cations have both octahedral and square-pyramidal coordination environment. • Pb{sub 5}Fe{sub 3}TiO{sub 11}Cl is antiferromagnetically ordered below T{sub N}≈450 K.

Different dimensional coordination polymers with 4,4'-oxybis(benzoate): Syntheses, structures and properties

Five transition-metal coordination polymers, namely, [Zn{sub 7}Cl{sub 6}(oba){sub 4}]{sub n} (1), [Cd{sub 7}Cl{sub 6}(oba){sub 4}]{sub n} (2), [Zn(oba)(H{sub 2}O)]{sub n} (3), [Ag{sub 2}(oba)]{sub n} (4) and [Co(oba)(H{sub 2}O){sub 2}]{sub n} (5) (H{sub 2}oba=4,4′-oxydibenzoic acid), have been achieved under hydrothermal conditions and structurally characterized by IR, elemental analyses, X-ray single-crystal diffraction and TGA. The X-ray single-crystal diffraction reveals that compounds 1 and 2 are isomorphism, featuring pillared-layer 3D motifs, in which the 2D inorganic layers (Zn{sub 6}Cl{sub 7}){sub n} (or (Cd{sub 6}Cl{sub 7}){sub n}) are connected by oba{sup 2−} pillars. Compound 3 exhibits 1D stair-like chain and extends to a 3D network by two different interchain O–H–O hydrogen bonding interactions while compound 4 features wave chains and stretches to 2D layer by interchain Ag–O weak contacts. Compound 5 shows 2D network in which Co-chains are pillared by oba{sup 2−} ligand and then forms a 3D network by four different O–H–O hydrogen bonding interactions. Furthermore, 1–4 exhibit luminescent properties at a solid state and 5 shows antiferromagnetic behavior. - Graphical abstract: Five new transition-metal coordination complexes 1–5 have been synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffractions, IR spectra, elemental analyses, thermogravimetric analyses (TGA), photoluminescent spectra and magnetic measurement. - Highlights: • Compound 1 exhibits a pillared-layer 3D network. • The photoluminescent properties of 1–4 have been measured. • Compound 5 exhibits antiferromagnetic behavior.
