Rare earth transition metal sulfides, LnMS3

Ternary rare earth transition metal sulfides LnMS3 with Ln = La, Nd, and Gd, and M = V and Cr; as well as Ln = La and M = Mn, Fe, Co, and Ni have been prepared and characterized. The vanadium and chromium sulfides crystallize in a monoclinic layer structure isotypic with LaCrS3, while the other LnMS3 sulfides crystallize in a hexagonal structure. Chemical shifts of the metal K-absorption edge and XPS binding energies of core levels indicate that the transition metal is trivalent in the V and Cr sulfides, while it is divalent in the Mn, Fe, Co, and Ni sulfides. Electrical and magnetic properties of the sulfides are discussed in terms of their structures and the electronic configurations of the transition metal ions.

2,6-Lutidine-N-oxide complexes of rare-earth bromides

2,6-Lutidine-N-oxide (LNO) complexes of rare-earth bromides of the composition $$MBr_3 .(LNO)_{4_{ - n} } .nH_2 O$$ wheren = l for M = La, Pr, Nd, Sm, Gd, Ho, Er; andn = 0 for M = Y have been prepared and characterised by analyses, conductance and infrared data. Infrared spectra of the complexes indicate that the coordination of ligand to the metal ion takes place through the oxygen of the ligand, and the water molecule in the complexes present is coordinated to the metal. A coordination number of seven has been suggested to all the rare-earth metal ions.

Topochemically controlled hydrogen reduction of scheelite-related rare-earth metal molybdates

Scheelite-related -Ln2Mo3O12(Ln = La, Pr, Nd, Sm, Gd, Tb, or Dy) oxides are reduced by hydrogen at 780–870 K yielding molybdenum (IV) oxides of formula Ln2Mo3O9. The latter crystallize in a tetragonal scheelite (ABO4) type structure where one third of the A sites and a quarter of the anion sites are vacant: Ln2/3(cat)1/3MoO3(an). The reaction Ln2Mo3O12+ 3H2 Ln2Mo3O9(an)3+ 3H2O may be regarded as topochemically controlled, since both the parent and the product phases have scheelite-related structures. Infrared spectra and electrical and magnetic properties of these metastable defect scheelite phases are reported.

Preparation, IR and nuclear magnetic resonance studies on the rare-earth perchlorate complexes of 3-methylpyridine-1-oxide

THE COMPLEXES of pyridine-l-oxide and 2- and 4-substituted pyridine-l-oxides have been investigated previously[l]. The complexes of 3-substituted pyfidine-l-oxides, however, have received little attention. The rare-earth complexes of pyridine-Ioxide[l, 2], 4-methylpyridine- l-oxide [1] and 2,6- dimethylpyfidine-l-oxide[3,4] have been reported earlier. The present paper deals with the isolation and characterisation of 3-methylpyridine-l-oxide (3-Picoline-N-oxide, 3-PicNO) complexes with rare-earth perchlorates.

Itinerant electron ferromagnetism in Sr2+-, Ca2+-, and Ba2+-doped rare-earth orthocobaltites (Ln3+1�xM2+xCoO3)

Electronic and magnetic properties of Ln1�xSrxCoO3 (Ln = Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, and Gd) systems show that above a critical value of x, the d electrons become itinerant while the materials become ferromagnetic at low temperatures. The ferromagnetic component increases with increase in x and decrease in temperature. The Curie temperature increases with x and decreases with decrease in the size of the rare-earth ion. Incorporation of Ba2+ in LaCoO3 favors itinerant electron ferromagnetism relative to Sr2+ while Ca2+ is less favorable than Sr2+.

3-Picoline-N-oxide complexes of rare-earth bromides

3-Picoline-N-oxide (3-PicNO) complexes of rare-earth bromides of the formulaMBr3(3-PicNO)8–n·nH2O wheren=0 forM=La, Pr, Nd, Sm Tb or Y andn=2 forM=Ho or Yb have been prepared. Infrared and proton NMR studies indicate that the coordination of the ligand is through oxygen. Conductance data in acetonitrile suggest that two bromide ions are coordinated to the metal ion. Proton NMR studies suggest a bicapped dodecahedral arrangement of the ligands around the metal ion in solution for Pr(III), Nd(III) and Tb(III) complexes.

Ferromagnetic resonance in Sr2+ doped rare earth orthocobaltites, Ln1â xSrxCoO3

FMR measurements have been carried out on several members of the Ln1âxSrxCoO3 (Ln = Rare earth) system. The results show that geff in these systems is around 1.25 independent of x as well as the rare earth ion. It is suggested that this unusual value of geff is due to the localized intermediate-spin Co3+ ions (t52ge1g) located at the top of the Ï* band.

4-Picoline-N-oxide complexes of rare-earth bromides

In continuation of our work on the effect of the anion on the coordination chemistry of the rare-earth metal ions, we have now extended our studies to 4-picoline-N-oxide (4-Pie NO) complexes of rare-earth bromides. By ohangi~ the method of preparation Harrison and Watsom (1) have prepared two types of Sm(IIl) complexes and three types of Eu(III) complexes of 4-pioollne-N-Oxide in the presence of perchlorate ions. We have isolated two types of pyridine-N-Oxide complexes of rare-earth bromides, also by changing the method of preparation (2). The effect of the change of the preparative method on the composition of the lanthanide complexes is exhibited in the case of other complexes also (3-6). But our attempts to prepare 4-picoline-N-Oxide of rare-earth bromides having different stoichiometries were unsucessful . The composition of the complexes is the same for all the complexes prepared. The results of the physico-chemical studies on these 4-Pic NO complexes of rare-earth bromides are discussed in the present paper.

Antipyrine complexes of rare-earth nitrates

Antipyrine complexes of eight rare-earth nitrates of the composition M(C11H12N2O)3 (NO3)3 where M = La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Gd, Er, and Y, have been prepared by a new, simple method and characterised. The complexes undergo exothermic decomposition at ~3oo°C. Infrared and U.V. spectral studies of the complexes indicate that antipyrine coordinates to metal through oxygen. The nature of the nitrate bonding is discussed in the light of infrared evidence, and conductivity studies in nitromethane and dimethylformamide.

Rare-earth trichloroacetates

The rare-earth trichloroacetates having the formula Ln(Cl3CCOO)3. 3H2O, where Ln = La, Pr, Nd, Sm, Gd or Y, were investigated by conductimetric, cryoscopic and infrared methods. The results suggest a structure in which the acetate anion coordinates to the metal through both the oxygen and the water molecules remain outside the coordination sphere.

Antipyrine complexes of rare earth perchlorates

Rare earth perchlorate-antipyrine (ap) complexes of the formula Ln (ClO4)3.6 ap have been prepared and characterised. Infrared and electronic spectra showed the co-ordination through carbonyl oxygen. Conductivity and molecular weight data indicated a co-ordination number of six for these complexes.

Dimethyl sulphoxide complexes of rare-earth perchlorates

Dimethylsulphoxide (DMSO) complexes of rare-earth perchlorates of the formula M(ClO4)3·n DMSO (M = La, Ce, Pr and Nd, n = 8; M = Sm, Gd and Y, n = 7) have been prepared. I.r. studies indicate co-ordination through oxygen. Cryoscopic and conductivity data show co-ordination number of 7 and 8.
