Systematic trends in structural and thermodynamic properties of ternary oxides in the systems Ln-Pd-O (Ln = lanthanide element)

Isothermal sections of the phase diagrams for the systems Ln-Pd-O (Ln = lanthanide element) at 1223 K indicate the presence of two inter-oxide compounds Ln(4)PdO(7) and Ln(2)Pd(2)O(5) for Ln = La, Pr, Nd, Sm, three compounds Ln(4)PdO(7), Ln(2)PdO(4) and Ln(2)Pd(2)O(5) for Ln = Eu, Gd and only one compound of Ln(2)Pd(2)O(5) for Ln = Tb to Ho. The lattice parameters of the compounds Ln(4)PdO(7), Ln(2)PdO(4) and Ln(2)Pd(2)O(5) show systematic nonlinear variation with atomic number. The unit cell volumes decrease with increasing atomic number. The standard Gibbs energies, enthalpies and entropies of formation of the ternary oxides from their component binary oxides (Ln(2)O(3) and PdO) have been measured recently using an advanced version of the solid-state electrochemical cell. The Gibbs energies and enthalpies of formation become less negative with increasing atomic number of Ln. For all the three compounds, the variation in Gibbs energy and enthalpy of formation with atomic number is markedly non-linear. The decrease in stability with atomic number is most pronounced for Ln(2)Pd(2)O(5), followed by Ln(4)PdO(7) and Ln(2)PdO(4). This is probably related to the repulsion between Pd2+ ions on the opposite phases Of O-8 cubes in Ln(2)Pd(2)O(5), and the presence of Ln-filled O-8 cubes that share three faces with each other in Ln4PdO7. The values for entropy of formation of all the ternary oxides from their component binary oxides are relatively small. Although the entropies of formation show some scatter, the average value for Ln = La, Pr, Nd is more negative than the average value for the other lanthanide elements. From this difference, an average value for the structure transformation entropy of Ln(2)O(3) from C-type to A-type is estimated as 0.87 J.mol(-1).K-1. The standard Gibbs energies of formation of these ternary oxides from elements at 1223 K are presented as a function of lanthanide atomic number. By invoking the Neumann-Kopp rule for heat capacity, thermodynamic properties of the inter-oxide compounds at 298.15 K are estimated. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

Interaction of H-2 with transition metal homonuclear dimers Cu-2, Ag-2, Au-2 and heteronuclear dimers PdCu, PdAg and PdAu

The reaction mechanisms of the H-2 with the homonuclear dimers M-2 (Cu, Ag, Au) and the heteronuclear dimers PdM (M = Cu, Ag, Au) were studied by use of density functional theory. For the H-2 reactions with homonuclear dimers M-2 (Cu, Ag, Au), it was found that it is easier for Au-2 to dissociate the hydrogen molecule compared with Cu-2 and Ag-2. For H-2 reactions with the heteronuclear dimers PdM (M = Cu, Ag, An), the hydrogen molecule can be easily dissociated at Pd site, rather than at noble metal site.

PREPARATION AND STRUCTURE OF HALF-OPEN VANADOCENE, V[2,4-(CH3)2C5H5](C5H5)CO

The half-open vanadocene, V[2,4-(CH3)2C5H5](C5H5)CO, was obtained by the reaction of V[2,4-(CH3)2C5H5](C5H5)PMe3 with CO in petroleum ether at room temperature. Its crystal structure was determined by X-ray diffraction technique. The crystal was monoclinic with space group P2(1)/n, a = 16.614(3), b = 7.636(1), c = 19.128(6) angstrom, beta = 99.92(2)-degrees, V = 2390.5(9) angstrom3, and Z = 8. The final R value was 0.043. The V(1)-CPD(1) (half) (PD = 2,4-(CH3)2C5H5) bonds were shorter (0.038 angstrom) than the V(1)-CCP(1) (half) (CP = C5H5) bonds, averaging 2.224(4) versus 2.262(4) angstrom, respectively. 4V[2,4-(CH3)2C5H5](C5H5)CO has been characterized by IR and EPR methods.

Pharmacological evidence for beta(2)-adrenoceptor in right atria from stressed female rats

The purpose of the present study was to demonstrate a physiological response to TA2005, a potent beta(2)-adrenoceptor (beta(2)-AR) selective agonist, in right atria isolated from stressed female rats under the influence of the estrous cycle. We obtained concentration-response curves to the agonist in the presence and in the absence of selective antagonists in right atria isolated from female rats submitted to three daily foot-shock sessions (30 min duration, 120 pulses of 1.0 mA, 1.0 s, applied at random intervals of 5-25 s) and sacrificed at estrus or diestrus. Our results showed that the pD(2), values of TA2005 were not influenced by estrous cycle phase or foot-shock stress. However, in right atria from stressed rats sacrificed during diestrus, the concentration-response curve to TA2005 was biphasic, with a response being obtained at concentrations of 0.1 nM, whereas during estrus no response was observed at doses lower than 3 nM. ICI118,551, a beta(2)-AR antagonist, abolished the response to nanomolar concentrations of TA2005 in right atria from stressed rats at diestrus, with no changes in a,agonist pot values in right atria from control rats (7.47 +/- 0.09, p > 0.05) but a 3-fold decrease in pD(2), values of TA2005 in right atria from foot shock stressed rats (7.90 +/- 0.07, p less than or equal to 0.05). Concentration-response curves to TA2005 in the presence of ICI118,551 were best fitted by a one-site model equation. The beta(1)-AR antagonist, CGP20712A, shifted to the right only the second part of the concentration-response curves to the agonist, unmasking the putative Pz-AR-mediated response to the agonist in tissues isolated from stressed rats at diestrus. Under this condition, concentration-response curves to the agonist were best fitted by a two-site model equation. pot and maximum response of TA2005 interaction with beta(1)- and putative Pz-adrenoceptor components were calculated. Schild analyses gave a pK(B) value for CGP20712A that was typical for the interaction with beta(1)-AR in each experimental group. pK(B), values for ICI118,551 could not be obtained in stressed rats sacrificed at diestrus since Schild plot slopes were lower than 1.0. In right atria from control rats, ICI118,551 pK(B), values were similar to reported values for the interaction of the antagonist with beta(1)-AR. These results confirm that a heterogenous PAR population mediating the chronotropic response to catecholamines can be demonstrated in right atria from foot shock stressed female rats sacrificed at diestrus. The stress-induced response seems to be mediated by the beta(2)-AR subtype. Right atria from rats sacrificed during estrus are protected against stress-induced alterations on the homogeneity of PAR population.

Self-assembly of organometallic Pd(II) complexes via CH3 center dot center dot center dot pi interactions: the first example of a cyclopalladated compound with herringbone stacking pattern

Two binuclear cyclometallated compounds [Pd(C-2,N-dmba)(mu-N-3)](2) (1) and [Pd-2(C-2,N-dmba)(2)(mu-N-3)(mu-Cl)] (2) (dmba = N,N-dimethylbenzylarnine) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental 3 analysis, IR and NMR spectroscopies and single crystal X-ray diffraction crystallography. The ability of CH3 groups to form C(sp(3))-H...pi hydrogen bonds with phenyl rings is responsible for the molecular self-assembly within the crystals of 1 and 2. Compound 1 crystallizes as one-dimensional supramolecular chains whereas the crystal packing of 2 consists of a herringbone of sandwiches composed by two inversely related [Pd-2(C-2,N-dmba)(2)(mu-N-3)(mu-Cl)] molecules.

Mono and dinuclear Pd(II) complexes with pyrazole and imidazole-type ligands

The cyanate-bridged cyclopalladated compound [Pd(C(2),N-dmba)(mu-NCO)](2) (dmba=N,N-dimethylbenzylamine) reacts in acetone with pyrazole (pz), 3,5-dimethylpyrazole (dmpz), imidazole (imz) and 2-methylimidazole (mimz) to give [Pd(2)(C(2),N-dmba)(2)(mu-NCO)(mu-pz)] (1), [Pd(2)(C(2),N-dmba)(2)(mu-NCO)(mu-dmpz)] (2), [Pd(C(2),N-dmba)(NCO)(imz)] (3) and [Pd(C(2),N-dmba)(NCO)(mimz)] (4), respectively. The compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy and TG. The thermal decomposition of the compounds occurs in three consecutive steps and the final decomposition products were identified as Pd(0) by X-ray powder diffraction. The thermal stability order of the complexes is 2 > 3 > 1 > 4.

Coordination driven self-assembly of metallamacrocycles using ambidentate linkers and self-selection of single linkage isomer

Nicotinate-N-oxide and isonicotinate-N-oxide have been employed to synthesize four heterometallic metallamacrocycles (dppf)(2)Pd-2(nicotinate-N-oxide)(2)](OTf)(2) (1), (dppf)(2)Pt-2(nicotinate-N-oxide)(2)](OTf)(2) (2), (dppf) 2Pd2(isonicotinate-N-oxide)(2)](OTf)(2) (3) and (dppf)(2)Pt-2(isonicotinate-N-oxide)(2)](OTf)(2) (4). The complexes represent the first examples of metallamacrocycles driven by solely Pd(II)/Pt(II)-O coordination using carboxylate-N-oxide donor. All the complexes 1-4 are characterized by IR, UV-Vis, multinuclear NMR spectroscopic and ESI-MS studies. The molecular structures of the complexes 1 and 3 are unambiguously determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Despite the possibility of formation of several linkage isomers due to ambidentate nature of the donors, exclusive formation of 2 + 2] self-assembled single isomeric metallamacrocycle in each case is interesting observation.

Depalladation of Neutral Monoalkyne- and Dialkyne-Inserted Palladacycles and Alkyne Insertion/Depalladation Reactions of Cationic Palladacycles Derived from N,N `,N `'-Triarylguanidines as Facile Routes for Guanidine-Containing Heterocycles/Carbocycles: Synthetic, Structural, and Mechanistic Aspects

Depalladation of the monoalkyne-inserted cyclopalldated guanidines (kappa 2(C,N)Pd(2,6-Me2C5H3N)Br] (I and II) in PhCl under reflux conditions and that of the dialkyne-inserted cyclopalladated guanidine kappa(2)(C,N):eta(2)(C=C)PdBr] (III) in pyridine under reflux conditions afforded a guanidine-containing indole (1), imidaziondole (2), and benzazepine (3) in 80%, 67%, and 76%, yields, respectively. trans-L2PdBr2] species (L = 2,6-Me2C5H3N, C5H5N) were also isolated in the aforementioned reactions in 35%, 42%, and 40% yields. Further , the reaction of the cyclopalladated guanidine kappa(2)(C,N)Pd(mu-Br)](2) (IV) with AgBF4 in a CH2Cl2/MeCN mixture afforded the cationic pincer type cyclopalladated guanidine kappa(3)(C,N,O)Pd(MeCN)]BF4] (4) in 85% yield and this palladacycle upon crystallization in MeCN and the reaction of kappa(2)(C,N)Pd(mu-Br)](2) (V) with AgBf(4) in a CH2Cl2/MeCN mixture afforded the cationic palladacycles {kappa(2)(C,N)Pd(MeCN)(2)]BF4](5 and 6) in 89% and 91% yields, respectively. The separate reactions of 4 with 2 equiv of methyl phenylpropiolate (MPP) or diphenylacetylene (DPA) and the reaction of 5 with 2 equiv of MPP in PhCl at 110 degrees C afforded the guanidine-containing quinazolinium tetrafluoroborate 7 in 25-32% yields. The reaction of 6 with 2 equiv of DPA under otherwise identical conditions afforded the unsymmetrically substituted guanidinium tetrafluoroborate 8, containing a highly substituted naphthalene unit, in 82% yield. Compounds 1-8 were characterized by analytical and spectroscopic techniques, and all compounds except 4 were characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The Molecular structure of 2 and 3 are nove, as the framework in the former arises due to the formation of two C-N bonds upon depalladation while the butadienyl unit in the latter revealed cis,cis stereochemistry, a-feature unprecedented in alkyne insertion chemistry. Plausible pathways for the formation of heterocycles/carbocycles are proposed. the influence of substitutents on the aryl rings fo the cyclopalladated guanidine moiety and those on alkynes upon the nature of the products in addressed. Heterocycles 1 and 7 revealed the presence of two rotamers in about a 1.00:0.43 ratio in CDCl3 and in about a 1.00:0.14 ratio in CD3OD, respectively, as detected by H-1 NMR spectroscopy while in CD3CN and DMSO-d(6) (1) and CD3CN and CDCl3 (7), these heterocycles revealed the presence of a single rotamer. These spectral features are attributed to the restricted C-N single-bond rotation of the CN3 unit of the guanidine moiety, which possibly arises from steric constraint due to the formation of a N-H center dot center dot center dot Cl hydrogen bond with CDCl3 (1) and N-H center dot center dot center dot O and O-D center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen bonds with CD3OD (7).

稀土氟化物固体电解质的制备、结构及电学、传感性能的研究

我们利用湿法制备了单一稀土氟化物LnF_3(Ln = La 、Ce、Nd、Gd、Tb、Dy、Er、Yb、Y), 并采用高温固相反应制备了稀土掺杂氟化物Ln_(1-x)MxF_(3-δ)(Ln = La、Ce、Gd、Yb、Y M = Ca、Sr、Ba)。用X射张衍射方法研究了它们的晶体结构。对单一稀土氟化物，LaF_3、CeF_3、NdF_3为六方晶系，GdF_3、TbF_3、DyF_3、DrF_3、YbF_3、YF_3为正交晶系。对掺杂氟化物，La_(0.95)Ba_(0.05)F_(3-δ)、Ce_(0.95)Ca_(0.05)F_(3-δ)、Yb_(0.70)Sr_(0.30)F_(3-δ)为固溶体，Ce_(0.95)Ca_(0.05)F_(3-δ)的晶胞参数比CeF_3的略为变小；Gd_(0.85)Ca_(0.15)F_(3-δ)、Y_(0.71)Ca_(0.29)F_(3-δ)为新化合物，Gd_(0.85)Ca_(0.15)F_(3-δ)的晶体结构由GdF_3的正交晶系变为六方晶系，其晶胞参数为：a=3.973A, C=7.124A, γ=120°, Y_(0.71)Ca_(0.29)F_(3-δ)化合物的晶体结构与YF_3相同为正交晶系，晶胞参数却较小：a=3.683A、b=6.978A, c=3.396A。 我们对氟化物的烧结陶瓷片进行了直流电导率测量。对单一稀土氟化物，结果表明六方结构的化合物的电导率高于正交结构的，对于相同结构的氟化物，一般地，稀土离子半径越大，电导率越高；对于掺杂氟化物，由于二价碱土金属离子掺杂可以提高氟离子空位浓度，因此掺杂物的电异率均高于对应的单一稀土氟化物，其中Gd_(0.85)Ca_(0.15)F_(3-δ)掺杂后变成更利于离子导电的六方结构。采用压片工艺，以La_(0.95)Ba_(0.05)F_(3-δ)、Ce_(0.95)Ca_(0.05)F_(3-δ)、Gd_(0.85)Ca_(0.15)F_(3-δ)和Y_(0.71)Ca_(0.29)F_(3-δ)为固体电解质材料制备电位输出式氧传感器件，并利用调节N_2、O_2流量比控制氧分压的方法，对器件的敏感性能进行测试。结果表明该类器件可在150 ℃的低温下对氧气敏感，器件的输出电位差与氧分压的对数值有较好的线性关系。器件的响应时间在2分与9分之间。该类器件的敏感机理是：氧气先吸附敏感电极上，发生还原反应后生成的氧负离子在敏感电极与固体电解质界面上发生晶格置换反应，使得氧分压的改变通过快离子即氟离子在两个界面上（另一界面为参比电极与固体电解质界面）的电化学势差的变化与输出电位差值的改变联系起来，从而实现利用输出电位差测定氧分压的目的。根据使用的敏感电极材料，可以有单电子反应和双电子反应两种敏感机理。器件是由参比电极、固体电解质、敏感电极三个部分构成。我们采用固定其中二个部分的材料，改变第三个部分的用料的方法，对器件的敏感性进行了对比研究：A、我们首先固定固体电解质为Ce_(0.95)Ca_(0.05)F_(3-δ)、敏感电极材料为Pt黑，采用不同的参比电极材料Bi+BiF_3、Sb+SbF_3、Mg+MgF_2、Zn+ZnF_2制备了器件。性能测试结果表明使用Bi+BiF_3参比电极材料的器件稳定性和敏感性都比其它器件好。器件的输出电位差取决于参比电极氟化物的标准生成自由能的大小。B、固定Bi+BiF_3为参比电极材料，Ce_(0.95)Ca_(0.05)F_(3-δ)为固体电解质，使用不同的敏感电极材料Pt黑、Pd粉、Ag粉和RuO_2制备器件。性能测试结果表明：Pt材料器件的精确度较高，Pd材料器件的响应最快（2分），RuO_2材料器件的敏感性较好。使用Ag、RuO_2敏感电极材料的器件采用的是单电子反应敏感机理：O_2 + e <-> O_2~-, O_2~- + V_F + F_(F-bar)~- <-> O_(F-bar) + O_F + F_(F-bar)。而使用Pt、Pd敏感电极材料的器件采用双电子反应敏感机理：O_2 + 2e <-> 2O~-, 2O~- + F_(F-bar) <->O_(F-bar) + F~-。C、我们固定Bi+BiF_3为参比电极材料，Pt和RuO_2为敏感电极材料，使用La_(0.95)Ba_(0.05)F_(3-δ)、Ce_(0.95)Ca_(0.05)F_(3-δ)、Gd_(0.85)(Ca_(0.015)F_(3-δ)、Yb_(0.70)Ca_(0.29)F_(3-δ)制备了两个系列的器件。结果表明，无论是使用Pt还是使用RuO_2为敏感电极材料，都有下列的结论：用Ce_(0.95)Ca_(0.05)F_(3-δ)的器件的精确度较高，La_(0.95)Ba_(0.05)F_(3-δ)材料器件的敏感性最好，而Gd_(0.85)(Ca_(0.015)F_(3-δ的响应最快（Pt器件2分，RuO_2器件5分）。并未发现同时具备各种较好性能的器件，与敏感电极材料对器件性能的影响相比，固体电解质材料的影响要小。对于材料完全相同的器件，我们还对工艺条件影响作了初步研究。制备器件的工艺条件由于各种难以控制的因素不会每次、每批完全相同，工艺条件的差别也会影响器件的各方面性能。研究结果表明，工艺差别对器件的输出电位差值和响应时间的影响较大，对敏感性能的影响则较小。
