The 57Fe-Moessbauer spectrum of (dmpipzH2)2[FeIII(H2O)2Cl4][FeIII Cl4]Cl2 (1) consists of two doublets caused by a strongly distorted octahedral and a non-distorted tetrahedral component. Both (dmpipzH2)[FeIIIBr4]2 (2) and (trienH2)[FeIIIBr4]Br (3) show only one doublet indicating a more strongly distorted iron(III) species for 2 and a less-distorted one in the case of 3. For all compounds investigated, the ESR spectra reveal the existence of ground states with predominant antiferromagnetic coupling. The Néel temperatures amount to <4.2 K for 1, 4 K for 3 and 48 K for 2. In the case of 2, both the Moessbauer and the ESR spectra reveal the formation of exchange-coupled {FeBr4} units which has been attributed to a significant cation influence. The fine structure of residual paramagnetic [FeBr4]- subunits remaining in the crystalline matrix could be directly determined. Temperature dependent AC and DC susceptibility measurements of 2 and 3 confirmed the results.
Time-optimized 15N quantitative NMR (qNMR) is described for the precise determination of Lewis and Brønsted site concentrations per gram catalyst, enabling a measurement time reduction of more than a factor of 10. The proof-of-principle is demonstrated for amorphous aluminum hydroxide fluorides with their tunable Lewis to Brønsted functionalities and relevance to highly active and selective heterogeneous catalysis using pyridine as a widely accepted probe molecule for Lewis and Brønsted sites. Two different Lewis centers were found, and reliable site concentrations down to the micromole per gram region can be determined. Furthermore, 1H{15N} REDOR NMR for the acid proton at the Brønsted site yields a distance of the 15N atom of bonded pyridine to this acid proton of (0.112 ± 0.002) nm, such that fast motion/diffusion of the Brønsted site-bonded pyridine at the surface can be excluded.
This study reports three new crystalline aluminum isopropoxide oxide fluorides with molar ratios of Al:F equal to 1:1 and 1:1.25. These are the first three representatives isolated without the incorporation of external donor molecules. Compound 1 Al4F4(µ4-O)(µ-O'Pr)5[H(O'Pr)2] contains a tetranuclear unit consisting of two different five fold coordinated AlFO4-units, with F exclusively in the terminal position. Compound 2, Al4F4(µ4-O)(µ-O'Pr)5[H(O'Pr)2]·Al5F5(µ5-O)(µ-O'Pr)8, contains both a tetranuclear unit (as in 1) and a pentanuclear Al-unit. Al-atoms in the latter are five- and six fold coordinated. Compound 3, Al16F20(µ4-O)4(µ-O'Pr)20·2('PrOH), exhibits a slightly higher fluorination degree and contains an oligomeric chain of four F-linked tetranuclear Al-units. In addition to X-ray structure analysis, compound 1 was characterized by different solid state MAS NMR techniques, including 27Al triple quantum MAS NMR and 1H, 1H→13C CP, 19F and 27Al MAS NMR. On the basis of the collected data, a reliable decomposition of 27Al single pulse MAS NMR spectra and an unambiguous assignment of the resonances to the respective structural AlFO4-units are given. The new crystalline aluminum isopropoxide oxide fluorides are direct evidence of the fluorolytic sol–gel mechanism previously discussed.
A series of crystalline aluminum hydroxy fluorides in cubic pyrochlore structure AlFx(OH)3-x·H2O with variable F-content x were investigated by solid-state NMR by applying different magnetic fields up to 21.1 T. Distinguishable octahedral species AlFx(OH)6-x (x = 1-6) were identified in the crystalline aluminum hydroxy fluorides. The subsequent analysis of the highfield 27Al MAS NMR data allows the derivation of the trend analysis graphs giving correlations between the 27Al chemical shifts and the quadrupolar frequencies and the F-content x in AlFx(OH)6-x. Clear trends were obtained for both, which are, along with the 19F MAS chemical-shift trend analysis presented earlier, valuable tools for the interpretation of MAS NMR spectra of amorphous AlFx(OX)3-x compounds (X = H, alkyl). Following the dehydration of the pyrochlores by solid-state NMR eventually reveals a remarkable influence of the incorporated solvent molecules (H2O) on the 19F chemical shift. On that basis, a new chemical-shift trend analysis for 19F chemical shifts in correlation with x in AlFx(OH)6-x units for proton-poor substances (in the Al, F, O, H system) was determined. By using this correlation, high-surface AlF3 has a mean bulk Al:F ratio similar to that found for ACF, namely, AlF2.8(O/OH)0.2.
A successful mechanochemical synthesis of strontium terephthalate trihydrate is described for the first time. The dehydration of Sr(C8H4O4)·3H2O occurs at about 100 °C and results in a well-defined strontium terephtalate, Sr(C8H4O4), thermally stable up to 550 °C. Both compounds are not described so far in the literature. Their structures were solved by ab initio structure determination and subsequent Rietveld refinement of the powder diffraction data. Further methods like DTA-TG, MAS NMR and FT-IR spectroscopy, and BET measurements were used to characterize these compounds.
A comprehensive spectroscopic characterization of all known crystalline AlF3 phases (α-, β-, η-, κ-, θ-AlF3) is presented for the first time in this study. Beside their X-ray diffraction powder patterns, which were already published in the literature, 27Al and 19F MAS NMR, FT IR and XPS spectroscopic techniques were applied for all phases in a consistent manner. For all phases prepared the utilization of 27Al satellite transition (SATRAS) NMR allowed to determine the quadrupolar parameters of the aluminium sites including their distributions.
In addition, η-AlF3 was isolated with high phase purity and characterized following a new preparation path different from those known so far in the literature.
Cr2O3, CrCl3, α-CrF3, CrF3·3H20 and Cr(OH)3 were investigated by x-ray photoelectron (XPS) and x-ray excited Auger electron spectroscopy (XAES) using a latest generation XPS spectrometer. Non-conductive powders are analyzed with ultimate energy resolution. Multiplet splitting features and/or satellite emission were observed in the Cr 2p and Cr 3s spectra. Cr(III) compounds are of interest in many applications as for example in corrosion and catalysis. Chromia and chromium-III-fluoride activated by reaction with fluoroalkanes are very promising industrial catalysts. It is the aim of this selection of spectral reference data to enable deeper insight in the formation of catalytically active fluorinated chromia phases by using XPS analysis.
This study presents for the first time an NMR spectroscopic characterization of the room and high temperature phases of (NH4)3InF6 using 19F and 115In as probe nuclei. The reversible phase transition to the cubic phase at 353 K was followed by MAS NMR in situ. Static NMR experiments of the room temperature phase and MAS NMR experiments of the high temperature phase allowed the determination of the NMR parameters of both nuclei. Finally, the scalar In–F coupling, rarely observed in solid state NMR, is evidenced in both room and high temperature phases of (NH4)3InF6, and measured in the high temperature phase.
A series of Ca-based coordination polymers were prepared mechanochemically by milling Ca(OH)2 with phthalic acid (H2oBDC), isophthalic acid (H2mBDC), and terephthalic acid (H2pBDC). The hydrated compounds [Ca(oBDC)(H2O)], [Ca(mBDC)(H2O)3.4], and [Ca(pBDC)(H2O)3] were prepared for the first time via mechanochemical routes. The refined structures were validated by extended X-ray absorption data. The new dehydrated compound [Ca(oBDC)] (1-H2O), obtained after the thermal post-treatment of 1 in a reversible phase transition process, was determined ab initio based on the powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) data. The materials were thoroughly characterized using elemental analysis, thermal analysis, and spectroscopic methods: magic-angle spinning NMR and attenuated total reflection-infrared spectroscopy. The specific surface areas and sorption properties of the hydrated and dehydrated samples were determined using the isotherms of gas sorption and dynamic vapor sorption measurements.
Anewbariumcoordination polymer, BaF-benzenedicarboxylate (BaF(p-BDC)0.5), with fluorine directly coordinated to the metal cation, was prepared by mechanochemical synthesis routes. Phase-pure BaF-benzenedicarboxylate was synthesized by milling starting either from barium hydroxide or from Barium acetate as sources for barium cations. In both cases, the second reactant was 1,4-benzenedicarboxylic acid (H2(p-BDC)). Ammonium fluoride was used as fluorinating agent directly at milling. This is the first mechanochemical synthesis of coordination polymers where fluorine is directly coordinated to the metal cation.
Following the second possibility, barium acetate fluoride (Ba(OAc)F) is formed as ntermediate product after milling, and the new coordination polymer is accessible only after washing with water and dimethyl sulfoxide. The new compound BaF(p-BDC)0.5 was characterized by X-ray powder diffraction, FTIR-, and 19F, 1H-13C CP MAS NMR spectroscopies, DTA-TG, and elemental Analysis.
New coordination polymers with 2D network structures with fluorine directly coordinated to the metal ion were prepared both via mechanochemical synthesis and fluorolytic sol–gel synthesis. Depending on the synthesis route, the samples show different particle sizes, according to SEM imaging. The crystal structures of barium acetate fluoride, strontium acetate fluoride, and lead acetate fluoride (BaFIJCH3COO), SrFIJCH3COO) and PbFIJCH3COO)) were solved from X-ray powder diffraction data. The structure solution is backed by the results from 19F MAS NMR, FT IR data, and thermal analysis. The calculated chemical shifts of the 19F MAS NMR spectra coincide well with the measured ones. It turns out that the grinding conditions have a remarkable influence on the mechanochemical synthesis and its products. Our systematic study also indicates a strong influence of the atomic radii of Ca, Sr, Ba, and Pb on the success of the syntheses.
The very strong Lewis acid aluminium chlorofluo-ride (ACF) was loaded with anhydrous HF. The interactionbetween the surface of the catalyst and HF was investigatedusing a variety of characterization methods, which revealed he formation of polyfluorides. Moreover, the reactivity ofthe HF-loaded ACF towards the hydrofluorination of alkyneswas studied.
New fluorinated alkaline earth metal−organic frameworks were successfully synthesized by milling of metal hydroxides M(OH)2 with tetrafluoroterephthalic acid H2 pBDC-F4. Both calcium- and strontium-tetrafluoroterephthalates are tetrahydrated, while the barium tetrafluoroterephthalate is free of coordinating water molecules. The two isomorphic structures Ca(pBDC-F4)·4H2O and Sr(pBDC-F4)·4H2O were solved from the powder diffraction data by ab initio structure determination and subsequent Rietveld refinement. The products were thoroughly characterized by elemental analysis, thermal analysis, magicangle spinning NMR, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy imaging, and Brunauer−Emmett−Teller measurements. Our findings suggest that the mechanochemical synthesis route is a promising approach for the preparation of new fluorinated alkaline earth metal−organic frameworks.
As the most electronegative element, fluorine has a strong influence on material properties such as absorption behaviour or chemical and thermal stability. Fluorine can be easily integrated into coordination polymers (CPs) via a fluorinated acetate, here trifluoroacetate in Ba(CF3COO)2, or directly via a metal fluorine bond (BaF(CH3COO)). In the present study both possibilities of fluorine integration were tested and their effect on structure and properties of barium coordination polymers was investigated in comparison with the non-fluorinated barium acetate (Ba(CH3COO)2). In addition to the study of their thermal behaviour and their decomposition temperature, the CPs structures were tested for their application as possible anode materials in lithium ion batteries and for their sorption of water and ammonia. The properties of the CPs can be traced back to the individual structural motifs and could thus trigger new design ideas for CPs in LIBs and/or catalysis.
A universal fast and easy access at room temperature to transparent sols of nanoscopic Eu3+ and Tb3+ doped CaF2, SrF2 and BaF2 particles via the fluorolytic sol–gel synthesis route is presented. Monodisperse quasi-spherical nanoparticles with sizes of 3–20 nm are obtained with up to 40% rare earth doping showing red or green luminescence. In the beginning luminescence quenching effects are only observed for the highest content, which demonstrates the unique and outstanding properties of these materials. From CaF2:Eu10 via SrF2:Eu10 to BaF2:Eu10 a steady increase of the luminescence intensity and lifetime occurs by a factor of ≈2; the photoluminescence quantum yield increases by 29 to 35% due to the lower phonon energy of the matrix. The fast formation process of the particles within fractions of seconds is clearly visualized by exploiting appropriate luminescence processes during the synthesis. Multiply doped particles are also available by this method. Fine tuning of the luminescence properties is achieved by variation of the Ca-to-Sr ratio. Co-doping with Ce3+ and Tb3+ results in a huge increase (>50 times) of the green luminescence intensity due to energy transfer Ce3+ → Tb3+. In this case, the luminescence intensity is higher for CaF2 than for SrF2, due to a lower spatial distance of the rare earth ions.
Two strontium-based dicarboxylate systems [Sr(oBDC-F4)(H2O)2] (1) and [{Sr(oBDC)(H2O)2)·H2O] (2) were synthesized mechanochemically via milling of Sr(OH)2·8H2O with tetrafluorophthalic acid (H2oBDC-F4) or phthalic acid (H2oBDC), respectively. The new structures were determined ab initio from the powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) data. Both compounds 1 and 2 crystallize in the monoclinic space group P21 /c as two-dimensional coordination polymers (2D-CPs). The determined structures were validated by extended X-ray absorption (EXAFS) data. Compounds 1 and 2 show different thermal stabilities. The fluorinated CP 1 is decomposed at 300 °C while the nonfluorinated CP 2 transforms into a new phase after thermal treatment at 400 °C. The two hydrated CPs exhibit small surface areas which increase after the thermal posttreatment for 1 but remains unchanged for the dehydrated sample of 2. Dynamic vapor sorption (DVS) experiments indicate that both the dehydrated and hydrated samples of 2 depict no significant differences in their adsorption isotherms. The DVS of water indicates that the phase transition after thermal posttreatment of 2 is irreversible.
New fluorinated coordination polymers were prepared mechanochemically by milling the alkaline earth metal hydroxides MII(OH)2·xH2O (MII: Ca, Sr) with tetrafluoroisophthalic acid (H2mBDC-F4). The structures of [{Ca(mBDC-F4)(H2O)2}·H2O] and [{Sr(mBDC-F4)(H2O)2}·H2O] were determined based on ab initio calculations and their powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) data. The compounds are isomorphous and crystallize in the orthorhombic space group P212121. The determined structures were validated by using extended X-ray absorption (EXAFS) data. The new materials were thoroughly characterized using elemental analysis, thermal analysis, magic angle spinning NMR, and attenuated total reflection-infrared spectroscopy. Further characterization methods such as BET, dynamic vapor sorption, and scanning electron microscopy imaging were also used. Our investigations indicate that mechanochemistry is an efficient method for preparing such materials.
Catalytic C–F bond activation reactions of mono- and polyfluoroalkanes at Lewis acidic amorphous aluminum chlorofluoride (ACF) are presented. The hydrogen sources Et3GeH or Et3SiH control the selectivity of the conversions. The immobilization of Et3GeH at ACF resulted in catalytic dehydrohalogenation reactions to yield olefins under very mild conditions. In contrast, if Et3SiH is immobilized at ACF, C–C coupling occured and the formation of Friedel–Crafts products was observed. MAS NMR spectroscopic studies revealed information about the surface binding of the substrates.
