Yttrium(Iii) Oxomolybdates(Vi) As Potential Host Materials For Luminescence Applications: An Investigation Of Eu3+-Doped Y2[Moo4]3 And Y2[Moo4]2[Mo2o7], Sonja Laufer, Sabine Strobel, Thomas Schleid, Joanna Cybinska, Anja V. Mudring, Ingo Hartenbach Jan 2013

Yttrium(Iii) Oxomolybdates(Vi) As Potential Host Materials For Luminescence Applications: An Investigation Of Eu3+-Doped Y2[Moo4]3 And Y2[Moo4]2[Mo2o7], Sonja Laufer, Sabine Strobel, Thomas Schleid, Joanna Cybinska, Anja V. Mudring, Ingo Hartenbach

Anja V. Mudring

Two ternary yttrium(III) oxomolybdates(VI) are investigated, both structurally and spectroscopically. The crystal structure of Y2[MoO4]3 was solved at room temperature in the orthorhombic space group Pba2 (a = 1030.21(3), b = 1032.41(3), c = 1057.25(3) pm, Z = 4). In the unit cell, three discrete ortho-oxomolybdate(VI) units [MoO4]2− and two Y3+ cations, both with CN = 7 featuring a monocapped trigonal-prismatic oxygen environment, can be distinguished. Y2[MoO4]2[Mo2O7] crystallizes monoclinically in the space group P21/c (a = 681.85(2), b = 959.13(3), c = 1052.99(3) pm, β = 105.586(2)°) with two formula units per unit cell. In this compound the anionic environment …

Phosphate Protected Fluoride Nano-Phosphors, Joanna Cybinska, Chantal Lorbeer, Anja V. Mudring

Anja V. Mudring

A fast and easy 2-in-1 step microwave reaction procedure to phosphate coated nanofluorides allows for the formation of phosphate protected fluoride nanoparticles from simple lanthanide precursors in ionic liquids. The phosphate shell efficiently prevents the fluoride particle from decomposition in an atmosphere (containing oxygen and water) at elevated temperatures.

Anja V. Mudring

A series of mercury(II) ionic liquids, [Cnmim][HgX3], where [Cnmim] = n-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium with n = 3, 4 and X = Cl, Br, have been synthesized following two different synthetic approaches, and structurally characterized by means of single-crystal X-ray structure analysis ([C3mim][HgCl3] (1), Cc (No. 9), Z = 4, a = 16.831(4) Å, b = 10.7496(15) Å, c = 7.4661(14) Å, β = 105.97(2)°, V = 1298.7(4) Å3 at 298 K; [C4mim][HgCl3] (2), Cc (No. 9), Z = 4, a = 17.3178(28) Å, b = 10.7410(15) Å, c = 7.4706(14) Å, β = 105.590(13)°, V = 1338.5(4) Å3 at 170 K; [C3mim][HgBr3] …


Ultrasound-Assisted Synthesis Of Mesoporous Β-Ni(Oh)2 And Nio Nano-Sheets Using Ionic Liquids, Tarek Alammar, Osama Shekhah, Jonas Wohlgemuth, Anja V. Mudring Jan 2012

Ultrasound-Assisted Synthesis Of Mesoporous Β-Ni(Oh)2 And Nio Nano-Sheets Using Ionic Liquids, Tarek Alammar, Osama Shekhah, Jonas Wohlgemuth, Anja V. Mudring

Anja V. Mudring

Via a facile ultrasound synthesis from nickel acetate and sodium hydroxide with ionic liquids as the solvent and template it is possible to obtain nano-β-Ni(OH)2 of various dimensionalities depending on the reaction conditions with the ionic liquid (IL) being the most important factor. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) imaging showed β-Ni(OH)2 to form as nanosheets, nanorods and nanospheres depending on the IL. ILs with strong to moderate hydrogen bonding capability like [C3mimOH][Tf2N] (1-(3-hydroxypropyl)-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonylamide)), [C4mim][Tf2N] (1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonylamide)) and [Edimim][Tf2N] (1-ethyl-2,3-diemethylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonylamide)) lead to the formation of nanosheets whilst [Py4][Tf2N] (butyl-pyridinium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonylamide)) leads to nanoparticles and [N1888][Tf2N] (methyltrioctylammonium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonylamide)) to nanorods. Subsequent …


Structures, Electronic Properties And Solid State Luminescence Of Cu(I) Iodide Complexes With 2,9-Dimethyl-1,10-Phenanthroline And Aliphatic Aminomethylphosphines Or Triphenylphosphine, Radoslaw Starosta, Malgorzata Puchalska, Joanna Cybinska, Maciej Barys, Anja V. Mudring Jan 2011

Anja V. Mudring

The luminescent complexes of triphenylphosphine and two interesting aminomethylphosphines: P(CH2N(CH2CH2)2NCH3)3 and P(CH2N(CH2CH2)2O)3 with copper(I) iodide and 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (dmp): [CuI(dmp)PPh3], [CuI(dmp)P(CH2N(CH2CH2)2NCH3)3] and [CuI(phen)P(CH2N(CH2CH2)2O)3] are presented in this work. These complexes were characterized in solution by means of NMR spectroscopy and their structures were crystallographically determined in the solid state. All complexes crystallize as the discrete dimers bound by π-stacking interactions between dmp rings. The coordination geometry about the Cu(I) centre is pseudo-tetrahedral showing small flattening and large rocking distortions. The investigated compounds exhibit intense orange photoluminescence in the solid state (emission peaks at r.t.: λmax = 588–592 nm; τ = 1.7–2.2 …


A New Open-Framework Iron Borophosphate From Ionic Liquids: Kfe[Bp2o8(Oh)], Guangmei Wang, Anja V. Mudring Jan 2011

A New Open-Framework Iron Borophosphate From Ionic Liquids: Kfe[Bp2o8(Oh)], Guangmei Wang, Anja V. Mudring

Anja V. Mudring

A new open-framework iron borophosphate, KFe[BP2O8(OH)], has been obtained by ionothermal synthesis from KH2PO4, FeCl3∙4H2O, H3BO3 and [C4mpyr]Br (1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium bromide). Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis shows that KFe[BP2O8(OH)] (monoclinic, P21/c, a = 9.372(2) Å , b = 8.146(2)Å , c = 9.587(2) Å, β = 101.18(3)°, V = 718.0(2)Å3 and Z = 4) has a three-dimensional (3-D) framework structure composed by {Fe(III)O5(OH)} octahedra as well as {BO3(OH)} and {PO4} tetrahedra. As anionic structural sub-unit, KFe[BP2O8(OH)], contains an infinite open-branched {[BP2O8(OH)]4-} chain which is formed by alternating {BO3(OH)} and {PO4} tetrahedra. {Fe(III)O5(OH)} octahedra share common O corners with five phosphate tetrahedra and …

(B15c5)Bii3(I2): Molecular Benzo-15-Crown-5―Bii3 Complexes Bridged By Iodine Molecules To Chains, Christoph Fiolka, Mark Richter, Ingo Pantenburg, Anja V. Mudring, Gerd Meyer

Anja V. Mudring

The reaction of bismuth triiodide with iodine and benzo-15-crown-5 in ethanol/dichloromethane yielded red single crystals of (b15c5)BiI3(I2) (monoclinic, P21/c (no. 14), a = 1376.9(1), b = 1172.7(1), c = 1700.2(2) pm, b = 115.197(6), V = 2484.1(4)·106 pm3, Z = 4). Neutral pseudo-octahedral complexes (b15c5)BiI3 are connected by secondary bonding interactions via iodine molecules to chains. Electronic structure calculations of the neutral complex (b15c5)BiI3 reveal that the compound can indeed be described as b15c5 interacting with a molecular BiI3 unit. However, bonding has to be mainly electrostatic as the interactions of the bismuth 6s lone pair with the 2p orbitals …


Europium(Iii) Fluoride Nanoparticles From Ionic Liquids: Structural, Morphological, And Luminescent Properties, Chantal Lorbeer, Joanna Cybinska, Anja V. Mudring Jan 2011

Europium(Iii) Fluoride Nanoparticles From Ionic Liquids: Structural, Morphological, And Luminescent Properties, Chantal Lorbeer, Joanna Cybinska, Anja V. Mudring

Anja V. Mudring

Inorganic luminescent materials (phosphors) find widespread scientific and industrial applications. For potential applications, nanoscale phosphors are favored because of the reduced scattering and the possibility to miniaturize devices. In such materials, the optical behavior is strongly dependent on impurities or defects in the crystal lattice, so that a well-defined reaction protocol with fixed parameters is compulsory to ensure the quality of the obtained material. The fast and facile conversion of europium acetate via microwave radiation with and in different tetrafluoroborate ionic liquids to oxygen-free, hexagonal EuF3 nanoparticles is investigated in detail. The study of the influence of the different reaction …

Anja V. Mudring

The most impressive feature of the crystal structure of IrPr6Cl11 is chains of face-sharing {Pr6} octahedra that encapsulate, alternatingly, iridium atoms and chloride ions, according to the formulation {(Ir,Cl)Pr6}Cl10. An alternative description of the structure is the connection of isolated {IrPr6} clusters that are surrounded in a mixed {ZR6}Xi12/{ZR6}Xi8 type by chlorido ligands with a rather complex connectivity, {IrPr6}(Cli−a−a4/3Cla−i−a8/3Cli−a6/2Cla−i6/2)e(Cli−i2/2)f, to a three-dimensional structure of tetragonally packed cluster-complex chains.


Seven-Coordinate Ruthenium Atoms Sequestered In Praseodymium Clusters In The Chloride {Rupr3}Cl3, Nina Hermann, Anja V. Mudring, Gerd Meyer Jan 2008

Seven-Coordinate Ruthenium Atoms Sequestered In Praseodymium Clusters In The Chloride {Rupr3}Cl3, Nina Hermann, Anja V. Mudring, Gerd Meyer

Anja V. Mudring

The first example for an endohedral transition-metal atom (Ru) sequestered in a seven-coordinate surrounding of rare-earth metal atoms (Pr) has been found for {RuPr3}Cl3. The monocapped trigonal prisms of Pr atoms share two rectangular faces, forming a zigzag chain with Ru−Ru distances of 308 pm. Intracluster bonding is dominated by Ru−Pr bonding with very little Ru−Ru bonding.

Ionic Liquids With Perfluorinated Alkoxyaluminates, Tudor Timofte, Anja V. Mudring, Slawomir Pitula

Anja V. Mudring

Ionic liquids with the weakly coordinating perfluoroalkoxyaluminate anions, Al(ORF)4-, are obtained by a metathesis reaction of LiAl(ORF)4 and [bmim]Cl or [bmpyr]Cl in high yields. The compounds [bmim][Al(hfip)4] and [bmpyr][Al(hfip)4] have surprisingly low viscosities at elevated temperatures (60 °C) and an exceptionally high electrochemical window, which might render them useful for certain applications.


Cluster-Type Basic Lanthanide Iodides [M6(Μ6-O)(Μ3-Oh)8(H2o)24]I8(H2o)8 (M = Nd, Eu, Tb, Dy), Anja V. Mudring, Tudor Timofte, Arash Babai Jan 2006

Inorganic Supramolecular Host Architectures:  [(M@18c6)2][Tli4]·2h2o, M = 0.5 Tl, (Nh4,Nh3), (H3o,H2o), Franziska Rieger, Anja V. Mudring Jan 2005

Inorganic Supramolecular Host Architectures:  [(M@18c6)2][Tli4]·2h2o, M = 0.5 Tl, (Nh4,Nh3), (H3o,H2o), Franziska Rieger, Anja V. Mudring

Anja V. Mudring

The compounds [(M@18c6)2][TlI4]·2H2O, M = Tl, (NH4,NH3), (H3O,H2O) (cubic, Fd3̄; a = 1481.00 pm, for M = 0.5 Tl, a = 1304.65 pm for M = (NH4,NH3), a = 1313.67 pm for M = (H3O,H2O)) can be obtained from solution in the presence of traces of transition metal halides (like copper and mercury halides). Apparently the transition metal cations work as a template in the form of tetrahedral [MX4] units during the synthesis of the supramolecular host architecture. That the compounds are versatile host lattices for tetrahedrally coordinated transition metal units becomes obvious by the large group of known host−guest …


The Quadrupole Moment Of The 3/2+ Nuclear Ground State Of Au197 From Electric Field Gradient Relativistic Coupled Cluster And Density-Functional Theory Of Small Molecules And The Solid State, Peter Schwerdtfeger, Radovan Bast, Michael C.L.

The Quadrupole Moment Of The 3/2+ Nuclear Ground State Of Au197 From Electric Field Gradient Relativistic Coupled Cluster And Density-Functional Theory Of Small Molecules And The Solid State, Peter Schwerdtfeger, Radovan Bast, Michael C.L. Gerry, Christoph R. Jacobs, Martin Jansen, Vladimir Kello, Anja V. Mudring, Andrzej J. Sadlej, Trond Saue, Tilo Sohnel, Friedrich E. Wagner

Anja V. Mudring

An attempt is made to improve the currently accepted muonic value for the Au197 nuclear quadrupole moment [+0.547(16)×10−28m2] for the 3/2+ nuclear ground state obtained by Powers et al. [Nucl. Phys.A230, 413 (1974)]. From both measured Mössbauer electric quadrupole splittings and solid-state density-functional calculations for a large number of gold compounds a nuclear quadrupole moment of +0.60×10−28m2 is obtained. Recent Fourier transform microwave measurements for gas-phase AuF, AuCl, AuBr, and AuI give accurate bond distances and nuclear quadrupole coupling constants for the Au197isotope. However, four-component relativistic density-functional calculations for these molecules yield unreliable results for the Au197 nuclear quadrupole moment. …

Anhydrous Praseodymium Salts In The Ionic Liquid [Bmpyr][Tf2n]:  Structural And Optical Properties Of [Bmpyr]4[Pri6][Tf2n] And [Bmyr]2[Pr(Tf2n)5], Arash Babai, Anja V. Mudring

Anja V. Mudring

Purposely designed ionic liquids can be excellent solvents for spectroscopic studies of rare earth compounds. Absorption and emission spectra of anhydrous PrI3 and Pr(Tf2N)3 in the ionic liquid 1,1-n-butyl-methylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)amide, [bmpyr][Tf2N], at room temperature are presented together with the emission spectra of solid [bmpyr]2[Pr(Tf2N)5] and [bmpyr]4[PrI6][Tf2N]. After excitation into the 3P1 level, remarkable luminescence not only from the 1D2 level but also from the 3P0 and even from the 3P1 level is observed. Amazingly in the case of the solid compounds and even more astonishing for a solution of Pr(Tf2N)3 in [bmpyr][Tf2N] the strongest luminescence transitions start from the 3P0 …


Lone Pair Effect In Thallium(I) Macrocyclic Compounds, Anja V. Mudring, Franziska Rieger Jan 2005

Lone Pair Effect In Thallium(I) Macrocyclic Compounds, Anja V. Mudring, Franziska Rieger

Anja V. Mudring

The role of the inert (lone) pair of electrons in thallium(I) salts is studied by comparison of the compounds [Tl@18-crown-6]+X- (X = TlI4, ClO4) and [K@18-crown-6]+ClO4-. In contrast to common introductory chemistry textbook opinions, the paradigm that s−p hybridization is a prerequisite for an inert electron pair to become stereochemically active in compounds of the heavier main group elements has to be revised. Instead, an inert pair of electrons is expected to become stereochemically involved whenever it is forced to participate in antibonding orbital interactions with its surroundings, and there is the possibility for a structural distortion that minimizes these …


Localized Charge Transfer In Csau·Nh3:  1h And 133cs Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, Steffen Kramer, Michael Mehring, Anja V. Mudring, Martin Jansen Jan 2003

Localized Charge Transfer In Csau·Nh3:  1h And 133cs Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, Steffen Kramer, Michael Mehring, Anja V. Mudring, Martin Jansen

Anja V. Mudring

We report results from 1H and 133Cs nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) studies on CsAu·NH3. This compound has recently been synthesized and belongs to the family of ammoniates. The intense blue color of the material, which is not observed in the parent compounds, suggests that a charge-transfer electronic state is formed. The 1H NMR line shape and relaxation rates are found to be very similar to the corresponding properties in pure ammonia. However, the 133Cs-NMR properties of CsAu·NH3 strongly deviate from the corresponding ones in CsAu, and we show that the former can be interpreted consistently within a localized charge distribution …
