Melting Point Suppression In New Lanthanoid(Iii) Ionic Liquids By Trapping Of Kinetic Polymorphs: An In Situsynchrotron Powder Diffraction Study, Anthony S.R. Chesman, Mei Yang, Bert Mallick, Tamsyn M. Ross, Ian A. Gass, Glen B. Deacon, Stuart R. Batten, Anja V. Mudring Jan 2012

he inclusion of lanthanoids in ionic liquids (ILs) offers an ideal route to incorporate their unique luminescent and magnetic properties into a bulk solution.1,2 However, lanthanoid compounds often exhibit a poor solubility in commonly used ILs because the IL anions are typically very weakly coordinating, prohibiting the simple dissolution of a lanthanoid salt by complexation to any beneficial extent.2 One strategy used to achieve high lanthanoid concentrations is to incorporate the lanthanoid cation directly into an anion that will form ILs.3 This is best accomplished by employing a ligand which readily coordinates to a lanthanoid atom and possesses properties, such …

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

Seven new coordination polymers ∞2[Ln(tfBDC)(NO3)(DMF)2]·DMF (Ln3+ = Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Dy, Er, Yb) with the perfluorinated linker ligand tetrafluoroterephthalate (tfBDC2−) have been synthesized. Their crystal structures consist of layers (44 nets) weakly bound by van der Waals interactions. In addition, differential thermal analysis/thermogravimetry (DTA/TG) curves, as well as absorption and emission spectra, have been recorded for all compounds.


Betaine Chloride-Betaine Tetrachloridoferrate(Iii)—An Ionic Liquid Related Crystal Structure Governed By The Pearson Concept, Anja V. Mudring, Tobias Backer Jan 2012

Betaine Chloride-Betaine Tetrachloridoferrate(Iii)—An Ionic Liquid Related Crystal Structure Governed By The Pearson Concept, Anja V. Mudring, Tobias Backer

Anja V. Mudring

The first betaine chloride tetrachloroidoferrate(III) double salt, (Hbet)2Cl[FeCl4] = (Hbet)Cl·(Hbet)[FeCl4], was obtained from a solution of betaine hydrochloride (HbetCl) and FeCl3∙6 H2O in water. The crystal structure (orthorhombic, Pbcm, a = 6.2717(13), b = 12.841(3), c = 25.693(5) Å, Z = 4) is characterized by layers of tetrachloridoferrate(III) anions separated by chloride-bridged, H-bond mediated cationic (Hbet) dimers. The hydrogen bonding network in the crystal structure follows the Pearson HSAB (hard acid-soft base) concept: According to the Pearson concept, the chloride anions show high affinity to the carboxyl group (hard acid and base), and the tetrachloroidoferrate(III) anion preferentially interacts with the …

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

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.
