The crystal structure of Tl2TeS3 (orthorhombic, Pnma, No. 62, Z = 4, Pearson code oP24, a = 815.5(2) pm, b = 1352.6(6) pm, c = 596.48(15) pm, 600 unique reflections with Io > 2σ(Io), R1 = 0.0541, wR2 = 0.0997, GOF = 0.891, T = 298(2) K) in a new structure type has been determined. It can be understood as a LaI2-like arrangement of thallium cations and thiotellurite anions TeS32-. With a direct band gap of 1.61 eV and an indirect band gap of 0.9 eV, Tl2TeS3 is a new material that might be useful for thermoelectrical applications. The materials band …


Phase Transition In Tl2teo3:  Influence And Origin Of The Thallium Lone Pair Distortion, Anja V. Mudring, Franziska Rieger Jan 2007

Phase Transition In Tl2teo3:  Influence And Origin Of The Thallium Lone Pair Distortion, Anja V. Mudring, Franziska Rieger

Anja V. Mudring

A new modification of thallium tellurite, β-Tl2TeO3, has been synthesized by methanolothermal reaction, and its phase transition has been studied by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. At a temperature of 440(10) °C an irreversible phase transition from a monoclinic structure (β-Tl2TeO3:  P21/c (No. 14), Z = 4, a = 8.9752(18) Å, b = 4.8534(6) Å, c = 11.884(2) Å, β = 109.67(2)°, V = 487.47(15) Å3 at 25 °C) to an orthorhombic structure (α-Tl2TeO3:  Pban (No. 50), Z = 8, a = 16.646(2) Å, b = 11.094(2) Å, c = 5.2417(8) Å, V = 968.0(3) Å3 at 25 °C) is observed. Both …

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.
