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 …


(Crcl3)3@2[C4mim][Ome]—Molecular Cluster-Type Chromium(Iii) Chloride Stabilized In A Salt Matrix, Bert Mallick, Harald Kierspel, Anja V. Mudring Jan 2008

In [C4mim]2[CrCl3]3[OMe]2 molecular (CrCl3)3 units are embedded in a salt matrix of [C4mim][OMe]. This structural subunit can be viewed as a trapped molecular polymorph of CrCl3. Experimental and theoretical investigations indicate that, in contrast to bulk CrCl3, metal−metal bonds are formed at low temperatures.


Rare-Earth Iodides In Ionic Liquids:  The Crystal Structure Of [Set3]3[Lni6] (Ln = Nd, Sm), Anja V. Mudring, Arash Babai Jan 2005

Rare-Earth Iodides In Ionic Liquids:  The Crystal Structure Of [Set3]3[Lni6] (Ln = Nd, Sm), Anja V. Mudring, Arash Babai

Anja V. Mudring

Crystals of [SEt3]3[LnI6] (Ln = Nd, Sm) were obtained by the reaction of LnI2 with the ionic liquid [SEt3][Tf2N] [Tf2N = bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide]. The compounds are characterized by octahedral [LnI6]3- units that are surrounded by a distorted cube of triethylsulfonium cations.


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 Jan 2005

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

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 …
