The crystal structure of (NpO₂)₂(OOC)₂C₆H₄·4H₂O [rhombic cell: a = 15.937(3), b = 26.922(5), c = 8.020(2) Å, space group Pbcn, Z = 8, V = 3441.0(12) ų, d _calc = 2.988 g cm^{- 3}, CAD4, MoK , graphite monochromator, 2934 independent reflections; R ₁ = 0.0352, wR ₂ = 0.0951] was studied. The structure consists of NpO₂ ⁺ cations, H₄C₆(COO)₂ ^{2 -} anions, and molecules of coordinated and crystallization water. The crystal lattice involves neutral layers [(NpO₂)₂(OOC)₂C₆H₄(H₂O)₃] _n parallel to the {101} plane. The dioxocations in these layers are bonded to each other to form cationic networks [the Np···Np distance is 3.911(1)-4.202(1) Å]. The coordination polyhedra of Np(1) and Np(2) are pentagonal bipyramids (CN 7). The point group of the neptunyl(V) groups is close to D _h. These groups are bidentate ligands in the cation-cation interaction. The Np = O bond lengths are 1.852(6) [Np(1)-O(1)], 1.849(7) [Np(1)-O(2)], 1.845(7) [Np(2)-O(3)], and 1.841(7) Å [Np(2)-O(4)]; the O = Np = O bond angles are 178.6(3)° [O(2)-Np(1)-O(1)] and 177.4(3)° [O(3)-Np(2)-O(4)]. The equatorial plane of the Np(1) bipyramid consists of two oxygen atoms of adjacent Np(2)O₂ ⁺ dioxocations, two water molecules, and a single oxygen atom of the phthalate anion. The equatorial plane of the Np(2) bipyramid consists of two oxygen atoms of adjacent Np(1)O₂ ⁺ dioxocations, two oxygen atom of the phthalate anion, and a single water molecule. The bond lengths in the equatorial plane of the bipyramid lie in the following ranges: Np-Oyl 2.373(7)-2.437(7) Å (average 2.397 Å) , Np-Ophth 2.360(7)-2.474(7) Å (average 2.431 Å), and Np-Owater 2.534(8)-2.558(9) Å (average 2.544 Å). The phthalate anions are tridentate bridging ligands binding neptunium atoms only within a single cationic network.     

Complexes with substituted 2,5-dihydroxy-p-benzoquinones: The inclusion compounds [Y(H2O)3]2 (C6Cl2O4)3·6.6H2O and [Y(H2O)3]2 (C6Br2O4)3·6H2O

Single crystal of [Y(H₂O)₃]₂ (C₆Br₂O₄)₃·6H₂O and [Y(H₂O)₃]₂ (C₆Cl₂O₄)₃·6.6H₂O were grown in aqueous silicagel. The compounds are in principle isostructural. In Y chloranilate one additional water site is occupied as verified by X-ray single crystal structure analysis. Y³⁺ is nine-coordinated by three water molecules and six oxygen atoms of the bischelating (C₆X₂O₄)²⁻ ions (XCl, Br). The coordination polyhedron is an only slightly distorted tri-capped trigonal prism. The connection of Y³⁺ with the dianions leads to infinite, corrugated layers. The layer stacking yields cage-like cavities in which water molecules are accomodated. Hydrogen bonds interlink adjacent layers. Further hydrogen bonds involve the entrapped water molecules. DSC measurements indicated a complicated dehydration process which caused right at the start destruction of the single crystals.     

Synthesis and properties of poly (organophosphazenes) ionomers [NP(HNC6H5)2−(x+y)(HNC6H4SO3H) x (HNC6H4SO3Li) y ] n

Poly(anilino sulphamicphosphazenes) such as [NP(HNC₆H₅)_2–x (HNC₆H₄SO₃H) _x ] _n for polymer (I) x=0.3 and for polymer (II) x=0.8 were prepared by the reaction of poly(anilinophosphazene) [NP(HNC₆H₅)₂] _n and sulphonic chloride HSO₃Cl in tetrachloroethane solvent several timeS. Also, H protons in the polymer (I) and (II) were prepared from lithum hydroxide in aqueous solution. It was found, by chemical analysis, that the product prepared with (I) and (II) had compositions such as [NP(HNC₆H₅)_1.7 (HNC₆H₄SO₃H)_0.1(HNC₆H₄SO₃Li)_0.2] _n (III) and [NP(HNC₆H₅)_1.2(HN-C₆H₄SO₃Li)_0.8] _n (IV). Also, the resistivity of products (III) and (IV) were determined and found to be 3.3×10⁷ and 1.5×10⁷ cm^–1, respectively.     

Crystal structure of mixed-valent Np(IV)/Np(V) chloride, [Np(NpO2)6(H2O)8(OH)Cl9]·H2O

A new mixed-valent Np(IV)/Np(V) chloride, [Np(NpO₂)₆(H₂O)₈(OH)Cl₉]·H₂O, was synthesized, and its crystal structure was determined. The crystals consist of NpO ₂ ⁺ and Np⁴⁺ cations, of Cl^? and OH^? anions, of coordination-bonded water molecules, and of water molecules of crystallization. The Np(V) atom, Np(1), has pentagonal bipyramidal coordination surrounding with O atoms in the apical position and with the equatorial plane formed by three Cl^? anions, O atom of the adjacent NpO ₂ ⁺ cation, and O atom of water molecule. The mutual coordination of the neptunyl(V) ions, cation-cation (CC) interaction, links the Np(1) coordination polyhedra via common vertices into rings around sixfold axes, with the Np(V)?Np(V) distance in these fragments of 4.276 Å. The ring fragments are linked with each other via common equatorial edges of the bipyramids into layers perpendicular to c-axis. The Np(IV) atom, Np(2), has coordination surrounding in the form of tricapped trigonal prism (CN 9) with the tetragonal lateral faces formed by the O atoms of the NpO ₂ ⁺ cations and the capping positions occupied by the O atoms of two water molecules and one hydroxy group. The Np(2) atoms act in CC interactions as coordination center for six NpO ₂ ⁺ ions, with the Np(IV)?Np(V) distance of 4.183 Å. The Np(2) polyhedra are arranged in the crystal between layers of the Np(1) coordination polyhedra, linking them with each other.

Complexation of An(VI) (An = U, Np, Pu), and Np(V) with 2,3-pyridinedicarboxylic (quinolinic, H₂Quin) acid in aqueous solutions was studied. Np(V) can form 1: 1 and 1: 2 complexes, and An(VI), also 1: 3 complexes (at pH ? 6 and [H₂Quin] ? 0.1 M). Quinolinate ion can coordinate to actinide(VI) and (V) ions in solutions in different modes. The apparent stability constants of the complexes in a wide pH range and the concentration stability constants of the An(VI) complexes were measured. In the series from Pu(VI) to U(VI), the stability of the complexes slightly increases. Crystalline complexes [UO₂(HQuin)₂], [(NpO₂)₂(HQuin)₂(HL)₂]·2H₂O (HL is N-protonated 2-hydroxypyridine-3-carboxylic acid anion), and [PuO₂Quin(H₂O)] were synthesized, and their structures were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Different types of coordination of quinolinate ions to actinide ions are also observed in the crystalline complexes.

Abstract

A new molecular complex of [60]fullerene with composition 2(C₆₀)·2(TMTSF)·(C₆H₆) was synthesized. The structure and composition of the complex were found by an x-ray study. Crystal data: 2(C₆₀)2(C₁₀H₁₂Se₄)(C₆H₆), M = 2415.4, monoclinic, a = 19.388(4), b = 13.410(2), c = 32.467(6) A, β = 92.71(2)°, V = 8432(3) [Adot]³, space group P2₁/n, Z = 4, d_calc = 1.903 g/cm³, R = 0.0606. The crystal structure was shown to be layered with the alternating layers of three types. Two of them have the same composition (C₆₀, TMTSF) but different interorientation of molecules in a layer and different number of shortened contacts C…C and C…Se. The third layer consists of benzene molecules. The energy of intermolecular interactions C₆₀…. TMTSF was estimated by ab initio calculations. The TMTSF molecule has a “boat” conformation.

Synthesis and crystal structure of a new Np(V) oxalate, Na4(NpO2)2(C2O4)3·6H2O

A new oxalate complex, Na₄(NpO₂)₂(C₂O₄)₃·6H₂O, with the Np:C₂O₄ ratio of 2:3 was synthesized and studied by single crystal X-ray diffraction. In the crystal, the NpO ₂ ⁺ cations and oxalate anions are bound in open networks [(NpO₂)₂(C₂O₄)₃] _n ^4n- parallel to the bc plane. The Na(1) cations are accommodated in large voids of the neptunyl oxalate networks with the formation of crimped mixed-cation layers of the composition [Na₂(NpO₂)₂(C₂O₄)₃] _n ^2n- . The negative charge of the layers is compensated by the Na(2) cations arranged between the layers. The Np atoms have a pentagonal bipyramidal coordination surrounding with the equatorial plane formed by the oxygen atoms of three oxalate anions. The structure contains tridentate-bridging and tetradentate-bridging oxalate anions.     

Reaction of Cd(NO3)2·4H2O with 4,4'–bipyridine (bpy) in MeOH solvent: synthesis and characterization of T-shaped [Cd(bpy)1.5(NO3)2]·3H2O,square grid [Cd(bpy)2(H2O)2](NO3)2·4H2O and linear polymeric [Cd(bpy)(H2O)2(NO3)2]

The influence of concentration of water and metal salt in the reaction between Cd(NO₃)₂·4H₂O and 4,4′–bipyridine in MeOH has been studied and three compounds namely, T-shaped [Cd(bpy)_1.5(NO₃)₂]·3H₂O, 1 square grid [Cd(bpy)₂(H₂O)₂](NO₃)₂ 4H₂O, 2 and one dimensional linear polymer, [Cd(bpy)(H₂O)₂(NO₃)₂], 3 were isolated quantitatively in this process. Compound 1 forms in MeOH at high dilution of the metal salt (5.0 mg/mL or less) and for the metal-to-ligand ratio 1:(1.5–2.0). Compound 2 forms exclusively in the concentration range, 17–33% for water in MeOH by volume and 12–28 mg/mL for the metal salt of the solution. Outside these limits, mixtures of 2 and 3 were isolated. For 1:1 ratio of metal salt to bpy, the linear polymer, 3 was obtained in major quantity and its formation was found to be independent of concentration of water or the metal salt. Compounds 1 and 2 have been characterized by X-ray crystallography. On heating all the compounds decompose through a common intermediate [Cd(bpy)(NO₃)₂] and finally to CdO as monitored by TG.     

Mechanism of decomposition of UO2(NO3)2·6H2O + Fe(NO3)3·9H2O mixture under the action of microwave radiation

Products of decomposition of the UO₂(NO₃)₂·6H₂O + Fe(NO₃)₃·9H₂O mixture under the action of microwave radiation (MWR) were studied by thermal gravimetric, X-ray phase, and chemical analyses. The results obtained were compared to the published data for various U and Fe compounds. The final products of decomposition of the UO₂(NO₃)₂·6H₂O + Fe(NO₃)₃·9H₂O mixture under the action of MWR for 3?C5 min (the maximal temperature of the process, equal to 140?C150°, is attained within 2?C3 min of irradiation), apart from gaseous products, are UO₂(OH)NO₃, UO₃, and Fe₂O₃. The action of MWR on the UO₂(NO₃)₂·6H₂O + Fe(NO₃)₃·9H₂O mixture under the examined conditions does not lead to the formation of uranyl ferrite.     

Crystal structure of a double Np(V) ammonium propionate, NH4[(NpO2)3(C2H5COO)4(H2O)]·3H2O

The structure of NH₄[(NpO₂)₃(C₂H₅COO)₄(H₂O)]·3H₂O was studied by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The single crystals were prepared by hydrothermal synthesis. In the structure, there are three crystallographically independent Np atoms with different equatorial surrounding. All of them have CN 7; the coordination polyhedron is a distorted pentagonal bipyramid. Each NpO ₂ ⁺ cation is bonded to four other cations, acting simultaneously as a bidentate ligand and a coordination center for two other dioxocations. The cation-cation interactions result in formation of trigonal-hexagonal cationic networks.     

Complexes with substituted 2,5-dihydroxy-p-benzoquinones: AE[C6(C2H5)2O4]·3H2O (AE=Ca,Sr, Ba)

Single crystals of AE[C₆(C₂H₅)₂O₄]·3H₂O belonging to space group P2₁2₁2₁ were grown in aqueous silicagel (AE=Ca, Sr) and in aqueous solution (AE=Ba), respectively. AE²⁺ is coordinated by four oxygen atoms of two bis-chelating [C₆(C₂H₅)₂O₄]²⁻ ions, thus forming infinite, corrugated chains extending along [010]. The coordination polyhedron is completed by additional water molecules. The coordination sphere is different for the three different AE²⁺ ions yielding CN increasing from Ca²⁺ to Ba²⁺. The principle features of the crystal structure, however, remain unchanged. Adjacent chains are interlinked by hydrogen bonds between water molecules of the coordination sphere and the oxygen atoms of the [C₆(C₂H₅)₂O₄]²⁻ ion.

The reaction of an aqueous solution of lithium vanadate with hydrazinium sulfate results in a dark-colored solution that reacts with magnesium sulfate heptahydrate, calcium sulfate dihydrate, and manganese(II) chloride tetrahydrate to yield single crystals of (N₂H₅)₂[M₃(H₂O)₁₂V₁₈O₄₂(EO₄)]·24H₂O (M = Mg, Ca) and Li₆[Mn₃(H₂O)₁₂V₁₈O₄₂(EO₄)]·24H₂O (E = V, S), respectively. The crystal structures of the new solids consist of interpenetrating three-dimensional networks of {V₁₈O₄₂(EO₄)} clusters interlinked via bridging {M(H₂O)₄} (M = Mg, Ca, Mn) groups. The voids in these structures are occupied by lattice water and ion exchangeable cations.     

Transformations of neat and heated struvite (MgNH4PO4⋅6H2O)

Struvite (MgNH₄PO₄?6H₂O) is the mineral phase of one of the urinary tract stones of humans and animals, besides being an important phase seen in waste water treatment and purification plants. Single-phase and highly crystalline struvite powders were synthesized in this study at room temperature in aqueous solutions containing dissolved salts of MgCl₂?6H₂O and (NH₄)₂HPO₄ at the Mg/P molar ratio of 1.00. As-synthesized, crystalline struvite powders (neat powders) completely transformed into cryptocrystalline apatitic calcium phosphate (Ap-CaP), in less than 72 h, when soaked in Ca-containing saline solutions at 37 °C. Moreover, crystalline struvite powders heated at temperatures from 90° to 200 °C became x-ray amorphous. Amorphous powders stirred for 4 h at room temperature in water containing dissolved diammonium hydrogen phosphate recrystallized back into struvite.
