Single Crystal Structure of the Divalent Europium Chloroapatite Eu5(PO4)3Cl
نویسندگان
چکیده
The chloroapatite Eu5(PO4)3Cl has been synthesized by a solid-state reaction route using a salt flux. Its structure has been solved and refined from single crystal X-ray data: apatite type, P63/m, a = 988.36(4), c = 720.32(3) pm, Z = 2, R(F) = 0.021 and wR(F2) = 0.063 for 748 unique reflections and 40 variables. The Eu5(PO4)3Cl structure contains isolated (PO4)3− tetrahedra and two crystallographically independent divalent europium sites. The Eu12+ ion at the 4 f position is located in a distorted tri-capped trigonal prism whereas the Eu22+ ion at the 6h position is located in a strongly distorted square anti-prism. The chloride ions have octahedral europium coordination (307 pm Eu–Cl).

The hydrothermal synthesis of two new inorganic-organic hybrid materials in which PDA (PDA = 1,10-phenanthroline-2,9-dicarboxylate) is connected to a well-defined Keggin-type polyoxometalate anion (POM) and a Ln(III) cation (POM = [SiW12O40]4−; Ln = Eu3+ (1), Er3+ (2)), are reported. These hybrids are characterized by elemental analyses, IR spectra and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Single-c...
متن کاملSynthesis of trace element bearing single crystals of Chlor-Apatite (Ca5(PO4)3Cl) using the flux growth method
We present a new strategy on how to synthesize trace-element bearing (REE, Sr) chlorapatites Ca5(PO4)3Cl using the flux growth method. Synthetic apatites were up to several mm long, light blue in colour. The apatites were characterized using XRD, electron microprobe and laser ablation ICP-MS (LA-ICPMS) techniques and contained several hundred μg/g La, Ce, Pr, Sm, Gd and Lu and about 1700 μg/g S...
متن کاملElectronically driven structural transitions in A10(PO4)6F2 apatites (A = Ca, Sr, Pb, Cd and Hg).
It is shown that there is a dynamic lattice instability in the aristotype P63/m structure of A10(PO4)6F2 apatites containing divalent A-site Cd or Hg cations with (n - 1)d(10)ns(0) electronic configurations. The distortion to a low-symmetry P\bar{1} triclinic structure is driven by an electronic mechanism rather than from ionic size mismatch. Our theoretical work provides key insights into the ...

New nickel-deficient stannides Eu2Ni2−xSn5 were synthesized by induction melting of the elements in sealed tantalum tubes. The solid solution was studied by X-ray powder diffraction and two crystal structures were refined on the basis of X-ray diffractometer data: Cmcm, a = 466.03(4), b = 3843.1(8), c = 462.92(9) pm, wR2 = 0.0469, 692 F2 values, 39 variables for Eu2Ni1.49(1)Sn5 and a = 466.11(9...

Remediation of lead (Pb)-contaminated sites with phosphate amendments is one of the best studied and cost-effective methods for in situ immobilization. In this treatment, a very stable mineral, pyromorphite Pb5(PO4)3Cl, is formed. Several studies propose to improve this treatment method with the addition of phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (PSB). The effect of bacteria on solubilization of pyrom...
