Many phases appear in BaLn 2Mn 2O 7 family (Ln=rare earth) belonging to one of the Ruddlesden-Popper type compounds, depending upon the experimental conditions such as heating conditions when prepared and composition.

Synthesis and Structures of A Series of Novel Rare Earth Transition Metal Sulfates

Seven new rare earth transition metal sulfates were synthesized by hydrothermal reactions under conditions slightly above the critical point of water. Their crystal structures were determined from single crystal X-ray data. The compositions of the new compounds can be represented by two general formulae ： REM （OH） 3 （SO4） and RE2M （OH） 3 （SO4） 2F （H2O） with RE = Gd, Tb, Dy ; M = Ni, Cu. Three different crystal structure types were found for the formula REM （OH） 3 （SO4）. The structures of the new compounds all feature infinite chains of REOn coordination polyhedra, which are connected to chains of CuO6 or NiO6 octabedra. The limited size range of the rare earth cations observed in these compounds is most likely because of interactions between the octabedral chains and the chains of REOn polyhedra. The new compounds are closely related to the known yttrium transition metal sulfates.

Theoretical elucidation of rare earth extraction and separation by diglycolamides from crystal structures and DFT simulations

Diglycolamides(DGAs) show excellent application prospects for the extraction and separation of rare earth metals from highly radioactive liquid wastes and rare earth ores.The extraction ability of DGAs for rare earth ions in nitrate or chloride media increases with increasing atomic number of the rare earth metal.To understand the origin of this phenomenon,three binuclear crystals [Ln(TEDGA)_(3)][Ln(NO_(3))_(6)] of N,N,N’,N’-tetraethyldiglycolamide(TEDGA) with rare earth ions La(Ⅲ),Pr(Ⅲ) and Eu(III) were prepared and characterized crystallographically.The three complexes belong to the triclinic crystal system,P-1 space group.The bond lengths of Ln-O_(amide) are significantly shorter than those of Ln-O_(ether) in the same crystal.The Ln-O_(amide) and Ln-O_(enher) bond lengths gradually decrease with increasing atomic number of the rare earth ion.The dihedral angle formed by TEDGA and metal ions through the tridentate coordination gradually increases with increasing metal ion atomic number,tending toward the formation of sizeable planar coordination structures for the most massive rare earth ions.The structures of the compounds formed by the extractant and metal ion were optimized by means of DFT simulations.We find that the interaction between TEDGA and the rare earth ion is dominated by electrostatic interaction by analyzing binding energy,WBIs,Mulliken charge,natural electron configurations,and molecular orbital interaction.The covalent component of the Ln-O bonds of the complexes increases with increasing metal atomic number.The observed increase in extraction and separation capacity of diglycolamides for rare earth ions with increasing atomic number might be due to the formation of two fivemember rings by one tridentate ligand.The rare earth ions with large atomic numbers tend to form planar structures with large dihedral angles with DGA ligands.

Modifying Behaviors of Ultrasonic Irradiation and Rare Earth Metal Cerium on Electroless Co-Ni-B Alloy Coating

By plasma transmitting spectrograph,electron energy spectrometry,X-ray diffractometry,transmission electron microscopy and micro-hardometry,the effects of ultrasonic irradiation and rare earth metal cerium on the depositing speed,chemical composition,crystal structure and microhardness of electroless Co-Ni-B alloy coating were inspected and analyzed. The results show that cerium and ultrasonic irradiation can evidently raise the depositing speed of electroless Co-Ni-B alloy. The cerium content of electroless Co-Ni-B-Ce alloy coating also increases after ultrasonic irradiation applied to electroless Co-Ni-B plating process. Under the action of ultrasonic irradiation and rare metal cerium,the chemical composition of electroless Co-Ni-B alloy coating is changed. Electroless Co-Ni-B alloy with amorphous structure is transformed to electroless Co-Ni-B-Ce alloy with microcrystalline in general state and electroless Co-Ni-B-Ce alloy with crystalline structure in ultrasonic irradiation. In this way microhardness of the coatings increases remarkably.
