In contrast zinc sulfide is more difficult to circuit current of the cells. Saitoh et al.have discussed the use deposit. In this paper we discuss the literature concerning of ZnS in passive structures such as optical waveguides,12 the deposition of these chalcogenides and use equilibrium while Landis et al.13 have described the index-matching of models to rationalise many of the observations found in wide-bandgap epitaxial heterojunction windows including ZnS the literature.Strategies for the deposition of high quality for silicon based solar cells. On mercury cadmium telluride films of ZnS by CBD are discussed. (HgCdTe), ZnS films can be used as gate dielectric layers in infrared photodetectors for CCDs14 and hence have a Introduction potentially wide range of applications. There is considerable interest at present in the soft processing of materials.1 Zinc and cadmium sulfide are compound The CBD process semiconductors with a wide range of potential applications.Film deposition These materials have many similarities, both exist in cubic or hexagonal forms and are wide-, direct-bandgap In chemical bath deposition experiments, solid material is semiconductors. formed which means that the bath must be thermodynamically The chemical bath deposition (CBD) process uses a unstable with respect to precipitation of the solid phase controlled chemical reaction to eVect the deposition of a thin formed, i.e.supersaturated. There are two parent possible film by precipitation. In a typical experiment substrates are reactions leading to solid material, notably: (i) within the bulk immersed in an alkaline solution containing the chalcogenide of the solution (homogeneous precipitation); (ii) at a surface, source, the metal ion and added base.A chelating agent is the substrate or adventitious reaction on the reaction vessel also added to control the hydrolysis of the metal ion. The surface (heterogeneous precipitation). process relies on the slow release of S2- ions into an alkaline It is the second of these routes which leads to film formation.solution in which the free metal ion is buVered at a low There is a tendency in the literature to discuss the deposition concentration. The speciation of metal ions, in particular the of thin films in terms of two distinct mechanisms or models. free metal ion concentration, is controlled by the formation The models form end points in a complex series of potential of complex species, e.g.[Zn(NH3)6]2+. The supply of sulfide processes for the deposition of adherent films encompassing ions is controlled by the decomposition of an organic sulfur many diVerent possibilities (Fig. 1). The first of these is the containing compound, usually thiourea or thioacetamide. The solubility product of the compound in question helps maintain the stoichiometry of the deposited material, homogeneous compounds can be obtained as a result.A large number of physicochemical factors control the growth of the deposit under a specific set of reaction conditions. The supersaturation with respect to an individual phase is important as well as the kinetics of the growth processes.The technique has been used extensively to grow CdS and this is reflected in the numerous papers on the subject.2–8 CBD is the production method for the CdS component of the ‘Apollo’ (CdS/CdTe) series solar cells manufactured by BP Solar. The deposition of ZnS by CBD is a more diYcult proposition than that of CdS. In particular it is evident that there is a much wider range of conditions in which the concurrent deposition of zinc sulfide and oxide can occur.It would be useful to be able to deposit ZnS by CBD. There is a diverse range of applications for thin films of this semiconductor including as waveguides, heterojunction devices and in thin-film electroluminescent displays in which it is the most commonly used host material.9 The potential of ZnS layers in Fig. 1 Schematic representations of the processes which could lead to a thin film: ion-by-ion, cluster-by-cluster and mixed. blue light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and laser diodes is also an J. Mater. Chem., 1998, 8(11), 2309–2314 2309so-called ion-by-ion process in which the ions condense at the reacting surface to form the film. The second is termed the cluster-by-cluster process in which agglomeration of colloidal particles pre-formed in solution, by the homogeneous reaction, leads by absorption at the surface to particulate films.In practice both processes may occur and or interact, leading to films in which colloidal material is included in the growing films. The predominance of one mechanism over another is governed by the extent of heterogeneous and homogeneous nucleation.Key factors include the degree of supersaturation of the solution and the catalytic activity of the surface (substrate). 15 As indicated in (Fig. 1) there are several chemical reactions which can potentially be involved in each of these Fig. 2 Graph of growth rate vs. [ligand ]. processes. The mechanisms of CBD processes are really quite poorly The situation is diVerent for ZnS and Dona and Herrero21 understood and this is reflected in the literature.The actual have suggested that as the growth rate for ZnS appeared be processes leading to the formation of good quality adherent independent of stirring this allows the possibility of diVusion films are complex. The CdS system illustrates the point. Good control to be discarded.They found that graphs of growth quality (adherent) films are only obtained from baths which rate against [NH3] or [N2 H4] had similar profiles, see Fig. 2. are supersaturated with respect to the precipitation of cadmium There is an acceleration of growth rate with concentration up hydroxy species, irrespective of the substrate used.

In early work, Kitaev et al. postulated16 that the presence Mokili et al.22 have hence proposed that the formation of of hydroxide particles in solution was necessary for the growth Zn(OH)2 must be minimised in order to obtain ZnS due to of good quality films, the decomposition of thiourea being possible competition between the formation of sulfide and stimulated by a solid phase such as cadmium hydroxide.This hydroxide in basic solutions [Zn(OH)2, Ksp=10-15.3 and ZnS, proposal was supported by the observations of Kaur et al.17 Ksp=10-23.8]. in that adherent films were only prepared in the presence of Froment and Lincot18 found ZnS films to be diVerent from ‘Cd(OH)2’ in solution.The importance of ‘Cd(OH)2’ species those of CdS and to be an aggregation of spherical particles, in the growth mechanism of CdS even in conditions where no in a more or less close packed structure. The distance between observable macroscopic precipitate is present is clear.Froment reticular planes revealed that the films were composed mainly and Lincot18 suggested that the mechanism of film formation, of cubic ZnS. Electron diVraction patterns are similar to those similar to that proposed by Parfitt,19 could be represented by for CdS colloids. Evidence like this indicates that the growth the following series of consecutive surface adsorption/reaction mechanism for ZnS is probably a colloid aggregation process.steps: Similar findings have been reported by Mokili et al.,22 TEM results revealing ZnS films composed of aggregated grains in Cd2+aq+site+2 OH-�Cd(OH)2,ads (1) an amorphous matrix.

It is interesting to note that freshly precipitated Cd(OH)2 is readily metathesised to CdS in the presence of The kinetics of typical CBD processes (Fig. 3) appear to follow a sigmoidal profile similar to those observed for thiourea; this reaction appears not to happen with the zinc analogue.The solution species formed in the case of zinc are autocatalytic reactions.23,24 In solid state nucleation and growth processes, such evidently diVerent as is the degree of supersaturation. CdS has been reported to grow epitaxially on single crystals reactions are often described by a formal kinetic expression such as the Avrami equation: by CBD such as InP.20 This observation supports an ion-byion mechanism because of the register required between the a=1-e(-kt) (4) substrate and growing layers at the atomic level.Further evidence comes from an HRTEM18 study of material deposited where a is the fractional decomposition, t the time and k a rate constant. This is an expression of the rate of formation before coalescence of the CdS film. Monocrystalline nuclei (30 nm) are formed at the substrate surface with the c-axis of nuclei in the special case when there is completely random nucleation.25 If we consider such processes in a qualitative perpendicular to the surface. These crystallites coalesced to form a continuous film composed of microcrystallites (hexag- way the kinetics are dominated by three phases: (i) initiation, often nucleation, the initial step usually requiring a high onal, 20–80 nm). 2310 J.

There appears to be no such simple relationship for zinc sulfide deposition. The degrees of supersaturation in any system will depend on various factors including pH, ligand concentration and temperature.It is interesting to compare the speciation in similar chemical baths for cadmium and zinc. If we take the ethylenediamine system as an example, a bath modestly supersaturated with respect to cadmium hydroxide is readily obtained at a 251 ligand to metal ratio ([Cd]=180 mmol dm-3, [en]= 360 mmol dm-3), Fig. 4(a) pH> ca. 9.5. In contrast a similar Fig. 3 Kinetic profile for a generalized autocatalytic process, fraction of reaction (a) vs. time. activation energy in which reactive centres which catalyse the reaction are formed; (ii) the main phase of the reaction, sometimes zero order in which a number of reactive sites gives rise to a lower activation energy pathway, autocatalysis in a general sense, but in a heterogeneous reaction the growth of nuclei; and (iii) a termination step in which the reagent becomes depleted and the reaction begins to slow and eventually stops.Intuitively this kind of general model is attractive for CBD processes and one thing which is interesting is that many CBD processes show a substantial linear portion in their kinetic profile (see for example ref. 18). This observation may suggest that in this phase of the reaction the process is controlled by a constant number of saturated reaction sites. There is an analogy here with the growth of thin films by MOCVD which is often arranged to be in a diVusion limited regime. Equilibrium considerations The metal ions zinc and cadmium are both labile, so it is reasonable to assume that in stirred solutions equilibria will be rapidly established, hence equilibrium models are useful in assessing the starting points of these chemically reactive baths.In any reaction which involves precipitation, the state of supersaturation of the system will be crucial and equilibrium Fig. 4 Speciation diagram to illustrate the fundamental diVerences calculations help to assess its extent.It is known in the between cadmium and zinc complexation: (a) cadmium, (b) zinc.

It would be interesting to look at the possibility for ternary material deposition from such baths which operate at much lower pH values than are typical for CBD. The films deposited by this method had bandgaps close to that expected for ZnS. Nature of the films deposited in ZnS experiments Electronic properties.Another important issue concerns ndgaps of films deposited from ammonia free baths discussed above27 which are close to that expected for bulk ZnS (3.6 eV). Films deposited from ammonia containing baths have been reported to have bandgaps (4.1–3.9 eV) consistently higher than the bulk value,28 Table 1. There has been speculation that this eVect is due to quantum confinement in the very small (grain size 3–6 nm) crystallites of which these films Fig. 5 Limiting solubility lines for ‘M(OH)2’ {[M]/mol dm-3 (for were composed.29 In essence, a 3-D quantum size eVect is supersaturation) vs. pH, M=Cd or Zn} and corresponding supersaturation line ([S-]/mol dm-3 vs. pH) [for illustration pKsp values used suggested to be occurring in which electrons are localised in at 20 °C: ‘Zn(OH)2’, 15.3; ZnS, 23.8; ‘Cd(OH)2’, 14; CdS, 28].individual crystallites of polycrystalline thin films.30 CdSe films Double-headed arrow shows typical region used for CdS deposition, have been grown where bandgap values were apparently up the path A to B to C is explained in the text. to 0.5 eV higher than in single-crystal samples.31 Similar observations relate to PbSe films32 which were found to contain bath containing zinc is unstable with respect to precipitation crystals of varying size depending on the deposition paramof the hydroxide at much lower values of pH>ca. 7.5.In the eters, in particular the nature of the complexing agent, the presence of modest amounts of a sulfiding agent, in the alkaline film thickness and the deposition temperature, and ZnS parregion, the cadmium bath deposits CdS while in the ticulate films (particle size 30–60 A° ).33 Although such eVects corresponding zinc bath ZnO/hydroxide is more easily formed.have been explained by quantum confinement, it is entirely The above calulations draw attention to a fact that we and possible that some of the films are chemically inhomogeneous others have commented on in several papers, i.e.the impor- with a significant quantity of oxide/hydroxide incorporation. tance of the supersaturation of cadmium solutions with respect to hydroxy species as a necessary condition for the growth of good quality films of CdS. It is possible to further develop Film composition. Many of the films reported as ZnS which have not been rigorously characterised are probably at best this approach in a comparative way by considering the solubility limits for metal hydroxy species as a function of pH.At heavily contaminated with zinc oxide or hydroxide. In an RBS study Mokili et al.22 showed that CBD deposits contained any value of pH there is a limiting value of pM (defined by KspOH2 /[OH]2) below which supersaturation will occur.These significant amounts of oxygen.

At pH 10–11, we know good quality CdS would be deposited sulfur ratio was found. The compositions of some films were even reported to be close to Zn(OH)2.In more basic solutions from such a solution. This condition is suYcient to define a minimum sulfide ion concentration at which metathesis to the containing hydrazine, deposits of material close in stoichiometry to ZnS were obtained, but even such samples were not sulfide becomes a preferred reaction (KspS/[M]). It is striking that CdS is much more stable than ZnS and this is again of the pure sulfide and were contaminated with either oxide (ZnO0.5S0.5) or hydroxide [Zn(OH)S0.5].graphically illustrated (Fig. 5).

We can investigate this idea by defining equivalent conditions for ZnS and CdS in terms of explained by the proximity of the solubility lines of the sulfide and the hydroxide.supersaturation for the sulfide, which are found by following the line B–C on Fig. 5. Later EXAFS studies by Mokili et al.34 showed that thin films prepared by CBD in alkaline ammonia solutions contain- There are several important conclusions that we can draw from this simple calculation: (i) equivalent levels of supersat- ing a zinc salt, thiourea and diVerent amine additives were zinc hydroxosulfide, the oxygen content of which ranged uration for the sulfide are found at pH values ca. 2.5 lower for ZnS than CdS; (ii) if reactions are carried out in a high between 39 and 82%.FTIR studies supported the evidence suggesting that the films consisted mainly of Zn(OH)2 with pH regime more sulfiding agent (by ca. 4 orders of magnitude!) will be needed for the zinc system, even so the degree of little or no ZnO present. A clear absorption at 648 cm-1 was assigned to a ZnMOH stretching mode by KauVman et al.35 supersaturation for zinc with respect to the hydroxide will always be greater than for cadmium with respect to its The ZnMO bond peak position (at 430 cm-1 from a ZnO powder sample) was very weak in most spectra thus rejecting hydroxide (values of pM and pH being equal ); and (iii) at lower pH the rate of hydrolysis of the sulfide source is likely the hypothesis that significant amounts of ZnO were formed in the films.Such compositions were present even without to be lower so again even if a lower pH is used more sulfide source will be needed. post-annealing. A point worth stressing is the similarity of the conditions It is interesting to note that an intuitive attempt to develop this kind of approach has been reported.27 The chemical bath used in the Mokili study34 to those used in the majority of the other studies of ZnS by CBD, Table 1. All of the reported used contained zinc ions and urea, at modestly acid values of pH.The urea slowly hydrolysed in the bath to provide conditions for the deposition of ZnS as detailed in Table 1 are remarkably similar and suggest that there is the distinct hydroxide and thioacetamide hydrolysed as the hydroxide was 2312 J.Mater. Chem., 1998, 8(11), 2309–2314possibility of heavy oxide contamination or incorporation in many of the films reported as ZnS. The chemistry of sulfide delivery In essence, the chemistry involved in the CBD of ZnS is straightforward. Thiourea decomposition will occur in CBD baths essentially as described in the kinetics studies carried out by Marcotrigiano et al.36 into the desulfuration of thiourea in sodium hydroxide.They postulated that in alkaline solutions, thiourea first gives sodium sulfide and cyanamide which is then transformed into cyanamide, amidinourea, guanidine or, at pH 12, almost quantitatively into urea which isomerizes to ammonium cyanate and is finally hydrolysed to ammonium carbonate: (NH2)2CS+OH-ANCNH2+SH-+H2O (5) Fig. 6 Equivalent solutions.

Ndukwe also used hydrazine.42 Dona and Herrero have suggested that (concentration of complexing agent, nitrilotriacetate, to cadmium salt) below which Cd(OH)2 was present and above the rate-determining step for the heterogeneous process may involve the dissociation of a Zn2+ML bond.This suggestion which it was not, despite a visible Cd(OH)2 suspension under any condition.

The double alkoxide5 [SrTa2(OEt)12] 2, and its reaction with nitrogen containing ligands has been investigated. However, the parent alkoxide contains a coordinatively unsaturated strontium centre making them susceptible to attack by moisture and air.The use of donor functional ligands should stabilise such compounds.6 We have now isolated and characterised a novel bimetallic strontium–tantalum ethoxide from the reaction of the parent ethoxide 2 with the nitrogenous ligand, 1,3-bis(dimethylamino) propan-2-ol. The structure of the parent ethoxide [SrTa2(OEt)8(m-OEt)4] 2 will be reported elsewhere.Although some of the chemistry of bimetallic alkoxy deriva- Fig. 1 The molecular structure of 1.

This is them, the sol–gel process is considered to be the most successful evidence for the formation of a single alkoxide precursor. The method in terms of composition control. However, the control of stoichiometry in the film has still been a knotty problem because of the relatively high volatility of bismuth components.Conventionally, mixed metal esters including 2-ethylhexanoate have been used for this sol–gel process,3,7 but they are not regarded as suitable precursors to obtain high quality SBT films. Recently, some papers have reported sol–gel processed SBT thin films derived from mixed alkoxide solutions prepared by mixing the individual metal alkoxides, but none of them have prepared any single alkoxide precursors.8,9 In the fabrication of multicomponent metal oxide films, precise control of stoichiometry, crystallographic phase and grain structure in the film is crucial and these properties could be tuned from the molecular level homogeneity, which is likely achieved from a single metal-organic precursor that evolves directly to a mixed-metal oxide, reproducibly. Prior to this study, however, little information was available regarding the preparation and characterization of single precursors for the Sr(OR)2–Bi(OR)3–Ta(OR)5 system.Here, we demonstrate a synthesized single alkoxide sol–gel precursor for the fabrication of SBT thin films. It has been found that only the stoichiometric amount of the Bi precursor, diVerently from other sol–gel solution systems, is necessary for the formation of a ferroelectric SBT phase.SBT thin films with this precursor present outstanding ferroelectric properties and the surface morphology of the film is considerably improved compared with that of films from conventional 2- Fig. 1 NMR spectra of complex isolated from SBT precursor solution in benzene-d6.(a) 1H NMR; (b) 13C NMR. ethylhexanoate sol–gel solution.

The solution is stable for more than one month and induce better crystallinity in the SBT film and a higher value of remanent polarization as a result.14,15 In this work, however, the aging eVect is negligible.Spin-coated films at 2500 rpm were baked at 120 °C and subsequently at 320 °C to remove we have found a diVerent result, that is, extra Bi is not necessary for the formation of a pure ferroelectric phase, organic solvents. The spin coating and baking cycles were repeated three times to obtain a film of final thickness about which is directly ascribed to the intrinsic role of the single 2- methoxyethoxide precursor.It is deduced that Bi loss is 250 nm.

China, E-mail: wzwang@mail.ustc.edu.cn Received 5th August, 1998, Accepted 8th September 1998 A novel solvothermal method has been developed to obtain nanocrystalline Cu2-xSe at low temperature; CuI and Se were placed at 90 °C for 4 h in an autoclave with ethylenediamine as solvent and the product was characterized by XRD,TEM and XPS.The results revealed that as prepared Cu2-xSe grains were nearly homogeneously spherical and the average grain size was ca. 18 nm. Ethylenediamine coordinated to Cu+ probably plays an important role in the formation of nanocrystalline Cu2-xSe. It is reasonable to expect that this simple one-step solvothermal route can be extended to obtain other nanocrystalline materials. Extensive attention has been paid to the preparation and characterization of selenides, owing to their interesting proper- Fig. 1 XRD pattern of as prepared nanocrystalline Cu2-xSe. ties and potential applications.

The binding energies The solvothermal pathway is a newly developed route, which obtained in the XPS analysis were corrected for specimen does not require organometallic or toxic precursors and is carried out at comparatively low temperature. The organic solvent plays an important role in the formation of nanocrystalline materials.Compared with other methods, this method is convenient, simple and mild and we have obtained many kinds of non-oxide nanocrystalline materials at low temperature in this way.9,10 In this paper we report a novel solvothermal method to form nanocrystalline Cu2-xSe at low temperature.Powdered CuI (11 mmol) and Se (5 mmol) were placed in a Teflon lined stainless steel autoclave, then the autoclave was filled with ethylenediamine up to 90% of its capacity. The autoclave was kept at 90 °C for 4 h, and then allowed to cool to room temperature. The precipitate was filtered, washed with distilled water and dried in vacuum at 50 °C for 4 h.The final black product was collected for characterization. X-Ray powder diVraction (XRD) patterns were collected on a Japan Rigaku D/max cA rotation anode X-ray Fig. 2 TEM image of a typical sample of nanocrystalline Cu2-xSe.diVractometer with Ni-filtered Cu-Ka radiation. Fig. 1 shows J. Mater. Chem., 1998, 8(11), 2321–2322 2321the resultant grains were much bigger at higher temperatures or longer times. When the reaction was carried out at 180 °C for 4 h, the grain size reached 100 nm (XRD). In general the grain size varied with the reaction temperature and time. In the solvothermal process, the solvent plays an important role in the formation of nanocrystalline Cu2-xSe.Ethylenediamine(en) was selected as solvent because it is a Nchelating ligand which dissolves CuI to form a complex. This was supported by the fact that CuI powder slowly dissolved after addition of ethylenediamine and the solution color changed from transparent to light then to dark blue. As Cu+ dispersed into the solution, the reaction surface area greatly increased, which promotes the reaction between CuI and Se.Thus nanocrystalline Cu2-xSe formed at relatively low temperature. There is a related report that [Cu(en)2]2+ reacts with thiourea to produce amorphous CuS.12 Furthermore, the solvent absorbed the heat produced during the reaction, so leading to smooth reaction. Ethylenediamine limits the product size and mediates the reaction.In the solvothermal process, CuI reduced Se to Se2-. To our knowledge, the reducibility of I- has been seldom utilized to prepare nanocrystalline materials at comparatively low temperatures. Although the reducibility of I- is low (EI2/I-G= 0.535 V (ESe/Se2-G=-0.78 V), the reaction goes to completion since the Cu2-xSe formed precipates out of solution.The byproduct I2 was removed from the product by washing and has no eVect on the product purity. It is reasonable to expect that iodides can be widely used as reductants to obtain other nanoscale materials at low temperatures in solvothermal processes.

Compounds with AII=Ba reports on Mo-containing double perovskites are limited. The crystallized in the cubic double perovskite structure with the first aim of the present communication is to report the synthesis lattice constant close to 2ap; ap is the lattice constant of cubic and structural investigation of Mo-containing double perovperovskite of the primitive ABO3 type (ap#4 A° ).

Accordingly, it is speculated that the monoclinic distortion of the Sr compounds synthesized in this study, if present, is too small to distinguish the monoclinic system from the orthorhombic and tetragonal systems by powder XRD measurements alone.It is noted here that, in accordance with a previous report,5 we could discern a monoclinic Ó2ap×Ó2ap×2ap unit cell of Ca2CaWO6 with a slight distortion (b=90.18°).

As expected, the cell size increases with increasing the radius of BII cations in each series of oxides. The cell size diVerences of Ba2BIIBVIO6>Sr2BIIBVIO6 and A2BIIW0.5Mo0.5O6> A2BIIMoO6 are also consistent with ionic size diVerences6 of Ba>Sr and W>Mo.In parallel with the investigation of the Mo-containing double perovskites, the synthesis and structural investigation of the W analogues have been carried out. The following compounds were obtained, and their crystal systems were in accordance with the literature. (2ap)-type cubic phase; Ba2BIIWO6 (BII=Ni,7 Co,7 Cd,8 Ca7) (Ó2ap×Ó2ap×2ap)-type tetragonal phase; Sr2BIIWO6 (BII=Ni,7 Mg,8 Co,7 Cd) (Ó2ap×Ó2ap×2ap)-type orthorhombic phase; Sr2CaWO6,9 Ca2BIIWO6 (BII=Ni, Co)1 (Ó2ap×Ó2ap×2ap)-type monoclinic phase; Ca2CaWO65 The Goldschmidt tolerance factor (t)10 is often used to predict the formation of perovskites and the crystal symmetry for a given pair of A- and B-site cations.The tolerance factor is given by t=(rA+rO)/Ó2(rB+rO) (1) where rX is the ionic radius6 of X ion, and rB=(rBII+rBVI)/2 for A2BIIBVIO6 double perovskites.The relation between the t Fig. 2 Powder XRD patterns of AII2CoMoO6 (A=Ba, Sr) and value and the crystal symmetry is depicted in Fig. 4A. All of Ba2CoW0.5Mo0.5O6. V: BaWO4. the Ba compounds with t values >0.96 are cubic. In each series of the Sr and Ca compounds, oxides with the smallest t values (BII=Ca) have unit cells with lower symmetry than the others; orthorhombic vs. tetragonal for the Sr compounds, and monoclinic vs.orthorhombic for the Ca compounds. In this way, the t value can discriminate the crystal symmetry in the series of each AII cation. When all the compounds are taken into account, however, overlap regions exist.At t values between 0.95 and 1.0, both the cubic (Ba compounds) and tetragonal (Sr compounds) systems occur, and the t value of tetragonal Sr2CdWO6 is smaller than those of orthorhombic Ca2BIIWO6 (BII=Ni, Co). This suggests that a new parameter, which reflects more pronouncedly the size diVerence of A site cations, is necessary to exactly discriminate the crystal system of double perovskites.For this purpose, we propose a new fitness factor (W) defined by eqn. (2). Fig. 3 Primitive perovskite parameter (ap) of Mo-containing double perovskites as a function of ionic radius of divalent BII cation. See W=Ó2rA/(rB+rO) (2) text for the calculation of ap and Table 1 for the listing of compounds. For the ideal cubic unit cell of the primitive ABO3 type (t= 2: Ba2 BIIMoO6, %: Ba2 BIIW0.5Mo0.5O6, +: Sr2 BIIMoO6, #: Sr2BIIW0.5Mo0.5O6. 1.0, rA=rO), the B–O interionic distance, rB+rO, is equivalent 2324 J.Mater. Chem., 1998, 8(11), 2323–2325fitness factor, the borderline between the cubic Ba compounds and the tetragonal Sr compounds becomes clear. In addition, all of the orthorhombic Sr and Ca compounds have similar W values, giving a clear borderline at W=0.93 to distinguish from tetragonal systems. The cubic system occurs at 1.00<W, the tetragonal system at 0.93<W<1.00, the orthorhombic system at 0.90<W<0.93, and the monoclinic system at W<0.90; the borderline value of W=0.90 between orthorhombic and monoclinic systems is not definitive owing to lack of data.The reduction of crystal symmetry of perovskites usually results from the tilting of BO6 octahedrons.2,11 When an A cation is closely packed in the cubo-octahedral cavity (W1), tilting would be suppressed and the cubic system results.At W<1 with the loose packing of the A cation, tilting of BO6 octahedrons or distortion would be expected, and would become larger with decreasing W. It is well known that B site vacancies in perovskite-type oxides are rare, while those at A sites are commonly found in, for example, ReO3, NaxWO312 and La2/3TiO3.13 This indicates that the framework made of BO6 octahedra is of primary importance for the construction of the perovskite structure and that A site cations stabilize the structure by sitting in the cubo-octahedral cavities.The concept of the proposed fitness factor is in line with this.References 1 G.

By comb structures are also used in diesel-powered cars to trap treating this honeycomb with NaOH in the presence of TPAB and burn particulate carbon from the exhaust gases.In gasotemplate at 190 °C for two weeks, we converted the silica in line-powered cars a significant amount of the total emissions that a vehicle emits in a single trip are emitted in the first few minutes of operation1 because the operating temperature of the catalytic converter is below 300 °C at the very beginning of the trip.Below a 300 °C, the catalytic converter is ineVective in decomposing the various emissions while it has a maximum eYciency in the range 400–800 °C. A great deal of eVort at present is being devoted to reduce the emissions in the first few minutes by using electrically-heated catalysts.An alternative approach is to trap the hydrocarbon emissions until the catalytic converter reaches an operating temperature of 300 °C by using microporous adsorbents such as zeolites. Here we report the fabrication of a novel ZSM-5 (microporous)–mullite (macroporous) composite honeycomb structure which can be located at the entrance of the three-way catalyst and is potentially useful to trap the emissions until the catalytic converter reaches its operating temperature.There is also a great deal of interest in the preparation of composite materials containing continuous zeolite films for other applications such as catalysis, pervaporation, adsorption, cation exchange, etc..2–9 However, most of these studies led to limited success because of the problems of zeolite adhesion to the ceramic substrate.Here we overcome the adhesion problems by in-situ crystallization of ZSM-5 zeolite. Monolithic honeycomb was prepared from a commercially available New Zealand kaolin clay.

The formation of either a discrete binuclear inclusion complex in the presence of CH2Cl2 acting as stopper or of an infinite 1-D inclusion network (koilate) in the presence of hexadiyne acting as connector was demonstrated in the solid state by singlecrystal diffraction studies.The inclusion network was based on the interconnection of consecutive koilands by connector molecules. Over the last ten years much attention has been focused on molecular crystal engineering and the design of molecular networks in the solid state is still a subject of current interest.1 The majority of reported molecular networks are either based on hydrogen bonding2,3 or on coordination bonds.4,5 However, we have proposed that one may use inclusion processes based on van der Waals interactions as a construction principle to design molecular networks in the solid state.6 Thus, we demonstrated that 1-D molecular networks (koilates)7 may be generated under self-assembly conditions using hollow molecular receptors (koilands)8 possessing at least two divergent cavities Scheme 1 Structures of p-isopropylcalix[4]arene 1 and of hexadiyne 3 and connector molecules capable of bridging by double as welle as schematic representations of 1 in cone conformation and inclusion consecutive koilands (Fig. 1). of the koiland 2 obtained upon fusion of two units 1 by two Here we describe the synthesis of a new koiland as well as silicon atoms. its use in the formation of either a discrete exobinuclear inclusion complex or an infinite 1-D molecular network in the solid state. obtained in 9% yield by crystallisation from a 159 mixture of The design of the koiland 2 is based on the double fusion CH2Cl2–hexane.by two silicon atoms of two p-isopropylcalix[4]arenes 1 The synthesis of 2 (Scheme 1) was achieved in 39% yield (Scheme 1).

We have discovered that a layered titanate of Na2Ti3O7 has a high ability for photoexcited charge formation and the eVects of RuO2 dispersion are important for photocatalysis: Na2Ti3O7 is a promising Fig. 2 Comparison of EPR signals of Na2Ti6O13 (a) and Na2Ti3O7 (b) with UV irradiation.

As reported previously, the tunnel structure Na2Ti6O13 provided a strong signal with g=2.020, g=2.018 and g=2.004, which is assigned to a surface lattice O- radical.4,6 For Na2Ti3O7, nearly the same signal with g= 2.021, g=2.018, and g=2.004 was observed. The close similarity clearly indicates that Na2Ti3O7 is able to produce the surface lattice O- radical.Since the formation of the radical is associated with highly eYcient photoexcited charge separation in BaTi4O9 and Na2Ti6O13,8 Na2Ti3O7 is concluded to have the ability of photoexcited charge formation. Fig. 3 shows water decomposition on a RuO2(CB)-deposited Na2Ti3O7 [referred to as RuO2(CB)/Na2Ti3O7] photocatalyst, together with a RuO2(CL)/Na2Ti3O7 photocatalyst.In addition to hydrogen, the evolution of oxygen occurred from Fig. 4 HRTEM images of RuO2(CL)/Na2Ti3O7 (a) and RuO2(CB)/ an initial stage and continued at a constant rate as long as the Na2Ti3O7 (b). sample was irradiated. Note that a RuO2(CL)/Na2Ti3O7 photocatalyst which underwent the same reduction and oxidation resulted in little evolution of oxygen, although a small amount of hydrogen was produced.Fig. 4 shows HRTEM images of RuO2 deposited Na2Ti3O7. For RuO2(CL)/Na2Ti3O7, large egg-shaped black spots, whose sizes were around 20–30 nm, were observed. On the other hand, for RuO2(CB)/Na2Ti3O7 spherical dark spots of 2–4 nm in diameter were mostly distributed uniformly on the regular lattice image of Na2Ti3O7. EDS analysis showed that the dark egg-like and spherical spots are composed of ruthenium.Note that RuO2(CB) produces smaller, better distributed RuO2 particles than does RuO2(CL). In order to compare the roles of RuO2(CL) and RuO2(CB) in photocatalysis, these Ru oxides were supported on Na2Ti6O13 with a rectangular tunnel structure. Fig. 5 shows the photocatalytic activities of RuO2(CL)/ and RuO2(CB)/Na2Ti6O13.RuO2 (CL)/Na2Ti6O13 produced Fig. 5 Photocatalytic activities of RuO2(CL)/ and RuO2(CB)/ hydrogen and oxygen in nearly the stoichiometric ratio. These Na2Ti6O13. Ru content: 1 wt%. results exclude the possibility that the poor performance of the RuO2(CL)/Na2Ti3O7 photocatalyst is due to a Cl residue which might remain on the surface. Interestingly, the photo- diVerences in RuO2 particle sizes and shapes between RuO2(CL) and RuO2(CB), as shown in Fig. 4. catalytic activity was higher by a factor of 2.2 for RuO2(CB)/Na2Ti6O13 than for RuO2(CL)/Na2Ti6O13. This It is likely that the larger RuO2 particles produce an oxygen-deficient state in the interior of the particles, because indicates that a larger number of active sites are produced in the former, thus suggesting that RuO2(CB) is superior to of the diYculty of complete oxidation, and/or weak interactions at interface between RuO2 and the titanate surface, RuO2(CL) in the formation of smaller RuO2 particles.The surface geometric eVect of a pentagonal-prism tunnel structure which has unfavorable influences on the photoexcited charge transfer in photocatalysis. These considerations lead to the of BaTi4O9 has been previously described as playing the role of a ‘nest’ in the accommodation of Ru oxides, which presents view that the good photocatalytic performance of H2 and O2 production observed for RuO2(CB)/Na2Ti3O7 is due to the a barrier for the aggregation and growth of RuO2 particles and keeps Ru oxide particles small.1 Thus, the diVerences in presence of smaller RuO2 particles.In conclusion, there is no intrinsic diVerence in photo- particle sizes between RuO2(CL) and RuO2(CB) are considered to be rather small in Na2Ti6O13 in view of the tunnel catalysis between the tunnel and layer structures: a Na2Ti3O7 titanate with a zigzag layer structure makes a good photocata- structure. For a layered titanate of Na2Ti3O7 which has no tunnel space, there is little geometric eVect to suppress the lyst which produces H2 and O2 when RuO2 is highly dispersed.The view that the ability to form O- surface radicals upon aggregation and growth of RuO2.

The resorcinarene, methanol and water molecules combine by means of multiple O–H,O hydrogen bonds to form paired, essentially-planar two-dimensional nets in which centrosymmetric pairs of resorcinarene bowls act as selfassembled carcerands to form large cavities in which pairs of 2,2¾-bipyridyl molecules are held by a combination of O–H,N and C–H,O hydrogen bonds.The design and construction of self-assembled microporous NC5H4C5H4N to continuous {2, 2, 1} interweaving in molecular solids is an attractive target in crystal engineering.[Fe(C5H4COC6H4OH)2].

Within one of the molecules of the dipyridine, the heterocyclic ring containing atom N71 was found to be disordered.The diVraction data were most satisfactorily fitted by a model which assigned to this ring two equallypopulated sets of atom-sites, generated by rotation of the ring about the N71,C74 vector, such that the two ring-orientations are inclined at 35.7(4)o to one another. The orthorhombic space group Pbca was uniquely assigned for compound 3 from the systematic absences: 0kl absent when k=2n+1, h0l absent when l=2n+1, hk0 absent when h=2n+1.The asymmetric unit contains one molecule each of the resorcinarene, 2,2¾- bipyridyl and water, all in general positions and fully ordered, together with a disordered molecule of methanol.

These C–H,O hydrogen bonds to the rim of the resorcinarene represent a form of intermolecular bonding, soft hydrogen bonds with oxygen as acceptor, which has not hitherto been widely recognised or exploited in this area.Supramolecular structure of 3 The asymmetric unit of compound 3 contains one molecule each of the resorcinarene, 2,2¾-bipyridyl, water and methanol (Fig. 3): all four components participate in the formation of hard hydrogen bonds. The resorcinarene forms four intramolecular O–H,O hydrogen bonds, arranged not in the usual C2v configuration, but with only C1 symmetry (Fig. 3 and Table 3). The other four hydroxy groups, associated with O23, O33, O43 and O45, all form hydrogen bonds with other components of the structure: O23 and O45 form O–H,O bonds with methanol molecules, O33 with a bipyridyl molecule, and O43 with a water molecule; in addition, atom O35 by Fig. 5 View of part of the structure of 3, showing the placing of pairs forming a bifurcated (three-centre) hydrogen bond is linked of 2,2¾-bipyridyl molecules within the cavity formed by a pair of also to another resorcinarene molecule.

The graft copolymers from pyrrole were insoluble whilst those arising from 3-alkylpyrroles were completely soluble in common organic solvents even in their doped states.The past two and a half decades have witnessed intense Experimental interdisciplinary research attention on electrically conducting Synthesis of key monomers conjugated polymers such as polyacetylenes, polyanilines, polypyrroles and polythiophenes on account of their remarkable Pyrrole (Py), methacryloyl chloride and methyl methacrylate electronic, magnetic and optical properties as well as their (MMA) were distilled prior to use.a,a¾-Azobis(isobutyropotential in a wide range of technological applications.1–6 nitrile) (AIBN) (Koch-Light) was recrystallized from absolute However, the generally poor processability of these parent ethanol and dried at 40 °C in vacuo (0.2 mmHg).unfunctionalised systems has severely limited their appli- Triethylamine, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and nitromethane cations.

Conductivity measurements were carried out on a four point probe connected to a Keithley constant-current source system. Gel permeation chromatographic analyses were carried out using a Waters 600E HPLC system with a Waters 410 diVerential refractometer.The molecular weights referred to the peak maxima of the elution curves were measured against polystyrene standards in THF at 30 °C using the following column combination: PhenogelTM MXL and MXM columns (300 mm×4.6 mm ID), with a separating range from 103 to 106 g mol-1. Results Precursor copolymers PMMA-co-PNPAMs The PMMA-co-PNPAM samples prepared in our experiments were soluble white powders with molecular weights (Mn) of ca. 50 000 g mol-1. Their chemical structures were confirmed by 1H NMR and FTIR spectroscopy. A representative 1H NMR spectrum for PMMA-co-PNPDDM containing 7.7 mol% of pyrrolyl moieties revealed resonances for the a-, b-ring protons at d 6.65 and 6.13 respectively.16a,16b The corresponding FT-IR spectra of the PMMA-co-PNPAMs depict characteristic vibrational bands at 1730 cm-1 (ascribable to ester carbonyl vibrations), 750 and 725 cm-1 ascribable respectively to pyrrole C–Hb and C–Ha bendings (Fig. 2a).12a,12c,12e TGA in air for PMMA-co-PNPAMs revealed an onset decomposition temperature at 180–240 °C, being completely degraded at ca. 450 °C leaving residues of <0.5%. Glass transition temperatures (Tg) of the copolymers were found to be lowered with increasing content of NPAMs.In addition, Tg at a given mole percentage of NPAM in the copolymer was also reduced with increasing length of the n-alkyl spacers in NPAMs (see Fig. 1) suggesting enhanced chain mobility of the copolymers with the longer spacers. Graft copolymers of PMMA with polypyrrole Black insoluble electrically conductive materials resulted from grafting of polypyrrole to PMMA-co-PNPAMs.However, those prepared from copolymers with a low content of NPAMs (<3 mol%) and of grafted polypyrrole (<20 mol%) showed some swelling in THF.

FT-IR spectra of polymers dispersed in KBr disks were recorded on a Bio-Rad TFS156 spectrometer. 1H NMR were recorded on a Bruker ACF 300 FT-NMR spectrophotometer operating at 300 MHz. CDCl3 was used as solvent and tetramethylsilane (TMS) as internal reference. Thermogravimetric analyses (TGAs) of polymer powders (about 5 mg) were conducted on a Du Pont Thermal Analyst 2100 system with a TGA 2950 thermogravimetric analyzer.

Thus, the graft copolymers of 3-octylpyrrole with PMMA-co-PNPDDMs were completely soluble, separation/aggregation of the P3APy component in the graft copolymers.This observation is suggestive that at lower 3- partially soluble and insoluble when the content of NPDDM in PMMA-co-PNPDDMs was increased from 1.6 to 4.2 and alkylpyrrole contents, homogeneous grafted copolymers resulted whereas at higher contents, an apparently then 7.7 mol%, respectively (Table 4).
