    Layered manganese bismuth tellurides with GeBi4Te7- and GeBi6Te10-type structures: Towards multifunctional materials
    (London : RSC Publ., 2019) Souchay, Daniel; Nentwig, Markus; Günther, Daniel; Keilholz, Simon; de Boor, Johannes; Zeugner, Alexander; Isaeva, Anna; Ruck, Michael; Wolter, Anja U.B.; Büchnerde, Bernd; Oeckler, Oliver
    The crystal structures of new layered manganese bismuth tellurides with the compositions Mn0.85(3)Bi4.10(2)Te7 and Mn0.73(4)Bi6.18(2)Te10 were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, including the use of microfocused synchrotron radiation. These analyses reveal that the layered structures deviate from the idealized stoichiometry of the 12P-GeBi4Te7 (space group P3m1) and 51R-GeBi6Te10 (space group R3m) structure types they adopt. Modified compositions Mn1-xBi4+2x/3Te7 (x = 0.15-0.2) and Mn1-xBi6+2x/3Te10 (x = 0.19-0.26) assume cation vacancies and lead to homogenous bulk samples as confirmed by Rietveld refinements. Electron diffraction patterns exhibit no diffuse streaks that would indicate stacking disorder. The alternating quintuple-layer [M2Te3] and septuple-layer [M3Te4] slabs (M = mixed occupied by Bi and Mn) with 1 : 1 sequence (12P stacking) in Mn0.85Bi4.10Te7 and 2 : 1 sequence (51R stacking) in Mn0.81Bi6.13Te10 were also observed in HRTEM images. Temperature-dependent powder diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry show that the compounds are high-temperature phases, which are metastable at ambient temperature. Magnetization measurements are in accordance with a MnII oxidation state and point at predominantly ferromagnetic coupling in both compounds. The thermoelectric figures of merit of n-type conducting Mn0.85Bi4.10Te7 and Mn0.81Bi6.13Te10 reach zT = 0.25 at 375 °C and zT = 0.28 at 325 °C, respectively. Although the compounds are metastable, compact ingots exhibit still up to 80% of the main phases after thermoelectric measurements up to 400 °C. © The Royal Society of Chemistry 2019.

    Prussian blue and its analogues as functional template materials: control of derived structure compositions and morphologies
    (London [u.a.] : RSC, 2023) Bornamehr, Behnoosh; Presser, Volker; Zarbin, Aldo J. G.; Yamauchi, Yusuke; Husmann, Samantha
    Hexacyanometallates, known as Prussian blue (PB) and its analogues (PBAs), are a class of coordination compounds with a regular and porous open structure. The PBAs are formed by the self-assembly of metallic species and cyanide groups. A uniform distribution of each element makes the PBAs robust templates to prepare hollow and highly porous (hetero)nanostructures of metal oxides, sulfides, carbides, nitrides, phosphides, and (N-doped) carbon, among other compositions. In this review, we examine methods to derive materials from PBAs focusing on the correlation between synthesis steps and derivative morphologies and composition. Insights into catalytic and electrochemical properties resulting from different derivatization strategies are also presented. We discuss challenges in manipulating the derivatives' properties, give perspectives of synthetic approaches for the target applications and present an outlook on less investigated grounds in Prussian blue derivatives.

    Multi-nuclear, high-pressure, operando FlowNMR spectroscopic study of Rh/PPh3 – catalysed hydroformylation of 1-hexene
    (Cambridge [u.a.] : Soc., 2021) Bara-Estaún, Alejandro; Lyall, Catherine L.; Lowe, John P.; Pringle, Paul G.; Kamer, Paul C. J.; Franke, Robert; Hintermair, Ulrich
    The hydroformylation of 1-hexene with 12 bar of 1 : 1 H2/CO in the presence of the catalytic system [Rh(acac)(CO)2]/PPh3 was successfully studied by real-time multinuclear high-resolution FlowNMR spectroscopy at 50 °C. Quantitative reaction progress curves that yield rates as well as chemo- and regioselectivities have been obtained with varying P/Rh loadings. Dissolved H2 can be monitored in solution to ensure true operando conditions without gas limitation. 31P{1H} and selective excitation 1H pulse sequences have been periodically interleaved with 1H FlowNMR measurements to detect Rh–phosphine intermediates during the catalysis. Stopped-flow experiments in combination with diffusion measurements and 2D heteronuclear correlation experiments showed the known tris-phosphine complex [RhH(CO)(PPh3)3] to generate rapidly exchanging isomers of the bis-phosphine complex [Rh(CO)2(PPh3)2] under CO pressure that directly enter the catalytic cycle. A new mono-phosphine acyl complex has been identified as an in-cycle reaction intermediate.
