RESUMO
La3-xTe4 is a very promising high-temperature candidate applied in next-generation Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generators (RTGs). Conventional synthesis of such materials is based on the mechanochemical method, which makes the sample difficult to purify due to the high-energy ball milling. In this report, a novel synthetic method is developed, which utilizes Te-vapor transport and solid-phase diffusion to efficiently produce the RE3-xTe4 phases (RE = La, Ce, Pr, Nd). Notably, this method obviates the requirement for high-energy ball-milling instruments, conventionally indispensable in the mechanochemical syntheses. For as-synthesized La2.74Te4 material, a high figure of merit of 1.5 is achieved at 1073 K, owning to the reduced electronic thermal conductivity with metal impurities well eliminated.
RESUMO
The title compound, C(15)H(17)O(6)P, was obtained from a reaction of 4-methyl-7-hy-droxy-coumarin and 2-chloro-5,5-dimethyl-1,3,2-dioxaphosphinane 2-oxide. There are two mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit in which the benzopyran ring system is almost planar [r.m.s. deviation for each molecule = 0.003â Å]. In the crystal, C-Hâ¯O hydrogen bonds and π-π stacking inter-actions [with centroid-centroid distances of 3.743â (3) and 3.727â (3)â Å] link the two mol-ecules. The dioxaphospho-rinane ring adopts a chair conformation in both asymmetric molecules.
RESUMO
In the title compound, C(12)H(15)O(7)PS, the P atom has a distorted tetra-hedral environment. The P-O-C-C torsion angles deviate significantly from zero [average = 12.0â (3)°], indicating that the bicyclic OP(OCH(2))(3)C cage is strained. In the crystal, weak C-Hâ¯O inter-actions consolidate the packing.
RESUMO
In the title compound, C(6)H(10)N(3) (+)·C(5)H(6)O(6)P(-), the cation and anion are linked by pairs of N-Hâ¯O hydrogen bonds. There are additional inter-molecular N-Hâ¯N hydrogen bonds, which generate centrosymmetric tetramers of two cations and two anions.
RESUMO
The title compound, C(14)H(19)N(3)O(2)S, was obtained from a condensation reaction of N-(p-tol-yl)hydrazinecarbothio-amide and ethyl acetoacetate. The mol-ecule assumes an E configuration; the thio-semicarbazide and ester groups are located on the opposite sides of the C=N bond. The almost planar thio-semicarbazide unit (r.m.s. deviation = 0.0130â Å) is tilted at a dihedral angle of 49.54â (12)° with respect to the benzene ring. Inter-molecular N-Hâ¯N and N-Hâ¯S hydrogen bonding stabilizes the crystal structure. The eth-oxy group of the ester unit is disordered over two positions, with a site-occupancy ratio of 0.680â (10):0.320â (10).
