TL;DR: The results of magnetic property measurements indicate that there are considerable ferromagnetic interactions between nickel(II) centers in both compounds.
Abstract: Two new nickel(II) molybdenum(VI) selenium(IV) and tellurium(IV) oxides generally formulated as Ni3(Mo2O8)(XO3) (X = Se, Te) have been synthesized by solid-state reactions of NiO, MoO3, and SeO2 (or TeO2). Both compounds feature 3D network structures built of [Mo4O16]8- tetranuclear cluster units and 2D nickel(II) selenite or tellurite layers. The nickel(II) selenite layer in Ni3(Mo2O8)(SeO3) is formed by [Ni6O22]32- hexanuclear clusters interconnected by selenite groups whereas the thick nickel(II) tellurite layer in Ni3(Mo2O8)(TeO3) is constructed by corrugated nickel(II) oxide chains bridged by the tellurite groups. The results of magnetic property measurements indicate that there are considerable ferromagnetic interactions between nickel(II) centers in both compounds. Their optical properties and band structures have been also studied.

TL;DR: In this paper, the lead-II sulfonate-phosphonates have been characterized and structurally characterized, and the first zero-dimensional lead(II) phosphonates with strong broad blue fluorescent emission bands are presented.
Abstract: Five new lead(II) sulfonate-phosphonates, namely [Pb(3)(L)(2)(H(2)O)(2)]center dot 4H(2)O (1), [Pb(HL)(phen)]center dot H(2)O (2), [Pb(6)(L)(4)(phen)(8)]center dot 3H(2)O (3), [Pb(6)(L)(4)(phen)(10)]center dot 2H(2)O (4), and [Pb(6)(L)(4)(4,4'-bipy)(H(2)O)(2)]center dot 2H(2)O (5; H(3)L = m-HO(3)S-C(6)H(4)-PO(3)H(2), phen = 1,10-phenanthroline, 4,4'-bipy = 4,4'-bipyridine) have been prepared and structurally characterized. Compound I features a novel 3D framework in which 1D chains of Pb(3)O(4) cluster units are further bridged by sulfonate-phosphonate ligands, whereas compound 2 features a layer structure in which 1D chains of Pb(2)O(4) clusters are further bridged by sulfonate-phosphonate ligands. Compounds 3 and 4 represent the first zero-dimensional lead(II) phosphonates and feature novel isolated hexanuclear lead(II) clusters in which six Pb(II) ions are bridged by two tetradentate and two pentadentate phosphonate groups. Compound 5 features a 3D framework that is similar to that in compound 1 despite the different coordination modes for some sulfonate groups of the ligands. The main difference is that an aqua ligand in compound 1 is replaced by a nitrogen atom of the 4,4'-bipy ligand, which results in the splitting of the large cavities in compound I into two small apertures in compound 5. Compounds 1 and 5 exhibit strong broad blue fluorescent emission bands at 398 and 420 nm, respectively. ((c) Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheirn, Germany, 2007).

The structure of [H(2)pip][GaF(SeO3)(C2O4)]center dot H2O (4) (pip = piperazine) features a 1D inorganic-organic hybrid chain of [GaF(SeO3)(C2O4)](2-) anions in which the oxalate anion is bidentate chelating and the selenite anion is tridentate bridging. The structure of [H(2)DABCO](2)[Ga4F2(SeO3)(6)(C2O4)]center dot 4H(2)O (5) exhibits a three-dimensional (3D) pillared layered architecture in which the fluorinated gallium selenite layers are further interconnected by bridging oxalate anions (the pillar).

Abstract: Hydrothermal reactions of lanthanide nitrates with selenic acid, sodium oxalate, and organic amines led to two series of new organically templated lanthanide oxalate-selenate hybrids with 2D-layer or 3D-network structures, namely, Ln(2)(SeO4)(2)(C2O4)(H2O)(4)center dot pip (Ln = Eu 1; Tb 2; Dy 3; Er 4; Yb 5) (pip = piperazine) and [H(2)PiP](2)[Ln(2)(SeO4)(2)(C2O4)(3)]center dot H2O (Ln = Er 6; Yb 7; Lu 8; Y 9).

The neutral piperazine molecules are located at the interlayer spaces and interconnect with the inorganic skeleton through hydrogen bonds. Compounds 6-9 are isostructural and possess 3D pillared layered architectures composed of lanthanide oxalate layers bridged by selenate anions (the pillar).

TL;DR: In this paper, six new divalent metal selenites have been synthesized by hydro-/solvothermal methods which leads to the incorporation of the organic template as a cation or a ligand.
Abstract: Six new divalent metal selenites have been synthesized by hydro-/solvothermal methods which leads to the incorporation of the organic template as a cation or a ligand. The structure of [H(2)pip][Cu(SeO(3))(2)] (1) (pip=piperazine) features 1D anionic chains of [Cu(SeO(3))(2)](2-) which are cross-linked by the template cations through hydrogen bonds into a 2D layer. In [Cu(C(3)H(4)N(2))(SeO(3))] (2) the organic template is coordinated to the copper(II) ion of the inorganic Cu(SeO(3)) layer. The isostructural compounds [H(2)en][M(HSeO(3))(2)Cl(2)] (en=ethylenediamine; M=Cu (3), Co (4)) contain layers of [MCl(2)(HSeO(3))(2)](2-) units (M=Cu, Co), which are cross-linked by the template cations via hydrogen bonds into a 3D network. The structure of [H(2)en][Cu(2)(SeO(3))(2)(HSeO(3))](2)H(2)O (5), consists of a pillared layered architecture in which the Cu(SeO(3)) layers are further interconnected by bridging hydrogen selenite groups (the pillar). The compound [H(2)pip][Cu(2)(Se(2)O(5))(3)] (6), which crystallizes as a 3D open framework represents the first organically templated metal diselenite. These new compounds are thermally stable up to at least 170 degrees C. All of the compounds exhibit fairly strong antiferromagnetic interactions. More interestingly, compounds 3 and 4 behave as a weak ferromagnets below the critical temperatures of T(c)=12 and 8 K, respectively, and both of them exhibit spin-flop phase transitions around 800+/-100 Oe.

Abstract: A new rare earth nickel stannide, Sm 2 NiSn 4 , has been prepared by reacting the pure elements at high temperature in welded tantalum tubes. Its crystal structure was established by single crystal X-ray diffraction studies. Sm 2 NiSn 4 crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pnma (No. 62) with cell parameters of a =16.878(2) A, b =4.4490(7) A, c =8.915(1) A, and Z =4. Its structure can be viewed as the intermediate type between ZrSi 2 and CeNiSi 2 . Sm 2 NiSn 4 features two-dimensional (2D) corrugated [NiSn 4 ] 6− layers in which the 1D Sn zigzag chains and the 2D Sn square sheets are bridged by Ni atoms. The Sm 3+ cations are located at the interlayer space. Results of both resistivity measurements and extended-Huckel tight-binding band structure calculations indicate that Sm 2 NiSn 4 is metallic.
