ABSTRACT

Bi2 S3 was dissolved in the presence of NaCl in the ionic liquid [BMIm]Cl ⋅ 4AlCl3 (BMIm=1-n-butyl-3-methylimidazolium) through annealing the mixture at 180 °C. Upon cooling to room temperature, orange, air-sensitive crystals of Na(Bi7 S8 )[S(AlCl3 )3 ]2 [AlCl4 ]2 (1) precipitated. X-ray diffraction on single-crystals of 1 revealed a triclinic crystal structure that contains (Bi7 S8 )5+ spiro-dicubanes, [S(AlCl3 )3 ]2- tetrahedra triples, isolated [AlCl4 ]- tetrahedra, and sodium cations.

ABSTRACT

Invited for this month's cover is the group of Michael Ruck at the Technische Universität Dresden (Germany). The cover picture shows the spiro-dicubane Bi7 S8 5+ in the center, accompanied by two Bi4 S4 4+ hetero-cubanes on both sides, which are shown along their threefold axis. These sulfidobismuth polycations were isolated in salts with [AlCl4 ]- and [S(AlCl3 )3 ]2- anions. The starting material was Bi2 S3 , which is generally hard to dissolve but can easily be activated under ionothermal conditions. Moreover, the presence of noble metal ions, such as Ag+ , Au+ or Pt2+ , played a crucial role for the formation of those compounds. This research was performed in the framework of the Priority Program SPP 1708 "Material Synthesis Near Room Temperature" of the German Research Council (DFG).

ABSTRACT

The application of ionic liquids for the dissolution of metal oxides is a promising field for the development of more energy- and resource-efficient metallurgical processes. Using such solutions for the production of valuable chemicals or electrochemical metal deposition requires a detailed understanding of the chemical system and the factors influencing it. In the present work, several compounds are reported that crystallize after the dissolution of copper(II) oxide in the ionic liquid [Hbet][NTf2 ]. Dependent on the initial amount of chloride, the reaction temperature and the purity of the reagent, copper crystallizes in complexes with varying coordination geometries and ligands. Subsequently, the influence of these different complex species on electrochemical properties is shown. For the first time, copper is deposited from the ionic liquid [Hbet][NTf2 ], giving promising opportunities for more resource-efficient copper plating. The copper coatings were analyzed by SEM and EDX measurements. Furthermore, a mechanism for the decomposition of [Hbet][NTf2 ] in the presence of chloride is suggested and supported by experimental evidence.

ABSTRACT

Bi2 S3 was dissolved in the presence of either AuCl/PtCl2 or AgCl in the ionic liquids [BMIm]Cl ⋅ xAlCl3 (BMIm=1-n-butyl-3-methylimidazolium; x=4-4.3) through annealing the mixtures at 180 or 200 °C. Upon cooling to room temperature, orange, air-sensitive crystals of [BMIm](Bi4 S4 )[AlCl4 ]5 (1) or Ag(Bi7 S8 )[S(AlCl3 )3 ]2 [AlCl4 ]2 (2) precipitated, respectively. 1 did not form in the absence of AuCl/PtCl2 , suggesting an essential role of the metal cations. X-ray diffraction on single-crystals of 1 revealed a monoclinic crystal structure that contains (Bi4 S4 )4+ heterocubanes and [AlCl4 ]- tetrahedra as well as [BMIm]+ cations. The intercalation of the ionic liquid was confirmed via solid state NMR spectroscopy, revealing unusual coupling behavior. The crystal structure of 2 consists of (Bi7 S8 )5+ spiro-dicubanes, [S(AlCl3 )3 ]2- tetrahedra triples, isolated [AlCl4 ]- tetrahedra, and heavily disordered silver(I) cations. No cation ordering took place in 2 upon slow cooling to 100 K.

ABSTRACT

The reaction of Bi, BiCl3 , and CuCl in the ionic liquid [BMIm]Cl⋅4 AlCl3 (BMIm=1-n-butyl-3-methylimidazolium) at 180 °C yielded air-sensitive shiny black crystals of (CuBi8 )[AlCl4 ]2 [Al2 Cl7 ] and (CuBi8 )[AlCl4 ]3 . For both compounds X-ray diffraction on single crystals revealed monoclinic structures that contain the intermetalloid cluster (CuBi8 )3+ . It is the first pure bismuth cluster with a 3d metal and the first with a metal that does not form binary intermetallics with bismuth under ambient pressure. The cluster can be interpreted either as a copper(I) cation, η4 -coordinated by a square-antiprismatic Bi82+ polycation (Bi-Cu 267 pm), or as a nine-atomic intermetalloid nido-cluster with 22 skeletal electrons and the C4v symmetry. One of the chloride ions of a tetrahedral [AlCl4 ]- group coordinates the copper atom (Cu-Cl 228 pm) and thereby completes its 18 electron count. DFT-based calculations, followed by real-space bonding analysis, revealed a multicenter bonding situation between copper and bismuth atoms with about seven shared electrons.
