The reaction products were examined experimentally by powder X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry (TGA/DSC), simultaneous thermogravimetric modulated beam mass spectrometry (STMBMS), and temperature-programmed desorption (TPD). The Ca(BH4)/LiNH2 system produces a single crystalline compound assigned to LiCa(BH4)2(NH2). In contrast, ball milling of the Ca(BH4)/NaNH2 system leads to a mixture of NaBH4 and Ca(NH2)2 produced by a metathesis reaction and another phase we assign to NaCa(BH4)2(NH2). Hydrogen desorption from the LiCa(BH4)2(NH2) compound starts around 150 °C, which is more than 160 °C lower than that from pure Ca(BH4)2. Hydrogen is the major gaseous species released from these materials; however various amounts of ammonia form as well. A comparison of the TGA/DSC, STMBMS, and TPD data suggests that the amount of NH3 released is lower when the desorption reaction is performed in a closed vessel. There is no evidence for diborane (B2H6) release from LiCa(BH4)2(NH2), but traces of other volatile boron-nitrogen species (B2N2H4 and BN3H3) are observed at 0.3 mol % of hydrogen released. Theoretical investigations of the possible crystal structures and detailed phase diagrams of the Li-Ca-B-N-H system were conducted using the prototype electrostatic ground state (PEGS) method and multiple gas canonical linear programming (MGCLP) approaches. The theory is in qualitative agreement with the experiments and explains how ammonia desorption in a closed volume can be suppressed. The reduced hydrogen desorption temperature of LiCa(BH4)2(NH2) relative to Ca(BH4)2 is believed to originate from intramolecular destabilization.

Copper I 7400 A New Class of Hybrid Materials via Salt Inclusion: Novel Copper(II) Arsenates Na 5... more Copper I 7400 A New Class of Hybrid Materials via Salt Inclusion: Novel Copper(II) Arsenates Na 5 ACu 4 (AsO 4) 4 Cl 2 (A: Rb, Cs) Composed of Alternating Covalent and Ionic Lattices.-The title compounds are synthesized by solid state reactions employing molten salt as a reactive flux. Single crystals of Na 5 CsCu 4 (AsO 4) 4 Cl 2 , for example, are obtained from a mixture of As 2 O 5 , CuO, and Na 2 O in the NaCl/CsCl eutectic flux (70% yield). Thermal decomposition of the title compounds leads to the formation of NaCuAsO 4 at 900°C and beyond. The title compounds exhibit a composite structure of alternating magnetic and insulating slabs. The magnetic slab contains highly oriented [Cu 4 O 12 ] 16tetrameric units forming a cyclo-S 8-like Cu 4 O 4 ring. The insulating slab consists of a novel ionic framework of mixed alkali metal chloride and rarely seen Na 6 O 8 clusters.

The compounds were characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction, UV−vis spectroscopy, and magnetic susceptibility measurements. NaCuAsO 4 crystallizes in a monoclinic lattice with a) 6.002 (1) Å, b) 10.853 (2) Å, c) 10.373 (2) Å,) 91.50 (3)°, and V) 675.4(2) Å 3 ; P2 1 /c (No. 14); Z) 8. The newly isolated sodium copper(II) arsenate reveals a pseudo-one-dimensional channel structure where the sodium cations reside. The extended framework contains nanostructured [Cu 4 O 16 ] 24magnetic clusters that are interlinked by closed-shell, nonmagnetic AsO 4 3oxy anions via sharing vertex oxygen atoms of the CuO 5 and AsO 4 polyhedral units. Each [Cu 4 O 16 ] 24cluster consists of four CuO 5 square pyramidal units in a chair configuration centered by a center of inversion. The two crystallographically independent Cu 2+ cations adopt the [4 + 1] CuO 5 Jahn−Teller distortion giving rise to an intense d−d transition in UV−vis absorption spectra. The magnetic susceptibility measurements reveal that the title compound is antiferromagnetic. At high temperatures, the data follows a pure Curie law, suggesting noninteracting spins, but with a rapid suppression of the effective spin below T) 70 K. At low temperature, the susceptibility collapses, indicating spin gap formation as the magnetic-cluster material settles into the lowest energy magnetic singlet state. The current work in the exploratory synthesis of oxy compounds containing nanostructured transition-metal-oxide magnetic clusters leads to new materials for experimental and theoretical developments of magnetic models.

Separation experiments are performed by Goodyear Chemical; (5) Isoprene/n-pentane separations have been demonstrated by using both zeolite membranes and modified bulk zeolites at various temperatures on the Goodyear Pilot-scale unit; and (6) Target zeolite membrane separations values of 6.7% isoprene enrichment have been established by economic analysis calculations by Burns & McDonnell.

The material has a layered structure comprised of square Cu4O4 tetramers. The Cu ions are divalent and the system behaves as a low-dimensional S=1/2 antiferromagnet. Spin exchange in Na5RbCu4(AsO4)4Cl2 appears to be quasi-two-dimensional and non-frustrated. Measurements of the bulk magnetic susceptibility and heat capacity are consistent with low-dimensional magnetism. The compound has an interesting, low-entropy, magnetic transition at T = 17 K.
