Communications We postulated that the attenuated tendencyfor dimeriza- tion with decreasing ionic radius was due to an effective 2 closing of the (N,O)3 aperture formed by the three h -(N,O) 3 arms of the TriNOx À ligand. To quantify the decrease in aperture size,wedetermined the percent buried volume [18] (%Vbur)for [Nd(TriNOx)thf] and [Dy(TriNOx)thf]. Upon changing the metal from Nd to Dy,wecalculated an increase in %Vbur from 79.9%to81.3%, respectively.Wecontend that this small, but significant, increase in the %Vbur and the change in size of the (N,O)3 molecular aperture is responsible for shifting the thermodynamic preference from dimer to monomer in the TriNOx system. Thepreferential formation of dimeric structures from the 3 larger cations La and Nd with the TriNOx À ligand and monomeric ones from the smaller Dy and Ywas promising for targeted separations of Nd and Dy.Totest for the formation of mixed metal dimers,which would interfere with aclean separation, 1HEXSY NMR spectroscopic experi- ments were performed on mixtures of [Nd(TriNOx)thf] and [Dy(TriNOx)thf] in CD2Cl2.Noexchange was detected between Nd and Dy during these experiments. 1HEXSY NMR spectroscopic experiments were also performed on mixtures of [Nd(TriNOx)thf] and [Y(TriNOx)thf],adiamag- netic analogue of the [Dy(TriNOx)thf] complex, to allow for longer delay times;nocation exchange was detected in the Nd/Y experiments (see the Supporting Information).

  • The Important Role of Dysprosium in Modern Permanent Magnets
    The Important Role of Dysprosium in Modern Permanent Magnets Introduction Dysprosium is one of a group of elements called the Rare Earths. Rare earth elements consist of the Lanthanide series of 15 elements plus yttrium and scandium. Yttrium and scandium are included because of similar chemical behavior. The rare earths are divided into light and heavy based on atomic weight and the unique chemical and magnetic properties of each of these categories. Dysprosium (Figure 1) is considered a heavy rare earth element (HREE). One of the more important uses for dysprosium is in neodymium‐iron‐ boron (Neo) permanent magnets to improve the magnets’ resistance to demagnetization, and by extension, its high temperature performance. Neo magnets have become essential for a wide range of consumer, transportation, power generation, defense, aerospace, medical, industrial and other products. Along with terbium (Tb), Dysprosium (Dy) Figure 1: Dysprosium Metal(1) is also used in magnetostrictive devices, but by far the greater usage is in permanent magnets. The demand for Dy has been outstripping its supply. An effect of this continuing shortage is likely to be a slowing of the commercial rollout or a redesigning of a number of Clean Energy applications, including electric traction drives for vehicles and permanent magnet generators for wind turbines. The shortage and associated high prices are also upsetting the market for commercial and industrial motors and products made using them. Background Among the many figures of merit for permanent magnets two are of great importance regarding use of Dy. One key characteristic of a permanent magnet is its resistance to demagnetization, which is quantified by the value of Intrinsic Coercivity (HcJ or Hci).

  • Rare Earth Elements in National Defense: Background, Oversight Issues, and Options for Congress
    Rare Earth Elements in National Defense: Background, Oversight Issues, and Options for Congress Valerie Bailey Grasso Specialist in Defense Acquisition December 23, 2013 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov R41744 Rare Earth Elements in National Defense Summary Some Members of Congress have expressed concern over U.S. acquisition of rare earth materials composed of rare earth elements (REE) used in various components of defense weapon systems. Rare earth elements consist of 17 elements on the periodic table, including 15 elements beginning with atomic number 57 (lanthanum) and extending through number 71 (lutetium), as well as two other elements having similar properties (yttrium and scandium). These are referred to as “rare” because although relatively abundant in total quantity, they appear in low concentrations in the earth’s crust and extraction and processing is both difficult and costly. From the 1960s to the 1980s, the United States was the leader in global rare earth production. Since then, production has shifted almost entirely to China, in part due to lower labor costs and lower environmental standards. Some estimates are that China now produces about 90- 95% of the world’s rare earth oxides and is the majority producer of the world’s two strongest magnets, samarium cobalt (SmCo) and neodymium iron boron (NeFeB) permanent, rare earth magnets. In the United States, Molycorp, a Mountain Pass, CA mining company, recently announced the purchase of Neo Material Technologies. Neo Material Technologies makes specialty materials from rare earths at factories based in China and Thailand. Molycorp also announced the start of its new heavy rare earth production facilities, Project Phoenix, which will process rare earth oxides from ore mined from the Mountain Pass facilities.

  • Periodic Table 1 Periodic Table
    Periodic table 1 Periodic table This article is about the table used in chemistry. For other uses, see Periodic table (disambiguation). The periodic table is a tabular arrangement of the chemical elements, organized on the basis of their atomic numbers (numbers of protons in the nucleus), electron configurations , and recurring chemical properties. Elements are presented in order of increasing atomic number, which is typically listed with the chemical symbol in each box. The standard form of the table consists of a grid of elements laid out in 18 columns and 7 Standard 18-column form of the periodic table. For the color legend, see section Layout, rows, with a double row of elements under the larger table. below that. The table can also be deconstructed into four rectangular blocks: the s-block to the left, the p-block to the right, the d-block in the middle, and the f-block below that. The rows of the table are called periods; the columns are called groups, with some of these having names such as halogens or noble gases. Since, by definition, a periodic table incorporates recurring trends, any such table can be used to derive relationships between the properties of the elements and predict the properties of new, yet to be discovered or synthesized, elements. As a result, a periodic table—whether in the standard form or some other variant—provides a useful framework for analyzing chemical behavior, and such tables are widely used in chemistry and other sciences. Although precursors exist, Dmitri Mendeleev is generally credited with the publication, in 1869, of the first widely recognized periodic table.
