  • Crystal Structure of a Material Is Way in Which Atoms, Ions, Molecules Are Spatially Arranged in 3-D Space
    Crystalline Structures – The Basics •Crystal structure of a material is way in which atoms, ions, molecules are spatially arranged in 3-D space. •Crystal structure = lattice (unit cell geometry) + basis (atom, ion, or molecule positions placed on lattice points within the unit cell). •A lattice is used in context when describing crystalline structures, means a 3-D array of points in space. Every lattice point must have identical surroundings. •Unit cell: smallest repetitive volume •Each crystal structure is built by stacking which contains the complete lattice unit cells and placing objects (motifs, pattern of a crystal. A unit cell is chosen basis) on the lattice points: to represent the highest level of geometric symmetry of the crystal structure. It’s the basic structural unit or building block of crystal structure. 7 crystal systems in 3-D 14 crystal lattices in 3-D a, b, and c are the lattice constants 1 a, b, g are the interaxial angles Metallic Crystal Structures (the simplest) •Recall, that a) coulombic attraction between delocalized valence electrons and positively charged cores is isotropic (non-directional), b) typically, only one element is present, so all atomic radii are the same, c) nearest neighbor distances tend to be small, and d) electron cloud shields cores from each other. •For these reasons, metallic bonding leads to close packed, dense crystal structures that maximize space filling and coordination number (number of nearest neighbors). •Most elemental metals crystallize in the FCC (face-centered cubic), BCC (body-centered cubic, or HCP (hexagonal close packed) structures: Room temperature crystal structure Crystal structure just before it melts 2 Recall: Simple Cubic (SC) Structure • Rare due to low packing density (only a-Po has this structure) • Close-packed directions are cube edges.

  • Tetrahedral Coordination with Lone Pairs
    TETRAHEDRAL COORDINATION WITH LONE PAIRS In the examples we have discussed so far, the shape of the molecule is defined by the coordination geometry; thus the carbon in methane is tetrahedrally coordinated, and there is a hydrogen at each corner of the tetrahedron, so the molecular shape is also tetrahedral. It is common practice to represent bonding patterns by "generic" formulas such as AX4, AX2E2, etc., in which "X" stands for bonding pairs and "E" denotes lone pairs. (This convention is known as the "AXE method") The bonding geometry will not be tetrahedral when the valence shell of the central atom contains nonbonding electrons, however. The reason is that the nonbonding electrons are also in orbitals that occupy space and repel the other orbitals. This means that in figuring the coordination number around the central atom, we must count both the bonded atoms and the nonbonding pairs. The water molecule: AX2E2 In the water molecule, the central atom is O, and the Lewis electron dot formula predicts that there will be two pairs of nonbonding electrons. The oxygen atom will therefore be tetrahedrally coordinated, meaning that it sits at the center of the tetrahedron as shown below. Two of the coordination positions are occupied by the shared electron-pairs that constitute the O–H bonds, and the other two by the non-bonding pairs. Thus although the oxygen atom is tetrahedrally coordinated, the bonding geometry (shape) of the H2O molecule is described as bent. There is an important difference between bonding and non-bonding electron orbitals. Because a nonbonding orbital has no atomic nucleus at its far end to draw the electron cloud toward it, the charge in such an orbital will be concentrated closer to the central atom.

The interaction between the metals of the bimetallic catalyst and the structure of the bridged dimer can effectively reduce the steric hindrance effect and help speed up the reaction rate while ensuring the stability of the catalyst. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) results show that rhodium accepts electrons from chlorine, thereby increasing the electron-rich nature of rhodium and improving the catalytic activity. This promotes the nucleophilic reaction of the catalyst with methyl iodide and reduces the reaction energy barrier. The methanol carbonylation performance of the Rh/Ru catalyst was evaluated, and the results show that the conversion rate of methyl acetate and the yield of acetic acid are 96.0% under certain conditions. Furthermore, during the catalysis, no precipitate is formed and the amount of water is greatly reduced.

  • Oxidative Addition of Polar Reagents
    OXIDATIVE ADDITION OF POLAR REAGENTS Organometallic chemistry has vastly expanded the practicing organic chemist’s notion of what makes a good nucleophile or electrophile. Pre-cross-coupling, for example, using unactivated aryl halides as electrophiles was largely a pipe dream (or possible only under certain specific circumstances). Enter the oxidative addition of polarized bonds: all of a sudden, compounds like bromobenzene started looking a lot more attractive as starting materials. Cross-coupling reactionsinvolving sp2- and sp-hybridized C–X bonds beautifully complement the “classical” substitution reactions at sp3electrophilic carbons. Oxidative addition of the C–X bond is the step that kicks off the magic of these methods. In this post, we’ll explore the mechanisms and favorability trends of oxidative additions of polar reagents. The landscape of mechanistic possibilities for polarized bonds is much more rich than in the non-polar case—concerted, ionic, and radical mechanisms have all been observed. Concerted Mechanisms 2 Oxidative additions of aryl and alkenyl Csp –X bonds, where X is a halogen or sulfonate, proceed through concertedmechanisms analogous to oxidative additions of dihydrogen. Reactions of N–H and O–H bonds in amines, alcohols, and water also appear to be concerted. A π complex involving η2-coordination is an intermediate in the mechanism of insertion into aryl halides at least, and probably vinyl halides too. As two open coordination sites are necessary for concerted oxidative addition, loss of a ligand from a saturated metal complex commonly precedes the actual oxidative addition event. Concerted oxidative addition of aryl halides and sulfonates. Trends in the reactivity of alkyl and aryl (pseudo)halides toward oxidative addition are some of the most famous in organometallic chemistry.

  • Graphene Supported Rhodium Nanoparticles for Enhanced Electrocatalytic Hydrogen Evolution Reaction Ameerunisha Begum1*, Moumita Bose2 & Golam Moula2
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Graphene Supported Rhodium Nanoparticles for Enhanced Electrocatalytic Hydrogen Evolution Reaction Ameerunisha Begum1*, Moumita Bose2 & Golam Moula2 Current research on catalysts for proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) is based on obtaining higher catalytic activity than platinum particle catalysts on porous carbon. In search of a more sustainable catalyst other than platinum for the catalytic conversion of water to hydrogen gas, a series of nanoparticles of transition metals viz., Rh, Co, Fe, Pt and their composites with functionalized graphene such as RhNPs@f-graphene, CoNPs@f-graphene, PtNPs@f-graphene were synthesized and characterized by SEM and TEM techniques. The SEM analysis indicates that the texture of RhNPs@f- graphene resemble the dispersion of water droplets on lotus leaf. TEM analysis indicates that RhNPs of <10 nm diameter are dispersed on the surface of f-graphene. The air-stable NPs and nanocomposites were used as electrocatalyts for conversion of acidic water to hydrogen gas. The composite RhNPs@f- graphene catalyses hydrogen gas evolution from water containing p-toluene sulphonic acid (p-TsOH) at an onset reduction potential, Ep, −0.117 V which is less than that of PtNPs@f-graphene (Ep, −0.380 V) under identical experimental conditions whereas the onset potential of CoNPs@f-graphene was at Ep, −0.97 V and the FeNPs@f-graphene displayed onset potential at Ep, −1.58 V. The pure rhodium nanoparticles, RhNPs also electrocatalyse at Ep, −0.186 V compared with that of PtNPs at Ep, −0.36 V and that of CoNPs at Ep, −0.98 V.
