A comparative study of anticorrosive inhibited polymer films on the tungsten surface formed from an aqueous solution of inhibited formulations (INFOR) containing organosilane and corrosion inhibitors was carried out by means of the prolonged exposure of a tungsten product in a modifying solution and by the method of cataphoretic deposition (CPD). Depending on the method of forming films on tungsten, the molecular organization of the near-surface layers was studied (ATR-FTIR), and the subprimary structure of the films was explored (TEM). The optimal modes of cataphoresis deposition (CPD duration and current density applied to the sample) for the formation of a protective inhibited polymer film on the tungsten surface were established by means of SEM. The energy and thermochemical characteristics (sessile drop and DSC methods), as well as operational (adhesive behavior) and protective filming ability (EIS and corrosion behavior), according to the method of formation of inhibited polymer film, were determined. Based on the combined characteristics of the films obtained by the two methods and the deposition modes, the CPD method showed better performance than the electroless dipping method. Full article

The aza-Michael reaction of 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (1) and -silatrane (2) with acrylates affords functionalized silyl-(3–8) and silatranyl-(9–14) mono- and diadducts with up to a 99% yield. Their structure has been proved with IR and NMR spectroscopies, mass spectrometry and XRD analysis. The hydrolytic homo-condensation of triethoxysilanes 3–5 gives siloxanes 3a–5a, which form complexes with Ag, Cu, and Ni salts. They are also able to adsorb these metals from solutions. The hetero-condensation reaction of silanes 4–8 with OH groups of zeolite (Z), silica gel (S) and glass (G) delivers the modified materials (Z4, S7, G4, G5, G7, G8, etc.), which can adsorb ions of noble metal (Au, Rh, Pd: G4 + Au, G5 + Pd, G7 + Rh). Thus, the synthesized Si-organic polymers and materials turned out to be promising sorbents (enterosorbents) of noble, heavy, toxic metal ions and can be applied in industry, environment, and medicine.

Two ruthenium nitrosyl complexes of Na[RuNOCl4L] with nitronyl nitroxide radicals coordinated to ruthenium with N-donor pyridine rings were prepared and described. The crystal structure of both complexes is 1D or 2D polymeric, due to the additional coordination of sodium cation by bridging the chloride ligands or oxygen atoms of nitroxides. Partially, the oligomeric forms remain in the solutions of the complexes in acetonitrile. The magnetic measurements in the solid state demonstrate the presence of antiferromagnetic interactions through the exchange channels, with the distance between paramagnetic centers equal to 3.1–3.9 Å. The electrochemical behavior of the prepared complexes was investigated in acetonitrile solutions. Full article

The mixed ionic and electronic oxide LaNi0.6Fe0.4O3−δ (LNF) is a promising ceramic cathode material for solid oxide fuel cells. Since the reaction rate of oxygen interaction with the cathode material is extremely important, the present work considers the oxygen exchange mechanism between O2 and LNF oxide. The kinetic dependence of the oxygen/oxide interaction has been determined by two isotopic methods using 18O-labelled oxygen. The application of the isotope exchange with the gas phase equilibrium (IE-GPE) and the pulsed isotope exchange (PIE) has provided information over a wide range of temperatures (350–800 °C) and oxygen pressures (10–200 mbar), as each method has different applicability limits. Applying mathematical models to treat the kinetic relationships, the oxygen exchange rate (rH, atom × cm−2 × s−1) and the diffusion coefficient (D, cm2/s) were calculated. The values of rH and D depend on both temperature and oxygen pressure. The activation energy of the surface exchange rate is 0.73 ± 0.05 eV for the PIE method at 200 mbar, and 0.48 ± 0.02 eV for the IE-GPE method at 10–20 mbar; for the diffusion coefficient, the activation energy equals 0.62 ± 0.01 eV at 10–20 mbar for the IE-GPE method. Differences in the mechanism of oxygen exchange and diffusion on dense and powder samples are observed due to the different microstructure and surface morphology of the samples. The influence of oxygen pressure on the ratio of contributions of different exchange types to the total oxygen exchange rate is demonstrated. For the first time, the rate-determining step in the oxygen exchange process for LNF material has been identified. This paper discusses the reasons for the difference in the mechanisms of oxygen exchange and diffusion. Full article

Crystal Structure and Thermal Properties of Double-Complex Salts [M1(NH3)6][M2(C2O4)3] (M1, M2 = Co, Rh) and K3[Rh(NH3)6][Rh(C2O4)3]2∙6H2O

Here, seven new double-complex salts, [M1(NH3)6][M2(C2O4)3] (M1, M2 = Co, Rh) and K3[Rh(NH3)6][Rh(C2O4)3]2∙6H2O types, are synthesised. The crystal structure and composition of DCS (double-complex salts) are studied by SCXRD, XRD, CHN and IR methods. The complex salts of the [M1(NH3)6][M2(C2O4)3] (M1, M2 = Co, Rh) type can be crystallised both as a crystalline hydrate [M1(NH3)6][M2(C2O4)3]·3H2O (sp. gr. P-3) and as an anhydrous complex (sp. gr. P-1) depending on the synthesis conditions. The process of [Rh(NH3)6][Rh(C2O4)3] formation is significantly dependent on the synthesis temperature. At room temperature, a mixture is formed comprising [Rh(NH3)6][Rh(C2O4)3] and K3[Rh(NH3)6][Rh(C2O4)3]2∙6H2O, while the [Rh(NH3)6][Rh(C2O4)3] target product crystallises at elevated temperatures. The thermal behaviour of double-complex salts is studied by the STA, EGA-MS, IR and XRD methods. The complete decomposition of complex salts in helium and hydrogen atmospheres resulting in metals or CoxRh1−x solid solutions is achieved at temperatures of 320–450 °C. Full article

Solution behavior of K;5[(Mn(H2O))PW11O39]·7H2O (1), Na3.66(NH4)4.74H3.1[(MnII(H2O))2.75(WO(H2O))0.25(α-B-SbW9O33)2]·27H2O (2), and Na4.6H3.4[(MnII(H2O)3)2(WO2)2(β-B-TeW9O33)2]·19H2O (3) was studied with NMR-relaxometry and HPLC-ICP-AES (High Performance Liquid Chromatography coupled with Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectroscopy). According to the data, the [(Mn(H2O))PW11O39]5− Keggin-type anion is the most stable in water among the tested complexes, even in the presence of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) or diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA). Aqueous solutions of 2 and 3 anions are less stable and contain other species resulting from dissociation of Mn2+. Quantum chemical calculations show the change in Mn2+ electronic state between [Mn(H2O)6]2+ and [(Mn(H2O))PW11O39]5−. Full article

Germanium and germanium-based compounds are widely used in microelectronics, optics, solar cells, and sensors. Recently, germanium and its oxides, nitrides, and phosphides have been studied as active electrode materials in lithium- and sodium-ion battery anodes. Herein, the newly introduced highly soluble germanium oxide (HSGO) was used as a versatile precursor for germanium-based functional materials. In the first stage, a germanium-dioxide-reduced graphene oxide (rGO) composite was obtained by complete precipitation of GeO2 nanoparticles on the GO from an aqueous solution of HSGO and subsequent thermal treatment in argon at low temperature. The composition of the composite, GeO2-rGO (20 to 80 wt.% of crystalline phase), was able to be accurately determined by the HSGO to GO ratio in the initial solution since complete deposition and precipitation were achieved. The chemical activity of germanium dioxide nanoparticles deposited on reduced graphene oxide was shown by conversion to rGO-supported germanium nitride and phosphide phases. The GeP-rGO and Ge3N4-rGO composites with different morphologies were prepared in this study for the first time. As a test case, composite materials with different loadings of GeO2, GeP, and Ge3N4 were evaluated as lithium-ion battery anodes. Reversible conversion–alloying was demonstrated in all cases, and for the low-germanium loading range (20 wt.%), almost theoretical charge capacity based on the germanium content was attained at 100 mA g−1 (i.e., 2595 vs. 2465 mAh g−1 for Ge3N4 and 1790 vs. 1850 mAh g−1 for GeP). The germanium oxide was less efficiently exploited due to its lower conversion reversibility. Full article
