The monoclinic form of trilithium dichromium(III) tris-(ortho-phosphate), Li3Cr2(PO4)3, was prepared by the reactive halide flux method. The structure of the title compound is composed of a three-dimensional anionic framework with composition ∞ (3)[Cr2(PO4)3](3-) and Li(+) ions situated in the empty channels. The rigid framework built up from CrO6 octa-hedra and PO4 tetra-hedra is the same as that found in other monoclinic Li3 M 2(PO4)3 (M = Fe, Sc, V) phases. The three Li(+) cations of Li3Cr2(PO4)3 are unequally disordered over six crystallographically different sites. The classical charge balance of the title compound can be represented as [Li(+)]3[Cr(3+)]2[P(5+)]3[O(2-)]12. Solid-state UV/Vis spectra indicate that the crystal filed splitting (Δ0) of the Cr(3+) ion is around 2.22 eV.

Reductive phosphatization is an original synthesis approach to the formation of transition metal phosphates (TMPs). The approach enables the synthesis of known TMPs, but also new compounds, especially with transition metals in a low-valent state. However, to exploit the enormous potential of this synthesis method, it is necessary to identify and characterize all of the potential intermediates and final synthesis products.

Of the few weberite-type Na-ion cathodes explored to date, NaFeF exhibits the best performance, with capacities up to 184 mAh/g and energy densities up to 550 Wh/kg reported for this material. However, the development of robust structure-property relationships for this material is complicated by its tendency to form as a mixture of metastable polymorphs, and transform to a lower-energy Na FeF perovskite compound during electrochemical cycling. Our first-principles-guided exploration of Fe-based weberite solid solutions with redox-inactive Mg and Al predicts an enhanced thermodynamic stability of NaMg Fe F as the Mg content is increased, and the = 0.

Chalcogenides are the most important infrared nonlinear optical (NLO) material candidates, and the exploration of high-performance ones is attractive and challengeable. Hitherto, there is no NLO scandium (Sc) chalcogenides experimentally studied. Here, new quaternary Sc thiophosphate CsScPS (CSPS) was synthesized by the facile metal oxide-boron-sulfur/reactive flux hybrid solid-state method.

The crystal structure of the title organic-inorganic hybrid salt, (CHN)[CdCl], (I), has been reported with four mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit in a monoclinic cell [Vassilyeva (2021 ▸). , , 7713-7722]. While using two different aldehydes in the oxidative cyclization-condensation involving CHNH·HCl to prepare a new monovalent cation with the imidazo[1,5-]pyridinium skeleton, a new polymorph was obtained for (I) in space group 1 and a unit cell with approximately half the volume of the monoclinic form.
