An experimental investigation of the stabilization of the turquoise-colored chromophore Mn(5+)O4 in various oxide hosts, viz., A3(VO4)2 (A = Ba, Sr, Ca), YVO4, and Ba2MO4 (M = Ti, Si), has been carried out. The results reveal that substitution of Mn(5+)O4 occurs in Ba3(VO4)2 forming the entire solid solution series Ba3(V1-xMnxO4)2 (0 < x ≤ 1.0), while with the corresponding strontium derivative, only up to about 10% of Mn(5+)O4 substitution is possible. Ca3(VO4)2 and YVO4 do not stabilize Mn(5+)O4 at all. With Ba2MO4 (M = Ti, Si), we could prepare only partially substituted materials, Ba2M1-xMn(5+)xO4+x/2 for x up to 0.15, that are turquoise-colored. We rationalize the results that a large stabilization of the O 2p-valence band states occurs in the presence of the electropositive barium that renders the Mn(5+) oxidation state accessible in oxoanion compounds containing PO4(3-), VO4(3-), etc. By way of proof-of-concept, we synthesized new turquoise-colored Mn(5+)O4 materials, Ba5(BO3)(MnO4)2Cl and Ba5(BO3)(PO4)(MnO4)Cl, based on the apatite-Ba5(PO4)3Cl-structure.

The preparation of three new heterometallic clusters [CeMnO(OCPh)] (), [CeMnO(OCPh)] (), and [CeMnO(OH)(tbb)(HO)](NO) (; tbb = 4-Bu-benzoate) is reported. They all possess unprecedented structures with a common feature being the presence of an octahedral Ce-oxo core: a Ce in , two edge-fused Ce giving a Ce bioctahedron in , or a larger Ce octahedron in . Complex is the first Ce cluster with a central μ-O.

In an assisted self-assembly approach starting from the [Mn O (piv) (4-Me-py) (pivH) ] cluster a family of Mn-Ln compounds (Ln=Pr-Yb) was synthesised. The reaction of [Mn O (piv) (4-Me-py) (pivH) ] (1) with N-methyldiethanolamine (mdeaH ) and Ln(NO ) ⋅ 6H O in MeCN generally yields two main structure types: for Ln=Tb-Yb a previously reported Mn Ln motif is obtained, whereas for Ln=Pr-Eu a series of Mn Ln clusters is obtained. Within this series the Gd analogue represents a special case because it shows both structural types as well as a third Mn Ln inverse butterfly motif.

The Li-rich spinel Li4Mn5O12 (Li(Mn5/3Li1/3)O4) historically only shows a reversible cation-redox reaction, with a theoretical capacity of 135.5 mA h g-1. However, we found that a simple 400 °C solid-state synthesis method gives a Li4Mn5O12-like nanoparticulate cathode that yields significant reversible hybrid cation- and anion-redox capacities.

The development of a general strategy for synthesizing hierarchical porous transition-metal oxide and chalcogenide mesoporous nanotubes, is still highly challenging. Herein we present a facile self-template strategy to synthesize Co3 O4 mesoporous nanotubes with outstanding performances in both the electrocatalytic oxygen-evolution reaction (OER) and Li-ion battery via the thermal-oxidation-induced transformation of cheap and easily-prepared Co-Asp(cobalt-aspartic acid) nanowires. The initially formed thin layers on the precursor surfaces, oxygen-induced outward diffusion of interior precursors, the gas release of organic oxidation, and subsequent Kirkendall effect are important for the appearance of the mesoporous nanotubes.
