Metallic Solids

18.2K
Metallic solids such as crystals of copper, aluminum, and iron are formed by metal atoms. The structure of metallic crystals is often described as a uniform distribution of atomic nuclei within a “sea” of delocalized electrons. The atoms within such a metallic solid are held together by a unique force known as metallic bonding that gives rise to many useful and varied bulk properties.
All metallic solids exhibit high thermal and electrical conductivity, metallic luster, and malleability....

Ionic Crystal Structures

14.1K
Ionic crystals consist of two or more different kinds of ions that usually have different sizes. The packing of these ions into a crystal structure is more complex than the packing of metal atoms that are the same size.
Most monatomic ions behave as charged spheres, and their attraction for ions of opposite charge is the same in every direction. Consequently, stable structures for ionic compounds result (1) when ions of one charge are surrounded by as many ions as possible of the opposite...

Crystal Field Theory - Octahedral Complexes

Crystal Field Theory
To explain the observed behavior of transition metal complexes (such as colors), a model involving electrostatic interactions between the electrons from the ligands and the electrons in the unhybridized d orbitals of the central metal atom has been developed. This electrostatic model is crystal field theory (CFT). It helps to understand, interpret, and predict the colors, magnetic behavior, and some structures of coordination compounds of transition metals.
CFT focuses on...

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Nanotechnology
  • Crystallography

Background:

  • Superlattices with spatially modulated compositions create artificial materials with tunable electronic and optical properties.
  • Conventional superlattices offer one-dimensional potential modulation, enabling devices like high-electron-mobility transistors.
  • Recent advances include self-assembled superlattices with multi-dimensional structural modulation but often lack atomic precision.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report a one-pot synthesis of multi-dimensional single-crystalline superlattices with atomic precision.
  • To demonstrate the use of zirconium (IV) metal-organic frameworks as templates for directed nucleation and growth.
  • To create a platform for synthesizing advanced porous superlattices with tunable properties.

Main Methods:

  • One-pot synthesis utilizing zirconium (IV) metal-organic frameworks as host templates.
  • Coordination-assisted assembly strategy for directed nucleation and growth of metal-halide sublattices.
  • Characterization using single-crystal X-ray crystallography and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy.

Main Results:

  • Successful synthesis of a family of single-crystalline porous superlattices with periodic arrangement of zero-, one-, and two-dimensional building units.
  • High-order superlattice structure with deterministic atomic coordinates was resolved.
  • Perovskite-like superlattices with tunable photoluminescence and chiroptical properties were produced after amine treatment.

Conclusions:

  • A new platform for high-order single-crystalline porous superlattices has been established.
  • This approach overcomes limitations of structural disorder in self-assembled superlattices.
  • The synthesized superlattices offer opportunities to tailor electronic, optical, and quantum properties beyond conventional crystalline solids.
