We report the nonaqueous synthesis of Cd(CN)<sub>2</sub> by oxidation of cadmium metal with Hg(CN)<sub>2</sub> in liquid ammonia. The reaction proceeds <i>via</i> an intermediate of composition Cd(NH<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub>[Cd(CN)<sub>4</sub>], which converts to Cd(CN)<sub>2</sub> on prolonged heating. Powder X-ray diffraction measurements allow us to determine the crystal structure of the previously-unreported Cd(NH<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub>[Cd(CN)<sub>4</sub>], which we find to adopt a twofold interpenetrating PtS topology. We discuss the effect of partial oxidation on the Cd/Hg composition of this intermediate, as well as its implications for the reconstructive nature of the deammination process. Variable-temperature X-ray diffraction measurements allow us to characterise the anisotropic negative thermal expansion (NTE) behaviour of Cd(NH<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub>[Cd(CN)<sub>4</sub>] together with the effect of Cd/Hg substitution; <i>ab initio</i> density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal a similarly anomalous mechanical response in the form of both negative linear compressibility (NLC) and negative Poisson's ratios.

Cs2Se5 results from the reaction of the elements in liquid ammonia. It crystallizes with the K2S5- type structure (space group P212121; Z = 4). The cell constants are as follows: a - 7.420(2) Å , b - 18.879(4) Å , c = 7.105(1) Å. The structure is characterized by unbranched chains Se52- with a trans conformation. Rb2TeSe4 is synthesized from a mixture of Rb2Se3, Se, and Te (melting-reaction, 600 °C, 5 days). Its structure is isotypic with Rb2Te5 (space group C2/m, Z = 2). The cell constants are: a = 11.473(3) Å , b - 8.590(1) Å, c = 5.253(1) Å, β = 119.75(2)°. The structure contains an infinite polyanion of sixmembered rings of tellurium and selenium, connected via common vertices.

ABSTRACTAt present, crystalline ceramic based on titanate pyrochlore, (Ca,Gd,Hf,Pu,U)2Ti2O7, is considered as the US candidate waste form for the immobilization of weapons grade plutonium. Naturally occuring U-bearing minerals with pyrochlore-type structure: hatchettolite, betafite, and ellsworthite, were studied in orders to understand long-term radiation damage effects in Pu ceramic waste forms. Chemical shifts (δ) of U(Lδ1)– and U(Lβ1) – X-ray emission lines were measured by X-ray spectrometry. Calculations were performed on the basis of a two-dimensional δLá1- and δLδ1- correlation diagram. It was shown that 100% of uranium in hatchettolite and, probably, 95-100% of uranium in betafite are in the form of (UO2)2+. formal calculation shows that in ellsworthite only 20% of uranium is in the form of U4+ and 80% of the rest is in the forms of U5+ and U6+. The conversion of the initial U4+ ion originally occurring in the pyrochlore structure of natural minerals to (UO2)2+ due to metamict decay causes a significant increase in uranium mobility.

After the research, the authors came to the conclusion: it is necessary to get a new, interstate platform-type structure for the development, production and large-scale implementation of civil hydrogen technologies for various fields of activity and the state.
