Intramolecular electronic interactions were investigated in five series of 12-, 10-, and 6-vertex closo-boranes and hydrocarbons (benzene, acetylene, bicyclo[2.2.2]octane, and cubane) substituted with triple-bonded groups Y≡Z (C≡CR, C≡N, C≡O, and N≡N). Structural data (single crystal X-ray crystallography), spectroscopic properties (UV, IR, and NMR), chemical behavior (dediazoniation reactions), and electronic structure calculations (hybridization and π bond order) are all in agreement that the degree of electronic conjugation between the cluster and the Y≡Z substituent is lowest for the 12-vertex closo-borane and highest for the 6-vertex analog.

A rare-earth-containing compound, ytterbium aluminium antimonide, Yb3AlSb3 (Ca3AlAs3-type structure), has been successfully synthesized within the Yb–Al–Sb system through flux methods. According to the Zintl formalism, this structure is nominally made up of (Yb2+)3[(Al1−)(1b – Sb2−)2(2b – Sb1−)], where 1b and 2b indicate 1-bonded and 2-bonded, respectively, and Al is treated as part of the covalent anionic network. The crystal structure features infinite corner-sharing AlSb4 tetrahedra, [AlSb2Sb2/2]6−, with Yb2+ cations residing between the tetrahedra to provide charge balance. Herein, the synthetic conditions, the crystal structure determined from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data, and electronic structure calculations are reported.

AbstractThe equiatomic rare earth iridium indidesREIrIn (RE=La, Pr, Nd, Er–Yb) were synthesized by reaction of the elements in induction or muffle furnaces and were characterized through X-ray powder patterns. The structures of LaIr0.86In1.14, PrIr0.89In1.11, NdIr0.94In1.06, ErIrIn (all ZrNiAl type,P6̅2m), and YbIrIn (TiNiSi type,Pnma) were refined from single crystal X-ray diffractometer data. Refinements of the occupancy parameters revealed small degrees of solid solutions with indium substitution on the iridium sites. Chemical bonding analyses and electronic structure calculations indicate the dominance of metallic bonding in addition to partial ionic interactions between the cations and polyanions, as well as covalent contributions between the indium and iridium atoms.

Two pyridine-ketoiminate-based organoboron complexes were demonstrated to possess aggregation-induced emission, large Stokes shift and high quantum yield in the solid-state, which were rationalized through X-ray crystal analysis and electronic structure calculations.
