With the preparation of B -type La[AsO 3 ] crystallizing in the monoclinic space group P 2 1 / c with the lattice parameters a = 904.03(8), b = 789.96(7), c = 837.49(7) pm and β = 103.354(3)°, both A - and B -type Ln [AsO 3 ] representatives are now available for lanthanum and cerium. The crystal structure consists of two crystallographically distinct Ln 3+ cations with eight- or ninefold coordination by O 2− anions. The Ln 3+ cations are arranged in layers of ( Ln 1) 3+ and corrugated bilayers of ( Ln 2) 3+ cations in the (100) plane. The two different As 3+ cations appear in [AsO 3 ] 3− units, which differ mainly in their environment of Ln 3+ cations. The successful synthesis of the compounds Ln 2 As 4 O 9 ( Ln = Pr, Nd, Eu and Gd) reported here on the one hand closes the structural gap between cerium and neodymium, and on the other hand also extends the spectrum of ternary oxoarsenates(III) of lanthanoids to gadolinium, with the neodymium compound for the first time at standard temperature.

The oxidic environments on these sites show the shape of square antiprisms with significant distortions, but ( Ln 2) 3+ has a ninth oxygen contact in a capped antiprism. The linkage of the polyhedra creates layers in the ab plane, which are separated by the complex anions of arsenic. The oxoarsenate(III) units [AsO 3 ] 3− are linked by sharing oxygen corners to form both dinuclear [As 2 O 5 ] 4− and cyclic tetranuclear [As 4 O 8 ] 4− complex anions, which is why the compounds can also be represented with their structured molecular formula Ln 4 [As 2 O 5 ] 2 [As 4 O 8 ].

The structure analysis revealed that the manganese(II) center has a six-coordinated octahedral coordination geometry. The performance of a Mn(II) complex-doped carbon paste electrode (Mn-CPE) in the electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) was evaluated by linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) methods. The polarization curve shows that the η 10 298K (overpotential, 10 mA cm −2 ) of the Mn-CPE was positively shifted by 341 mV compared with the bare CPE (without complex). The Tafel slope of the Mn-CPE was 161 mV dec −1 . These data indicate that the Mn-CPE was effective in the HER electrocatalytic reaction. For EIS experiments, the arc diameter of the high-frequency region of the Mn-CPE was much smaller than that of the bare CPE, which further indicates the effective catalytic capacity of the Mn(II) complex for hydrogen evolution. The information obtained from this study will help to expand the application of Mn(II) complexes in the field of electrochemistry.","PeriodicalId":23831,"journal":{"name":"Zeitschrift für Naturforschung B","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135298776","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
