The structure of Y 3 Ru was refined from single-crystal X-ray diffractometer data: Fe 3 C type, Pnma , a = 732.51(7), b = 925.61(8), c = 633.66(10) pm, w R = 0.0639, 811 F 2 values, 23 variables. The ruthenium atoms have coordination number 9 in form of a strongly distorted tricapped trigonal yttrium prism with Ru–Y distances ranging from 275–391 pm. The second substructure concerns empty Y 6 octahedra ( d (Y–Y) = 344–396 pm). Electronic structure calculations show a net charge transfer from yttrium to ruthenium and underpin the essentially covalent Y–Ru bonding. A phase-pure sample of Y 3 Ru was synthesized from the elements by arc-melting. Temperature-dependent magnetic susceptibility studies of this sample reveal Pauli paramagnetism (3.6(1) × 10 −5 emu mol −1 at T = 300 K).","PeriodicalId":23831,"journal":{"name":"Zeitschrift für Naturforschung B","volume":"195 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":"135297908","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}

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}

The quenched phases are assigned to the MgCu2 structure, while the annealed ones adopt the MgCu4Sn type, a translationengleiche superstructure variant of the aristotype. The annealing time has a substantial influence on the degree of ordering and is expressed in the lattice parameters, i.e. larger ones for the disordered samples.
