TY - JOUR A1 - Grüneberger, Anja Maria A1 - Schmidt, Christian A1 - Jahn, Sandro A1 - Rhede, Dieter A1 - Loges, Anselm A1 - Wilke, Max T1 - Interpretation of Raman spectra of the zircon-hafnon solid solution JF - European journal of mineralogy N2 - Zircon (ZrSiO4), hafnon (HfSiO4) and five intermediate compositions were synthesized from a Pb silicate melt. The resulting crystals were 20-300 mu m in size and displayed sector and growth zoning. Raman spectra were acquired at locations in the sample for which preceding electron microprobe (EMP) analyses revealed sufficient compositional homogeneity. The dataset documents shifts of Raman bands with changing composition. In this study, bands that have previously not been reported were found for the intermediate compositions and for pure hafnon, in particular at wavenumbers less than 200 cm(-1). For these external modes, the dataset provides new insight into the compositional dependence of their frequencies. Density-functional theory calculations support the observations and are used for a detailed interpretation of the spectra. The pitfalls of the EMP analysis along the zircon-hafnon join are highlighted.

Complexes of Ag(I), Pd(II), and Ir(I) were successfully produced using known procedures using ligands derived from glycine, alanine, β-alanine and phenylalanine. The complexes were characterized in solid state using X-Ray crystallography, which allowed for the steric and electronic comparison of these ligands to well-known NHC ligands within analogous metal complexes. The palladium complexes were tested as catalysts for aqueous-phase Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling. Water-solubility could be induced via ester hydrolysis of the N-bound groups in the presence of base. The mono-NHC–Pd complexes were seen to be highly active in the coupling of aryl bromides with phenylboronic acid; the active catalyst of which was determined to be mostly Pd(0) nanoparticles. Kinetic studies determined that reaction proceeds quickly in the coupling of bromoacetophenone, for both pre-hydrolyzed and in-situ hydrolysis catalyst dissolution. The catalyst could also be recycled for an extra run by simply re-using the aqueous layer. The imidazolium salts were also used to produce organosilica hybrid materials. This was attempted via two methods: by post-grafting onto a commercial organosilica, and co-condensation of the corresponding organosilane. The co-condensation technique harbours potential for the production of solid-support catalysts. N2 - Um Katalysatoren aus nachhaltigen Chemikalien herzustellen, wurden 1,3-Dicarbonsäure-Imidazolium-Salze, welche aus Aminosäuren synthetisiert wurden als N-heterozyklische-Carben-Liganden (NHC) in Metallkomplexen modifiziert. Liganden aus Glycin, Alanin, β-Alanin und Phenylalanin wurden wiederum genutzt, um Metallkomplexe aus Silber(I), Palladium(II) und Iridium(I) darzustellen. Alle Komplexverbindungen wurden mit Röntgenkristallographie charakterisiert. Die Palladiumkomplexe wurden als Katalysatoren in der Suzuki-Miyaura Reaktion eingesetzt. Durch zusätzliche Hydrolyse der Ester-Gruppen konnte eine gute Wasserlöslichkeit erreicht werden. Die hohe Aktivität der Mono-NHC–Palladium-Komplexe konnte bei der Kupplung von Arylbromiden mit Phenylboronsäuren aufgezeigt werden. Die aktive Spezies wurde hauptsächlich Pd(0) Nanopartikeln zugeschrieben. Nach erfolgreichem Recycling konnte der Katalysator noch einmal wiederverwendet werden. Die Imidazolium-Salze wurden ebenfalls herangezogen, um Organosilicamaterialien zu synthetisieren. Die Herstellung wurde durch zwei Methoden erreicht. Zum einen durch nachträgliches Aufbringen auf kommerzielle Siliziummaterialien, sowie durch Co-Kondensation auf das entsprechende Organosilan. Diese Co-Kondensation birgt Potential zur Herstellung von festen Trägerkatalysatoren.
