There has been a great deal of recent interest in extended compounds containing Ru3+and Ru4+in light of their range of unusual physical properties. Many of these properties are displayed in compounds with the perovskite and related structures. Here we report an array of structurally diverse hybrid ruthenium halide perovskites and related compounds: MA2Ru

Abstract X 6(X =Cl or Br), MA2M RuX6(M =Na, K or Ag;X =Cl or Br) and MA3Ru2X 9(X =Br) based upon the use of methylammonium (MA=CH3NH3+) on the perovskite A site. The compounds MA2RuX 6with Ru4+crystallize in the trigonal space groupand can be described as vacancy‐ordered double‐perovskites. The ordered compounds MA2 M RuX 6with M+and Ru3+crystallize in a structure related to BaNiO3with alternatingMX 6and RuX 6face‐shared octahedra forming linear chains in the trigonalspace group. The compound MA3Ru2Br9crystallizes in the orthorhombic Cmcm space group and displays pairs of face‐sharing octahedra forming isolated Ru2Br9moieties with very short Ru–Ru contacts of 2.789 Å. The structural details, including the role of hydrogen bonding and dimensionality, as well as the optical and magnetic properties of these compounds are described. The magnetic behavior of all three classes of compounds is influenced by spin–orbit coupling and their temperature‐dependent behavior has been compared with the predictions of the appropriate Kotani models. -
Abstract Metalation of the polynucleating ligandF,tbsLH6(1,3,5‐C6H9(NC6H3−4‐F−2‐NSiMe2tBu)3) with two equivalents of Zn(N(SiMe3)2)2affords the dinuclear product (F,tbsLH2)Zn2(
1 ), which can be further deprotonated to yield (F,tbsL)Zn2Li2(OEt2)4(2 ). Transmetalation of2 with NiCl2(py)2yields the heterometallic, trinuclear cluster (F,tbsL)Zn2Ni(py) (3 ). Reduction of3 with KC8affords [KC222][(F,tbsL)Zn2Ni] (4 ) which features a monovalent Ni centre. Addition of 1‐adamantyl azide to4 generates the bridging μ3‐nitrenoid adduct [K(THF)3][(F,tbsL)Zn2Ni(μ3‐NAd)] (5 ). EPR spectroscopy reveals that the anionic cluster possesses a doublet ground state (S =). Cyclic voltammetry of 5 reveals two fully reversible redox events. The dianionic nitrenoid [K2(THF)9][(F,tbsL)Zn2Ni(μ3‐NAd)] (6 ) was isolated and characterized while the neutral redox isomer was observed to undergo both intra‐ and intermolecular H‐atom abstraction processes. Ni K‐edge XAS studies suggest a divalent oxidation state for the Ni centres in both the monoanionic and dianionic [Zn2Ni] nitrenoid complexes. However, DFT analysis suggests Ni‐borne oxidation for5 . -
Abstract We report the pulsed‐laser deposition of epitaxial double‐perovskite Bi2FeCrO6(BFCO) films on the (001)‐, (110), and (111)‐oriented single‐crystal SrTiO3substrates. All of the BFCO films with various orientations show the
and superlattice‐diffraction peaks. The intensity ratios between the ‐superlattice and the main 111‐diffraction peak can be tailored by simply adjusting the laser repetition rate and substrate temperature, reaching up to 4.4%. However, both optical absorption spectra and magnetic measurements evidence that the strong superlattice peaks are not correlated with the B ‐site Fe3+/Cr3+cation ordering. Instead, the epitaxial (111)‐oriented Bi2FeCrO6films show an enhanced remanent polarization of 92 μC/cm2at 10 K, much larger than the predicted values by density‐functional theory calculations. Positive‐up‐negative‐down (PUND) measurements with a time interval of 10 μs further support these observations. Therefore, our experimental results reveal that the strong superlattice peaks may come fromA ‐ orB ‐site cation shifts along the pseudo‐cubic [111] direction, which further enhance the ferroelectric polarization of the BFCO thin films. -
We prove the endpoint case of a conjecture of Khot and Moshkovitz related to the unique games conjecture, less a small error. Let
n ≥ 2. Suppose a subset Ω ofn ‐dimensional Euclidean spacesatisfies −Ω = Ω c and Ω +v = Ωc (up to measure zero sets) for every standard basis vector. For any and for any q ≥ 1, letand let . For any x ∈∂ Ω, letN (x ) denote the exterior normal vector atx such that ‖N (x )‖2 = 1. Let. Our main result shows that B has the smallest Gaussian surface area among all such subsets Ω, less a small error:In particular, Standard arguments extend these results to a corresponding weak inequality for noise stability. Removing the factor 6 × 10−9would prove the endpoint case of the Khot‐Moshkovitz conjecture. Lastly, we prove a Euclidean analogue of the Khot and Moshkovitz conjecture. The full conjecture of Khot and Moshkovitz provides strong evidence for the truth of the unique games conjecture, a central conjecture in theoretical computer science that is closely related to the P versus NP problem. So, our results also provide evidence for the truth of the unique games conjecture. Nevertheless, this paper does not prove any case of the unique games conjecture. -
Abstract N‐Type thermoelectrics typically consist of small molecule dopant+polymer host. Only a few polymer dopant+polymer host systems have been reported, and these have lower thermoelectric parameters. N‐type polymers with high crystallinity and order are generally used for high‐conductivity (
) organic conductors. Few n‐type polymers with only short‐range lamellar stacking for high‐conductivity materials have been reported. Here, we describe an n‐type short‐range lamellar‐stacked all‐polymer thermoelectric system with highest of 78 S−1, power factor ( PF ) of 163 μW m−1 K−2, and maximum Figure of merit (ZT ) of 0.53 at room temperature with a dopant/host ratio of 75 wt%. The minor effect of polymer dopant on the molecular arrangement of conjugated polymer PDPIN at high ratios, high doping capability, high Seebeck coefficient (S ) absolute values relative to, and atypical decreased thermal conductivity ( ) with increased doping ratio contribute to the promising performance.
