    Abstract Synthesizing solids in molten fluxes enables the rapid diffusion of soluble species at temperatures lower than in solid‐state reactions, leading to crystal formation of kinetically stable compounds. In this study, we demonstrate the effectiveness of mixed hydroxide and halide fluxes in synthesizing complex Sr/Ag/Se in mixed LiOH/LiCl. We have accessed a series of two‐dimensional Sr(Ag1−xLix)2Se2layered phases. With increased LiOH/LiCl ratio or reaction temperature, Li partially substituted Ag to form solid solutions of Sr(Ag1−xLix)2Se2withxup to 0.45. In addition, a new type of intergrowth compound [Sr3Se2][(Ag1−xLix)2Se2] was synthesized upon further reaction of Sr(Ag1−xLix)2Se2with SrSe. Both Sr(Ag1−xLix)2Se2and [Sr3Se2][(Ag1−xLix)2Se2] exhibit a direct band gap, which increases with increasing Li substitution (x). Therefore, the band gap of Sr(Ag1−xLix)2Se2can be precisely tuned via fine‐tuningxthat is controlled by only the flux ratio and temperature.

    Abstract The overarching goal of this study is to effect the elimination of platinum from adducts withcis–C≡C−Pt−C≡C‐ linkages, thereby generating novel conjugated polyynes. Thus, the bis(hexatriynyl) complextrans‐(p‐tol3P)2Pt((C≡C)3H)2is treated with 1,3‐diphosphines R2C(CH2PPh2)2to generate (R2C(CH2PPh2)2)2Pt((C≡C)3H)2(14; R=c,n‐Bu;e,p‐tolCH2). These condense with the diiodide complexes R2C(CH2PPh2)2PtI2(9 a,c) in the presence of CuI (cat.) and excess HNEt2to give the title macrocycles [(R2C(CH2PPh2)2)Pt(C≡C)3]4(16 c,e) as adducts of the byproduct [H2NEt2]+I−(30–66 %). DOSY NMR experiments establish that this association is maintained in solution, but NaOAc removes the ammonium salt. The bis(triethylsilylpolyynyl) complexes (n‐Bu2C(CH2PPh2)2)Pt((C≡C)nSiEt3)2(n=2, 3) are synthesized analogously to14 c. They react with I2at rt to give mainly the diiodide complex9 cand the coupling product Et3Si(C≡CC≡C)nSiEt3. The possibility of competing reactions giving IC≡C species is investigated. Analogous reactions of the Pt4C24macrocycle16 calso give9 c, but no sp13C NMR signals or mass spectrometric Cxz+ions (x=24–100) could be detected. It is proposed that some cyclo[24]carbon is generated, but then rapidly converts to other forms of elemental carbon. No cyclotetracosane (C24H48) is detected when this sequence is carried out in the presence of PtO2and H2.

    Abstract Coordination complexes of general formulatrans‐[MX2(R2ECH2CH2ER2)2] (MII=Ti, V, Cr, Mn; E=N or P; R=alkyl or aryl) are a cornerstone of coordination and organometallic chemistry. We investigate the electronic properties of two such complexes,trans‐[VCl2(tmeda)2] andtrans‐[VCl2(dmpe)2], which thus representtrans‐[MX2(R2ECH2CH2ER2)2] where M=V, X=Cl, R=Me and E=N (tmeda) and P (dmpe). These VIIcomplexes haveS=3/2 ground states, as expected for octahedral d3. Their tetragonal distortion leads to zero‐field splitting (zfs) that is modest in magnitude (D≈0.3 cm−1) relative to analogousS=1 TiIIand CrIIcomplexes. This parameter was determined from conventional EPR spectroscopy, but more effectively from high‐frequency and ‐field EPR (HFEPR) that determined the sign ofDas negative for the diamine complex, but positive for the diphosphine, which information had not been known for anytrans‐[VX2(R2ECH2CH2ER2)2] systems. The ligand‐field parameters oftrans‐[VCl2(tmeda)2] andtrans‐[VCl2(dmpe)2] are obtained using both classical theory andab initioquantum chemical theory. The results shed light not only on the electronic structure of VIIin this environment, but also on differences between N and P donor ligands, a key comparison in coordination chemistry.

    Abstract Antiferromagnetic van der Waals‐typeM2P2X6compounds provide a versatile material platform for studying 2D magnetism and relevant phenomena. Establishing ferromagnetism in 2D materials is technologically valuable. Though magnetism is generally tunable via a chemical way, it is challenging to induce ferromagnetism with isovalent chalcogen and bimetallic substitutions inM2P2X6. Here, we report co‐substitution of Cu1+and Cr3+for Ni2+in Ni2P2S6, creating CuxNi2(1‐x)CrxP2S6medium‐entropy alloys spanning a full substitution range (x= 0 to 1). Such substitution strategy leads to a unique evolution in crystal structure and magnetic phases that are distinct from traditional isovalent bimetallic doping, with Cu and Cr co‐substitution enhancing ferromagnetic correlations and generating a weak ferromagnetic phase in intermediate compositions. This aliovalent substitution strategy offers a universal approach for tuning layered magnetism in antiferromagnetic systems, which along with the potential for light‐matter interaction and high‐temperature ferroelectricity, can enable multifunctional device applications.

    Electrical resistivity measurements were performed on single crystals of URu2–xOsxSi2up tox= 0.28 under hydrostatic pressure up toP= 2 GPa. As the Os concentration,x, is increased, 1) the lattice expands, creating an effective negative chemical pressurePch(x); 2) the hidden-order (HO) phase is enhanced and the system is driven toward a large-moment antiferromagnetic (LMAFM) phase; and 3) less external pressurePcis required to induce the HO→LMAFM phase transition. We compare the behavior of theT(x,P) phase boundary reported here for the URu2-xOsxSi2system with previous reports of enhanced HO in URu2Si2upon tuning withPor similarly in URu2–xFexSi2upon tuning with positivePch(x). It is noteworthy that pressure, Fe substitution, and Os substitution are the only known perturbations that enhance the HO phase and induce the first-order transition to the LMAFM phase in URu2Si2. We present a scenario in which the application of pressure or the isoelectronic substitution of Fe and Os ions for Ru results in an increase in the hybridization of the U-5f-electron and transition metald-electron states which leads to electronic instability in the paramagnetic phase and the concurrent formation of HO (and LMAFM) in URu2Si2. Calculations in the tight-binding approximation are included to determine the strength of hybridization between the U-5f-electron states and thed-electron states of Ru and its isoelectronic Fe and Os substituents in URu2Si2.
