Synthesis of nanoporous cubic In(CN)(3) and In1-xGax(CN)(3) and corresponding inclusion compounds
Anhydrous In(CN)(3) and In1-xGax(CN)(3) phases with empty Prussian-blue-type structures have been prepared via low-temperature solution methods utilizing molecular templating agents. Quantitative X-ray powder diffraction was used to refine the In(CN)3 cubic structure in which In is octahedrally surrounded by an average of three C and three N atoms. The symmetry is Pm (3) over bar m, a = 5.627(1) Angstrom, and the In-(C,N) and C-N bond lengths are 2.251(1) and 1.125(1) Angstrom, respectively. The compound reversibly incorporates krypton atoms into the empty cavities to form In(CN)3 Kr, which is readily identified by powder diffraction. Similar inclusion systems with ra-hexane in the porous framework are also synthesized. In1-xGax(CN)(3) solid solutions are formed by suitable combinations of the binary systems and have lattice constants adjustable between 5.293 Angstrom for Ga(CN)(3) and 5.627(1) Angstrom for In(CN)(3). The variation of the lattice parameters with composition obeys Vegard's Law.
