Metallic crystal, magnetic susceptibility

The electrides. Following many experimental difficulties, Dye and coworkers were able to demonstrate that reaction of 18-crown-6 with caesium in a 1 2 ratio (under specified conditions) leads to isolation of shiny, black crystals of a product of composition Cs+(18-crown-6)2 (El-laboudy, Dye Smith, 1983 Dye Ellaboudy, 1984). The solid-state 133Cs nmr spectrum, the esr spectrum, and the magnetic susceptibility of this product all indicated that it was of type Cs+(l8-crown-6).e" that is, a crystalline electride in which the anion is a single electron. In overall terms, this exotic class of compound may be considered to lie on the border between metals and non-metals.

The crystal structure of cadmium rhenium(V) oxide, as determined by single-crystal technique,1 is of the face-centered cubic pyrochlore type (a = 10.219 A.). The only positional parameter for the 48 (/) oxygens is x = 0.309 0.007 when rhenium is at the origin. The density, determined pycnometrically, is 8.82 0.03 g./cc., compared with the theoretical value of 8.83 g./cc. for Z = 8. The resistivity between 4.2 K and room temperature is very low (10-3-10-4 J2-cm.) and has a positive temperature coefficient. Over the same temperature range the magnetic susceptibility is low and temperature-independent. These properties indicate that cadmium rhenium(V) oxide exhibits metallic conductivity. 

NdRu4Sbi2 is metallic and undergoes some type of magnetic transition near 1.3 K. The magnetic susceptibility follows a Curie-Weiss law above 50 K with an effective moment of 3.45/u.b and a Weiss temperature of -28 K. Crystal fields likely effect the susceptibility and magnetic interactions for temperatures below 50 K. Low temperature heat capacity data confirm the bulk nature of the magnetic transition (Takeda and Ishikawa, 2000b).
