Supporting Information Placeholder ABSTRACT: While cation order-disorder transitions have been achieved in a wide range of materials and provide crucial effects in various physical and chemical properties, anion analogues are scarce. Here we have expanded the number of known lanthanide oxyhydrides LnHO (Ln = La, Ce, Pr, Nd) to include Ln = Sm, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho and Er, which has allowed the observation of an anion order-disorder transition from the anion-ordered fluorite structure (4/) for larger Ln3+ ions (La – Nd) to a disordered arrangement (3) for smaller Ln3+ (Sm – Er). Structural analysis reveals that with the increase of Ln3+ radius (application of negative chemical pressure), the oxide anion in the disordered phase becomes too under-bonded, which drives a change to an anion-ordered structure, with smaller OLn4 and larger HLn4 tetrahedra, demonstrating that the size flexibility of hydride anions drives this transition. Such anion ordering control is crucial regarding applications that involve hydride diffusion such catalysis and electrochemical solid devices.

The presence or absence of cation order in complex oxides can have a decisive impact on their chemical and physical properties.1,2 In many cases, cation order can be attained by employing combinations of cations with distinct sizes, formal charges, and electronegativity. Thus by controlling these parameters cation order or disorder can be induced (i.e., order-disorder transitions controlled), which are important not only to achieve desired or improved properties, but also to understand the origins behind observed phenomena. There are a number of such examples: the A-site disordered perovskite (Ln0.5Ba0.5)MnO3 (Ln: lanthanide) exhibits charge/orbital order at low temperatures. However, when the A-site is ordered (i.e., LnBaMn2O6 accessible via topochemical oxidation of LnBaMn2O5), the charge/orbital ordering temperature exceeds room temperature, with an enhanced magnetoresistivity.3,4 Similarly, the ionic conductivity of cation-ordered GdBaMn2O6−δ is greater by an order of magnitude relative to the disordered counterpart (Gd0.5Ba0.5)MnO3–δ.5 Other cation orderdisorder transitions can be found in the quadruple perovskite LnMn3V4O12 induced by chemical pressure (i.e., Ln-site substitution),6 Pb(Sc1/2M1/2)O3 (M = Nb, Ta) induced by heat treatment,7 LiGaO2 induced by external pressure (wurtzite to rock salt),8 and ordered LiMnO2 obtained by ion exchange with ordered NaMnO2.9 Mixed-anion compounds, with several anionic species present in a single material,10 can also form anion-ordered structures (e.g., Sr3AlO4F11 and Sr2CoO3Cl12) and anion-disordered ones (e.g., ASrNb2O6F (A = Li, Na, and Rb)13 and Na3V2(PO4)2F3–xOx14). However, unlike the cation case, examples of ‘controlling’ anion

order and disorder (i.e., inducing anion order-disorder transitions) are scarce, aside from anion vacancy order-disorder transitions,15,16 and therefore constitute an important challenge. Oxyhydrides have attracted great deal of attention in recent years.17 Novel properties observed in the oxyhydrides are associated with the unique features of the hydride anion, such as its lability leading to topochemical anion-exchange reactions18,19 and the lack of p orbitals in its valence shell leading to dimensional reduction in Srn+1VnO2n+1Hn (n = 1, 2, ∞).20 Another interesting feature of hydride lies in its size flexibility, indeed the ionic radius of H– in binary metal hydrides varies greatly from 1.27 to 1.52 Å,21 possibly reflecting the small number of electrons in the H– ion, as well as its soft and polarizable nature. Our recent study of SrVO2H at pressures up to 50 GPa explicitly shows the extraordinary compressibility of the hydride anion, with the V-H bond twice as compressible as the V-O bond.22 In this work, we demonstrate that the ‘size flexibility’ of H– can be used to induce an anion order-disorder transition in the LnHO series, where the Ln3+ cations act as chemical pressure. We also present results indicating that these oxyhydrides can serve as supports for highly active NH3 synthesis catalysts.

It is reported that LaHO,23 CeHO,24 PrHO24 and NdHO24 crystallize in an anion-ordered fluorite-type structure (4/) that contains three independent lanthanide sites, all in eightfold (H × 4, O × 4) and nearly cubic environments (Figure 1a).

Ref. 24, synthesis of LnHO with other lanthanide (Ln = Sm, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho and Er) has been carried out. Prior to the anion substitution reaction Ln2O3 was heated at 900 °C overnight to remove adsorbed water and carbonates. In a nitrogen-filled dry glove box Ln2O3 and a three-molar excess of CaH2 were thoroughly mixed together and pelletized. The pellet was placed in an evacuated quartz tube at pressures below 2 × 10–4 MPa and then heated at 650 °C for 20 h. The so-obtained powders were then washed with saturated NH4Cl/methanol remove CaH2 and CaO. Synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction (SXRD) patterns were subsequently collected at room temperature using a camera with an imaging plate as a detector on instrument I11 and a λ = 0.82538 Å wavelength at the Diamond Light Source (UK). As shown in Figure 2, SXRD patterns obtained from LnHO (Ln = Sm, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er) can be indexed on the basis of a fluorite-type structure, with diffraction peaks shifted to higher angles as the ionic radius of the Ln3+ cation decreases. No traces of rare earth oxide hydroxide were found.25 In the case of Sm additional reflections observed in the data are ascribed to overreacted lanthanide hydride (LnHx). Compounds with Ln = Ho, Dy and Sm contain two phases with identical symmetry and very close cell parameters, with differences of less than 0.002 Å, probably induced by slight anionic composition variation. The synthesis of LnHO with Ln = Eu, Tm, Yb and Lu was unsuccessful, which is ascribed for Eu to undesired reduction (EuH2 was formed), and for the other lanthanides, to a size mismatch preventing the adoption of fluorite-type structures.

Figure 2. SXRD patterns for the anion-disordered phase (3) for Ln = Sm – Er. The low-angle region focus (10 – 11°) emphasizes the absence of superstructure peak associated with the anion ordering. A simulated pattern of the anion ordered NdHO24 is also given for comparison. Based on previous structural studies regarding LnHO with Ln = La to Nd,23,24 the signature of the H–/O2– order is mainly inferred by the presence of a superstructure peak around d = 4.5 – 4.6 Å–1 (which here corresponds to 2θ = 10.5°). As depicted in the low angle enlarged region in the Figure 2, this reflection is absent for all the compounds with Ln3+ cations smaller than Pr, indicating that they adopt anion-disordered structures, analogous to LaFO, with the 3 space group (see Figure 1b).25 Accordingly, Rietveld refinements of SXRD data from the newly prepared samples were carried out assuming anion-disordered models (3) for from SmHO to ErHO, where hydride anions were neglected. All refinements successfully converged (see Supplementary Information for details). Although the presence of hydride has been directly probed only for HoHO by the means of neutron powder diffraction (Figure S1), the charge neutrality condition and oxygen occupancy factor of ~0.5 for the anion-disordered phases strongly suggest the

successful formation of LnHO for all the lanthanides. In addition, the normalized cell volume of our new samples, along with LaHO23 and NdHO,24 nicely shows a linear evolution as a function of lanthanide ionic radius,26 even across the phase boundary (Figure 3a). This not only provides a strong validation of the LnHO composition, but also means that the size of the lanthanide is responsible, more than anything else (e.g., magnetic moment or electronegativity), for the change of the (normalized) unit cell volume. The case presented here provides an ideal situation when one can elucidate the origin of the anion orderdisorder transition in LnHO in terms of the size of the Ln3+ cations, or chemical pressure. Here, chemical pressure refers to a virtual pressure induced by an isovalent substitution, a concept that is often used to describe and tune the properties of solids.27,28

Figure 3. (a) The unit cell volume evolution of LnHO as a function of the Shannon radius of the Ln3+ cation (eight coordination), where, for comparison, the normalized value is given to the anion-ordered tetrahedral phase (Ln = La – Nd).23,24 The tetrahedral cell is related to the cubic cell by √2a × √2a × c (Vtetra ≈ 2Vcubic). (b) Deviation from the ideal valence ∆AV/AV for O2–, obtained from (squares) the refined structural model and from (triangles) the ‘hypothetical’ anion-disordered phase (Ln = La – Nd). (c) Anion-centered tetrahedral volume around H–/O2– (black) for the anion-disordered phase and H– (blue) and O2– (red) for the ordered phase. Lines are guides for the eye. Bond valence sum (BVS) calculations29 have been performed from the anionic point of view for the entire LnHO series (see Figure S2). Shown in Figure 3b is the deviation of the apparent valence (AV) of oxide anions away from the ideal one (= –2), ∆AV/AV, plotted against Ln3+ radius. Values for the ‘hypothetical’ anion-disordered structure (Ln = La, Ce, Pr and Nd) are also displayed, where the normalized (cubic) lattice parameter was employed using reported tetragonal parameters (Vcubic ~ 1/2Vtetra).23,24 It is seen that ∆AV/AV for ErHO is nearly zero (BVS = 1.97), meaning that the oxide anion is in a suitable environment in the tetrahedral coordination site. With increasing Ln3+ radius the magnitude of ∆AV/AV increases linearly, indicating the oxide anion becomes less and less strongly bonded. We can therefore describe the Ln3+ ions as applying negative chemical pressure to the anion sites as the Ln-O bond length expands with

Journal of the American Chemical Society increasing Ln3+ radius. Importantly but not surprisingly, the linear evolution of ∆AV/AV extends across the ‘hypothetical’ aniondisordered structures of Nd → La (triangles in Figure 3b) with ∆AV/AV exceeding –10% at La, which may be expected to drive a change in structure to increase the oxygen coordination number and/or decrease the Ln-O bond length, as seen for example in the change in structure from Er2O3 to La2O3. However, in the case of LnHO the expansion of the Ln3+ lattice induces a transition to an anion-ordered structure in which the oxide and hydride ions are segregated into two distinct tetrahedral sites within a distorted fluoride framework. Note that the BVS analysis of hydride did not exhibit any remarkable feature (see detail in Supporting Information). Thus, it appears that the anion order for La – Nd occurs so as to let oxygen rest in a more ‘comfortable’ environment (squares in Figure 3b). This mechanism for recovering the oxygen valence in the ordered phase for La – Nd is enabled by the size flexibility of hydride anion, which is evident in Figure 3c in which the tetrahedral volume around the anions is plotted. In the anion-disordered phase, the tetrahedral volume around O2–/H– at 8c (Figure 1a, right) shows a linear evolution, but the presence of two crystallographic anion sites in the anion-ordered phase makes the tetrahedral volume split into a larger site (8i) occupied by H– and a smaller site (8i) occupied by O2– (Figure 1b, right). So far, La2O3 is known to adopt the largest OLn4 tetrahedral volume (6.96 Å3) among Ln-containing oxides.31 Interestingly, the anion-ordered LaHO (BVS = –1.92) exhibits a larger value of 7.49 Å3. An even larger value of 7.70 Å3 (leading to BVS = –1.76) is found in the “hypothetical” anion-disordered LaHO, suggesting that the underbonded nature of oxygen is a driving force of the transition. The reduced OLa4 tetrahedral volume of the anion-ordered LaHO (vs. disordered analogue) is enabled by the hydride size flexibility (i.e., swollen HLa4 volume). DFT calculations also yielded a larger OLa4 volume of 7.09 Å3 for the anion-ordered LaHO than computed volumes of 6.76 Å3 and 6.99 Å3 for A- and C-type La2O3 (see detail in Supporting Information). The present study suggests that H–/O2– order-disorder transitions can be controlled in various manners. For example, the application of external (physical) pressure to ordered LnHO (Ln = La – Nd) may drive a change to a disordered phase. Alternatively, the pressurization of disordered LnHO (Ln = Sm – Er) may drive a change to an ordered phase, where contrary to the present study, the hydride anion becomes smaller in size. Given the increasing number of oxyhydride compounds reported recently,17,30–32 we believe that the anion arrangement in oxyhydrides (and other mixed-anion compounds such as hydride-fluoride) can be tuned widely using the hydride’s size flexibility.

Figure 4. Comparison of catalytic activities of various Rubased catalysts,37 conducted at 400˚C, 5 MPa (gauge pressure), with a feed gas composition of N2:H2:Ar = 22.5:67.5:10. The discovery of a new series of oxyhydrides is also interesting in terms of catalysis. Recently, a number of novel

catalyst supports for the Haber-Bosch synthesis of NH3 have been reported, centering on hydrides and electrides. Examples of novel supports are C12A7:e–,33 LiH,34 BaTiO2.5H0.5,35 together with lanthanides such as Pr2O3.36 We have conducted preliminary NH3 activity tests at 5 MPa on some select Ru/LnHO (Ln = Sm, Gd) samples (Figure 4). Compared to other catalysts such as CsRu/MgO or Ru/BaTiO2.5H0.5,37 the activity of Ru/GdHO is extremely high (168 mmol⋅g–1⋅h–1) and warrants further investigation. Since hydride diffusion in Ru/BaTiO2.5H0.5 has been suggested to give a large impact on the catalytic activity,37 the series of oxyhydrides reported here permits a systematic study of the effects of cation/anion basicity, anion order, and hydride diffusion (possibly linked to anion order-disorder) in the context of a chemical application.
