25 Results of Reactions Designed to Produce Ternary Hydrides of Some Rarer Platinum Metals with Europium or Ytterbium RALPH O. MOYER, JR., ROBERT LINDSAY, and DAVID N. MARKS Trinity College, Hartford, CT 06106

Bimetallic ternary hydrides in which at least one of the metal constituents is an alkali or an alkaline earth element and the second a transition element are reviewed first. The results of the preparation, structure, and properties of materials formed by reactions between EuH or YbH and ruthenium or iridium are described and interpreted. Eu RuH or Yb RuH can be formed by reacting EuH or YbH with ruthenium at 800°C in a hydrogen atmosphere. These ternary hydrides are isostructural with their alkaline earth-ruthenium analogs Sr RuH and Ca RuH , with the metal atoms arranged in a fluorite-type lattice. The magnetic susceptibilities are consistent with +2 oxidation states for europium in Eu RuH and for ytterbium in Yb RuH . The electrical conductivities of Eu RuH and Yb RuH6 show a temperature dependence typical of semiconductors. Ir data for Eu RuH and Yb RuH suggest absorption bands which could be attributed to ruthenium-hydrogen stretching and bending modes. Recent work concerning the preparation of the hydride systems europium-iridium-hydrogenand ytterbium-iridium-hydrogen are discussed. 2

resently, there is considerable interest i n using hydrogen as a fuel and i n using some metal hydrides as convenient, safe, a n d economical storage devices. In v i e w of the present concern for alternative energy supplies, these notions, a l though not exactly new, are nonetheless more appealing than when first proposed. G . F . Jaubert (I ) obtained a F r e n c h patent i n 1902 for the application of metal hydrides, and particularly calcium hydride, for the production of hydrogen. F i v e years later he received a British patent describing a n apparatus m o u n t e d o n a 0-8412-0390-3/78/33-167-366/$05.00/0 © American Chemical Society Bau; Transition Metal Hydrides Advances in Chemistry; American Chemical Society: Washington, DC, 1978.

extensively as r e d u c i n g agents, w i l l not be considered. T h i s chapter commences w i t h a review of a l i m i t e d n u m b e r of ternary h y ­ dride systems that have two common features.

First, at least one of the two metal

constituents is an alkali or alkaline earth element w h i c h independently forms a b i n a r y h y d r i d e w i t h a metal hydrogen bond that is characterized as saline or ionic.

T h e second metal, for the most part, is near the end of the d-electron series

and w i t h the exception of p a l l a d i u m , is not k n o w n to f o r m b i n a r y hydrides that are stable at room temperature.

This review stems from our o w n more specific

interest i n preparing and characterizing ternary hydrides where one of the metals is europium or ytterbium and the other is a rarer platinum metal. T h e similarity between the crystal chemistry of these di-valent rare earths and C a

O n e of the most interesting accounts i n ternary hydride chemistry surrounds K R e H , potassium nonahydridorhenate(VII), f o r m e d b y the reduction of po­ tassium perrhenate w i t h potassium or l i t h i u m . P r i o r to 1960 the product was believed to be potassium rhenide. Floss a n d Grosse i n 1960 (13) suggested that the product of the reduction of perrhenate w i t h potassium i n aqueous e t h y l e n e d i a m i n e was a complex ternary h y d r i d e of r h e n i u m w i t h the f o r m u l a K ( R e H ) - 2 - 4 H 0 . A t about the same time, G i n s b e r g a n d co-workers (14) i n ­ dependently announced i n a note that the product prepared i n a fashion similar to that reported b y Floss and Grosse was a h y d r i d e w i t h r h e n i u m i n a positive oxidation state. L a t e r G i n s b e r g et a l . (15) assigned the f o r m u l a K R e H to po­ tassium r h e n i u m h y d r i d e . It was not u n t i l 1964 that the structure of potassium r h e n i u m h y d r i d e was resolved unequivocally by neutron diffraction analysis and the composition was shown to be K R e H (16). O n the basis of single crystal x-ray diffraction, K R e H was hexagonal w i t h unit cell dimensions of α = 9.607 Λ and c = 5.508 A a n d three f o r m u l a weights per unit c e l l (17). T h e probable space g r o u p was D - P 6 2 m . T h e neutron diffraction studies supported a nine-coor­ dinate r h e n i u m atom w i t h six of the nine hydrogens at the corners of a trigonal prism, w i t h r h e n i u m at its center and the r e m a i n i n g three hydrogens beyond the centers of the rectangular faces (16). T h e hydrogen elemental analysis b y a t h e r m a l decomposition technique supported a H : R e = 8.7 a n d by a combustion technique, a H : R e = 8.9 (16). T h e magnetic susceptibility for potassium rhenium h y d r i d e (18) was found to be temperature independent f r o m 80° to 295°K, w i t h a x of -64 ± 10 X 1 0 - cgs/mol, uncorrected for the core diamagnetism. After these corrections were a p p l i e d , a small positive value was calculated, i.e., x = +25 X 1 0 - c g s / m o l , entirely consistent w i t h r h e n i u m i n the +7 oxidation state. T h e ir spectrum of K R e H showed two intense bands, one i n the metal-hydrogen stretching region at 1846 c m and the second at 735 c m i n the metal-hydrogen b e n d i n g region (15). 2

First of all, the structural similarities between E u H , Y b H , and C a H , S r H , and B a H (all orthorhombic) and between L i E u H a n d L i S r H (both perovskite) suggested that the rare earth metals m i g h t substitute at alkaline-earth metal sites. Secondly, the distinctive magnetic character of the two rare earth metals, e u r o p i u m and ytterbium, w i t h well-defined atomic moments arising f r o m relatively w e l l shielded 4 / electrons seemed to offer a w a y to study valence states f r o m data obtained b y magnetic susceptibility measurements. I n particular, the tendencies of these rare earth metals to f o r m both di-valent a n d tri-valent compounds raised the question as to how hydrogénation w o u l d affect these preferences.

background, experimental techniques, and interpretation of results obtained on investigations c a r r i e d out so far i n the laboratory of the senior author of this chapter. T h e r e has been some previous work both on b i n a r y hydrides of e u r o p i u m a n d y t t e r b i u m a n d on b i n a r y alloys of e u r o p i u m and y t t e r b i u m w i t h p l a t i n u m group metals, w h i c h should be mentioned as a prelude to any consideration of the e u r o p i u m or ytterbium ternary hydride systems. T h e hydrides of e u r o p i u m a n d y t t e r b i u m are distinctive i n comparison w i t h the other lanthanide-series hydrides i n that it has not been possible to prepare any hydrides higher than the d i h y d r i d e at 1 a t m H (25). F u r t h e r m o r e , the E u H a n d Y b H have the orthor h o m b i c structure like the alkaline earth dihydrides, i n contrast to the cubic fluorite structure that is favored by the other lanthanide dihydrides. E u H is ferromagnetic w i t h a C u r i e temperature of about 25°K; above this temperature, its susceptibility can be fitted to a W e i s s - C u r i e law which yields an effective Bohr magneton n u m b e r quite close to that expected for E u (26). Y b H has been reported as being weakly paramagnetic w i t h an order of magnitude w h i c h is felt to reflect the theoretically zero-atomic moment for Yb " " (27). There is evidence of a n increase i n magnetic susceptibility for Y b H (28). T h e electrical resistivity of Y b H (29) has been shown to be of the order of m a g n i t u d e of 1 0 o h m c m , w h i c h is some 12 orders of magnitude greater than pure y t t e r b i u m metal (30). There are no values reported for the electrical resistivity of E u H , although it is presumably an insulator (26). 2

T h e question as to the electronic configuration of the hydrogen i n E u H and Y b H is still open. T h e magnetic studies by W a l l a c e et al. (26, 27) and the conductivity studies on Y b H by H e c k m a n and H i l l s (29) have been interpreted as f a v o r i n g an anionic or H ~ m o d e l for the hydrogen. Môssbauer studies by M u s t a c h i on both of these hydrides also y i e l d e d results that support the anionic m o d e l (31 ). H o w e v e r , there is a p r o b l e m w i t h the inference w h e n t r y i n g to explain the relatively h i g h C u r i e temperature (25°K) i n E u H . A c c o r d i n g to theories of cooperative magnetic behavior, the exchange effects necessary to p r o d u c e ferromagnetism require the conduction electrons of the metals; any r e m o v a l of these electrons i n h y d r i d e formation might be expected to suppress the ferromagnetism. Explaining the ferromagnetism while retaining the anionic model requires the more speculative arguments of either direct exchange between europium ions or an indirect routing of exchange via the H ~ ions (26,31 ). There are other lanthanides where the experimental evidence appears to favor a protonic m o d e l . Schreiber a n d Cotts (32) a n d K o p p a n d Schreiber (33) concluded f r o m N M R data on l a n t h a n u m - h y d r o g e n and c e r i u m - h y d r o g e n that these systems were described better by the protonic model. 2

T h e ferromagnetism was attributed to the

exchange interaction between conduction electrons and the spin of the 4/-shell electrons.

E u l r was reported as h a v i n g a large (77° K ) C u r i e temperature and 2

an extremely small saturation moment.

However, later work suggested that the

ferromagnetism m a y have been caused by the presence of E u O as an i m p u r i t y (36).

T h e usual synthesis route first was to prepare europium or ytterbium hydride b y heating the metals i n approximately 1 a t m H at 500° C . T e r n a r y hydrides were then prepared b y heating a compressed pellet containing a homogenous m i x t u r e of powders of e u r o p i u m or y t t e r b i u m h y d r i d e a n d the rarer p l a t i n u m metal at 800° C for approximately 18 hr and i n approximately 1 a t m H . Metals were h a n d l e d i n a glove bag i n a protective atmosphere of argon; the hydrides were handled i n a nitrogen atmosphere. T h e E u l r alloy was prepared by direct c o m b i n a t i o n of the metals. E u r o ­ p i u m chips, Vs i n . on edge were placed i n a U in.-diameter cavity of a die. I r i d i u m metal powder, —325 mesh a n d 99.9% pure, was s p r i n k l e d over the rare earth element, a n d the m i x t u r e was compressed at 5000 psi. T h e compressed pellet was placed i n a m o l y b d e n u m boat, w h i c h then was transferred to a quartz sleeve, followed b y insertion into a quartz reaction tube. T h e tube was attached to a glass vacuum line and evacuated. Argon was added to approximately 1 atm; a n d the compressed pellet was heated to 900° C and held at the temperature for 14 hr. T h e product was air quenched to room temperature. T h e product was crushed i n an agate ball m i l l , compressed into a pellet again, and reheated i n the same manner as before.

P r e l i m i n a r y interpretation of the i r spectra for E u R u H g and Y b R u H e suggested that there were absorptions that c o u l d be assigned to the r u t h e n i u m hydrogen stretching and bending vibrations. T h e results of the ir data are found in Table V I . 2

C h a t t a n d H a y ter (39) reported the results of ir spectra of several six-coordinate hydrido complexes of ruthenium i n the +2 oxidation state. They reported that h y d r i d o complexes that have one hydrogen show a band between 1750 and 1980 c m attributable to ruthenium-hydrogen stretch. A shift i n the stretching frequency of m o r e than 350 c m lower resulted w h e n a second hydrogen was placed i n the position trans to the first.

Results of the x-ray diffraction patterns showed fee structure with a = 7.570 A , but there was strong evidence from the patterns that the actual composition should more properly be described as a Laves phase deficient i n i r i d i u m , close to E u l r i 5. F u r t h e r m o r e , a finely d i v i d e d powder sample of the E u l r alloy i n a hydrogen atmosphere was heated slowly to 500° C over a period of 30 hr, held at 500° C for approximately 18 hr, and cooled to a p ­ proximately 100° C over a period of 8 hr. N o hydrogen absorption, as noted by m a n o m e t r i c measurements, was observed. It has been observed recently that w h e n E u H was c o m b i n e d w i t h i r i d i u m i n a 2:1 molar ratio and heated to 6 5 0 ° - 7 0 0 ° C i n approximately 1 a t m H , a new ternary h y d r i d e was f o r m e d a c c o m p a n i e d by an absorption of hydrogen. T h e new ternary h y d r i d e phase was indexed fee and predicted to be isostructural w i t h S r I r H s . T h e upper limit of the reaction temperature is critical. T h e i r i d i u m - d e f i c i e n t Laves phase m e n t i o n e d above w i l l f o r m , accompanied by the evolution of hydrogen, should the reaction temperature approach 800° C . 2

two materials. Over the temperature range from 7 7 ° to 2 9 5 ° K , the molar susceptibilities x of both materials appeared to be paramagnetic, with little difference between them. However, the magnitudes were such that the presence of even a few percent of E u O would be sufficient to render any quantitative in­ terpretation of these data subject to considerable uncertainty, a point which has been made previously by Bozorth et al. (35,36) in discussing their results on Eulr . The resistivity measurements indicated that both preparations were metallic conductors of the same order of magnitude. M
