Abstract

Single crystalline nitride-floride analogs of the binary oxide CaO, and possibly BaO, were prepared for the first time. The proposed compositions were derived by replacing two O2- ions of the oxide formula with NF4-. After repeated trials, a successful technique for preparing these highly air-sensitive materials for X-ray analysis was developed. Ca2NF was subsequently characterized successfully via single crystal x-ray diffraction, and was found to be isostructural with L-Mg2NF, rather than CaO, as previously predicted. In other work, crystal structures of three organic compunds were determined via single crystal x-ray diffraction in a collaborative effort with a researcher at the Department of Chemistry, Union College, Shenectady, NY.
