Chapter 7. The Crystalline Solid State What is the crystalline solid state?: - unitcell, crystal system, - Bravais lattice, lattice centering Close-packing: - hexagonal close packing - Cubic close packing Simple structure: - Metals - diamond Superconductor, silicates -low/high-temp. superconductor - zeolites MO vs. band structure: - Diodes, QD Binary compound: - NaCl vs. CsCl - Zinc blend vs. wurtzite

Chapter 7. The Crystalline Solid State Two major classifications of solid materials 1) crystals 2) amorphous 7.1 Formulas and structures Crystalline solids: contain atoms, ions, molecules packed in regular geometric arrays unit cell 7.1.1 Simple structures unit cell: structural components resulting in a macroscopic crystal when repeated in all directions Bravais lattice: 14 possible crystal str. (Fig.7.1)

7.1.1 Simple structures Fig.7.1 Seven crystal classes and Fourteen Bravais Lattice.

7.1.1 Simple structures Atoms are shared w/ other unit cells when they are on corners, edges and faces. 1) @ corners: shared by 8 unit cells contribute 1/8 to each for a single unit cell 8 X 1/8 = 1 2) @ edges: shared by 4 unit cells 1/4 contribution to each 3) @ faces: shared by 2 unit cells 1/2 contribution to each Example 7.1) @ corners = 8 X 1/8 =1 @ faces = 6 X 1/2 = 3

7.1.1 Simple structures positions of atoms: described in lattice points : expressed as fractions of the unit cell dimensions ex) body-centered cubic origin: x = 0, y = 0, z = 0 (0, 0, 0) center: x = 1/2, y = 1/2, z = 1/2 (1/2, 1/2, 1/2) other can be generated by moving three directions in increments of one unit cell length. CUBIC: primitive cubic simple cube - 8 atoms at the corners - description: one length, one angle (90º), on lattice point (0, 0, 0) - total # atom in a unit cell: 8 X 1/8 = 1 - coordination number (CN) = 6 (surrounded by 6 atoms) - No efficient packing occupation of only 52.6 % of volume - 0.73 r

7.1.1 Simple structures BODY-CENTERD CUBIC (bcc): primitive cubic + sphere at the center - if the r(central sphere) = r(others) diagonal distance = 4r then, new unit cell 2.31r two atoms in the unit cell 2 lattice points unit cell expands (0, 0, 0), (1/2, 1/2, 1/2) CLOSE-PACKED STRUCTURES: close-packed layers each sphere is surrounded by six others in the same plane most efficient packing possible 1) hexagonal close packing (hcp): ABA structure 3 rd layers is on directly above those of the 1 st layer 2) cubic close packing (ccp) : ABC structure 3 rd layer is above the hole in the 1 st layer face-centerd cubic (fcc) - coordination # (CN) = 12

7.1.1 Simple structures Fig.7.2 Close-packed structures (2 X) tetrahedral holes/atom (CN = 4) (1 X) octahedral holes/atom (CN = 6)

7.1.1 Simple structures Fig.7.3 Hexagonal close packing - Hexagonal prism w/ the unit cell outlined in bold - 2 atoms in the unit cell - 2r X 2r X 2.83r, 120º - lattice points: (0, 0, 0), (1/3, 2/3, 1/2)

7.1.1 Simple structures Fig.7.4 Cubic close packing - 4 layers to complete the cube - 1 st layer: 1 atom 2 nd layer: 6 atoms 3 rd layer: 6 atoms (60º vertical rotation) 4 th layer: 1-4 atoms in the unit cell (8 X 1/8) + (6/2) = 4 - Lattice point: (0,0,0), (1/2, 1/2, 0), (1/2, 0, 1/2), (0, 1/2,1/2) - 74% occ. of the total volume

7.1.1 Simple structures Fig.7.5 Tetrahedral and octahedral holes in close-packed layers - tetrahedral hole X 2 /atom octahedral holes X 1 /atom can be filled by smaller ions: 0.225r tetrahedral hole 0.414r octahedral hole

7.1.1 Simple structures metallic crystals: most metals crystallized in body-centered cubic cubic close-packed hexagonal close-packed str. : str. can be changed by pressure or temperature size & packing of atoms are variable balance b/w attraction & repulsion simple geometric calculations are not sufficient properties of metals: 1) conductivity (heat & electricity) (= 1/resistance) - metal - nonmetal - * diamond: electrical conductivity heat conductivity

7.1.1 Simple structures properties of metals metallic crystals: 2) soft metal: malleable (Cu, fcc str.) hard metal: brittle (Zn, hcp str.) : most metals are shapable by hammering & bending bonding is non-directional : dislocation atoms can be slide into new str. realigned impurity atom w/ a size difference discontinuation in crystal less uniform allow gradual slippage rather than movement of entire layer hammering defect tend to group together resisting deformation

7.1.1 Simple structures diamond (Fig.7.6): same as Zinc Blend str. w/ all atoms identical : fcc divided into 8 smaller cubes add atoms in the centers of 4 of the smaller cubes (none of them are adjacent) diamond str. : tetrahedral coordi. (covalent bond) : Si, Ge, α-sn Fig.7.6

7.1.2 Structure of Binary Compounds Fig.7.7: two simple examples of binary compds. Fig.7.7 larger ions (usually anions) close-packed str. smaller ions w/ the opposite change occupy the holes (tetrahedral-hole, octahedral-hole) two factors: 1) the relative sizes radius ratio (r + /r - ) small cation tetra-holes or octa-holes larger cations only octa-holes 2) the relative # of cation and anion ex) M 2 X: too many cation no close-packing of anion

7.1.2 Structure of Binary Compounds Common structure type (named after the most common compound w/ the str.) NaCl: (Fig.7.7(a)): two face-centered cubes of Na & Cl interpenetrating each other offset by 1/2 unit cell length : many alkalihalides : quite diff. sizes of ions (r(cation) < r(anion)) : 1 st nearest-neighbor per each ion (X 6) Fig.7.7 CsCl (Fig.7.7(b)): Cl - - simple cubes : Cs in the center of cubes (vice versa) : 0.73r will fit exactly in the center : intermediate distance (d(cs-cl) = 356 pm < (r(cs) = 167 pm + r(cl) = 202 pm) 3.5 % smaller : CsCl, CsBr, CsI, TlCl, TlBr, TlI, CsSH @ ordinary conditions

7.1.2 Structure of Binary Compounds Zinc blend (Fig.7.8(a)): one of two common crystal form of ZnS : diamond str.-type (CN = 4) : face-centered lattice of S + 1/2 occupied T d hole by Zn same result,, if Zn & S reversed Wurtzite (Fig.7.8(b),(c)): formed at higher temperature : hexagonal close-packed lattice + 1/2 occupied T d hole by other same result,, if Zn & S reversed Fig.7.8

7.1.2 Structure of Binary Compounds Fluorite, CaF 2 (Fig.7.9): 1) Ca + cubic close-pack lattice F - occupy all tetra-holes 2) alternative description (Fig.7.9(b)) : F - simple cube array Ca + alternative body centers - antifluorite: cation-anion stoichiometry is reversed e.g.) Li 2 Te, Be 2 C : unlike ZnS,, all tetrahedral sites are occupied by cations Fig.7.9

7.1.4 Radius Ratio radius ratio: r + /r - simple, but best approximation to predict coordination # treat the ions as if they were hard spheres possible crystal str. Example 7.3) NaCl and ZnS

7.1.4 Radius Ratio All ratio predictions should be used w/ caution!! they are not hard spheres incorrect ratio predictions when r (cation) > r (anion) radius ratio r - /r + ex) CsF: r - /r + = 119/181 = 0.657 (CN = 6) when nearly equal size cubic of anions center of cation other stoichiometry than 1:1 e.g.) CaF 2, Na 2 S cation & anion have diff, CN or only fraction of possible sites are occupied

7.2 Thermodynamics of Ionic Crystal Formation Born-Harber cycle: consider the series of components reactions that can be imagined as the individual steps in compds. formation ex) LiF Li(s) Li(g) 1/2 F 2 (g) F(g) Li(g) Li + (g) + e - F(g) + e - F - (g) Li + (g) + F - (g) LiF(g) Li(s) + 1/2F 2 (g) LiF(s) H sub = 161 KJ/mol Sublimation H dis = 79 KJ/mol Dissociation H ion = 531 KJ/mol Ionization E H ion = -328 KJ/mol -Electron affinity H xtal = -1239 KJ/mol Lattice Enthalpy H form = -796 KJ/mol Formation historically: used to determine electron affinities currently: used to determine more accurate lattice enthalpies

7.2.1 Lattice Energy and Madelung Constant lattice E of a crystal: the sum of electronic E b/w each pair, U = Z i Z j /r 0 (e 2 /4πε 0 ) Z i, Z j = ionic charges in electron units r 0 = distance b/w ion centers e = e - charge = 1.602 X 10-19 C 4πε 0 = permittivity of a vacuum = 1.11 X 10-10 C 2 /Jm e 2 /4πε 0 = 2.307 X 10-28 Jm However, this doesn t include long-range interactions!! e.g.) in NaCl for Na 1 st nn: 6 Cl (1/2a) 2 nd nn: 12 Na (0.707a) Madelung constant: sum of all these geometric factors U = NMZ + Z - /r 0 (e 2 /4πε 0 ) N = Avogadro s # M = Madelung const.

7.2.1 Lattice Energy and Madelung Constant Born-Mayer equation: corrects repulsion b/w neighbors U = NMZ + Z - /r 0 (e 2 /4πε 0 )(1-ρ/r 0 ) * ρ = 30 pm, for simple compd. lattice enthalpy: H xtal = U + (PV) = U + nrt * n = the change in # of gas-phase particles on formation of the crystal ex) AB -2 AB 2-3 nrt = -4.95 KJ/mol for AB = -7.43 KJ/mol for AB 2 Small!! H xtal U for approximate calculations!!

7.2.2 Solubility, Ion Size & HSAB thermodynamic calculations for the effect of solvation & solubility ex) AgCl(s) + H 2 O Ag + (aq) + Cl - (aq) AgCl(g) Ag + (g) + Cl - (g) Ag + (g) + H 2 O Ag + (aq) Cl - (g) + H 2 O Cl - (aq) AgCl(s) + H 2 O Ag + (aq) + Cl - (aq) H = 917 KJ/mol -Lattice enthalpy H = -475 KJ/mol Solvation H = -369 KJ/mol Solvation H = -73 KJ/mol Dissociation if only three are known fourth can be calculated!! factors influencing the thermodynamics of solubility ionic size & charge,, HSAB,, crystal str.,, electronic str. small ions: strong electrostatic force attraction for each other for water larger ions: weaker attraction for each other for water can accumulate more water molecules

7.2.2 Solubility, Ion Size & HSAB factors influencing the thermodynamics of solubility soft-soft hard-hard less soluble than soft-hard combination ex) LiF, CsI LiI, CsF less soluble more soluble smaller ions: larger lattice E overcomes larger hydration enthalpies larger ions: smaller hydration enthalpies allow the lattice E to dominate LiI(s) + CsF(s) CsI(s) + LiF(s); exothermic ( H = -146 KJ/mol)
