The Sandwich Compound, One of the "Star Molecules" of 2023 by C&EN

The Sandwich Compound🥪 features a structure resembling a sandwich: a single central metal atom sandwiched between two parallel flat aromatic organic rings. Ferrocene, the earliest and most significant sandwich compound, marks the origin of modern organometallic chemistry.

In August 2023, Professor Peter W. Roesky's research group at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) in Germany published groundbreaking research in Nature. They successfully sandwiched metals such as strontium (Sr), samarium (Sm), and europium (Eu) between cyclopentadienyl layers, forming an isomorphous series of circular sandwich compounds termed 'cyclocenes'.

These cyclocenes, comprising 18 repeating units, form nearly perfect closed rings in the solid state, paving the way for the development of novel functional organometallic materials (Nature 2023, DOI: 10.1038/s41586-023-06192-4). The cyclocene compounds were also recognized as one of the "star molecules" of 2023 by C&EN. #chemistry #science

Which Element of the Periodic Table is the most Fuckable Part 7

This is Part 7 of this Poll Series

Once a winner is declared from every part we can move onto the next round till we find the most fuckable element

Keeping this in drafts till I make all 12 parts then I'll post them all together

All parts will be under the tag elemental sex appeal poll

Periodic Table Championship: Round 1, Day 4, Xenon vs. Samarium

The second match of day 4 has element 54, xenon, competing against element 62, samarium.

Xenon is a dense, colorless gas belonging to the group of noble gases on the periodic table and existing in the Earth's atmosphere only in trace amounts. While extremely nonreactive, alongside the other noble gases, xenon was the first of this group to be synthesized in a compound, xenon hexafluoroplatinate. It is known for its applications in lighting, lasers, and as a general anesthetic. Its name comes from the Greek for foreigner, stranger, or guest.

Samarium is a hard, silvery, rare earth metal and lanthanide that crystalizes in the rhombehedral system at room temperature. It has one of the largest atomic radii of any element (only five elements are larger), and its known for its magnetic properties. Samarium-cobalt magnets aren't as well known as neodymium magnets, but can withstand higher temperatures and can be used in specialized applications. The name comes from the mineral samarskite, which was itself named for Vassili Samarsky-Bykhovets, making samarium the first element to be named after a person, albeit indirectly.

Arc SmCo magnet

SMCO-Grade24H-R11.3×R10.3×45°×38

Arc SmCo magnet is a high-performance, high-temperature resistant rare earth permanent magnet material, mainly made of samarium (Sm) and cobalt (Co) alloy. Due to its excellent magnetic properties and excellent temperature stability, it is widely used in fields that require high magnetic force and harsh working conditions, such as aerospace, military equipment, automotive industry and high-precision sensors.

This magnet has the following advantages:

High magnetic energy product: The arc SmCo magnet has a high magnetic energy product and can provide strong magnetic force in a small volume.

Excellent temperature stability: It can still maintain stable magnetism in high temperature environment, and the working temperature can reach above 300℃, which is suitable for extreme conditions.

Strong corrosion resistance: Due to the characteristics of the material, it has excellent corrosion resistance and is not easy to oxidize, reducing the need for coating or other protective measures.

Rare Earth Mining by GMDC

What is Rare Earth?

Rare Earth refers to a group of 17 naturally occurring metallic elements with unique properties and a wide range of industrial applications. These elements are essential for the global transition to a low-carbon economy, particularly in the production of clean energy technologies. Their critical role in the advancement of technology and sustainable development underscores the importance of securing a stable supply of these elements. REEs are divided into two categories:

Light Rare Earth Elements include elements like lanthanum (La), cerium (Ce), praseodymium (Pr), neodymium (Nd) and samarium (Sm). These elements are abundant and generally have a low atomic weight. 

Heavy Rare Earth Elements include elements such terbium (Tb), dysprosium (Dy) and yttrium (Y). They are less abundant and have a higher atomic weight. 

GMDC’s Portfolio includes High Purity Light Rare Earth Oxides 

Neodymium (Nd) and Praseodymium (Pr) are essential for making the strongest permanent magnets which are critical for motors in EVs and wind turbines. 

Lanthanum (La) is primarily used in the catalytic cracking process in the petroleum industry, as well as in  the electronics, optics industries and batteries for hybrid cars. 

Cerium (Ce) is used in catalytic converters in the automotive industry, as polishing powder for glass products and in electrical components. 

Developing India’s Sustainable Permanent Magnet Supply Chain 

We aim to develop an end-to-end REE value chain from rare earth mining, processing, separation and end-product manufacturing. We are establishing one of the world's top rare earth processing hubs in India. The hub will integrate the entire REE value chain and support downstream activities across industries such as metals or alloys, NdFeB magnets, electric motors, glass and optical glass manufacturing in India. 

Mining and Beautification in Ambadungar 

GMDC is developing one of the world’s largest rare earth deposits at Ambadungar, a village in Chhota Udepur district of Gujarat. The project includes an open pit mine, processing plants, tailings storage facility, water supply, bulk power supply, mine infrastructure, workshops, offices, modern residential facilities with a best-in-class living ecosystem. 

Our Ambadungar deposits contain light earth elements (LREEs), which are critical minerals for most economies globally. The ore will be mined from an open-pit mine and transferred for processing through crushing, milling, conditioning and floatation to form a mixed rare earth concentrate. 

Separation and Integrated Downstream Manufacturing at Bharuch 

The mixed rare earth carbonate produced in Ambadungar will be transferred to our separation plant in our REE hub at Bharuch. The end-result from this separation process will be the valuable rare earth oxides - Nd, Pr, La, Ce. 

These separated oxides will be converted into metals and further used in manufacturing products such as catalysts for catalytic cracking as well as rare earth magnets - which are essential for the global transition to clean energy and mobility. GMDC provides critical minerals from rare earth mining.
