Oxygen chelates such as those of edta and polyphosphates are of importance in analytical chemistry and in removing Ca ions from hard water. There is no unique. sequence of stabilities since these depend sensitively on a variety of factors where geometrical considerations are not important the smaller ions tend to form the stronger complexes but in polydentate macrocycles steric factors can be crucial. Thus dicyclohexyl-18-crown-6 (p. 96) forms much stronger complexes with Sr and Ba than with Ca (or the alkali metals) as shown in Fig. 5.6. Structural data are also available and an example of a solvated 8-coordinate Ca complex [(benzo-l5-crown-5)-Ca(NCS)2-MeOH] is shown in Fig. 5.7. The coordination polyhedron is not regular Ca lies above the mean plane of the 5 ether oxygens... 

Recently Suglobova et al. (3, 4, 5) reported structural data, phase diagrams, and enthalpies of reaction of several complex fluorides of uranium(V) with alkali metals. Their observations indicate that the enthalpy of stabilization represented by the equation... 

The study of solvated alkali metal allyl species remains a complex topic due to a variety of reorganization processes. Structural data on alkali metal allyl derivatives include [G3H5Li(TMEDA)] 133,139 where solvated lithium ions act as... 

Table 6.2. Thermodynamic data for complexation of alkali metal ions by cryptands in water (Lehn Sauvage, 1975 Kauffmann, Lehn Sauvage, 1976).

In general, the cryptands (213) show a stronger correlation between thermodynamic stability and match of the metal ion for the cavity. Thermodynamic data for complexation of the alkali metal ions with a number of cryptands is summarized in Table 6.2. The data for the smaller (less flexible) cryptands 2.1.1, 2.2.1, and 2.2.2 illustrate well the occurrence of peak selectivity. 

In the presence of strong alkali, the rhodium analog of 62, or RhCl(C8H,2)PPh3, hydrogenates aliphatic ketones at 1 atm and 20°C, and after treatment with borohydride the systems similarly reduce aromatic ketones to the alcohols (526). Deuterium exchange data for acetone reduction were interpreted in terms of hydrogen transfer within a mononuclear hydroxy complex containing substrate bound in the enol form (63). 

Compared to the wealth of data concerning the solid- and solution-state structures of lithium (di)organophosphides, reports of heavier alkali metal analogues are sparse. Indeed, the first crystallographic study of a homometallic heavier alkali metal (di)organophosphide complex was reported only in 1990 (67) and the majority of such complexes have been reported in the past 3 years. Interest in these complexes stems mainly from their enhanced reactivity in comparison to equivalent lithium complexes, which is particularly useful for the synthesis of alkaline earth, lanthanide, and actinide organophosphide complexes.

Amy Berger helped me write Chapter 10 (Surface Complexation), and Chapter 31 (Acid Drainage) is derived in part from her work. Edward Warren and Richard Worden of British Petroleum s Sunbury lab contributed data for calculating scaling in North Sea oil fields, Richard Wendlandt first modeled the effects of alkali floods on clastic reservoirs, and Kenneth Sorbie helped write Chapter 30 (Petroleum Reservoirs). I borrowed from Elisabeth Rowan s study of the genesis of fluorite ores at the Albigeois district, Wendy Harrison s study of the Gippsland basin, and a number of other published studies, as referenced in the text.

The 2-(AuC1)4 and 2-(PtCl2SMe2)4 complexes (see above), show extractability properties vs. alkali metal ions, with a greater affinity for than for other alkali metal ions [48]. No structural data were available and the nature of the binding in the formation of these complexes was not investigated. Similarly, the anionic complexes [2-Cu4(/t-Cl)4(/t3-Cl)] and [2-Ag4(/t-Cl)4(/t4-Cl)] have been shown to act as host for the selective binding of alkali metal cations and divalent metal ions like or Pb. Both complexes...
