Using the standard air / acetylene flame and hydrofluoric acid a different diatomic aluminum molecule is formed. Now, AIF becomes visible, as seen in the overview spectrum of Figure 7.11 and the enlarged clipping in Figure 7.12. In comparison to the other two A1 molecules measured in the nitrous oxide / acetylene flame, this band system is not so fine structured. It results from a Av = 0 sequence of the X A 11 electronic transition around 227.5 nm. 

The monolayer amount adsorbed on an aluminum oxide sample was determined using a small molecule adsorbate and then molecular-weight polystyrenes (much as shown in Ref. 169). The results are shown in the table. Calculate the fractal dimension of the oxide. 

Butyne trimerizes in the presence of aluminum chloride to give hexamethyl Dewar-benzene (W. Schafer, 1967). Its irradiation leads not only to aromatization but also to hexa-methylprismane (D.M. Lemal, 1966). Highly substituted prlsmanes may also be obtained from the corresponding benzene derivatives by irradiation with 254 nm light. The rather stable prismane itself was synthesized via another hydrocarbon, namely benzvalene, a labile molecule (T. J. Katz, 1971, 1972). 

Neither sodium borohydride nor lithium aluminum hydride reduces isolated carbon-carbon double bonds This makes possible the selective reduction of a carbonyl group m a molecule that contains both carbon-carbon and carbon-oxygen double bonds... 

Common catalyst compositions contain oxides or ionic forms of platinum, nickel, copper, cobalt, or palladium which are often present as mixtures of more than one metal. Metal hydrides, such as lithium aluminum hydride [16853-85-3] or sodium borohydride [16940-66-2] can also be used to reduce aldehydes. Depending on additional functionahties that may be present in the aldehyde molecule, specialized reducing reagents such as trimethoxyalurninum hydride or alkylboranes (less reactive and more selective) may be used. Other less industrially significant reduction procedures such as the Clemmensen reduction or the modified Wolff-Kishner reduction exist as well. 

The common structural element in the crystal lattice of fluoroaluminates is the hexafluoroaluminate octahedron, AIF. The differing stmctural features of the fluoroaluminates confer distinct physical properties to the species as compared to aluminum trifluoride. For example, in A1F. all corners are shared and the crystal becomes a giant molecule of very high melting point (13). In KAIF, all four equatorial atoms of each octahedron are shared and a layer lattice results. When the ratio of fluorine to aluminum is 6, as in cryoHte, Na AlF, the AIFp ions are separate and bound in position by the balancing metal ions. Fluorine atoms may be shared between octahedrons. When opposite corners of each octahedron are shared with a corner of each neighboring octahedron, an infinite chain is formed as, for example, in TI AIF [33897-68-6]. More complex relations exist in chioUte, wherein one-third of the hexafluoroaluminate octahedra share four corners each and two-thirds share only two corners (14). 

Another group of isoprene polymerization catalysts is based on alanes and TiCl. In place of alkyl aluminum, derivatives of AlH (alanes) are used and react with TiCl to produce an active catalyst for the polymerization of isoprene. These systems are unique because no organometaHic compound is involved in producing the active species from TiCl. The substituted alanes are generally complexed with donor molecules of the Lewis base type, and they are Hquids or soHds that are soluble in aromatic solvents. The performance of catalysts prepared from AlHCl20(C2H )2 with TiCl has been reported (101). 

The higher efficiency of fortified rosin sizes is beHeved to result from the semihydrophilic nature of the rosin adduct molecules, which results in a more dispersed system of particles during size precipitation by alum. Consequendy, there is a more uniform distribution of somewhat smaller particles on the sized fibers. This dispersing effect may result from the strong tendency of aluminum to coordinate with organic anions. 

After drying, the aluminum resinates are immobile below 100°C and are oriented with the hydrophilic carboxyl groups combined with aluminum on the fiber surface, and the hydrophobic bulk of the rosin molecule oriented outwardly. 

With appropriately substituted oxetanes, aluminum-based initiators (321) impose a degree of microstmctural control on the substituted polyoxetane stmcture that is not obtainable with a pure cationic system. A polymer having largely the stmcture of poly(3-hydroxyoxetane) has been obtained from an anionic rearrangement polymerisation of glycidol or its trimethylsilyl ether, both oxirane monomers (322). Polymerisation-induced epitaxy can produce ultrathin films of highly oriented POX molecules on, for instance, graphite (323). Theoretical studies on the cationic polymerisation mechanism of oxetanes have been made (324—326). 

Aluminum hydroxide and aluminum chloride do not ionize appreciably in solution but behave in some respects as covalent compounds. The aluminum ion has a coordination number of six and in solution binds six molecules of water existing as [Al(H20)g]. On addition of a base, substitution of the hydroxyl ion for the water molecule proceeds until the normal hydroxide results and precipitation is observed. Dehydration is essentially complete at pH 7. 

There is much discussion on the nature of the aluminum species present in slightly acidic and basic solutions. There is general agreement that in solutions below pH 4, the mononuclear Al " exists coordinated by six water molecules, ie, [ ( 20) ". The strong positive charge of the Al " ion polarizes each water molecule and as the pH is increased, a proton is eventually released, forming the monomeric complex ion [A1(0H)(H20) ]. At about pH 5, this complex ion and the hexahydrated Al " are in equal abundance. The pentahydrate complex ion may dimerize by losing two water molecules... 

Another cosmetic appHcation of aluminum compounds is as lakes for Hpstick manufacture (21). A water-soluble dye can become a Hpstick ingredient if combined with compounds that are colorless and insoluble. The result, caHed a lake, is insoluble in both oil and water. Some dyes are laked with alumina others are dissolved in water and treated with solutions that precipitate Al(OH)2 with the dye molecules occluded in the precipitate. These... 

The reaction involves two electrons per thionyl chloride [7719-09-7] molecule (40). Also, one of the products, SO2, is a Hquid under the internal pressure of the cell, facihtating a more complete use of the reactant. Finally, no cosolvent is required for the solution, because thionyl chloride is a Hquid having only a modest vapor pressure at room temperature. The electrolyte salt most commonly used is lithium aluminum chloride [14024-11-4] LiAlCl. Initially, the sulfur product is also soluble in the electrolyte, but as the composition changes to a higher SO2 concentration and sulfur [7704-34-9] huA.ds up, a saturation point is reached and the sulfur precipitates. 

Friedel-Crafts Acylation. The Friedel-Crafts acylation procedure is the most important method for preparing aromatic ketones and thein derivatives. Acetyl chloride (acetic anhydride) reacts with benzene ia the presence of aluminum chloride or acid catalysts to produce acetophenone [98-86-2], CgHgO (1-phenylethanone). Benzene can also be condensed with dicarboxyHc acid anhydrides to yield benzoyl derivatives of carboxyHc acids. These benzoyl derivatives are often used for constmcting polycycHc molecules (Haworth reaction). For example, benzene reacts with succinic anhydride ia the presence of aluminum chloride to produce P-benzoylpropionic acid [2051-95-8] which is converted iato a-tetralone [529-34-0] (30). 

Organic compounds of bromine usually resemble their chlorine analogues but have higher densities and lower vapor pressures. The bromo compounds are more reactive toward alkaUes and metals brominated solvents should generally be kept from contact with active metals such as aluminum. On the other hand, they present less fire hazard one bromine atom per molecule reduces flammabiUty about as much as two chlorine atoms. 

In this appHcation, ZSM-5 acts as a strong, soHd acid, and may be viewed as supported on the surfaces of the crystalline zeoHte stmcture. The older, Friedel-Crafts aluminum chloride catalyzed process for ethylbenzene produces considerably more by-products and suffers from the corrosivity of the catalyst system. Because of the intermediate pore size of ZSM-5, those reactions that produce coke from larger molecules that cannot enter the ZSM-5 pore stmcture are significantly reduced, which greatly extends catalyst lifetime. 

Lake Red C is an example of a pigment that has been made insoluble by a heavy metal. In this case the metal is barium one barium ion precipitates two molecules. Other metals used are calcium, strontium, manganese, and aluminum. This pigment is used in polystyrene. 

Strong acids are able to donate protons to a reactant and to take them back. Into this class fall the common acids, aluminum hahdes, and boron trifluoride. Also acid in nature are silica, alumina, alumi-nosihcates, metal sulfates and phosphates, and sulfonated ion exchange resins. They can transfer protons to hydrocarbons acting as weak bases. Zeolites are dehydrated aluminosilicates with small pores of narrow size distribution, to which is due their highly selective action since only molecules small enough to enter the pores can reacl .
