Coordination compounds amine salts

Many common reactions of aliphatic amines, ethers and sulfides (1) involve initial attack by an electrophilic reagent at a lone pair of electrons on the heteroatom salts, quaternary salts, coordination compounds, amine oxides, sulfoxides and sulfones are formed in this way. Corresponding reactions are very rare (c/. Section 3.3.1.3) with pyrroles, furans and thiophenes. These heterocycles react with electrophilic reagents at the carbon atoms (2-3) rather than at the heteroatom. Vinyl ethers and amines (4) show intermediate behavior reacting frequently at the (3-carbon but sometimes at the heteroatom. 

The covalent character of mercury compounds and the corresponding abiUty to complex with various organic compounds explains the unusually wide solubihty characteristics. Mercury compounds are soluble in alcohols, ethyl ether, benzene, and other organic solvents. Moreover, small amounts of chemicals such as amines, ammonia (qv), and ammonium acetate can have a profound solubilizing effect (see COORDINATION COMPOUNDS). The solubihty of mercury and a wide variety of mercury salts and complexes in water and aqueous electrolyte solutions has been well outlined (5). 

Kinetic data for the deaquation-anation reactions [33] of a range of mixed amine coordination compound salts of chromium(III) were discussed with a view to determining the mechanisms of the reactions observed. From the results it was concluded that behaviour is influenced by the available free space in the crystal structure and that dehydration, accompanied by isomerization, involves the simultaneous rupture of Cr-N (organic ligand) and Cr-0 (water) bonds. 

From a practical point of view, isocyanates, together with carbamates and ureas (Chapter 3), are the most important organic products discussed in this book. Their synthesis from nitroarenes has indeed been the subject of many patents. There are also limited examples of aliphatic isocyanates obtained by this route. Organic mono- and diisocyanates may be prepared in a continues liquid phase method by treating the appropriate amine with phosgene. However, the reaction is rather complex [6] and, besides the use of the dangerous phosgene, the formation of the corrosive hydrochloric acid creates several problems. Aliphatic isocyanates can also be obtained from olefins with isocyanate ion in the presence of a salt of a coordination compound of palladium or platinum [7], from olefins with isocyanic acid in the vapour phase over Pt/ALOs [8], and from formamides, by oxidation over a silver catalyst [9]. Apparently only the last reaction seems to have some potential practical applications [10]. 

The metal complexes with the N,0-containing ligands (alkanolamines, lactams, nitrosophenylhydroxylamine) were synthesized by applying some different techniques. The alkanolamine coordination compounds were obtained by the reaction of the metal salts or of the metal alkoxides with some amines (e.g., with triethanoloamine [168]). The metal chlorides reacted with caprolactam in such solvents as water and alcohol to produce the lactam complexes which are the viscous liquids after distilling off the solvents [172]. 

The BH stretch in borazines absorbs at 2580-2450 cm Compounds where the boron octet is complete such as in borohydride salts or amine-borane coordination complexes absorb at 2400-2200 cm due to BH stretch. 

As outlined in section 18.2, the atomic structure should, in principle, be the correct ground state structure in order to get quantitative correct thermodynamic data from DFT. This is typically only achieved after rigorous computational optimization, which is too computationally costly in any screening study, and we thus have to use model structures that give correct trends but not necessarily exact numbers. This has previously been shown to be a vahd approach for metal chloride amines and other coordination compounds [19,101]. Here, the model structures are based on the different coordination observed in metal amine salts, starting with 8 in SrCU and moving to 6 in MgCl2, and 4 in LiBr if the former is not stable. 

The formation of quarternary compounds occurs because the lone pair on the nitrogen atom can form a coordinate bond with a proton. This can also occur with heterogeneous nitrogen compounds, such as adenine, cytosine, thymine, and guanine. Such compounds are known as nitrogenous bases. See also amine salt. 

The reactions of mercury(II) salts with oligo-amines afford informative examples for the fact that counterions induce the formation of a distinct complex or select a distinct complex in an equilibrium to crystallize with. Thus, Hg11 acetate with dien under exactly the same reaction conditions, in the presence of C104- or PF6-, yields the dinuclear complex [Hg2(dien)3](C104)4 or the mononuclear species [Hg(dien)(H20)](PF6)2, respectively, both characterized by IR, H, and 13C NMR spectrometries, by fast-atom bombardment (FAB) MS, cyclovoltammetry, and X-ray structure analyses.209 In the first compound Pna2, Z = 4), one Hg adopts five-coordination with one tridentate and one bidentate dien ligand, which with the remaining N-donor binds to the... 

Early work focused on compounds with open-chain carbenes generally synthesized in the coordination sphere of the gold atom, for example, by addition of amines or alcohols to isocyanide ligands in the corresponding gold complexes. Subsequent synthetic approaches have relied on the in situ deprotonation of onium salt precursors by a... 

A more satisfactory solution to the mechanism of these substitutions now seems experimentally feasible. It is likely that the trisamino chelate (XXXIII) could be completely resolved by salt formation with a suitable optically active acid. The optically pure amine could then be converted by electrophilic cleavage into optically active bromo-, chloro-, and thiocyanate-substituted chelates. It would thus be a simple matter to determine whether these substitutions proceed with complete retention of asymmetry. Further, the question of a symmetrical five-coordinate intermediate in racemization of such compounds could probably be elucidated by a study of solvent polarity or salt effects on the kinetics of the racemization of these chelates.
