Ammonium halides, insoluble

Conversion of the organotin chlorides into fluorides, bromides, or iodides is usually carried out with the sodium halide in acetone, and residual organotin compounds are often removed as the insoluble organotin fluorides. The fluorides can then be converted back into the bromides, chlorides, or iodides (and exchanges by other halides can be brought about with aqueous ammonium halides at room temperature).332 A 2 1 mixture (solid solution) of CsF and CsOH, mixed with silica gel, also provides a very convenient way of removing organotin halide byproducts from solution.333... 

Lower molecular-weight quaternary ammonium halides, which partition across the two-phase system, transfer anions in measurable concentrations from the aqueous to the organic phase but, in contrast, many of the higher-molecular-weight quaternary ammonium halides with more than ca. 30 carbon atoms are virtually insoluble in aqueous media and their partition coefficients between aqueous and organic phases preclude the transfer of anions efficiently across the interface by the extraction process and yet catalysts, such as Aliquat 336 and Adogen 464, are extremely effective catalysts. 

Arsenic Amide, As(NH2)3, is formed by the action of ammonia on arsenic trichloride, tribromide or triiodide at -35° to —40° C., the ammonium halide being removed from the residue by washing with liquid ammonia, in which the amide is insoluble.3 It is a greyish-white powder, stable in dry air below 0° C., but above this temperature it begins to decompose, yielding the imide and, at higher temperatures, the nitride. It may be kept at ordinary temperatures in an atmosphere of ammonia without decomposition. Water readily converts it into arsenious oxide and ammonia. 

A surfactant molecule is an amphiphile, which means it has a hydrophilic (water-soluble) moiety and a hydrophobic (water-insoluble) moiety separable by a mathematical surface. The hydrophobic tails of the most common surfactants are hydrocarbons. Fluorocarbon and perfluorocarbon tails are, however, not unusual. Because of the hydrophobic tail, a surfactant resists forming a molecular solution in water. The molecules will tend to migrate to any water-vapor interface available or, at sufficiently high concentration, the surfactant molecules will spontaneously aggregate into association colloids, i.e., into micelles or liquid crystals. Because of the hydrophilic head, a surfactant (with a hydrocarbon tail) will behave similarly when placed in oil or when put in solution with oil and water mixtures. Some common surfactants are sodium or potassium salts of long-chained fatty acids (soaps), sodium ethyl sulfates and sulfonates (detergents), alkyl polyethoxy alcohols, alkyl ammonium halides, and lecithins or phospholipids. 

Dipotassium ammonolithiate, (Li[NH2]3)K2, is formed from potassamide and lithium iodide in solution in liquid ammonia, and under the influence of platinum-black by the simultaneous action of potassium and lithium on liquid ammonia. The very small, colourless crystals are almost insoluble in liquid ammonia. With acid amides, ammonium halides, and ammonium salts of oxy-acids it yields the corresponding salts of lithium, potassium, and ammonium. 

Choice and Amount of Catalyst and Role of the Cu Cocatalyst. Most frequently 0.1—5 mol % (PhsP)2-PdCp and varying amounts of Cul are used in both organic and polymer-forming reactions. In cases where the haloarene is sufficiently active (typically iodoarenes), much smaller amounts (0.1—0.3%) should be sufficient. The successful start of the reaction can be monitored by the increase of turbidity of the reaction mixture, indicating the formation of insoluble ammonium halides. If very small amounts of catalyst are used, it may be necessary to add another batch to the reaction mixture until the reaction... 

TSeT)2-halides combine high room temperature conductivity (o = 2500 Qcm ) with high thermal stability up to over 250 °C (see Fig. l).They are, however, practically insoluble even in exotic organic solvents. Only the donor TSeT itself shows limited solubility in high boiling polar solvents. Until recently pure 2 1 halides could only be made by electrocrystallization in nitrobenzene in the presence of an organic ammonium halide as electrolyte. Chemical pathways like oxidation with Cl2-gas or ferrous chloride lead to impure products mainly due to overoxidation of the donor. 

Arsenic triiodide also dissolves, the saturated solution at 15° C. having density 3-661. Other soluble halides are potassium bromide, anhydrous ferric and aluminium chlorides 6 and tetramethyl ammonium iodide but the iodides of rubidium, cadmium, manganese and cobalt, also mercuric and stannic iodides, and cobalt and stannic bromides, are insoluble or only very slightly soluble in arsenic tribromide. The liquid also dissolves phosphoryl bromide and, very slightly, ammonium thiocyanate. In the mixed solutions of halides, the components may react chemically (cf. p. 106), but such is not always the case for example, with antimony tribromide a continuous series of solid solutions is formed.7... 

Most ionic halides dissolve in water to give hydrated metal ions and halide ions. However, the lanthanide and actinide elements in the +3 and +4 oxidation states form fluorides insoluble in water. Fluorides of Li, Ca, Sr, and Ba also are sparingly soluble, the lithium compound being precipitated by ammonium fluoride. Lead gives a sparingly soluble salt PbCIF, which can be used for gravimetric determination of F . The chlorides, bromides, and iodides of Ag1, Cu1, Hg1, and Pbn are also quite insoluble. The solubility through a series of mainly ionic halides of a... 

The bismuth(lll) halides are moisture sensitive and are readily converted into the oxyhalides BiOX (equation 1). Addition of acid to aqueous suspensions of the oxyhalides will regenerate BiX3, which exist as complex halo anions in solution. Addition of ammonium hydroxide to such solutions results in the formation of insoluble Bi(OH)3, which is easily dehydrated to the oxide. 

Sulfur Complexes. Silver compounds other than sulfide dissolve in excess thiosulfate. Stable silver complexes are also formed with thiourea. Except for the cyanide complexes, these sulfur complexes of silver are the most stable. In photography, solutions of sodium or ammonium thiosulfate fixers are used to solubilize silver halides present in processed photographic emulsions. When insoluble silver thiosulfate is dissolved in excess thiosulfate, various silver complexes form. At low thiosulfate concentrations, the principal silver species is Ag2(S203) 2> higl thiosulfate concentrations, species such as Ag2(S203) g are present. Silver sulfide dissolves in alkaline sulfide solutions to form complex ions such as Ag(S 2 Ag(HS) 4. These ions are... 

Acidify 0.5 mL of the alkaline solution from the fusion with dilute nitric acid (indicator paper) and, if nitrogen or sulfur has been found present, boil the solution (hood) to expel HCN or HjS. On addition of a few drops of silver nitrate solution, halide ion is precipitated as silver halide. Filter with minimum exposure to light on a 2.5-cm funnel, wash with water, and then with 1 mL of concentrated ammonia solution. If the precipitate is white and readily soluble in ammonium hydroxide solution it is AgCl if it is pale yellow and not readily soluble it is AgBr if it is yellow and insoluble it is Agl. Fluorine is not detected in this test since silver fluoride is soluble in water. 

Wet-chemical analyses of aqueous extracts of aerosol samples have established the presence of anions such as sulfate, nitrate, and the halides, and of cations such as ammonium and the ions of the alkali and alkaline earth elements. Table 7-13 shows selected data to illustrate the abundances of important inorganic components in the urban, continental, arctic, and marine aerosols. Included for comparison are the concentrations of silicon, aluminum, and iron, which are the major elements of crustal origin. They occur in oxidized form, such as in aluminosilicates, which are practically insoluble. Taken together, the elements listed in Table 7-13 account for 90% of all inorganic constituents of the atmospheric aerosol.
