Anions main-group

The polarity of the displacement reaction can be reversed where suitable reagents are available. Thus, metal halides can be treated with anionic main group fragments. This has been an important method for extending the E-M chemistry to the earlier transition metals for which fewer readily accessible metal-carbonyl complexes are known. Examples for production... 

A number of compounds of the types RSbY2 and R2SbY, where Y is an anionic group other than halogen, have been prepared by the reaction of dihalo- or halostibines with lithium, sodium, or ammonium alkoxides (118,119), amides (120), azides (121), carboxylates (122), dithiocarbamates (123), mercaptides (124,125), or phenoxides (118). Dihalo- and halostibines can also be converted to compounds in which an antimony is linked to a main group (126) or transition metal (127). 

Salts of the [NSO] anion can be used for the synthesis of both transition-metal and main group element thionyl imides by metathetical reactions, e.g., Cp2Ti(NSO)2 and Ph3, .As(NSO)x (x = 1,2), respectively (Section 7.6). 

Several of the catena-Scx anions have proved to be effective chelating ligands to both main-group and transition metals. Synthesis of the... 

The 1,3-dipoles consist of elements from main groups IV, V, and VI. The parent 1,3-dipoles consist of elements from the second row and the central atom of the dipole is limited to N or O [10]. Thus, a limited number of structures can be formed by permutations of N, C, and O. If higher row elements are excluded twelve allyl anion type and six propargyl/allenyl anion type 1,3-dipoles can be obtained. However, metal-catalyzed asymmetric 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions have only been explored for the five types of dipole shown in Scheme 6.2. 

Polyelectrolytes are classified into three main groups nonionic, anionic, and cationic depending upon the nature of the residual charge on the polymer in aqueous solution as shown in Table 1. 

The radii of cations and anions derived from atoms of the main-group elements are shown at the bottom of Figure 6.13. The trends referred to previously for atomic radii are dearly visible with ionic radius as well. Notice, for example, that ionic radius increases moving down a group in the periodic table. Moreover the radii of both cations (left) and anions (right) decrease from left to right across a period. 

Predict the anion or cation that a main-group element is likely to form (Example C.l).

Formulas of compounds consisting of the monatomic ions of main-group elements can be predicted by assuming that cations have lost all their valence electrons and anions have gained electrons in their valence shells until each ion has an octet of electrons, ora duplet in the case of FI, Li, and Be. 

With the exception of a brief report of a dimethylaluminum complex [5], the coordination chemistry of the monomeric anion in (4) has not been investigated. By contrast, Stahl and co-workers have carried out extensive studies of both main group element and transition-metal complexes of the chelating dianion in the cube (7), which have been summarized in a recent review [9]. A noteworthy feature of the ligand behaviour of this N,N chelating dianion is the additional in-... 

The Zintl-Klemm concept evolved from the seminal ideas of E. ZintI that explained the structural behavior of main-group (s-p) binary intermetaUics in terms of the presence of both ionic and covalent parts in their bonding description [31, 37]. Instead of using Hume-Rother/s idea of a valence electron concentration, ZintI proposed an electron transfer from the electropositive to the electronegative partner (ionic part) and related the anionic substructure to known isoelectronic elemental structures (covalent part), e.g., TK in NaTl is isoelectro-nic with C, Si and Ge, and consequenUy a diamond substructure is formed. ZintI hypothesized that the structures of this class of intermetallics would be salt-like [16b, 31 f, 37e].
