Salts anions and

The effect of common-anion salts and of added water showed, however, that ionic chain carriers must also be present in these systems. These observations, coupled with experiments where dilute solutions of the monomers were treated with excess of acid and the reactions followed by ultraviolet spectroscopy, produced sufficient information about the initiation reaction pattern and thus completed the overall kinetic and mechanistic approach. 

In another variation the dilithium salt was obtained from 2-bromophenol and contamination with LiBr followed by Soxhlet extraction to solubilize the binuclear anionic salt and obtain crystals of LieCr -OCeH BrrhE O (Scheme 21).171... 

Molecular recognition, binding and transport of different chemical species represents an aspect of supramolecular chemistry that has relevance to a number of areas that include biochemical processes, analytical techniques, recycling and environmental processes as vell as aspects of catalysis and medicine. Over the years, a large number of both efficient and selective receptors for cations, anions, salts and zwitterions based on different architectures and binding modes have been developed and studied [1-4],... 

It is the intention of this chapter to present an overview of the potential of the extraction technique for characterizing the binding strengths, selectivity, speciation and phase transfer behavior of supramolecular receptors towards selected cations, anions, salts and zwitterions in aqueous-organic, two-phase systems. The role of... 

To simplify the text in this Section, radical anion salts and crown compounds and cryptates are considered collectively in special subdivisions. The majority of the data, however, are discussed in subdivisions devoted to derivatives of the individual alkali metals. For those data pertinent to several alkali metals, they are described once only, in the subdivision of the lightest metal considered. 

Pseudohalogen A linear or planar univalent radical that, like the halogens, can form anions, salts, and covalent derivatives. 

Terminal alkyne anions are popular reagents for the acyl anion synthons (RCHjCO"). If this nucleophile is added to aldehydes or ketones, the triple bond remains. This can be con verted to an alkynemercury(II) complex with mercuric salts and is hydrated with water or acids to form ketones (M.M.T. Khan, 1974). The more substituted carbon atom of the al-kynes is converted preferentially into a carbonyl group. Highly substituted a-hydroxyketones are available by this method (J.A. Katzenellenbogen, 1973). Acetylene itself can react with two molecules of an aldehyde or a ketone (V. jager, 1977). Hydration then leads to 1,4-dihydroxy-2-butanones. The 1,4-diols tend to condense to tetrahydrofuran derivatives in the presence of acids. 

Salts composed of an anion, RO—, and a cation, usually a metal, can be named by citing first the cation and then the RO anion (with its ending changed to -yl oxide), e.g., sodium benzyl oxide for CgH5CH20Na. However, when the radical has an abbreviated name, such as methoxy, the ending -oxy is changed to -oxide. For example, CHjONa is named sodium methoxide (not sodium methylate). 

Ammonium Compounds. Salts and hydroxides containing quadricovalent nitrogen are named as a substituted ammonium salt or hydroxide. The names of the substituting radicals precede the word ammonium, and then the name of the anion is added as a separate word. For example, (CH3)4N+I is tetramethylammonium iodide. 

If a mixture of an insoluble silver salt and Ag2S is used to make the membrane, then the membrane potential also responds to the concentration of the anion of the added silver salt. Thus, pellets made from a mixture of Ag2S and AgCl can serve as a Ck ion-selective electrode, with a cell potential of... 

Alkyl esters of trifluoromethanesulfonic acid, commonly called triflates, have been prepared from the silver salt and an alkyl iodide, or by reaction of the anhydride with an alcohol (18,20,21). Triflates of the 1,1-dihydroperfluoroalkanols, CF2S020CH2R can be prepared by the reaction of perfluoromethanesulfonyl fluoride with the dihydroalcohol in the presence of triethylamine (22,23). Triflates are important intermediates in synthetic chemistry. They are among the best leaving groups known, so they are commonly employed in anionic displacement reactions. 

Solvent extraction—purification of wet-process phosphoric acid is based on preferential extraction of H PO by an organic solvent vs the cationic impurities present in the acid. Because selectivity of acid over anionic impurities is usually not sufficient, precipitation or evaporation steps are included in the purification process for removal. Cmde wet-process acid is typically concentrated and clarified prior to extraction to remove post-precipitated sludge and improve partition of the acid into the solvent. Concentration also partially eliminates fluoride by evaporation of HF and/or SiF. Chemical precipitation of sulfate (as Ba or Ca salts), fluorosiUcates (as Na salt), and arsenic (as sulfides) may also be used as a prepurification step preceding solvent extraction. 

Several types of wax and wax—metal emulsions are water repeUents (30,31). Among these are wax dispersions without metal salts and wax dispersions containing aluminum or zirconium salts. The products that do not contain metal salts are anionic emulsions of wax, used alone or in combination with durable-press resins. Specific compositions are proprietary. Their chief use is on nylon, polyester, and acetate fabrics. 

The largest use of calcium hypochlorite is for water treatment. It is also used for I I and household disinfectants, cleaners, and mildewcides. Most of the household uses have been limited to in-tank toilet bowl cleaners. In areas where chlorine cannot be shipped or is otherwise unavailable, calcium hypochlorite is used to bleach textiles in commercial laundries and textile mills. It is usually first converted to sodium hypochlorite by mixing it with an aqueous solution of sodium carbonate and removing the precipitated calcium carbonate. Or, it can be dissolved in the presence of sufficient sodium tripolyphosphate to prevent the precipitation of calcium salts. However, calcium hypochlorite is not usually used to bleach laundry and textiles because of problems with insoluble inorganic calcium salts and precipitation of soaps and anionic detergents as their calcium salts. 

Molecular Interactions. Various polysaccharides readily associate with other substances, including bile acids and cholesterol, proteins, small organic molecules, inorganic salts, and ions. Anionic polysaccharides form salts and chelate complexes with cations some neutral polysaccharides form complexes with inorganic salts and some interactions are stmcture specific. Starch amylose and the linear branches of amylopectin form inclusion complexes with several classes of polar molecules, including fatty acids, glycerides, alcohols, esters, ketones, and iodine/iodide. The absorbed molecule occupies the cavity of the amylose helix, which has the capacity to expand somewhat to accommodate larger molecules. The starch—Hpid complex is important in food systems. Whether similar inclusion complexes can form with any of the dietary fiber components is not known. 

Acid—mordant dyes have characteristics similar to those of acid dyes which have a relatively low molecular weight, anionic substituents, and an affinity to polyamide fibers and mordant dyes. In general, brilliant shades caimot be obtained by acid—mordant dyes because they are used as their chromium mordant by treatment with dichromate in the course of the dyeing procedure. However, because of their excellent fastness for light and wet treatment, they are predominandy used to dye wool in heavy shades (navy blue, brown, and black). In terms of chemical constitution, most of the acid—mordant dyes are azo dyes some are triphenyhnethane dyes and very few anthraquinone dyes are used in this area. Cl Mordant Black 13 [1324-21 -6] (183) (Cl 63615) is one of the few examples of currentiy produced anthraquinone acid—mordant dyes. It is prepared by condensation of purpurin with aniline in the presence of boric acid, followed by sulfonation and finally by conversion to the sodium salt (146,147).
