Atomic oxygen anion

It is important to emphasize that the atomic oxygen anion-radical plays a role in catalytic oxidation occnrring on varions oxide surfaces. For instance, O reacts with methane at room temperatnre over varions metal oxides (Lee and Gralowsky 1992). On solid catalysis, Q- is more reactive toward alkanes and alkenes than other ionic oxygen species. Iwamoto and Lnnsford (1980) assumed that O is the active oxygen species oxidizing benzene to phenol on with 70% selectivity at... 

Also to be mentioned are the reactions of oxygen atom radical anions with organic substrates. These reactions were reviewed by Gronert (2001). For the reactivity of the atomic oxygen anion-radical, see Section 1.7.2. The atomic oxygen anion-radical reacts with benzene, tetramethylene ethane, or cyclopentadienylidene trimethylenemethane. The reactions consist in abstraction of H2 with the formation of H2O and the corresponding distonic anion-radicals as products. 

Sulfur has a striking ability to catenate, or form chains of atoms. Oxygen s ability to form chains is very limited, with H202, 03, and the anions 02, 022-, and OG the only examples. Sulfur s ability is much more pronounced. It appears, for instance, in the existence of Ss rings, their fragments, and the long strands of plastic sulfur that form when sulfur is heated to about 200°C and suddenly...

Coordinative unsaturation arises from the fact that because of steric and electronic reasons, only a limited number of ligands or nearest neighbors can be within bonding distance of a metal atom or ion. In most transition metal oxides, the oxygen anions in the bulk form closed-packed layers and the metal cations occupy holes among the anions as schematically depicted in Fig. 2.1. In this picture, the oxide ion ligands appear to have saturated the coordination sphere of the bulk cation. 

The Brook isomerization is the migration of a silyl group from a carbon atom to an oxygen anion as illustrated in its simplest [1,2] form (e.g. 27 to 28 in equation 11). ... 

On addition of S04 to the triple bond in the lO-member cycloalkyne 24 and cyclo-aUcynone 27, a nonchain, and anionic, self-terminating radical cyclization cascade is induced. In the former reaction (equation 22) the bicyclic ketones 25 and 26 are formed, and in the latter reaction (equation 23) the a,/3-epoxy ketones 28 and 29 are formed in good yields. Because of the difficulty of oxidizing isolated triple bonds, 804 does not react as an electron-transfer reagent in these reactions but acts as a donor of atomic oxygen.
