Carbon tetrachloride chemical bonds

More complicated molecules, with two or more chemical bonds, have more complicated absorption spectra. However, each molecule has such a characteristic spectrum that the spectrum can be used to detect the presence of that particular molecular substance. Figure 14-17, for example, shows the absorptions shown by liquid carbon tetrachloride, CCfi, and by liquid carbon disulfide, CS2. The bottom spectrum is that displayed by liquid CC14 containing a small amount of C. The absorptions of CS2 are evident in the spectrum of the mixture, so the infrared spectrum can be used to detect the impurity and to measure its concentration. 

Chloroform, CHCla, is an example of a polar molecule. It has the same bond angles as methane, CH4, and carbon tetrachloride, CCLi- Carbon, with sp3 bonding, forms four tetrahedrally oriented bonds (as in Figure 16-11). However, the cancellation of the electric dipoles of the four C—Cl bonds in CCL does not occur when one of the chlorine atoms is replaced by a hydrogen atom. There is, then, a molecular dipole remaining. The effects of such electric dipoles are important to chemists because they affect chemical properties. We shall examine one of these, solvent action. 

There is a marked difference in chemical reactivity between bridging and terminal hydrogens. Terminally bonded hydrogens readily react in a similar manner to that observed for mononuclear hydrides. Thus reactions with chlorinated hydrocarbons such as carbon tetrachloride yield the chloro cluster complexes and chloroform. In contrast, bridging hydrides are stable and may be studied in chlorinated sol-... 

The carbon tetrachloride molecule has the simple chemical structure shown on the left four atoms of chlorine are chemically bonded to one carbon atom. 

Chlorination of natural rubber (NR) is carried out with chlorine in carbon tetrachloride solution at 60-90°C to yield a chlorinated rubber containing about 65% chlorine, which corresponds to 3.5 chlorine atoms per repeat unit. The process is complex and includes chlorine addition to the double bond, substitution at allylic positions, and cyclization. Chlorinated rubber has high moisture resistance and is resistant to most aqueous reagents (including mineral acids and bases). It is used in chemical- and corrosion-resistant paints, printing inks, and textile coatings. Bromination of butyl rubber is also practiced [Parent et al., 2002]. 

Are not these differences in conductivity evidence of a different kind of bond in the two molecules represented by NaCl and other salts, on the one hand, and carbon tetrachloride on the other, and do not the differences in volatility, chemical behaviour and, in fact, all their properties, point in the same direction ... 

Bond et al. (1986) conducted a nested case-control study of lung cancer among a cohort of 19 608 male chemical workers in the United States (Bond et al., 1985). Further details of the study are reported in Section 2.2 of the monograph on carbon tetrachloride in this volume. Ever having been exposed to epichlorohydrin was associated with a decreased risk of lung cancer (odds ratio, 0.3 95% CI, 0.1-0.9 5 exposed cases). 

The 119Sn chemical shift of dimethyltin dichloride in carbon tetrachloride and other non-polar solvents remains practically invariant to large changes in concentration. It has a value of ca. +140 ppm. This indicates the ease with which the molecules are able to dissociate into discrete tetrahedral species in solution as a result of the very weak inter-molecular Sn... Cl bonds which exist in crystalline dimethyltin dichloride. (55) On the other hand, a chemical shift-concentration study of trimethyltin formate in deuterochloroform solution (56) has revealed a dramatic change in chemical shift from +2-5 ppm for a 3 M solution to + 152 ppm on dilution to 0-05 m in the same solvent. This has been attributed to self-association of monomeric tetrahedral trimethyltin formate molecules, [3]. As the concentration is increased, five-coordinate oligomeric or polymeric species, [4], could be formed. These are known to exist in the solid state. (57)... 

The most commonly studied pyrrolopyridine is compound (1). This compound is capable of selfassociation, a phenomenon that has led to much investigation, especially by NMR techniques. NMR data in carbon tetrachloride and benzene show that the chemical shift of the H-l proton moves downfield as the concentration of solute is increased. This type of shift is typical for a proton that undergoes hydrogen bond formation. From the NMR data, the dimerization constant for 1H-pyrrolo[2,3-/>]pyridine (1) has been determined to be 18.9 + 10.3 mol l l <8IJPC3l8l>. 

The addition of bromine has been used as a simple chemical test for the presence of olefinic double bonds. A solution of bromine in carbon tetrachloride is a clear, deep... 

The dynamics of the molecular rotation of 2-pyridone in toluene, carbon tetrachloride, methanol, and water have been investigated at 305 K by 13C and 2H NMR spectroscopy. Both chemical shifts and relaxation times show that it forms stable hydrogen-bonded complexes in methanol and in water, reorienting as a complete unit and taking with it two solvent molecules. These solvated species are stable within the liquid-state temperature range, and reorient according to the hydrodynamic law as indicated by the 14N line width measurements (85MRC460). 

Aromatic hydroxycarboxylic acids, especially salicylic acid, have a wide range of applications, for example, as valuable raw materials and intermediates in the production of pharmaceutical chemicals. Originally, salicylic acid was synthesized by the Kolbe-Schmitt reaction [57], which consists of two steps (1) the synthesis and purification of alkali metal phenoxides and (2) carboxylation (Scheme 4.4). Another possible synthetic method is via the attack of a trichloromethyl cation (generated by a copper catalyst from carbon tetrachloride) on the phenoxide anion, followed by hydrolysis of the C—Cl bonds with concentrated sodium hydroxide, because it is fairly difficult to replace an aromatic hydrogen with carboxyl functionality [58]. 

The covalent or homopolar bond, the normal chemical valency bond such as that, say, between the two atoms in the chlorine molecule, or between the carbon and chlorine atoms in the molecule of carbon tetrachloride. 

Chloromethane is an important industrial chemical. Olah et al. [56] have reported the selective catalytic monochlorination of methane to chloromethane over superacidic sulfated zirconia solid catalysts, for example 804 /Zr02, Pt/ S04 7Zr02, and Fe/Mn/S04 7Zr02- The reactions were conducted in a continuous-flow reactor under atmospheric pressure. At 200 °C with 30 % chlorine the selectivity to chloromethane was > 90 %.The selectivity could be enhanced by adding platinum. The only by-product was CH2CI2. The latter is formed by the subsequent chlorination of chloromethane. No chloroform or carbon tetrachloride was formed. The authors postulated that chlorination occurs by an electrophilic insertion of an electron-deficient, metal coordinated, chlorine molecule into the C-H bond of methane. One drawback of the process was that above 225 °C, part of the metal was removed as the metal chloride [56]. Formation and subsequent loss of volatile metal chlorides is a major pitfall that should be avoided during vapor-phase chlorination over solid catalysts. 

The chemical shift (d) of the carboxy protons of quinoxaline-2,3-dicarboxylic acid in dimethylformamide-carbon tetrachloride mixtures increases with increasing concentration of the diacid and with increasing carbon tetrachloride content in the solvent, and decreases with increasing temperature. However the chemical shift of the carboxy protons in quinoxaline-2,3-dicarboxylic acid 1,4-dioxide is concentration independent. This suggests that the diacid is intermolecularly hydrogen bonded and that the diacid di-N-oxide is intramolecularly hydrogen bonded. ...
