The composition and chemical state of the surface atoms or molecules are very important, especially in the field of heterogeneous catalysis, where mixed-surface compositions are common. This aspect is discussed in more detail in Chapter XVIII (but again see Refs. 55, 56). Since transition metals are widely used in catalysis, the determination of the valence state of surface atoms is important, such as by ESCA, EXAFS, or XPS (see Chapter VIII and note Refs. 59, 60). 

Electronic spectra of surfaces can give information about what species are present and their valence states. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and its variant, ESC A, are commonly used. Figure VIII-11 shows the application to an A1 surface and Fig. XVIII-6, to the more complicated case of Mo supported on TiOi [37] Fig. XVIII-7 shows the detection of photochemically produced Br atoms on Pt(lll) [38]. Other spectroscopies that bear on the chemical state of adsorbed species include (see Table VIII-1) photoelectron spectroscopy (PES) [39-41], angle resolved PES or ARPES [42], and Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) [43-47]. Spectroscopic detection of adsorbed hydrogen is difficult, and... 

The platinum-group metals (PGMs), which consist of six elements in Groups 8— 10 (VIII) of the Periodic Table, are often found collectively in nature. They are mthenium, Ru rhodium, Rh and palladium, Pd, atomic numbers 44 to 46, and osmium. Os indium, Ir and platinum, Pt, atomic numbers 76 to 78. Corresponding members of each triad have similar properties, eg, palladium and platinum are both ductile metals and form active catalysts. Rhodium and iridium are both characterized by resistance to oxidation and chemical attack (see Platinum-GROUP metals, compounds).

Chemical Properties. Organohydrosilanes undergo a wide variety of chemical conversions. The Si—H bond of organohydrosilanes reacts with elements of most groups of the Periodic System, especially Groups 16(VIA) and 17(VIIA). There are no known reactions if the Si—H bond is replaced by stable bonds of sihcon with elements of Groups 2(IIA), 13(IIIA), and 8—10(VIII).

The rate of reaction of a series of nucleophiles with a single substrate is related to the basicity when the nucleophilic atom is the same and the nucleophiles are closely related in chemical type. Thus, although the rates parallel the basicities of anilines (Tables VII and VIII) as a class and of pyridine bases (Tables VII and VIII) as a class, the less basic anilines are much more reactive. This difference in reactivity is based on a lower energy of activation as is the reactivity sequence piperidine > ammonia > aniline. Further relationships among the nucleophiles found in this work are morpholine vs. piperidine (Table III) methoxide vs. 4-nitrophenoxide (Table II) and alkoxides vs. piperidine (Tables II, III, and VIII). Hydrogen bonding in the transition state and acid catalysis increase the rates of reaction of anilines. Reaction rates of the pyridine bases are decreased by steric hindrance between their alpha hydrogens and the substituents or...

Formation of mixtures of products in these reactions can be attributed largely to the properties of the acetate group. The reactions of a number of cycloalkenes with thallium(III) salts have been investigated in some detail and the results obtained have served both to elucidate the stereochemistry of oxythallation and to underline the important role assumed by the anion of the metal salt in these oxidations. The most unambiguous evidence as to the stereochemistry of oxythallation comes from studies by Winstein on the oxythallation of norbornene (VII) and norbornadiene (VIII) with thal-lium(III) acetate in chloroform, in which the adducts (IX) and (X) could be precipitated from the reaction mixture by addition of pentane 128) (Scheme 11). Both by chemical means and by analogy with the oxymercuration... 

Perhaps the most important chemical property of these complexes is their potential as catalysts, particularly of the early transition metal isoleptic compounds for a-olefin polymerization. This arises because unlike the methyls, they are sufficiently stable to be used at temperatures where polymerization rates are adequate. Some data are summarized in Table VIII ( 9) TT-acceptor ligands are clearly disadvantageous. It will be seen that some of the systems are more active than Ziegler types, although stereoselectivity is poorer.
