Inorganic coordination compounds

Molybdenum s melting point (2,623°C, or 4,753.4°F) exceeds that of steel by 1,000°C (1,832°F) and that of most rocks by 500°C (932°F). For this reason, the element is used in various alloys to improve strength, particularly at high temperatures. Approximately 75 percent of molybdenum produced is used by the iron and steel industries. The element is also utilized to make parts for furnaces, light bulbs, missiles, aircraft, and guns. Molybdenum disulfide is used as a high temperature lubricant, see also Coordination Compounds Inorganic Chemistry Scheele, Carl. 

Nickel metal is malleable, ductile, and a fairly good conductor of electricity and heat. Its most common use is in stainless steels, where it may be combined with various other metals (such as iron, chromium, chromium, copper, etc.) to form alloys that are highly resistant to corrosion. Nickel is also used to make coins (U.S. five-cent pieces contain 25 percent nickel), batteries, magnets, and jewelry to protectively coat other metals and to color glass and ceramics green, see also Coordination Compounds Inorganic Chemistry.

Esters. Esters of inorganic acids are named as the salts for example, ( 113)2804, dimethyl sulfate. However, if it is desired to specify the constitution of the compound, the nomenclature for coordination compounds should be used. 

Hofmann- and Werner-Type Inclusion Compounds. There is a wide range of clathrates having as the host component inorganic coordination compounds represented by the general formulae M(NH2)2 (CN) and X2Y4. The first formula is typical of Hofmaim-type clathrates... 

Other Inorganics. Inorganic species in solution have been studied very effectively by Raman spectroscopy. Work in this area includes the investigation of coordination compounds (qv) of fluorine (qv) (40), the characterization of low dimensional materials (41) and coordinated ligands (42), and single-crystal studies (43). Several compilations of characteristic vibrational frequencies of main-group elements have been pubflshed to aid in the identification of these species (44,45). 

Chromium(III) Chemistry. The most characteristic reactions of Cr(III) in aqueous solution at >4 pH, eg, in the intestine and blood, and hydrolysis and olation (147). As a consequence, inorganic polymeric molecules form that probably are not able to diffuse through membranes. This may be prevented by ligands capable of competing for coordination sites on Cr(III) (see Coordination compounds) (147). Thus any large fraction of ingested Cr(III) should be absorbed. Chromium (ITT) in the form of GTF may be more efficiendy absorbed.

In some recent studies a number of organotechnetium compounds have been prepared from inorganic compounds such as [TcC14] (67) or coordination compounds not containing the Tc-C bond. Several of these reactions are summarized in Scheme 15. 

N anomaterials have been around for hundreds of years and are typically defined as particles of size ranging from 1 to 100 nm in at least one dimension. The inorganic nanomaterial catalysts discussed here are manganese oxides and titanium dioxide. Outside the scope of this chapter are polymers, pillared clays, coordination compounds, and inorganic-organic hybrid materials such as metal-organic frameworks.
