Most mordant dyes are monoazo stmctures. The most important feature of this class of dyes is excellent fastness to light and washing. Mordant dyes are available ia aU shades of the spectmm with the exceptioa of bright violets, blues, and greens. To be useful, the metal complexes must be stable, ie, must not demetallize when subjected to dyebath conditions and aU aftertreatment processes, especially repeated washings. Chromium forms stable chelate rings with mordant dyes which are not affected by treatment with either weak acid or alkaU (see Coordination compounds). 

Investigations of silicon-metal systems are of fundamental interest, since stable coordination compounds with low valent silicon are still rare [64], and furthermore, silicon transition-metal complexes have a high potential for technical applications. For instance, coordination compounds of Ti, Zr, and Hf are effective catalysts for the polymerization of silanes to oligomeric chain-silanes. The mechanism of this polymerization reaction has not yet been fully elucidated, but silylene complexes as intermediates have been the subject of discussion. Polysilanes find wide use in important applications, e.g., as preceramics [65-67] or as photoresists [68-83],... 

The chief aim of this Formula Index, like that of other formula indexes, is to help in locating specific compounds, or even groups of compounds, that might not be easily found in the Subject Index, or in the case of compounds in tables or of many complex coordination compounds, not to be found at all in the Subject Index. All specific compounds, or in some cases ions, with definite formulas (or even a few less definite) are entered in this index, whether entered specifically in the Subject Index or not. As in the latter index, boldface type is used for formulas of compounds or ions whose preparations are described in detail, in at least one of the references cited.

In their first publication on this subject,59 Werner and Miolati showed that the molecular conductances (fx) of coordination compounds decreased as successive molecules of ammonia were replaced by acid residues (negative groups or anions). For cobalt(III) salts, they found that fi for luteo salts (hexaammines) > fi for purpureo salts (acidopentaammines) > /t for praseo salts (di-acidotetraammines). The conductance fell almost to zero for the triacidotriammine Co(N02)3-(NH3)3 and then rose again for tetracidodiammines, in which the complex behaved as an anion. By such measurements, Werner and Miolati determined the number of ions in complexes of cobalt(III), platinum(II) and platinum(IV). They not only found support for the coordination theory, but they also elucidated the process of dissociation of salts in aqueous solution and followed the progress of aquations. 

The stereochemistry of malic acid and its coordination compounds has been the subject of careful investigations.36188 The planarity of the five-atom a-hydroxycarboxylate group is again observed here. Conformational arrangements associated with rotation around C(2)—C(3) bond have been studied by NMR methods and have been discussed in Section 15.7.4.1. 

Among the O-containing heterocyclic ligands, tetrahydrofuran (THF) 376 is the subject of permanent interest [13]. As a result of its interaction (3.18) with metal salts, the molecular solvent complexes of the type 298 (Sec. 2.2.4.4) and 577 are formed, and can be used as precursors to obtain coordination compounds with other ligand systems ... 

The material of the present book is intensified in comparison with earlier, similar subject, monographs [1-4], in the detailed description of the modern state of selection of ligands and the main synthetic methods (Chaps. 2 and 3) and the presence of data on the controlled synthesis of metal complexes (Chap. 4) and synthesis of selected groups of coordination compounds (Chap. 5). However, the chapters mentioned above contain a series of shortcomings, related to the incomplete elucidation of the enormous amount of reported data and the limited examination of...
