Covalent ions

Covalency effects on cell dimension vs ionic radii plots manifest themselves in a lowering of the line joining the more covalent ions relative to a line joining the Mg and Ca compounds. Thus, in fluorides, Ni... 

Using a similar approach, Chechik and Crooks (73), modified the PAMAM dendrimer-encapsulated palladium nanoparticles with perfluoropolyether tails utilizing non-covalent ion-pair interactions. The catalytic hydrogenation of six substrates under biphasic conditions (toluene/ perfluoro-2-butyltetrahydrofuran FC-75) was investigated. Allyl alcohol, methyl acrylate, vinyl isopropenyl ether, and... 

Ionic ROP shows most of the characteristics described in Chap. 5. There is minimal discussion in this chapter of those characteristics that are similar to those for carbon-carbon and carbon-oxygen double-bond polymerizations. Ionic ROP shows analogous effects of solvent and counterion, propagation by different species (covalent, ion pair, free ion), and association phenomena. 

The problem of high pressure drops with gel entrapped materials has been overcome by entrapping the enzymes in plastic materials snch as polystyrene and polymethylmethacrylate (Wang et al, 1997). The method involves chemical acryloylation of the enzyme to provide a polymerizable functionality, formation of non-covalent ion pairs between the enzymes and a snrfactant, solntion of these ion pairs in an organic solvent followed by addition of vii rl monomers, a crosshnker, and an initiator to give the desired vinyl polymer with the entrapped enzymes. 

A covalent ion can also have polar bonds. Consider the ammonium cation. How are its bonds polarized Do you think that the N of the ammonium cation is more or less electronegative than the N of ammonia (NH3) Would the hydrogens of NR,+ or NH3 have a larger partial positive charge ... 

Let s consider the formate anion, shown in Figure 3.15. The first Lewis structure (a) does not accurately represent the structure of this covalent ion, because a second Lewis structure can be drawn (b) that is equivalent to the first. The actual structure is a resonance hybrid of these two structures. Experiments confirm that the two CO bonds are identical, with a bond length between that of a single and a double bond, and that the charge on each oxygen is the same, approximately —y. 

We have implied that the high syn selectivity in alkynes requires relatively tight association or bonding from beginning to end, whether the participants are covalent, ion pair, radicaloid, etc. By participants we mean the four reaction centres pictured in 27 to 30. Other ligands to copper, e.g. Br or (EtO)3P, may be labile and are effectively replaced by the triple bond as the addition occurs . At higher temperatures, when syn selectivity often decreases , one would have to allow the copper adduct to dissociate, isomerize and recombine. 

The examples discussed above refer to adduct ion formation, where covalent bonds are formed in the Cl plasma. However, with the increasing importance of alternative ionization techniques, such as thermospray (TSI) and, in particular, electrospray ionization (ESI), a wealth of non-covalent ion/molecule adduct ions can be generated and studied nowadays. One recent example concerns the formation of ion/solvent adducts, [M- -So]+, with M including 3-aminophenol, 3-(methylamino)phenol and 3-(dimethylamino)phenol, and several hydroxypyrimidines, among other aromatic molecules. The relative abundances of ions [M- -H]+, [M -h So -h H]+ and [M - - 2 So - - H]+ were studied as a function of the temperature and the pH, with the solvents being mixtures of methanol/water and acetonitrile/water which may contain ammonium acetate as an additive . Quite in contrast to this empirical study on proton-bound ion/molecule complexes, the non-covalent, open-shell adduct ions [l + -h NH3] were investigated with respect to their intrinsic reactivity. These adduct ions were generated from phenol and ammonia by laser ionization of a... 

Covalent compounds are composed of nonmetals. Polyatomic anions, sulfate, nitrate, and so on, are covalent species that bear a charge covalent ions in ionic compounds. (NH4C1 is also considered ionic, NH4+, CT, although the ammonium ion is covalent.)...

What if you are told the number of unpaired electrons for a coordinate covalent ion and are asked to tell if the ligand produced a strong or weak field Give an example of a coordinate covalent ion for which you could decide if it produced a strong or weak field and one for which you couldn t, and explain your answers.
