Main Group Element Carborane Derivatives. Main group element carborane derivatives have been reviewed (231). Only a few alkaline-earth element metaHacarborane derivatives have been characterized. The icosahedral beryUacarborane, /(9j (9-3-[(CH3)3N]-3,l,2-BeC2B H, shown in Figure 24a, has been prepared via the reaction of nido-1 and Be(CH3)2 [0(C2H3)2]2 followed by reaction of the diethyletherate product and...

Aside from the results for the individual atoms, some trends in basis set performance may be observed. Pople basis sets produced results that were fairly accurate, especially for alkali and alkaline earth metals. Although the results are much less accurate for the p group elements, they are certainly within acceptable error for this simple approximation. The steady decrease in errors observed in the progression from the P3/6-31G to the P3/6-311++G(3df,3pd) level for nontransition elements also attests to the sound design of these basis sets.

Zintl phases remarks on their definition. We have seen that the Zintl phases may be considered as a group of compounds formed by an electropositive (cationic) component (alkali, alkaline earth metal, lanthanide) and an anionic component (for instance a main group element of moderate electronegativity). The anionic part of the structure may be described in terms of normal valence combination.

Experience suggests that d-type functions are required on second-row and heavier main-group elements even though they are not occupied in the free atoms (discussion is provided in Section II). This situation is very much like that found for alkali and alkaline-earth elements where p-type functions, while not occupied in the ground-state atoms, are required for proper description of bonding in molecules. Here, the absence of p functions leads to descriptions... 

Examples of these forms of ions are to be found in the chemistry of the transition elements and the main group elements that can exist in higher oxidation states. As may be inferred from equations (3.26) and (3.27), alkaline conditions encourage hydrolysis, so that the form an ion takes depends on the pH of the solution. Highly acid conditions tend to depress the tendency of an ion to undergo hydrolysis. Table 3.7 contains some examples of ions of different form, the form depending upon the oxidation state of the central element, vanadium. 

RADIUM. [CAS 7440-14-41, Chemical element symbol Ra, at. no. 88, at. wt. 226.025, periodic table group 2 (alkaline earths), mp 700VC, bp 1,140°C, density 5 g/cm3 (20°C). Radium metal is white, rapidly oxidized in air, decomposes H O, and evolves heat continuously at the rate of approximately 0.132 calorie per hour per mg when the decomposition products are retained, and the temperature of radium salts remains about 1,5°C above the surrounding environment. Radium is formed by radioactive transformation of uranium, about 3 million parts of uranium being accompanied in nature by 1 part radium. Radium spontaneously generates radon gas at approximately the rate of 100 mmJ per day per gram of radium, at standard conditions, Radium usually is handled as the chloride or bromide, either as solid or in solution. The radioactivity of the material... 

For carbides and nitrides containing more than one transition metal, or a transition metal and another element, the compositions and structures are more varied and complex. Plate 1.3 shows examples where the secondary component is a metal or main group element. Figure 1.2 shows examples where one of the secondary components is an alkali or alkaline earth... 

Starting with nitrides of the alkaline and alkaline earth group elements no elemental boron is formed and the c-BN produced is yellow and transparent. Both the quality and the yield of c-BN are increased. 

The presence of radium in biological materials or environmental samples is generally determined by virtue of its radioactivity. Except in the laboratory where radium compounds have been isolated and determined for a certain purpose, determination of radium compounds in biological and environmental samples is relatively rare. As a Group IIA alkaline earth element, radium is similar in its chemical behavior to other members of that group, especially its nearest neighbor, barium. For example, radium tends to precipitate as the sulfate, which is the basis for its isolation for chemical analysis by coprecipitation with barium sulfate. Furthermore, radium associates with calcium in living systems and accumulates in bone. The determination of radium compounds or specific isotopes is usually accomplished by a separation procedure, followed by quantitative analysis of total radium based on its radioactivity. 

While not strictly metal xanthates, it is apposite to summarize the structural features of the alkali and alkaline metal xanthates, and other salts for at least one crucial reason. On the basis of these structural studies, it will be demonstrated that there is no inherent chemical reason associated with the nature of the xanthate anion that explains the fascinating structural diversity observed for closely related metal xanthate structures to be described in this chapter, particularly for the main group element species.
