The application of ammonium molybdophosphate and other unsoluble in water salts of heteropolyacids for preconcentration of heavy metals of first group elements Cs(I), Ag(I), Cu(I) and also T1(I), Hg(I) (M(I)) is described. The shortcomings of ammonium molybdophosphate as ionexchanger are ... 

The liquid-liquid extraction (solvent extraction) process was developed about 50 years ago and has found wide application in the hydrometallurgy of rare refractory and rare earth metals. Liquid-liquid extraction is used successfully for the separation of problematic pairs of metals such as niobium and tantalum, zirconium and hafnium, cobalt and nickel etc. Moreover, liquid-liquid extraction is the only method available for the separation of rare earth group elements to obtain individual metals. 

The general structure of this chapter is the same as that of Chapter 14. We work systematically across the remainder of the main-group elements to highlight periodic trends, the production of the elements, and the properties and applications of the elements and their important compounds. 

Chapters 8 and 9 are devoted to a discussion of applications of the VSEPR and LCP models, the analysis of electron density distributions to the understanding of the bonding and geometry of molecules of the main group elements, and on the relationship of these models and theories to orbital models. Chapter 8 deals with molecules of the elements of period 2 and Chapter 9 with the molecules of the main group elements of period 3 and beyond. 

In the chemistry of main-group element sulfoxide complexes, a relationship between Aj/(S=0) and the enthalpy of formation of the sulfoxide complex has been derived (159). The applicability of the equation has only been examined for O-l SO complexes, and the constraints on using Ai (S=0) as a measure of metal-ligand bond strength should be borne in mind during its application.

The oxidative carbonylation of amines to give ureas is at present one of the most attractive ways for synthesizing this very important class of carbonyl compounds via a phosgene-free approach. Ureas find extensive application as agrochemicals, dyes, antioxidants, resin precursors, synthetic intermediates (also for the production of carbamates and isocyanates), and HIV-inhibitors. Many transition metals (incuding Au [244], Co [248,253-255], Cu [242], Mn [249,256-258], Ni [259], Rh [246,247,260-262], Ru [224,260,263] and especially Pd [219,225,226,264-276], and, more recently, W [277-283]) as well as main-group elements (such as sulfur [284-286] and selenium [287— 292]) have been reported to promote the oxidative carbonylation of amines, usually under catalytic conditions. In some cases, carbamates and/or oxamides are formed as byproducts, thus lowering the selectivity of the process. 

The relationship vifvz remains approximately constant when ions of the same period and the same charge are compared (the ratio for CrO is about the same as for MnOl ). The application of these rules gives the proper assignment for other species such as Cr04 and CoOl (40, 41), and the position of the vi(Ai) vibration for MoSel is verified (42). The applicabihty of these rules to chalcogenoanions of the main group elements has also been demonstrated (43). 

The binary representation is applicable to various other oxide materials. However, an important distinction can be made between borates and other main group element oxide systems, such as aluminates and silicates. In the latter systems cations predominantly reside at sites created by the demands of rigid anionic oxide frameworks. Although some degree of structural control may be obtained by varying cations or by use of template synthesis, the oxide frameworks of these systems tend to be relatively inflexible in comparison with...
