The catalyst component consists of halides of IV-VIII group elements having transition valence and the cocatalysts are organometallic compounds like alkyls, aryls and hydrides of group I-IV metals. Although there are hundreds of such catalyst cocatalyst systems listed in table below. Systems based on the organoaluminium compounds such as triethyl aluminium (AlEt3) or diethyl aluminium chloride... 

Now we can work out the formula of an ionic compound formed between the monatomic ions of two main-group elements, one a metal and the other a nonmetal. Unless a lower oxidation number is specified (as for the p-block metals), the metal atom loses all its valence electrons, and the nonmetal atom gains enough electrons to complete its valence shell. Then we adjust the numbers of cations and anions so that the resulting compound is electrically neutral. A simple example is calcium chloride. The calcium atoms ([Ar]4s2) each lose two electrons, to form... 

For the lighter elements, which are more basic, protonation/deprotona-tion may take place at the main group element [Eqs. (251) and (252)].235 279 The H atoms attached to phosphorus in Fe3(CO)9 PH 2 and [Fe3(CO)9(PH) (PMe)] are displaced by chloride when the compound is treated with CC14.279... 

Main group element derivatives containing three or four ferrocenyl thiolate ligands are accessible from the corresponding element chlorides and Fc-SLi. Thus, the reaction of PCI3 with a suspension of 3 equivalents Fc-SLi in toluene — THF (3 1) leads to tris(ferrocenyl thiolato) phosphine, P(SFc)3 the oxide and sulfide, P(0)(SFc)3 and P(S)(SFc)3, are formed as side-products in addition to Fc-SS-Fc. The corresponding tris (ferrocenyl thiolato) element compounds As(SFc)3 and Sb(SFc)3 are also known the antimony derivative decomposes under the influence of either air or light [235].

Taking into account, that the collateral product of ML reactions with the use of element chlorides is the hydrogen chloride, stability of groups (=Si-0-)mE0nCln-m for this effect as well as influence of HCl concentration in the gas phase on processing of modifying reactions were investigated [38,40,51]. 

Literature presents numerous data on the syntheses by ML method of oxide layers of titanium, aluminum, chromium, phosphorus, tantalum and series of other elements on silica and alumina surfaces, when appropriate chloride and vapour of water are used as initial reagents [13,35,18,42]. The synthesis thus proceeds without the change of oxidation state of elements. But the stability of Si-O-M bonds in the process of gaseous treatment of element-chloride surface structures is of significant importance. Our researches have shown [44,68], that the strength of Si-O-M bonds is influenced by the thermal stability of element-oxide chloride groups, quantity of their bonds with surfaces (factor m) and series other ones. The reason for the destruction is the hydrogen chloride which educes in the process of vapour hydrolysis [68]. 

Other inorganic reagents utilized in spectrophotometric methods are hydrogen peroxide (see determination of Ti, V, U, and Ce), SnCU ion (determination of platinum group elements [136]), iodide (see determination of Sb, Bi, and Pd), bromide (determination of Au), and also chloride and azide. 

Metallurgy. — The metals of most of the cerium group elements have been prepared, three general methods having been used t (1) fusion of the anhydrous halides with sodium, potassium, calcium, or aluminium (2) electrolysis of the fused chlorides or of a solution of the oxide in the molten fluoride (3) heating the oxides with magnesium, calcium, or silicon. Reduction with aluminium has also been tried, but it is not satisfactory except possibly for cerium itself. Electrolysis has been the most successful, the other methods usually giving at best an alloy.
