Most of these oxides are unstable, and even at ordinary temperatures, some of them decompose with explosive violence. For the most part, they are very strong oxidizing agents. Of the four halogens, fluorine and bromine show but little tendency to combine with oxygen in fact, all the known oxides of these elements have been discovered since about 1930. 

Schlosser investigated the use of halogens (fluorine and chlorine) as DMGs in the benzenoid portion of indole rings [351, 352]. This chemistry was used to introduce halogens at all possible positions C4 through C7. 

Elements in any given group in the periodic table have the same type of electron arrangements in their outermost shells. For example, the electron configurations of the halogens fluorine and chlorine are [He]2s 2p and [Ne]3s 3p, respectively. The outer-shell electrons are those that he outside the orbitals occupied in the next lowest noble-gas element. The outer-shell electrons that are involved in chemical bonding are the valence electrons of an atom for the elements with atomic number 30 or less, all the outer-shell electrons are valence electrons. The electrons that are not valence electrons are called cors electrons. 

The substitution of the halogen (fluorine and chlorine) also occurs very easily in arene cyclopentadienyl iron complexes. 

Halogens. Fluorine and chlorine should be stored in special containers fluorine may be safely stored in nickel or Monel cylinders. Impurities or moisture in the cylinder may cause an explosive reaction chlorine, a serious inhalation hazard, should be stored in areas where ventilation is a prime consideration. Where chlorine leakage is suspected, use a self-contained breathing apparatus fluorine requires protection of the self-contained breathing apparatus and special protective clothing.

Concerning the elemental halogens, fluorine and chlorine are only slightly electrophilic if at all, but are very reactive, and so they do not form non-covalent adducts in the sense mentioned in the Sect. 2.2. The same is true, to a lesser extent, for elemental bromine. Although it is known, for instance, from the side-on complexes of bromine with benzene derivatives that bromine may act as a halogen-bond donor [82-85], these kinds of adducts are typically of a pre-reactive nature and lead to bromination of the substrates by Br-Br bond cleavage (see also Scheme 4) [82]. 

The most widely used reactions are those of electrophilic substitution, and under controlled conditions a maximum of three substituting groups, e.g. -NO2 (in the 1,3,5 positions) can be introduced by a nitric acid/sul-phuric acid mixture. Hot cone, sulphuric acid gives sulphonalion whilst halogens and a Lewis acid catalyst allow, e.g., chlorination or brom-ination. Other methods are required for introducing fluorine and iodine atoms. Benzene undergoes the Friedel-Crafts reaction. ... 

A complete set of trihalides for arsenic, antimony and bismuth can be prepared by the direct combination of the elements although other methods of preparation can sometimes be used. The vigour of the direct combination reaction for a given metal decreases from fluorine to iodine (except in the case of bismuth which does not react readily with fluorine) and for a given halogen, from arsenic to bismuth. 

The enthalpies for the reactions of chlorine and fluorine are shown graphically in Figure 11.2 as the relevant parts of a Born-Haber cycle. Also included on the graph are the hydration energies of the two halogen ions and hence the enthalpy changes involved in the reactions... 

Water reacts violently with aH halogen fluorides. The hydrolysis process can be moderate by cooling or dilution. In addition to HF, the products may include oxygen, free halogens (except for fluorine), and oxyhalogen acids. 

Sihcon hahdes can be easily prepared by the reaction of sihcon or sihcon alloys and the respective halogens (24). Fluorine and sihcon react at room temperature to produce sihcon tetrafluoride. Chlorine reacts with sihcon exothermahy, but the mixture must be heated to several hundred degrees centigrade to initiate the reaction (25). Bromine and iodine react with sihcon at red heat. 

Nitrogen and sodium do not react at any temperature under ordinary circumstances, but are reported to form the nitride or azide under the influence of an electric discharge (14,35). Sodium siHcide, NaSi, has been synthesized from the elements (36,37). When heated together, sodium and phosphoms form sodium phosphide, but in the presence of air with ignition sodium phosphate is formed. Sulfur, selenium, and tellurium form the sulfide, selenide, and teUuride, respectively. In vapor phase, sodium forms haHdes with all halogens (14). At room temperature, chlorine and bromine react rapidly with thin films of sodium (38), whereas fluorine and sodium ignite. Molten sodium ignites in chlorine and bums to sodium chloride (see Sodium COMPOUNDS, SODIUM HALIDES). 

Fluorinated and iodinated derivatives are usually prepared by halogen exchange reactions, although the Baltz-Schiemann reaction has been applied to the synthesis of 2-fluoroquin-oxaline (66JHC435>.
