Hydride boiling points

Figure 2.5 shows the boiling points of the hydrides in elements of Groups IV. V, VI and VII. Clearly there is an attractive force between the molecules of the hydrides of fluorine, oxygen and nitrogen... 

Toluene is commonly used. It can be dried by molecular sieves or direct distillation from calcium hydride into the reaction flask. Solvent stored over calcium hydride for several days is usually sufficiently dry to decant directly into the reaction flask, but distillation gives more consistent results. Any solvent with a boiling point sufficiently high to melt sodium is satisfactory. The submitters have also used methyl-cyclohexane and xylene in acyloin condensations. After the sodium is dispersed, the high-boiling solvent can be removed and replaced with anhydrous ether (as noted by the submitters) or can be retained and used in combination with ether (checkers). 

Ethyl-2-methyl-3-(10,11) -dihydro-5H-dibenzo [a,d] cycloheptene-5-ylidene)-1 -pyrrolinium iodide (4.7 g) was dissolved in 7 cc of methanol. To this solution there were added 1.4 g of sodium boron hydride within about 80 minutes with stirring and stirring of the solution was continued for two hours to complete the reaction. The reaction mixture was acidified with 10% aqueous hydrochloric acid solution and then the methanol was distilled off. The residual solution was alkalized with 20% aqueous sodium hydroxide solution and extracted with ether. The ether layer was dried over magnesium sulfate and the ether was distilled off. The resulting residue was further distilled under reduced pressure to yield 2.0 g of 1-ethyl-2-methyl-3-(10,11 ) dihydro-5H-dibenzo[a,d]cycloheptene-5-ylidene)pyrrolidine (boiling point 167°C/4 mm Hg.). 

The mixture is cooled and the excess of lithium aluminum hydride is decomposed with cracked ice. The water layer is separated and washed with diethyl ether. The combined ether extracts are dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and the solvent is removed by distillation under reduced pressure. Yield, 8.8 g boiling point, 160°C to 165°C/0.1 mm Hg.

FIGURE 5.8 The boiling points of most of the molecular hydrides of the p-block elements show a smooth increase with molar mass in each group. However, three compounds—ammonia, water, and hydrogen fluoride are strikingly out of line. 

Water shows properties that are interestingly different compared with hydrides of the neighbouring elements of the first row of the periodic table. Some of these properties are given in Table 3.2. From this table, water can be seen to have a very high melting point and a very high boiling point for its relative molar mass. Indeed, it is the only one of the hydrides of the...

Boron and hydrogen form many compounds and they exhibit unusual structural forms. Several of the boranes are listed in Table 13.2. Covalent hydrides are generally compounds that have low boiling points. Consequently, they are often referred to as volatile hydrides. 

The anomalously high boiling points of the hydrides NH3, H20 and HF, compared with the other hydrides in groups 5, 6 and 7, are explained... 

Chromatographic methods have been applied with hydridization. Jackson et al. [98] used a commercial purge and trap apparatus fitted to a packed gas chromatographic column and flame photometric detector to achieve a O.lng detection. Purge and trap procedures followed by boiling point separations and detection by spectrophotometric methods yield detection limits in water of between 0.01 and lng. Detection of SnH emission by flame emission gives the greatest sensitivity. 

You can see the effect of hydrogen bonding clearly in the boiling point data of the binary hydrides of Groups 14 to 17 (IVA to VIIA), shown in Figure 4.16. In Group 14, the trend in boiling point is as expected.

The boiling points of four groups of hydrides. The break in the trends for NH3, H2O, and HF is due to hydrogen bonding. The dashed line shows the likely boiling point of water, if no hydrogen bonding were present. 

Solubilities of the most frequently used hydrides and complex hydrides in most often used solvents are listed in Table 3. In choosing the solvent it is necessary to consider not only the solubility of the reactants but also the boiling points in case the reduction requires heating. 

Chlorides of sulfonic acids can be reduced either partially to sulfinic acids, or completely to thiols. Both reductions are accomplished in high yields with lithium aluminum hydride. An inverse addition technique at a temperature of —20° is used for the preparation of sulfinic acids, while the preparation of thiols is carried out at the boiling point of ether [69S].
