It is amphoteric it gives tin(II) salts with dilute acids and hydroxo stannates(II) with alkalis, for example ... 

Chromium(III) hydroxide dissolves in acids to form hydrated chromium(lll) salts in concentrated alkali, hydroxo-complexes [Cr(OH)g] are formed. 

It is readily dehydrated on warming, to give the black oxide CuO. It dissolves in excess of concentrated alkali to form blue hydroxo-cuprate(II) ions, of variable composition it is therefore slightly amphoteric. If aqueous ammonia is used to precipitate the hydroxide, the latter dissolves in excess ammonia to give the deep blue ammino complexes, for example [Cu(NH3)4(H20)2] ... 

Unlike cadmium and mercury and, in fact, all metals of Group II, zinc dissolves readily in alkalis forming zincates. in which the zinc atom is contained in a complex hydroxo-anion, for example ... 

The aquo-complex [ZnlHjOlg] and the tetrahedral [ZnCU] have already been mentioned. Numerous hydroxo-complexes, foi example [ZnfOH) ], [Zn(OH)4] have been described. Additior. of excess ammonia to an aqueous Zn(II) solution produces the tetraamminozinc cation [Zn(N 113)4]-. Hence zinc tends to form 4-coordinate, tetrahedral or (less commonly) 6-coordinate octahedral complexes. 

A major difficulty in an inorganic text is to strike a balance between a short readable book and a longer, more detailed text which can be used for reference purposes. In reaching what we hope is a reasonable compromise between these two extremes, we acknowledge that both the historical background and industrial processes have been treated very concisely. We must also say that we have not hesitated to simplify complicated reactions or other phenomena—thus, for example, the treatment of amphoterism as a pH-dependent sequence between a simple aquo-cation and a simple hydroxo-anion neglects the presence of more complicated species but enables the phenomena to be adequately understood at this level. 

Most metals will precipitate as the hydroxide in the presence of concentrated NaOH. Metals forming amphoteric hydroxides, however, remain soluble in concentrated NaOH due to the formation of higher-order hydroxo-complexes. For example, Zn and AP will not precipitate in concentrated NaOH due to the formation of Zn(OH)3 and Al(OH)4. The solubility of AP in concentrated NaOH is used to isolate aluminum from impure bauxite, an ore of AI2O3. The ore is powdered and placed in a solution of concentrated NaOH where the AI2O3 dissolves to form A1(0H)4T Other oxides that may be present in the ore, such as Fe203 and Si02, remain insoluble. After filtering, the filtrate is acidified to recover the aluminum as a precipitate of Al(OH)3. 

Binary Compounds. The mthenium fluorides are RuF [51621 -05-7] RuF [71500-16-8] tetrameric (RuF ) [14521 -18-7] (15), and RuF [13693-087-8]. The chlorides of mthenium are RUCI2 [13465-51-5] an insoluble RuCl [10049-08-8] which exists in an a- and p-form, mthenium trichloride ttihydrate [13815-94-6], RuCl3-3H2 0, and RuCl [13465-52-6]. Commercial RuCl3-3H2 0 has a variable composition, consisting of a mixture of chloro, 0x0, hydroxo, and often nitrosyl complexes. The overall mthenium oxidation state is closer to +4 than +3. It is a water-soluble source of mthenium, and is used widely as a starting material. Ruthenium forms bromides, RuBr2 [59201-36-4] and RuBr [14014-88-1], and an iodide, Rul [13896-65-6].

Beryllium salts rapidly hydrolyse in water to give a series of hydroxo complexes of undetermined structure the equilibria depend... 

The oxide (p. 1209), chalcogenides (p. 1210) and halides (p. 1211) have already been described. Of them, the only ionic compound is HgF2 but other compounds in which there is appreciable charge separation are the hydrated salts of strong oxoacids, e.g. the nitrate, perchlorate, and sulfate. In aqueous solution such salts are extensively hydrolysed (HgO is only very weakly basic) and they require acidification to prevent the formation of polynuclear hydroxo-bridged species or the precipitation of basic salts such as Hg(OH)(N03) which contains infinite zigzag chains ... 

This is probably too simple, hydroxo species such as [M04(0H)2] being more likely. 

In aqueous solution the An02" ions (An = Pa Am) may be formed, at least in the absence of strongly coordinating ligands. They are linear cations like An02 + but are less persistent and, indeed, it is probable that Pa02" should be formulated as [PaO(OH)2]" " and [PaO(OH)]. Hydrolysis is extensive in aqueous solutions of Pa and colloidal hydroxo species are formed which readily lead to precipitation of...

CHES is 2-(cyclohexylamino)ethanesulfonate, BES is 2- bis(2-hydroxoethyl)amino ethanesul-fonate, MOPSO is 2-hydroxo-4-morpholinepropanesulfonate. 

The only reports of directed synthesis of coordination complexes in ionic liquids are from oxo-exchange chemistry. Exposure of chloroaluminate ionic liquids to water results in the formation of a variety of aluminium oxo- and hydroxo-contain-ing species [4]. Dissolution of metals more oxophilic than aluminium will generate metal oxohalide species. FFussey et al. have used phosgene (COCI2) to deoxochlori-nate [NbOa5] - (Scheme 6.1-1) [5].
