The solubility of silica can be characterized by the following equilibria at 25 C. Monosilicic acid has been written H2Si02(0H)2, rather than Si(OH) or H SiO in order to emphasize its diabasic character, and the tendency of silicon, like other metalloids, to coordinate with hydroxo and oxo ligands. 

In addition to the aquo, hydroxo, and oxo ligands discussed in the previous sections, most aqueous systems also contain counterions Introduced by dissolution of inorganic salts in water. These anions compete with aquo ligands for coordination to the metal centers and, in many cases, strongly affect the evolving particle morphology and stability as demonstrated many times by Matijevic [89-92]. (See, e.g.. Fig. 10.) Whether or not an anion. 

Up to this point, hydrolysis and condensation have been analyzed taking into account the role ofaquo, hydroxo and oxo ligands in the coordination sphere of the cation. However, some of these ligands can often be substituted by molecules or anions from the solution. The modification of the coordination sphere of the cation can strongly affect its behavior during condensation and precipitation. 

Bismuth compounds have been used for treating gastrointestinal disorders for more than two centuries (451). These include bicarbonate, nitrate and salicylate salts, and colloidal bismuth subcitrate. These are all Bi(III) compounds Bi(V) is usually a strong oxidant. Their structures are largely unknown and often contain a mixture of anionic ligands. This reflects the strong tendency of Bi(III) to hydrolyze and form stable hydroxo and oxo complexes. The first pKa of Bi(III) in water is ca. 1.5. Bismuth(III) has a variable coordination number, from 3 to 10. 

This year has also seen a variety of new clusters and aggregates bridged by oxo, hydroxo and nitrogen ligands. Of particular interest are a pair of apparent imido clusters. But unsupported terminal imido ligands remain the field s araba fenice ... 

Increased oxidation state favors conversion of an aquo ligand to a hydroxo ligand and conversion of hydroxo and oxo... 

It has been shown from PCM calculations that the nature of the counterion is of importance, since, at certain pH values, these counterions will become bound to the metal, affecting its reactivity. For example, tantalum oxide is stabilized in the presence of oxalate.196,197 The counterion can also compete for protons with the metal aqua species and thus affect whether the metal has bound aquo, hydroxo, or oxo ligands. 

In addition to the more commonly observed oxo, hydroxo, and halo ligands, there are polymetallic assemblies for which rather exotic ligands are present in the cluster core. For example, a tetranuclear yttrium-aluminum-methine cluster was obtained according to the scheme shown in Figure 37 (left) (Dietrich et al., 2006a). 

The precise nature of the complex depends on the charge, z, coordination number, N, and electronegativity, Xm> of the metal and the pH of the aqueous solution [8]. It is also necessary to consider the possible effects of ligand field stabilization which are most important for d and t/ ions [10]. The typical effects of charge and pH are shown schematically in Fig. I, where three domains corresponding to aquo, hydroxo, and oxo ions are defined [11,12]. This diagram explains in a qualitative manner why the hydrolysis of low-valent cations (z < 4) yields aquo, hydroxo, or aquo-hydroxo complexes... 

HF/STO-3G Amber - for R2met only). In all models the QM part consists of the two Fe centers and the first shell ligands of four formates, two imidazoles, and a few oxo, hydroxo, and/or aquo groups (see Figure 2-4).
