INORGANIC COMPLEXES. The cis-trans isomerization of a planar square form of a rt transition metal complex (e.g., of Pt " ) is known to be photochemically allowed and themrally forbidden [94]. It was found experimentally [95] to be an inhamolecular process, namely, to proceed without any bond-breaking step. Calculations show that the ground and the excited state touch along the reaction coordinate (see Fig. 12 in [96]). Although conical intersections were not mentioned in these papers, the present model appears to apply to these systems. 

In this experiment the method of continuous variations is used to determine the stoichiometry and equilibrium constant for the organic complex of 3-aminopyridine with picric acid in CHCI3, and the inorganic complex of Fe +with salicylic acid.

Heteropolyacids (HPA) are the unique class of inorganic complexes. They are widely used in different areas of science in biochemistry for the precipitation of albumens and alkaloids, in medicine as anticarcinogenic agents, in industry as catalysts. HPA are well known analytical reagents for determination of phosphoms, silica and arsenic, nitrogen-containing organic compounds, oxidants and reductants in solution etc. 

Ideally, to ensure the complete removal of the metal ions from the aqueous phase, the complexant and the metal complex should remain in the hydrophobic phase. Thus, the challenges for separations include the identification of extractants that quantitatively partition into the IL phase and can still readily complex target metal ions, and also the identification of conditions under which specific metal ion species can be selectively extracted from aqueous streams containing inorganic complexing ions.

Our selected data, rather limited in number, arise from the present status of the IAEA assessment of inorganic complexes of the actinides (12).

Considering the anion concentration ranges in natural waters (Table II) and the magnitude of the corresponding plutonium stability constants (Table III), the chemistry of plutonium, as well as that of uranium and neptunium, is almost entirely dominated by hydroxide and carbonate complexation, considering inorganic complexes only (41, 48, 49). ... 

The structure theory of inorganic chemistry may be said to have been bom only fifty years ago, when Werner, Nobel Laureate in Chemistry in 1913, found that the chemical composition and properties of complex inorganic substances could be explained by assuming that metal atoms often coordinate about themselves a number of atoms different from their valence, usually four atoms at the comers either of a tetrahedron or of a square coplanar with the central atom, or six atoms at the comers of an octahedron. His ideas about the geometry of inorganic complexes were completely verified twenty years later, through the application of the technique of x-ray diffraction. 

In addition to chemical reactions, the isokinetic relationship can be applied to various physical processes accompanied by enthalpy change. Correlations of this kind were found between enthalpies and entropies of solution (20, 83-92), vaporization (86, 91), sublimation (93, 94), desorption (95), and diffusion (96, 97) and between the two parameters characterizing the temperature dependence of thermochromic transitions (98). A kind of isokinetic relationship was claimed even for enthalpy and entropy of pure substances when relative values referred to those at 298° K are used (99). Enthalpies and entropies of intermolecular interaction were correlated for solutions, pure liquids, and crystals (6). Quite generally, for any temperature-dependent physical quantity, the activation parameters can be computed in a formal way, and correlations between them have been observed for dielectric absorption (100) and resistance of semiconductors (101-105) or fluidity (40, 106). On the other hand, the isokinetic relationship seems to hold in reactions of widely different kinds, starting from elementary processes in the gas phase (107) and including recombination reactions in the solid phase (108), polymerization reactions (109), and inorganic complex formation (110-112), up to such biochemical reactions as denaturation of proteins (113) and even such biological processes as hemolysis of erythrocytes (114). 

The general influence of covalency can be qualitatively explained in a very basic MO scheme. For example, we may consider the p-oxo Fe(III) dimers that are encountered in inorganic complexes and nonheme iron proteins, such as ribonucleotide reductase. In spite of a half-filled crystal-field model), the ferric high-spin ions show quadrupole splittings as large as 2.45 mm s < 0, 5 = 0.53 mm s 4.2-77 K) [61, 62]. This is explained... 

We shall now describe the chemistry of those inorganic complexes which are known to have anti-tumour activity in an effort to outline the permutations which such molecules permit and to indicate possible functional modes. We start from the basic observation of Rosenberg (1).Cis [PtCl2 (NH8)d is a very effective anti-tumour drug. Compounds related to it such as trans [PtCl2(NH3)2] are ineffective. Out of a wide range of transition metal complexes tested few have proved to be effective. The successful compounds have certain common features which can be used to circumscribe some of the factors which are probably required for such a drug.
