Ionic-iron compounds

One of the most serious difficulties with this approach appears when one looks at the shifts of the higher valence iron compounds. The shift found for Fe is somewhat less negative than predicted by the WWJ curves, but more dramatic is the large discrepancy between the (extrapolated) predicted and experimental shifts found for Fe The experimental value is considerably less negative than predicted 47). Danons curves 14) do not predict quite as negative a value for given pure configuration, and from that viewpoint they appear to be somewhat better. However, since Danon uses 32% 4s character for the most ionic ferric compounds, he would probably have to use as much, or more, 4s character for Fe , and this would make his predicted value at least as far off as that of WWJ. 

Aldol reactions of aldehydes with cycloakanones were performed in ionic liquids and catalyzed by FeCl3-6H20 [32]. Mukaiyama aldol reactions of silylenol ethers with aldehydes can be carried out in aqueous media however, among several Lewis acidic catalysts investigated, iron compounds were not the optimal ones [33], If silyl ketene acetals are applied as carbon nucleophiles in Mukaiyama aldol reactions, cationic Fe(II) complexes give good results. As catalysts, CpFe(CO)2Cl [34] and [CpFe(dppe) (acetone)] BF4 [35] [dppe = l,2-bis(diphenylphosphano)ethane] were applied (Scheme 8.8). No diastereomeric ratio was reported for product 26a. 

Iron of inorganic dissolved compounds (bicarbonates, sulfates, chlorides, fluosilicates, etc.) may enter into the dissolved form of iron of inorganic origin (Fcj"" ), but their existence is governed by an acid environment with a pH not higher than 3. As a rule the pH in sea water is close to 8 ( 0.5). Under these conditions iron compounds are easily hydrolyzed and converted into hydroxides, which form colloidal solutions in sea water. In appropriate conditions colloidal hydroxide condenses to clots of gel and converts to the suspended state. Therefore there are practically no ionic forms of iron (Fe "" proper). As early as 1937 Cooper (1937) concluded, on the basis of the solubility product and activity of ferrous and ferric iron ions and FeOH ions, that until equilibrium is reached sea water may contain about 10 jiig/1 of iron ions in true solution at pH = 8.5 the amount of ionic Fe in ferric form is still less—10 which corresponds to the extremely...

The compound Co(NO)3 is the only pure nitrosyl [i.e., M(NO) type] compound that is well established.46 Fe(NO)4 and Ru(NO)4 have been reported but their true structural natures have never been unambiguously established. For the iron compound an ionic structure, NO+[Fe(NO)3], has been suggested the anion is plausible, being isoelectronic with Co(NO)3. The rules of stoichiometry given above would lead one to propose that Cr(NO)4 might exist, isostructural and isoelectronic with Ni(CO)4, Co(CO)3NO and Fe(CO)2(NO)2, but there is no report of it as yet. 

In the binary ionic compounds considered earlier (Type I), the metal present forms only a single type of cation. That is, sodium forms only Na, calcium forms only Ca, and so on. However, as we will see in more detail later in the text, there are many metals that form more than one type of positive ion and thus form more than one type of ionic compound with a given anion. For example, the compound FeCl2 contains Fe ions, and the compound FeCl3 contains Fe ions. In a case such as this, the charge on the metal ion must be specified. The systematic names for these two iron compounds are iron(ll) chloride and iron(lll) chloride, respectively, where the Roman numeral indicates the charge of the cation. 

Shaping Metals Unlike ionic crystalline compounds, most metals are malleable. This property allows iron, for example, to be shaped into useful tools. 

Entrapment of the ionic iron-cobalt carbonyl compounds [(C2Hs)4N +-[FeCo3(CO)i2] (Low, 1990) in silica sol-gel, completely retains the structural features of the homogeneous complex. The entrapped cluster proved to be a stable and recyclable catalyst for quantitative transformation of norbomadiene selectively into dodecahydro-l,2,4 5,6,8-dimetheno-r-indecene ( binor-S ) (Scheme 24-3) (Blum, 2000).
