It is interesting to note, as pointed out to me by Mr. J. L. Hoard, that these considerations lead to an explanation of the stability of trivalent cobalt in electron-pair bond complexes as compared to ionic compounds. The formation of complexes does not change the equilibrium between bivalent and trivalent iron very much, as is seen from the electrode potentials, while a great change is produced in the equilibrium between bivalent and trivalent cobalt. 

Two factors combine to lend a greater diversity in the stereochemistries exhibited by bivalent germanium, tin and lead compounds, the increased radius of Mn compared with that of Mw and the presence of a non-bonding pair of electrons. When the non-bonding pair of electrons occupies the isotropic valence level s orbital, as in, for example, the complex cations Pb[SC(NH2)2]6+ and Pb[antipyrine]6+, or when they are donated to conductance band levels, as in the binary tin and lead selenides or tellurides or the perovskite ternary phases CsMX3 (M = Sn, Pb X = Cl, Br, I), then the metal coordination is regular. However, in the majority of compounds an apparent vacancy in the coordination sphere of the metal is observed, which is usually ascribed to the presence of the non-bonding pair of electrons in a hybrid orbital and cited as evidence for a stereochemically active lone pair . 

EDTA yields complexes with a ratio of 1 1 with many metals. Better known among these complexes are those of bivalent cations which lead to hexacoor-dinated ligands bound through the four acid functions and the two nitrogen atoms. The chelated ions pass more easily to the atomic state in the flame since their volatility is increased. 

A reaction sequence analogous to that in Eq. 4.40 can also be developed for the specific adsorption of bivalent metal cations (e.g., Cu2+, Mn2 or Pb2+) by metal oxyhydroxides.21 In this application the abstract scenario in the first row of Table 4.3 is realized with A = =Al-OH, B = M2+, C = =Al-OH - - M2+, D = = Al-OM+, and E = H where M is the metal complexed by an OH group on the surface of an aluminum oxyhydroxide. Analysis of pressure-pulse relaxation kinetics data leads to a calculation of the second-order rate coefficient kf, under the assumption that the first step in the sequence in Eq. 4.40 is rate determining. Like k(l, the rate coefficient for the dissolution of a metal-containing solid (Section 3.1 cf. Fig. 3.4), measured values of k, correlate positively in a log log plot with kw,. , the rate coefficient for water exchange on the metal... 

With a copper electrode, the equilibrium is greatly in favor of the cupric ions and so a copper anode normally dissolves virtually completely in the higher valence (cupric) state, i.e., as a bivalent metal. In a cyanide solution, however, cuprous ions are removed as complex cupro-cyanide ions a copper anode then dissolves as a univalent element. Anodes of iron, lead and tin almost invariably dissolve in the lower valence state. 

Bivalent lead oxide, litharge (PbO), is among the oldest PVC stabilizers and its properties include its basicity, its complexing properties and its extremely fine particle size, which facilitates incorporation. The improvements in lead stabilizers over the years can be viewed as improvements on the basic characteristics of litharge, with the yellow colour, of course, being one of the apparent disadvantages, but the greatest deterrent to the use of lead stabilizers is their acute and cumulative toxicity. 

Lead forms two series of basic salts, frequently formulated as Pb(OH)X and PbX2 2Pb(OH)2. Weinland and coworkers showed, by measurements of electrical conductivity, that, in solutions of salts of both series, a bivalent cation [(18) and (19), respectively3 was present. It is thus possible that, in the cationic complexes formed from a polyhydroxy compound and basic lead acetate, a diol grouping of the former co-ordinates...
