This method was then successfully applied to the constmction of even taller discrete stacks. A series of elongated pillar ligands were designed and combined with different ratios of the panel ligands, metal ions, and pyrene guests to give the octuple and the nonuple stacks 9 and 10, respectively, in almost quantitative yields. The X-ray crystal stmcture of 9 conhrmed the 2.4 nm tall cylindrical stack of aromahc molecules and the even larger 10 was calculated to be 2.7 nm tall (Fig. 4.7b, c) [18]. 

Correct choice of ligands, metal ions, and conditions is essential for assembly of these capsules [4,6]. Two kinds of ligands (ie, one-dimensional and two-dimensional ligands) can be used for assembly of metal-ligand self-assembled capsules [7]. 

Polymerizations and copolymerizations of various coordinative-type monomers were intensively investigated in solution or the bulk [4]. A great influence on the kind of ligand, metal ion and also solvent on the probability of the polymerization under radicalic initiation was found. Due to side reactions often the polymer yield of the coordinative-type monomers are lower compared to the polymer yield of the free monomer ligand (Figure 8) [196]. 

Table 3.1 summarises the influence of the diamine ligands on the equilibrium constant for binding of 3.8c to the ligand-metal ion complex (K ) and the second-order rate constant for reaction of the ternary complex (ICjat) (Scheme 3.5) with diene 3.9. 

It turned out that the dodecylsulfate surfactants Co(DS)i Ni(DS)2, Cu(DS)2 and Zn(DS)2 containing catalytically active counterions are extremely potent catalysts for the Diels-Alder reaction between 5.1 and 5.2 (see Scheme 5.1). The physical properties of these micelles have been described in the literature and a small number of catalytic studies have been reported. The influence of Cu(DS)2 micelles on the kinetics of quenching of a photoexcited species has been investigated. Interestingly, Kobayashi recently employed surfactants in scandium triflate catalysed aldol reactions". Robinson et al. have demonshuted that the interaction between metal ions and ligand at the surface of dodecylsulfate micelles can be extremely efficient. ... 

The equilibrium constant for a reaction in which a metal—ligand complex dissociates to form uncomplexed metal ion and ligand (Kd). 

Adsorption of Metal Ions and Ligands. The sohd—solution interface is of greatest importance in regulating the concentration of aquatic solutes and pollutants. Suspended inorganic and organic particles and biomass, sediments, soils, and minerals, eg, in aquifers and infiltration systems, act as adsorbents. The reactions occurring at interfaces can be described with the help of surface-chemical theories (surface complex formation) (25). The adsorption of polar substances, eg, metal cations, M, anions. A, and weak acids, HA, on hydrous oxide, clay, or organically coated surfaces may be described in terms of surface-coordination reactions ... 

With the help of equiUbrium constants, the extent of adsorption can be predicted as a function of pH and solution variables (7,25,43). Based on this model, the partitioning of metal ions and of ligands (organic and inorganic anions between water and pelagic clays and suspended particles) can be explained. 

Attempts have been made to categorize the interactions between metal ions and ligands. Whereas all metal ions interact more strongly with fluoride than with chloride in the gas phase, in aqueous solution a number of exceptions occur. Metal ions that have the normal (class a) aqueous solution stabiUty order of F Cl > Br > I also have N P > As > Sb and 0 S > Se > Te donor stabiUty order (13). The inverse (class b) aqueous solution stabiUty...

However, there is an important difference between these two systems in the ligand-metal ion ratio in complexation. Namely, micellar reactions require a more generalized reaction Scheme 3, where the molarity of ligand n is either 1 or 2 depending upon the structure of the ligands. This scheme gives rates Eq. 2-4 for n = 1 and Eq. 3, 5, 6 for n = 2. The results of the kinetic analysis are shown in Table 3. 

Figure 5a indicates the effect of the CTAB concentration on the rate constants of the complexes of 38b and 38c. In the case of the water soluble 38b ligand, the rate increases with increasing CTAB concentration up to a saturation level. This type of saturation kinetics is usually interpreted to show the incorporation of a ligand-metal ion complex into a micellar phase from a bulk aqueous phase, and the catalytic activity of the complex is higher in the micellar phase than in the aqueous phase. In the case of lipophilic 38c, a very similar curve as in Fig. 4 is obtained. At a first glance, there appears to be a big difference between these two curves. However, they are rather common in micellar reactions and obey the same reaction mechanism 27). 

Another features of the ligand lipophilicity and the- stability of the complex on the rates are shown in Fig. 6 Rate saturation corresponds to the formation of a 1 1 or 2 1 ligand-metal ion complex. Non-micellar reactions of curves b and c indicate that the N-butyl ligand 38b forms a more active complex than N-methyl ligand 38a does. It may be interesting to note that in the micellar reaction of 38b, a flat... 

Here the ligand (L) can be either a neutral molecule or a charged ion, and successive replacement of water molecules by other ligand groups can occur until the complex ML, is formed n is the coordination number of the metal ion and represents the maximum number of monodentate ligands that can be bound to it.
