Manganese reactivity

The above sections of this chapter have shown the high variability of iron-inpnt modes, flnxes and reactivity towards oxidized and reduced species in marine sediments. Within this section the importance of iron and manganese reactivity with respect to the mineralization of organic matter as well as to the chemical oxidation (reduction) of reduced (oxidized) species within different depositional enviromnents will be discussed and hopefully inspire further considerations. 

A conceptual model describing the importance of iron and manganese reactivity in different environments is only sketchy as results are scarce and manifold aspects deserve further investigations. A general complication concerns the differentiation of dissimilatory and chemical reduction of Mn-oxide when concurrent iron reduction is apparent and further investigations need to discriminate each reaction pathway. The reactivity of smectite-bound iron has only been shown qualitatively (Kostka et al. 1996 Konig et al. 1997), yet quantifications with respect to dissimilatory and/or chemical reactions are missing. An important role of adsorbed Fe + /...

Diphenylmethane Base Method. In this method, the central carbon atom is derived from formaldehyde, which condenses with two moles of an arylamine to give a substituted diphenylmethane derivative. The methane base is oxidized with lead dioxide or manganese dioxide to the benzhydrol derivative. The reactive hydrols condense fairly easily with arylamines, sulfonated arylamines, and sulfonated naphthalenes. The resulting leuco base is oxidized in the presence of acid (Fig. 4). 

The metals that are produced by electrolysis (81) are included in Table 1. Fused salt processes are used when the reactivity of the metal does not allow electrowinning from aqueous solutions. Manganese is the most reactive metal that is produced by electrolysis of an aqueous solution. 

Nickel peroxide is a solid, insoluble oxidant prepared by reaction of nickel (II) salts with hypochlorite or ozone in aqueous alkaline solution. This reagent when used in nonpolar medium is similar to, but more reactive than, activated manganese dioxide in selectively oxidizing allylic or acetylenic alcohols. It also reacts rapidly with amines, phenols, hydrazones and sulfides so that selective oxidation of allylic alcohols in the presence of these functionalities may not be possible. In basic media the oxidizing power of nickel peroxide is increased and saturated primary alcohols can be oxidized directly to carboxylic acids. In the presence of ammonia at —20°, primary allylic alcohols give amides while at elevated temperatures nitriles are formed. At elevated temperatures efficient cleavage of a-glycols, a-ketols... 

Within group (i), square-planar EtPt(CO)(AsPh3)Cl inserts more rapidly than six-coordinate EtIr(CO)2(AsPh3)Cl2. In THE at 40°C, the relative k s are 9 and 1. Comparison of group (ii) alkyl carbonyls reveals the order MeMn(CO)5 > CpMo(CO)3Me > CpFe(CO)2Me. The ratios of the k s are 23 I and 100 1, respectively, in THF at 25° and 50.7°C. The higher reactivity of manganese than of molybdenum is a consequence of the relative entropies, whereas the lowest reactivity of iron is caused by its Jff (Table III). 

It has been pointed out that metals residing below the position held by manganese (and, therefore, much below hydrogen) in the electrochemical series (Table 6.11) cannot be electrodeposited from aqueous solutions of their salts. These metals are called base metals or reactive metals and can be electrodeposited only from nonaqueous electrolytes such as solutions in organic solvents and molten salts. As with an aqueous electrolyte, there is a minimum voltage which is required to bring about the electrolysis of a molten salt. 

Mn. Manganese is also effective for mediating aqueous carbonyl ally-lations and pinacol-coupling reactions. Manganese offers a higher reactivity and complete chemoselectivity toward allylation of aromatic aldehydes.178...
