Metal carboxylates complex salts

Metals, especially copper compounds (Wiley and Smith, 1963), are usually required and such reactions proceed via the intermediates composed of metal carboxylate complexes. Alkylcarboxylic acids and their salts, however, do not always undergo decarboxylation readily (March, 1985). 

Metal carboxylates are salts of carboxylic acids (R—COOH), where R is an alkyl group. In complex oxide systems, carboxylates are usually used as a source of cations with a low valence number, whose metal alkoxides are not viable (e.g., Ba ", Ca ", and Na ). Carboxylates can be dissolved in their corresponding carboxylic acid. Short alkyl chain carboxylates have a strong polar nature, and thus they can be dissolved in polar solvents such as water or...

Abstract In this chapter, the depression mechanism of five kinds of depressants is introduced respectively. The principle of depression by hydroxyl ion and hydrosulphide is explained which regulates the pH to make the given mineral float or not. And so the critical pH for certain minerals is determined. Thereafter, the depression by cyanide and hydrogen peroxide is narrated respectively which are that for cyanide the formation of metal cyanide complex results in depression of minerals while for hydrogen peroxide the decomposition of xanthate salts gives rise to the inhibitation of flotation. Lastly, the depression by the thio-organic such as polyhydroxyl and poly carboxylic xanthate is accounted for in detail including die flotation behavior, effect of pulp potential, adsorption mechanism and structure-property relation. 

The transition metal-catalyzed cyclopropanation of alkenes is one of the most efficient methods for the preparation of cyclopropanes. In 1959 Dull and Abend reported [617] their finding that treatment of ketene diethylacetal with diazomethane in the presence of catalytic amounts of copper(I) bromide leads to the formation of cyclopropanone diethylacetal. The same year Wittig described the cyclopropanation of cyclohexene with diazomethane and zinc(II) iodide [494]. Since then many variations and improvements of this reaction have been reported. Today a large number of transition metal complexes are known which react with diazoalkanes or other carbene precursors to yield intermediates capable of cyclopropanating olefins (Figure 3.32). However, from the commonly used catalysts of this type (rhodium(II) or palladium(II) carboxylates, copper salts) no carbene complexes have yet been identified spectroscopically. 

Complexation of metal ions by hydroxamic acids is the starting point of a number of analytical determinations . All hydroxamic acids, in acid solutions, react with ferric chloride to give rust brown complex salts 89 (Scheme 47). These colored complexes form the basis for the sensitive qualitative and quantitative determination of carboxylic acids and their derivatives too. 

Mono- or poly-carboxylated anions always gives rise to complex salts with the metal cations, which are insoluble in the reaction medium, or can be made insoluble by addition of appropriate cosolvents, making the isolation procedure more easy. 

While acetates and other lower carboxylate complexes are prepared from the acids or alkali metal salts, for formates a different synthesis is the insertion reaction of C02 into M—H bonds, for example,... 

Carboxylate complexes are often synthesized by refluxing the acid with the metal salts (such as carbonate, sulfate, oxide, etc.), or by reaction of the sodium or silver salt of the acid with the metal halide. Insertion of CO2 into a-bonded organotransition metal species has also been used to generate carboxylate complexes, as has exchange reactions with metal alkoxides (see Section 3.3). 

It is assumed that the best catalytic effect can be achieved if the pA a or pA), value of the interphase material is close to 7 [71]. Some weak ion-exchange groups such as tertiary amines, phosphoric acid, carboxylic acids, or pyridine show the required dissociation constant or p ta-values. Certain heavy metal ion complexes, such as chromium(lll)- or iron(Ill)-complexes, provide the required catalytic water dissociation effect. In principle, there are many more suitable metal ions available. The metal ions or complexes are immobilized by either including an insoluble salt in the casting solution of the interface layer between the ion permeable layers or by converting a soluble form by a follow-up treatment [45]. An additional requirement for the catalytic material is to be effective and stable for a long period. It must also remain in the interphase, where it is the most active, for the anticipated lifetime of the membrane.

A considerable amount of research has been concerned with the nature of the electrophiles that are involved in Friedel-Crafts acylation reactions. We will summarize the main points. Acyl halides and carboxylic acid anhydrides have been known, for many years, to form stable complexes with a variety of acid catalysts. A well-defined product is formed between acetyl fluoride and boron trifluoride at low temperatures. Analytical and conductivity data characterized the material as acetylium tetrafluoroborate, and this was further confirmed by IR measurements. In the system acetyl chloride-aluminum chloride the acetylium ion can be differentiated from the donor-acceptor complex involving the carbonyl group by means of their IR carbonyl stetching frequencies. A number of other acyl fluorides have been shown to form well-defined acylium salts by interaction with a number of metal fluorides. Acylium salts can also be prepared from acyl chlorides by means of metathetical reactions involving anhydrous salts such as silver hexafluoroantimonate. As well as characterization by means of IR spectroscopy, acylium salts have been studied in non-nucleophilic solvents by NMR spectroscopy. The NMR data for the ben-... 

Approximate axial g-tensors are frequently observed for transition metal ion complexes. Inorganic radicals can also have appreciable axial g-anisotropy. This property is of value for the assignment of ESR powder spectra in applied studies. Carbon dioxide radical anions, CO2, and related species contribute for instance to the ESR signal used for geological dating [21] see Chapter 9. The ESR spectrum of this anion has also been employed as an indicator that a certain foodstuff has been irradiated, for dosimetric purposes in certain carboxylic acid salts, and as a component in tooth enamel samples used in retrospective dosimetry. 

This section contains metal-organic compounds, ammonium and metal derivatives of organic alcohols, amines and carboxylic acids (salts), as well as ionophores that form complexes with metal ions. Note that there is a large number of metal-organic catalysts, and reagents for preparing some of these catalysts, in Chapter 6, and can be considered as an extension of this section. (For Introduction see p 555.)...
