Metal complexes cerium salts

With this end in view, phenyldimcthylsilyl tri-n-butylstannane was added under the influence of zero-valent palladium compound with high regioselectivity and in excellent yield to the acetylene 386 to give the metallated olefin 387 (Scheme 56). The vinyl lithium carbanion 388 generated therefrom, was then converted by reaction with cerium(lll) chloride into an equilibrium mixture (1 1) of the cerium salts 389 and 390 respectively. However, the 1,2-addition of 389 to the caibonyl of 391, which in principle would have eventually led to ( )-pretazettine, did not occur due to steric reasons — instead, only deprotonation of 391 was observed. On the other hand, 390 did function as a suitable nucleophile to provide the olefinic product 392. Exposure of 392 to copper(II) triflate induced its transformation via the nine membered enol (Scheme 55) to the requisite C-silyl hydroindole 393. On treatment with tetrafluoroboric acid diethyl ether complex in dichloromethane, compound 393 suffered... 

Pyrazolin-5-ones form complexes with both inorganic and organic compounds much more readily than do the 2-pyrazolin-5-ones. The most extensive series of complexes is that formed with a variety of metallic salts. Antipyrine (2,3-dimethyl-l-phenyl-3-pyrazolin-5-one) forms a series of complexes with salts of divalent, trivalent and tetra-valent metals. Two molecules of antipyrine form a complex with one molecule of copper, cadmium, cobalt and zinc salts.266,866,1116 Complexes prepared from metallic nitrates are usually hydrated.1322 There also exists a series of complexes in which three molecules of antipyrine form a complex with one or two molecules of metallic salts. Such complexes form with two molecules of simple ferric salts272 or with one of complex iron cyanides.608 Nitrates of thorium, lanthanum, cerium and samarium also give such complexes.841 This ratio also occurs in some antipyrine complexes with cadmium and zinc thiocyanate.266 A number of salts of rare earths and iron which have complex anions such as thiosulfate, thiocyanate, dithionic acid and complex iron cyanides form complexes in which six molecules of antipyrine are present.405,408 608,841,950 Stannic chloride forms salts containing three or four molecules of antipyrine and hydrochloric acid.46... 

Of great interest is the use of intermetallic compounds of platinum with rare-earth metals such as cerium and praseodymium for anodic methanol oxidation, known from the work of Lux and Cairns (2006). This combination is attractive inasmuch as it involves two metals that differ strongly in their own electrode potentials Pt with = -1-1.2 V and Pr with = —2.3 V(SHE), and thus in their electronic structure. However, for the same reason, traditional methods of preparing joint disperse deposits of these metals by chemical or electrochemical reduction in a solution of the corresponding salts fail in such a situation. Lux and Cairns developed a new technology for preparing disperse powders of such compounds by thermal decomposition of complex cyanide salts of these metals. The catalyst obtained had some activity in ethanol oxidation (although somewhat... 

High-coordination-number complexes of 0-keto-enolates continue to be obtained with the metals such as zirconium(IV),8 hafnium(IV),8 cerium(IV),9 and the lanthanons(III),10 the last being tetrakis anionic species. At least one example of a volatile tetrakis 0-keto-enolate salt has been reported,11 Cs[Y(CF3-COCHCOCF3)4]. The ionic charge on the 0-keto-enolate complex has been shown to produce12 a high field nuclear magnetic resonance for anions and low field shifts for cations, relative to the positions observed for the neutral species. 

Classical methods of separation [7] are (1) fractional crystallization, (2) precipitation and (3) thermal reactions. Fractional crystallization is an effective method for lanthanides at the lower end of the series, which differ in cation radius to a large extent. The separation of lanthanum as a double nitrate, La(N03)3-2NH4N03-4H20, from praseodymium and other trivalent lanthanide with prior removal of cerium as Ce4+ is quite a rapid process and is of commercial significance. Other examples are separation of yttrium earths as bromates, RE(Br03>9H20 and use of simple nitrates, sulfates and double sulfate and alkali metal rare earth ethylenediamine tetraacetate complex salts in fractional crystallization separation. 

In a nice illustration of the impact of metal coordination upon the reactivity of phospholes, a methodology for the functionalization of these heterocycles in the /3-position has been described (see also Scheme 22) <2001JOM105>. Here, coordination of both the P-lone pair and the cyclic diene system was undertaken. The resulting multimetallic complex 79 was treated with lithium diisopropylamide (LDA) to afford the lithium salt 350 (Scheme 118). This readily undergoes nucleophilic substitution with a variety of electrophiles to afford the corresponding substituted phosphole complexes 351-353. The free phospholes can be isolated following decomplexation with cerium(iv) ammonium nitrate (CAN). 

Ceda-based oxides can be obtained by the decomposition of some compound precursor, such as hydroxide, nitrate, halides, sulfates, carbonates, formates, oxalates, acetates, and citrates.For example, nanosize or porous cerium oxide particles have been prepared at low temperatures by pyrolysis of amorphous citrate," which is prepared by the evaporation of the solvent from the aqueous solution containing cerium nitrate (or oxalate) and citric acid. In the case of mixed oxides, the precursor containing some cations in the same solid salts is prepared. In the same manner of ceria particles, the precursors complexing some cations with citrates are useful to synthsize ceria-zirconia mixed oxides and their derivatives. Also. Ce02-Ln203 solid solutions, where Ln = La. Pr, Sm. Gd. and Tb, have been synthesized from the precursors obtained by the evaporation of nitrate solutions at 353 K in air from an intimate mixture of their respective metal nitrates. The precursors are dried and then heated at 673 K to remove niU ates, followed by calcination at 1073 K for 12h. 

The preparation of urethanes from primary aliphatic and aromatic amines by oxidative carbonylation has been described in which - instead of Pd salts or complexes - lanthanide compounds, particularly of cerium, and promoters comprising alkali metal salts or quaternary ammonium salts, are used [133]. 

Other REDOX reagents include iodine (I2), either by itself in a forward titration or in a back titration with sodium thiosulfate (Na2S2Os), and complex salts of the metal cerium (such as ammonium cerium sulfate,...
