Metal fragments

Welcast Plastics Company produces sheet castings for covers for welding-mask lenses. These covers for welding-mask lenses. These covers are resistant to hot metal fragments. 

The finer soil fraction contains adsorbed organics, small metallic particles, and bound ionic metals. This fraction may be treated further to remove the contaminants, or it may be incinerated or landfilled. The "clean" coarse fraction may contain some residual metallic fragments. With metal contamination, both the fine and coarse soil fractions may be leached with an acid solution to remove the metals. 

The final variable to be mentioned here is the presence of impurities. These may be metallic fragments residual from Ziegler-type processes or they can be trace materials incorporated into the polymer chain. Such impurities as catalyst fragments and carbonyl groups incorporated into the chain can have a serious adverse influence on the power factor of the polymer, whilst in other instances impurities can have an effect on aging behaviour. 

Molecular compounds of silicon in a formally zerovalent oxidation state can be stabilized by appropriate transition-metal fragments. An entry to such polyme-tallated complexes of silicon is given by the chlorosilylene compounds 7, 11 as a starting-point. 

However, it was about 8 years after the first synthesis of tetramesityldisilene before stable coordination compounds became known. The main reason for this is the kinetic stabilization of the known disilenes by bulky substituents, which effectively prevents the coordination of the double bond to a metal fragment. Thus, a direct coordination of stable disilenes appeared to be reasonable only if metals with very low coordination numbers were used. 

Initial velocities of explosively driven metal fragments can be accurately estimated by the so-called Gurney formula (see Vol 6, G195-R). The writer (Ref 81a) used the Ref 45 data referred to above to compute a Gurney constant /2E1 (for tangential detonation) of 3.04mm/ psec for 1.765g/cc PETN... 

The 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions are a powerful kind of reaction for the preparation of functionalised five-membered heterocycles [42]. In the field of Fischer carbene complexes, the a,/ -unsaturated derivatives have been scarcely used in cyclo additions with 1,3-dipoles in contrast with other types of cyclo additions [43]. These complexes have low energy LUMOs, due to the electron-acceptor character of the pentacarbonyl metal fragment, and hence, they react with electron-rich dipoles with high energy HOMOs. 

Coupling of alkenylcarbene complexes and siloxy-substituted 1,3-dienes affords vinylcyclopentene derivatives through a formal [3C+2S] cycloaddition process. This unusual reaction is explained by an initial [4C+2S] cycloaddition of the electron-poor chromadiene system as the 471 component and the terminal double bond of the siloxydiene as the dienophile. The chromacyclohexene intermediate evolves by a reductive elimination of the metal fragment to generate the [3C+2S] cyclopentene derivatives [73] (Scheme 26). 

Seven-membered carbocycles are also available from the reaction of alkenylcarbene complexes of chromium and lithium enolates derived from methyl vinyl ketones [79b] (Scheme 65). In this case, the reaction is initiated by the 1,2-addition of the enolate to the carbene complex. Cyclisation induced by a [1,2]-migration of the pentacarbonylchromium group and subsequent elimination of the metal fragment followed by hydrolysis leads to the final cyclo-heptenone derivatives (Scheme 65). 

Alkynylcarbene complexes react with strained and hindered olefins yielding products that incorporate up to four different components by the formation of five new carbon-carbon bonds [15b]. This remarkable transformation is explained by an initial [2+2] cycloaddition followed by CO insertion. The resulting intermediate suffers a well precedented [1,3]-migration of the metal fragment to generate a non-heteroatom-stabilised carbene complex intermediate which reacts with a new molecule of the olefin through a cyclopropana-tion reaction (Scheme 85). 

Recently the first examples of complexes between the four-membered amidinato-Group 13 metal(l) heterocycles and transition metal fragments were reported. Complexes of the type CpFe(CO)2[M(X) But(NR)2 ] (M = Al, Ga, In X = Cl, Br R = Pri, Gy) were formed in salt-elimination reactions between Na[CpFe(CO)2] and [But(NR)2]MX2. A series of complexes between the four-membered amidinato-Group 13 metal(l) heterocycles and Group 10 metal(O) fragments have been prepared according to Scheme 35. ... 

Neutral 2,3-dihydro-lH-l,3)2-diazaboroles are isoelectronic with the cyclopenta-dienyl anion and, therefore, prefer to react with neutral transition-metal fragments having 12 electrons ... 

The equilibrium position corresponds well with the Lewis acidity of the metal center. By increasing the electrophilicity of the metal fragment the equilibrium concentration of the PH form increases [79]. Some computational studies unambiguously confirm the experimental results [78]. 

The interaction of butadiynediyl dimetal complexes [Fp -C -CsC-M, Fp =FeCp (CO)2, M= Fp, Rp, SiMea, Rp= RuCp(CO)2] with diiron nonacarbonyl, Fe2(CO)9, results in the formation of a mixture of products, as is also observed in the case of their interaction with organic acetylenes. Interesting polymetallic complexes, propargylidene-ketene compounds, zwitterionic cluster compounds, and pa-p -propargylidene-cyclobutene compoimds were isolated from the reaction mixtures and successfully characterized. The product distributions were found to be dependent on the metal fragment (M) at the other end of the C4 rod. The results of the reaction are described... 

The reactions of the butadiynediyldimetal(Fe, Ru) complexes with Fe2(CO)ci at room temperature afforded mixtures of products, from which three types of products, viz. the ps-acetylide cluster compound 4, the pj-ti -propargylidene-ketene compound 5 and zwitterionic cluster compound 6, were isolated. While the reaction with an excess amount of Co2(CO)g results in addition to the sterically congested Fp -C=C part [6]. The distributions of the products were dependent on the metal fragments situated at the other end of the conjugated carbon rod. The cluster compounds so obtained were characterized by spectroscopic and...
