Metal group-IIIB elements

Group-IIIB halides ( 6.5.2), through interaction with neutral metal bases, lead to acid-base adducts in which the group-IIIB elements possess higher coordination numbers than before ( 6.5.2.1) ... 

Cobalt is one of the favored transition metals to form bonds with group-IIIB elements. Besides B, the heavier elements give especially stable bonds to Co. 

Group-IIIB element-transition-metal compounds have been synthesized by means of anionic metal bases and halide-free group-IIIB compounds. The carbonylate anions of Mn and Re interact with BHj to give [HjBMfCOlj]", which are best isolated as the tetraalkylammonium or phosphonium salts ... 

Reactions between anionic species containing one or more group-IIIB elements (particularly boron) and complexes of transition-metal halides are used to produce an immense number of ionic boron-containing compounds. For this reason a strong selection factor must be made. 

Reactions of dinuclear transition metal carbonyls with Ga, In, or T1 in the +1 state proceed by oxidative addition, which leads to insertion of the group IIIB element into the metal-metal bond. From the reaction of InBr with Co2(CO)8 in THE, the product is BrIn[Co(CO)4]2-THF, while the halides Ga2X4 (X = Cl or Br) yield XjGaCoICO) THE, in which both Ga centers attain the +3 stateh The same products can be isolated from reactions of the group IIIB halides, MX3, with NaCo(CO)4 or Co2(CO)g in Thfi-3. 

Chloride-Containing Catalyst. Two patent applications were submitted by Wohlfahrt et al. involving many catalysts PbO on various supports chlorides, bromides, and iodides of the alkali and alkaline earth metals the elements of Group IIIB elements having an atomic number of 24 to 30 the La elements and Ag Cd Pb and Bi. A conversion of 14.4% and 90% C,+... 

Group-IIIB elements (i.e. B, Al, Ga, In and Tl) have an odd number of valence electrons in the fairly weakly bound s and p atomic shells. Unlike the group-II case, one could expect these elements to behave like simple metals, with properties determined by the average valence-electron density. Instead, the evolution of physical and chemical properties within the group is far from simple and monotonic. 

Group NIB and f-BIOCk Metallocenes. The need for expensive cocatalysts has always hampered the development of metallocene catalysts for olefin polymerization. It was recognized early on that substitution of the Group IVB metal with a lanthanide or Group IIIB element in the -1-3, state would represent a cocatalyst-free analogue of the Kaminsky system. Active catalysts are indeed obtained from bis-Cp lanthanocenes and yttrium- and scandium-based congeners. The lutetium dimer 29 has an activity of >7 kg/mmol(Lu)/h/atm for ethylene polymerization in cyclohexane (95). (This remarkable compound can also break the C—H bonds of alkanes.)... 

Sections 6.5.2-6.S.4 describe the most convenient synthetic pathways for preparing group IIIB-transition-element bonds, excluding the IB and IIB metals ( 6.4). Three main methods can be distinguished. 

The pulsed molecular beam cluster source has produced clusters of virtually every material—we have made clusters of even the most refractory transition metals, of group IIIB and IVB elements, and numerous oxides, carbides, and intermetallic alloys of these elements. 

The alkali metals, the alkaline earth metals, the group IIIB metals, aluminum, zinc, cadmium, and silver have ions with charges equal to their classical group numbers, but only in their compounds When the elements are uncombined, they do not form ions, and the charge on each atom is zero. 

We have already considered two first-row metal series containing 12 and 14 valence electrons where there are hints of adherence to the principle. However, there is a more definite exaunple of "isoelectronic" behavior where the ground states of four 13-electron molecules have been established to be E. These molecules are also in the class of what have been referred to, after Gingerich, et al. (34-36), as Brewer-Engel molecules (37) each involves two elements from opposite ends of the periodic table, in this case Groups IIIB and VIII. Such molecules are expected to form strong multiple bonds and therefore to be of low spin. ScNi, 89y105p ... 

Protonic acid cleavage of compounds containing nonmetal-N or metal-N bonds results in N—H bonds. These reactions produce amines that are more readily prepared by other reactions hence, they are of limited synthetic utility. Groups IIIB, IVB (except C), and VB (except N) element-N bond cleavage reactions are ... 

The f block elements Lanthanide and actinide elements. These two series often appear with a or in Group IIIB (3), but these elements do not belong to that family. (Note that the transition metals do not belong to group IIA (2), which they follow.) The most common oxidation state for the lanthanides and some of the actinides is +3, hence the popularity of the IIIB (3) position. Because of their remarkable electronic and chemical properties they should be set apart, but most periodic tables give no special numerical appellations to these elements. 

Alternatively, the ligand may occupy a terminal site, as shown in 4 or 5 (X=S). The tendency for the new ligand formed as a result of aminometallation to behave in a bidentate fashion, as in 3, 6, or 7, depends on whether the metal or metalloid has adequate Lewis acidity and is otherwise coordinatively unsaturated. Consequently, among main group elements M, chelation or bridging is most frequently found among the s-block, group IIIB, or electropositive (e.g., Sn", raher than SP) elements and is commonly encountered in transition metal complexes.

Transition Elements. Sometimes known as inner transition elements, these are elements in which electrons are being added to f orbitals. In these elements, the second from the outermost occupied shell is building from 18 to 32 electrons. All are metals. The transition elements are located between Groups IIIB and PVB in the periodic table. They are...
