A considerable charge density at the carbonyl oxygen is also indicated by C-13 NMR measurements with the metalated "monomer (i.e. methyl isobutyrate) and dimer in THF, which were reported by Vancea and Bywater (35). They showed that the bond between the -carbon and the carbonyl carbon exhibits a distinct double bond character. 

The dimer species, M2, was described by Huster (21) as a simple dissolved diatomic molecule. Such a species would be very unstable with respect to the ammoniated species, M + and e and may be ruled out by thermochemical data. The expanded metal dimer model of Becker, Lindquist, and Alder, in which two ammoniated metal ions are held together by a pair of electrons in a molecular orbital located principally between the two ions, is just as difficult to reconcile with optical, volumetric, and NMR data as the expanded metal monomer. In order to account for the similar absorption spectra of e, M, M2 (and any other species such as M or M4 that might exist at moderate concentrations of metal), Gold, Jolly, and Pitzer (16) assumed that species such as M and M2 consist of ionic aggregates in which the ammoniated electrons remain essentially unchanged from their state at infinite dilution. 

Ottolenghi et. al. (22) have investigated both the optical spectra and the ESR spectra of the alkali metals in ethylamine. From the nature of the decay rates and the ESR spectra they conclude that the 6600 A. band is to be assigned to the metal monomer and the 13,000 A. band to the solvated electron. 

Ethylamine Solutions, (a) Photoregeneration of Bleached Solutions—The absorption spectra of alkali metals in ethylamine have been discussed in previous publications (24,25). Briefly, three characteristic bands are found, absorbing at about 650 (V), 850 (R) and 1300 (IR) m/z, and attributed respectively to metal monomers, dimers, and solvated electrons. In potassium solutions, the equilibria favor the V-band, while in rubidium the R-band is most prominent, except at extreme dilutions. 

Other important methods of synthesis of coordination compounds are discussed in detail [1,3,10,11,53,201,202,206,207,316,318,322,690]. In this respect, we emphasize the synthesis of metal-polymers [690,691] and preparation of complexes in the solid phase (mechano- or tribosynthesis) [10,201,202,206]. Additionally to the above-described techniques, the general methods and principles of synthesis of coordination compounds are used to obtain metal-polymers (immediate interaction of polymer ligands and metal salts, template electrosynthesis, polymer-analogous transformations). The last method consists of the polymerization of metal-monomers (metal-containing monomers) and fixation of metal complexes on the polymer...

In contrast to the A4C60 salts, monomeric Na4C6o - stable above about 500 K -is a metal. The reason is that the shorter interfullerene distances of this compound reduce the Hubbard U and increase the bandwidth W, leading to an UAV value lying in the metallic domain [56]. Li4C6o also has a metallic monomer phase above 470 K [57,58]. The presence of distorted fulleride ions has not been investigated in these phases yet. 

Na4C6o was the first fulleride polymer containing single bonds and the first one which is two dimensional and can be synthesized at ambient pressure [92]. The strucmre agrees with the one calculated to be the most stable for polymers, which are built from C q ions (Fig. 12c) [81]. Polymeric Na4C6o was found to be metallic [92], and transforms to an also metallic monomer phase around 500 K [56].

CD spectroscopy has also provided valuable insight into the chemical stability and chemical denaturation of proteins. A recent study by Rumfeldt etalP examines the guanidinium-chloride induced denaturation of mutant copper-zinc superoxide dismutases (SODs). These mutant forms of the Cu, Zn-SOD enzyme are associated with toxic protein aggregation responsible for the pathology of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. In this study, CD spectroscopy was used in conjunction with tryptophan fluorescence, enzyme activity, and sedimentation experiments to study the mechanism by which the mutated enzyme undergoes chemical denaturation. The authors found that the mutations in the enzyme structure increased the susceptibility of the enzyme to form partially unfolded destabilized monomers, rather than the stable metallated monomer intermediate or native metallated dimer. 

We also have studied the optieal properties of the porous bee-clusters with variable conjugate volume fraction. To this end, some part of the occupied sites was removed randomly to obtain aggregates with a desired conjugate volume fraction. This is exactly the same procednie that has been introduced by Lazarides and Schatz [70], but for homogeneous metal monomers. 

Metal-containing polymers may be produced by various methods, such as chemical reactions of precursors— in particular, reactions of metal salts in polymer solutions, the treatment of polymers with metal vapors, or the polymerization of various metal-monomer systems [1-4], Depending on the metal nature and the polymer structure, these processes lead to organometallic units incorporated into polymer chains, metal-polymer complexes, or metal clusters and nanoparticles physically connected with polymer matrix. Of special interest are syntheses with the use of metal vapors. In this case, metal atoms or clusters are not protected by complexones or solvate envelopes and consequently have specific high reactivity. It should be noted that the apparatus and principles of metal vapor synthesis techniques are closely related to many industrial processes with participation of atomic and molecular species [5]—for example, manufacturing devices for microelectronic from different metals and metal containing precursors [6]. Vapor synthesis methods employ varying metals and... 

Metal-containing polymers can be synthesized by the vapor deposition polymerization of various monomer systems including organometallic compounds and metal-monomer co-condensates. Such co-condensates are produced by simultaneous or layer-by-layer deposition of metal and monomer vapors on substrate plates at low temperatures (usually, 77 K). Polymerization can proceed in different ways. Some metal-monomer systems polymerize during cocondensation (Ge and Sn with acetylene [11], Mg with CN-substituted p-xylylene [12]), most probably due to heat released at condensation. In references 13-16, co-condensates of metals (Pd, Ag, Au, etc.) and vinyl monomers... 

Depending on the metal nature and monomer structure, the vapor deposition cryopolymerization of metal-monomer systems yields a possibility producing metal-containing polymers of different structure. Polymer containing organo-metallic groups or metal-polymer complexes can be prepared using pre-... 

Gupta and Neckers (99) used another complexing monomer. They copolymerTzed 4-methyl-4-vinyl-2,2 -bipyridine with divinylbenzene in the presence of metal ions Ni, Co " ", and Cu . After removing the metal, the polymers retained some memory of the original chelating metal. Braun and Kuchen (100) changed the procedure somewhat since they prepared and characterized the metal-monomer complex before polymerization. They used bis [bis (4-vinylphenyl)dithiophosphinato]nickel(II) and cobalt(II) and copolymerized these to macroporous polymers. After removal of the metal ions the nickel polymer showed an uptake ratio of nickel cobalt of 1.4 and the cobalt polymer of cobalt nickel of 2.4.

The synthesis of a sol-gel follows three primary steps [1]. First, the transition metal monomers are hydrolyzed to form a tetrahydroxy alkoxide. Because most sol-gels are formed fi om silica monomers, the remainder of the discussion will focus on silica sol-gels. The hydrolysis step for silica sol-gels typically involves the use of either tetramethyl orthosilicate (TMOS) or tetraethyl...
