Mixed oxides, compounds systems

Ce(IV) extracts more readily iato organic solvents than do the trivalent Ln(III) ions providing a route to 99% and higher purity cerium compounds. Any Ce(III) content of mixed lanthanide aqueous systems can be oxidi2ed to Ce(IV) and the resultiag solutioa, eg, of nitrates, contacted with an organic extractant such as tributyl phosphate dissolved in kerosene. The Ce(IV) preferentially transfers into the organic phase. In a separate step the cerium can be recovered by reduction to Ce(III) followed by extraction back into the aqueous phase. Cerium is then precipitated and calcined to produce the oxide. 

EPR-IR. The neutral sandwich complexes of Lu and the one-electron oxidized sandwich complexes of Zr have a jr-radical anion that can be observed by EPR spectroscopy. The EPR spectra for compounds 21, 23, 25, 27 and Collman s mixed porphyrin-pz system (30) give a signal for an S = j system with a g value of 2.0037, which is typical for an organic n radical (35). Further evidence for the Jt-radical character in sandwich compounds of phthalocyanines, porphyrins, and porphyrazines may be obtained from infrared (IR) spectroscopy by the presence of diagnostic marker bands (81). These intense bands are found in the IR spectra of Lu(III) compounds (21) (1150 cm-1) (35), 23 (1140 cm-1) (78), and 25 (1261 cm4) (34) and are absent in the Zr(IV) and Ce(IV) compounds 27,29, and 31. 

Both mirex and chlordecone are microsomal enzyme inducers, and as such enhance the metabolism of compounds oxidized or reduced by the mixed function oxygenase system. For... 

In spite of the abundant work on synthetic, thermodynamic, structural, and spectroscopic aspects of mixed-valence compounds, the dynamic solution behavior toward external redox reagents has not been much addressed. When such compounds are unsymmetrical and valence-localized, several problems arise when a fully reduced dinuclear complex reacts with an oxidant. Haim pioneered a systematic study performed with different systems reacting with a common two-electron oxidant, peroxydisulfate (126). A relevant example is given by reaction (35) ...
