Molybdenum-thallium complexes

Diarylacetylenes are converted in 55-90% yields into a-diketones by refluxing for 2-7 h with thallium trinitrate in glyme solutions containing perchloric acid [413. Other oxidants capable of achieving the same oxidation are ozone [84], selenium dioxide [509], zinc dichromate [660], molybdenum peroxo complex with HMPA [534], potassium permanganate in buffered solutions [848, 856, 864,1117], zinc permanganate [898], osmium tetroxide with potassium chlorate [717], ruthenium tetroxide and sodium hypochlorite or periodate [938], dimethyl sulfoxide and iV-bromosuccin-imide [997], and iodosobenzene in the presence of a ruthenium catalyst [787] (equation 143). 

The (IsQ-coordinated species [Mo(CO)3(py)3] prepared from [Mo(CO)6] and pyridine is useful for the synthesis of various jr-allyl molybdenum compounds (68JOM(13)Pl, 970M5365). The 3-allyl complexes [( 3-allyl)Mo(CO)2Br(py)2] form [( 3-allyl)Mo(CO)2(S,S)(py)] with the anionic S,S-donors, dithiocarbamates and xanthates of sodium and potassium, M (S,S) (81JOM(218)185). [( 3-C3H5)Mo(CO)2(py)2Br] (68JO M(14)375) with thallium hexafluorophosphate in acetonitrile gives... 

The trimethylsilylated silicic acids formed in this instance are soluble in conventional organic solvents, and their volatility is sufficiently high for them to be analysed by gas chromatography. Carzo and Hoebbel [411] carried out a comprehensive study of the chromatographic retention of various trimethylsilylated silicic acids on different stationary phases Apiezon L and silicone OV-1 and OV-17. The analysis of metals in the form of volatile complexes continues to attract attention, and have been described for analysing sodium [412], potassium [412], radium [413], caesium [413], barium [414], calcium [414], strontium [415], beryllium [416, 417], magnesium [418], zinc [419, 420], nickel [419], mercury [421], copper [422, 423], silver [424, 425], cadmium [421], indium [426, 427], g ium [428], scandium [217], cobalt [421], thallium [426], hafnium [429, 430], lead [431, 432], titanium [430], vanadium [433], chromium [434-436], manganese [426], iron [437], yttrium [438], platinum [439,440], palladium [439, 441, 442], zirconium [430], molybdenum [443], ruthenium [444], rhodium [445], rare earths [446—449], thorium [221, 450, 451] and uranium [221, 452]. The literature on GC analysis of metal chelates was reviewed by Sokolov [458].
