Multivalent structures reaction

The multivalence structure of chemical elements opens numerous possibilities for chemical product formation, energy utilization and distribution, stereo-selectivity and product orientation. Experiments on the effect of selective product formation and vibrational, translational and orientational excitation of reactants in bimolecular reactions can give important insight into their microscopic dynamics. The information obtained in such experiments can be compared with the results of theoretical calculations of the reaction dynamics based on ab initio potential energy surfaces and is also of fundamental interest for improving the kinetic data used in detailed chemical kinetic modelling. 

Besides the applications of the electrophilicity index mentioned in the review article [40], following recent applications and developments have been observed, including relationship between basicity and nucleophilicity [64], 3D-quantitative structure activity analysis [65], Quantitative Structure-Toxicity Relationship (QSTR) [66], redox potential [67,68], Woodward-Hoffmann rules [69], Michael-type reactions [70], Sn2 reactions [71], multiphilic descriptions [72], etc. Molecular systems include silylenes [73], heterocyclohexanones [74], pyrido-di-indoles [65], bipyridine [75], aromatic and heterocyclic sulfonamides [76], substituted nitrenes and phosphi-nidenes [77], first-row transition metal ions [67], triruthenium ring core structures [78], benzhydryl derivatives [79], multivalent superatoms [80], nitrobenzodifuroxan [70], dialkylpyridinium ions [81], dioxins [82], arsenosugars and thioarsenicals [83], dynamic properties of clusters and nanostructures [84], porphyrin compounds [85-87], and so on.

The catalytic activity of phthalocyanine organometallic complexes in hydrocarbon oxidations 281) led to testing such compounds as fuel cell electrocatalysts (282). Phthalocyanine complexes have the structure of Fig. 22 with a multivalent metal, Fe, Co, Ni, or Cu, surrounded by four symmetric nitrogen atoms. These ligands (L) activate the 0-0 bond by forming an adduct with oxygen and thus promote reaction with hydrocarbons... 

Catalysts considered in the present discussion cover a wide spectrum of solids reducible multivalent metal oxides as well as non reducible basic compounds Reducible metal oxides possess some inherent problems whereas these problems are less for the alkali ions promoted alkaline earth oxides. Alkaline earth oxides seem to be more suitable for working at low partial pressure of oxygen. By doping alkaline earth oxides with alkali metal compounds it is conceivable that O species can be stabilized for dissociative absorption of methane. Reducible metal oxides will tend to transform into lower valent oxides or even upto metallic state partly under applied reaction conditions specially at low partial pressure of O2. Both activity and selectivity will be deteriorated. But for the non reducible basic oxides structural changes will be quite different. They will tend to reach an equilibrium state in the surface level amongst the oxide, hydroxide and carbonate phases on reacting with evolved H2O and CO. Both the lattice distortion and the formation of O species can occur in the alkali earth oxides in doping with alkali ions as they can not build a mixed oxide lattice.
