When a slurry of Si02, [Re(C0)30H]4, excess K2CO3 and water is stirred at 25 °C and evaporated to dryness, K[Re2(CO)6( i-OH)3] is formed in quantitative yield [65]. However, the Si02 surface does not play an important role in this conversion because the same complex can be obtained quantitatively by reaction in water of ]Re(C0)30H]4 with K2CO3 or with [NEt4]OH [65]. Nonetheless, the investigation of this silica-mediated synthesis was a springboard for a new convenient synthesis in solution of [Re2(CO)6( i-OH)3] , a complex previously prepared by more complex reactions [66].

Most of the chemical processes discussed before (acid-base equilibria, precipitation-dissolution, neutralization, complexation, and oxidation-reduction) are interrelated that is, reactions of one type may influence other types of reactions, and consequently must be integrated into aqueous- and solution-geochemistry computer codes. 

PPEs in water and prevent aggregation and self-quenching [53]. Heeger and co-workers paired anionic PPV with a nonconjugated cationic polymer to form a charge-neutral complex and saw both reduction of nonspecific effects and some loss in sensitivity in protein detection [54]. Polyelectrolytes may be best used in assay schemes, such as DNA hybridization assays or drug discovery screens, where the assay conditions are well controlled and nonspecific interactions reduced or avoided. 

Assume that the reaction between the neutral complex and the solvating molecule takes place at the interface (to assume the reaction to take place in the organic phase would be umealistic, as the zinc thiocyanate is insoluble in hexane) thus the etxraction reaction is...

Elimination of a formaldehyde molecule is an important fragmentation channel for iV-methoxymethyl 43a and iV-ethoxymethyl 43b sultams. The process is mediated by an ion neutral complex and it yields a mixture of N- and O-alkylated ions in various ratios <2005JMP331>. Fragmentations of 43a are shown in Scheme 5. 

Titanium, as an example for the transport model verification, was chosen because of the extensive experimental data available on LLX and membrane separation [1,2,74—76] and of its extraction double-maximum acidity dependence phenomenon [74]. This behavior was observed for most extractant families basic (anion exchangers), neutral (complexants), and acidic (cation exchangers). So, it is possible to study both counter- and cotransport mechanisms at pH > 0.5 and [H] > 7 mol/kg feed solution acidities, respectively, using neutral (hydrophobic, hydrophilic) and ion-exchange membranes. 

In this light the results with diolefins do not appear surprising. In fact with the Pd(II)-carbon systems, also addition has recently been shown to be cis (Section IV, A). When Pd(II) is not 7r-complexed to the double bonds, the addition is cis-exo, and when Pd(II) is complexed in the endo position the addition is cis-endo. Another factor in the diene complexes is the fact two cis coordination positions are taken up. Since chloride may not be as readily displaced to give the nucleophile, attack may tend to be trans. Moreover these are neutral complexes and thus may be more susceptible to nucleophilic attack. 

A group represented within a bracket is held together by the primary and auxiliary valences and functions as a stable complex ion. In the case of dichlorotetrammine cobaltic chloride, for instance, the complex univalent cation, [Co(NH8)4Cl2]+, behaves as a univalent ion. The two chlorine atoms within the complex are not ions as they are not precipitated by silver nitrate. Similarly, trichlorotriammine cobaltic chloride, [CoCNHs Cls], is a neutral complex, and has but a very...
