It is noteworthy that this family of complexes had been known for decades, bnt what made the newly introduced derivatives excellent catalysts for polymerizing ethylene was the incorporation of very bulky aryl substituents (e.g. 2, 6-(i-Pr)2C6H3) on the diimine nitrogens. Solid-state structural and computational studies have indicated that the aryl... 

For )V-unsubstituted pyrazoles the tautomeric proton was generally located without ambiguity. 3-Substituted tautomers were favoured in the solid state (45), (46) and (48) (Table 5). For the pyrazolyltriazole (47) the authors (77JHC65) concluded that the X-ray analysis indicates that the proton on the pyrazole ring populates either nitrogen atom to... 

Exothermic Decompositions These decompositions are nearly always irreversible. Sohds with such behavior include oxygen-containing salts and such nitrogen compounds as azides and metal styphnates. When several gaseous products are formed, reversal would require an unlikely complex of reactions. Commercial interest in such materials is more in their storage properties than as a source of desirable products, although ammonium nitrate is an important explosive. A few typical exampes will be cited to indicate the ranges of reaction conditions. They are taken from the review by Brown et al. ( Reactions in the Solid State, in Bamford and Tipper, Comprehensive Chemical Kinetics, vol. 22, Elsevier, 1980). 

The energy-dispersive (EDX) solid state detector (SSD, Figs 4.6, 4.7) is made of lithium-drifted Si crystal (Si(Li)). Between a thin p-type and an n-type layer lies a high-resistivity Si crystal of centimeter dimensions. The front and end planes of the crystal are coated with Au and serve as electrodes. The crystal, cooled to 77 K by liquid nitrogen, represents a p-i-n diode (Fig. 4.7). An incident X-ray photon with... 

EPR studies of S-N radicals were reviewed in 1990. Many radicals containing the S-N linkage are persistent for more than several hours in solution at room temperature. Perhaps the best known example is the nitrosodisulfonate dianion [0N(S03)] , named as Fremy s salt. In the solid state this radical dianion dimerizes through weak N 0 interactions, but it forms a paramagnetic blue-violet monomer in solution. Although most chalcogen-nitrogen radicals dimerize in the solid state, a few heterocyclic C-S-N systems can be isolated as monomers (Section 11.3). 

Mixed 6),Af-donor ligands such as Schiff bases are of interest in that they provide examples not only of square-planar coordination but also, in the solid state, examples of square-pyramidal coordination by dimerization (Fig. 28.6(b)). A similar situation occurs in the bis-dimethylglyoximato complex, which dimerizes by sharing oxygen atoms, though the 4 coplanar donor atoms are all nitrogen atoms. Copper(II) carboxylates are easily obtained by crystallization from aqueous solution or, in the case of the higher carboxylates, by precipitation with the appropriate acid from ethanolic solutions... 

The foregoing conclusions are further supported by a refined X-ray analysis of pyrid-2-one, which indicated that the mobile hydrogen atom is attached to the nitrogen atom in the solid state and that individual molecules are bound into helices by N—H- -0 hydrogen bonds. An oxo structure is also indicated by the molar refractivity of pyrid-2-one. The dipole moment of 4-methoxypyridine is ca. 3.0 debyes in dioxane, whereas the values for pyrid-4-one and its 1-methyl derivative are much higher, ca. 6.0 debyes indicating the... 

The Cr2072- ion can act as an oxidizing agent in the solid state as well as in water solution. In particular, it can oxidize the NH ion to molecular nitrogen. When a pile of ammonium dichromate is ignited, a spectacular reaction occurs (Figure 20.12).
