The reactions of aldehydes at 313 K [69] or 323 K [70] in CoAlPO-5 in the presence of oxygen results in formation of an oxidant capable of converting olefins to epoxides and ketones to lactones (Fig. 23). This reaction is a zeolite-catalyzed variant of metal [71-73] and non-metal-catalyzed oxidations [73,74], which utilize a sacrificial aldehyde. Jarboe and Beak [75] have suggested that these reactions proceed via the intermediacy of an acyl radical that is converted either to an acyl peroxy radical or peroxy acid which acts as the oxygen-transfer agent. Although the detailed intrazeolite mechanism has not been elucidated a similar type IIaRH reaction is likely to be operative in the interior of the redox catalysts. The catalytically active sites have been demonstrated to be framework-substituted Co° or Mn ions [70]. In addition, a sufficient pore size to allow access to these centers by the aldehyde is required for oxidation [70]. 

Some of these factors contain metal ions as redox-active components. In these cases, it is usually single electrons that are transferred, with the metal ion changing its valency. Unpaired electrons often occur in this process, but these are located in d orbitals (see p.2) and are therefore less dangerous than single electrons in non-metal atoms ( free radicals see below). 

Addition of sodium polyphosphate appreciably altered the rate constants for reactions (19)—(21) and stabilized the small non-metallic silver clusters [512, 513]. Advantages of the steady-state and pulse-radiolytic approaches to silver-cluster formation are manifold. Firstly, experimental conditions can be precisely adjusted such that the reactive species is exclusively e or, alternatively, that it is a known alcohol radical. Secondly, the concentration of the reducing species (the number of reducing equivalents generated) is readily calculable. Thirdly, in time-resolved experiments, rate constants for the individual reaction steps can be determined by monitoring absorption and/or conductivity changes. These latter determinations permitted the assessment of agglomeration numbers [512,513].

Covalent dendritic connection can result from any standard synthetic transformation capable of forming a covalent bond. These include nucleophilic, electrophilic, ionic, radical, and carbenoid reactions. Elements effecting bond formation include metals, non-metals, and metaloids.

Normally the term radical (or free radical ) is confined to molecules or ions with one unpaired electron (called doublet states because the electron has two magnetic quantum numbers +1/2). In the non-metal field the most common paramagnetic species other than radicals are those with two unpaired electrons, called triplet states (magnetic quantum numbers 0, 1). Quite the most important triplet-state molecule is dioxygen and it is a great pity that ESR spectroscopy can, for various reasons, only be used to detect O2 in the gas-phase or certain crystalline solids. Other important triplet-states are sometimes obtained on photo-excitation of ordinary (singlet-state) molecules or ions, and these have reactions in some ways typical of di-radicals (i.e.,... 

With sodium hydroxide or better with sodium, alcohol forms sodium alcoholate, a salt in which the ethyl radical plays the part of a non-metal, while with hydrochloric acid it forms ethyl chloride, a salt in which the ethyl radical plays the part of a metal. Now while alcohol acts as an acid toward only the strong bases it acts as a base toward practically all acids. We may say then that the basic character of alcohol is more pronounced than the acid. In both of these cases we have reactions that are simply the neutralization of an acid or a base by a base or an acid, the products being the same as in all neutralizations, viz., a salt and water. Both sodium alcoholate and ethyl chloride are to be looked upon then as salts.

These hydrides exist in the same molecular form in all states of aggregation, and except for those of the most electronegative elements there are only weak van der Waals forces acting between the molecules in the crystals. We refer to crystalline NH3, OH2, and FH in our discussion of the hydrogen bond. Many short-lived hydride species are known to the spectroscopist, and the structures of some radicals have recently been studied in matrices at low temperatures (for example, CH3 (planar), S1H3 and GeH3 (pyramidal)). Many of the non-metals form more complex hydrides in addition to the simple molecules noted above the more...
