Organic solvents oxygenated hydrocarbons

Metallo-organic compounds possess high reactivity to water, oxygen and nearly all organic solvents, except hydrocarbons and ethers. Chemical properties of the suggested surface complexes of the type M )f in presence of various solvents are unknown. However,...

Solution polymerization of VDE in fluorinated and fluorochlorinated hydrocarbons such as CEC-113 and initiated with organic peroxides (99), especially bis(perfluoropropionyl) peroxide (100), has been claimed. Radiation-induced polymerization of VDE has also been investigated (101,102). Alkylboron compounds activated by oxygen initiate VDE polymerization in water or organic solvents (103,104). Microwave-stimulated, low pressure plasma polymerization of VDE gives polymer film that is <10 pm thick (105). Highly regular PVDE polymer with minimized defect stmcture was synthesized and claimed (106). Perdeuterated PVDE has also been prepared and described (107). 

In 1963, E. J. Bowen published his classic review The Photochemistry of Aromatic Hydrocarbon Solutions, in which he described two major reaction pathways for PAHs irradiated in organic solvents photodimerization and photooxidation mediated by the addition of singlet molecular oxygen, 02 ) (or simply 102), to a PAH (e.g., anthracene). For details on the spectroscopy and photochemistry of this lowest electronically excited singlet state of molecular oxygen, see Chapter 4.A, the monograph by Wayne (1988), and his review article (1994). For compilations of quantum yields of formation and of rate constants for the decay and reactions of 02( A), see Wilkinson et al., 1993 and 1995, respectively. 

An ether consists of two hydrocarbon moieties linked by an oxygen atom, as shown in Figure 14.7. Although diethyl ether is highly flammable, ethers are generally not very reactive. This property enables their uses in applications where an unreactive organic solvent is required. Some ethers form explosive peroxides when exposed to air, as shown by the example of diethyl ether peroxide in Figure 14.7.
