Other Complexes.— The rate law for base hydrolysis of [CrCOgC CF3)(NH3)g] + includes terms in the first and second powers of the hydroxide ion concentration. The first term refers to normal base hydrolysis, be it S Nlcb, 5 nHp, or 8 2. The second term, observed also for other [M(carboxylato)(NH3)5] + complexes, can be interpreted by attack of one hydroxide ion at the acyl-carbon and removal of a proton thence by the second hydroxide ion. Activation entropies for acid and for base hydrolysis of [CrCl(RNH2)5] +, with R = H, Me, Et, Pr, or Bu , are remarkably similar, which suggests a dissociative mechanism for base as for acid hydrolysis.  

Rates have been determined by stopped-flow spectrophotometry and by polarography for the following reactions in the pentacyanonitrosyliron system  

The equilibrium constant for the right-hand equilibrium was estimated from the forward and reverse rate constants. The reactivity of the co-ordinated nitrosyl group in this and related complexes has been reviewed.  

The rate law for base hydrolysis of several bisethylenediamine and penta-ammine complexes of ruthenmm(iii) has a term in hydroxide ion concentration, but this is thought to arise from pre-equilibrium ion-pair formation in a dissociative process rather than from 5 n2 hydroxide attack. The rate and activation enthalpy trends for chloride-bromide-iodide triads are in the order usual for dissociative rather than associative processes. The stereochemical course of the reactions is consistent with an S Nlcb or an 5 n2 mechanism. Base hydrolysis of tranj-[Pt(CN)4Br2] obeys a rate law with a first-order term in hydroxide ion concentration, but again this is ascribed to pre-equilibrium ion-pair formation rather than S 2 hydroxide attack. This time the evidence cited is the positive value for the activation entropy, which indicates a dissociative process. Obviously an S Nlcb mechanism cannot operate here since there are no protons in the complex.  

Activation enthalpies correlate linearly with activation entropies for base hydrolysis of [RhX(NH3)5] + for X = Cl, Br, or I, but not for X = azide. So here, as for base hydrolysis of [CoX(NH3)s] + discussed earlier, the mechanism of base hydrolysis may be different for azide and halide ligands. But the situation is confused by such series as the [CoX(trenen)] + complexes also mentioned previously,where the mechanism of base hydrolysis seems to be S Nlcb for X = azide as for X = chloride. Kinetic parameters for base hydrolysis of [IrI(NH3)s]2+ suggest an 5 Nlcb mechanism.

Studies of the loss of unidentate ligands from complexes which also contain multi-dentate ligands e.g. en, ox , tren, or edta) will be found in a later section dealing with the effects of non-leaving ligands. 

Other Complexes. Two new complex ions, cij-[Cr(ox)2(N3)2] and m-[Cr(ox)2(N3 OHal -, have been characterized and their acid-catalysed aquation reactions established to occur with retention of configuration. For the diazido-complex at high acidities only the term involving Ai [equation (27)] is important, and at 308.1 K, Ai = 0.291 mol s , = 20.5 0.7kcalmol , and LS = 5.8 2.3 cal 

This report is opposite to expectations since reaction (32) could be predicted to proceed at a lower rate than reaction (31) because of the differences in overall charge which affect the ease of metal-ligand bond cleavage. The authors also observed an inverse acid-dependence of the observed rate constant k  

A thesis has appeared concerned with the kinetics of cis- and trans-water exchange reactions in some aquachromium(m) complexes.  

Other Complexes. A dissociative mechanism has been established for substitution reactions of low-spin rm/w-[Fe(dmgH)2(L)2] (L=l-methylimidazole, py, CO, or PhCH2NC) in non-aqueous solvents. The rate data are summarized in Table 26. The dimethylglyoxime complexes with L=CO or PhCHjNC are substantially more 

Photolysis of //-a j-[Fe(L)(CO)(MeCN)] + ion [L=2,3,9,10-tetramethyl-l,4,8,11-tetra-azacyclotetradeca-l,3,8,10-tetraene (23)] in the metal- ligand charge-transfer band at 436 nm leads to efficient loss of CO in MeCN solution (0=0.6) whereas in Me2CO solution less efficient loss of MeCN occurs (O 10 ). Photolysis of fr K5 -[Fe(23)(trimethyl phosphite)2] + ion in pyridine solution gives /ra/M -[Fe(23)-py)a] + with AFT = 4.1 kcal mol , whereas /ra j-[Fe(23)(imidazole)2] + ion is photoinert.  

The 9-heteropolymolybdates may represent metastable equilibrium states in some ranges of pH and concentration4. Thus dilute free acids prepared by ion exchange contain the 1 9 complexes as virtually the sole anionic species. However, other complexes may develop irreversibly if the temperature is raised above 35 °C. Still other complexes develop irreversibly on long standing. For example, upon standing in some solutions at room temperature, the 9-molybdophosphate complex very gradually converts to the 12-molybdophosphate. 

Solutions of heteropolymolybdates appear to contain trace amounts of many of the other possible species in equilibrium (See Table 14). The equilibria are complicated by rate phenomena. However, removal of any one heteropoly species, as by precipitation, eventually leads to complete conversion to that form. Thus, ammonium 9-molybdophosphate in solution will eventually precipitate out as the insoluble ammonium 12-molybdophosphate. Heating accelerates this reaction. 

The 9-molybdophosphates may also be converted to 12-molybdophosphates by treatment with acid. In turn, the reverse reaction may be brought about by treatment with base or additional phosphoric acid. 

Some heteropoly acids are easily decomposed in acid solution as has been shown by spectroscopic studies15 3 The order of increasing stability is 12-molybdophosphate, 12-molybdogermanate, 12-molybdosilicate, and 9-molybdophosphate153.  

The 9-heteropolymolybdates and 9-heteropolytungstates are prepared at higher temperatures, higher concentrations and under a slightly less acid condition than the 12-anions7 23,21 28 The range of conditions necessary for formation is narrower than for other species. Once formed, however, the 1 9 anions remain undecomposed under conditions in which they would not form. 

With more bulky porphyrins like TMP, a stable low-spin monomer Rh(TMP) can be isolated (g = 2.65, g = 1.915), which forms a paramagnetic CO adduct. 

A number of rhodium(III) complexes of thiacrown ligands can be reduced to give rhodium(II) species identifiable in solution. Thus controlled potential electrolysis of Rh(9S3)2+ (9S3 = 1,4,7-trithiacyclononane) gives Rh(9S3)2+ (g, = 2.085, g2 = 2.042, g3 = 2.009) [82], 

A considerable number of rhodium(III) complexes exist. Their stability and inertness are as expected for a low-spin d6 ion any substitution leads to a considerable loss of ligand-field stabilization. 

There are a number of reports of the electrochemieal oxidation of Mn and Mn to higher oxidation state species that have some stability in solution but no eomplexes have been isolated. 

For example, the complexes [Mn (N)(CN)4] and [Mn (L)3] (L = benzohydroxamic acid) in CH3CN solutions show irreversible anodic responses in their cyclic voltammograms suggesting Mn and Mn complexes are formed.  

Metal-ligand complexation has also been employed for polyrotaxane synthesis [133]. Pyrrole moieties were attached to both ends of a linear species bearing a 

Instead of conventional organic polymers, Kim and coworkers addressed coordination polymers in polyrotaxane synthesis [134,135]. The cyclic, cucurbituril 

was threaded onto diamine 92. These low molar-mass pseudorotaxanes gave coordination polymers 93B with Ag(CH3C6H4S03) and 93A with AgN03. A different silver coordination polymer containing cyclic species in the backbone was also knitted together by a small linear molecule via rotaxane formation [136], Thus the polymeric structure obtained was referred as 2D molecular sheet. 

Gibson and coworkers utilized the expected complexation between crown ethers and acrylonitrile for the preparation of poly(acrylonitrile-crown ether rotax-ane)s 94 [137]. Relative to that with the polystyrene backbone, the enhanced threading supported the intermediacy of the expected complex. The reaction intermediates, the cations 95 and 96 in the preparation of poly(phenylene vinylene) (PPV) also provided a source for interaction with crown ethers [70], The solution polymerization of precursor 95 in the presence of crown ethers followed by transformation of 96 produced polyrotaxanes 97. 

Whereas the structures of low molar-mass rotaxanes can be directly proved by NMR chemical shift changes, mass spectrometry, and X-ray crystallography [6-8], the formation of polyrotaxanes is much more difficult to prove because of their highly complicated structures.

The altered environment of the dmg molecules leads to changes in stability. The cyclodextrins catalyse a number of chemical reactions such as hydrolysis, oxidation and decarboxylation. Although interactions between dmgs and cyclodextrins have been mostly the result of deliberate attempts to modify the behaviour or properties of the dmg, they are included here to illustrate an additional mode of interaction with other 

Following the kinetic and mechanistic study of several steps in the [Fe(NCMe)6] -trimethyl phosphite system some years ago, there has recently been a study of the stepwise replacement of pyridine in [Fe(py)6] by trimethyl phosphite. Although stopped-flow techniques were needed to investigate the early stages, the half-life for conversion of [Fe(py)3(P OMe 3)3] into cis-[Fe(py)2(P OMe 3)4] is a few hours, for further substitution several days. Irradiation of an acetonitrile solution of [Fe(CNMe)4(CN)2] either in the charge-transfer or ligand-field band leads to the successive replacement of two of the four isocyanide ligands by acetonitrile.  

Substitution at fran5-[FeH(X)(diphosphine)2] in THF solution in the presence of HX (X = Cl or Br) takes place by pathways which depend on the nature of the phosphine. Thus dppe allows a ring-opening path way with reversible proto-

Three further papers have appeared on the reaction of polyaminocarboxyl-ato-iron(III) complexes with cyanide. In all cases the reaction sequence involves a final redox step, in which liberated ligand reduces intermediate cyano-iron(III) species to hexacyanoferrate(II). The ligands involved are N-(2-hydroxyethyl)iminodiacetate, triethylenetetraminehexaacetate, and 2-hydroxytrimethylenediaminetetraacetate both in mononuclear and in binuclear complexes. 

The yellow acetylacetonate contains octahedrally coordinated rhodium (Rh-O 1.992 A O-Rh-O 95.3°) [83]. 

The corresponding tri- and hexa-fluoroacetylacetonates may be similarly prepared. The stability of the acetylacetonate is such that not only can it be resolved on passage through a column of D-lactose, but the enantiomers retain their integrity on nitration or bromination. 

The rate law for the reaction of the S-bonded thiocyanato-complex [Fe(CN)5(SCN)] with hydroxide ion suggests two parallel paths. The first is a D or 5 Nl(lim) path, with an [Fe(CN)6] intermediate discriminating between hydroxide ion and thiocyanate ion. The second path is thought to involve the intermediacy either of [Fe(CN)5(OH)(SCN)] or of [Fe(CN)6(NCS)] . An S Nlcb process is, of course, precluded here. The reactions of optically 

Ruthenium. The activation enthalpy for base hydrolysis of [Ru(NO)(OH)Cl4] is 24.4 kcal mol and that of [Ru(NO)Cl5] is 27.5 kcal mol. The overall reaction of the trinuclear cation [(H3N)5Ru 0 Ru(NH3)4 0-Ru(NHs)5] in basic solution is a redox process, with the evolution of oxygen, but the ratedetermining step is attack of hydroxide ion at the central ruthenium atom, for which the activation enthalpy is 19 kcal mol .  

The rate law, rate constants, and activation parameters have been established for the base hydrolysis of the fm 5 -[Rh(en)2(OH)I]+ cation. It appears from these results that the intrinsic kinetic trans effect of a hydroxo-ligand is very similar to that of chloride in this type of rhodium(iii) complex.Base hydrolysis of c/5 -[Rh(bipy)2Cl2]+ or of its phen analogue is normally very slow, but is considerably catalysed by the presence of reducing agents such as ethanol or hydrazine. This behaviour is reminiscent of substitution at trfl -[Rh(py)4Cla]+.  

Iridium. Activation parameters have been determined for the base hydrolysis of [Ir(NH3)sX] +, where X = Cl, Br, or NO3 (Table 17). Base-hydrolysis

To separate the non-bonded forces into near, medium, and far zones, pair distance separations are used for the van der Waals forces, and box separations are used for the electrostatic forces in the Fast Multipole Method,[24] since the box separation is a more convenient breakup in the Fast Multipole Method (FMM). Using these subdivisions of the force, the propagator can be factorized according to the different intrinsic time scales of the various components of the force. This approach can be used for other complex systems involving long range forces. 

Nitronium salts are colourless, crystalline and very hygroscopic nitronium perchlorate and sulphate are unstable and liable to spontaneous decomposition, whereas nitronium tetrafluoroborate and other complex fluoro-salts are relatively stable. 

Covalent synthesis of complex molecules involves the reactive assembly of many atoms into subunits with aid of reagents and estabUshed as well as innovative reaction pathways. These subunits are then subjected to various reactions that will assemble the target molecule. These reaction schemes involve the protection of certain sensitive parts of the molecule while other parts are being reacted. Very complex molecules can be synthesized in this manner. A prime example of the success of this approach is the total synthesis of palytoxin, a poisonous substance found in marine soft corals (35). Other complex molecules synthesized by sequential addition of atoms and blocks of atoms include vitamin potentially anticancer KH-1 adenocarcinoma antigen,...

Tannate Complexation. Certain dmgs, those that contain amine groups, complex readily with tannic acid. Such complexes release the dmg gradually and uniformly. The rate seems to be affected by the pH and the electrolytes present in the gastrointestinal tract. At lower pH, the dmg is released more quickly. Other complexing compounds have also been used. 

Certain neutral technetium complexes can be used to image cerebral perfusion (Fig. 4). Those in Figure 4a and 4b have been approved for clinical use. Two other complexes (Fig. 4c and 4d) were tested in early clinical trials, but were not developed further. An effective cerebral perfusion agent must first cross the blood brain barrier and then be retained for the period necessary for image acquisition. Tc-bicisate is retained owing to a stereospecific hydrolysis in brain tissue of one of the ester groups to form the anionic complex TcO(ECD) , which does not cross the barrier. This mechanism of retention is termed metaboHc trapping. 

Silver Bromide. Silver bromide, AgBr, is formed by the addition of bromide ions to an aqueous solution of silver nitrate. The light yellow to green-yeUow precipitate is less soluble in ammonia than silver chloride, but it easily dissolves in the presence of other complexing agents, such as thiosulfate ions. 

Other complex thiosulfates have been prepared to study crystal properties, eg, cadmium ammonium thiosulfates (90), NaAgS202 H2O [37954-66-8] (91), I C2Mg(S203)2 -6H20 [64153-76-0] (92), and (NH 2[Ag(S203)JCl2 [12040-89-0] (93).

The majority of U(V1) coordination chemistry has been explored with the trans-ddo s.o uranyl cation, UO " 2- The simplest complexes are ammonia adducts, of importance because of the ease of their synthesis and their versatihty as starting materials for other complexes. In addition to ammonia, many of the ligand types mentioned ia the iatroduction have been complexed with U(V1) and usually have coordination numbers of either 6 or 8. As a result of these coordination environments a majority of the complexes have an octahedral or hexagonal bipyramidal coordination environment. Examples iuclude U02X2L (X = hahde, OR, NO3, RCO2, L = NH3, primary, secondary, and tertiary amines, py n = 2-4), U02(N03)2L (L = en, diamiaobenzene n = 1, 2). The use of thiocyanates has lead to the isolation of typically 6 or 8 coordinate neutral and anionic species, ie, [U02(NCS)J j)/H20 (x = 2-5). 

The Tj-carbides are not specifically synthesized, but are of technical importance, occurring in alloy steels, stelUtes, or as embrittling phases in cemented carbides. Other complex carbides in the form of precipitates may form in multicomponent alloys or in high temperature reactor fuels by reaction between the fission products and the moderator graphite, ie, pyrographite-coated fuel kernels. 

Other complexing agents sometimes advocated are cryptates, especially the compound dubbed [2.2.2] (Kryptofix 222) [23978-09-8] (see Chelating agents). Crown ethers were originally advocated for reactions in the presence of soHd reagents (Uquid-soHd PTC). It is now known, however, that onium salts are equally suitable in many cases. 

After preparing a homogeneous solution of the precursors, powder precipitation is accompHshed through the addition of at least one complexing ion. For PLZT, frequently OH in the form of ammonium hydroxide is added as the complexing anion, which results in the formation of an amorphous, insoluble PLZT-hydroxide. Other complexing species that are commonly used are carbonate and oxalate anions. CO2 gas is used to form carbonates. Irrespective of the complexing anion, the precipitated powders are eventually converted to the desired crystalline oxide phase by low temperature heat treatment. 

Step 4 deals with physical and chemical properties of compounds and mixtures. Accurate physical and chemical properties ate essential to achieve accurate simulation results. Most simulators have a method of maintaining tables of these properties as well as computet routines for calculations for the properties by different methods. At times these features of simulators make them suitable or not suitable for a particular problem. The various simulators differ ia the number of compounds ia the data base number of methods for estimating unknown properties petroleum fractions characterized electrolyte properties handled biochemical materials present abiUty to handle polymers and other complex materials and the soflds, metals, and alloys handled.

For any adsubble method, if the material to be removed (termed the colligend) is not itself surface-active, a suitable surfactant (termed the collector) may be added to unite with it and attach or adsorb it to the bubble surface so that it may be removed (Sebba, Ion Flotation, Elsevier, New York, 1962). The union between colligend and collector may be by chelation or other complex formation. Alternatively, a charged colhgend may be removed through its attraction toward a collector of opposite charge.

It should probably also be noted before closing this section that 18-crown-6 and some of its aliphatic relatives have been found to form quite a variety of complexes or solvates with neutral molecules. We have noted the formation of an acetonitrile sol-vate . Although the other complexes are generally beyond the scope of the present work, we wish to call attention to their existence so that the worker attempting to improve purification procedures will check the literature for his particular method. This is especially important since a number of the solvates are found, to our knowledge, only in the patent literature. 

The copper complex is very stable at neutral pH, but it fades very rapidly in the presence of hydrogen ions. Other complex formers such as tartaric acid or citric acid and thiourea interfere with the reaction and, therefore, should not be included in mobile phases used for the separation of amino acids [3].
