Other Negative Ions

This species may be OH , halide ion, or any other negative ion, or it may be a neutral species with a pair to donate, in which case, of course, the immediate product must bear a positive charge (see Chapters 10, 13, 15, 16). These reactions are very fast. A recent study measured (the rate constant for reaction of a simple tertiary carbocation) to be 3.5 x 10 s . ... 

A positively charged AgCl particle can be discharged by ions other than those of chlorine bromine and iodine ions have the same effect. In fact, these ions are held particularly strongly by the silver ions. Now it is to be noted that other negative ions, for example NO ", can destroy the charge of a positive sol provided they are... 

This scheme has been simplified by ignoring the complexing of Fc + with OII , HO 2, or other negative ions which are known to be extensive. In addition it ignores the equilil)ria ... 

Since some gas-phase values for the affinity of these systems for electrons or other negative ions are lacking, analogous schemes for the corresponding anions arc still incomplete. Preliminary vertical affinities, /l(C2H4) = —1-78 0-1, EACCzHz) = - 2-9+ 0-2 eV ,. (CjH) = 2-50 01 and (C,H3)> 1-27 eV , as well as... 

Figure 2.2 Morse potential energy curves for the neutral and negative-ion states of anthracene. The vertical electron affinity VEa, adiabatic electron affinity AEa, and activation energy for thermal electron attachment E are shown. The two Ea are 0.68 eV and 0.53 eV observed in ECD data. There will be nine other negative ion curves, yielding a total of thirteen anion curves, four each for the different C—H bonds and a polarization curve. Some of these will be accidentally degenerate.

Attraction,by Coulomb forces does not lead to valency saturation. If a positive ion is attracted by a negative ion, that does not prevent it from being attracted to other negative ions. Thus with electrostatic attraction it is not the normal valency which is characteristic, but the number of surrounding ions. In the crystal lattice of sodium chloride, each chloride ion is surrounded by six sodium ions and in the caesium chloride lattice eight caesium ions surround one ion of chlorine. The numbers 6 and 8 bear no relationship to the number of unpaired electrons. 

Ozone Yields in Mixtures of C02 and 02. It can be inferred from the above discussion on the effect of SF6 that the charge neutralization of C02+ in pure C02 is nondissociative, possibly caused by the participation of other negative ions and/or the formation of ion clusters, e.g., C02+(C02)w. The data on ozone yields from the gas flow experiments support this inference of nondissociative charge neutralization. We argue that the limiting yield of ozone at high gas flow rates, G(03) — 4.4 is equal to the yield of an electrically neutral oxidizing species formed solely from the dissociation of electronically excited C02 molecules. 

This insoluble salt can be readily isolated by filtration, dried without decomposition by heating in a Bunsen flame, and weighed. Even though other negative ions such as the carbonate ion,, also form insoluble barium... 

Other negative ion species that are sometimes observed from nonacidic species are shown in Table 4.3. 

Rate constants in these and other negative-ion studies were determined by normalizing relative rates for the reactions in question to that for the reaction... 

The 2 and 2 profiles are completely different from other negative-ion profiles (see, e.g.. Fig. 4) and show very rapid decay rates, indicating high rates of formation to attain the high concentrations reached. 

Apatite. Calcium phosphate, CaP04 though other negative ions (F, Cl, CO3 or OH) may be present in natural rocks. Apatite is a chief constituent of bone. Apatite and hydroxyapatite (containing the OH- ion) are used in bioceramics, particularly if it is desired to achieve bone intergrowth with the artificial component or prosthesis.
