Sulfur oxygen halides

In 1967, Sanderson published a textbook with a unique chart of the elements, and related charts for hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur, halide, methyl, ethyl, and phenyl compounds. Shchukarev (1970,1974) published scores of elaborate graphs for classes of molecules (such as oxides of nitrogen) showing how values of molecular properties... 

Phosphoms shows a range of oxidation states from —3 to +5 by virtue of its electronic configuration. Elemental P is oxidized easily by nonmetals such as oxygen, sulfur, and halides to form compounds such as 2 5 2 5 reduced upon reaction with metals to generate phosphides. The... 

Oxidizing elements such as oxygen, sulfur, and halides react with zinc at room temperature in the presence of moisture, but do not in its absence. At higher temperature, the reactions can be vigorous even when dry. Eor instance, a powdered mixture of zinc and sulfur explodes if warmed and zinc reacts... 

Sulfur oxides produce sulphurous/sulfuric acid. Because oxygen and halides are often also present, high-nickel alloys are required.

It is easy to reduce anhydrous rare-earth halides to the metal by reaction of more electropositive metals such as calcium, lithium, sodium, potassium, and aluminum. Electrolytic reduction is an alternative in the production of the light lanthanide metals, including didymium, a Nd—Pr mixture. The rare-earth metals have a great affinity for oxygen, sulfur, nitrogen, carbon, silicon, boron, phosphorus, and hydrogen at elevated temperature and remove these elements from most other metals. 

The reactivity of the compounds is rather limited. For example, benzazaphospholes are not attacked by dilute aqueous acids and bases, oxygen, sulfur or alkyl halides. The coordinating abilities, metalation and interaction of the so formed ambi-dent anion with acyl halides is demonstrated in Scheme 3 (4).

The alkyl halides (halogenoalkanes), thiols and amines are at the same oxidation level as the alcohols, while acyl halides, thioacids and amides are similarly related to the carboxylic acids. Like oxygen, sulfur can be inserted into a chain to generate the equivalent of an ether such as the thioether...
