A comprehensive study of periodic trends in the electronic structures of transition-metal sulfides using MS-SCF-Aa calculations was undertaken by Harris (1982) and Harris and Chianelli (1984). This study employed clusters (see Chapter 6) and led to a suggestion that the... 

Periodic Trends in 3d Transition Metal Oxide Reactivity... 

Let s begin by surveying some of the key physical and chemical properties of the transition-metal elements and interpreting trends in those properties using the quantum theory of atomic structure developed in Chapter 5. We focus initially on the fourth-period elements, also called the first transition series (those from scandium through zinc in which the 3d shell is progressively filled). Then we discuss the periodic trends in the melting points and atomic radii of the second and third transition series elements. 

Because we have not studied periodic trends in properties of transition metals, it would be difficult for you to predict that Cu is more active than Ag. The fact that this reaction occurs (see Figure 4-3) shows that it is. 

Many other metals have been shown to be active in HDS catalysis, and a number of papers have been published on the study of periodic trends in activities for transition metal sulfides [15, 37-43]. Both pure metal sulfides and supported metal sulfides have been considered and experimental studies indicate that the HDS activities for the desulfurization of dibenzothiophene [37] or of thiophene [38, 39] are related to the position of the metal in the periodic table, as exemplified in Fig. 1.2 (a), 1.2 (b), and 1.2 (c). Although minor differences can be observed from one study to another, all of them agree in that second and third row metals display a characteristic volcano-type dependence of the activity on the periodic position, and they are considerably more active than their first row counterparts. Maximum activities were invariably found around Ru, Os, Rh, Ir, and this will be important when considering organometallic chemistry related to HDS, since a good proportion of that work has been concerned with Ru, Rh, and Ir complexes, which are therefore reasonable models in this sense however, Pt and Ni complexes have also been recently shown to promote the very mild stoichiometric activation and desulfurization of substituted dibenzothiophenes (See Chapter 4). 

All of the elements in the first 12 groups of the periodic table are referred to as metals. The first two groups of elements on the left-hand side of the table are the alkali metals and the alkaline earth metals. All of the alkali metals are extremely similar to each other in their chemical and physical properties, as, in turn, are all of the alkaline earths to each other. The 10 groups of elements in the middle of the periodic table are transition metals. The similarities in these groups are not as strong as those in the first two groups, but still satisfy the general trend of similar chemical and physical properties. The transition metals in the last row are not found in nature but have been synthesized artificially. The metals that follow the transition metals are called posttransition metals. 

Write electron configurations of transition metal atoms and ions compare periodic trends in atomic properties of transition elements with those of main-group elements explain why transition elements have multiple oxidation states, how their metallic behavior (type of bonding and oxide acidity) changes with oxidation state, and why many of their compounds are colored and paramagnetic ( 22.1) (SP 22.1) (EPS 22.1 -22.17)... 

Periodic Trends in the Bond Energies of Transition Metal Complexes... 

Accurate Density Functional calculations make possible today the systematic investigation of periodic trends in the bond energies of transition metal complexes. Computational results are presented for metal-metal bonds in dimers of the group 6 transition metals, metal-ligand bonds in early and late transition metal complexes, and metal-carbonyl bonds in hexa- penta- and tetra-carbonyl complexes. 

Describe the periodic trends in radii and oxidation states of the transition-metal ions, including the origin and effect of the lanthanide contraction. (Section 23.1)... 

In Chapter 3, we extend the general concepts developed in Chapter 2 on chemisorption and surface reactivity to establish a fundamental set of theoretical descriptions that describe bonding and reactivity on idealized metal substrates in Chapter 3. There is an extensive treatment of the adsorbate transition-metal surface bond, its electronic strnc-ture, bond strength and its influence on its chemical activity. Attention is given to periodic trends in the interaction energy as a function of transition metal and also on the dependence in transition-metal structure.
