The reduction of the stannyl radical (t-Bu2MeSi)3Sn with alkali metals produces a variety of structural modifications depending on the solvent used (Scheme 2.55). Thus, in nonpolar heptane, a dimeric stannyllithium species [58c Li ]2 (E = Sn) was formed, whereas in more polar benzene, the monomeric pyramidal structure 58c [Ti -Li (C6H5)] was produced. In the latter compound the Li+ ion was covalently bonded to the anionic Sn atom being at the same time n -coordinated to the benzene ring. A similar monomeric pyramidal CIP 58c [Li (thf)2] was prepared by reduction in polar THE the addition of [2.2.2]cryptand to this compound resulted in the isolation of the free stannyl anion 58c K+([2.2.2]cryptand), in which the ion lacked its bonding to the Sn atom. ... 

An oxidation-reduction reaction has to be accompanied by a change in the oxidation state of the reactants. Sometimes, these changes aren t that obvious. It helps if you learn how to follow the oxidation states of an element during a chemical reaction. In ionic compounds, it is very obvious where the electrons have been transferred. However, in molecular compounds, electrons are being shared. Oxidation numbers are really fictitious creations that help us better understand atomic behavior. If you remember back to Chapter 6 when we discussed covalent bonds, you may recall that electrons are being shared between atoms in a covalent bond. In many cases, one atom is more electronegative than the other, resulting in a polar... 

The transition state in Su2 solvolysis is more polar than the initial state and can therefore be expected to be more heavily solvated. However this additional solvation is probably less than for mechanism Sul (Ingold, 1953d Featherstone etcd., 1963) and the more negative AS in Su2 processes is presumably a consequence of the covalent participation of water in the transition state. The results in Table 5 are consistent with the solvation model if a water molecule loses much more of its entropy when it forms a partial covalent bond than when it solvates a charged centre, while the reduction in its heat capacity is similar for the two processes. More quantitative considerations, however, require the unlikely conclusion that nearly all the entropy of water is lost when it forms a partial covalent bond with the reaction centre, but the imperfections of the model may be responsible. A detailed discussion has already been given elsewhere (Kohnstam, 1962). 

Instead, for CaCOj, Figure 4.54, the polarization in the lattice is asymmetrical a ion of carbon due to the big positive charge and the small radius, has a polarizing action much larger than the ion of Ca. As a result, the electron shell of will be deformed, meaning the movement towards in other words, the electronic density is mainly located along the bond C-0. The overlapping of valence orbital of the two ions leads to the reduction of the distance between them with the formation of a covalent bond.
