Many of the organic and inorganic hexafluorophosphates can be prepared by reaction of hexafluorophosphoric acid and the appropriate base. Another method involves reaction of the appropriate chloride and PCI3 with anhydrous HF (87). 

The decamethylmetallocenes of germanium, tin and lead as well as the parent metallocenes were prepared by reaction of divalent inorganic... 

EPR has been observed and studied in porous carbons by numerous authors 178-182). The carbons studied have been prepared by pyrolysis of organic material such as dextrose 180), coal 181), and natural gas or oils 181,182). Porous carbons are of considerable technological importance and show catalytic activity for the ortho-parahydrogen conversion, the hydrogen-deuterium reaction, and many reactions of inorganic complex ions 156). Relationships between the characteristics of the EPR absorption and the catalytic activity of porous carbons for the o-p Hj and Hj-D reactions have been demonstrated by Turkevich and Laroche 183). 

In general, in an electrolytic process, oxygen is evolved at the anode, and hydrogen at the cathode. If these electrodes are in different compartments, with a suitable electrolyte we may expect to have reactions of oxidation taking place in the anode compartment and reactions of reduction in the cathode compartment. In inorganic chemistry, the more successful electrolytic preparations are chiefly those of oxidation while in organic chemistry, reactions of both oxidation and reduction are often successful. In inorganic chemistry, reactions of reduction are usually effected in simple ways. The several units of the necessary apparatus are connected as shown in Fig. 10. 

In this chapter we try to classify the more important types of reactions encountered in inorganic chemistry, and describe some of their mechanisms. The emphasis is placed upon the principles which determine the stability or instability, existence and nonexistence of inorganic substances from the viewpoint of the ease or otherwise of preparing a compound, and the tendency a compound - once prepared - may have to react spontaneously to give other products. Both thermodynamic and kinetic considerations are obviously involved here. The division of material between this chapter and the next has not been easy, and there is inevitably a good deal of overlap. Coupling reactions, which might have deserved a section in this chapter, are discussed in Sections 10.5 and 10.6. 

SC-CO2 is also becoming increasingly important as reaction media [7] for a great variety of fundamental chemical reactions ranging from catalysis to polymerization, [8,9] to synthesis and growth of inorganic materials [1,2], to nanoparticle production and preparation processes [1,2,10,11], and to biotechnological applications such as activation and deactivation of enzymes [12], biomass conversion, and biocatalysis [1,2,13],...
