Proton 15 Silver

An acidimetric quantitative determination is based on treatment of the hydantoia with silver nitrate and pyridine ia aqueous solution. Complexation of the silver ion at N-3 Hberates a proton, and the pyridinium ions thus formed are titrated usiag phenolphthaleia as an iadicator. In a different approach, the acidity of N-3—H is direcdy determined by neutralization with tetrabutylammonium hydroxide or sodium methoxide ia dimethylformarnide. 

The side-chain chlorine contents of benzyl chloride, benzal chloride, and benzotrichlorides are determined by hydrolysis with methanolic sodium hydroxide followed by titration with silver nitrate. Total chlorine determination, including ring chlorine, is made by standard combustion methods (55). Several procedures for the gas chromatographic analysis of chlorotoluene mixtures have been described (56,57). Proton and nuclear magnetic resonance shifts, characteristic iafrared absorption bands, and principal mass spectral peaks have been summarized including sources of reference spectra (58). Procedures for measuring trace benzyl chloride ia air (59) and ia water (60) have been described. 

Another route to the amido complexes originates from [(>j-Tp )W(CO) (PhC=CMe)(OTf)l and benzylamine and yields [(i -Tp )W(CO)(PhC=CMe) (NHCH2Ph)] (96JA6916). The latter can be protonated with tetrafluoroboric acid to give the amine derivative [(> -Tp )W(CO)(PhC=CMe)(NH2CH2Ph)](Bp4), and this process can be reversed by -butyllithium. Hydride abstraction by silver tetrafiuoroborate, molecular iodine, or PhsCPEe leads to the cationic imine derivatives [(> -Tp )W(CO)(PhC=CMe)(HN=CHPh)]". -Butyllithium deproto-nates the product and gives the neutral azavinylidene species [(> -Tp )W(CO) (PhC=CMe)(N=CHPh)]. The latter with silver tetrafiuoroborate forms the cationic nitrile species [(j -Tp )W(CO)(PhC=CMe)(N=CPh)](Bp4).

Silver oxide acts by exchanging hydroxide ion for iodide ion in the quatei nary salt, thus providing the base necessary to cause elimination. The acluE elimination step is an 0,2 reaction (Section 11.8) in which hydroxide ioi removes a proton at the same time that the positively charged nitrogen atom leaves. 

Alkylation of protonated nitrogen heterocycles (e.g., pyridines, quinolines) can be accomplished by treatment with a carboxylic acid, silver nitrate, sulfuric acid, and ammonium peroxydisulfate. The R group can be primary, secondary, or tertiary. The attacking species is R% formed by " ... 

The field of reduction is much less well charted than that of oxidation but a substantial literature exists nonetheless and is growing rapidly. Reductions are conveniently classified into (/) those involving and initial electron acceptance by the substrate (possibly followed by rapid protonation) and ( ) those involving electron acceptance concerted with, or followed very rapidly by, homolysis of the substrate the latter includes the important Fenton and silver-persulphate reactions, as well as reductions of halogens, hydrazine and possibly NO3 and NOJ. 

Electrodes of the first kind have only limited application to titration in non-aqueous media a well-known example is the use of a silver electrode in the determination of sulphides and/or mercaptans in petroleum products by titration in methanol-benzene (1 1) with methanolic silver nitrate as titrant. As an indicator electrode of the second kind the antimony pH electrode (or antimony/antimony trioxide electrode) may be mentioned its standard potential value depends on proton solvation in the titration medium chosen cf., the equilibrium reaction on p. 46). 

Many carbonyl and carbonyl metallate complexes of the second and third row, in low oxidation states, are basic in nature and, for this reason, adequate intermediates for the formation of metal— metal bonds of a donor-acceptor nature. Furthermore, the structural similarity and isolobal relationship between the proton and group 11 cations has lead to the synthesis of a high number of cluster complexes with silver—metal bonds.1534"1535 Thus, silver(I) binds to ruthenium,15 1556 osmium,1557-1560 rhodium,1561,1562 iron,1563-1572 cobalt,1573 chromium, molybdenum, or tungsten,1574-1576 rhe-nium, niobium or tantalum, or nickel. Some examples are shown in Figure 17. 

Carbene complexes have also been prepared by transmetallation reactions. Lithiated azoles react with gold chloride compounds and after protonation or alkylation the corresponding dihydro-azol-ylidene compounds, e.g., (381) or (382), are obtained.22 9-2264 Silver salts of benz-imidazol have also been used to obtain carbene derivatives.2265 Mononuclear gold(I) carbene complexes also form when trimeric gold(I) imidazolyl reacts with ethyl chlorocarbonate or ethyl idodate.2266,2267 The treatment of gold halide complexes with 2-lithiated pyridine followed by protonation or alkylation also yields carbene complexes such as (383).2268 Some of these carbene complexes show luminescent properties.2269-2271...
