Hydrazoic acid also reacts with copper, silver and mercury but in a different way it forms azides without loss of hydrogen and a considerable amount of hydrazoic acid is reduced to ammonia or hydrazine and free nitrogen. The reaction with copper recalls the action of nitric acid on this metal. 

The presence of chloro-derivatives is detectable by the reaction with copper oxide (see p. 305) or by boiling a little of the solvent with alcoholic potash potassium chloride, readily detected with silver nitrate, is thus formed. 

The ligand was then used to form a variety of transition metal carbene complexes [207] (see Figure 3.72). Interestingly, more than one method for the formation of transition metal carbene complexes was successfully employed presence of an inorganic base (IC COj) to deprotonate the imidazolium salt and the silver(I) oxide method with subsequent carbene transfer to rhodium(I), iridium(I) and copperfi), respectively. The silver(I) and copper(I) carbene complexes were used for the cyclopropanation of styrene and indene with 1,1-ethanediol diacetate (EDA) giving very poor conversion with silver (< 5%) and qnantitative yields with copper. The diastereomeric ratio (endolexo) was more favonrable with silver than with copper giving almost a pnre diastereomer for the silver catalysed reaction of indene. 

At temperatures above 300°C Holinski found that molybdenum disulphide produced embrittlement of stainless steel. He suggested that free sulphur released at these temperatures reacted with nickel in austenitic alloys to deposit nickel sulphide preferentially at grain boundaries, thus leading to a form of stress corrosion. Knappwost similarly reported that molybdenum disulphide reacted with iron at 700°C to produce ferric sulphide and free molybdenum, and Tsuya et al showed that it reacted more rapidly with iron and nickel than with silver or copper in a vacuum of 10 Torr above 500°C. The reaction with copper was in fact slow above 500°C but very rapid about 700 C. 

Very dangerous fire hazard when exposed to heat, flame, or oxidizers. Moderately explosive when exposed to heat or flame. Explodes on contact with oxygen difluoride nitrogen trichloride bromine pentafluoride chlorine trifluoride dichlorine oxide silver fulminate. Potentially explosive reaction with copper + oxygen. Explosive reaction when heated with perchloryl fluoride (above 100°C), oxygen (above 280°C). Reacts with 4-bromobenzenediazonium chloride to form an explosive product. 

Nevertheless, when Friedeberg carried out an extraction of silver using dithizone in carbon tetrachloride at pH 2, he found that copper was left in solution. Evidently, this separation is based on a slow rate of attainment of equilibrium of the reaction with copper in the presence of EDTA, for he noted that at higher concentrations the copper is extracted slowly. Friedeberg also found that EDTA prevents the extraction by dithizone of lead, zinc, bismuth, cadmium, nickel, cobalt, and thallium at any pH value. 

In 1971, Kochi reported that a catalytic silver salt induced Grignard coupling reaction with organic halides to form hydrocarbons [428,429 Eqs. (185), (186) and (187) 22,428]. However, the pair- [see Eq. (185)] and the stereoselectivity [see Eq. (187)] were not satisfactory hence, similar reactions with copper, nickel, or palladium catalysts are far more common. If a coupling reaction to be carried out involves RMgX and RX having the same R group, a silver catalyst still finds a use [Eq. (188) 430].

Stereoselective cis-dihydroxylation of the more hindered side of cycloalkenes is achieved with silver(I) or copper(II) acetates and iodine in wet acetic acid (Woodward gly-colization J.B. Siddall, 1966 L. Mangoni, 1973 R. Criegee, 1979) or with thallium(III) acetate via organothallium intermediates (E. Glotter, 1976). In these reactions the intermediate dioxolenium cation is supposed to be opened hydrolytically, not by Sn2 reaction. 

The potentiometric micro detection of all aminophenol isomers can be done by titration in two-phase chloroform-water medium (100), or by reaction with iodates or periodates, and the back-titration of excess unreacted compound using a silver amalgam and SCE electrode combination (101). Microamounts of 2-aminophenol can be detected by potentiometric titration with cupric ions using a copper-ion-selective electrode the 3- and... 

The addition of thiosulfate to aqueous solutions of silver, lead, and copper precipitates the corresponding thiosulfates, which, on heating, decompose to the sulfides. In this manner, thiosulfate can be used as a reagent for most metals having insoluble sulfides. Details of the reactions of other metals with thiosulfate are available (21). 

Attack on metals can be a function of fuel components as well as of water and oxygen. Organic acids react with cadmium plating and 2inc coatings. Traces of H2S and free sulfur react with silver used in older piston pumps and with copper used in bearings and brass fittings. Specification limits by copper and silver strip corrosion tests are requited for fuels to forestall these reactions. 

Because silver, gold and copper electrodes are easily activated for SERS by roughening by use of reduction-oxidation cycles, SERS has been widely applied in electrochemistry to monitor the adsorption, orientation, and reactions of molecules at those electrodes in-situ. Special cells for SERS spectroelectrochemistry have been manufactured from chemically resistant materials and with a working electrode accessible to the laser radiation. The versatility of such a cell has been demonstrated in electrochemical reactions of corrosive, moisture-sensitive materials such as oxyhalide electrolytes [4.299].

In the reactions of 10.13a with alkali metal terr-butoxides cage expansion occurs to give the sixteen-atom cluster 10.15, in which two molecules of MO Bu (M = Na, K) are inserted into the dimeric structure. The cluster 10.13a also undergoes transmetallation reactions with coinage metals. For example, the reactions with silver(I) or copper(I) halides produces complexes in which three of the ions are replaced by Ag" or Cu" ions and a molecule of lithium halide is incorporated in the cluster. ... 

These reactions can be viewed as a competition between two kinds of atoms (or molecules) for electrons. Equilibrium is attained when this competition reaches a balance between opposing reactions. In the case of reaction (3), copper metal reacting with silver nitrate solution, the Cu(s) releases electrons and Ag+ accepts them so readily that equilibrium greatly favors the products, Cu+2 and Ag(s). Since randomness tends to favor neither reactants nor products, the equilibrium must favor products because the energy is lowered as the electrons are transferred. If we regard reaction (5) as a competition between silver and copper for electrons, stability favors silver over copper.

Potassium peroxodisulphate (K2S2Og) also oxidizes sulphoxides to sulphones in high yield, either by catalysis with silver(I) or copper(II) salts at room temperature85 or in pH 8 buffer at 60-80 °c86-88. The latter conditions have been the subject of a kinetic study, and of the five mechanisms suggested, one has been shown to fit the experimental data best. Thus, the reaction involves the heterolytic cleavage of the peroxodisulphate to sulphur...
