Solutions of metals

Charge-Transfer Salts. Most charge-transfer salts can be prepared by direct mixing of donors and acceptors in solution. Semiconducting salts of TCNQ have been prepared with a variety of both organic and inorganic counterions. Simple salts of the type TCNQ can be obtained by direct reaction of a metal such as copper or silver with TCNQ in solution. Solutions of metal iodides can be used in place of the metals, and precipitation of the TCNQ salt occur direcdy (24). 

Consistent with this, experiments using HS" labelled with radioactive (p. 661) show that acid hydrolysis of the 8203 produces elemental sulfur in which two-thirds of the activity is concentrated. Thiosulfates can also he made by boiling aqueous solutions of metal sulfites (or hydrogen sulfites) with elemental sulfur according to the stoichiometry... 

Cu(OAc), H20 (0.75 g, 3.7 mmol) was added to a refluxing solution of metal-free 1,4,8,11.15,18,22,25-octa(propyloxy)phthalocyanine (0.1 g, 0.1 mmol) in BuOH (5 mL). The solution was maintained at reflux for 0.5 h, cooled, and chromatographed (silica gel, CH2C12 and Et20). The green-blue fraction eluted first was crystallized from a slowly evaporating solution in CH2Cl2/py yield 0.086 g (81 %).

It is expected, therefore, that the cyclic hexamer also exhibits a characteristic tendency to complex with cations. In fact, the addition of an acetonitrile solution of metal thiocyanates to a solution of the cyclic hexamer in the same solvent shifted the carbonyl absorption to a lower wave number46,52 The shift values depended upon the kind of metal ions present, and the largest shift value of 40 cm-1 was observed for barium thiocyanate (molar ratio of Ba2+/hexamer = 10). In addition to the shift of the carbonyl absorption, the intensities of the C—O-C stretching vibrations around 1200 cm-1 varied appreciably. 

Sol-gel chemistry offers a unique advantage in the creation of novel organic-inorganic hybrids. The sol-gel process begins with a solution of metal alkoxide precursors [M(0/f) ] and water, where M is a network-forming element, and R is typically an alkyl group. Hydrolysis and...

The preparation method of perovskite-type oxides was taken from the previous paper[4]. Malic acid was added into mixed aqueous solution of metal nitrates in a desired proportion so as for the molar ratio of malic... 

Aqueous standard solutions are a source of certain difficulties In electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry of trace metals In biological fluids The viscosities and surface tensions of aqueous standard solutions are substantially less than the viscosities and surface tensions of serum, blood and other proteln-contalnlng fluids These factors Introduce volumetric disparities In pipetting of standard solutions and body fluids, and also cause differences In penetration of these liquids Into porous graphite tubes or rods Preliminary treatment of porous graphite with xylene may help to minimize the differences of liquid penetration (53,67) A more satisfactory solution of this problem Is preparation of standards In aqueous solutions of metal-free dextran (50-60 g/llter), as first proposed by Pekarek et al ( ) for the standardization of serum chromium analyses This practice has been used successfully by the present author for standardization of analyses of serum nickel The standard solutions which are prepared In aqueous dextran resemble serum In regard to viscosity and surface tension Introduction of dextran-contalnlng standard solutions Is an Important contribution to electrothermal atomic absorption analysis of trace metals In body fluids. 

Now, suppose that we have a solid solution of two (2) elemental solids. Would the point defects be the same, or not An easy way to visualize such point defects is shown in the following diagram, given as 3.1.3. on the next page. It is well to note here that homogeneous lattices usually involve metals or solid solutions of metals (alloys) in contrast to heterogeneous lattices which involve compounds such as ZnS. 

Oxysalt bonded cements are formed by acid-base reactions between a metal oxide in powdered solid form and aqueous solutions of metal chloride or sulphate. These reactions typically give rise to non-homo-geneous materials containing a number of phases, some of which are crystalline and have been well-characterized by the technique of X-ray diffraction. The structures of the components of these cements and the phase relationships which exist between them are complex. However, as will be described in the succeeding parts of this chapter, in many cases there is enough knowledge about these cements to enable their properties and limitations to be generally understood. 

CFPs are ideal supports to be metalated on chemical bases. One of the simplest ways is the treatment of the CFP with solutions of metal compounds. Under these conditions, metalation requires the previous swelling of the resin, the introduction of a metal precursor and the... 

Two kinds of solid solutions crystallize, a solution of metal 1 in metal 2 and vice versa (limited miscibility). 

The objective of this chapter is to compile work related to the beginning of sonochemical research and its extension to the aqueous solutions of metal ions. Ultrasound propagation in aqueous salt solutions leads to the hydrolysis, reduction, complexation, decomplexation and crystallization. Such works from different laboratories, along with the effect of dissolved gases on the production of free radicals in water and aqueous solutions upon sonication has been reviewed in this chapter. The generation of turbidity, due to the formation of metal hydroxides and changes in the conductivity of these aqueous solutions, carried out in this laboratory, has also been reported, to give firsthand information of the ultrasound interaction of these solutions. 

The bacterial resistance of silk fibroin can be improved by treatment at low pH values in aqueous solutions of metal ions and at high pH values in solutions of metal-amine complexes, using untreated silk or silk pretreated with an aqueous solution of tannic acid (10.183). Suitable metals include Cu, Zn, Ni, Fe and Ag [533]. It is to be expected that treatment with such metal compounds will be subject to restrictions in environmentally sensitive areas. 

Carbon disulfide and aqueous solutions of metal azides interact to produce metal azidodithioformates, most of which are explosive with varying degrees of power and sensitivity to shock or heat. 

According to Cairns-Smith, the first primitive gene materials could have been clay minerals these crystallize out everywhere on Earth from dilute silica solutions and hydrated solutions of metal ions. Both groups of substances are continually being formed by weathering processes. Two cycles keep this dynamic process going ...

The structure of the metal particles dispersed on a silica powder support ( Aerosil 380, 70 A average silica particle diameter) has been studied by Avery and Sanders (47) using electron microscopy in both bright and dark field, to determine the extent to which the metal particles were multiply twinned or of ideal structure. Platinum, palladium, and gold were examined. These catalysts were prepared by impregnation using an aqueous solution of metal halide derivatives, were dried at 100°-150°C, and were hydrogen... 

An idea to use polybasic hydroxy carboxylic acids in syntheses of oxides goes back to Pechini [3], Evaporating solutions of metal salts in citric acid at presence of ethylene glycol he obtained a polymeric resin as a precursor of target oxides. Then this process was extensively used to manufacture various ceramic oxide powders in several publications [4-8],... 

The formation of solid solutions of metals is one way to change the properties (generally to increase strength) of the metals. Strengthening metals in this way is known as solid solution strengthening. The ability of two metals to form a solid solution can be predicted by a set of rules known as the Hume-Rothery rules, which can be stated as follows ... 

While the mole fraction is a natural measure of composition for solutions of metallic elements or alloys, the mole fraction of each molecule is chosen as the measure of composition in the case of solid or liquid mixtures of molecules.1 In ionic solutions cations and anions are not randomly mixed but occupy different sub-lattices. The mole fractions of the atoms are thus an inconvenient measure of composition for ionic substances. Since cations are mixed with cations and anions are mixed with anions, it is convenient for such materials to define composition in terms of ionic fractions rather than mole fractions. In a mixture of the salts AB and AC, where A is a cation and B and C are anions, the ionic fractions of B and C are defined through... 

The clusters described so far have in common, that the number of metal atoms is less or equal than the number of substituents. However, there is a still growing number of both neutral and anionic clusters in which the number of metal atoms is larger than the number of substituents. As a consequence, these metal-rich clusters contain naked metal centers which are only bonded to other metal centers. Schnockel referred these ones to as metalloid clusters. Several metalloid A1 and Ga clusters were prepared by standard salt elimination reactions using metastable solutions of metal subhalides MX (M = Al, Ga X = Cl, Br) as well as solutions of Gal. Since the metal subhalides were found to play the key role for the successful synthesis of this particular class of compounds, they will be discussed first. (For excellent review articles see Refs 273 and 274.)...
