Square brackets compounds

In modern usage, a complex is any species involving coordination of ligands to a metal center. The metal center can be an atom or an ion, and the complex can be a cation, an anion, or a neutral molecule. In a chemical formula, a complex—a metal center and attached ligands—is set off by square brackets, [ ]. Compounds that are complexes or contain complex ions are known as coordination compounds. 

In empirical formulas of inorganic compounds, electropositive elements are listed first [3]. The stoichiometry of the element symbols is indicated at the lower right-hand side by index numbers. If necessary, the charges of ions are placed at the top right-hand side next to the element symbol (e.g., S "). In ions of complexes, the central atom is specified before the ligands are listed in alphabetical order, the complex ion is set in square brackets (e.g., Na2[Sn(OH)+]). 

Free Radicals. In the formula of a polyatomic radical an unpaired electron(s) is(are) indicated by a dot placed as a right superscript to the parentheses (or square bracket for coordination compounds). In radical ions the dot precedes the charge. In structural formulas, the dot may be placed to indicate the location of the unpaired electron(s).

In C07c 45/50, the first four characters iadicate section C (chemistry). Class 07 (organic chemistry), and subclass c (acycHc compounds) the number 45 /00 iadicates the preparation of compounds having carbonyl groups bound only to carbon or hydrogen atoms by any method and 45 /50...

Addition of the (l-silylalkyne)titanium complex to carbonyl compounds and imines occurs at the (3-position to the silyl group, as shown in Fig. 9.2. However, the reaction with sBuOH takes place exclusively at the carbon—titanium bond a to the silyl group to give the (P-silylalkenyl)titanium species, as in Eq. 9.5 (values in square brackets denote the regioselectivity) [24], where the vinyl—titanium bond is visualized by the outcome of the iodi-nolysis. The overall reaction can therefore be regarded as the hydrotitanation of silylace-... 

Coordination compounds contain a complex. In general, a complex may be recognized because it is enclosed in square brackets [ ]. The square brackets are omitted when the actual structure of the complex is uncertain. 

When a reaction occurs between gaseous species or in solution, chemists usually express the reaction rate as a change in the concentration of the reactant or product per unit time. Recall, from your previous chemistry course, that the concentration of a compound (in mol/L) is symbolized by placing square brackets, [ ], around the chemical formula. The equation below is the equation you will work with most often in this section. 

In this reaction, the crystal stmcture of each compound has been noted in the square brackets. An interesting feature of the compounds on the right-hand side is that neither of them is in the crystal structure that is the stable structure at ambient conditions. MgO, for example, prefers the NaCl structure at ambient conditions (i.e., the same crystal structure as everyday table salt). The behavior of Si02 is similar but more complicated this compound goes through several intermediate structures between ambient conditions and the conditions relevant for MgSi03 dissociation. These transformations in the structures of MgO and Si02 allow an important connection to be made between DFT calculations and experiments since these transformations occur at conditions that can be directly probed in laboratory experiments. The transition pressures... 

Square brackets indicate that the compound was the sole source of this group, so that there is necessarily a fit between observed and estimated data... 

Coordination compounds. [In the formula of a coordination entity.] the symbol of the central atom(s) is placed first, followed by the ionic and then the neutru] ligands. Square brackets are used to enclose the whole coordination entity whether charged or not. This practice need not be used for simple species such us the common oxoanions (NO, NOT, SO -, OH-, etc.). Enclosing marks are nested within the square brackets as follows [()]. U<) , [()]>]. [( [()] ]]. etc. 

Compounds of known composition but uncertain polymeric structure can be conveniently named by selecting a suitable subunit and prefixing poly to the compositional coordination name of the subunit. Bridging and other bonding notations are not generally employed, unless limited bonding and specific structural detail is known about the internal structure of the polymer subunit. The poly prefix is not italicized and the name of the subunit given after poly is enclosed in square brackets. For examples see Table 23. 

Orf/io-fused and ortho- and pen-fused ring compounds containing hetero atoms are named according to the fusion principle described in Rule A-21 for hydrocarbons. The components are named according to Rules A-21, B-l and B-2. When the name of a component in a fusion name contains locants (numerals or letters) that do not apply also to the numbering of the fused system, these locants are placed in square brackets (as are also the locants for fusion positions required by Rule A-21.5). The base component should be a heterocyclic system. If there is a choice, the base component should be, by order of preference ... 

In a compound name for a fusion prefix when more than one pair of square brackets is required), the points of fusion in the compound prefix are indicated by the use of unprimed and primed numbers, the unprimed numbers being assigned to the ring attached directly to the base component, thus ...

A complex compound is compound formed between reactants of which the valencies are already formally saturated, e.g. CoCl2 + 2 Et4N+Cl v (Et4N)2[CoCl4]. All three compounds are stable individually. We generally use square brackets to denote the coordination complex.
