For each of the oxidation states of the elements in the Oxidation States of Transition Elements activity (eChapter 20.3), identify the subshell(s) of the electrons being lost or shared. 

CO and related ligands stabilize very low oxidation states of transition elements, often zero (see below). 7i-acceptor interactions remove electron density from a metal atom and make possible a lower oxidation state than is commonly found with ligands such as water and ammonia.

Equipment using high pressures with reactive gases has been developed mainly for fundamental scientific research. The stabilization of unusual oxidation states of transition elements is one area of research involving such equipment. Specific reaction vessels with external heating have been developed to synthesize oxides which require high temperatures (Fig. 7.11). Due to the large decrease of the mechanical properties of alloys with temperature, only a limited pressure-temperature domain is available (Fig. 7.12). 

A) Oxidation states of transition elements. In four large test tubes place about 20 ml of dilute solutions of titanic chloride, ammonium metavanadate, potassium dichromate, and ammonium molybdate. Add to each about 10 ml of concentrated hydrochloric acid and several grams of granulated or mossy zinc. Set under the draft. Note all the color changes and interpret them by means of ionic equations.

Because of the differing focus of interest in these elements their chemistries have not developed in parallel and the data on which strict comparisons might be based are not always available. Nevertheless many of the similarities and contrasts expected in the chemistry of transition elements are evident in this triad. The relative stabilities of different oxidation states in aqueous, acidic solutions are summarized in Table 24.2 and Fig. 24.1. 

The most striking feature of the contrasts shown in Table 23-II is that the seventh-row elements display the multiplicity of oxidation states characteristic of transition elements rather than the drab chemistry of the +3 rare earth ions. Whereas Ce+3(aq) can be oxidized to Ce+4(aq) only with an extremely strong oxidizing agent, Th+Yaq) is the stable ion found in thorium salts and Th+3(aq) is unknown. In a similar... 

The catalysts formed by the support of organometallic compounds of transition elements are also of great interest for nonpolymerization reactions. Generally speaking, these catalysts can be used in three various states (a) in the initial state, (b) after reduction, and (c) after oxidation...

The materials for solid solutions of transition elements in j3-rh boron are prepared by arc melting the component elements or by solid-state diffusion of the metal into /3-rhombohedral (/3-rh) boron. Compositions as determined by erystal structure and electron microprobe analyses together with the unit cell dimensions are given in Table 1. The volume of the unit cell (V ) increases when the solid solution is formed. As illustrated in Fig. 1, V increases nearly linearly with metal content for the solid solution of Cu in /3-rh boron. In addition to the elements listed in Table 1, the expansion of the unit cell exceeds 7.0 X 10 pm for saturated solid solutions " of Ti, V, (2o, Ni, As, Se and Hf in /3-rh boron, whereas the increase is smaller for the remaining elements. The solubility of these elements does not exceed a few tenths at %. The microhardness of the solid solution increases with V . Boron is a brittle material, indicating the accommodation of transition-element atoms in the -rh boron structure is associated with an increase in the cohesion energy of the solid.

In the oxygen-deficient region, the predominant ionic defect is the oxygen vacancy, V". The charge neutrality in the solid is maintained by reduction of transition element in B-site to the lower valence state. This can be represented as [13] ... 

The oxidation state of +8 for ruthenium and its mate osmium is the highest oxidation state of all elements in the transition series. Ruthenium s melting point is 2,310°C, its boiling point is 3,900°C, and its density is 12.45 glcvnr .
