Stoichiometry oxidation states

In this phase of the study emphasis has been placed on several properties which can be directly related to catalytic activity stoichiometry, oxidation state, and dispersion. Since most carbonyl complexes are coordinatively saturated, it is clear that ligands must dissociate to develop active sites. Further, since the adsorption of CO(g) is quite small on the supports and CO is a rather stable molecule, it follows that the development of... 

Derek W. Smith has suggested qirite appropriately, however [21], that a modem Periodic Table should emphasise relationships among elements having similar (at least superficially) atomic electron configurations, inviting comparisons among stoichiometries/oxidation states/valences/coordination numbers (see JCE, 2005, 82, 1202). H and C are not comparable in this way. ... 

Oxidation states can be used to establish the stoichiometry for an equation. Consider the reaction between the manganate(VII) (permanganate) and ethanedioate (oxalate) ions in acidic solution. Under these conditions the MnO faq) ion acts as an oxidising agent and it is reduced to Mn (aq), i.e. 

An additional problem is encountered when the isolated solid is non-stoichiometric. For example, precipitating Mn + as Mn(OH)2, followed by heating to produce the oxide, frequently produces a solid with a stoichiometry of MnO ) where x varies between 1 and 2. In this case the nonstoichiometric product results from the formation of a mixture of several oxides that differ in the oxidation state of manganese. Other nonstoichiometric compounds form as a result of lattice defects in the crystal structure. ... 

The only crystalline phase which has been isolated has the formula Pu2(OH)2(SO )3(HaO). The appearance of this phase is quite remarkable because under similar conditions the other actinides which have been examined form phases of different composition (M(OH)2SOit, M=Th,U,Np). Thus, plutonium apparently lies at that point in the actinide series where the actinide contraction influences the chemistry such that elements in identical oxidation states will behave differently. The chemistry of plutonium in this system resembles that of zirconium and hafnium more than that of the lighter tetravalent actinides. Structural studies do reveal a common feature among the various hydroxysulfate compounds, however, i.e., the existence of double hydroxide bridges between metal atoms. This structural feature persists from zirconium through plutonium for compounds of stoichiometry M(OH)2SOit to M2 (OH) 2 (S0O 3 (H20) i,. Spectroscopic studies show similarities between Pu2 (OH) 2 (SOO 3 (H20) i, and the Pu(IV) polymer and suggest that common structural features may be present. 

The postulation of the +4 oxidation state of cobalt is necessary to account for the retarding influence of Pb(II). The existence of a dimeric species of Co(II) acetate is required by the rate law and is confirmed by spectrophotometric and solubility measurements. The existence of ionic species of the reactants is inferred by the rate increase on addition of sodium acetate, an observation which cannot be attributed to a salt effect because sodium perchlorate produces a rate decrease. On this scheme an explanation of the effect of water on the stoichiometry is that the step... 

The so-called formal oxidation number is the widest known operational concept for oxidation state. This number can be determined from the stoichiometry of the compound by some simple mles (the oxidation number of O and H being — 2 and + 1, respectively the sum of the oxidation numbers is equal to the total charge of the species under consideration). The statement that the formal oxidation number of Cu in CUCI2 is + 2 was theoretically significant in a simple but obsolete bonding model in which CuC was thought to be composed of isolated Cu and Cl" ions. 

Depending on the fabrication techniques and deposition parameters, the pH sensitive slope of IrOx electrodes varies from near-Nemstian (about 59 mV/pH) to super-Nemstian (about 70mV/pH or higher). Since the compounds in the oxide layers are possibly mixed in stoichiometry and oxidation states, most reported iridium oxide reactions use x, y in the chemical formulas, such as lr203 xH20 and IrOx(OH)y. Such mixed oxidation states in IrOx compounds may induce more H+ ion transfer per electron, which has been attributed to causing super-Nerstian pH responses [41],... 

Evidently, the most interesting materials are those in a fractional oxidation state, with general formula (cation)[M(dmit)2] (n > 1), since they can exhibit both electrical and magnetic properties. Only eight such complexes have been reported so far. All of them but (BDTA)[Ni(dmit)2]2 [89] have been obtained as powders. They have in general been poorly characterized, and their stoichiometries have been determined from elemental analysis. Among these powdered compounds, the... 

Stable nucleophilic carbenes are capable of forming isolable complexes with a variety of main group species in oxidation states ranging from +1 to +6. The majority of the complexes that have been reported thus far possess 1 1 stoichiometry however, there are several instances of 2 1 complexation and one example of a 3 1 complex. Although, in principle, it is possible to write double-bonded (carbene)C = EX canonical forms to describe the interactions between carbenes and main group entities (EXJ, in the stable nucleophilic carbene complexes considered here the bonding is predominantly of the...
