Subgroups, compounds

A very productive strategy for the synthesis of glass-forming materials is the use of highly branched rigid structures. As a suitable center for starburst molecules with a threefold symmetry, triarylamine or benzene are used most frequently. Due to the large number of starburst molecules described in the literature, we divide this class into two subgroups, compounds based on the triarylamine and the benzene centers.

In this review compounds of metals of the main groups are discussed systematically according to the Periodic Table, and this is followed by a survey of fluorocarbon derivatives of the transition metals and the zinc subgroup. Compounds of boron and silicon will be considered even though these elements are not metals in the real sense of the term. Nevertheless, studies on fluorocarbon derivatives of boron and silicon established important principles applicable to fluorocarbon-metal compounds in general, and, moreover, surveys of organometallic chemistry customarily discuss boron and silicon compounds. Compounds of the heavier Group V elements are not reviewed, principally because of the availability of fairly up to date surveys (5, 5a). The review is concluded with some remarks about spectroscopic studies. 

Zirconium [7440-67-7] is classified ia subgroup IVB of the periodic table with its sister metallic elements titanium and hafnium. Zirconium forms a very stable oxide. The principal valence state of zirconium is +4, its only stable valence in aqueous solutions. The naturally occurring isotopes are given in Table 1. Zirconium compounds commonly exhibit coordinations of 6, 7, and 8. The aqueous chemistry of zirconium is characterized by the high degree of hydrolysis, the formation of polymeric species, and the multitude of complex ions that can be formed. 

Amongst the catalysts used or the polymerisation-trimerisation reactions are alkali metal phenolates, alcoholates and carboxylates and compounds containing o-(dimethylaminomethyl)phenol subgroups. Fluorocarbons such as trichloro-fluoromethanes are used as the sole blowing agents in the absence of any isocyanate-water reaction. 

The second subgroup are anaerobes, which oxidize organics in the absence of dissolved oxygen. This is accomplished by using the oxygen which is found in other compounds (such as nitrate and sulfate). Anaerobic behavior can be described by the following reactions ... 

The diazonio group in an arenediazonium salt can be replaced by one of several transition metal ions in subgroups lb (Cu), Illb (Tl), IVb (Ge, Sn, Pb), or Vb (P, As, Sb, Bi) or by certain compounds of the transition elements. There is only one report of a substitution by a main group metal, magnesium, but the primary product has not been clearly identified (Nesmeyanov and Makarova, 1959).
