Subject oxide halides

Perfluoroalkyl or -aryl halides undergo oxidative addition with metal vapors to form nonsolvated fluonnated organometallic halides and this topic has been die subject of a review [289] Pentafluorophenyl halides react with Rieke nickel, cobalt, and iron to give bispentafluorophenylmetal compounds, which can be isolated in good yields as liquid complexes [290] Rieke nickel can also be used to promote the reaction of pentafluorophenyl halides with acid halides [297] (equation 193)... 

Lower oxidation states are rather sparsely represented for Zr and Hf. Even for Ti they are readily oxidized to +4 but they are undoubtedly well defined and, whatever arguments may be advanced against applying the description to Sc, there is no doubt that Ti is a transition metal . In aqueous solution Ti can be prepared by reduction of Ti, either with Zn and dilute acid or electrolytically, and it exists in dilute acids as the violet, octahedral [Ti(H20)6] + ion (p. 970). Although this is subject to a certain amount of hydrolysis, normal salts such as halides and sulfates can be separated. Zr and are known mainly as the trihalides or their derivatives and have no aqueous chemistry since they reduce water. Table 21.2 (p. 960) gives the oxidation states and stereochemistries found in the complexes of Ti, Zr and Hf along with illustrative examples. (See also pp. 1281-2.)... 

Carbonylation is an exceedingly broad subject, but the main reaction patterns can be easily rationalized by recalling the classification used earlier for coupling reactions involving (a) metallacycles (b) hydride-promoted reactions and (c) oxidative addition of organic halides to zero-valent nickel. In fact, one or other of these steps is necessary to form a species able to undergo carbonylation. 

Nitroso compounds are formed during the addition of nitrous oxide," " dinitrogen trioxide, and nitrosyl halides to alkenes, and in some cases, from incomplete oxidation of amines with peroxyacids like peroxyacetic acid. Quenching of carbanions with nitrosyl halides is also a route to nitroso compounds. A full discussion on this subject is beyond the scope of this work and so the readers are directed to the work of Boyer. ... 

Only activated aryl halides (e.g. 2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene and picryl chloride) react with pyridine, and the facility of these reactions is subject to much the same steric and electronic controls as alkylation. Picryl chloride forms characteristic yellow TV-picryl derivatives with pyridines. These have been used to help separate, purify and characterize particular liquid pyridines. Pyridine also undergoes quaternization with diphenyliodonium fluoroborate (equation 19). Treatment of pyridine 1-oxides with arenediazonium salts yields aryloxy quaternary salts (equation 20). 

More heavily alkylated ethylene oxides (Kq. 705) have also been subjected to the action of hydrogen halides.761- 18 1,5S-lW Mixtures of isomeric h lohydrins are undoubtedly produced, but precise quantitative data still remains to be aeoured. 

Binary compounds formed between metals and group 6 or group 7 elements usually occur in the form of ionic crystals rather than as isolated molecules. The most typical example is, of course, given by the alkali halides, studied by Lowdin in his classic treatise from 1948 [1], Another important class of ionic crystals, with somewhat different properties, are the metal oxides, which play a central role in many contexts in chemistry and physics. To mention only one example, their catalytic properties have long been recognized and subject to extensive study, and have given rise to numerous applications of enormous practical importance.
