Coordination Complexes. The coordination and organometaHic chemistry of thorium is dominated by the extremely stable tetravalent ion. Except in a few cases where large and stericaHy demanding ligands are used, lower thorium oxidation states are generally unstable. An example is the isolation of a molecular Th(III) complex [107040-62-0] Th[Tj-C H2(Si(CH2)3)2]3 (25). Reports (26) on the synthesis of soluble Th(II) complexes, such as... 

In the 1890s, Nef mentioned that the functional group —NC of the isocyanides contains a divalent carbon atom C° and therefore there is a large difference between their chemistry and that of the other chemical compounds that contain only tetravalent carbon atoms Any synthesis of isocyanides corresponds to a conversion of into and all chemical reactions of isocyanides correspond to transitions of the carbon atoms C into... 

Group 14 reagents are widely used in preparative organic poly-ynyl chemistry. Typical examples include the use of trialkylsilyl moieties as protecting and stabilizing groups in poly-yne synthesis while tetravalent tin reagents have proven to be of remarkable utility in the construction of carbon—carbon bonds. ... 

The tetravalent K2K dendron 35 was synthesized from 34 on a PAM resin using Boc chemistry. The synthesis of the first level of carrier core to form Boc-Lys(Boc)-Ala-OCH2-PAM-resin was achieved using a fourfold excess of Boc-Lys(Boc)-OH-DCHA salt via BOP in CH2C12. The second level of lysine was generated by the same protocol. After Boc deprotection, tetravalent chloroacetyl moieties were introduced to the K2K dendron core by using a tenfold excess of QCH2C02H via DIC/HOBt activation. The tetravalent chloroacetyl K2K core 20c (Xaa = Ala) was cleaved from the resin by HF/anisole (9 1) and finally purified by RP-HPLC. MALDI-MS m/z [M + H]+ calcd 780.5 found 780.5 [M+Na - H]+ calcd 802.5 found 802.3. 

Selenium is more easily oxidized to selenium(rv), but the oxidation stage selenium(vi) is obtained with more difficulty than with the corresponding sulfur compounds. For example, selenuranes (tetravalent selenium compounds) are more easily obtained than the sulfur analogs. The synthesis as well as the chemistry of selected examples with selenium at higher oxidation stages is reviewed in Section 9.11.2.6. 

The generation of alkoxyl radicals from alcohols is an important process which has been used for remote functionalization via hydrogen atom abstraction and for rearrangement via -fragmentation. Hypervalent organoiodine compounds have been applied with success in this type of chemistry. More recently, tetravalent selenium compounds have been used for the same purpose [120]. An efficient way of making ether linkage from non-functionalized alcohols has been developed. The conversion of the alcohol 158 to the ether 159 is a key step in the synthesis of (-l-)-8-deoxyvernolepin [Eq. (51)] [121]. This transformation is best... 

The general area of zirconacyclopentane chemistry has been reviewed.76 Because these molecules are best viewed as zirconium or hafnium dialkyl complexes, and hence as tetravalent metal centers, this renders them beyond the scope of this review. It should be noted that these molecules display a rich reaction chemistry, serving as initiators for olefin polymerization,77-79 reagents for organic methodology,57,80-86 and key intermediates in natural product synthesis.87,88... 

In the nineteenth century chemists focused on the remarkable diversity of molecules produced by living organisms, which have in common the presence of tetravalent carbon atoms. As a result the unique versatility of carbon for the design and synthesis of new molecules was discovered, and the subdiscipline of organic chemistry (the science of carbon-containing molecules) has become the dominant part of the discipline. Clearly, the results from a focus on carbon-based chemistry have been immensely useful to science and to society. 

The synthesis and full characterization of organolan-thanide(IV) complexes remain a very difficult and often unpredictable task. Thus far, organolanthanide chemistry in the oxidation state +4 remains entirely limited to cerium. This can be traced back to the very highly positive normal potentials of the other tetravalent lanthanide ions Nd" +, Tb +, and... 

The concepts of electrons, protons, orbitals and energy levels that are deployed to explain chemical phenomena only succeed in doing so thanks to the judicious use of complementary hypotheses. According to quantum theory, carbon should be bivalent, but this does not stop the major part of its combinations being tetravalent. The hypothesis of the hybridization of orbitals explains this tetravalence, but, while compatible with quantum theory, it remains ad hoc. Moreover, while the systematization of theories in physics might well have succeeded in integrating certain elements of chemistry, it has not put an end to the development of independent chemical theories. That is why Monique Levy argues in the end for a reduction by synthesis which is a form of reduction that reserves a fundamental role for the reduced discipline. 

Tetravalent metal phosphonates (MELS ) are layered compounds that can be considered organic/inorganic polymers. The organic functionality provided by the phosphonate largely determines the surface chemistry of these materials. Choosing phosphonates with an arylsulfonic acid function produces materials that are effective as acid catalysts. This paper describes synthetic procedures used to prepare arylsulfonic acid MELS and methods to increase and stabilize their surface area, porosity, and swelling properties. Acid catalysis by MELS is exemplified by the synthesis of methyl tertiary butyl ether.
