This chemical bond between the metal and the hydroxyl group of ahyl alcohol has an important effect on stereoselectivity. Asymmetric epoxidation is weU-known. The most stereoselective catalyst is Ti(OR) which is one of the early transition metal compounds and has no 0x0 group (28). Epoxidation of isopropylvinylcarbinol [4798-45-2] (1-isopropylaHyl alcohol) using a combined chiral catalyst of Ti(OR)4 and L-(+)-diethyl tartrate and (CH2)3COOH as the oxidant, stops at 50% conversion, and the erythro threo ratio of the product is 97 3. The reason for the reaction stopping at 50% conversion is that only one enantiomer can react and the unreacted enantiomer is recovered in optically pure form (28). 

Chemicals of various types are used in every stage of drilling, completing, and producing oil and gas wells. This review describes these chemicals, why they are used, and recent developments. These chemicals include common inorganic salts, transition metal compounds, common organic chemicals and solvents, water-soluble and oil-soluble polymers, and surfactants. As existing fields become depleted, use of chemistry to maintain production via well stimulation, more efficient secondary recovery operations, and enhanced oil recovery become ever more important. 

Metal-metal (M-M) bonds, first noted in the early sixties, occur in several thousand transition-metal compounds [1]. Complex technetium compounds and compounds with M-M bonds (clusters) have been studied more extensively than many other classes of inorganic compounds. Increasing interest in technetium compounds is due to the practical uses of the "mTc isotope, which ranks first among radioactive isotopes used in nuclear medicine diagnostics [2-4]. On the other hand, technetium clusters are an interesting object for theoretical studies, because until recently, they were the only compounds in which the presence of these anomalous chemical bonds was thought possible. 

Sigma-bonded transition metal complexes are able to polymerize a range of vinyl monomers, the only limitation being that the monomer should not have groups that react chemically with the transition metal compound. An important observation is that styrene and its derivatives are polymerized by the sigma complexes. In this respect they differ from the jr-allyl compounds that show no reactivity at all toward these monomers. A reasonable explanation for this is that the mechanism of the initiation is different... 

Dihydrogen shows a weak tendency to undergo chemical reactions, unless it is activated by certain types of transition-metal compounds. Buntkowsky et al. [21] have investigated the early stages of activation of H2 using parahydrogen, and the results and conclusions derived thereof have been reported.

In order to build up dendrimers crqrable of exhibiting redox activity and light-induced functions, appropriate building blocks have to be used. In the last 20 years, extensive investigations carried out on the photochemical and electrochemical properties of transition metal compounds have shown that Ru(II) and Os(ll) complexes of aromatic M-heterocycles (Figure 1), e.g., Ru(bpy)j and Os(bpy)j (bpy = 2,2 -bipyridine), exhibit a unique combination of chemical stability, redox properties, excited state reactivity, luminescence, and excited state lifetime. Furthermore all these properties can be tuned within rather broad ranges by... 

Acetylenes are discussed separately here because, in reactions with transition metal compounds, they can act in a variety of ways 34). Thus, they can act as monodentate (2-electron donors) or as bridging groups (4-electron donors), or they can undergo chemical transformations to form cyclobutadiene, cyclopentadienone, or other moieties that incorporate the parent acetylene as a part of the cyclic ir-ligand. Some examples of this last type have already been mentioned (Sections IV,C,l and 4). 

Our discussion here of computational procedures will be very superficial and aimed at bringing out the physical features of the models. For a full treatment of this subject with references to the original literature, and for further discussion of the interpretation of the chemical behavior of transition metal compounds in terms of ligand field theory, the reader is referred to the publications cited in Appendix IX. 

In this chapter, we ll look at the properties and chemical behavior of transition metal compounds, paying special attention to coordination compounds, in which a central metal ion (or atom)—usually a transition metal—is attached to a group of surrounding molecules or ions by coordinate covalent bonds (Section 7.5).

With the advent of appropriate DFT-based methods, NMR properties of transition-metal compounds have now become amenable to theoretical computations (8). Suitable density functionals have been identified (9) which permit calculations of transition-metal chemical shifts with reasonable accuracy, typically within a few percent of the respective shift ranges. Thus, it is now possible to investigate possible NMR/reactivity correlations for transition-metal complexes from first principles several such studies have already been undertaken (10,11,12).
