The transition metal carbides and nitrides have often been called interstitial compounds [70] however, this is somewhat misleading. The small boron, carbon, or nitrogen atoms certainly occupy octahedral or trigonal prismatic voids of the metal sublattice, but the arrangement of the metal atoms themselves is different from that of the element. In the monocarbides the transition metal atoms show cubic close packing. However, titanium, zirconium, and hafnium are packed hexagonally and vanadium, niobium, and tantalum are body centered cubic [1]. Thus, these monocarbides are inorganic compounds with their individual crystal structures and they should not be considered as an interstitial compound of a transition metal host lattice. 

Solid-State Lasers. Sohd-state lasers (37) use glassy or crystalline host materials containing some active species. The term soHd-state as used in connection with lasers does not imply semiconductors rather it appHes to soHd materials containing impurity ions. The impurity ions are typically ions of the transition metals, such as chromium, or ions of the rare-earth series, such as neodymium (see Lanthanides). Most often, the soHd material is in the form of a cylindrical rod with the ends poHshed flat and parallel, but a variety of other forms have been used, including slabs and cylindrical rods with the ends cut at Brewster s angle. 

Similar stability and reactivity have also been observed for bridged-Cp systems. The catalyticaHy active (CH2)2Si(C (CH2)4)2ThR2, where R = Cl [89597-06-8] alkyl, CH2CgH [89597-10A] aryls, or H [89597-11-5], Similar to Group 4 transition-metal Zeigler-Natta catalysts, stable cationic Th(IV) species, eg, [Cp 2ThCH2] [108834-69-17, have been isolated with a host of noncoordinatiag/nonreactive anions. MetaHacycle formation has also been... 

Carbon monoxide [630-08-0] (qv), CO, the most important 7T-acceptor ligand, forms a host of neutral, anionic, and cationic transition-metal complexes. There is at least one known type of carbonyl derivative for every transition metal, as well as evidence supporting the existence of the carbonyls of some lanthanides (qv) and actinides (1) (see AcTINIDES AND THANSACTINIDES COORDINATION COMPOUNDS). 

In 1826 J. J. Berzelius found that acidification of solutions containing both molybdate and phosphate produced a yellow crystalline precipitate. This was the first example of a heteropolyanion and it actually contains the phos-phomolybdate ion, [PMoi204o] , which can be used in the quantitative estimation of phosphate. Since its discovery a host of other heteropolyanions have been prepared, mostly with molybdenum and tungsten but with more than 50 different heteroatoms, which include many non-metals and most transition metals — often in more than one oxidation state. Unless the heteroatom contributes to the colour, the heteropoly-molybdates and -tungstates are generally of varying shades of yellow. The free acids and the salts of small cations are extremely soluble in water but the salts of large cations such as Cs, Ba" and Pb" are usually insoluble. The solid salts are noticeably more stable thermally than are the salts of isopolyanions. Heteropoly compounds have been applied extensively as catalysts in the petrochemicals industry, as precipitants for numerous dyes with which they form lakes and, in the case of the Mo compounds, as flame retardants.

Here, we will first briefly recall the principles of this method in the case of transition metals. Then we will apply it to two illustrative examples the surface segregation energy of an impurity is a pure host and the growth of adislands on FCC(lll) surfaces of the same chemical species. 

The strained bicyclic carbapenem framework of thienamycin is the host of three contiguous stereocenters and several heteroatoms (Scheme 1). Removal of the cysteamine side chain affixed to C-2 furnishes /J-keto ester 2 as a possible precursor. The intermolecular attack upon the keto function in 2 by a suitable thiol nucleophile could result in the formation of the natural product after dehydration of the initial tetrahedral adduct. In a most interesting and productive retrosynthetic maneuver, intermediate 2 could be traced in one step to a-diazo keto ester 4. It is important to recognize that diazo compounds, such as 4, are viable precursors to electron-deficient carbenes. In the synthetic direction, transition metal catalyzed decomposition of diazo keto ester 4 could conceivably furnish electron-deficient carbene 3 the intermediacy of 3 is expected to be brief, for it should readily insert into the proximal N-H bond to... 

In this chapter we discuss host-guest complexes of arenediazonium salts with crown ethers and related compounds. Transition metal complexes of arenediazonium ions are treated together with those of dinitrogen and of diazoalkanes in our second book (Zollinger, 1995, Sec. 10.1). 

Numerous intercalation reactions are known in which one reactant enters the lattice of the other. Such behaviour is conveniently illustrated by reference to two recent studies. Lithium undergoes a low temperature (298 K) topochemical reversible reaction with transition metal compounds (e.g. TiS2, NbSe3) [1211] in which the host lattice structure may be partially retained (e.g. in Li TiS2, LijNbSe3). The reaction [1212]... 

We were one of the first groups to report a ternary selenophosphate of a rare-earth metal [11-13]. Since that time, we have uncovered a host of rare-earth metal chalcophosphates [1, 13, 14] that complement the transition-metal compounds found by the Kanatzidis group [15-31]. Despite the host of publications in the area of metal chalcophosphate chemistry, there have only been our systematic studies of the quaternary phase space of the rare-earth metal chalcophosphates [1, 13, 14].
