Valences uncommon

Perfluocoalkyl groups thermodynamically destabilize double bonds and small rings, but they can kineiically stabilize highly stramed molecules [75]. This remarkable perfluoroalkyl effect has made possible the isolation of stmctures that are uncommon m hydrocarbon chemistry, especially valence-bond isomers of aromatics and heteroaromatics such as 1, 2, and 3 [108],... 

Borides, in contrast to carbides and nitrides, are characterized by an unusual structural complexity for both metal-rich and B-rich compositions. This complexity has its origin in the tendency of B atoms to form one- two-, or three-dimensional covalent arrangements and to show uncommon coordination numbers because of their large size (rg = 0.88 10 pm) and their electronic structure (deficiency in valence electrons). The structures of the transition-element borides are well established " . 

Rhenium ranges in color from silvery-white to gray to a black powder. It is a rather dense element. As a refined metal, rhenium is ductile, but because it is rather rare, its properties have not found many uses. Rhenium does have the widest range of valences. In addition to its common valences of 4, 6, and 7, it also has the uncommon valences of 2, -1, and -7.

Hypervalent Molecule. A molecule containing one or more main-group elements in which the normal valence of eight electrons has been exceeded. Hypervalent molecules are common for second-row and heavier main-group elements but are uncommon for first-row elements. 

The valence electron configuration of the group 3A elements is ns2 npl, and their primary oxidation state is +3. In addition, the heavier elements exhibit a +1 state, which is uncommon for gallium and indium but is the most stable oxidation state for thallium. 

Thermal oxidation is also autocatalytic and considered as metal-catalyzed because it is very difficult to eliminate trace metals (from fats and oils or food) that act as catalysts and may occur as proposed in Equation 4. Redox metals of variable valency may also catalyze decomposition of hydroperoxides (Scheme 2, Equations [6] and [7]). Direct photooxidation is caused by free radicals produced by ultraviolet radiation that catalyzes the decomposition of hydroperoxides and peroxides. This oxidation proceeds as a free radical chain reaction. Although there should be direct irradiation from ultraviolet light for the hpid substrate, which is usually uncommon under normal practices, the presence of metals and metal complexes of oxygen can become activated and generate free radicals or singlet oxygen. 

Constructing the full electron configuration, as I reviewed in Lesson 3 f, I get ls22s2 2p6 3sz 3p6 4s2 3d6. We filled in the 3d section last, but the 4sz actually represents the valence shell, so it is not uncommon to rewrite this configuration as Is2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 3d64s2, or with the shorthand notation [Ar] 3d6 4sz. 

Co(r 5-C5H5)2]+. Compounds with more than 18 valence electrons are uncommon, and thus one can understand the unusual structure of [Fe(r 5-C5H5)(r l-C5H5)(CO)2] (7), as two pentahapto... 

Francois Nief s chapter reports on the molecular chemistry of rare earths in uncommon low-valence states zerovalent, monovalent, and also divalent, but to the exclusion of Sm, Eu, and Yb which have been widely studied and are thus considered as common. The relevance of this subject stems from the discovery in the past 10-15 years of stable molecular... 

The electronic configuration of halogens shows that there are seven electrons in the outermost shell of these atoms. Thus the most common valence state is 1. Although uncommon, halogens exhibit higher valencies, too, especially in interhalogen compounds. For example, in bromine pentafluoride and iodine heptafluoride, bromine and iodine exhibit valencies of 5 and 7, respectively. 

Orthophosphates containing mixed-valency cations are not uncommon, for example, in certain Fe, Cr, Mn and V phosphates aheady quoted above. Mixed-valency salts of type CZn3 e +Fe +(P04)3-2H2O are known [57]. Some of these may be produced in metal surface treatmeuts (Chapter 12.7).
