Reactivity Profile

Oxidizing agents, such as TETRAETHYLAMMONIUM PERCHLORATE, can react with reducing agents to generate heat and products that may be gaseous (causing pressurization of closed containers). The products may themselves be capable of further reactions (such as combustion in the air). The chemical reduction of materials in this group can be rapid or even explosive, but often requires initiation (heat, spark, catalyst, addition of a solvent). Explosive mixtures of inorganic oxidizing agents with reducing agents often persist unchanged for long periods if initiation is prevented. Such systems are typically mixtures of solids, but may involve any combination of physical states. Some inorganic oxidizing agents are salts of metals that are soluble in water; dissolution dilutes but does not nullify the oxidizing power of such materials. Organic compounds, in general, have some reducing power and can in principle react with compounds in this class. Actual reactivity varies greatly with the identity of the organic compound. Inorganic oxidizing agents can react violently with active metals, cyanides, esters, and thiocyanates. Benzene, calcium hydride, charcoal, ethanol, finely divided metals, olefins, strontium hydride, sulfur react violently with perchlorates.

Purification Methods

Crystallise the perchlorate repeatedly from water, aqueous MeOH, acetonitrile or acetone, and dry it at 70o under a vacuum for 24hours. [Cox et al. J Am Chem Soc 106 5965 1984, Liu et al. J Am Chem Soc 108 1740 1986, White & Murray J Am Chem Soc 109 2576 1987.] It has also been crystallised twice from ethyl acetate/95% EtOH (2:1) [Lexa et al. J Am Chem Soc 109 6464 1987].

Synthesis, characterization, and surface studies of conjugated polymers possessing 2,2'-biimidazole moieties

Two novel 2,2'-biimidazole-thiophene structures, 5,5'-bis(2,2'-bithiophene- 5-yl)-1,1'-dimethyl-2,2'-biimidazole and 5,5'-bis(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene-2- yl)-1,1'-dimethyl-2,2'-biimidazole, have been synthesized and electrochemically polymerized. These materials underwent facile oxidation on Pt and ITO surfaces in CH2Cl2/Bu4NPF6 to yield conjugated, electroactive polymer films. The films were characterized with cyclic voltammetry, electronic absorption spectroscopy, and atomic force microscopy.

Alternative mechanistic scheme for salt effects on solvolysis reactions of haloalkanes and related compounds in binary DMSO/H2O solvent mixture

In 75% (v/v) DMSO/H2O solvent mixture, salt effects on the solvolysis reaction rates of haloalkanes and related compounds (RX) have been examined. In spite of the decreased water activity in the solvent mixture, the log(k/s-1) values of typical Sn1 substrates, such as 1-bromoadamantane, increase with increasing concentration of added metal perchlorates (the order: Li+ + 2+ 2+), which is attributed to the direct chemical interaction between the leaving-group anion and the metal cation in the "modified" solution. Contrastingly, the log(k/s-1) value of an Sn2 substrate decreases with increasing concentration of the metal perchlorates. When nonmetallic salts containing anions (Y- = Cl- or Br -) different from RX (X- = Cl-, Br-, or TsO-) are present, solvolyses of Sn2, such as 1-bromohexane, are subjected to an anion-exchange reaction. By the detailed examination of Δlog(k/s-1)/Δ[Mg(Cl O4) 2] for typical Sn1, Sn1-Sn2 borderline, and Sn2 substrates, we were able to demonstrate a linearity between the Mg(Cl O4)2 effects in the solvolysis rates and the carbocation stabilities expressed by the Gibbs free energy values (ΔG°) of RX in the gas phase. The salt effects on the solvolyses of Sn1 to Sn2 substrates are accounted for without relying on Winstein's reaction scheme or the arbitrary function of ion pairs of two types.

Conductivity and dissociation constants of quaternary ammonium perchlorates and picrates in 4-methyl-pentan-2-one

The dissociation of 14 ionophores, namely, seven symmetrical (C1 to C7) and five asymmetrical quaternary ammonium perchlorates and two tetraalkylammonium picrates (all with linear hydrocarbon chains), in 4-methyl-pentan-2-one was studied at 25 °C (εr = 12.92) using the conductance method. The values of the association constants of the quaternary ammonium cation, Ct+, with ClO4- vary from (7.4 ± 0.3) ·103 L·mol-1 for tetramethylammonium to (2.4 ± 0.1) ·103 L·mol-1 for tetrahexyl- and tetraheptylammonium; a distinct dependence on the size of the Ct+, especially for symmetrical cations, is evident. The values of the limiting molar conductivities Λ0/S·mol-1·cm2 vary from 122.8 to 90.0 (± 0.7). The plot of Λ0 versus the reciprocal cube root of the total van der Waals volume of the cations, V Ct-1/3, is close to linear up to tetrapentylammonium and hexadecyltrimethylammonium, while for larger cations (with 21 to 28 carbon atoms) the Λ0 values stay practically constant. At the same time, symmetrical and asymmetrical cations with the same VCt values possess equal mobility.

Models for Copper-Dioxygen Complexes: the Chemistry of Copper(II) with Some Planar Tridentate Nitrogen Ligands

The solution chemistry of Cu(II) with a series of five planar tridentate nitrogen ligands, 2,6-bis(benzimidazol-2-yl)pyridine (bzimpy, 1), 2,6-bis(1-methylbenzimidazol-2-yl)pyridine (mbzimpy, 2), 2,6-bis(benzothiazol-2-yl)pyridine (bzthpy, 3), 2,6-bis(benzoxazol-2-yl)pyridine (bzoxpy, 4), and 2,2',6',2"-terpyridyl (terpy, 5) is reported.Electronic and EPR spectra are consistent with the complexes 2+ having essentially tetragonal structure in solution, with the fourth coordination site in the plane of the ligand occupied by solvent. bzthpy and bzoxpy show smaller ligand-field splittings than bzimpy, mbzimpy, and terpy, and are easily decomplexed from the copper.Substitution of the coordinated solvent molecule in the plane of the ligand is observed with Cl- and OH- (provided that the ligand has no acidic protons) for all ligands except terpy.The reaction between 2+ and imidazole has been studied by potentiometric titration in MeCN/H2O 1:1 and shows strong binding of the imidazole in the plane (log K = 4.5 at 25 deg C), and also the formation of an imidazolate-bridged dinuclear species.
