STRUCTURAL AND THERMODYNAMIC ASPECTS OF AN ELECTRON-DIFFRACTION STUDY ON SATURATED THALLIUM MONOFLUORIDE VAPOR

A fresh analysis has been performed on the original electron-diffraction data for saturated thallium monofluoride vapor.The diffraction data have been combined with spectroscopic ones to derive the equilibrium geometry and the complete harmonic force fiel

Polymorphism of Thallium Pentafluorotellurate (IV), TlTeF//5.

A colorimetry study of thallium pentafluorotellurate (IV) indicates a reversible phase transition near 192 K. Powder diffraction analysis has been performed for the high and low-temperature forms. Structural data are: form I (298 K): monoclinic system; a equals 14. 099 angstrom, b equals 6. 510 angstrom c equals 11. 864 angstrom, beta equals 91. 03 degree ; form II (123 K): monoclinic system; a equals 14. 218 angstrom, b equals 8. 825 angstrom, c equals 8. 559 angstrom, beta equals 91. 2 degree . These results are discussed in comparison with the thermodynamic characteristics of the I yields II transition.

Reactions of 1,2,3,4,5-Pentafluorocyclopentadiene

The synthesis of 1,2,3,4,5-pentafluorocyclopentadiene (2) from 1,2,3,4,5-pentachloro-1,2,3,4,5-pentafluorocyclopentane (1) is closely investigated.Side-products are 1,2,3,4-tetrafluorocyclopentadiene (4) and 5-chloro-1,2,3,4-tetrafluorocyclopentadiene (5).Under UV irradiation, 2 isomerizes to give 1,2,3,5,5-pentafluorocyclopentadiene (6). 2 dimerizes forming a mixture of Diels-Alder products.This dimerisation is irreversible until 700 deg C.The hydrogen in 2 can be replaced by bromine forming 7. 2 adds Cl2, Br2, I2, and carbonylmetal hydrides.Also with the most stable salt Tl(+)C5F5(-) (8) the synthesis of a η5-C5F5 complex was unsuccessful.A modified synthesis of hexafluorocyclopentadiene (12) from hexachlorocyclopentadiene (9) is presented. 12 adds AsF5 forming c-C5F7AsF4 (13).With SbF5 no cation c-C5F5(+) (14) could be detected so far.

Matrix-isolation study of oxide-transfer reactions to halogen-containing Lewis acids: Synthesis of the CO2F22- anion and attempted synthesis of the BF3O2- anion

The oxide-transfer technique has been coupled with matrix isolation in an attempt to synthesize and characterize the BF3O2- and CO2F22- anions, through the reaction of Tl2O with either BF3 or COF2. In the latter experiments, two sets of product bands were observed; one agreed well with the absorptions of the known CO2F- anion. The second set has been assigned to the CO2F22- anion in the matrix-isolated Tl+2CO2F22- triple ion, which rapidly eliminated TlF upon warming to form the Tl+CO2F- anion. Attempts to synthesize the BF3O2- anion in a similar fashion were not successful, suggesting that previous reports of the room-temperature synthesis of this anion are incorrect.

Organothallium compounds. VI. Reactions of bromobis(pentafluorophenyl)thallium(III) with main group elements

Bromobis(pentafluorophenyl)thallium(IlI) reacts with many main group elements on heating in the absence of a solvent to give pentafluorophenyl derivatsves of these elements. The compounds C6F5M (M = Cl, Br, or I), (C6F5)2M (M = Zn, Cd, Hg, S, Se or Te), (C6F5)3M (M = In, P, As, or Sb), and (C6F5)M (M = Ge or Sn) have been prepared by this method. Substantial decomposition of (C6F5)2TlBr occurs on reaction with aluminium, gallium, lead and bismuth, but pcntafluorophenyl derivatives of these elements are not obtained.
