Salt metathesis is a common technique for exchanging counterions. The choice of reactants is guided by a solubility chart or lattice energy. HSAB theory can also be used to predict the products of a metathesis reaction. Salt metathesis is often employed to obtain salts that are soluble in organic solvents.
Metathesis (linguistics), alteration of the order of phonemes within a word Quantitative metathesis , exchange of long and short roles, without changing order of vowel sounds Chemical change in which a pair of molecules exchange electronic patterns of bonding
The [BAr F 4] − anion with four fluorinated aryl groups distributed tetrahedrally about a central boron atom. Tetrakis[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]borate is an anion with chemical formula [{3,5-(CF 3) 2 C 6 H 3} 4 B] −, which is commonly abbreviated as [BAr F 4] −, indicating the presence of fluorinated aryl (Ar F) groups.
The compound is prepared by the salt metathesis reaction of potassium iodide and potassium tetrachloroplatinate: [3] K 2 PtCl 4 + 4 KI → K 2 PtI 4 + 4 KCl. Potassium tetraiodoplatinate is a precursor to the anticancer drug cisplatin.
The compounds are generally prepared by salt metathesis reactions of alkali-metal cyclopentadienyl compounds with transition metal chlorides. Sodium cyclopentadienide (NaCp) and lithium cyclopentadienide are commonly used.
The salt metathesis reaction results in precipitation of solid calcium carbonate, leaving potassium hydroxide in solution: Ca(OH) 2 + K 2 CO 3 → CaCO 3 + 2 KOH. Filtering off the precipitated calcium carbonate and boiling down the solution gives potassium hydroxide ("calcinated or caustic potash").
The salt also can be produced by salt metathesis reaction of ammonium salts with sodium perchlorate. This process exploits the relatively low solubility of NH 4 ClO 4, which is about 10% of that for sodium perchlorate. [6] AP crystallises as colorless rhombohedra.
Using salt metathesis reactions, nitrite, azide, and other small inorganic anions can be obtained with [(Ph 3 P) 2 N] + cations. The resulting salts [(Ph 3 P) 2 N] + NO − 2, [(Ph 3 P) 2 N] + N − 3, etc. are soluble in polar organic solvents. [(Ph 3 P) 2 N] + forms crystalline salts with a range of anions that are otherwise difficult to ...
