Ru(PPh 3) 2 (CO) 3 + (SCN) 2 → Ru(NCS) 2 (PPh 3) 2 (CO) 2 + CO, where Ph = C 6 H 5. Even though the reaction involves cleavage of the S-S bond in thiocyanogen, the product is the Ru-NCS linkage isomer. In another unusual method, thiocyanate functions as both a ligand and as a reductant in its reaction with dichromate to give [Cr(NCS) 4 (NH 3 ...
Thiocyanate [6] is known to be an important part in the biosynthesis of hypothiocyanite by a lactoperoxidase. [7] [8] [9] Thus the complete absence of thiocyanate or reduced thiocyanate [10] in the human body, (e.g., cystic fibrosis) is damaging to the human host defense system.
Clar's rule states that for a benzenoid polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (i.e. one with only hexagonal rings), the resonance structure with the largest number of disjoint aromatic π-sextets is the most important to characterize its chemical and physical properties. Such a resonance structure is called a Clar structure. In other words, a ...
Contributing structures of the carbonate ion. In chemistry, resonance, also called mesomerism, is a way of describing bonding in certain molecules or polyatomic ions by the combination of several contributing structures (or forms, [1] also variously known as resonance structures or canonical structures) into a resonance hybrid (or hybrid structure) in valence bond theory.
It is important to note that the energy of the actual structure of the molecule, i.e. the resonance hybrid, may be lower than that of any of the contributing canonical structures. The difference in energy between the actual inductive structure and the (most stable contributing structures) worst kinetic structure is called the resonance energy ...
Jannik Bjerrum (son of Niels Bjerrum) developed the first general method for the determination of stability constants of metal-ammine complexes in 1941. [1] The reasons why this occurred at such a late date, nearly 50 years after Alfred Werner had proposed the correct structures for coordination complexes, have been summarised by Beck and Nagypál. [2]
The esters of thiocyanic acid have the general structure R−S−C≡N, where R stands for an organyl group. Isothiocyanic acid, HNCS, is a Lewis acid whose free energy, enthalpy and entropy changes for its 1:1 association with a variety of Lewis bases in carbon tetrachloride solution at 25 °C have been reported.
Thiocyanogen, (SCN) 2, is a pseudohalogen derived from the pseudohalide thiocyanate, [SCN] −, with behavior intermediate between dibromine and diiodine. [2] This hexatomic compound exhibits C 2 point group symmetry and has the connectivity NCS-SCN. [3] In the lungs, lactoperoxidase may oxidize thiocyanate to thiocyanogen [4] or ...
