Sodium naphthalene is an organic salt with the chemical formula Na + [C 10 H 8] −. In the research laboratory, it is used as a reductant in the synthesis of organic, organometallic, and inorganic chemistry. It is usually generated in situ. When isolated, it invariably crystallizes as a solvate with ligands bound to Na +. [1]
Virtually all sodium etching bond strengths reported in academic journals predate the advent of glymes as carriers for sodium naphthalene complex. In adhesion tests per ASTM D4541, in which an aluminum stud is bonded to the test surface and the stud is pulled in the direction normal to the surface, both surfaces of the failure interface were ...
With alkali metals, naphthalene forms the dark blue-green radical anion salts such as sodium naphthalene, Na + C 10 H − 8. The naphthalene anions are strong reducing agents. Naphthalene can be hydrogenated under high pressure in the presence of metal catalysts to give 1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene(C 10 H 12), also known as tetralin.
[5] [6] In one of the breakthrough events in the field of polymer science, Szwarc elucidated that electron transfer occurred from radical anion sodium naphthalene to styrene. The results in the formation of an organosodium species, which rapidly added styrene to form a "two – ended living polymer."
Organosodium chemistry is the chemistry of organometallic compounds containing a carbon to sodium chemical bond. [1] [2] The application of organosodium compounds in chemistry is limited in part due to competition from organolithium compounds, which are commercially available and exhibit more convenient reactivity.
N-(1-Naphthyl)ethylenediamine dihydrochloride is widely used in the quantitative analysis of nitrate and nitrite in water samples by colorimetry.It readily undergoes a diazonium coupling reaction in the presence of nitrite to give a strongly colored azo compound.
Sodium atoms have 11 electrons, one more than the stable configuration of the noble gas neon. As a result, sodium usually forms ionic compounds involving the Na + cation. [1] Sodium is a reactive alkali metal and is much more stable in ionic compounds. It can also form intermetallic compounds and organosodium compounds.
Naphthalenesulfonates are derivatives of sulfonic acid which contain a naphthalene functional unit. A related family of compounds are the aminonaphthalenesulfonic acids.Of commercial importance are the alkylnaphthalene sulfonates, which are used as superplasticizers in concrete.
