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.
It is the potassium salt of tetraiodoplatinate, a square planar complex of platinum(II). The compound crystallizes from water as the dihydrate, [ 1 ] whereas the related chloride and bromide K 2 PtCl 4 and K 2 PtBr 4 are obtained only as the anhydrous salts.
Tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBAB) is a quaternary ammonium salt with a bromide commonly used as a phase transfer catalyst. [4] It is used to prepare many other tetrabutylammonium salts by salt metathesis reactions. The anhydrous form is a white solid. [2]
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.
In some reactions between highly reactive metals (usually from Group 1 or Group 2) and highly electronegative halogen gases, or water, the atoms can be ionized by electron transfer, [16] a process thermodynamically understood using the Born–Haber cycle. [17] Salts are formed by salt-forming reactions. A base and an acid, e.g., NH 3 + HCl → ...
The halide salt is prepared by the reaction of triethylamine and an ethyl halide: + + This method works well for the preparation of tetraethylammonium iodide (where X = I). [1] Most tetraethylammonium salts are prepared by salt metathesis reactions.
Tributyltin azide is synthesized by the salt metathesis reaction of tributyltin chloride and sodium azide. It is a reagent used in the synthesis of tetrazoles, which in turn are used to generate angiotensin II receptor antagonists. In some applications, tributyltin azide has been replaced by the less toxic trioctyltin azide and organoaluminium ...
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").
