To a single metal ion, carbonate is observed to bind in both unidentate (κ 1-) and bidentate (κ 2-) fashions. [5] In the covalent bond classification method, κ 1-carbonate is anX ligand and κ 2-carbonate is an X 2 ligand. With two metals, the number of bonding modes increases because carbonate often serves as a bridging ligand.
Polysilicon hydride is a two-dimensional polymer network. Many cluster compounds of lithium silicides are known, such as Li 13 Si 4, Li 22 Si 5, Li 7 Si 3 and Li 12 Si 7. [2] Li 4.4 Si is prepared from silicon and lithium metal in high-energy Ball mill process. [3] Potential uses include electrodes in lithium batteries. Li 12 Si 7 has a Zintl ...
The C–Si bond is somewhat polarised towards carbon due to carbon's greater electronegativity (C 2.55 vs Si 1.90), and single bonds from Si to electronegative elements are very strong. [14] Silicon is thus susceptible to nucleophilic attack by O − , Cl − , or F − ; the energy of an Si–O bond in particular is strikingly high.
Often cross-coupling reactions require metal catalysts. One important reaction type is this: R−M + R'−X → R−R' + MX (R, R' = organic fragments, usually aryl; M = main group center such as Li or MgX; X = halide) These reactions are used to form carbon–carbon bonds but also carbon-heteroatom bonds.
Heterobimetallic catalysis is an approach to catalysis that employs two different metals to promote a chemical reaction.Included in this definition are cases (Scheme 1) where: 1) each metal activates a different substrate (synergistic catalysis, used interchangeably with the terms "cooperative" and "dual" catalysis.
Polycarbonate is commonly used in eye protection, as well as in other projectile-resistant viewing and lighting applications that would normally indicate the use of glass, but require much higher impact-resistance. Polycarbonate lenses also protect the eye from UV light.
The identity of the metal, M, depends on which cross-coupling reaction is being used. Stille reactions use tin, Suzuki reactions use boron, Sonogashira reactions use copper, and Negishi reactions use zinc. The transmetalation step in palladium catalyzed reactions involve the addition of an R–M compound to produce an R′–Pd–R compound.
They are much more reactive than the corresponding alkanes, because of the larger radius of silicon compared to carbon facilitating nucleophilic attack at the silicon, the greater polarity of the Si–H bond compared to the C–H bond, and the ability of silicon to expand its octet and hence form adducts and lower the reaction's activation energy.
