Many salts are halides; the hal-syllable in halide and halite reflects this correlation. All Group 1 metals form halides that are white solids at room temperature. [2] A halide ion is a halogen atom bearing a negative charge. The common halide anions are fluoride (F −), chloride (Cl −), bromide (Br −), and iodide (I −).
Industrially these gases are, however, produced by treatment of halide salts with sulfuric acid. Hydrogen bromide arises when hydrogen and bromine are combined at high temperatures in the presence of a platinum catalyst. The least stable hydrogen halide, HI, is produced less directly, by the reaction of iodine with hydrogen sulfide or with ...
Halide ligands may be abstracted by silver(I), often as the tetrafluoroborate or the hexafluorophosphate. In many transition metal compounds, the empty coordination site is stabilized by a coordinating solvent like tetrahydrofuran. Halide ligands may also be displaced by the alkali salt of an X-type ligand, such as a salen-type ligand. [10]
The halogens may either be bonded to another element through covalent bonding or (as in many metal halides) present in the form of the halide ion. Subcategories This category has the following 13 subcategories, out of 13 total.
In this structure both the metals and halides feature octahedral coordination geometry, in which each ion has a coordination number of six. Caesium chloride, bromide, and iodide crystallize in a body-centered cubic lattice that accommodates coordination number of eight for the larger metal cation (and the anion also).
With halide ions there are examples of all of these geometries along with some anions with octahedrally coordinated indium and with bridging halogen atoms, In 2 X 3− 9 with three bridging halogen atoms and In 2 X − 7 with just one. Additionally there are examples of indium with square planar geometry in the InX 5 2− ion.
Two commercially important halide minerals are halite and fluorite. The former is a major source of sodium chloride, in parallel with sodium chloride extracted from sea water or brine wells. Fluorite is a major source of hydrogen fluoride , complementing the supply obtained as a byproduct of the production of fertilizer.
Partial oxidation of a halide: 2 PCl 3 + O 2 → 2 POCl 3. In this example, the oxidation state increases by two and the electrical charge is unchanged. Partial halogenation of an oxide: 2 V 2 O 5 + 6 Cl 2 + 3 C → 4 VOCl 3 + 3 CO 2; Oxide replacement: CrO 2− 4 + 2 Cl − + 4 H + → CrO 2 Cl 2 + 4 H 2 O
