KEYWORDS HALOGEN HEXAFLUOROARSENATES HALOGEN TETRAFLUOROBORATES SYNTHESES Odobrila Oddelek za kemijo in Komisija za tisk IJS (Natisnjeno na IJS v 200 izvodih) US REPORT R-612 INVESTIGATIONS OF THE SYSTEMS Br2-F2-AsF5 AND Br2-F2-BF3* A.Smalc University of Ljubljana, Institute "J.Stefan"»Ljubljana, Yugoslavia ABSTRACT, The reactions in the systems Br2-F2-AsF5 and Br2-F2-BF3 have been investigated measuring the amounts of AsF5 and BF3 absorbed in dependence of mole ratio of the reactants. The results are summarized in a plot mole fraction of AsF5 vs. mole fraction of F2. In the first system the existence of three compounds is indicated - Brj AsFe , Br2 AsF6 , and BrF2 AsFe can be obtained depending on mole ratio of reactants used. In the second system only two compounds can be obtained: Bra BF*, , and BrF2 BF«T, respectively. Br2+AsF6 , a new compound of Brz* cation, is at room temperature a dark red solid, stable only under pressure of a few mm Hg of ASF5. Br3 BF% , however, forms dark brown needles with a dissociation pressure which follows the equation log p « 11.808 - 2b^ . In the recent years a number of papers appeared concerning an interesting field of halogene chemistry that is halogene and interhalogene cations. Some of these species for example bromine and chlorine cations were found to exist only a few years ago. Dibromine and tribromine cations were observed at first in the solutions whenever bromine was being oxidized with peroxy- disulfuryl difluoride in fluorosulfuric acid or in so called * Presented at U l European Symposium on Fluorine Chemistry, Ljubljana, Aug. 28th - Sept. 1st, 1972 - 1 Superacid I: Solution in HSQ3F (brown) + 3 Br2 + 3 S206F2-> 2 Br3 + 2 S03F~ Bra"*" + S03F~ e=* Br2 + BrS03F Solution in Superacid I - HSOaF-SbFs-aSOa i + k Brt • S206F25= 6 Br2 + 2 S03F~ R.J.Gillespie and M.J.Morton, Chem.Commun. 1968, 1565 R.J.Gillespie and M.J.Morton, Quart.Rev. 2211» 553 The first compound cf dibromine cation was prepared by the reaction of an excessive amount of antimony pentafluoride with bromine and bromine pentafluoride: + U.5 Br2 • 15 SbF5 + BrFs-* 5 Br2 Sb3Fl6~ A.J.Edwards, G.R.Jones, R.J.C.Sills, Chem.Commun. 196b. 1527 The compounds of tribromine cation were prepared by the reaction between dioxygenyl hexafluoroarsenate or -antimonate and bromine: 02AsF6 + 1.5 Br2-* Br3*AsF6~ • 02 (') + 2 02SbF6 + 1.5 Br2-* Br3 SbF*~ •»• 02 ( ) (') O.Glemser and A.šmalc, Angew.Chem., Intern.Ed.

Q% 517 (1969) (2) O.Glemser and A.Šraalc, not published When the reaction between dioxygenyl hexafluoroarsenate and bromine was carried out stepwise by addition of bromine in small portions, three reaction steps were observed. We believe that the reaction course is as follows: 6 02AsF6 + Br2~* 6 02 + k AsF5 + 2 BrF2AsF6 yellowish + U AsF5 • 2 brF2AsF6 + 5 Bra-* 6 Br2 AsF$~ red + 6 Br2 AsF6~ + 3 Br2-> 6 Br3*AsF6~ brown In the first step, six millimoles of oxygen and four millimoles of arsenic pentafluoride were set free by each millimole of bromine added. After the first step of the reaction bad been finished a yellowish solid with the composition corresponding to the formula BrF2AsF* was obtained. After further amounts of bromine had been added the colour of the solid became red and then turned to brown. The red colour might be ascribed to the dibromine cation formed during the second step of the reaction. Addition of an excessive amount of bromine, however, leads to the formation of the brown tribromine hexafluoroarsenate. In order to confirm the proposed existence of dibromine hexafluoroarsenate (which, of course, chould be less stable than the corresponding antimony compound) the reactions in the system bromine - fluorine - arsenic pentafluoride were investi­ gated in detail. Fluorine was chosen as fluorinating agent since the measuring of the amount of it to be added to the reaction mixture is simple. Known amounts of fluorine were successively added to a - 3 - known amount of bromine contained in a closed all Kel-F reaction tube. After each addition of fluorine and weighing of the re­ action tube arsenic pentafluoriue was absorbed in the obtained reaction mixture at -16 C. The amount of the later was determined after each absorption by weighing the reaction tube after the excessive arsenic pentafluoride had been pumped off at -lb C. The results obtained are summarized in a plot "mole fraction of arsenic pentafluoride absorbed versus mole fraction of fluorine added", Fig. 1. 0,50 <A Vt • C* • «»» • r«i *~ 0,40 0,30 - 1 5,67Bf2*F2*2A$F5 * 2BrjA$F; • 2.S78r2 2 3Br2*F2+2AsF5 • n\\k$\ 0,20 - 3 2Br2*F2*2AsF5 = MrfAsF^ 4 Br2+ F2* 1,2A$F5 = O.llrjAsFj •0,UrFjA$Fj 5 Bf2*3F2 + 2A$FS « 2BrfjA$F; 0.10 0,10 0,20 0,30 0,40 0,50 "fjitMi) f t %**%,t*htft Fig. 1. -1, - It is evident that in this system three compounds can be obtained depending on mole ratio of reactants used that is tri- bromine hexafluoroarsenate, dibromine hexafluoroarsenate and di- fluorobromonium hexafluoroarsenate, respectively. The curve drawn on the basis of the supposed reactions is designated by circular points. It coincides exceptionally well with the experi­ mentally obtained values marked with triangles. Following the obtained results we have synthetized dibromine hexafluoroarsenate by the absorption of arsenic pentafluoride in a mixture of bromine and bromine fluorides with a mole ratio Br2 : Fz= = 2:1 at -7a°C. Dibromine hexafluoroarsenate is a dark red solid stable at -76 C. However, at room temperature it shows a considerable dis­ sociation pressure of arsenic pentafluoride. If arsenic pentafluoride is pumped off the disproportionation takes place leading to the more stable tribromine compound, probably following the equation: + + 2 Br2 AsF6" - AsF5-* Br3 AsFe~ • BrF Br2 • BrF3 In addition we have investigated a related system bromine - fluorine - boron trifluoride in hope that bromine tetrafluoro- borates are possibly existing compounds. The same experimental approach vas employed as before. In contrast to arsenic penta­ fluoride system we have observed that only two compounds are existing in the boron trifluoride system that is tribromine tetrafluoroborate and difluorobromonium tetrafluoroborate, respectively. The results are presented here in a plot "mole fraction of boron trifluoride absorbed versus mole fraction of fluorine added" (Fig. 2). Tribromine tetrafluoroborate forms dark brown needles, stable at -7& C. Its infrared spectrum taken in a cell with internal window cooled with liquid nitrogen shows the bands characteristic for tetrafluoroborate anion.

  • Coordination Chemistry of Xenon

    Coordination Chemistry of Xenon

    Coordination Chemistry of Xenon Paul Griffin Literature Seminar 11/14/19 Situated on the far side of the periodic table, the chemical inertness of the noble gases has led to their widespread applications ranging from gas-discharge lamps and ion engines for space travel to medical applications including as MRI contrast agents and radiotherapy.1 Though all practical applications of the noble gases center around Xe (0), understanding the reactivity and bonding of xenon in higher oxidation states is fundamental to investigating chemistry at the far end of the periodic table. The reactivity of the noble gases, in particular xenon, was first uncovered when Bartlett, who had previously prepared dioxygenyl hexafluoroplatinate (V) (O2PtF6), noted similar ionization energies for molecular oxygen and atomic xenon (a difference of 0.1 eV).2 Mixing of xenon with PtF6 vapor led to the formation of an orange-yellow solid led to the synthesis of the first noble gas compound, xenon hexafluoroplatinate (V) (XePtF6). The chemistry of xenon has evolved significantly since its’ discovery to include an assortment of xenon fluorides, oxides, oxylfluorides, organoxenon3, and metalloxenon compounds such as the tetraxenoaurate (II) cation (Figure 1).4 These species have weak covalent bonding between Xe and the oxygen/fluorine moieties.5 The chemistry of xenon is dominated by the 2+, 4+, and 6+ oxidation states, though Xe (VIII) compounds are known in the form of perxenates and xenon tetroxide. These primarily ionic species, particularly the oxides, oxylfluorides, and fluorides, serve as precursors to noncovalent adducts of xenon. Figure 1. Organoxenon and metalloxenon species Recent work has led to the preparation of xenon adducts with noncovalently interacting ligands such as acetonitrile6a, 6b, ketones6c, sulfoxides6c, and crown ethers6d (Figure 2) capable of weakly coordinating to xenon salts to afford stable species at room temperature.

  • Chapter 5 Molecular Orbitals

    Chapter 5 Molecular Orbitals

    Chapter 5 Molecular Orbitals Molecular orbital theory uses group theory to describe the bonding in molecules ; it comple- ments and extends the introductory bonding models in Chapter 3 . In molecular orbital theory the symmetry properties and relative energies of atomic orbitals determine how these orbitals interact to form molecular orbitals. The molecular orbitals are then occupied by the available electrons according to the same rules used for atomic orbitals as described in Sections 2.2.3 and 2.2.4 . The total energy of the electrons in the molecular orbitals is compared with the initial total energy of electrons in the atomic orbitals. If the total energy of the electrons in the molecular orbitals is less than in the atomic orbitals, the molecule is stable relative to the separate atoms; if not, the molecule is unstable and predicted not to form. We will first describe the bonding, or lack of it, in the first 10 homonuclear diatomic molecules ( H2 through Ne2 ) and then expand the discussion to heteronuclear diatomic molecules and molecules having more than two atoms. A less rigorous pictorial approach is adequate to describe bonding in many small mole- cules and can provide clues to more complete descriptions of bonding in larger ones. A more elaborate approach, based on symmetry and employing group theory, is essential to under- stand orbital interactions in more complex molecular structures. In this chapter, we describe the pictorial approach and develop the symmetry methodology required for complex cases. 5.1 Formation of Molecular Orbitals from Atomic Orbitals As with atomic orbitals, Schrödinger equations can be written for electrons in molecules.
