  • 2.6 Deltahedral Zintl Ions of Tin: Synthesis, Structure, and Reactivity Slavi C
    OTE/SPH OTE/SPH JWBK199-02.1 JWBK199-Gielen May 30, 2008 13:36 Printer: Yet to come 138 Tin Chemistry: Fundamentals, Frontiers and Applications 2.6 Deltahedral Zintl Ions of Tin: Synthesis, Structure, and Reactivity Slavi C. Sevov Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, University of Notre Dame,USA 2.6.1 Introduction One little-known area of chemistry is the chemistry of heavy main-group p elements, mostly metals and semimetals, in negative oxidation states. While the chemistry of Sn2+ and Sn4+, for example, is very well studied and we all learn about it very early in our education, not many people are aware of the fact that tin atoms can accept electrons and exhibit completely different reactivity when negatively charged. For example, catenation and clustering are uncommon for cationic tin, but is the norm for 6− anions, both in inter-metallics and molecular compounds. Thus, cyclopentadienyl-like Sn5 is found in the inter-metallic compounds Na8AeSn6 (Ae = Ba, Eu), Li9−x AeSn6+x (Ae = Ca, Eu), Li5Ca7Sn11, 1 4− and Li6Eu5Sn9, isolated tetrahedra of Sn4 and alkali-metal cations constitute the structures of A4Sn4 2 (A = alkali metal), while Na4CaSn6 and Li2Ln5Sn7 (Ln = Ce, Pr, Sm, Eu) contain infinite anionic 16− 3,4 chains and heptane-like Sn7 oligomers, respectively. Notice that, as might be expected, the negative oxidation states are achieved when the more electronegative p element, tin in this case, is combined with much more electropositive s or f element such as the alkali, alkaline-earth, or rare-earth metals. Notice also that, for the purpose of structure rationalization and systematic description, the formal oxidation state assignments assume complete electron transfer from the more electropositive atoms to the p element.

  • The Oxidation of Carbon Monoxide Using a Tin Oxide
    THE OXIDATION OF CARBON MONOXIDE USING A TIN OXIDE CATALYST Christopher F. Sampson and Nicholas J. Gudde United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority A.E.R.E. Harwell, Didcot, Oxon. United Kingdom SUMMARY This paper outlines some of the steps involved in the development by the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) of a catalytic device for the recombination of carbon monoxide and oxygen in a C02 laser system. It contrasts the differences between CO oxidation for air purification and for laser environmental control, but indicates that there are similarities between the physical specifications. The principal features of catalytic devices are outlined and some experimental work described. This includes measurements concerning the structure and mechanical properties of the artifact, the preparation of the catalyst coating and its interaction with the gaseous environment. The paper concludes with some speculation about the method by which the reaction actually occurs. INTRODUCTION During the late 1970's, the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority at Harwell became involved in sol-gel technology as a result of oxide fuel development. The sol-gel method was found to be suitable for the preparation of catalytic materials which eventually led to their use in car exhaust catalytic converters and for air purification catalysts. Such catalysts were usually in the form of coatings applied to supporting artifacts such as monoliths, formed from either cordierite or from a corrosion resistant metal such as Fecralloy steel (R). The UKAEA has experience in the use of sol-gel catalysts for CO removal from air and so has a technological link to a system intended to recombine O2 and CO formed in sealed C02 lasers.

  • Zinc Oxide Sulfide Scavenger Contains a High-Quality Zinc Oxide
    ZINC OXIDE ZINC OXIDE sulfide scavenger contains a high-quality ZINC OXIDE. The very fine particle-size of ZINC OXIDE scavenger results in a maximum amount of surface area for fast, efficient sulfide scavenging. It reacts with sulfides (see APPLICATIONS below) to form ZnS. This precipitate is an insoluble, inert, fine solid that remains harmlessly in the mud system or is removed by the solids-control equipment.

Tetrahedra of [InBi3] or [GaBi3] are found in (K-crypt)2[InBi3]‚en (1, P21, a ) 12.347(4) Å, b ) 20.884(4) Å, c ) 12.619(7) Å, â ) 119.02(4)°, Z ) 2) and in the isostructural (Rb-crypt)2[InBi3]‚en (2, a ) 12.403(8) Å, b ) 20.99(1) Å, c ) 12.617(9) Å, â ) 118.83(4)°) and (K-crypt)2[GaBi3]‚en (3, a ) 12.324(5) Å, b ) 20.890(8) Å, c ) 12.629(5) Å, â ) 118.91(3)°). All compounds are crystallized from ethylenediamine/ crypt solutions of precursors with nominal composition “A5E2Bi4” where A ) Na, K, or Rb and E ) Ga or In.
