A general survey then follows about presently known routes, to prepare carbyne complexes of uncharged and also ionic types, how t& modify them, and how to use them as starting materials for the introduction of the carbyne ligand into organic chemistry. Examples will be mentioned especially for a) CO substitution, b) halogen substitution, c) additions of nucleophiles to the crb e' d) CR-substitution, e) preparation of organic molecules which contain the cleaved CR-ligand. Combined with the preparative results x-ray structures of a great variety of such uncharged and cationic carbyne complexes will be discussed, and their importance for the determination of radii of triple bonded transition metals will be emphasized. An outlook for the preparation of new carbene complexes of transition metals, based on addition reactions of anionic nucleophiles to cationic carbyne complexes, will complete the aspects of the field. ^CHEMISTRY OF RUTHENIUM(II) AND OSMIUM(II) AMMINES Henry Taube Department of Chemistry, Stanford University Stanford, California 94305 A motivation for the study of ruthenium(II) and osmium(II) ammines is that back-bonding is an important interaction in the complexes containing also unsaturated ligands. The pentaammine-unsaturated ligand species are usually substitution inert, a property which facilitates their characterization and so they provide a convenient opportunity for studying the interface between ligands which are regarded as characteristics of organometallic compounds, and the saturated ligands which figure in the chemistry of "classical" complexes. Thoy provide, as well, an opportunity for studying in a systematic way the effects of back donation on physical properties and reactivity. The chemistry of the ruthenium ammines has been the more thoroughly studied, and some of the salient observations made with them will be reviewed. Comparisons will be made with Fe(CN)_?~ (referred to by J. Malin as the poor man's ruthenium) and with Os(NEL) 2+. The osmium(II) ammines call for more elaborate preparative procedures than suffice for ruthenium(II) ammines, and current research on these complexes will be described. ,-vnJj.Ji^ Z/ THE PFEIFFER EFFECT, OUTER-SPHERE COMPLEXATION, AND THE $7 "APP1 ABSOLUTE CONFIGURATION OF COORDINATION COMPOUNDS H.M Stanley Kirschner Department of Chemistry, Wayne State University Detroit, Michigan 48202 U. S.A. The Pfeiffer Effect is the change in optical rotation of a solution of one enantiomer an optically stable compound (called the "environment" substance) upon the addition of a racemic mixture of an optically labile complex compound. The nature of the Effect will be described, along with evidence supporting the "equilibrium displacement" mechanism proposed for the Effect. Further, the effect of Pfeiffer activity on the racemization and resolution of dissymmetric complexes is described, along with the application of the Pfeiffer Effect to the determination of absolute configuration of coordination compounds which are both optically active and optically labile. Still further, a proposal to describe the basic nature of the Effect at the molecular level is presented, which utilizes the concept of hydrogen bonding of the environment substance to pi-electron cloud systems of the ligands of the complex. With regard to dissymmetric, optically stable complexes, it has been shown that an interaction occurs between such complexes and environment substances when the latter are present in much higher concentrations than the former. A technique will be described which utilizes this phenomenon to predict the absolute configuration of dissymmetric, optically stable complexes, which is base.: upon a proposal of outer-sphere complexation through hydrogen bonding between the optically active environment substances and the ligands of the complexes. V / 7i "APPLICATIONS OF COORDINATION COMPOUNDS IN ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY" C001 H.M.N.H.Irving TYP3 Erni Department of Inorganic and Structural Chemistry, University of Leeds, Leeds LS2 9JT, England and Department of Chemistry, Ins" University of Cape Town, Cape Town, South Africa. Cai: 0101 Coordination compounds have been used extensively in analytical chemistry for over 100 years. Examples of applications in absorptiometry, atomic absorption spectroscopy, chromatography (gas-solid, liquid-solid, high-pressure and tic), gravimetry, liquid-liquid extraction and titrimetry (especially complexometry), for separation and preconcentration, for ion-selective electrodes, and for the design of highly selective reagents will emphasise those characteristics (e.g. polarity, size, colour, hydrophobicity, stability, conformation etc.) relevant to particular uses. Examples of useful steric effects, of synergism and kinetically controlled separations will be included. COORDINATION COMPOUNDS OF RARE EARTHS WITH Q X TYPE LIGANDS (X = S, N, P, As). Ernesto Giesbrecht Instituto de Quimica, Universidade de Sao Paulo Caixa Postal 20780 01000 - Sao Paulo, SP, Brazil An increasing number of complexes formed by rare earths with Q X -»• 0 type ligands are being reported in the literature. Sulphoxides, phosphine oxides and heterocyclic-N-oxides are the more important representatives of these typs of coordinating agents although some complexes of seleno1oxides and arsine 1 oxides are also described. The preparation, the properties and the more impox^tant physical and chemical characteristics will be reported. SECTION LECTURES M.
