The distribution of alkali metal picrates between water and polyurethane foam was studied in the presence of dicyclohexyl 18-crown-6 (DCHC-6). The extraction constants and dissociation constants for the ion pair (MCrA) in polyurethane foam were determined. The extraction constant sequence of the alkali metal ions with DCHC-6 is K+ > Rb+ > Cs+ > Na+ and mainly depends on the stability of the alkali metal – crown ether complex.

The Individual

Infrared spectra of the surfaces of vanadium pentoxide and vanadium pentoxide containing 9.09 mol% caesium and potassium, as sulphates, have been determined after exposure to 2-propanol for various times. Interpretation of the spectra leads to the proposal that the principal source of catalyst activity may be associated with surface hydrogen and hydroxyl groups on V5+ and V4+ sites. The "stability" of the catalysts towards reduction by the alcohol was consistent with the activity series derived from kinetic measurements: V2O5 (pure) < V2O5 (Cs) < V2O5 (K). The degree of sample reduction has also been assessed qualitatively by measurements of the ratio of surface area before to that after reaction and the same catalyst sequence was established. The trend in surface area ratios was similar to that shown by the surface "Tammann" temperatures of vanadium pentoxide and alkali metal sulphates which has been taken to imply that the ease and (or) extent with which the sulphates enter into inter-solid reactions with the oxide in the preparation stage may exert influence on the subsequent reducibility of the individual members of the catalyst series.

Cation Size

Computational studies of > 15 new crystal structures and the 10 previously-reported structures of alkali metal citrates provide insight into why the atoms are where they are. The metal-citrate bonding is predominantly ionic, with very little covalent character, which decreases as the cation size increases. Bond valence calculations indicate that most cations are crowded, and that the crowding decreases as the cation size increases. Although most oxygen atoms coordinate to the metals, a few do not, and they tend to be the least-negative oxygens. Both the citrate hydroxyl groups and water molecules tend to bridge two cations, and the carboxylate coordination is more varied. The solid state energy differences are dominated by differences in van der Waals and electrostatic energy contributions. In the Li and Na salts, the citrate anion occurs predominantly in a higher-energy "kinked" conformation, rather than the extended lowest-energy conformation observed in salts of the larger cations. Detailed conformational analysis of the citrate anions enables quantification of the conformational energy costs in these solids. Hydrogen bonding is important to the stability of these salts. The Mulliken overlap population in the hydrogen bonds provides a quantitative measure of their strength, and permits identification of long (weak) interactions which are significant in some of these compounds. Patterns in both the local environments of the hydrogen bonds and the more-extended features (graph sets) are noted. Polymorphs and sets of isostructural compounds permit more-detailed analysis of the structures and energetics in these compounds. The order of ionization of the three carboxylic acid groups is in general central/terminal/terminal, but there are two exceptions. While we have concentrated on salts containing a single alkali metal cation (and hydrogen), the structures of NaK2C6H5O7 and NaKHC6H5O7 provide an exciting window on a larger universe of mixed salts.

The Stability

The concept that equates oxidation and pressure has been successfully utilized in explaining the structural changes observed in the M 2S subnets of M 2SO x (x = 3, 4) compounds (M = Na, K) when compared with the structures (room- and high-pressure phases) of their parent M 2S `alloy' [Martínez-Cruz et al. (1994), J. Solid State Chem. 110, 397–398; Vegas (2000), Crystallogr. Rev. 7, 189–286; Vegas et al. (2002), Solid State Sci. 4, 1077–1081]. These structural changes suggest that if M 2SO2 would exist, its cation array might well have an anti-CaF2 structure. On the other hand, in an analysis of the existing thermodynamic data for M 2S, M 2SO3 and M 2SO4 we have identified, and report, a series of unique linear relationships between the known Δf H o and Δf G o values of the alkali metal (M) sulfide (x = 0) and their oxyanion salts M 2SO x (x = 3 and 4), and the similarly between M 2S2 disulfide (x = 0) and disulfur oxyanion salts M 2S2O x (x = 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7) and the number of O atoms in their anions x. These linear relationships appear to be unique to sulfur compounds and their inherent simplicity permits us to interpolate thermochemical data (Δf H o) for as yet unprepared compounds, M 2SO (x = 1) and M 2SO2 (x = 2). The excellent linearity indicates the reliability of the interpolated data. Making use of the volume-based thermodynamics, VBT [Jenkins et al. (1999), Inorg. Chem. 38, 3609–3620], the values of the absolute entropies were estimated and from them, the standard Δf S o values, and then the Δf G o values of the salts. A tentative proposal is made for the synthesis of Na2SO2 which involves bubbling SO2 through a solution of sodium in liquid ammonia. For this attractive thermodynamic route, we estimate ΔG o to be approximately −500 kJ mol−1. However, examination of the stability of Na2SO2 raises doubts and Na2SeO2 emerges as a more attractive target material. Its synthesis is likely to be easier and it is stable to disproportionation into Na2S and Na2SeO4. Like Na2SO2, this compound is predicted to have an anti-CaF2 Na2Se subnet.
