  1. Complex metal hydride

    Complex metal hydrides are salts wherein the anions contain hydride s. In the older chemical literature as well as contemporary Solid state chemistry materials science textbooks, a metal hydride is assumed to be nonmolecular, i.e. three dimensional lattices of atomic ions. In such systems, hydrides are often interstitial and nonstoichiometric compound nonstoichiometric , and the bonding between the metal and hydrogen atoms is significantly ionic bonding ionic . In contrast, complex metal hydrides typically contain more than one type of metal or metalloid and may be soluble but invariably react with water. They exhibit ionic bonding between a positive metal ion with molecular anion s containing the hydride. In such materials the hydrogen is bonded with significant covalent character to the second metal or metalloid atoms. ref name Holle Holleman, A. F. Wiberg, E. Inorganic Chemistry Academic Press San Diego, 2001. ISBN 0 12 352651 5. ref Examples In general, complex metal hydrides have the formula M sub x sub M sub y sub H sub n sub , where M is an alkali metal cation or cation complex and M is a metal or metalloid. Well known examples feature group 13 element s, especially boron and aluminium including sodium aluminium hydride , NaAlH sub 4 sub also known as sodium alanate , lithium aluminum hydride , LiAlH sub 4 sub , and lithium borohydride , LiBH sub 4 sub .

  1. Semimetal

    For the class of chemical element s on the periodic table metalloid Cleanup article date April 2008 Image Semimetal.PNG frame This diagram illustrates a direct semiconductor A , an indirect semiconductor B , and a semimetal C . According to Band theory electronic band theory , solids can be classified as insulators, semiconductors, semimetals, or metals. In insulators and semiconductors the filled valence band is separated from an empty conduction band by a band gap . For insulators, the magnitude of the band gap is larger e.g. 4 eV than that of a semiconductor e.g. 4 eV . Metal s have a partially filled conduction band. A semimetal is a material with a very small overlap between the bottom of the Electrical conduction conduction Electronic band structure band and the top of the valence band . A semimetal thus has no band gap and a negligible density of states at the Fermi level . A metal, by contrast, has an appreciable density of states at the Fermi level because the conduction band is partially filled. ref cite book first Gerald last Burns title Solid State Physics year 1985 publisher Academic Press, Inc. isbn 0 12 146070 3 pages 339 40 ref The insulating semiconducting states differ from the semimetallic metallic states in the temperature dependency of their electrical conductivity. With a metal which has only one type of charge carrier electrons , the conductivity decreases with increases in temperature due to increasing interaction of electrons with phonons lattice vibrations . With an insulator or semiconductor which have two types of charge carriers holes and electrons , both the carrier mobilities and carrier concentrations will contribute to the conductivity and these have different temperature dependencies. Ultimately, it is observed that the conductivity of insulators and semiconductors increase with initial increases in temperature above absolute zero as more ... two As, Sb are also considered metalloids but the terms semimetal and metalloid are not synonymous ...   more details

  1. Metallome

    The term metallome has been introduced by R.J.P. Williams by analogy with proteome as distribution of free metal ions in every one of Cell biology cellular compartments. Subsequently, the term metallomics has been coined as the study of metallome. Szpunar 2005 defined metallomics as comprehensive analysis of the entirety of metal and metalloid species within a cell or tissue type . Therefore, metallomics can be considered a branch of metabolomics , even though the metals are not typically considered as metabolites . Hiroki Haraguchi gave an alternative definition of metallomes as metalloprotein s or any other metal containing biomolecules , and metallomics as a study of such biomolecules. In the study of metallomes the transcriptome, proteome and the metabolome will constitute the whole metallome. A study of the metallome is done to arrive at the metallointeractome The metallotranscriptome word introduced by Shanker et al. 2009 by can be ideally defined as the map of the entire transcriptome in the presence of biologically or environmentally relevant concentrations of an essential or toxic metal, respectively metallometabolome would constitute the complete pool of small metabolites in a cell at any given time and this would give rise to the whole metallointeractome and knowledge of this would be of paramount importance in comparative metallomics dealing with toxicity and drug discovery.

  1. Amorphous brazing foil

    The filler metal FM alloy s that can be produced as amorphous brazing foils ABF are eutectic compositions formed by transition metal s such as nickel , iron , copper , etc., in combination with metalloid s, such as silicon , boron and phosphorus . In conventional crystalline state, all these materials are inherently brittle and cannot be produced in continuous forms such as foil, wire, etc. Therefore, they were available only as powders, pastes, or their derivates. On the other hand, the very presence of metalloids at or near the eutectic concentration promotes the rapid solidification RS conversion of such alloys into a ductile amorphous foil. Production The production of amorphous alloy s requires a manufacturing technology that operates on the basis of the necessary cooling rates, which is known as rapid solidification, or melt spinning technology. Amorphous structures are characterized by the absence of a crystal lattice or a long range order. With this random, spatially uniform arrangement of the constituent atoms, their structure is similar to that of liquids. The nature of this production process is the reason why amorphous alloys are offered only in the form of thin, ductile metal foils. Subsequently, tapes, parts and preforms can be made by e.g. slitting, cutting, stamping and etching. Properties Amorphous brazing foils are compositionally much more uniform even after crystallization, they melt over a narrow temperature range under transient heating. This is a consequence of the shorter distances over which atoms of different elements have to diffuse in order to form a uniform liquid phase. The resulting instant melting and their superior flow characteristic is only one of the important features of ABFs. The absence of the residual organic solvent bases evident in powder paste tapes correspondingly eliminates soot formation and furnace fouling. The low level of gaseous impurities in ABFs, due to the specific characteristics of its production technology, is ...   more details

  1. Redistribution (chemistry)

    In chemistry, redistribution usually refers to the exchange of anionic ligands bonded to metal and metalloid centers. The conversion does not involve redox, in contrast to disproportionation reactions. Redistribution reactions are usefully conducted at higher temperatures upon cooling the mixture, the product mixture is kinetically frozen and the individual products can be separated. In cases where redistribution is rapid at mild temperatures, the reaction is less useful synthetically but still important mechanistically. Examples Useful redistribution reactions are found in organoaluminium compound organoaluminium , organoboron chemistry organoboron , and organosilicon chemistry . ref Greenwood, N.

  1. James P. Collman

    James P. Collman born 1932 in Beatrice, Nebraska is an American Professor of Chemistry. He is currently serving at Stanford University in California. Collman is considered a pioneer in bioinorganic and biomimetic chemistry. He developed a clearer understanding of the mechanisms of biological proteins, by studying synthetic analogs of biological systems which contain metal and metalloid atoms. His work on hemoglobin, myoglobin and cytochrome c oxidase allowed subsequent researchers to understand how the protein metal interactions allow these molecules to function. ref Chemical & Engineering News , 19 January 2009, p. 73 ref Career Collman received B.S. 1954 and M.S. degrees 1956 in Chemistry from the University of Nebraska Lincoln . He received a Ph.D. degree from the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign in 1958 under Reynold C. Fuson . Upon receiving his Ph. D., Collman joined the faculty of University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill , remaining there until 1967, when he moved to Stanford University. He currently holds the George & Hilda M. Daubert Endowed Chair in Chemistry at Stanford. Collman has contributed to several aspects of transition metal chemistry. He has authored 3 books and over 366 Academic publishing scientific papers . In the 1960s his group demonstrated that certain metal acetylacetonate s undergo Friedel Crafts like reactions, indicating that these chelate rings have aromatic character. Through reviews as well as original research, his group popularized the oxidative addition reaction, leading to the discovery of new low valent complexes including Ru CO sub 3 sub PPh sub 3 sub sub 2 sub and IrCl N sub 2 sub PPh sub 3 sub sub 2 sub . Collman s reagent , Na sub 2 sub Fe CO sub 4 sub , prepared in his laboratories, enables certain C C coupling reactions in organic synthesis . He popularized the use of tetraphenylporphyrin as a Biomimicry biomimetic Ligand biochemistry ligand for exploring the structure and function of myoglobin , cytochrome P4 ...   more details
