Reduction of Alkynes to trans-Alkenes: Sodium in Liquid Ammonia02:10

Reduction of Alkynes to trans-Alkenes: Sodium in Liquid Ammonia

9.7K
Alkynes can be reduced to trans-alkenes using sodium or lithium in liquid ammonia. The reaction, known as dissolving metal reduction, proceeds with an anti addition of hydrogen across the carbon–carbon triple bond to form the trans product. Since ammonia exists as a gas (bp = −33°C) at room temperature, the reaction is carried out at low temperatures using a mixture of dry ice (sublimes at −78°C) and acetone. 
When dissolved in liquid ammonia, an alkali metal,...

Ionic Bonding and Electron Transfer02:48

Ionic Bonding and Electron Transfer

42.5K
Ions are atoms or molecules bearing an electrical charge. A cation (a positive ion) forms when a neutral atom loses one or more electrons from its valence shell, and an anion (a negative ion) forms when a neutral atom gains one or more electrons in its valence shell. Compounds composed of ions are called ionic compounds (or salts), and their constituent ions are held together by ionic bonds: electrostatic forces of attraction between oppositely charged cations and anions.

Ion Exchange01:17

Ion Exchange

671
Ion exchange chromatography separates charged molecules from a solution by reversibly exchanging them with mobile, or 'active', ions associated with the oppositely charged stationary phase. This method can be used to separate ions, soften and deionize water, and purify solutions. The polymers comprising the ion-exchange column are high-molecular-weight and chemically stable polymers, crosslinked to be porous and essentially insoluble. They are also functionalized with either acidic or...

Intermolecular Forces03:13

Intermolecular Forces

61.4K
Atoms and molecules interact through bonds (or forces): intramolecular and intermolecular. The forces are electrostatic as they arise from interactions (attractive or repulsive) between charged species (permanent, partial, or temporary charges) and exist with varying strengths between ions, polar, nonpolar, and neutral molecules. The different types of intermolecular forces are ion–dipole, dipole–dipole, hydrogen bonds, and dispersion; among these, dipole–dipole, hydrogen...

Ion-Exchange Chromatography01:09

Ion-Exchange Chromatography

807
Ion-exchange chromatography, or IEC, is a technique for separating ions based on their affinity for the stationary phase. The stationary phase is a cross-linked polymer resin with covalently attached ionic functional groups. The functional groups can be either positively charged (cation exchangers) or negatively charged (anion exchangers). A cation exchanger consists of a polymeric anion and active cations, while an anion exchanger is a polymeric cation with active anions. The choice of...

π Molecular Orbitals of the Allyl Cation and Anion01:18

π Molecular Orbitals of the Allyl Cation and Anion

4.7K
An allyl group is a three-carbon conjugated system where the sp³-hybridized allylic carbon is bonded to a CH=CH2 group via a single bond. Allyl anions can be obtained by treating propene with a strong base that can deprotonate methyl groups. Allyl cations are formed as intermediates during substitution reactions involving allylic halides. In both cases, the hybridization of the allylic carbon changes from sp3 to sp2, giving rise to a carbon chain with three sp2-hybridized carbons, each with...

Summary

Ionic liquid diffusion was studied using 19F Nuclear Magnetic Resonance. Shorter alkyl chains on cations correlated with anion movement, while longer chains showed less correlation.

Area of Science:

  • Physical Chemistry
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Ionic liquids (ILs) are salts that are liquid at room temperature, with tunable properties.
  • Understanding ion dynamics in ILs is crucial for their application in various fields.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between cation alkyl chain length and ion diffusion in ionic liquids.
  • To determine cation-anion relative translation diffusion coefficients.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized 19F Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spin-lattice relaxation experiments.
  • Conducted experiments across a frequency range of 10 kHz to 10 MHz and varying temperatures.
  • Analyzed relaxation data to determine diffusion coefficients.

Main Results:

  • Determined cation-anion relative translation diffusion coefficients for ILs with varying cation alkyl chain lengths.
  • Observed correlated translational movement between the anion and shorter-chain cations (triethylhexylammonium, triethyloctylammonium, decyltriethylammonium, dodecyltriethylammonium).
  • Found less correlated movement between the anion and longer-chain cations (decyltriethylammonium, hexadecyltriethylammonium).

Conclusions:

  • Cation alkyl chain length significantly influences ion dynamics in ionic liquids.
  • Shorter alkyl chains promote correlated anion and cation movement, while longer chains lead to more independent ion diffusion.
