Zn 2+ is a class A acceptor in the classification of Ahrland, Chatt and Davies, [16] and so forms stronger complexes with the first-row donor atoms oxygen or nitrogen than with second-row sulfur or phosphorus. In terms of HSAB theory Zn 2+ is a hard acid. In aqueous solution an octahedral complex, [Zn(H 2 O) 6] 2+ is the predominant species. [17]
When Zn 2+ compounds form, the outer shell s electrons are lost, yielding a bare zinc ion with the electronic configuration [Ar]3d 10. [55] The filled interior d shell generally does not participate in bonding, producing diamagnetic and mostly colorless compounds. [53] In aqueous solution an octahedral complex, [Zn(H 2 O) 6] 2+ is the ...
In aqueous solution, all forms of zinc sulfate behave identically. These aqueous solutions consist of the metal aquo complex [Zn(H 2 O) 6] 2+ and SO 2− 4 ions. Barium sulfate forms when these solutions are treated with solutions of barium ions: ZnSO 4 + BaCl 2 → BaSO 4 + ZnCl 2. With a reduction potential of −0.76 V, zinc(II) reduces only ...
A dramatic example is the conversion of methanol into hexamethylbenzene using zinc chloride as the solvent and catalyst: [48] 15 CH 3 OH → C 6 (CH 3) 6 + 3 CH 4 + 15 H 2 O. This kind of reactivity has been investigated for the valorization of C1 precursors. [49] Examples of zinc chloride as a Lewis acid include the Fischer indole synthesis: [50]
Zinc acetate is a salt with the formula Zn(CH 3 CO 2) 2, which commonly occurs as the dihydrate Zn(CH 3 CO 2) 2 ·2H 2 O. Both the hydrate and the anhydrous forms are colorless solids that are used as dietary supplements. When used as a food additive, it has the E number E650.
The pyrithione ligands, which are formally monoanions, are chelated to Zn 2+ via oxygen and sulfur centers. In the crystalline state, zinc pyrithione exists as a centrosymmetric dimer (see figure), where each zinc is bonded to two sulfur and three oxygen centers. [3] In solution, however, the dimers dissociate via scission of one Zn-O bond ...
Zn(CN) 2 is easy to make by combining aqueous solutions of cyanide and zinc ions, for example via the double replacement reaction between KCN and ZnSO 4: [5] ZnSO 4 + 2 KCN → Zn(CN) 2 + K 2 SO 4. For commercial applications, some effort is made to avoid halide impurities by using acetate salts of zinc: [5] [6] Zn(CH 3 COO) 2 + HCN → Zn(CN ...
Diethylzinc (C 2 H 5) 2 Zn, or DEZ, is a highly pyrophoric and reactive organozinc compound consisting of a zinc center bound to two ethyl groups. This colourless liquid is an important reagent in organic chemistry. It is available commercially as a solution in hexanes, heptane, or toluene, or as a pure liquid.
