Reactions of Coordination Compounds in the Solid Phase

  • Chapter
Book cover Coordination Chemistry

Abstract

Many coordination compounds have been found to undergo chemical reactions in the solid phase under relatively mild conditions of pressure and temperature. Some of these reactions are well known and provide convenient synthetic procedures. For example, the common method of preparing cis-[Cr(en)2Cl2]Cl is by thermal deamination of [Cr(en)3]Cl3 in the presence of a catalytic amount of NH4Cl.1 Few detailed studies of these solid-phase reactions have been made, but at least two general reasons can be cited for giving such reactions further consideration. First, there is the question of the mechanisms involved in ligand exchange, racemization, and isomerization in the solid phase in comparison with the ways in which these processes proceed in solution. In some cases, mechanisms proposed for solid-phase reactions clearly differ from mechanisms proposed for corresponding solution reactions. What causes the mechanisms to differ (if, indeed, they do) is not known, but this matter is clearly of interest to our understanding of the factors governing the reaction mechanisms of coordination compounds. Secondly, some of the reactions are of interest as possible model systems for studying the chemical behavior of solids.
