(B15c5)Bii3(I2): Molecular Benzo-15-Crown-5―Bii3 Complexes Bridged By Iodine Molecules To Chains, Christoph Fiolka, Mark Richter, Ingo Pantenburg, Anja V. Mudring, Gerd Meyer

Anja V. Mudring

The reaction of bismuth triiodide with iodine and benzo-15-crown-5 in ethanol/dichloromethane yielded red single crystals of (b15c5)BiI3(I2) (monoclinic, P21/c (no. 14), a = 1376.9(1), b = 1172.7(1), c = 1700.2(2) pm, b = 115.197(6), V = 2484.1(4)·106 pm3, Z = 4). Neutral pseudo-octahedral complexes (b15c5)BiI3 are connected by secondary bonding interactions via iodine molecules to chains. Electronic structure calculations of the neutral complex (b15c5)BiI3 reveal that the compound can indeed be described as b15c5 interacting with a molecular BiI3 unit. However, bonding has to be mainly electrostatic as the interactions of the bismuth 6s lone pair with the 2p orbitals …

The Effects Of Lime On The Amalgamation Of Gold., Rollien R. Wells

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

An amalgam is an alloy of mercury with other metals, and amalgamation is the art of making or forming amalgams. In metallurgical language the word is limited to the means adopted for the recovery of gold and silver from their ores by the use of mercury.


An Investigation Of The Properties Of Some Of The White Metal Alloys, William James Walsh Jr. May 1935

An Investigation Of The Properties Of Some Of The White Metal Alloys, William James Walsh Jr.

Bachelors Theses and Reports, 1928 - 1970

Although there is no standardized list of alloys, most investigators have, to avoid confusion, concurred in at least grouping the metals under several general heads. Precious metals: gold, silver and the platinum group; the light metals: aluminum and magnesium; the non-ferrous metals (excluding all steels and iron-base alloys); and the antifriction metals.
