QM calculation on Te-O chain, replacing in-plane Te-O-M bonds with Te-OH H2O TeF4 is hypervalent with in-plane bonds at ~95° and out-of-plane bonds at ~180°. For M2 Phase we find Te-O-Te-O-Te-O hypervalent chains
Expect that Te=O can extract allylic Hydrogen H All Te are TeIV before and after the H abstraction Te=O extracts Allylic H to from TeOH while allyl trapped on nearby Mo=NH H2O Continue with previous mechanism for propene on BiMoOx

Benzene detail Benzene chemisorbs horizontally on the Ni particle surface through pi electrons. As H removed, get strong C-Ni sigma bonds, reorienting benzene vertically. C atoms denuded of H are “swallowed” by the particle by Pac-Man mechanism, for cleaving C-C bonds. C-H bonds far from the surface are protected until the C atoms separating them from the surface are “eaten” away.

Ionic bonding (chapter 9) Consider the covalent bond of Na to Cl. There Is very little contragradience, leading to an extremely weak bond. Alternatively, consider transferring the charge from Na to Cl to form Na+ and Cl-
The ionic limit At R=∞ the cost of forming Na+ and Cl- is IP(Na) = 5.139 eV minus EA(Cl) = 3.615 eV = 1.524 eV But as R is decreased the electrostatic energy drops as DE(eV) = - 14.4/R(A) or DE (kcal/mol) = -332.06/R(A) Thus this ionic curve crosses the covalent curve at R=14.4/1.524=9.45 A Using the bond distance of NaCl=2.42A leads to a coulomb energy of 6.1eV leading to a bond of 6.1-1.5=4.6 eV The exper De = 4.23 eV Showing that ionic character dominates E(eV) R(A)
GVB orbitals of NaCl Dipole moment = 9.001 Debye Pure ionic 11.34 Debye Thus Dq=0.79 e
electronegativity To provide a measure to estimate polarity in bonds, Linus Pauling developed a scale of electronegativity () where the atom that gains charge is more electronegative and the one that loses is more electropositive He arbitrarily assigned =4 for F, 3.5 for O, 3.0 for N, 2.5 for C, 2.0 for B, 1.5 for Be, and 1.0 for Li and then used various experiments to estimate other cases . Current values are on the next slide Mulliken formulated an alternative scale such that M= (IP+EA)/5.2
Electronegativity Based on M++
Ionic crystals Starting with two NaCl monomer, it is downhill by 2.10 eV (at 0K) for form the dimer Because of repulsion between like charges the bond lengths, increase by 0.26A. A purely electrostatic calculation would have led to a bond energy of 1.68 eV Similarly, two dimers can combine to form a strongly bonded tetramer with a nearly cubic structure Continuing, combining 4x1018 such dimers leads to a grain of salt in which each Na has 6 Cl neighbors and each Cl has 6 Na neighbors
The NaCl or B1 crystal All alkali halides have this structure except CsCl, CsBr, CsI (they have the B2 structure)
The CsCl or B2 crystal There is not yet a good understanding of the fundamental reasons why particular compound prefer particular structures. But for ionic crystals the consideration of ionic radii has proved useful
Ionic radii, main group Fitted to various crystals. Assumes O2- is 1.40A NaCl R=1.02+1.81 = 2.84, exper is 2.84 From R. D. Shannon, Acta Cryst. A32, 751 (1976)
Role of ionic sizes in determining crystal structures Assume that the anions are large and packed so that they contact, so that 2RA < L, where L is the distance between anions Assume that the anion and cation are in contact. Calculate the smallest cation consistent with 2RA < L. RA+RC = (√3)L/2 > (√3) RA Thus RC/RA > 0.732 RA+RC = L/√2 > √2 RA Thus RC/RA > 0.414 Thus for 0.414 < (RC/RA ) < 0.732 we expect B1 For (RC/RA ) > 0.732 either is ok. For (RC/RA ) < 0.414 must be some other structure
Radius Ratios of Alkali Halides and Noble metal halices Rules work ok B1: 0.35 to 1.26 B2: 0.76 to 0.92 Based on R. W. G. Wyckoff, Crystal Structures, 2nd edition. Volume 1 (1963)
Radius rations B3, B4 The height of the tetrahedron is (2/3)√3 a where a is the side of the circumscribed cube The midpoint of the tetrahedron (also the midpoint of the cube) is (1/2)√3 a from the vertex. Hence (RC + RA)/L = (½) √3 a / √2 a = √(3/8) = 0.612 Thus 2RA < L = √(8/3) (RC + RA) = 1.633 (RC + RA) Thus 1.225 RA < (RC + RA) or RC/RA > 0.225 Thus B3,B4 should be the stable structures for 0.225 < (RC/RA) < 0. 414
Structures for II-VI compounds B3 for 0.20 < (RC/RA) < 0.55 B1 for 0.36 < (RC/RA) < 0.96

Electrostatic Balance Postulate For an ionic crystal the charges transferred from all cations must add up to the extra charges on all the anions. We can do this bond by bond, but in many systems the environments of the anions are all the same as are the environments of the cations. In this case the bond polarity (S) of each cation-anion pair is the same and we write S = zC/nC where zC is the net charge on the cation and nC is the coordination number Then zA = Si SI = Si zCi /ni Example1 : SiO2. in most phases each Si is in a tetrahedron of O2- leading to S=4/4=1. Thus each O2- must have just two Si neighbors

Example 2 of electrostatic balance: stishovite phase of SiO2 The stishovite phase of SiO2 has six coordinate Si, S=2/3. Thus each O must have 3 Si neighbors Rutile-like structure, with 6-coordinate Si; high pressure form densest of the SiO2 polymorphs tetragonaltP6, P42/mnm, No.136[17] From wikipedia
TiO2, example 3 electrostatic balance Example 3: the rutile, anatase, and brookite phases of TiO2 all have octahedral Ti. Thus S= 2/3 and each O must be coordinated to 3 Ti. top anatase phase TiO2 right front
Corundum (a-Al2O3). Example 4 electrostatic balance Each Al3+ is in a distorted octahedron, leading to S=1/2. Thus each O2- must be coordinated to 4 Al
