  2. Element properties

  3. Elemental forms Boron has 3 polytypes, all contain B12 icosahedra. Two major sources of B are in the Mohave desert, Turkey. Al to Tl All are cp metal structures (except Ga - mp 30°C, bp 2403°C)

  4. Ellinghamdiagram Al metal Al3+ is abundant in the crust, but Al is very electropositive Al(0H)4¯ / Al E0 = −2.3 V Reduction with C or CO requires t > 2000 °C

  5. Hall Herault process (1888) Al2O3 Al (m) +e¯ , ~5V Al (m) production by electrolysis Price $ / kg Al 1852 1200 1886 17 1890 5 1950 0.4 2004 1.6 Na3AlF6(liq)

  6. Halides BX3 : Lewis acidity BBr3 > BCl3 > BF3 This is the opposite of expected inductive effect B(s) + 3/2 F2(g)  BF3(g) −1109 3F(g)  3/2 F2(g) −3/2 D(F-F) = −233 B(g)  B(s) −406 B(g) + 3 F(g)  BF3(g) −1748 So Davg (B-F) = 583 note for comparison that D(C-F) ~ 490 kJ/mol But ΔH (BF3(g) + F− (g)  BF4− (g)) = −380 The lower LA is attributed to loss of π-bonding upon D3h Td geometry change Only BF3 is stable in aqueous solution: BCl3 + 3H2O  B(OH)3 + 3HCl Similarly, BF4− is stable in aqu acid, but not BCl4−,BBr4− AlF4− Td AlF63− Oh (only period 3 and higher can be hypervalent

  7. Borates B(OH)3 + 2H2O → H3O+ + B(OH)4− pK ~ 9 (weak BA and LA) B3O3(OH)4− 2 B with CN=3, 1 B with CN=4 Borate esters B(OR)3 ex: B(OCH3)3 a weak LA

Organoaluminum compounds Al2R6 dimeric except for large R groups Al2R6↔ 2 AlR3 K ~ 10-8 for R = CH3 K ~ 10-4 for R = C4H9 K > 1 for R = C6H3(CH3)3 Al2Me6 + 2 HCl  Al2Cl2Me4 + 2 CH4 + 2 ROH  Al2(OR)2Me4 + 2 CH4 preference for bridging sites is OR- ~ X- > H- > Ph- > R- Need good e-donor and small size to bridge

  19. Organometallic compounds Δ Al(iso-C4H9)3 Al2H2(iso-C4H9)4 + 2 H2C=C(CH3)2 alkene elimination 3 Al2Cl2Me4 + 6 Na  2 Al2Me6 + 2 Al + 6 NaCl Tl(CH3)3 Tl(CH3)2+ is linear, stable in aqu base, isoelectronic w/ Hg(CH3)2 (η5-C5H5)Tl is air stable monomeric in gas phase, chain structure in solid state

  20.
