Carbide bromide

Last updated

Carbide bromides are mixed anion compounds containing bromide and carbide anions. Many carbide bromides are cluster compounds, containing on, two or more carbon atoms in a core, surrounded by a layer of metal atoms, encased in a shell of bromide ions. These ions may be shared between clusters to form chains, double chains or layers. [1]

The great majority of these carbide bromide compounds contain rare earth elements. Since these elements have similar properties, similar structures can be made by substituting the elements. R2CBr2 forms a structure with layers of R6C clusters that contain one carbon atom. Each layer has bromide coating the top and bottom. Very similar is R2CBr2 which has layers of R6C2 clusters containing pairs of carbon atoms. This dicarbon is an ethenide (C24−), and contains a double bond. Layers have bromide on both sides, and so they are only weakly held together by van der Waals forces. If these layers are aligned with each other a 1T- form results with a small c measurement on the unit cell. In some compounds the layers are not quite aligned, but repeat after three layers giving a 3R form, with a larger c unit cell height. Where the layers align, the crystal system is trigonal. But if the layers never quite align at any height, a monoclinic crystal results. The C2 unit sits at an angle to the layers, and thus reduces symmetry compared to compounds with single carbon atoms in the cluster. [1]

In R2CBr there are layers of R6C that share bromide between layers. [1]

Indium(III) bromide, (indium tribromide), InBr3, is a chemical compound of indium and bromine. It is a Lewis acid and has been used in organic synthesis.

There are three sets of Indium halides, the trihalides, the monohalides, and several intermediate halides. In the monohalides the oxidation state of indium is +1 and their proper names are indium(I) fluoride, indium(I) chloride, indium(I) bromide and indium(I) iodide.

Vanadium(II) bromide is a inorganic compound with the formula VBr2. It adopts the cadmium iodide structure, featuring octahedral V(II) centers. A hexahydrate is also known. The hexahydrate undergoes partial dehydration to give the tetrahydrate. Both the hexa- and tetrahydrates are bluish in color. The compound is produced by the reduction of vanadium(III) bromide with hydrogen.

Some different kinds include ionic alkali or alkaline earth salts, small clusters where metal atoms surround a nitrogen atom, layered group 4 element 2-dimensional structures, and transition metal nitrido complexes counter-balanced with iodide ions. There is also a family with rare earth elements and nitrogen and sulfur in a cluster.

Carbide chlorides are mixed anion compounds containing chloride anions and anions consisting entirely of carbon. In these compounds there is no bond between chlorine and carbon. But there is a bond between a metal and carbon. Many of these compounds are cluster compounds, in which metal atoms encase a carbon core, with chlorine atoms surrounding the cluster. The chlorine may be shared between clusters to form polymers or layers. Most carbide chloride compounds contain rare earth elements. Some are known from group 4 elements. The hexatungsten carbon cluster can be oxidised and reduced, and so have different numbers of chlorine atoms included.

Carbide iodides are mixed anion compounds containing iodide and carbide anions. Many carbide iodides are cluster compounds, containing one, two or more carbon atoms in a core, surrounded by a layer of metal atoms, and encased in a shell of iodide ions. These ions may be shared between clusters to form chains, double chains or layers.
