Basic Introduction

edit
An ion is a stable structure in which an atom loses or gains one or more electrons due to its own or external effects, making it reach the outermost electron number of 8 or 2.
The charged particles formed after atoms lose or gain electrons are called ions, such as sodium ion Na + The charged atomic group is also called "ion", such as sulfate ion. Some molecules can also form ions under special circumstances.
Generally speaking, the outermost electron number of the atomic nucleus is less than 4, which usually forms a cation, and the number greater than 4, which usually forms an anion. Another rule is that the outermost electron number of the atomic nucleus also determines the valence of the element, which is the number before the plus or minus sign.
Cation refers to the stable structure in which an atom loses one or more electrons due to external action, making the number of its outermost electrons reach 8 or 2. The larger the atomic radius, the stronger the ability of losing electrons, and the stronger the metallicity. The strongest metal element is francium (Fr).

Cationic polymerization

Ionic polymerization is an important reaction for the synthesis of polymer compounds. Ionic polymerization chain polymerization The active center is ion. According to the charge of the central ion, it can be divided into Cationic polymerization and Anionic polymerization Reaction. Polyisobutene Polyoxymethylene Polyethylene oxide , SBS thermoplastic elastomer, etc. are synthesized by ionic polymerization.
Cationic polymerized monomer Monomers capable of cationic polymerization include olefins, aldehydes, cyclic ethers and cyclic amides. Different monomers have different cationic polymerization activities.
In principle, all olefin monomers with electron pushing substituents can undergo cationic polymerization. The electron pushing substituent makes the electron cloud density of carbon carbon double bond increase, which is beneficial to the attack of cationic active species; On the other hand, it makes the generated carbon cation charge disperse and stable.
Ethylene has no side groups, and the electron cloud density on the double bond is low. It is not easy to polarize. Low affinity for cationic active species. Therefore, cationic polymerization is difficult. Methyl and ethyl groups on propylene and butene are electron pushing groups, and the density of double bond electron cloud has increased, but the power supply of one alkyl group is not strong, and the polymerization growth rate is not too fast. The generated carbon cation is a secondary carbon cation, and the charge cannot be well dispersed and is not stable enough, so side reactions such as rearrangement are likely to occur, resulting in more stable i-level carbon cation. Take 3-methyl-1-butene as an example:
H + +H two C═CH—CH(CH three )—CH three —→CH three —CH + —CH(CH three )—CH three —→CH three —CH two —C + (CH three ) two
The rearrangement results in branching. Therefore, only low molecular weight oil can be obtained through cationic polymerization of propylene and butylene.
isobutene There are two methyl groups supplying power, which makes the density of double bond electron cloud increase a lot, vulnerable to the attack of cationic active species, and initiates cationic polymerization. Generated ~ CH two C + (CH three ) two It's Level III C + , relatively stable. In chain - CH two The hydrogen on - is protected by four methyl groups on both sides and is not easy to be captured, reducing side reactions such as rearrangement and branching. Therefore, linear polymers with high relative molecular weight can be generated. More advanced replacement α -Olefins can only be polymerized into dimers due to steric hindrance. Isobutene is actually the only monomer in a-olefin that can undergo cationic polymerization. Another vinyl monomer capable of cationic polymerization is alkyl vinyl ether. Although alkoxy group has the induction effect of electron absorption, which will reduce the density of double bond electron cloud, there is no shared electron pair energy on oxygen and the double bond forms P-π conjugation. Conjugation effect is dominant, resulting in an increase in electron cloud density. The conjugation effect of unshared electron pairs on alkoxy oxygen can also disperse the charge of the formed carbon cation. As a result, alkyl vinyl ether can only be cationic polymerized. The initiators used for cationic polymerization are Electrophilic reagent Common cationic polymerization initiators include proton acid and cation source/Lewis acid based initiator systems. [1]

Preparation of cation analysis test solution

Select appropriate solvent to dissolve the sample according to the results of solubility test. Attention shall be paid to:
1. When the sample can be dissolved in two solvents, such as water and acid (or dilute acid and concentrated acid), water should be used first and then acid, and dilute first and then concentrated. If you can dissolve it with the former, do not use the latter.
2. When the sample can be partially dissolved in water, first dissolve it in water, and then treat the insoluble part with acid. Several test solutions obtained should be analyzed separately, and finally the results obtained should be judged comprehensively to get the results.
3. If the sample is dissolved with concentrated acid, the solution obtained shall be evaporated nearly dry to remove excess acid; After cooling, the residue is dissolved with water to make analytical solution. [2]

Analytical characteristics of cations

The analytical characteristics of ions refer to some properties of ions related to identification and separation, such as color, acid-base property, redox property, solubility and volatility of corresponding compounds.
Under certain range and conditions, the same properties of some ions are called commonness, and the significantly different properties are called characteristics. The separation characteristics can be used for the identification of this ion, while the commonness of some ions can be used for the separation of this group of ions, and then the identification can be carried out in a small range, simplifying the complex analysis.

Preliminary Test of Cation Qualitative Analysis

Through the preliminary test, it can be judged whether some cations exist, and then determine the analysis steps and select the test method. Common preliminary tests include HCl, H two SO four 、NaOH、NH three ·H two O. Chromate, sulfide, etc. [4]
1. HCl test: take a little test solution, add 2 drops of 0.1 moI/L HCl, only Ag + 、Pb 2+ 、Hg two 2+ 、Tl + It can interact with HCl and generate white precipitates. AgCI precipitates can be soluble in ammonia water, and can also be partially soluble in concentrated HCl. PbCI two The solubility of is relatively large, only in Pb 2+ Precipitation occurs only when the concentration is high, PbCl two Precipitation is also soluble in hot water. In the test solution, if there is no white precipitation after adding HCl, it can only prove that there is no Ag + 、Hg two 2+ And Tl + Exists, but cannot prove no Pb 2+ Exists. It must be noted that when the acidity of the solution is low, Bi 3+ 、Sb 3+ 、Sn 2+ And Sn 4+ Alkaline salt precipitation is resolved by water.
2、H two SO four Test: take a little test solution and add 2 drops of H two SO four Solution, only Ba 2+ 、Sr 2+ 、Ca 2+ 、Pb 2+ 、Hg two 2+ And H two SO four Function, forming white precipitate. CaSO four The solubility of Ca is relatively high, only when Ca 2+ Precipitation occurs only when the concentration is high. If appropriate ethanol is added to the solution towel, CaSO four The solubility of is greatly reduced. PbSO four Precipitation is soluble in NH four Ac,BaSO four 、SrSO four And Hg two SO four It is slightly soluble in strong acid.
3. NaOH and NH three ·H two O Test The following is the dissolution rule of metal hydroxide:
(1) In monovalent metal ions, alkali hydroxide can be soluble in water, but Cu + 、Hg two 2+ 、Ag + And Au + It can generate hydroxide or oxide precipitation.
(2) In divalent metal ions, except Ca 2+ 、Sr 2+ 、Ba 2+ Only hydroxide precipitates can be formed in concentrated NaOH solution. Hydroxides of other metals are insoluble in water, but Pb 2+ 、Sn 2+ 、Be 2+ 、Zn 2+ It is obviously amphoteric and soluble in the most NaOH solution.
(3) Both trivalent and tetravalent metal hydroxides will be insoluble in water, similar to Al 3+ 、Cr 3+ 、Sb 3+ 、Ga 3+ 、ln 3+ And Sn 4+ It is amphoteric and soluble in excess NaOH solution.
(4)Ag + 、Cu 2+ 、Zn 2+ 、Cd 2+ 、Co 2+ And Ni 2+ Can form complex ammonia ion, so its hydroxide is soluble in NH three ·H two O。 [3]
The test can be carried out in a small test tube. Take 10 drops of test solution and add 3-5 drops of 0.1 mol/L NaOH or 0.1 mol/L NH three ·H two O. Observe whether there is precipitation and the color of precipitation, and then drip 2 mol/L NaOH or 2mol/L NH into the precipitation three ·H two O. Then observe the change of precipitation. [2]
