valence bond theory for F2 (Section 1.12); molecular orbital theory for F2 (Section 1.13); electronegativities of the halogens (Section 1.15); dipole moments of hydrogen halides (Section 1.16); bonding in HF by molecular orbital theory (Section 1.17); VSEPR model (which works well for many halide compounds, Section 1.19); application of the packing-of-spheres model, solid state structure of F2 (Section 5.3); ionic radii (Section 5.10); ionic lattices: NaCl, CsCl, CaF2 , antifluorite, CdI2 (Section 5.11); lattice energies: comparisons of experimental and calculated values for metal halides (Section 5.15); estimation of fluoride ion affinities (Section 5.16); estimation of standard enthalpies of formation and disproportionation, illustrated using halide compounds (Section 5.16); halogen halides as Brønsted acids (Section 6.4); energetics of hydrogen halide dissociation in aqueous solution (Section 6.5); solubilities of metal halides (Section 6.9); common-ion effect, exemplified by AgCl (Section 6.10); stability of complexes containing hard and soft metal ions and ligands, illustrated with halides of Fe(III) and Hg(II) (Section 6.13); redox half-cells involving silver halides (Section 7.3); non-aqueous solvents: liquid HF (Section 8.7); non-aqueous solvents: BrF3 (Section 8.10); reactions of halogens with H2 (Section 9.4, equations 9.20–9.22); hydrogen bonding involving halogens (Section 9.6) Black plate (469,1) Chapter 16 Occurrence, extraction and uses In Sections 10.5, 11.5, 12.6, 13.8, 14.7 and 15.7 we have discussed the halides of the group 1, 2, 13, 14, 15 and 16 elements respectively Fluorides of the noble gases are discussed in Sections 17.4 and 17.5, and of the d- and f-block metals in Chapters 21, 22 and 24 In this chapter, we discuss the halogens themselves, their oxides and oxoacids, interhalogen compounds and polyhalide ions Astatine Astatine is the heaviest member of group 17 and is known only in the form of radioactive isotopes, all of which have short half-lives The longest lived isotope is 210 At (t12 ¼ 8:1 h) Several isotopes are present naturally as transient products of the decay of uranium and thorium minerals; 218 At is formed from the b-decay of 218 Po, but the path competes with decay to 214 Pb (the dominant decay, see Figure 2.3) Other isotopes are artificially prepared, e.g 211 At (an a211 emitter) from the nuclear reaction 209 83 Bi(a,2n) 85 At, and may 469 be separated by vacuum distillation In general, At is chemically similar to iodine Tracer studies (which are the only sources of information about the element) show that At2 is less volatile than I2 , is soluble in organic solvents, and is reduced by SO2 to Atÿ which can be coprecipitated with AgI or TlI Hypochlorite, ½ClOÿ , or peroxodisulfate, ½S2 O8 2ÿ , oxidizes astatine to an anion that is carried by ½IO3 ÿ (e.g coprecipitation with AgIO3 ) and is therefore probably ½AtO3 ÿ Less powerful oxidizing agents such as Br2 also oxidize astatine, probably to ½AtOÿ or ½AtO2 ÿ 16.2 Occurrence, extraction and uses Occurrence Figure 16.1 shows the relative abundances of the group 17 elements in the Earth’s crust and in seawater The major APPLICATIONS Box 16.1 Flame retardants The incorporation of flame retardants into consumer products is big business In Europe, the predicted split of income in 2003 between the three main categories of flame retardants is shown in the pie chart opposite The halogenbased chemicals are dominated by the perbrominated ether ðC6 Br5 Þ2 O (used in television and computer casings), tetrabromobisphenol A, Me2 Cf4-ð2;6-Br2 C6 H2 OHÞg2 (used in printed circuit boards) and an isomer of hexabromocyclodecane (used in polystyrene foams and some textiles) Concerns about the side-effects of bromine-based flame retardants (including hormone-related effects and possible production of bromodioxins) are now resulting in their withdrawal from the market Phosphorus-based flame retardants include tris(1,3dichloroisopropyl) phosphate, used in polyurethane foams and polyester resins Once again, there is debate concerning toxic side-effects of such products: although these flame retardants may save lives, they produce noxious fumes during a fire Many inorganic compounds are used as flame retardants; for example Sb2 O3 is used in PVC, and in aircraft and motor vehicles; scares that Sb2 O3 in cot mattresses may be the cause of ‘cot deaths’ appear to have subsided; Ph3 SbðOC6 Cl5 Þ2 is added to polypropene; borates, exemplified by: Br O Br O O Br O Br B are used in polyurethane foams, polyesters and polyester resins; ZnSnO3 has applications in PVC, thermoplastics, polyester resins and certain resin-based gloss paints Tin-based flame retardants appear to have a great potential future: they are non-toxic, apparently producing none of the hazardous side-effects of the widely used phosphorusbased materials [Data: Chemistry in Britain (1998) vol 34, June issue, p 20.] Further reading C Martin (1998) Chemistry in Britain, vol 34, June issue, p 20 – ‘In the line of fire’ R.J Letcher, ed (2003) Environment International, vol 29, issue 6, pp 663–885 – A themed issue of the journal entitled: ‘The state-of-the-science and trends of brominated flame retardants in the environment’ Black plate (470,1) 470 Chapter 16 The group 17 elements APPLICATIONS Box 16.2 Iodine: from cattle feed supplements to catalytic uses The annual output of iodine is significantly lower than that of chlorine or bromine, but, nonetheless, it has a wide range of important applications as the data for 2001 in the US show: of soil and drinking water is low; iodized hen feeds increase egg production Iodine is usually added to feeds in the form of ½H3 NCH2 CH2 NH3 I2 , KI, CaðIO3 Þ2 or CaðIO4 Þ2 Uses of iodine as a disinfectant range from wound antiseptics to maintaining germ-free swimming pools and water supplies We have already mentioned the use of 131 I as a medical radioisotope (Box 2.3), and photographic applications of AgI are highlighted in Box 22.13 Among dyes that have a high iodine content is erythrosine B (food redcolour additive E127) which is added to carbonated soft drinks, gelatins and cake icings Na+ O– I I [Data: US Geological Survey] The major catalytic uses involve the complex cis½RhðCOÞ2 I2 ÿ in the Monsanto acetic acid and Tennessee– Eastman acetic anhydride processes, discussed in detail in Section 26.4 Application of iodine as a stabilizer includes its incorporation into nylon used in carpet and tyre manufacture Iodized animal feed supplements are responsible for reduced instances of goitre (enlarged thyroid gland) which are otherwise prevalent in regions where the iodine content O CO2– Na+ I O I Erythrosine B (58% iodine; max ¼ 525 nm) natural sources of fluorine are the minerals fluorspar ( fluorite, CaF2 ), cryolite (Na3 ½AlF6 ) and fluorapatite, (Ca5 FðPO4 Þ3 ) (see Section 14.2 and Box 14.12), although the importance of cryolite lies in its being an aluminium ore (see Section 12.2) Sources of chlorine are closely linked to those of Na and K (see Section 10.2): rock salt (NaCl), sylvite (KCl) and carnallite (KClÁMgCl2 Á6H2 O) Seawater is one source of Br2 (Figure 16.1), but significantly higher concentrations of Brÿ are present in salt lakes and natural brine wells (see Box 16.3) The natural abundance of iodine is less than that of the lighter halogens; it occurs as iodide ion in seawater and is taken up by seaweed, from which it may be extracted Impure Chile saltpetre (caliche) contains up to 1% sodium iodate and this has become an important source of I2 ; brines associated with oil and salt wells are of increasing importance Extraction Fig 16.1 Relative abundances of the halogens (excluding astatine) in the Earth’s crust and seawater The data are plotted on a logarithmic scale The units of abundance are parts per billion (1 billion ¼ 109 ) Most fluorine-containing compounds are made using HF, the latter being prepared from fluorite by reaction 16.1; in 2001, %80% of CaF2 consumed in the US was converted into HF Hydrogen fluoride is also recycled from Al manufacturing processes and from petroleum alkylation processes, and re-enters the supply chain Difluorine is strongly oxidizing and must be prepared industrially by Black plate (471,1) Chapter 16 Physical properties and bonding considerations electrolytic oxidation of Fÿ ion The electrolyte is a mixture of anhydrous molten KF and HF, and the electrolysis cell contains a steel or copper cathode, ungraphitized carbon anode, and a Monel metal (Cu/Ni) diaphragm which is perforated below the surface of the electrolyte, but not above it, thus preventing the H2 and F2 products from recombining As electrolysis proceeds, the HF content of the melt is renewed by adding dry gas from cylinders CaF2 þ H2 SO4 ÿÿ CaSO4 þ 2HF " ð16:1Þ conc We have already described the Downs process for extracting Na from NaCl (Figure 10.1) and this is also the method of manufacturing Cl2 (see Box 10.4), one of the most important industrial chemicals in the US The manufacture of Br2 involves oxidation of Brÿ by Cl2 , with air being swept 471 through the system to remove Br2 Similarly, Iÿ in brines is oxidized to I2 The extraction of I2 from NaIO3 involves controlled reduction by SO2 ; complete reduction yields NaI Uses The nuclear fuel industry (see Section 2.5) uses large quantities of F2 in the production of UF6 for fuel enrichment processes and this is now the major use of F2 Industrially, the most important F-containing compounds are HF, BF3 , CaF2 (as a flux in metallurgy), synthetic cryolite (see reaction 12.43) and chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs, see Box 13.7) Figure 16.2a summarizes the major uses of chlorine Chlorinated organic compounds, including 1,2-dichloroethene and vinyl chloride for the polymer industry, are hugely important Dichlorine was widely used as a bleach in the paper and pulp industry, but environmental legislations have resulted in changes (Figure 16.2b) Chlorine dioxide, ClO2 (an ‘elemental chlorine-free’ bleaching agent), is prepared from NaClO3 and is favoured over Cl2 because it does not produce toxic effluents.† The manufacture of bromine- and iodine-containing organic compounds is a primary application of these halogens Other uses include those of iodide salts (e.g KI) and silver bromide in the photographic industry (although this is diminishing with the use of digital cameras, see Box 22.13), bromine-based organic compounds as flame retardants (see Box 16.1), and solutions of I2 in aqueous KI as disinfectants for wounds Iodine is essential for life and a deficiency results in a swollen thyroid gland; ‘iodized salt’ (NaCl with added Iÿ ) provides us with iodine supplement We highlight uses of iodine in Box 16.2 16.3 Physical properties and bonding considerations Table 16.1 lists selected physical properties of the group 17 elements (excluding astatine) Most of the differences between fluorine and the later halogens can be attributed to the: inability of F to exhibit any oxidation state other than ÿ1 in its compounds; relatively small size of the F atom and Fÿ ion; low dissociation energy of F2 (Figures 14.2 and 16.3); higher oxidizing power of F2 ; high electronegativity of fluorine Fig 16.2 (a) Industrial uses of Cl2 in Western Europe in 1994 [data: Chemistry & Industry (1995) p 832] (b) The trends in uses of bleaching agents in the pulp industry between 1990 and 2001; ClO2 has replaced Cl2 Both elemental chlorine-free and totally chlorine-free agents comply with environmental legislations [data: Alliance for Environmental Technology, 2001 International Survey] The last factor is not a rigidly defined quantity However, it is useful in rationalizing such observations as the anomalous physical properties of, for example, HF (see Section 9.6), † For a discussion of methods of cleaning up contaminated groundwater, including the effects of contamination by chlorinated solvent waste, see: B Ellis and K Gorder (1997) Chemistry & Industry, p 95 Black plate (472,1) 472 Chapter 16 The group 17 elements Table 16.1 Some physical properties of fluorine, chlorine, bromine and iodine Property F Cl Br I Atomic number, Z Ground state electronic configuration Enthalpy of atomization, Áa H o (298 K) / kJ molÿ1 ‡ Melting point, mp / K Boiling point, bp / K Standard enthalpy of fusion of X2 , Áfus H o (mp) / kJ molÿ1 Standard enthalpy of vaporization of X2 , Ávap H o (bp) / kJ molÿ1 First ionization energy, IE / kJ molÿ1 ÁEA H1 o (298 K) / kJ molÿ1 à Áhyd H o (Xÿ , g) / kJ molÿ1 Áhyd S o (Xÿ , g) / J Kÿ1 molÿ1 Áhyd Go (Xÿ , g) / kJ molÿ1 Standard reduction potential, E o ðX2 =2Xÿ Þ / V Covalent radius, rcov / pm Ionic radius, rion for Xÿ / pm Ãà van der Waals radius, rv / pm Pauling electronegativity, P [He]2s2 2p5 79 53.5 85 0.51 6.62 1681 ÿ328 ÿ504 ÿ150 ÿ459 þ2.87 71 133 135 4.0 17 [Ne]3s2 3p5 121 172 239 6.40 20.41 1251 ÿ349 ÿ361 ÿ90 ÿ334 þ1.36 99 181 180 3.2 35 [Ar]3d 10 4s2 4p5 112 266 332 10.57 29.96 1140 ÿ325 ÿ330 ÿ70 ÿ309 þ1.09 114 196 195 3.0 53 [Kr]4d 10 5s2 5p5 107 387 457.5 15.52 41.57 1008 ÿ295 ÿ285 ÿ50 ÿ270 þ0.54 133 220 215 2.7 ‡ For each element X, Áa H o ¼ 12  Dissociation energy of X2 ÁEA H1 o (298 K) is the enthalpy change associated with the process XðgÞ þ eÿ ÿÿ Xÿ ðgÞ % ÿðelectron affinity);

16.3 Bromine: resources and commercial demand World reserves of bromine in seawater, salt lakes and natural brine wells are plentiful The major producers of Br2 draw on brines from Arkansas and Michigan in the US, and from the Dead Sea in Israel, and the chart below indicates the extent to which these countries dominate the world market Environmental issues, however, are likely to have a dramatic effect on the commercial demand for Br2 We have already mentioned the call to phase out some (or all) bromine-based flame retardants (Box 16.1) If a change to other types of flame retardants does become a reality, it would mean a massive cut in the demand for Br2 The commercial market for Br2 has already been hit by the switch from leaded to unleaded motor vehicle fuels Leaded fuels contain 1,2C2 H4 Br2 as an additive to facilitate the release of lead (formed by decomposition of the anti-knock agent Et4 Pb) as a volatile bromide 1,2-Dibromoethane is also used as a nematocide and fumigant, and CH3 Br is a widely applied fumigant for soil Bromomethane, however, falls in the category of a potential ozone depleter (see Box 13.7) and its use will be phased out in industrialized countries by 2005, and in developing countries by 2015 Further reading B Reuben (1999) Chemistry & Industry, p 547 – ‘An industry under threat?’ [Data: US Geological Survey] tracer The 20 F isotope has application in F dating of bones and teeth; these usually contain apatite (see Section 14.2 and Box 14.12) which is slowly converted to fluorapatite when the mineral is buried in the soil By using the technique of neutron activation analysis, naturally occurring 19 F is converted to 20 F by neutron bombardment; the radioactive decay of the latter is then monitored, allowing the amount of 19 F originally present in the sample to be determined The synthesis of F2 cannot be carried out in aqueous media because F2 decomposes water, liberating ozonized oxygen (i.e O2 containing O3 ); the oxidizing power of F2 is apparent from the E o value listed in Table 16.1 The decomposition of a few high oxidation state metal fluorides generates F2 , but the only efficient alternative to the electrolytic method used industrially (see Section 16.2) is reaction 16.4 However, F2 is commercially available in cylinders, making laboratory synthesis generally unnecessary 420 K K2 ½MnF6 þ 2SbF5

partly from the strength of the bonds formed with other elements (see Section 16.3) Charge transfer complexes Dichlorine, dibromine and diiodine Dichlorine is a pale green-yellow gas with a

Dibromine is a dark orange, volatile liquid (the only liquid non-metal at 298 K) but is often used as the aqueous solution ‘bromine water’ Skin contact with liquid Br2 results in burns, and Br2 vapour has an unpleasant smell and causes eye and respiratory irritation At 298 K, I2 forms dark purple crystals which sublime readily at bar pressure into a purple vapour In the crystalline state, Cl2 , Br2 or I2 molecules are arranged in layers as represented in Figure 16.5 The molecules Cl2 and Br2 have intramolecular distances which are the same as in the vapour (compare these distances with rcov , Table 16.1) Intermolecular distances for Cl2 and Br2 are also listed in Figure 16.5; the distances within a layer are shorter than 2rv (Table 16.1), suggesting some degree of interaction between the X2 molecules The shortest intermolecular XÁÁÁÁX distance between layers is significantly longer In solid I2 , the intramolecular IÿI bond distance is longer than in a gaseous molecule, and the lowering of the bond order (i.e decrease in intramolecular bonding) is offset by a degree of intermolecular bonding within each layer (Figure 16.5) It is significant that solid I2 possesses a metallic lustre and exhibits appreciable electrical conductivity at higher temperatures; under very high pressure I2 becomes a metallic conductor Chemical reactivity decreases steadily from Cl2 to I2 , notably in reactions of the halogens with H2 , P4 , S8 and most metals The values of E o in Table 16.1 indicate the decrease in oxidizing power along the series Cl2 > Br2 > I2 , and this trend is the basis of the methods of extraction of Br2 and I2 described in Section 16.2 Notable features of the chemistry of iodine which single it out among the halogens are that it is more easily: A charge transfer complex is one in which a donor and acceptor interact weakly together with some transfer of electronic charge, usually facilitated by the acceptor The observed colours of the halogens arise from an electronic transition from the highest occupied à MO to the lowest unoccupied à MO (see Figure 1.23) The HOMO–LUMO energy gap decreases in the order F2 > Cl2 > Br2 > I2 , leading to a progressive shift in the absorption maximum from the near-UV to the red region of the visible spectrum Dichlorine, dibromine and diiodine dissolve unchanged in many organic solvents (e.g saturated hydrocarbons, CCl4 ) However in, for example, ethers, ketones and pyridine, which contain donor atoms, Br2 and I2 (and Cl2 to a smaller extent) form charge transfer complexes with the halogen à MO acting as the acceptor orbital In the extreme, complete transfer of charge could lead to heterolytic bond fission as in the formation of ½IðpyÞ2 þ (Figure 16.4 and equation 16.8) 2py þ 2I2 ÿÿ ½IðpyÞ2 þ þ ½I3 ÿ " ð16:8Þ Solutions of I2 in donor solvents, such as pyridine, ethers or ketones, are brown or yellow Even benzene acts as a donor, forming charge transfer complexes with I2 and Br2 ; the colours of these solutions are noticeably different from those of I2 or Br2 in cyclohexane (a non-donor) Whereas amines, ketones and similar compounds donate electron density through a lone pair, benzene uses its -electrons; this is apparent in the relative orientations of the donor (benzene) and acceptor (Br2 ) molecules in Figure 16.6b That solutions of the charge transfer complexes are coloured means that they absorb in the visible region of the spectrum (%400–750 nm), but the electronic spectrum also contains an intense absorption in the UV region (%230–330 nm) arising from an electronic transition from the solventÿX2 occupied bonding MO to a vacant antibonding MO This is the socalled charge transfer band Many charge transfer complexes can be isolated in the solid state and examples are given in Black plate (476,1) 476 Chapter 16 The group 17 elements Fig 16.6 Some examples of charge transfer complexes involving Br2 ; the crystal structure of each has been determined by X-ray diffraction: (a) 2MeCNÁBr2 [K.-M Marstokk et al (1968) Acta Crystallogr., Sect B, vol 24, p 713]; (b) schematic representation of the chain structure of C6 H6 ÁBr2 ; (c) 1,2,4,5-ðEtSÞ4 C6 H2 ÁðBr2 Þ2 in which Br2 molecules are sandwiched between layers of 1,2,4,5-ðEtSÞ4 C6 H2 molecules; interactions involving only one Br2 molecule are shown and H atoms are omitted [H Bock et al (1996) J Chem Soc., Chem Commun., p 1529]; (d) Ph3 PÁBr2 [N Bricklebank et al (1992) J Chem Soc., Chem Commun., p 355] Colour code: Br, brown; C, grey; N, blue; S, yellow; P, orange; H, white Figure 16.6 In complexes in which the donor is weak, e.g C6 H6 , the XÿX bond distance is unchanged (or nearly so) by complex formation Elongation as in 1,2,4,5ðEtSÞ4 C6 H2 ÁðBr2 Þ2 (compare the BrÿBr distance in Figure 16.6c with that for free Br2 , in Figure 16.5) is consistent with the involvement of a good donor; it has been estimated from theoretical calculations that ÿ0.25 negative charges are transferred from 1,2,4,5-ðEtSÞ4 C6 H2 to Br2 Different degrees of charge transfer are also reflected in the relative magnitudes of Ár H given in equation 16.9 Further evidence for the weakening of the XÿX bond comes from vibrational spectroscopic data, e.g a shift for ðXÿXÞ from 215 cmÿ1 in I2 to 204 cmÿ1 in C6 H6 ÁI2 ) Ár H ¼ ÿ5 kJ molÿ1 C6 H6 þ I2 ÿÿ C6 H6 ÁI2 " C2 H5 NH2 þ I2 ÿÿ C2 H5 NH2 ÁI2 " Ár H ¼ ÿ31 kJ

Ph3 PI2 forms ½Ph3 PIþ Iÿ or, in the presence of excess I2 , ½Ph3 PIþ ½I3 ÿ The formation of complexes of this type is not easy to predict: the reaction of Ph3 Sb with Br2 or I2 is an oxidative addition yielding Ph3 SbX2 , 16.1; Ph3 AsBr2 is an As(V) compound, whereas Ph3 AsÁI2 , Me3 AsÁI2 and Me3 AsÁBr2 are charge transfer complexes of the type shown in Figure 16.6d.† † For insight into the complexity of this problem, see for example: N Bricklebank, S.M Godfrey, H.P Lane, C.A McAuliffe, R.G Pritchard and J.-M Moreno (1995) Journal of the Chemical Society, Dalton Transactions, p 3873

with concentrated H2 SO4 (e.g reaction 16.11) and analogous reactions are also a convenient means of making HCl Analogous reactions with bromides and iodides result in partial oxidation of HBr or HI

being a weak acid in aqueous solution (pKa ¼ 3:45) This is in part due to the high HÿF bond dissociation enthalpy (Table 6.2 and Section 6.5) At high concentrations, the acid strength increases owing
