As the chain length of the perfluoroalkyl group increases correspondingly smaller increases would be expected for each additional CFz group. After accounting for the anticipated increases due to the increased inductive stabilization, the fluoride affinity of perfluoroglutaryl fluoride FCO(CF2)3COFis still roughly 6 kcal mol-' more than anticipated. This increased stabilization may be due to a number of factors: either (i) the interaction of the FCO dipole moment with the negative charge of a CFzO- group as in V, (ii) a genuine

The differences in results for F and C1- have been interpreted in terms of the relative tendencies of these two species to undergo covalent or electrostatic binding. These results also have implications for the design of anioncomplexing reagents analogous to crown ethers for cations. The very strong binding energies of F and C1- to fluoroethers suggest that cyclic complexes such as VI11 may be efficient agents for ,F

At present we have no basis for distinguishing which of these three situations may be corrdct; however, if chelation does occur, as in VI, the relatively small increase in stability compared to the total single-site fluoride binding energy would be a further example of weakening of a first interaction by formation of second.

On the Existence of Na- In Llquld Ammonia Steven G. Bratsch and J. J. Lagowski* Department of Chemistry, The University of Texas, Austin, Texas 78712 (Received: June 8, 1983)

The question of the existence of alkali-metal anions in liquid ammonia is examined from a thermodynamic viewpoint using a simple semiempirical model. A fit of the Born equation for ionic solvation to the available data indicates that Na- (sodide) is the alkali-metal anion most likely to be stable under standard conditions (1 m activity) in liquid ammonia at 298 K. The lack of an observed spectral peak for sodide ion in Na/NH3 solutions is discussed in terms of activity-to-concentrationconversions and dilution effects. Possible methods of Na- detection in Na/NH3 solutions are offered.

Thermodynamic Considerations Alkali-metal anions M- are known in a variety of nonaqueous solvents such as cyclic ethers and organic amines.l*z Their existence in metal-ammonia solutions has been p o ~ t u l a t e dbut ~ * ~not conclusively p r ~ v e n .

Calculation of Gibbs Free Energies in Liquid Ammonia at 298 K The following modification of the Born equation for ionic solvation9 (see also ref 10) has been found useful:

+

AGsolvo(MZ+)= klz2/(r k 2 ) (3) where z is the ionic charge, r is the crystal ionic radius of MZ+, and k l and k2 are empirically determined by curve fitting. For the four common halides, the known AGf0(M-,aq)" and AGfo(M-,g) (Table I) may be used to back-calculate AGhyd0(M-) via eq 1. If Pauling ionic radiii2 are used, the best fit to eq 3 is AGhydo(M-)= -56.1/(r

where AGhydo(M-)is at 298 K and r is expressed in nanometers (Figure 1). Matsuda and NatoyaI3 have shown that AGsolvoof cations are roughly proportional between solvents, calculating that the solvation of cations in liquid ammonia is about 1.1 times as strong as in water at 298 K. It seems logical to assume a proportionality for anions as well, although the constant of proportionality need not be the same as that for cations. In terms of eq 3, this assumption requires a constant value for k2, which is found from the presumably accurate water expression (eq 4) to be -0.017 nm when Pauling anionic radii are used. The datai4 (adjusted to ref 11) for F, C1-, Br-, and I- in liquid ammonia at 298 K give AGamo(M-) = -50.3/(r

Correlation of AGmlVo(M-)with rM-1 AGfo(M-,g) from Table I; AGfo(M-,aq) (M = F, C1, Br, I) from ref 11; AGo(e-,aq) from ref 16a; AGhydo(M-)from eq 1; AGfo(M-,am) (M = F, CI,Br, I, e) from Table 11; AGamo(M-) from eq 2; rM- (nm) from Table 11. Solid circles are experimental; open circles are calculated.

This is illustrated in Figure 1. Taken together, eq 4 and 5 indicate that the solvation of uninegative anions in liquid ammonia is about 0.9 times as strong as in water at 298 K. The proportionality constants for cations (1.1) and anions (0.9) are consistent with the increased Lewis basicity and decreased Lewis acidity of ammonia relative to water. The values of kl in eq 3 are predicted by the Born equation for ionic solvation9 to be -68.6 and -65.4 for water and liquid ammonia, respectively. However, Born's model does not involve readily available crystal ionic radii but ill-defined "effective" radii of ions in the solvent. In addition, the dielectric constant of the solvent is assumed to be uniform, even in the vicinity of the ions.15a In view of the problems associated with the Born equation, the level of agreement between the predicted values of k, and the empirical values given in eq 4 and 5 is about as expected. The estimated AGfo(e-,aq) = 267 kJ mol-' may be combined with eq 1 and 4 to give AGhydo(e-)= -184 kJ mol-' and re-= 0.322 nm. In a like manner, the selected AGfO(e-,am)= 186 kJ mol-' 17a may be combined with eq 2 and 5 to give AGamo(e-)= -168 kJ mol-' and re- = 0.316 nm. Thus, we estimate the crystal ionic radius for e- to be about 0.32 nm. This value may be compared with Peer's spectroscopically derived estimate of 0.345 nm17band also with estimates of the hydrated ionic radius, 0.25-0.30 nm.16b Plambeck18has proposed an alternative modification of the Born equation wherein AGmIvois calculated as a power series in r". The approach used in the present paper has the advantage of requiring only one parameter change (k, in eq 3) when a different solvent is considered. Table I1 lists calculated and experimental Gibbs free energies for selected ions in NH3 at 298 K. The sources of the AGO data and ionic radii are also indicated in Table 11. The thermodynamic calculations for the alkali-metal anions M- are directed toward the evaluation of the standard-state properties of these ions, where (by definition) the only interactions of the solute ions are those with the solvent.'9a Thus, the predictions do not take into account the possible existence of the ion triplets e-M+e-. The latter species cannot be treated by the present method because both r and AGfo(e-M+e-,g) are unknown. It is possible that the ion triplets e-M+e- are thermodynamically more stable than the genuine alkali-metal anions M- in liquid a m m ~ n i a .

Equation 6 provides a uniform means of estimation of the mean activity coefficient for a solution of a 1:l electrolyte in liquid ammonia up to at least 1.O m (eq 6 is actually useful in NH4Cl solutions up to about 5 m ) . It is possible that ion pairs and higher aggregates are important in concentrated solutions of electrolytes in liquid ammonia. However, from a thermodynamic point of view, it is not necessary to relate the activity coefficient to any particular mechanistic behavior. 19b*22 (20) Ritchey, H. W.; Hunt, H. J. Phys.

Uncertainties Although the above calculations appear promising, Na- has not yet been identified in liquid a m m ~ n i a . ' The - ~ ~discrepancy ~~~ may be traceable to one or more of the following: 1. The electrostatic model for Gibbs free energies of solvation (eq 3) may be too simple for general quantitative predictions. Neglect of nonelectrostatic contributions (e.g. polarization effects) may lead to serious errors. 2. The ionic radii used may be unreliable. Peer's alkali-metal anionic radii"" have been used because they are believed to be most consistent with Pauling radii. However, Peer has derived re- in the same way (from spectroscopic correlations) as for the alkali-metal anionic but his result (0.345 nm) is not compatible with AGmk0(e-). DyeZhas derived alkali-metal anionic radii by assuming that the bond lengths in the hypothetical ionic solids M+M- are the same as in the metals M. Dye's radii are about 0.01 nm larger than Peer's values. For example, Dye estimates rNa-= 0.272 nm, which leads to AGfo(Na-,am) = 182.5 kJ mol-', about 7 kJ mol-' more positive (less stable) than the value in Table 11. 3. Because the alkali-metal anions are probably larger than the halide ions, the predictions for standard Gibbs free energies (31) Strong, J.; Tuttle, T. R., Jr. J . Phys. Chem. 1973, 77, 533.

Peer’s method can be used to predict E,,,(Na-,am) = 1.85 f 0.08 eV or A,, = 670 f 30 nm.

of solvation of metal anions are all extrapolations. 4. The concentration/activity conversion (eq 6) may become increasingly inappropriate as concentrated M/NH3 solutions begin to experience deviations from “strong” electrolyte behavior. Perhaps the only statement one may make with confidence is that Na- is probably the least unstable alkali-metal anion in liquid ammonia at 298 K; that is, given the proper experimental conditions, Na- stands the greatest chance of being detected.

Formation of Vertically Oriented Aromatic Molecules Chemisorbed on Platinum Electrodes: The Effect of Surface Pretreatment with Flat Oriented Intermediates Manuel P. Soriaga* and Arthur T. Hubbard* Department of Chemistry, University of California, Santa Barbara, California 93106 (Received: June 10, 1983; In Final Form: August 8, 1983)

The adsorption of aromatic compounds on Pt electrodes, pretreated with a layer of flat oriented intermediates at fractional or full coverages, has been studied as a function of concentration. Measurements of packing densities were based on thin-layer electrochemical methods. Four aromatic compounds, previously shown to adsorb on clean electrodes in flat and edgewise (vertical) orientations depending upon the adsorbate concentration, were studied: hydroquinone (1) 1,4-naphthohydroquinone (2), 2,3-dimethylhydroquinone (3), and 2,5-dimethylhydroquinone(4). The same edge orientations formed on the clean electrode were also obtained on the pretreated surface, but the adsorption profiles (total packing density vs. concentration) of 1-3 showed that complete formation of the edge orientation was retarded (severely for 1 and 2 slightly for 3) when the electrode was pretreated with a full monolayer of flat oriented species; the same retardation was observed even when the electrode was pretreated with less than half a monolayer. When the electrode was precoated with a layer of aromatic molecules in transition between flat and vertical orientation, the adsorption profile was remarkably similar to those for clean electrodes. The adsorption profile of 4 (which displays hindered reorientation due to the blocking effect of the methyl groups) was unaffected by surface pretreatment. These results suggest that (i) adsorption of 1-3 at concentrations above 1 mM on clean Pt leads primarily to direct attachment of edge-oriented species; (ii) for 1-3, complete reorientation from flat to vertical structures is less facile than direct adsorption in the vertical orientation; (iii) adsorption of 4 in the edge orientation involves formation of flat oriented species as an intermediate step; (iv) adsorption of aromatic molecules at high concentrations on a sparsely pretreated surface involves completion of the flat oriented layer prior to formation of edge-bonded species; and (v) reorientation of nearly isolated flat adsorbed intermediates is at least as difficult as that of closepacked molecules. Similarities and differences between results from solution and vacuum studies are discussed.
