What does onium compound mean?
- Onium compound
- In chemistry, an onium compound, or onium ion, is a cation formally obtained by the protonation of mononuclear parent hydride of elements of the nitrogen group, chalcogens, or halogens. The oldest-known onium ion, and the namesake for the class, is ammonium NH+ 4, the protonated derivative of ammonia NH3. The name onium is also used for cations that would result from the substitution of hydrogen atoms in those ions by other groups, such as organic radicals, or halogens; such as tetraphenylphosphonium (C6H5)4P+. The substituent groups may be di- or trivalent, yielding ions such as iminium and nitrilium. Onium ions have a charge of +1. A molecule with two or more onium ion subgroups is said to be a double onium ion, triple onium ion, and so on. Compounds of an onium cation and some other negative ion are known as onium salts. Onium compounds are inversely analogous to ate complexes. Lewis bases form onium ions when the central atom gains one more bond and becomes a positive cation. Lewis acids form -ate ions when the central atom gains one more bond and becomes a negative anion.
