Abstract
THE carbonyls of certain alkali and alkaline earth metals have been prepared previously by the action of carbon monoxide on a solution of the appropriate metal ammoniate in liquid ammonia. In this way, Joannis1 obtained sodium carbonyl, NaCO, and potassium carbonyl, KCO; Gunz and Mentrel2 barium carbonyl, Ba(CO)2 and Roederer3 strontium carbonyl, Sr(CO)2. In the course of researches on the carbonyls proceeding in these laboratories, the corresponding compounds of lithium, rubidium and calcium have been obtained.
