5957By controlling the temperature of the solution and of an external trap for methylamine (at a suitable lower temperature), the excess methylamine can be removed by distillation, leaving behind the pure compound. The solubility of sodium in pure methylamine has not been measured, but it is very low, probably less than I 0-3 M. Conductivity measurements" and optical spectra'* indicate the formation of primarily the solvated sodium cation and the sodium anion, Na-. The sodium anion has unusual thermodynamic stability, so that reactions such as 2e-solv + Na+ -Na- (1) and of these and other mononuclear nitrido metalloporphyrins with metallomacrocyclic substrates to evaluate the generality of this reaction.Acknowledgment.
