Co-adsorption of cadmium(II) and glyphosate at the water-manganite (gamma-MnOOH) interface

The co-adsorption of Cd(II) and glyphosate (N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine, PMG) at the manganite (gamma-MnOOH) surface has been studied in the pH range 6-10 at 25 degrees C and with 0.1 M Na(Cl) as ionic medium. Batch adsorption experiments, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectroscopy were used for the quantitative analysis and the determination of the molecular structure of the surface complexes. The adsorption of Cd(II) and PMG in the ternary Cd(II)-PMG-manganite system was compared with the adsorption in the binary Cd(II)-manganite and PMG-manganite systems. The formation of three inner sphere surface complexes was observed, a ternary Cd(II)-PMG-manganite complex, a binary Cd(II)-manganite complex and a binary PMG-manganite complex. The surface concentration of the ternary complex and the Cd(II)-manganite complex was more or less constant throughout the pH range studied. However, the surface concentration of the binary PMG-manganite complex decreased with increasing pH. The major part of the binary PMG-surface complex was protonated. The ternary surface complex displayed a type B structure (Cd(II)-PMG-manganite). The average Cd-Mn distance obtained from EXAFS (3.26 A) indicates that the binary and ternary Cd(II)-surface complexes are formed by edge-sharing of Mn and Cd octahedra on the (010) plane of the manganite crystals.     

New fluorescent rhodamine hydrazone chemosensor for Cu(II) with high selectivity and sensitivity

[reaction: see text] A new fluorescent probe, salicylaldehyde rhodamine B hydrazone (1), was synthesized and displayed selective Cu(II)-amplified absorbance and fluorescence emission above 500 nm in neutral buffered media. Upon the addition of Cu(II), the spirolactam ring of 1 was opened and a 1:1 metal-ligand complex was formed. The detection of Cu(II) by 1 at a lower micromolar level was successful even in buffered water.     

A combined experimental and theoretical approach for structural study on a new cinnamoyl derivative of 2-acetyl-1,3-indandione and its metal(II) complexes

The synthesis, structure and spectral properties of a new cinnamoyl derivative of 2-acetyl-1,3-indandione (2AID), p-fluoro-cinnamoyl-1,3-indandione, LH and its metal(II) complexes with Cu(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II), are described. In order to verify the molecular structure of the free ligand and its metal complexes, model geometries based on the spectroscopic data were optimized using quantum chemical methods. The experimental spectroscopic data (IR and NMR) of the ligand, LH, complemented by the calculated ones, show that it exists in the exocyclic enolic form in the gas phase, solution and solid state. Good quality single crystals of Cd(II) complex were obtained from a DMSO solution and were studied by means of single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The data show bidentate coordination of the ligand and two DMSO molecules coordinated to the metal centre, thus forming a complex with octahedral geometry. On the contrary, the spectroscopic data on the amorphous samples indicate a square planar geometry of the Cu(II) complex and distorted octahedral geometry for Zn(II) and Cd(II) complexes with two water molecules coordinated to the metal centre. The used quantum chemical method for structure optimization of the transition metal complexes, B3LYP/LANL2DZ, shows very good agreement with the crystallographic data and, therefore, was also employed for structural determination for the non-crystalline complexes.

A proton and optic dual-control molecular switch based on photochromic diarylethene bearing a rhodamine unit

A novel fluorescent switch based on rhodamine B and photochromic diarylethene, 1-[2-methyl-5-(4-methoxylphenyl)-3-thienyl]-2-[2-methyl-5-(4-rhodamine B hydrazine-Schiff base-phenyl)-3-thienyl]perfluorocyclopentene (1), has been successfully synthesized through the condensation of rhodamine B hydrazine and 1-[2-methyl-5-(4-methoxylphenyl)-3-thienyl]-2-[2-methyl-5-(4-formylphenyl)-3-thienyl]perfluorocyclopentene. UV and FL measurements reveal that the compound exhibits good photochromic properties responsive to proton and optic dual inputs. Upon irradiation with 297 nm light, the colorless solution of compound 1 turns blue, while the blue solution becomes colorless after irradiated with visible light (λ>450 nm). Furthermore, upon an addition of H⁺, the fluorescence resonance energy transfers from the rhodamine unit (FRET donor) to the closed-ring diarylethene unit (FRET acceptor), although no energy transfer occurs when the diarylethene is in the open-ring form. The emission intensity of the rhodamine can be modulated with proton and UV/vis light and molecular-level signal communication has been constructed, indicating high potentials of the compound in molecular switches or naked eye recognition systems.     

Kinetic analysis of a photosensitive chelator and its complex with Zn(II)

The reversible sequestration and release of metal ions is an important objective in biological and environmental research. Unfortunately, although there have been dramatic examples of metal ion activity control, there are very few quantitative investigations of stoichiometry, equilibria and kinetics. A significant contributor to this lack of quantitative work is the complexity of many photochromic systems. Therefore, we have attempted to create a simple, reversible photochromic metal-ion chelator that can be analyzed quantitatively. The chelator should have certain other attributes as well, namely, that it binds to divalent metal ions (because of their extreme biological importance) and that it binds metal ions in the dark so that light is used to release metal ions rather than sequester them. The photochromic chelator (1) binds to divalent metal ions [Zn(II), Cu(II), Pb(II), Hg(II), Fe(II), Co(II) and Cd(II); other metal ions have not yet been tested] in the dark with a significant binding strength. In both methanol (by spectrophotometry) and methanol-water (by voltammetry), the stoichiometry of the 1-Zn(II) complex is 2:1. The binding constant (K1K2) is on the order of 10(12)-10(14) M(-2) in methanol and 5.0 x 10(8) M(-2) in 50% aqueous methanol. The chelator 1 is photolabile, yielding 2 with a quantum efficiency of 0.91. In a solution containing excess Zn(II), so that over 99% of the ligand exists as the monodentate complex, photolysis produces 2 with a quantum efficiency of 0.15. A kinetic analysis leads to the conclusion that the complex itself is photolabile.

A New Electrochemical Method for the Determination of Proteins with Cupferron‐Cadmium(II) Complex

A new electrochemical method was proposed for the determination of trace amounts of proteins based on the cupferron (Cup) and cadmium(II) complex [Cup‐Cd(II)] as the voltammetric probe. In the selected pH 6.5 Britton–Robinson (B–R) buffer solution, Cup can interact with Cd(II) to form a stable complex of [Cup‐Cd(II)], which had a sensitive linear sweep voltammetric reductive peak at ?0.654 V (vs. SCE). The addition of human serum albumin (HSA) into [Cup‐Cd(II)] complex solution could greatly decrease the reductive peak current without the change of the reductive peak potential, which indicated that HSA could interact with [Cup‐Cd(II)] complex to form a supramolecular biocomplex. The interaction mechanism was discussed and the decrease of reductive peak current was proportional to the concentration of HSA, which could be further used for the proteins determination. The optimal conditions of the binding reaction and the electrochemical detection were carefully investigated. Under the optimal conditions a new quantitative determination method for different kinds of proteins such as HSA, bovine serum albumin (BSA) and bovine hemoglobin (BHb) etc. was developed. The proposed method was simple, practical and relatively free from the interferences of coexisting substances, and it was further applied to the samples determination with satisfactory results. The binding constant (β_s) and the binding number (m) of HSA with [Cup‐Cd(II)] complex were calculated by the voltammetric data with the results as β_s=1.12×10⁶ and m=1.     

Metal-organic approach to binary optical memory

Two new Ru(II) diimine chromophores, each containing a single photochromic dianthryl unit, have been prepared and characterized. The photoluminescence from the Ru(II) complexes is modulated by the photochromic action of the dianthryl species, which serves as a triplet energy transfer quencher in one photochromic state. The coupling of the dianthryl photochromic action to the Ru(II) complex emission permits nondestructive photoluminescence readout of binary information photochemically recorded on the molecular level. Luminescent images stored on polystyrene films that contain these molecules maintained their integrity for periods of months with no apparent degradation or variation in the image resolution, suggesting their durability for long-term storage in read-only memory applications.     

A Room-Temperature X-ray-Induced Photochromic Material for X-ray Detection

A color change: X-ray-induced photochromic species are rare and can be used for detection of X-rays. A highly robust X-ray-sensitive material with the discrete structure of a metal-organic complex has been found to show both soft and hard X-ray-induced photochromism at room temperature. A new ligand-to-ligand electron-transfer mechanism was proposed to elucidate this photochromic phenomenon.     

Synthesis and complex formation of spirobenzopyranindolines containing rhodamine fragment

The interaction of 7-hydroxy-6-formyl-substituted spiropyrans and Rhodamine B aminoethylamide has afforded spirobenzopyrans containing rhodamine fragment bound to the benzopyran part via the methyleneaminoethyl spacer. The prepared spiropyrans exist in the spiropyran-spirolactam form in the acetone solution and exhibit weak photochromism at 283 K. The addition of Cd, Co, Ni, and Zn perchlorates to the spiropyrans solution results in the coloration due to the complex formation. The composition and stability of the complexes has been determined by means of spectrophotometry.

Synthesis,metal ion binding,and photochromic properties of benzo- and naphthopyrans annelated by crown ether moieties

Combining a photochromic chromene with a crown ether moiety results in systems in which photochromism and ionophoric properties could significantly influence each other. In this paper, we report the synthesis of several chromenes annelated by 15(18)-crown-5(6) ethers. The approach involves the building of the photochromic fragment upon the initial crown ether via phenols. The two main routes for chromene preparation are discussed. The complex formation of the synthesized photochromic crown-containing naphthopyran with magnesium(II) and barium(II) cations was studied. The kinetic behavior of the colored form of the compound is affected by complex formation.     

The solvent extraction of the ternary complexes of iron(II)-rhodamine b with various nitrosophenols: Determination of iron in waters

Twenty nitrosophenols and nitrosonaphthols were examined as reagents for ternary complex formation with iron(II) and rhodamine B. Only reagents containing electron-attracting substituents were satisfactory, and of these, 2-nitroso-4-chlorophenol was best. The ternary complex contains 2-nitroso-4-chlorophenol, iron(II) and rhodamine B in the ratio 3:1:1, and can be readily extracted into benzene. The red extracted complex shows maximal absorbance at 558 nm with a molar absorptivity of9.0·10⁴. Beer's law is obeyed over the range 0-1· 10^?5M iron (II); the pH range for extraction is 4.3–5.3, and the color is stable for at least 1 week. The application of'the method to the determination of iron in potable and river waters is described.
