Synthesis,characterization, and crystal structure of cobalt(II) complex with 2-oximino-3-thiosemicarbazone-2,3-butanedione

The reaction of cobalt(II) chloride with the tridentate ligand 2-oximino-3-thiosemicarbazone-2,3-butanedione [Hotsb (1)] leads to the formation of the novel six-coordinated complex [Co(otsb)₂]·2H₂O (2). This complex has been synthesized and characterized by X-ray crystallography, spectroscopic and cyclic voltammetric measurements. The ligand Hotsb (1) obtained by the condensation of 2,3-butanedione monoxime and thiosemicarbazide is used for the preparation of complex 2. The Hotsb (1) crystallizes into a monoclinic lattice with space group P2₁/c. The crystal structure of 2 shows a distorted mer-octahedral geometry in which the ligands are coordinated as uninegatively charged tridentate chelating agents via the hydrazine nitrogen atoms, the azomethine nitrogen atoms, and the thiolate sulfur atoms. The cyclic voltammogram of 2 undergoes two irreversible one-electron waves corresponding to Co^II/Co^III and Co^II/Co^I processes.

Abstract

The applicability of the SiF and InF bands to determination of fluorine in a hollow cathode discharge has been studied. The InF bands have been used for the F determination in solid samples containing from 1% to 1x10^?4% F, and in solutions for the F^? concentration between 10 and 1000 mg 1^?1. The lowest detected amount of fluorine in solid sample was 10 ng (1x10^?5%).     

Polyoxidovanadate complexes: synthesis,structures and catalytic oxidative bromination of phenol red

By selecting appropriate ligands, two polyoxidovanadate complexes, [Ni(en)₂]₃[V₁₈O₄₂Cl]·7H₂O·2H₃O⁺ (1) and [H₂N(CH₃)₂]₃[PV₁₄O₄₂]·2TMP·6H₃O⁺ (2), have been synthesized at different pH values using V₂(SO₄)₃, Ni(CH₃COO)₂, and H₆TTHA (for 1), VO(acac)₂ and TPP (for 2) (en = C₂H₈N₂, TPP = thiamine pyrophosphate, TMP = thiamine monophosphate, H₆TTHA = 1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triamine hexaacetic acid). The complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis (TG), and single crystal X-ray diffraction. The complexes catalyze the oxidation of the organic substrate phenol red in the presence of H₂O₂ and bromide, and the reaction system is considered as a model for hydrogen peroxide determination. The reaction rate constants (k) for 1 and 2 are calculated as 3.729 × 10³ and 4.083 × 10³ (mol L)^?2 s^?1. The maximum conversion rate of phenol red for 1 is 83.32%, while for 2 is 81.12%.     

Simultaneous First-Derivative Spectrophotometric Determination of Nickel and Manganese Complexes with 2-(2-Pyridylmethyleneamino)phenol

Abstract

A method is proposed for the simultaneous determination of nickel and manganese by first-derivative spectrophotometry based on their reactions with 2-(2-pyridylmethyleneamino)phenol (PMAP) Schiff base. The method allows the determination of Ni and Mn in the concentration range 0.3–3.0 μg ml^?1 in mixtures with their ten-fold concentration ratio. The method has been applied for Ni and Mn determination in bronzes. To optimize the experimental conditions for spectrophotometric determination of Mn with PMAP stability constants at different pH values have been determined. A critical evaluation of the proposed method was performed by statistical analysis of the experimental data.     

Simultaneous Determination of Copper (II) and Mercury (II) by Using a Zero-Crossing Method

Abstract

The application of a zero-crossing method to the simultaneous determination of copper (II) and mercury (II) with methylethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (MEDTA) is described. The procedure does not require equations to be solved, and it is suitable for concentrations of 0.008–0.036 mg ml^?1 of copper and 0.025–0.300 mg ml^?1 of mercury. The main interferences, both anionic and cationic, were easily eliminated. The method was applied to different aqueous matrices. It was compared with an atomic absorption spectrophotometry method (AA) and good results were obtained.     

Determination of Sulphur in Solid and Liquid Samples by Potentiometric Titration with Ion Selective Electrode.

Abstract

This paper describes a potentiometric method for the determination of sulphur in solid and liquid samples, using a sulphide ion selective electrode after the reduction distillation step. The determination of sulphide in solid and liquid samples without prior treatment was carried out by direct and titration potentiometric methods.

The reproducibility of the method and the recovery of sulphate in solid samples was investigated using analytical reagent grade 99% sodium sulphate. Portions of aproximately 100 mg of reagent were subjected to the reduction distillation process. After the ion selective electrode showed a stable value of the potential, indicating that all the sulphate had been reduced to sulphide, the potentiometric titration with lead nitrate solution was performed. A mean recovery of 98% of sulphate was found. The potentiometric titration method described in this work, can be applied to determine S⁼ in solid samples with the advantage that it does not require sample solubilization or extraction prior to the determination. The method yields an almost total reduction of sulphur and also a good precision.     

Determination of Copper,Nickel and Cadmium by Faas After Preconcentration with Zinc-Piperazinedithiocarbamate Loaded on Activated Carbon by Solid-Phase Extraction

ABSTRACT

A method was developed for the preconcentration of copper, nickel and cadmium in water samples, prior to their determination by FAAS, using the Zn-piperazinedithiocarbamate complex (ZnPDC) loaded on activated carbon. In this method, Cu, Ni and Cd in liquid phase quantitatively replaced zinc on a ZnPDC-activated carbon solid phase. Afterwards, the metals on the solid phase were easily eluted by Hg (II) solution into aqueous phase, and were measured by FAAS. The optimum experimental parameters such as pH, sample volume, and effect of matrix ions for the preconcentration of the metals were investigated. The range of linearity 0-6, 0-5, 0-3 μgml^?1, correlation coefficient 0.998, 0.996, 0.999, detection limits 15.7, 23.5, 11.8 ngml^?1 and determination limits 136, 179, 98 ngml^?1 in final Hg(II) solution were obtained for Cu, Ni and Cd, respectively. The proposed method has been employed for the determination of Cu, Ni and Cd in various standard metal alloys and natural water samples.     

Application of Solid Sampling Device for Direct Determination of Chromium and Nickel in Lubricating Oils by Graphite Furnace Atomic Absorption Spectrometry

Abstract

One method using a solid sampling device for the direct determination of Cr and Ni in fresh and used lubricating oils by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry are proposed. The high organic content in the samples was minimized using a digestion step at 400°C in combination with an oxidant mixture 1.0% (v v^?1) HNO₃ + 15% (v v^?1) H₂O₂ + 0.1% (m v^?1) Triton X-100 for the in situ digestion. The 3-field mode Zeeman-effect allowed the spectrometer calibration up to 5 ng of Cr and Ni. The quantification limits were 0.86 µg g^?1 for Cr and 0.82 µg g^?1 for Ni, respectively. The analysis of reference materials showed no statistically significant difference between the recommended values and those obtained by the proposed methods.     

Mandelazo I As A Reagent For Zr(IV) Determination

Abstract

A spectromeric study of the reaction of the Zr(IV) ions with Mandelazo I was carried out. Absorption spectra revealed that the maximum absorption of the zirconium compound appears at a wavelength (316 nm) different from the maxima of the reagent (253 and 390 nm). Beer-Lambert law is followed for zirconium concentrations of the order of 8.8x 10^?5 M (i.e. 8 μg Zr (IV)/mL). Possible interferences of ions such as Be(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Al(III), Th(IV), U(VI), Mn(II), Fe(III), Co(II) and Ni(II) were investigated in connection with some masking agents such as SO₄ ^2- and C₂O₄ ^2-. Also, the solid state Zr(IV)-Mandelazo I compound was prepared and characterized by nitrogen and thermogravimetric analyses.

Chromophore Systeme, 2. Konformation und Lichtabsorption von (2-Alkoxyvinyl)ethandionen

Chromophoric Systems, 2. – Conformation and Absorption of Light in (2-Alkoxyvinyl)ethanediones The unusual color properties of yellow 1,2-bis(4,5-dihydrofuran-3-yl)ethane-1,2-dione ( 1 ) and colorless 1,2-bis(5,6-dihydro-4H-pyran-3-yl)ethane-1,2-dione ( 2 ) in the solid state and in solution are investigated by crystal structure analysis, UV-Vis, PE, and ¹³C-NMR spectroscopy as well as by reparameterized force-field calculations. Dione 1 takes an antiperiplaner CO/CO conformation of its chromophore in the solid state whereas dione 2 is twisted in this respect by 102°. In solution both chromophores are not planar, but 1 is less distorted (ca. 142°) than dione 2 (ca. 126°). The calculated rotational barrier for CO/CO twisting amounts to 0.9 kcal mol⁻¹ for 1 and to 2.2 kcal mol⁻¹ for 2 .     

Solvent effect on condensation of pyramidal [AsSe3]3–: solvothermal syntheses of new selenidoarsenates containing transition metal(II) complexes with 1,10-phenanthroline

The reactions As₂O₃, Se and 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) with NiCl₂ and ZnCl₂ in water at 140°C for 5 days afforded selenidoarsenates [Ni(phen)₃]₂[As₈Se₁₄] (1) and [Zn(phen)₃]₂[As₈Se₁₄] (2), respectively. The reactions with CoCl₂ and NiCl₂ in CH₃OH aqueous solution produced polyselenidoarsenates [Co(phen)₃][As₂Se₆] (3) and [Ni(phen)₃][As₂Se₆] (4). All transition metal ions are octahedrally coordinated by six nitrogen atoms and all arsenics are trigonal pyramidally coordinated by three seleniums. In 1 and 2, eight [AsSe₃]^3? trigonal pyramids joined via edge-sharing to form [As₈Se₁₄]^4? with condensation grade of 0.571. [As₈Se₁₄]^4? contains two As₃Se₃ and one As₆Se₆ heterocycles. The formations of the selenidoarsenate anion [As₈Se₁₄]^4? in 1 and 2 and polyselenidoarsenate [As₂Se₆]^2? in 3 and 4 show solvent effect on condensation of trigonal bipyramidal [AsSe₃]^3? units under solvothermal conditions.     

Characterization of the reactive and dissociative behavior of transition metal oxide cluster ions in the gas phase

The reactive and dissociative behavior of molybdenum and tungsten oxide cluster ions has been studied in the gas phase using a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer. Cluster ions (MO₃) _n ^? were formed via a simple thermal desorption/electron capture negative ionization method, and their structures were characterized by collision-activated dissociation (CAD). Typically, the clusters fragment by losses of neutral (MO₃) units. Reactions of the oxide cluster ions with ethylene oxide, cyclohexene oxide, ethylene sulfide cyclohexene sulfide, 2,3-butanedione, and 2,4-pentanedione were examined, and product ions were characterized by CAD. The clusters react with ethylene oxide by addition of ethylene oxide or net addition of oxygen, whereas the clusters react with ethylene sulfide via net addition of one or two sulfur atoms. Reactions of the clusters with the diones result in addition of one or two dione units, in some cases with dehydration.     

The Determination Of Thallium In Human Hair By Graphite Furnace Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry

Abstract

An atomic absorption spectrophotometric procedure is des-scribed for the rapid determination of thallium in human hair. Samples of 500 μg are dissolved in nitric acid and treated with hydrogen peroxide. Aliquots of 10 μL are then analyzed using electrothermal atomization in a graphite tube furnace. The characteristic concentration for the method is 1 mg Tl kg^?1 which is adequate for forensic investigation. The relative standard deviation for a series of signals from a hair sample spiked to contain 32 mg Tl^?1 kg was 3 per cent.     

Trans-bis(dicyanamido)nickel(II) complexes with polyaza macrocyclic ligands

Two new trans-bis(dicyanamido)nickel(II) macrocyclic complexes, [Ni(II)(L1){N(CN)₂}₂] · H₂O (1) and [Ni(II)-(L3){N(CN)₂}₂] (2), where L1 is 3,10-bis(2-hydroxyethyl)-1,3,5,8,10,12-hexaazacyclotetradecane and L3 is 3,14-dimethyl-2,6,13,17-tetraazatricyclo[14,4,0^1.18,0^7.12]docosane, have been synthesized and structurally characterized by spectroscopic and X-ray crystallographic methods. In (1) and (2), each central nickel(II) ion possesses a distorted octahedral geometry with four equatorial nitrogen atoms from the macrocycle and two axial nitrogen atoms from dicyanamide anions, which are terminally bonded to the central nickel atom. The solid state electronic spectra of (1) and (2) using the diffuse reflectance method show a characteristic high-spin d⁸ nickel(II) ion in a distorted octahedral environment.     

Nickel(II) complexes with Schiff bases derived from salicylaldehyde or pentanedione and 3-aminopropanethiol

Template reactions of salicylaldehyde or pentanedione with 3-aminopropanethiol (Hapt) in the presence of Ni(II) ions are described. When salicylaldehyde was used, a dinuclear Ni(II) complex [Ni(bit′)]₂ (2) (H₂bit′?=?2-(3′-mercaptopropyliminomethyl)phenol) was obtained instead of the reported trinuclear one [Ni(bit)]₃ (1) (H₂bit?=?2-(2′-mercaptoethyliminomethyl)phenol) containing 2-aminoethanethiol (Haet). Starting from pentanedione, the expected dinuclear complex [Ni(pit′)]₂ (H₂pit′?=?2-(3′-mercaptopropylimino)pentanol) was not obtained, nor was [Ni(pit)]₂ (3) (H₂pit?=?2-(2′-mercaptoethylimino)pentanol). The complex was found to be a trinuclear Ni(II) complex [Ni{Ni(apt)₂}₂]²⁺ (4), as confirmed by elemental analysis, electronic and NMR spectra. Complexes 1 and 3 were also synthesized and their ¹³C, ¹H–¹H and ¹³C–¹H?NMR spectra are discussed in detail. The X-ray crystal structure of 2 shows that two Ni(II) ions are connected by the thiolate donor atom from each ligand, resulting in a four-membered ring. Differences in reactivity and properties is due to the presence of an additional methylene group in the aminoalkane arm of the ligand.     

Soluble Ni alkoxides based on dimethylaminoisopropoxide ligands: molecular structure of [Li(PrOH)Ni (η-OR)2Cl]2 and of cis-NiCl2(ROH)2 (R = CHMeCH2NMe2)

Various routes to Ni^II aminoalkoxides have been investigated. A nickel isopropoxide derivative 1 was prepared by anodic dissolution of the metal in the presence of LiCl as electrolyte. Alcoholysis reactions of 1 with 1-dimethylamino-2-propanol afforded the homoleptic nickel(II) aminoalkoxide 2 together with a NiLi species 3. 2 was also obtained by metathesis reactions between sodium alkoxide and the nickel hexammine complex whereas the reaction between the latter and the aminoalcohol led to an halide solvate, cis-NiCl₂(η²-ROH)₂, 4. The various compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR and UV-vis spectroscopies as well as by X-ray diffraction for 3 and 4. 3 corresponds to [Li(PrⁱOH)Ni(η²-OCHMeCH₂NMe₂)Cl]₂ and the overall structure can be seen as two [Ni(η²-OCHMeCH₂NMe₂)₂Cl]⁻ moieties assembled by Li(PrⁱOH)⁺. The lithium atom is 4-coordinate due to its interaction with the oxygen atoms of the aminoalkoxide ligands. Nickel is 5-coordinate with a distorted tetragonal pyramidal stereochemistry, one nitrogen being in the apical position. The metal displays a distorted octahedral surrounding for the NiCl₂ adduct 4. The bond distances vary in the order NiOR < NiN ≈ NiO(H)R < NiCl for 3 and 4. The various compounds (except 1) are soluble in organic media.     

Colorimetric Microdetermination of Mercury(II) with Some Quinoxaline Azo Compounds in Presence of an Anionic Surfactant

Summary.  A new simple, rapid, sensitive, and selective method is proposed for the microdetermination of mercury. Mercury(II) forms insoluble complexes with 2,3-dichloro-6-(2-hydroxy-3,5-dinitrophenylazo)-quinoxaline (1), 2,3-dichloro-6-(5-amino-3-carboxy-2-hydroxy-phenylazo)-quinoxaline (2), 2,3-dichloro-6-(2,7-dihydroxynaphth-1-ylazo)-quinoxaline (3), and 2,3-dichloro-6-(3-carboxy-2-hydroxy-naphth-1-ylazo)-quinoxaline (4) in aqueous acidic medium; the complexes can be made soluble by the action of an anionic surfactant. The solution of the pink coloured compounds is stable for at least 24 h. Beer’s law is obeyed over the concentration range from 0.1 to 2.8 μg · cm⁻³ of mercury. For a more accurate analysis, Ringbom optimum concentration ranges were found to be 0.25–2.5 μg · cm⁻³. The molar absorpitivity, Sandell sensitivity, and relative standard deviations were also calculated. A slight interference from Pd²⁺ and Cd²⁺ is exhibited by the first three ligands, whereas the last one is only negligibly affected by these metal ions. Strong interference from Ag(I) is evident for all ligands, whereas alkali, alkaline earth, and other transition metals tested posed negligible interference. 15 μg · cm⁻³ of Cd²⁺ and Pd²⁺ or 10 μg · cm⁻³ of Ag⁺ can be tolerated if 1.0 mg of potassium bromide and 2.0 mg of citrate as masking agents are added for the determination of 1.5 μg · cm⁻³ of mercury(II). The method was applied to the determination of methyl- and ethylmercury chloride and the analysis of environmental water samples. Received August 7, 2000. Accepted (revised) October 18, 2000     

Practical Synthesis of New β‐Diketone‐Connected Bipyridine and Its Conversion to Pyrazole‐Centered Bipyridine Ligand

Two new polydentate ligands, 1‐(6‐hydroxymethyl‐2‐pyridyl)‐3‐(2‐pyridyl)‐propane‐1,3‐dione (6) and 1,3‐bis(6‐hydroxymethyl‐2‐pyridyl)‐propane‐1, 3‐dione (8), have been synthesized starting from 2,6‐pyridinedicarboxylic acid by conventional esterification, reduction, and condensation reactions. They were further converted to two new polydentate ligands, 3‐(6‐hydroxymethyl‐2‐pyridyl)‐5‐(2‐pyridyl)‐1H‐pyrazole (7) and 3,5‐bis(6‐hydroxymethyl‐2‐pyridyl)‐1H‐pyrazole (9), by reaction with hydrazine hydrate. These four compounds were characterized by proton nuclear magnetic resonance (¹H NMR), electrospray ionization‐mass spectrum (ESI‐MS), infrared spectrum (IR), and elemental analyses. The structure of 9 was also determined by X‐ray diffraction.     

Determination of Morestan Residues in Water and Foodstuffs by Transmitted Room Temperature Solid Phase Spectrophosphorimetry

Abstract

A method for the determination of the pesticide morestan by means of transmitted room temperature solid phase spectrophosphorimetry has been developed. The method is based on the native phosphorescence showed by the morestan when it is fixed in a Whatman No 4 paper as a solid support. The excitation and emission wavelengths were 362 and 527 nm, respectively. The optimum phosphorescent emission was obtained when the delay time was 0.15 ms and the gate time 12.0 ms without need of a heavy atom. The linear dynamic range was between 0.1 and 1.0 μg.ml^?1, and the detection and quantification limits were 0.03 and 0.09 μg.ml^?1, respectively. The precision of the method, expressed as the relative standard deviation of ten samples at the 0.6 μg.ml^?1 concentration level, was 3.0%. The method was applied to the determination of the pesticide in different type of waters, potatoes and vegetables.
