Ab initio quantum mechanical calculations of energy,geometry, vibrational frequencies and IR intensities of tetraphosphorus tetrasulphide, α-P4S4(D2d), and vibrational analysis of As4S4 and As4Se4

Geometry, vibrational frequencies and IR intensities are calculated for α-P₄S₄ by scaled quantum mechanical calculations at the 6-31G*/SCF and STO-3G*/SCF levels. For both basis sets the frequencies are scaled with factors close to or equal to those found for P₄S₃, and based on these results a revised assignment is proposed. The α-P₄S₄ force field is transferred to the isostructural As₄S₄ and As₄Se₄ molecules and rescaled, and based on a good fit to experimental frequencies a new assignment is also proposed for these compounds.     

Radiation effects in physical aging of binary As–S and As–Se glasses

Radiation-induced physical aging effects are studied in binary As _x S_100−x and As _x Se_100−x (30 ≤ x ≤ 42) glasses by conventional differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) method. It is shown that γ-irradiation (Co⁶⁰ source, ~3 MGy dose) of glassy As _x S_100−x caused a measurable increase in glass transition temperature and endothermic peak area in the vicinity of glass transition region, which was associated with acceleration of structural relaxation processes in these materials. In contrast to sulfide glasses, the samples of As–Se family did not exhibit any significant changes in DSC curves after γ-irradiation. The observed difference in radiation-induced physical aging between sulfides and selenides was explained by more effective destruction-polymerization transformations and possible metastable defects formation in S-based glassy network.

Solar blind photocell – a simple element specific detector in Hg, As and Se speciation

An element-specific detection method, based on atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) using solar blind photocells instead of a dispersion system, is described for the determination of Hg-, As-, and Se-species. Spectrometric investigations of AAS background lamps for As and Se measured with a CsI-cathode photocell shows its quality as narrow band detector. Species determination can be carried out subsequently to prior separation by HPLC or GC. The LODs for alkylated Hg species were below 1 ng/L, and for methylated As species below 1 μg/L. The relative standard deviation was < 10%. With the components described the production of cheap and automated dedicated speciation spectrometers is possible.

Isothiocyanatochloromethylphosphonates and Phosphinates – Versatile Synthones for Obtaining of S (Se), N,P–Containing Heterocycles

Abstract

Isothiocyanatochloromethyl(thio)phosphonates and (thio)-phosphinates 1 (X=O, S; R¹ = OPh, CH₂Cl, NCS; R² = H, Cl have been found to be convenient starting material for synthesis of a variety of S (Se), N, P-containing cyclic compounds. They react with different proton containing nucleophiles in the presence of a base with formation of saturated 2 and unsaturated 3 five membered phosphacyclanes. Diisothiocyanatodichloromethylphosphonates 1 (R¹ = NCS, R² =Cl) produce with amines and thiols appropriate bicyclic compounds 4.     

Organophosphines in PtPCOX (X = N,Cl, S), PtPCNX (X = Cl,S, Br,I, As) and PtPCClX (X = S,I, As) derivatives: structural aspects

In this review are classified and analyzed structural parameters of almost 90 monomeric organoplatinum complexes with inner coordination spheres consisting of PtPCOX (X?=?N, Cl, S), PtPCNX (X?=?Cl, S, Br, I, As) and PtPCClX (X?=?S, I, As). These complexes crystallized in three crystal systems: orthorhombic (× 11), triclinic (× 32) and monoclinic (× 45). Distorted square planar arrangements about the Pt(II) atoms are provided by mono-, heterobi- and heterotridentate donor ligands. The chelating ligands create a wide variety of four-, five- and six-membered metallocyclic rings and the effects of both steric and electronic factors influence the L–Pt–L bite angles. There are wide variations in the trans-positions of the donor ligands. Two examples are classified as distortion isomers.     

Bimetallic palladium(II) and iron(III), titanium(IV), vanadium(V), cobalt(II), and copper(II) complexes with the [As2W19O67(H2O)]14− heteropolyanion

The formation of bimetallic Pd(II) and M = Fe(III), Ti(IV), V(V), Co(II), or Cu(II) complexes with the two-vacancy [As₂W₁₉O₆₇(H₂O)]^14? heteropolyanion (HPA) (below referred to as As₂W₁₉) has been studied by UV/Vis and IR spectroscopy and differential dissolution. In an aqueous solution at pH 6 and a Pd: M: As₂W₁₉ molar ratio of 1: 1: 1, heteropoly complexes (HPC) incorporating two different metals one being Pd(II) are formed. The resulting complexes were precipitated from solution as cesium salts. In the case of Pd(II) and M = Fe(III), Co(II), or Cu(II) ions, the precipitate contained bimetallic HPC [As₂W₁₉FePDO₆₇(H₂O)₂]^9? (65.9 wt %), [As₂W₁₉CoPdO₆₇(H₂O)₂]^10? (45.6 wt %), and [As₂W₁₉CuPdO₆₇(H₂O)₂]^10? (50.7 wt %) mixed with monometallic HPC [As₂W₁₉M₂O₆₇(H₂O)₂]^{(14 ? 2m)?} (As₂W₁₉M₂). In the case of Pd(II) and Ti(IV) or V(V), bimetallic HPC of a different composition were precipitated, namely, [As₂W₁₉Ti₂O₆₇(OH _x )₂ PdO]^{(10 ? 2x)?} (76.8 wt %) and [As₂W₁₉V₂O₆₇(OH _x )₂ PdO]^{(8 ? 2x)?} (15.0 wt %), where palladium ions are not incorporated in the HPC structure but are attached to the HPC surface, possibly, as hydroxide species. Using M = Pd(II), Ti(IV), V(V) ions and the HPA As₂W₁₉ ([M]: [As₂W₁₉] = 2 : 1, pH 6), new monometallic HPC, [As₂W₁₉Pd₂O₆₇(H₂O)₂]^10?, [As₂W₁₉Ti₂O₆₇(OH _x )₂]^{(10 ? 2x)?}, and [As₂W₁₉V₂O₆₇(OH _x )₂]^{(8 ? 2x)?} (x = 0, 1, or 2), were obtained.     

Medium Controlled Stoichiometric Complexation of Penicillin G—Potassium Drug with Se(IV), Nb(V), Ta(V), and Te(IV) Chlorides: Physicochemical and Antitumor Activity of the Complexes

Four new 1: 1 ratio of Se⁺⁴, Nb⁺⁵, Ta⁺⁵, and Te⁺⁴ penicillinate complexes are synthesized in the reaction of penicillin potassium salt (Pin-G-K) with Se(IV), Nb(V), Ta(V), and Te(IV) chlorides. Structures of the synthesized complexes are characterized by elemental analysis, conductivity, magnetic susceptibility, IR, UV-Vis, ¹H and ¹³C NMR, and mass spectra, SEM, TEM, and XRD. Diamagnetic and electronic spectral studies allow to elucidate the geometry of penicillinate chelates around central metal ions. The monomeric structures of Pin-G complexes with six or eight coordinated metal ions are proposed. The metal ions are coordinated toward Pin-G as tridentate chelates via the amide and β-lactam carbonyl, and monodentate carboxylate groups. According to powder XRD the complexes have crystalline to poly crystalline nature. In vitro antimicrobial activity of Pin-G complexes is tested against four bacteria pathogens: G^? (Klebsiella and Escherichia coli) and G+ (Staphylococcus epidermidis and Staphylococcus aureus). Anti-tumor activity of the Pin-G complexes is assessed against human hepato cellular carcinoma (HepG-2) and human breast cancer (MCF-7) tumor cell lines.

Preparation, spectral and thermal properties of Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), and Cd(II) complexes with iodosubstituted 2,2′-dipyrrolylmethene

Complexes [ML₂] of cobalt(II), nickel(II), copper(II), zinc(II), and cadmium(II) with asymmetrically substituted (E)-3-ethyl-5-[(4-iodo-3,5-dimethyl-2H-pyrrol-2-ylidene)methyl]-2,4-dimethyl-1H-pyrrole (HL) have been prepared and characterized for the first time. The spectral properties, stability in solutions and in the solid phase at elevated temperature of the complexes have been studied. The effects of complexing metal ion and the reaction medium on the spectral luminescent properties (absorptivity, quantum yield, fluorescence lifetime, and the radiation constant) and on thermal destruction of the [ML₂] complexes have been discussed.     

Novel polyselenidoarsenate and selenidoarsenate: solvothermal synthesis and characterization of [Co(phen)3][As2Se2(μ-Se3)(μ-Se5)] and [Co(phen)3]2[As8Se14

Novel cobalt polyselenidoarsenate [Co(phen)(3)][As(2)Se(2)(μ-Se(3))(μ-Se(5))] (1; phen = 1,10-phenanthroline) was methanolothermally synthesized by the reaction of CoCl(2), As(2)O(3), and Se templated by phen in a CH(3)OH solvent at 130 °C. The same reaction in a H(2)O solvent yielded cobalt selenidoarsenate [Co(phen)(3)](2)[As(8)Se(14)] (2). In 1, the AsSe(+) units are alternately joined by the μ-Se(3)(2-) and μ-Se(5)(2-) bridging ligands to form a novel helical polyselenidoarsenate chain [As(2)Se(2)(μ-Se(3))(μ-Se(5))(2-)](∞). In 2, eight pyramidal AsSe(3) units are connected via corner sharing into the new member of the selenidoarsenate aggregate [As(8)Se(14)](4-) with a condensation grade of 0.571, which represents the first discrete selenidoarsenate(III) with a condensation grade of above 0.50. The octahedral complex [Co(phen)(3)](2+) is formed in situ to act as a countercation in compounds 1 and 2. 1 and 2 exhibit steep absorption band gaps at 2.09 and 2.16 eV, respectively.     

Interaction of Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), and Zn(II) with N,N′-(aldose)2-thiocarbohydrazide: synthesis,electrochemistry, and spectral characterization

Complexes of Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), and Zn(II) with N,N′-(aldose)₂–thiocarbohydrazide (LH₂) were synthesized, isolated as solid products and characterized by analytical means as well as by spectral techniques, FTIR, ¹H NMR, EPR, UV spectroscopy, and CD. All the metal ions formed M[LH]X complexes. Molar conductance values in DMF indicate non-electrolytic complexes. In DMSO with tetramethylammonium chloride supporting electrolyte, the copper complex displays irreversible cyclic voltammetric responses with E _p near ?0.621 and 0.461 V versus Ag/AgCl at scan rate of 0.1 V s^?1. Probable structures for the complexes are proposed.     

Thermodynamics of Copper(II), Zinc(II), Cobalt(II), Mercury(II), and Nickel(II) Complexation with α,α-Dipyrrolylmethene in DMF

Thermodynamics of complexation reactions between Zn(II), Ni(II), Hg(II), Co(II), and Cu(II) acetates and 3,35,5-tetramethyl-4,4-dibutyldipyrrolylmethene in DMF at 298.15 K is studied by calorimetric and spectrophotometric methods. The replacement of Zn²⁺, Ni²⁺, and Hg²⁺ ions by Co²⁺ and Cu²⁺ ions was found to increase the equilibrium constants of reactions of complex formation with dipyrrolylmethene by more than two orders of magnitude. The role of solvation interactions in coordination of dipyrrolylmethene by d-metal ions is established.     

Coordination reactions of 3,3′-bis(dipyrrolylmethene) with Co(II), Cu(II), and Zn(II) acetylacetonates, valinates, and dipyrrolylmethenates

Using spectrophotometry we found that ligand exchange in the systems of H₂L-[MX₂]-DMF, where M denotes Co²⁺, Cu²⁺, and Zn²⁺; X means Acac^?, Val^?, dpm^?; Hdpm^? is hexamethyldipyrrolylmethene, H₂L is bis(2,4,7,8,9-pentamethyldipyrrolylmethene-3-yl)methane, proceeds through successive stages of formation of hetero- and homoleptic binuclear complexes. Conventional sensitivity of the spectrophotometric determination of Co²⁺, Cu²⁺, and Zn²⁺ reaches 10^?9 M.     

Cu(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Mn(II), and Fe(II) metal complexes containing N,N′-(3,4-diaminobenzophenon)-3,5-But2-salicylaldimine ligand: Synthesis,structural characterization,thermal properties,electrochemistry, and spectroelectrochemistry

The synthesis, structure, spectroscopic and electro-spectrochemical properties of steric hindered Schiff-base ligand [N,N′-(3,4-benzophenon)-3,5-Bu^t₂-salicylaldimine (LH₂)] and its mononuclear Cu(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Mn(II) and Fe(II) complexes are described in this work. The new dissymmetric steric hindered Schiff-base ligand containing a donor set of NONO was prepared through reaction of 3,4-diaminobenzophenon with 3,5-Bu^t₂-salicylaldehyde. Certain metal complexes of this ligand were synthesized by treating an ethanolic solution of the ligand with an equimolar amount of metal salts. The ligand and its complexes were characterized by FT-IR, UV–vis, ¹H NMR, elemental analysis, molar conductivity and thermal analysis methods in addition to magnetic susceptibility, electrochemistry and spectroelectrochemistry techniques. The tetradentate and mononuclear metal complexes were obtained by reacting N,N′-(3,4-benzophenon)-3,5-Bu^t₂-salicylaldimine (LH₂) with some metal acetate in a 1:1 mole ratio. The molar conductance data suggest metal complexes to be non-electrolytes.     

Metal-based antibacterial agents: synthesis,characterization, and in vitro biological evaluation of cefixime-derived Schiff bases and their complexes with Zn(II), Cu(II), Ni(II), and Co(II)

The zinc(II), copper(II), nickel(II), and cobalt(II) complexes of Schiff bases, obtained by the condensation of cefixime with furyl-2-carboxaldehyde, thiophene-2-carboxaldehyde, salicylaldehyde, pyrrol-2-carboxaldehyde, and 3-hydroxynaphthalene-2-carboxaldehyde, were synthesized and characterized by their elemental analyses, molar conductances, magnetic moments, IR, and electronic spectral measurements. Analytical data and electrical conductivity measurements indicated the formation of M?:?L (1?:?2) complexes, [M(L)₂(H₂O)₂] or [M(L)₂(H₂O)₂]Cl₂ [where M?=?Zn(II), Cu(II), Ni(II), and Co(II)] in which ligands are bidentate via azomethine-N and deprotonated-O of salicyl and naphthyl, furanyl-O, thienyl-S, and deprotonated pyrrolyl-N. The magnetic moments and electronic spectral data suggest octahedral complexes. The synthesized ligands, along with their metal complexes, were screened for their antibacterial activity against different bacterial strains. The studies show the metal complexes to be more active against one or more species as compared to the uncomplexed ligands.     

Synthesis,characterization, and biocide activity of new dithiocarbamate-based complexes of In(III), Ga(III), and Bi(III) – Part III

In this work, we describe the syntheses, characterization, and antifungal activity of [In{S₂CNR(R¹)}₃] (1), [Ga{S₂CNR(R¹)}₃] (2), [Bi{S₂CNR(R¹)}₃] (3), [In{S₂CNR(R²)}₃] (4), [Ga{S₂CNR(R²)}₃] (5), and [Bi{S₂CNR(R²)}₃] (6) {R?=?Me; R¹?=?CH₂CH(OMe)₂; and R²?=?2-methyl-1,3-dioxolane}. All complexes have been characterized using infrared and ¹H and ¹³C spectroscopy, and the structures of 1, 3, 4, and 6 have been authenticated by X-ray diffraction. The In(III)–dithiocarbamate bonding scheme depicts a distorted octahedral with asymmetric In(III)–S bonds and S–In–S angles. A pentagonal bipyramid is observed for the corresponding Bi(III) complexes with intermolecular Bi–S associations through the lone pair of electrons. The antifungal activities of 1–6 have been screened against Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus parasiticus, and Penicillium citrinum, and the results have been compared with those of nystatin and miconazole nitrate, as control drugs.     

Simultaneous determination of hydride (Se) and non-hydride-forming (Ca,Mg, K,P, S and Zn) elements in various beverages (beer,coffee, and milk), with minimum sample preparation,by ICP–AES and use of a dual-mode sample-introduction system

A method has been developed enabling direct analysis (i.e. after dilution only) of beer, instant coffee, milk, and milk powder by ICP–AES. Analysis of the beverages after dilution with a low concentration of HNO₃ was used for accurate determination of essential minor and trace elements (Ca, Mg, K, P, S, and Zn). Selenium, introduced as the hydride, was determined simultaneously with the other non-hydride-forming elements using the commercial multi-mode sample-introduction system (MSIS). To obtain accurate results, however, some simple pre-treatment was needed. Analysis was also performed after microwave-assisted decomposition of the samples. Three different modes of sample-preparation, i.e. dilution only, partial decomposition (aqua regia treatment), and complete decomposition were compared. The results obtained by use of the three different sample-preparation methods were in very good agreement. Results from analysis of certified reference material (SRM 1459 non-fat milk powder) also verified the accuracy of the methods. The limit of detection obtained for Se using dual-mode sample introduction was 0.5 ng mL^–1, which corresponds to approximately 2 ng g^–1 in beer and approximately 4 ng g^–1 in coffee and milk when using the recommended procedure.
