Spectrophotometric Determination of Trace Chromium(VI) in Mass Chromium(III)

There is little conclusive evidence of the toxic effects of Cr(III) so far, but Cr(VI) has carcinogenic activity, so the analysis of the chromine ions is very important in environmental research and the quality control of industry products. Usually Cr(III) and Cr(VI) interfere with each other in the species analysis, the measurement of Cr(VI) of numerous previous papers is related to the Cr(VI) samples, which contain a little Cr(III). When the amount of trivalent chromine exceeds ten …     

Synthesis and Characterization of Chromium(III), Molybdenum(III), Ruthenium(III) and Osmium(III) Complexes with N2O2–Schiff Bases of 2-Hydroxy-1-Naphthaldimines

Monomolybdenum, monochromium, triosmium and triruthenium clusters, containing weakly coordinated ligands, are valuable starting materials for the preparation of a wide variety of compounds because of the ease with which these ligands can be displaced by another substrate under mild conditions. Four widely used complexes of this type are Mo(CO)₆, Cr(CO)₆, Os₃(CO)₁₂ and Ru₃(CO)₁₂ respectively. These complexes react with 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldimines to give octahedral complexes which are characterized by elemental analyses, i.r. and u.v.–vis. spectra, molar conductances, d.t.a. and t.g.a. analyses, cyclic voltammetry, magnetic and e.s.r. measurements. The molar conductances in DMF solution indicate that the complexes are non-ionic. The i.r. spectra of complexes (3), (7) and (10) show (CO) bands due to bonded CO groups, however complexes (6) and (13) show (CO) bands due to bonded, bridged and terminal CO groups. The g ₁₁-values of the complexes indicate that they have covalent bond character. Also, the electrochemical reduction of the complexes has been discussed.

The absorption electronic spectra of Chrome azurol S and its complex with Cr(III) in water–glycerol media with glycerol contents from 10 to 50% by vol. have been measured. The stability constant of the complex in water–glycerol binary mixtures has been determined. It has been shown that the rate of reaction increases as the organic solvent content increases.     

Decomposition of Dibenzyl Ether Hydroperoxide in the Presence of Homo- and Heteronuclear Chromium(III) μ3-Oxotrimetallohexapivalates

Results are given for a kinetic study of the decomposition of the hydroperoxide (HP) of dibenzyl ether (DBE) to give oxidates of the latter in the presence of complexes Cr₂MOPiv₆·3L(M = Cr(III), Fe(III), Ni(II), and Co(II); L = PPy, -Pic, and H₂O). The experimental data were satisfactorily described assuming that the formation of an HP–catalyst intermediate complexes is the rate-limiting step and the catalyst is deactivated by components of the DBE oxidate and taking account of the noncatalytic decomposition of the HP.     

Extraction chromatographic study of aluminium(III) and mutual separation of aluminium(III), gallium(III), indium(III) and thallium(III) with N-n-octylaniline

A selective method has been developed for extraction chromatographic studies of aluminium(III) and its separation from several metal ions with a chromatographic column containing N-n-octylaniline (liquid anion exchanger) coated on silanized silica gel as a stationary phase. The aluminium(III) was quantitatively extracted with the 0.065 mol/L N-n-octylaninine from 0.013 to 0.05 mol/L sodium succinate at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The extracted metal ion has been recovered by eluting with 25.0 mL of 0.05 mol/L hydrochloric acid and estimated spectrophotometrically with aurintricarboxylic acid. The effects of the acid concentration, the reagent concentration, the flow rate and the eluting agents have been investigated. The log-log plots of distribution coefficient (KdAl(III)) versus N-n-octylaniline concentrationin 0.005 and 0.007 mol/L sodium succinate gave theslopes 0.5 and 0.7 respectively and showed theprobable composition of theextracted species was 1:1 (metal to amine ratio) and the nature of extracted species is [RR''NH2+ Al succinate2-] org. .The extraction of aluminium(III) was carried out in the presence of various ions to ascertain the tolerance limit of individual ions. Aluminium(III) has been separated from multicomponent mixtures, pharmaceutical samples and synthetic mixtures corresponding to alloys. A scheme for mutual separation of aluminium(III), indium(III), gallium(III) and thallium(III) has been developed by using suitable masking agents. The method is fast, accurate and precise.

Complexation of Sc(III), Ga(III), In(III) and Ln(III) with Eriochrome Red B

Cyclic linear-sweep voltammetry was used to study the complexation of Sc(III), Ga(III), In(III) and Ln(III) with eriochrome red B (ERB). It was established that all metal ions investigated form complex compounds with azodye having a mole ratio, M(III):ERB = 1:2. The hydroxo forms of M(III) ions, which take part in interaction with ERB, were determined by the Nazarenko method. The stability constants for the formation of these chelates are nearly the same. It was shown that the reduction of the ligand in the complex does not only depend on the peculiarities of complexation, but the processes occurring in pre-electrode layer also influence it.

Liquid secondary ion mass spectrometry of several β-diketonates of cobalt(III) and chromium(III)

The positive, liquid secondary ion (LSI) mass spectra of six cobalt(III) and three chromium(III) (β-diketonates ligand = L^?) were examined in a 3-nitrobenzyl alcohol matrix. The complexes of both metals yield clean, matrix-free mass spectra, but there are important differences between them. The cobalt compounds show prominent peaks assignable to the molecular ion, CoL ₃ ⁺ , of the monomeric chelates, together with abundant dimeric ions, such as Co₂L ₄ ⁺ and Co₂L ₃ ⁺ ; in contrast, chromium complexes show protonated monomers, CrL₃H⁺, in addition to ionized monomers, CrL ₃ ⁺ , and only minor formation of dimeric ions. The collisionally-activated dissociation (CAD) mass spectrum of Co₂L ₄ ⁺ shows fragmentation to CoL ₂ ⁺ and Co₂L ₃ ⁺ . That of Co₂L ₃ ⁺ shows fragmentation only to dimeric ions, including Co₂L ₂ ⁺ and, for thienyl or phenyl substituted ligands, to Co₂L₂Ar⁺ or Co₂LAr⁺ (Ar = thienyl or phenyl). Neither Co₂L ₄ ⁺ nor Co₂L ₃ ⁺ dissociates to the CoL ₃ ⁺ ion. The LSI mass spectrum of a mixture of two different cobalt chelates shows dimeric ions containing both types of ligand, which can be explained by ion-molecule reactions in the selvedge region. The differing behaviors of the cobalt and chromium complexes is attributed to the relatively greater stability of the +2 oxidation state for cobalt than for chromium.     

Synthesis,Spectra and Crystal Structure of Tetrakis(Triphenylarsine Oxide)Iron(III)-μ-Oxo-Tribromoiron(III) Tetrabromoferrate(III)-Acetonitrile

The oxidation of triphenylarsine with dioxygen in reaction systems containing some iron compound and Br^- anions in acetonitrile leads to the formation of a novel unsymmetrical oxo-bridged diiron(III) complex [(OAsPh₃)₄ Fe(μ-O)FeBr₃]⁺ [FeBr₄]^- ·CH₃CN, where OAsPh₃ is triphenylarsine oxide. The title complex is also formed by direct reaction of iron(III) bromide and OAsPh₃ with dioxygen in acetonitrile solution. The crystal structure of the complex was solved by X-ray diffraction techniques. The cation contains two unsymmetrical species with an Fe-O-Fe bond angle of 159.2(2)°; one iron atom is pentacoordinated by four OAsPh₃ ligands and a γ-oxo ligand which connects the tetracoordinated Fe atom with the FeBr₃O chromophore. Structural parameters and IR spectra of similar complexes are compared and discussed.

The compositions of gaseous and solid thermolysis products were established. A reversible thermochromic effect was found on heating to 200–210°C.     

Determination of the Hydrolysis Constants and Solubility Product of Chromium(III) from Reduction of Dichromate Solutions by ICP-OES and UV–Visible Spectroscopy

The determination of equilibrium constants is difficult when several chemical species are simultaneously present in solution. In this investigation, optical emission spectroscopic determinations of chromium(III) concentration in a 10⁻⁴ mol⋅dm⁻³ solution, prepared from K₂Cr₂O₇ reduced in HNO₃ or HCl media, were used to construct the pCr_(aq)–pC _H diagram. This diagram was used to calculate the pC _H borderline of precipitation, to estimate the solubility product (log₁₀K_sp,Cr(OH)3^*)(\log_{10}K_{\mathrm{sp,Cr(OH)}_{3}}^{*}), and the hydrolysis constants (log₁₀b_Cr,H^*,log₁₀b_Cr,2H^*(\log_{10}\beta_{\mathrm{Cr,H}}^{*},\log_{10}\beta_{\mathrm{Cr,2H}}^{*}, and log₁₀b_Cr,3H^*)\log_{10}\beta_{\mathrm{Cr,3H}}^{*}) of Cr(III). The hydrolysis constants were also calculated using the SQUAD and SUPERQUAD software, along with the average ligand number method. UV-Vis absorption data and associated variables were used in SQUAD, SUPERQUAD, and the average ligand calculations. Results are: 9.00±0.04 for the pC _H at the onset of precipitation, 12.40 for log₁₀K_sp,Cr(OH)3^*\log_{10}K_{\mathrm{sp,Cr(OH)}_{3}}^{*}, −3.52±0.02 for log₁₀b_Cr,H^*\log_{10}\beta_{\mathrm{Cr,H}}^{*}, −9.30±0.87 for log₁₀b_Cr,2H^*\log_{10}\beta_{\mathrm{Cr,2H}}^{*} and −17.18±0.16 for log₁₀b_Cr,3H^*\log_{10}\beta_{\mathrm{Cr,3H}}^{*}, respectively. All methods produced essentially the same values for the hydrolysis constants of Cr(III).

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.     

σ-Bonded organometallic derivatives of yttrium(III) and thulium(III): An unusual ligand coupling reaction mediated by thulium(III)

The reaction between LnI₃(THF)_3.5 and 2 equiv. of {(Me₃Si)₂(Me₂MeOSi)C}K (1) in THF at room temperature yields only the mono-substituted products {(Me₃Si)₂(Me₂MeOSi)C}LnI₂(THF)₂ [Ln = Y (5), Tm (6)]; under more forcing conditions decomposition occurs. In contrast, the metathesis reaction between TmI₃(THF)_3.5 and 2 equiv. of the lithium iodide-containing salt {(Me₃Si)₂(Me₂MeOSi)C}K(LiI)_x yields the highly unusual separated ion pair complex [[{(Me₃Si)₂C(SiMe₂)}₂O]TmI₂{Li(THF)₃}₂][[{(Me₃Si)₂C(SiMe₂)}₂O]TmI₂] (8). The dianionic ligand in 8 is derived from the coupling of 2 equiv. of (Me₃Si)₂(Me₂MeOSi)C⁻, accompanied by the formal elimination of Me₂O. The structures of compounds 5, 6, and 8 have been determined by X-ray crystallography; compound 8 crystallizes as an unusual ion pair, the cation and anion of which differ only in the inclusion of 2 equiv. of Li(THF)₃ in the former, bridged to thulium by iodide ions.

The coordination polyhedron of the lutetium atom is a distorted square antiprism with broken square faces with the oxygen atoms of the organic ligands and water at the vertices. There are weak intramolecular hydrogen bonds N-H…O(H₂) in the cation. The coordination polyhedron of the chromium atom is a somewhat distorted octahedron. The thermal stability of the compound was studied in an inert atmosphere and in air.
