Fading of a novel colorimetric receptor after recognizing H2PO4−

A novel selective and sensitive colorimetric receptor 1 (1, 10-phenanthroline-2, 9-dialdehyde bis-(-p-nitrophenylureasemicarbo-hydrazone)) based on urea showing distinctive color fading phenomenon towards H₂PO₄^? ion was reported. Fancifully, the recognition process of receptor 1 to H₂PO₄^? was not interfered by the existence of others anions. We have probed the binding mechanism of 1-H₂PO₄^? that H₂PO₄^? ion induced competitive hydrogen binding process via intramolecular hydrogen-bond by UV–vis, fluorescence, ¹H NMR titrations and ESI-MS experiments.

Chromium(III) Hydroxide Solubility in The Aqueous Na+-OH?-H2PO?4-HPO2?4-PO3?4-H2O System: A Thermodynamic Model

Chromium(III)-phosphate reactions are expected to be important in managing high-level radioactive wastes stored in tanks at many DOE sites. Extensive studies on the solubility of amorphous Cr(III) solids in a wide range of pH (2.8–14) and phosphate concentrations (10^–4 to 1.0 m) at room temperature (22±2)°C were carried out to obtain reliable thermodynamic data for important Cr(III)-phosphate reactions. A combination of techniques (XRD, XANES, EXAFS, Raman spectroscopy, total chemical composition, and thermodynamic analyses of solubility data) was used to characterize solid and aqueous species. Contrary to the data recently reported in the literature,⁽¹⁾ only a limited number of aqueous species [Cr(OH)₃H₂PO^–₄, Cr(OH)₃(H₂PO₄)^2–₂), and Cr(OH)₃HPO^2–₄] with up to about four orders of magnitude lower values for the formation constants of these species are required to explain Cr(III)-phosphate reactions in a wide range of pH and phosphate concentrations. The log K^o values of reactions involving these species [Cr(OH)₃(aq)+H₂PO^–₄⇌Cr(OH)₃H₂PO^–₄; Cr(OH)₃(aq)+2H₂PO^–₄⇌Cr(OH)₃(H₂PO₄)^2–₂; Cr(OH)₃(aq)+HPO^2–₄⇌Cr(OH)₃HPO^2–₄] were found to be 2.78±0.3, 3.48±0.3, and 1.97±0.3, respectively.     

The d metal-sulfosalicylate complexes: Herring-bone, ladder and double-stranded chain frameworks with green luminescences

Assembly of 5-sulfosalicylic acid (H₃L) and d¹⁰ transition metal ions (Cd^II, Ag^I) with the neutral N-donor ligands produces five new complexes: [Cd₂(HL)₂(4,4′-bipy)₃]_n·2nH₂O (1), {[Cd₂(μ₂-HCO₂)₂(4,4′-bipy)₂(H₂O)₄][Cd(HL)₂(4,4′-bipy)(H₂O)₂]}_n (2), {[Cd(4,4′-bipy)(H₂O)₄][HL]·H₂O}_n (3), [Cd(HL)(dpp)₂(H₂O)]_n·4nH₂O (4), {[Ag(4,4′-bipy)][Hhbs]}_n (5) (4,4′-bipy=4,4′-bipyridine, dpp=1,3-di(pyridin-4-yl)propane, H₂hbs=4-hydroxybenzenesulfonic acid, the decarboxylation product of H₃L). Complex 1 adopts a 5-connected 3D bilayer topology. Complex 2 has the herring-bone and ladder chain, which are extended to a 3D network via hydrogen bonding. In 3–4 complexes, 3 is a 3D supermolecular structure formed by polymeric chains and 2D network of HL²⁻, while 4 gives the double-stranded chains. In 5, ladder arrays are stacked with the 2D networks of Hhbs⁻ anions in an –ABAB– sequence. Complexes 1–4 display green luminescences in solid state at room temperature, while emission spectra of 3 and 4 show obvious blue-shifts at low temperature.     

Amino-substitutedgem-diphosphonic acids: Dissociation mechanism and the structure of species in aqueous solutions

The mechanism of dissociation of amino-substitutedgem-diphosphonic acids R₂N(CH₂) _n CR'(PO₃H₂)₂ with different lengths of the alkylidene chain and different substituents at the N atom was studied by vibrational (IR, Raman) and NMR (¹H,¹⁴N,³¹P) spectroscopy using data of conformational analysis (molecular mechanical) data. The important role of intramolecular H-bonds and cyclic solvates for the stabilization of various conformations and tautomeric forms of ions was demonstrated. The spectral data that allow one to consider thegem-diphosphonate group as a single acidic center were found.

Effect of intercalation of metal ions on the colloidal and solid properties of vanadium pentaoxide hydrate,V2O5 nH2O

The colloidal stability of V₂O₅ nH₂O was studied on the basis of the measurements of critical flocculation concentration (CFC) by metal ions, amount of ions exchanged (or intercalated), and -potential. In total, the CFC values obeyed the Schulze Hardy law and strong Hofmeister's series was found in the systems including alkaline ions. The sequence of colloidal stability of V₂O₅ nH₂O in the electrolyte solutions was related to the intercalation of metal ions in the interlayer spaces of the solid. The largest CFC value for Li⁺ (87 mmol dm^–3) was explained by smaller affinity of Li⁺ to be intercalated in V₂O₅ nH₂O as well as smaller Hamaker constant of the intercalated solid compared to the other systems.Effect of intercalation of metal ions on the crystalline properties of the materials was measured by use of XRD and electron microscope. Under highly dehydrated condition the ions whose radii are smaller than 0.1 nm are captured in the structure of V₂O₅ nH₂O without changing interlayer distances, while those larger than 0.1 nm increase the interlayer distance. In a saturated H₂O vapor interlayer distances increased with increasing charge of intercalated ions. However, when intercalated with ions carrying the same valency the interlayer distances of the sample decreased with decrease in the hydration property of ions. Hydrolyzable Cr³⁺ gave exceptionally larger interlayer distances, both in a vacuum and in H₂O vapor.     

Scandium fluorophosphate glasses: a structural approach

A systematic investigation on glass formation in the ternary system InF₃–BaF₂–Sc(PO₃)_3n has been carried out. Scandium polyphosphate Sc(PO₃)_3n has been used as a third component in order to investigate the possibilities of obtaining new stable glasses. The above long-chain polyphosphate has been prepared using a specially elaborated cryo-technique, which allowed the preparation of high-purity product. Stable ternary compositions have been obtained within the compositions range (in mol%): 5–75 InF₃, 0–80% BaF₂, 0–50% Sc(PO₃)_3n. Glasses were characterized by Differential Scanning Calorimetry, vibrational spectroscopy (Raman) and ³¹P NMR. Structural features for the glass were put forward. Isolated P(O,F)4 groups or fluoroindated metaphosphate units could be identified depending on glass compositions.     

Solubility of (UO2)3(PO4)2?4H2O in H+-Na+-OH?-H2PO?4-HPO2?4-PO3?4-H2O and Its Comparison to the Analogous PuO2 +2 System

The objectives of this study were to address uncertainties in the solubility product of (UO₂)₃(PO₄)₂⋅4H₂O(c) and in the phosphate complexes of U(VI), and more importantly to develop needed thermodynamic data for the Pu(VI)-phosphate system in order to ascertain the extent to which U(VI) and Pu(VI) behave in an analogous fashion. Thus studies were conducted on (UO₂)₃(PO₄)₂⋅4H₂O(c) and (PuO₂)₃(PO₄)₂⋅4H₂O(am) solubilities for long-equilibration periods (up to 870 days) in a wide range of pH values (2.5 to 10.5) at fixed phosphate concentrations of 0.001 and 0.01 M, and in a range of phosphate concentrations (0.0001–1.0 M) at fixed pH values of about 3.5. A combination of techniques (XRD, DTA/TG, XAS, and thermodynamic analyses) was used to characterize the reaction products. The U(VI)-phosphate data for the most part agree closely with thermodynamic data presented in Guillaumont et al.,⁽¹⁾ although we cannot verify the existence of several U(VI) hydrolyses and phosphate species and we find the reported value for formation constant of UO₂PO⁻₄ is in error by more than two orders of magnitude. A comprehensive thermodynamic model for (PuO₂)₃(PO₄)₂⋅4H₂O(am) solubility in the H⁺-Na⁺-OH⁻-Cl⁻-H₂PO⁻₄-HPO²⁻₄-PO³⁻₄-H₂O system, previously unavailable, is presented and the data shows that the U(VI)-phosphate system is an excellent analog for the Pu(VI)-phosphate system.     

The study of cis - and trans -2 butene using mass spectrometry

Using mass spectrometric technique, the effect of geometrical isomerism on the first and higher appearance energy values for C₄H₃ ⁺, C₄H₇ ⁺ and C₃H,₃ ⁺ ions obtained from cis-2-butene andtrans-2-butene is reported. The structure in the ionization efficiency curves (studied for 9 eV above threshold) for the same ions obtained from the two isomers is reported and compared. It is believed that at threshold C₄H₇ ⁺ fragment is formed from the two isomers as methallyl ion. For C₃H₃ ⁺ fragment formed from the cw-isomer at threshold the proposed structure is the propargyl ion with ΔH_f equal to 279-4 kcal/mole while for that ion obtained fromtransisomer the proposed structure is the allenyl ion with ΔH_f equal to 296.6 kcal/mole.     

Incorporation of cesium ion from CsNO3 into NH4Zr2(PO4)3 studied by TG-IR spectroscopy and powder XRD

The incorporation mechanism of Cs⁺ ions from CsNO₃ into NH₄Zr₂(PO₄)₃ was studied on a mixture of CsNO₃ and NH₄Zr₂(PO₄)₃ by powder X-ray diffraction analysis and by monitoring off-gases released from the mixture upon heating with a thermogravimetry analyzer connected to an infrared spectrometer. With increasing temperature, the decomposition of CsNO₃ first started, followed by the conversion of NH₄Zr₂(PO₄)₃ to HZr₂(PO₄)₃ with the release of NH₃. At around 500°C, the Cs Zr₂(PO₄)₃ phase started to appear as a result of the H⁺/Cs⁺ ion exchange. No Cs⁺ ion loss was observed at thermal treatment temperatures of 900°C and lower.

Formation of titanium phosphate composites during phosphoric acid decomposition of natural sphene

Decomposition of mineral sphene, CaTiOSiO₄, by H₃PO₄ is investigated in detail. During the dissolution process, simultaneous calcium leaching and formation of titanium phosphate (TiP) take place. The main product of decomposition is a solid titanium phosphate-silica composite. The XRD, solid-sate NMR, IR, TGA, SEM and BET data were used to identify and characterize the composite as a mixture of crystalline Ti(HPO₄)₂·H₂O and silica. When 80% phosphoric acid is used the decomposition degree is higher than 98% and calcium is completely transferred into the liquid phase. Formation of Ti(HPO₄)₂·H₂O proceeds via formation of meta-stable titanium phosphate phases, Ti(H₂PO₄)(PO₄)·2H₂O and Ti(H₂PO₄)(PO₄).The sorption affinities of TiP composites were examined in relation to caesium and strontium ions. A decrease of H₃PO₄ concentration leads to formation of composites with greater sorption properties. The maximum sorption capacity of TiP is observed when 60% H₃PO₄ is used in sphene decomposition.The work demonstrates a valuable option within the Ti(HPO₄)₂·H₂O-SiO₂ composite synthesis scheme, to use phosphoric acid flows for isolation of CaHPO₄·2H₂O fertilizer.     

Isomerization ofn-butane on the SO4/ZrO2 catalyst promoted by IV Period metals

The catalytic activity of superacidic systems based on SO₄/ZrO₂ and modified by IV Period metals in isomerization ofn-butane was studied. At low temperatures of the reaction, the introduction of Fe³⁺, Sc³⁺, Co²⁺, or Zn²⁺ ions (1%) increases the yield of isobutane by 1.5 times due to the activation ofn-butane on the sites created by the promoting ions. The addition of Cr³⁺, V⁴⁺, or Mn²⁺ (1%) decreases the catalytic activity because of a decrease in the catalyst acidity, most likely, due to the reduction of surface sulfur species. The influence of the nature of the support and surface additives of SiO₂, TiO₂, and ZrO₂ on the activity and selectivity of the catalytic system inn-butane isomerization was studied.

Micellar properties of zwitterionic phosphobetaine amphiphiles in aqueous solution: Influence of the intercharge distance

Zwitterionic amphiphiles of the general formula H(CH₂)_y ⁺ N(CH₃)₂(CH₂)_n PO₂C₆H ₅ ^– , where the number of intercharge methylenesn is varied, were studied in dilute aqueous solution. Their critical micellar concentrations show a peculiar variation withn, first increasing asn varies from 1 to 4 and then slowly decreasing as methylenes are added up to 10. This behavior is interpreted as being the consequence of two opposite contributions. The first is the classical CMC lowering due to the increase of hydrophobic character with the total number of methylene groups in the surfactant molecule. The second contribution is the increase in the dipole moment of the zwitterionic headgroup withn, leading to stronger dipole-dipole repulsions between headgroups at the micellar surface. Experimental results suggest that the dipole moment does not increase linearly withn because of the polymethylene chain flexibility. This is supported by¹³C NMR relaxation experiments.

Cadmium(II) complexes with phosphine tellurides: synthesis and multinuclear (31P, 125Te,and 113Cd) NMR characterization in solution

New cadmium(II) complexes with phosphine telluride ligands of the type CdX₂(R₃PTe)_n [X?=?ClO₄^?, n?=?4: R?=?n-Bu (1), Me₂?N (2), C₅H₁₀?N (3), C₄H₈?N (4) or OC₄H₈?N (5); X?=?Cl^–, n?=?2: R?=?n-Bu (6), Me₂?N (7), C₅H₁₀?N (8), C₄H₈?N (9) or OC₄H₈?N (10)] have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, IR and multinuclear (³¹P, ¹²⁵Te, and ¹¹³Cd) NMR spectroscopy. In particular, the solution structures of these complexes were confirmed by ¹¹³Cd NMR at low temperature, which displays a quintuplet for each of the perchlorate complexes and a triplet for each of the chloride complexes due to coupling with four and two equivalent phosphorus atoms, respectively, indicating a four-coordinate tetrahedral geometry for the metal center. These multiplet features were further accompanied by one bond Te–Cd couplings, clearly showing that the ligand is coordinated to the metal through tellurium. The results are discussed and compared with those obtained for closely related phosphine chalcogenide analogs.
