Direct determination of nanogram amounts of iodine by atomic-absorption spectroscopy using a graphite-tube atomizer

The direct determination of iodine by AAS at its 183.0 and 178.2 nm resonance lines by using a small graphite-tube atomizer, electrodeless discharge-lamp source and vacuum monochromator is described. Optimum conditions for the determination of iodine have been established; similar sensitivity is obtained when iodide or iodate samples are examined. With 10 mul aqueous samples sensitivities (for 1% absorption) of 4 x 10(-10) g and 2 x 10(-10) g of I were obtained at 183.0 and 178.2 nm respectively; a detection limit of 2 x 10(-10) g was observed at both lines. Non-specific molecular absorption from common inorganic salts causes interference with the determination; the iodine non-resonance line at 184.4 nm may be employed to correct for this interference when moderate amounts of common salts are present.     

Determination of sulpha-drugs with a piezoelectric sensor

A piezoelectric sensor is used for the determination of sulpha-drugs, as pure substances and in their dosage forms, by an indirect micro method based on reaction of the sulpha-drug with bromine and reduction of the resultant N-bromoderivative with iodide to form iodine, which after extraction is monitored with a piezoelectric quartz sensor. The response of the sensor is linear from 2 x 10(-5) to 4 x 10(-4)M sulpha-drug.     

Green Polymer Chemistry VIII: Synthesis of Halo‐ester‐Functionalized Poly(ethylene glycol)s via Enzymatic Catalysis

Halo‐ester‐functionalized poly(ethylene glycol)s (PEGs) are successfully prepared by the transesterification of alkyl halo‐esters with PEGs using Candida antarctica lipase B (CALB) as a biocatalyst under the solventless conditions. Transesterifications of chlorine, bromine, and iodine esters with tetraethylene glycol monobenzyl ether (BzTEG) are quantitative in less than 2.5 h. The transesterification of halo‐esters with PEGs are complete in 4 h. ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy with MALDI‐ToF and ESI mass spectrometry confirm the structure and purity of the products. This method provides a convenient and “green” process to effectively produce halo‐ester PEGs.

     

Capillary electrophoretic determination of sulfite using the zone-passing technique of in-capillary derivatization.

A new capillary electrophoretic (CE) method was developed for the simple and selective determination of sulfite. The proposed method is based on the in-capillary derivatization of sulfite with iodine using the zone-passing technique and direct UV detection of iodide formed. The optimal conditions for the separation and derivatization reaction were established by varying concentration of iodine, electrolyte pH and applied voltage. The optimised separations were carried out in 20 mmol l(-1) Tris-HCl electrolyte (pH 8.5) using direct UV detection at 214 nm. Experimental results showed that the injection of the iodine zone from anodic end of the capillary gives significantly better precision. Common UV absorbing anions such as Br-, l-, S2O3(2-), NO3-, NO2-, SCN- did not give any interferences. Valid calibration (r2=0.998) is demonstrated in the range 1 x 10(-5) - 8 x 10(-4) mol l(-1) of sulfite. The detection limit (SIN=3) was 2 x 10(-6) mol l(-1). The proposed system was applied to the determination of free sulfite in wines. The recovery tests established for wine samples were within the range 92-103%. The CE results were compared with those obtained by iodometric titration technique.     

Quenching of I(2P1/2) by NO2, N2O4, and N2O

Quenching of excited iodine atoms (I(5p5, 2P1/2)) by nitrogen oxides are processes of relevance to discharge-driven oxygen iodine lasers. Rate constants at ambient and elevated temperatures (293-380 K) for quenching of I(2P1/2) atoms by NO2, N2O4, and N2O have been measured using time-resolved I(2P1/2) --> I(2P3/2) 1315 nm emission. The excited atoms were generated by pulsed laser photodissociation of CF3I at 248 nm. The rate constants for I(2P1/2) quenching by NO2 and N2O were found to be independent of temperature over the range examined with average values of (2.9 +/- 0.3) x 10(-15) and (1.4 +/- 0.1) x 10(-15) cm3 s(-1), respectively. The rate constant for quenching of I(2P1/2) by N2O4 was found to be (3.5 +/- 0.5) x 10(-13) cm3 s(-1) at ambient temperature.     

Fiber-optic sensor for iodine based on a covalently immobilized aminobenzanthrone Schiff base.

An aminobenzanthrone Schiff base has been synthesized as a new fluorescence carrier for the preparation of an optical chemical sensor for iodine. The response of the sensor is based on fluorescence quenching of the aminobenzanthrone Schiff base by iodine. The sensor shows a linear response toward iodine in the range of 1.0 x 10(-5) to 1.0 x 10(-3) mol l(-1), with a detection limit of 6.0 x 10(-6) mol l(-1) at pH 8.0. Leaching of the fluorophore from the membrane is effectively hindered by covalent immobilization, resulting in an enhanced sensor lifetime. In addition to satisfactory reproducibility and reversibility, the prepared sensor exhibits sufficient selectivity toward iodine with respect to other coexisting ions. The sensor has been applied to the determination of iodine in common salt samples.     

Spectrofluorimetric determination of both hydrogen peroxide and -O-O-H in polyethylene glycols (PEGs) using 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde thiosemicarbazon (HNT) as the substrate for horseradish peroxidase (HRP)

2-Hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde thiosemicarbazon (HNT) had been synthesized and used as a new kind of substrate for horseradish peroxidase (HRP) in spectrofluorimetric determination of hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)). The oxidation reaction of HNT with H(2)O(2) under the catalysis of HRP was studied in detail. The possible reaction mechanism was discussed. Under optimum experimental conditions, the oxidized product of HNT had excitation and emission maxima at 260 and 450 nm, respectively. The linear range of this method was 1.30 x 10(-9)-1.25 x 10(-5) mol l(-1) with a detection limit of 3.89 x 10(-10) mol l(-1). The effect of interferences, surfactants and organic solvents on the determination of H(2)O(2) had been investigated. A study to prove the existence of -O-O-H in PEGs was carried out. The proposed method was successfully applied to the determination of -O-O-H in polyethylene glycols.     

Determination of thiosulfate at the 10(-6) M level by its oxidation with iodine in an organic phase and spectrophometric measurement of triiodide

A highly sensitive method is proposed for the determination of thiosulfate based on the oxidation of aqueous thiosulfate (100 or 200 ml) by iodide in 4 ml of carbon tetrachloride. The excess of iodine was extracted into 8 ml of aqueous iodide solution as triiodide to be measured spectrophotometrically; the thiosulfate could therefore be indirectly highly concentrated and determined selectively. The side-reaction of thiosulfate in a large volume of solution with the hypoiodite formed from the iodine in carbon tetrachloride could be compensated for by adding a certain amount of extra thiosulfate. A linear calibration graph with a negative slope was obtained over the concentration ranges 1.1 x 10(-7)-1 x 10(-5) M (12 ppb-1.12 ppm) for 100 ml of thiosulfate solution and 6 x 10(-8) - 5 x 10(-6) M (6.7 ppb-0.56 ppm) for 200 ml of thiosulfate solution. The proposed method was successfully applied to the determination of various amounts of thiosulfate in hot-spring and lake-water samples.

Gold complexes with dithiothiophene ligands: a metal based on a neutral molecule

The gold complexes n-Bu4N[Au(alpha-tpdt)2] (5), n-Bu4N[Au(dtpdt)2] (4) and n-Bu4N[Au(tpdt)2] (6) based on new dithiothiophene ligands (alpha-tpdt= 2,3-thiophenedithiolate, dtpdt=2,3-dihydro-5,6-thiophenedithiolate and tpdt = 3,4-thiophenedithiolate) have been prepared and characterised. These gold(III) complexes are diamagnetic, but they can be oxidised with iodine to the paramagnetic compounds [Au(alpha-tpdt)2] (8), [Au(dtpdt)2] (7) and n-Bu4N[[Au(tpdt)2]n-2] (9), which were isolated as fine powders and which exhibit paramagnetic susceptibilities that are almost temperature independent with room temperature values of 2.5 x 10(-4), 2.0 x 10(-4) and 5 x 10(-4) emu x mol(-1), respectively. Interestingly, the neutral complex [Au(alpha-tpdt)2] (8) as a polycrystalline sample displays the properties of a metallic system with a room temperature electrical conductivity of 6 S x cm(-1) and a thermoelectric power of 5.5 microVK(-1); this is the first time that this metallic property has been observed in a molecular system based on a neutral species.     

Spectrophotometric and potentiometric determination of piroxicam and tenoxicam in pharmaceutical preparations

Two simple and accurate methods are described for the determination of piroxicam and tenoxicam in their pharmaceutical preparations. The spectrophotometric method involves the oxidation of these drugs with potassium iodate in acid medium with the liberation of iodine and subsequent extraction with cyclohexane followed by measuring the absorbance at lambda=522 nm. Beer's law is obeyed in the concentration range of 0.05-1.1 and 0.05-0.6 mg x ml(-1) for piroxicam and tenoxicam, respectively. The apparent molar absorptivities of the resulting coloured products are found to be 2.7 x 10(3) and 2.5 x 10(3) l mol(-1) x cm(-1), whereas Sandell sensitivities are 0.012 and 0.013 g x cm(-2) for piroxicam and tenoxicam, respectively. The potentiometric method involves the direct titration of both drugs with N-bromosuccinimide in acid medium and the end point is determined potentiometrically using platinum indicator electrode. Piroxicam and tenoxicam can be determined quantitatively in the concentration range of 0.33-3.37 and 0.33-4.08 mg x ml(-1) for tenoxicam and piroxicam, respectively. The standard deviation and relative standard deviation values are found to be ranged from 0.05-0.07 and 0.37-0.98% and 0.025-0.078 and 0.25-1.2% for tenoxicam and piroxicam, respectively. The two methods are accurate within +/-1.0%. Optimum conditions affecting both methods are studied. The proposed methods are applied for the determination of the drugs in pure form and in commercial pharmaceutical preparations.     

I(+1) transfer from diiodomalonic acid to malonic acid and a complete inhibition of the CO and CO2 evolution in the Briggs-Rauscher reaction by resorcinol

A recent report on an intense CO 2 and CO evolution in the Briggs-Rauscher (BR) reaction revealed that iodination of malonic acid (MA) is not the only important organic reaction in the classical BR oscillator. To disclose the source of the gas evolution, iodomalonic (IMA) and diiodomalonic (I2MA) acids were prepared by iodinating MA with nascent iodine in a semibatch reactor. The nascent iodine was generated by an iodide inflow into the reactor, which contained a mixture of MA and acidic iodate. Some CO2 and a minor CO production was observed during these iodinations. It was found that in an aqueous acidic medium the produced I2MA is not stable but decomposes slowly to diiodoacetic acid and CO2. The first-order rate constant of the I 2MA decarboxylation at 20 degrees C was found to be k1 = 9 x 10(-5) s(-1), which is rather close to the rate constant of the analogous decarboxylation of dibromomalonic acid under similar conditions (7 x 10(-5)s(-1)). From the rate of the CO2 evolution, the I2MA concentration can be calculated in a MA-IMA-I2MA mixture as only I2MA decarboxylates spontaneously but MA and IMA are stable. Following CO2 evolution rates, it was proven that I2MA can react with MA in the reversible reaction I2MA + MA <--> 2 IMA. The equilibrium constant of this reaction was calculated as K = 380 together with the rate constants of the forward k 2 = 6.2 x 10 (-2) M (-1)s(-1) and backward k-2 = 1.6 x 10(-4) M(-1)s(-1) reactions. The probable mechanism of the reaction is I(+1) transfer from I2MA to MA. The presence of I(+1) in a I2MA solution is demonstrated by its reduction with ascorbic acid. To estimate the fraction of CO2 coming from the decarboxylation of I2MA in an oscillatory BR reaction, the oscillations were inhibited by resorcinol. Unexpectedly, all CO2 and CO evolution was interrupted for more than one hour after injecting a small amount of resorcinol (10(-5) M initial concentration in the reactor). Finally, some implications of the newly found I(+1) transfer reactions and the surprisingly effective inhibition by resorcinol regarding the mechanism of the oscillatory BR reaction are discussed. The latter is explained by the ability of resorcinol to scavenge free radicals including iodine atoms without producing iodide ions.     

Spectrophotometric determination of iodine species in table salt and pharmaceutical preparations

A sensitive spectrophotometric method for the determination of iodine species like iodide, iodine, iodate and periodate is described. The method involves the oxidation of iodide to ICl(2)(-) in the presence of iodate and chloride in acidic medium. The formed ICl(2)(-) bleaches the dye methyl red. The decrease in the intensity of the colour of the dye is measured at 520 nm. Beer's law is obeyed in the concentration range 0-3.5 microg of iodide in an overall volume of 10 ml. The molar absorptivity of the colour system is 1.73 x 10(5) l mol(-1) cm(-1) with a correlation coefficient of -0.9997. The relative standard deviation is 3.6% (n=10) at 2 microg of iodide. The developed method can be applied to samples containing iodine, iodate and periodate by prereduction to iodide using Zn/H(+) or NH(2)NH(2)/H(+). The effect of interfering ions on the determination is described. The proposed method has been successfully applied for the determination of iodide and iodate in salt samples and iodine in pharmaceutical preparations.     

Analytical studies using iodine-luminol chemiluminescence

Trace amounts of substances have been related to iodine consumption monitored by chemiluminescence from the iodine-luminol system. Iodine titrations of sulphite and arsenic(III) have been carried out at levels of 1.0 x 10(-7) and 5.0 x 10(-8)M with a precision and error of better than 1% on a day-to-day basis. A calibrated standard of 1.8 ppm SO(2) in air was analysed with a precision of +/-1.2%, and an error of 0.9%. A rate method has been developed based on the reaction between iodine and penicillin G; a linear range from 10(-8) to 10(-7)M was found, the precision being +/-9%.     

Potentiometric and coulometric titration of 2-thiobarbituric acid

A new method for the determination of 2-thiobarbituric acid, using its reaction with iodine in an alkaline medium is presented. In the volumetric titration with potentiometric end-point detection, the determinability range is 10-400 micromol (1.4-58 mg). In coulometric titration using the biamperometric end-point detection, 0.1-20 micromol (1.4 x 10(-2)-2.9 mg) of 2-thiobarbituric acid was successfully determined.     

High-pressure Fourier transform micro-Raman spectroscopic investigation of diiodine-heterocyclic thioamide adducts

The pressure dependences of the Fourier transform micro-Raman spectra of four heterocyclic thioamides [[(bztzdtH)I2] x I2] (1) (bztzdtH = benzothiazole-2-thione), [(bztzdtH)I2] (2), [[(tzdtH)2I+] x I3- x 2I2] (3) (tzdtH = thiazoline-2-thione), and [[(bzimtH)I2]2 x I2 x 2H2O] (4) (bzimtH = benzimidazole-2-thione) have been studied between ambient pressure and 50 kbar. For 1, generation of I3- ions through disproportionation reactions is evident as the pressure is increased. There are empirical linear correlations between the frequency and (I-I) bond length and the applied pressure. The iodine adduct of thioamide 2 is more sensitive to pressure when compared to the 1 or 4 iodine adducts. This difference in behavior may be attributed to differences in crystal structures or to a lower I-I bond order. Monitoring of other vibrational transitions of the thiomide structure reveals several less important pressure dependences.     

Synthesis and Mossbauer spectroscopic studies of chemically oxidized ferrocenyl(phenyl)phosphines

The electrochemical potentials of Fc3-xPPhx, (1-3, x = 0-2) and (FcPPh)n (4) indicate that iodine should oxidize ferrocenyl(phenyl)phosphines. The molar conductivity of solutions of 1-3 increases sharply when the solutions are titrated with iodine, leveling off after the addition of > 2 equiv of oxidant, consistent with formation of 1:1 electrolytes. Diamagnetic salts 6-9 are observed upon addition of a benzene solution of iodine to a benzene solution of 1-4 at ambient temperature in ratios of I2/metallocene ranging from 1:1 to 2:1. Well-resolved 1H and 31P NMR spectra are obtained for 6-8. Absorptions assigned to the I3- anion dominate the UV-vis spectrum of 6-8, whereas characteristic absorptions for [Fc][I3] are absent. Mossbauer spectra of 7-9 reveal isomer shifts consistent with low-spin iron(II) in ferrocene derivatives rather than those in ferricenium ions. Small amounts of low-spin FeIII appear to be present in 6. Taken together, the results suggest that 6-9 are iodophosphonium salts and not ferricenium salts. Diferrocenyl(phenyl)phosphine oxide (5) reacts with iodine to produce a diamagnetic, dark solid 10. Low-spin FeII is observed at 77 and 293 K in the Mossbauer spectra of 10 with no evidence for oxidation of FeII to FeIII. Compound 10 is proposed to be a neutral complex between 5 and I2. Reactions between 5 and 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (DDQ) yield [Fc2P(=O)][DDQ]2 (11). Mossbauer spectroscopy of 11 indicates the presence of a mixture of low-spin FeII and low-spin FeIII at 77 K, suggesting that some electron transfer occurs from 5 to DDQ. The fraction of low-spin FeIII increases at room temperature.

Spectrophotometric determination of selenium by use of thionin

A simple, rapid, and sensitive spectrophotometric method has been developed for the determination of selenium in real samples of water, soil, plant materials, human hair, and synthetic cosmetic and in pharmaceutical preparations. The method is based on the reaction of selenium with potassium iodide in an acidic medium to liberate iodine. The liberated iodine bleaches the violet color of thionin, and which is measured at 600 nm. This decrease in absorbance is directly proportional to selenium concentration and obeys Beer's law in the range 1-5 micro g selenium in a final volume of 10 mL (0.1-0.5 microg mL(-1)). The molar absorptivity and Sandell's sensitivity of the method were found to be 7.33 x 10(4) L mol(-1) cm(-1) and 0.0011 microg cm(-2), respectively. The optimum reaction conditions and other analytical conditions were evaluated. The effect of interfering ions on the determination is described.     

On the photochemistry of IONO2: absorption cross section (240-370 nm) and photolysis product yields at 248 nm

The absolute absorption cross section of IONO(2) was measured by the pulsed photolysis at 193 nm of a NO(2)/CF(3)I mixture, followed by time-resolved Fourier transform spectroscopy in the near-UV. The resulting cross section at a temperature of 296 K over the wavelength range from 240 to 370 nm is given by log(10)(sigma(IONO(2))/cm(2) molecule(-1)) = 170.4 - 3.773 lambda + 2.965 x 10(-2)lambda(2)- 1.139 x 10(-4)lambda(3) + 2.144 x 10(-7)lambda(4)- 1.587 x 10(-10)lambda(5), where lambda is in nm; the cross section, with 2sigma uncertainty, ranges from (6.5 +/- 1.9) x 10(-18) cm(2) at 240 nm to (5 +/- 3) x 10(-19) cm(2) at 350 nm, and is significantly lower than a previous measurement [J. C. M?ssinger, D. M. Rowley and R. A. Cox, Atmos. Chem. Phys., 2002, 2, 227]. The photolysis quantum yields for IO and NO(3) production at 248 nm were measured using laser induced fluorescence of IO at 445 nm, and cavity ring-down spectroscopy of NO(3) at 662 nm, yielding phi(IO) 相似文献
