Extending the pore size of crystalline metal phosphonates toward the mesoporous regime by isoreticular synthesis

Crystalline microporous cobalt and nickel bisphosphonates with a hexagonal array of one-dimensional channels 1.8 nm in diameter have been prepared hydrothermally and provide the first example of the use of isoreticular chemistry in the synthesis of phosphonate metal-organic frameworks. The materials contain both physisorbed and coordinating water molecules in the as-prepared form, but these can be removed to give permanent extra-large microporosity, with pore volumes of up to 0.68 cm(3) g(-1), and coordinatively unsaturated sites, with concentrations up to 4.25 mmol g(-1).     

Columnar metallomesogens derived from unsymmetrical pyrazoles

The synthesis and mesomorphism for two series of unsymmetrical pyrazoles and their nickel(II) complexes were described. This is the first example of nickel complexes exhibiting columnar phase. The derivatives with two alkoxy chains exhibited smectic A or smectic C phases; however, all derivatives with four alkoxy chains formed hexagonal columnar phases. In contrast, all nickel(II) complexes 1a formed hexagonal columnar phases. The crystal and molecular structures of 1-(4-propyloxyphenyl)-2-(3-(4-propyloxyphenyl)-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)ethanone were determined, and it crystallizes in the triclinic space group P-1. The overall molecular shape is considered as rod-shaped. The pyrazole and one phenyl ring were coplanar, however, they were not coplanar with other phenyl ring by a dihedral angle of ca. 66.2°. A dimeric structure formed by an intermolecular H-bond (2.11 Å) and a weak π-π interaction (3.51 Å) was observed, which was probably attributed to the formation of the mesophase. The XRD experiments confirmed their structures of the mesophases.     

Design and synthesis of nitrogen-doped hexagonal NiCoO nanoplates derived from Ni-Co-MOF for high-performance electrochemical energy storage

In order to further improve the potential application of nickel-cobalt oxide (NiCoO) in supercapacitors, we use controlled calcination of different Ni-Co-MOF ([NiCo(HBTC)(4,4′-bipy)]) composites to obtain five kinds of nickel doped NiCoO (N-NiCoO) with different Ni/Co molar ratio. These N-NiCoO materials with unique hexagonal nanoplates structure, high specific surface area and high porosity indicate high and stable electrochemical activity. In particular, N-NiCoO-2 with a Ni/Co molar ratio of 2:1 exhibits the highest 945.79 F/g specific capacitance at 1 A/g and a high cycle stability of only 6.7% attenuation after 5000 cycles. Apart from the certain percentage of NiCoO with higher conductivity, nitrogen doping provides more reactive sites and the specific porous hexagonal nanoplates structure of the product itself accelerate electron transfer and promote electrolyte diffusion can more effectively enhance the electrochemical performance. Therefore, N-NiCoO synthesized via a simple method exhibit exciting potential and can be used as an electrode material for supercapacitors with good performance.     

Preparation of hexagonal nanoporous nickel hydroxide film and its application for electrochemical capacitor

Nanoporous nickel hydroxide film has been successfully electrodeposited on titanium substrate from nickel nitrate dissolved in the aqueous domains of the hexagonal lyotropic liquid crystalline phase of Brij 56. Low-angle X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and atomic force microscopy (AFM) studies show that the film has a regular nanostructure consisting of a hexagonal array of cylindrical pores with a repeat center-to-center spacing of about 7 nm. Preliminary electrochemical studies are carried out using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and chronopotentiometry technology. A maximum specific capacitance of 578 F g⁻¹ could be achieved for the nanoporous Ni(OH)₂ film electrode, suggesting its potential application in electrochemical capacitors.     

Separate determination of nickel, zinc, and cobalt 4-(2-thiazolylazo)resorcinates in a sorbent phase using chromaticity measurements

The optimum conditions for the preconcentration of nickel, zinc, cobalt, and copper on a Silochrom C-120 silica modified with 4-(2-thiazolylazo)resorcinol were found. Chromaticity characteristics of the metal chelates were determined. It was shown that nickel and zinc chelates meet the requirements of the separate determination. A method for the separate determination of 0.05-1 Μg/mL of nickel and 0.15-5 Μg/mL of zinc based on chromaticity measurements was proposed. Procedures for determining zinc, nickel, and cobalt in soils were developed.     

Some pyridylazo compounds as sensitive reagents for the spectrophotometric determination of nickel

Six 2-(2-pyridylazo)-5-alkoxyphenol derivatives were synthesized, and their application to the spectrophotometric determination of nickel was studied; 2-(2-pyridylazo)-5-methoxyphenol and the corresponding ethoxyphenol are very sensitive and selective. The molar absorptivity of the nickel chelate of the former is 11.3 × 10⁴ l mol^-1 cm^-1. A solvent extraction procedure for the selective determination of 1–8 μg of nickel is described.     

Synthesis, structure, spectroscopy and redox chemistry of square-planar nickel(II) complexes with tetradentate o-phenylenedioxamidates and related ligands

A series of four-coordinate square-planar nickel(II) complexes of o-phenylenebis(N'-methyloxamidate)(L1) and related o-phenylene(N'-methyloxamidate)oxamate (L2) and o-phenylenebis(oxamate)(L3) tetradentate ligands have been synthesized and characterized structurally, spectroscopically and electrochemically. The parent nickel(II)-L1 complex presents an intense MLCT band in the UV region (lambda max = 357 nm) and a distinctive 1 s --> 4p CT satellite in the Ni K-edge XANES spectrum (E = 8339.2 eV). These features together with the short Ni-N(amidate) bond lengths (1.85-1.93 A) as revealed by the analysis of the Ni K-edge EXAFS spectrum and confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction are typical of square-planar low spin (S = 0) Ni(II) ions. The dianionic nickel(II) complexes, [Ni(II)L(i)](2-)(i = -3), experience two redox processes in acetonitrile at 25 degrees C. The first redox process, at moderately low potentials (E1 = 0.12-0.52 V vs. SCE), is a reversible one-electron metal-centered oxidation to the corresponding monoanionic nickel(III) complexes, [Ni(III)L(i)]-. The second redox process, at relatively high potentials (E2 = 0.86-1.04 V vs. SCE), is a quasireversible to irreversible one-electron oxidation largely centered on the o-benzenediamidate fragment of the non-innocent ligand, yielding the corresponding neutral nickel(iii) complexes with a o-benzosemiquinonediimine pi-cation radical ligand, [Ni(III)(L(i))*+]. The singly and doubly oxidized species of the parent nickel(II)-L1 complex have been prepared by chemical oxidation and characterized spectroscopically in acetonitrile at -40 degrees C. The stable singly oxidized nickel(III)-L1 species presents an intense LMCT band in the NIR region (lambda max = 910 nm) and a rhombic X-band EPR spectrum (g1 = 2.193, g2 = 2.080 and g3 = 2.006) characteristic of square-planar low spin (S = 1/2) Ni(III) ions. The unstable double oxidized nickel(III)-L1 pi-cation radical species exhibits a rather intense visible band (lambda max = 645 nm) that is tentatively assigned as a MLCT transition from the Ni(III)-benzosemiquinone type ground state to the Ni(IV) excited state.     

Simultaneous Determination of Nickel and cobalt in Manganese Sulphate Electrolyte by DMGH2-Sensitized Differential Pulse Polarography

Abstract

A method is described for the simultaneous determination of nickel and cobalt in manganese sulphate electrolyte by the dimethylglyoxime (DMGH₂) sensitized differential pulse polarography. The high manganese sulphate background (1.2M) in the concentrated process plant electrolyte interferes only with the nickel determination and precludes its direct determination. A 50% v/v dilution and an excessive amount (2 × 10^?3M) of the chelating agent are required at pH7.7 for the reliable determination of both elements. Under these conditions, the linear concentration ranges are 0-110 μg/1 for nickel and 0-140 μg/1 for cobalt. The minimum detectable amounts above the levels present in the process plant electrolyte are 2 μg/1 and 1 μg/1 for both elements, respectively. The relative standard deviations for all measurements are between 1 and 3%.     

Electrochemical, catalytic and antimicrobial activity of N-functionalized tetraazamacrocyclic binuclear nickel(II) complexes

The five binuclear nickel(II) complexes have been synthesized by the Schiff base condensation of 1,8-[bis(3-formyl-2-hydroxy-5-methyl)benzyl]-l,4,8,11-tetraazacyclo-tetradecane (PC) with appropriate aliphatic diamines and nickel(II) perchlorate. All the five complexes were characterized by elemental and spectral analysis. The electronic spectra of the complexes show three d-d transition in the range of 550-1055 nm due to 3A2g→3T2g(F), 3A2g→3T1g(F) and 3A2g→3T1g(P). These spin allowed electronic transitions are characteristic of an octahedral Ni2+ center. Electrochemical studies of the complexes show two irreversible one electron reduction waves at cathodic region. The reduction potential of the complexes shifts towards anodically upon increasing the chain length of the macrocyclic ring. All the nickel(II) complexes show two irreversible one electron oxidation waves at anodic region. The oxidation potential of the complexes shift towards anodically upon increasing the chain length of the macrocyclic ring. The catalytic activities of the complexes were observed to be increase with increase the macrocyclic ring size. The observed rate constant values for the catalytic hydrolysis of 4-nitrophenyl phosphate are in the range of 5.85×10(-3) to 9.14×10(-3) min(-1). All the complexes were screened for antimicrobial activity.

Study of the solid phase extraction and spectrophotometric determination of nickel using 5-(4′-chlorophenylazo)-6-hydroxypyrimidine-2,4-dione in environmental samples

A rapid, sensitive and selective method for the determination of nickel based on the rapid reaction of nickel(II) with 5-(4′-chlorophenylazo)-6-hydroxypyrimidine-2,4-dione (CPAHPD) and the solid phase extraction of the Ni(II)–CPAHPD complex with C18 membrane disks has been developed. In the presence of pH 6.8 buffer solution and cetylpyridinium bromide (CPB) medium, CPAHPD reacts with nickel to form a red complex of a molar ratio of 1:1 (nickel to CPAHPD). This complex was enriched by solid phase extraction (SPE) with C18 membrane disks. An enrichment factor of 100 was obtained by elution of the complex from the disks with the minimal amount of isopentyl alcohol. The molar absorptivity and Sandell sensitivity of the complex was 3.11 × 10⁵ L mol^?1 cm^?1 and 0.0189 ng cm^?2, respectively at 549 nm in the measured solution. Beer's law was obeyed in the range of 0.01–0.37 μg mL^?1, while that obtained by Ringbom plot was in the range of 0.025–0.35 μg mL^?1. The detection and quantification limits were calculated and found to be 0.003 and 0.01 μg mL^?1. The proposed method was applied to the determination of nickel in water, food, biological and soil samples with good results.     

Nickel(II) complexes with tetra- and pentadentate aminopyridine ligands: synthesis, structure, electrochemistry, and reduction to nickel(I) species

A series of nickel(II) complexes with polydentate aminopyridine ligands N,N,N'-tris-[2-(2'-pyridyl)ethyl]ethane-1,2-diamine (L1), N,N,N'-tris-[2-(2'-pyridyl)ethyl]-N'-methylethane-1,2-diamine (L2), and N,N'-bis-[2-(2'-pyridyl)ethyl]-N,N'-dimethylethane-1,2-diamine (L3) were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis and spectroscopic methods. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies showed that the Ni(II) ions have five-coordinate square-pyramidal geometry in [NiL2](ClO(4))(2), similar to that previously found in [NiL1](ClO(4))(2) x CH(3)NO(2) (Hoskins, B. F.; Whillans, F. D.J. Chem. Soc., Dalton Trans. 1975, 657), and square-planar geometry in [NiL3](ClO(4))(2). All three nickel(II) complexes are reduced by sodium borohydride or sodium amalgam in organic solvents to nickel(I) species, which were identified by highly anisotropic EPR spectra at 100 K: g(1) = 2.239, g(2) = 2.199, and g(3) = 2.025 for [NiL1](+); g(axially) = 2.324 and g(radially) = 2.079 for [NiL2](+) and [NiL3](+). Cyclic voltammetry of the nickel(II) complexes in acetonitrile exhibited reversible reduction waves at -1.01 V for [NiL1](2+), -0.91 V for [NiL2](2+), and -0.83 V for [NiL3](2+) versus SCE, potentials which are significantly less negative than those of most previously characterized Ni(II) complexes with nitrogen-only donor atoms. Complexes [NiL1](2+) and [NiL2](2+) showed high catalytic activity in the electroreduction of 1,2-trans-dibromocyclohexane to cyclohexene.     

In-situ separation of the matrix for the direct determination of traces of chromium, cobalt, and nickel in titanium dioxide powder by electrothermal atomic-absorption spectrometry with slurry sampling

A novel method has been developed for the direct determination of traces of chromium, cobalt, and nickel in TiO2 powder; it entails slurry sampling and electrothermal atomic-absorption spectrometry (ETAAS) with a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) slurry (6% m/v) as fluorinating reagent. The factors which could affect the vaporization of the matrix and analytes were studied in detail; the fluorinating vaporization behavior of the analyte both in the slurry and in solution were also investigated. Owing to the in-situ separation of the matrix, the matrix influences were reduced significantly. The proposed method has been applied to the direct determination of traces of chromium, cobalt, and nickel in high-purity TiO2 powder without chemical pretreatment. Under the optimum experimental conditions the detection limits of the analytes (Cr, Co, and Ni) were 1.9 ng g(-1), 2.4 ng g(-1) and 5.4 ng g(-1), respectively, the relative standard deviations (RSD) were 3.4% (n=6, c=7.0 ng mL(-1)), 2.9% (n=6, c=0.70 ng mL(-1)), and 7.6% (n=6, c=4.0 ng mL(-1)), again respectively, and the characteristic masses for Cr, Co, and Ni were 8.4 pg/ 0.0044A, 9.3 pg/0.0044A, and 40.0 pg/0.0044A, respectively.     

Synthesis, structure, and redox properties of N-confused bis(porphyrinatonickel(II)) linked by o-xylene

In a reaction of 5,10,15,20-tetraaryl-2-aza-21-carbaporphyrinato nickel(II) 2 with alpha,alpha'-dibromo-o-xylene, three different complexes containing a xylene moiety were obtained in the presence of a proton scavenger. The products were characterized by mass spectrometry, UV-vis, NMR, and, in the case of the dimeric complex 3, X-ray crystallographic analysis (space group P, a =16.455(3) A, b = 16.776(3) A, c = 18.400(4) A, alpha = 77.43(3) degrees , beta = 75.31(3) degrees , gamma = 66.20(3) degrees , V = 4457.1(19) A3, Z = 2). The monomeric species, diamagnetic 4 and paramagnetic 5, contain one and two bromoxylene residues, respectively, while in 3, the xylene bridge links two macrocyclic subunits, involving their internal carbons (C21) coordinated to diamagnetic nickel(II). Cyclovoltammetric measurements for o-xylene-linked bis(carbaporphyrinoid) 3 indicate cooperative effects resulting from an interaction between the subunits despite the isolation of their aromatic pi-bond systems. An EPR-controlled titration of 3 with bromine allows consecutive detection of the mono- and bis-oxidized species (3Br, 3Br2). The spectral patterns and spin-Hamiltonian parameters indicate metal-centered oxidation in 3Br (gx = 2.358, gy = 2.150, gz = 2.062, A(Br)x = 15, A(Br)y = 35, A(Br)z = 129 G) and interaction of two electron spins of nickel(III) ions in 3Br2 (gx = 2.328, gy = 2.195, gz = 2.065, D = 0.0173 cm(-)1, E = -0.0018 cm(-1), A(Br)z = 63 G). A product of the chemical reduction of a protonated form of the dimer was also detected by means of EPR (g1 = 2.298, g2 = 2.218, g3 = 2.192), although no interaction between the nickel(I) centers can be observed for the reduced species.     

Nickel determination in saline matrices by ICP-AES after sorption on Amberlite XAD-2 loaded with PAN

In the present paper, a solid phase extraction system for separation and preconcentration of nickel (ng g⁻¹) in saline matrices is proposed. It is based on the adsorption of nickel(II) ions onto an Amberlite XAD-2 resin loaded with 1-(2-pyridylazo)-2-naphthol (PAN) reagent. Parameters such as the pH effect on the nickel extraction, the effect of flow rate and sample volume on the extraction, the sorption capacity of the loaded resin, the nickel desorption from the resin and the analytical characteristics of the procedure were studied. The results demonstrate that nickel(II) ions, in the concentration range 0.10–275 μg l⁻¹, and pH 6.0–11.5, contained in a sample volume of 25–250 ml, can be extracted by using 1 g Amberlite XAD-2 resin loaded with PAN reagent. The adsorbed nickel was eluted from the resin by using 5 ml 1 M hydrochloric acid solution. The extractor system has a sorption capacity of 1.87 μmol nickel per g of Amberlite XAD-2 resin loaded with PAN. The precision of the method, evaluated as the R.S.D. obtained after analyzing a series of seven replicates, was 3.9% for nickel in a concentration of 0.20 μg ml⁻¹. The proposed procedure was used for nickel determination in alkaline salts of analytical grade and table salt, using an inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy technique (ICP-AES). The standard addition technique was used and the recoveries obtained revealed that the proposed procedure shows good accuracy.     

Phase-selective synthesis of nickel phosphide in high-boiling solvent for all-solid-state lithium secondary batteries

Nickel phosphide particles were synthesized by thermal decomposition of a nickel precursor in a mixed solution of trioctylphosphine and trioctylphosphine oxide. The crystal phase and morphology of samples prepared by changing the solvents, the amount of trioctylphosphine as a phosphorus source, the reaction temperature, and the nickel precursor were characterized using X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. Spherical Ni(5)P(4) particles with diameters of 500 nm were obtained using nickel acetylacetonate as a nickel precursor at 360 °C for 1 h in trioctylphosphine oxide. NiP(2) particles with diameters of 200-500 nm were obtained using nickel acetate tetrahydrate at 360 °C for 5 h in trioctylphosphine oxide. All-solid-state cells were fabricated using NiP(2) particles as an active material and 80Li(2)S·20P(2)S(5) (mol %) glass-ceramic as a solid electrolyte. The Li-In/80Li(2)S·20P(2)S(5)/NiP(2) cell exhibited an initial discharge capacity of 1100 mAh g(-1) at a current density of 0.13 mA cm(-2) and retained a discharge capacity of 750 mAh g(-1) after 10 cycles.

Simultaneous spectrophotometric determination of cobalt,copper and nickel using 1-（2-thiazolylazo）-2-naphthol by chemometrics methods

The simultaneous determination of cobalt, copper and nickel using 1-（2-thiazolylazo）-2-naphthol （first figure of this article） by spectrophotometric method is a difficult problem in analytical chemistry, due to spectral interferences. By multivariate calibration methods, such as partial least squares （PLS） regression, it is possible to obtain a model adjusted to the concentration values of the mixtures used in the calibration range. Orthogonal signal correction （OSC） is a preprocessing technique used for removing the information unrelated to the target variables based on constrained principal component analysis. OSC is a suitable preprocessing method for PLS calibration of mixtures without loss of prediction capacity using spectrophotometric method. In this study, the calibration model is based on absorption spectra in the 550-750-nm range for 21 different mixtures of cobalt, copper and nickel. Calibration matrices were formed from samples containing 0.05-1.05, 0.05-1.30 and 0.05-0.80 μg·mL^-1 for cobalt, copper and nickel, respectively. The root mean square error of prediction （RMSEP） for cobalt, copper and nickel with OSC and without OSC were 0.007, 0.008, 0.011 and 0.031,0.037, 0.032 μg· mL^-1, respectively. This procedure allows the simultaneous determination of cobalt, copper and nickel in synthetic and real samples and good reliability of the determination was proved.
