The proton-ligand formation constant of 2-(2-lepidylazo)-N-methylisatin (LAMI) and metal-ligand formation constants of its complexes with lanthanons(III) have been determined potentiometrically at different ionic strengths (0.02, 0.05, 0.1 and 0.15M NaClO₄) in 75% aqueous dioxan medium. The method ofBjerrum andCalvin, as modified byIrving andRossotti, has been used to find values of andpL. The stability constants and the values ofS _min have been calculated. The formation constants log _n for the complexes have been found to increase with the increase in atomic number of the lanthanon. The order was found to be: La<Pr<Nd<Sm<Y<Tb<Dy<Ho.

Extraction-spectrophotometric determination of iron with 2-(2′-benzothiazolylazo)-4,6-dimethylphenol

An extraction-spectrophotometric method for the determination of trace amounts of iron based on its extraction into chloroform with 2-(2-benzothiazolylazo)-4,6-dimethylphenol (BTADMP) from a pH 6.5 medium has been developed. The extracted 12 FeBTADMP complex species allow the determination of 4–30gmg of iron (=3.92×10⁴1·mol^–1·cm^–1 at 790 nm). The method is highly selective and has been applied to the determination of iron in polymineral-polyvitamin pharmaceutical products.

2-(α-Pyridyl)-thioquinaldinamide (PTQA)-A novel fluorimetric reagent in inorganic trace analysis. I: The nonextractive,nonquenching fluorescent method for the determination of chromium(VI)

A direct fluorimetric method for determining Cr(VI) in aqueous solutions is described. The nonfluorescent reagent 2-(-pyridyl)-thioquinaldinamide (PTQA) and Cr(VI) interact to produce an intensely fluorescent species [_ex(max) 360 nm; _em(max) 500 nm] showing constant and maximum fluorescence intensity in slightly acidic media (0.18N–1.08N H₂SO₄). The fluorescence attains its maximum value within 5 min and remains unchanged for 24 h. The system obeys Beer's law from 2 ng/ml to 0.8 g/ml of Cr(VI). Over sixty cations, anions and complexing agents are without any effect on the fluorimetric determination of 0.1 g/ml of Cr(VI). The method has been tested with synthetic mixtures, steels, solutions containing both Cr(III) and Cr(VI), and environmental samples.

Polymorphism of Inclusion Complexes and Unsolvated Hosts. IV. Dimorphism of the Acetone Host–Guest Complex of Dianilinegossypol. Structures of the α- and β-Phase Complexes

Crystal structures of the - and -phase inclusion complexes of dianilinegossypol with acetone obtained at 20° and 30 °C, respectively, have been determined by X-ray structure analysis. Crystal data of the -phase complex are: C₄₂H₄₀O₆N₂2C₃H₆O, orthorhombic, space group Pccn, a = 29.501(9), b = 10.866(2), c = 13.756(3) Å, V = 4409(1) ų, Z = 4, D _x = 1.18 g cm^-3. The structure has been refined to a final R value of 0.117 for 1401 observed reflections. The host–guest ratio for the -phase complex is the same (1 : 2) and the crystals are monoclinic, space group C2/c, a = 28.352(6), b = 11.836(2), c = 13.196(1) Å, = 93.05(1)°, V = 4422(2) Å3, Z = 4, D _x =1.18 g cm^-3. The structure has been refined to a final R value of 0.077 for 1414 observed reflections.In both phases molecules of dianilinegossypol form hydrogen-bondedribbons by O(4)–-HO(3) H-bonds. Phases are determined by the same structural motif. In the -phase complex the cages are in the form of prisms but in the -phase clathrate they undergo a modification by shrinking in two directions and widening in one. Molecules of acetone are hydrogen bonded to the host molecules via aO(1)–-HO(G) bond and are accommodated in cavities for both complexes, i.e. both phases are cryptate-type inclusion complexes.Supplementary data relevant to this publicationhave been deposited with the British Library,No. SUP 82227 (24 pages).

Asymmetric michael addition of aromatic thiols to 2-cyclohexenone and maleic acid esters via formation of crystalline cyclodextrin complexes

The asymmetric Michael addition of aromatic thiols to 2-cyclohexenone and maleic acid esters has been carried out by utilizing their crystalline cyclodextrin complexes suspended in water. The best chiral induction, 30% enantiomeric excess (ee), was achieved in combinations of 2-cyclohexenone and octyl maleate with the crystalline -cyclodextrin complex of benzenethiol (method A) to afford (S)-3-phenylthiocyclohexanone and (S)-octyl-2-phenylthiosuccinate, respectively, whereas the reaction of benzenethiol with 2-cyclohexenone included in -cyclodextrin (method B) inversely induced the chiral recognition to give the (R)-adduct with 4–9% ee.     

Molecular Rectangle Formed by Head-to-tail Self-Assembly of 1-(Dipyrrin-2-yl)-1-(dipyrrin-3-yl)methane

Summary. 1-(Dipyrrin-2-yl)-1-(dipyrrin-3-yl)methane, the N-confused analog of biladiene-ac, is prepared by condensation of 2,3-dipyrromethane with two molecules of 2-formylpyrrole in dichloromethane in the presence of hydrogen bromide. Self-assembly of the ligand with Zn(II) in dichloromethane and methanol offers a dinuclear dimeric complex with a ligand:metal ratio of 2:2. X-Ray crystal structure analysis reveals two ligands bound through a head-to-tail pattern to two zinc centers to form a severely distorted helical conformation, which has the shape of a rectangle.
