Ion paired chromatography of iron (II,III), nickel (II) and copper (II) as their 4,7-Diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline chelates

A reversed phase ion-paired chromatographic method that can be used to determine trace amounts of iron (II,III), nickel (II) and copper (II) was developed and applied to the determination of iron (II) and iron (III) levels in natural water. The separation of these metal ions as their 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline (bathophenanthroline) chelates on an Inertsil ODS column was investigated by using acetonitrile-water (80/20, v/v) containing 0.06 M perchloric acid as mobile phase and diode array spectrophotometric detection at 250-650 nm. Chromatographic parameters such as composition of mobile phase and concentration of perchloric acid in mobile phase were optimized. The calibration graphs of iron (II), nickel (II) and copper (II) ions were linear (r > 0.991) in the concentration range 0-0.5, 0-2.0 and 0-4.0 mug ml(-1), respectively. The detection limit of iron (II), nickel (II) and copper (II) were 2.67, 5.42 and 18.2 ng ml(-1) with relative standard deviation (n = 5) of 3.11, 5.81 and 7.16% at a concentration level of 10 ng ml(-1) for iron (II) and nickel (II) and 25 ng ml(-1) for copper (II), respectively. The proposed method was applied to the determination of iron(II) and iron(III) in tap water and sea water samples without any interference from other common metal ions.     

Interaction of nickel with 4-(2'-benzothiazolylazo) salicylic acid (BTAS) and simultaneous first-derivative spectrophotometric determination of nickel(II) and iron(III)

The solution properties of nickel complex with 4-(2'-benzo-thiazolylazo) salicylic acid (BTAS) have been studied by zero-order absorption spectrophotometry in 40% (v/v) ethanol at 20 degrees C and an ionic strength of 0.1 mol dm(-3) (KNO(3)). The equilibria that exist in solution were established and the basic characteristics of complexes formed were determined. A new direct spectrophotometric method for the determination of trace amounts of the nickel is proposed based on the formation of the Ni (BTAS) complex at pH 7.0. The absorption maximum, molar absorbtivity, and Sandell's sensitivity of 1:1 (M:L) complex are 525 nm, 0.6 x 10(4) l mol(-1) cm(-1) and 2.824 x 10(-9) microg cm(-2), respectively. The use of first-derivative spectrophotometry eliminates the interference of iron and enables the simultaneous determination of nickel and iron using BTAS. Quantitative determination of Ni(II) and Fe(III) is possible in the range (0.59-7.08) and (2.1-8.4) microg ml(-1), respectively with a relative standard deviation of 0.5%. The proposed method has been successfully applied to the simultaneous spectrophotometric determination of nickel and iron in steel alloys and aluminum alloys.     

Flow injection analysis for oxidation state speciation of vanadium(IV) and vanadium(V) in natural water.

A sensitive and simultaneous spectrophotometric flow injection method for the determination of vanadium(IV) and vanadium(V) is proposed. The method is based on the effect of ligands such as 2,4,6-tris(2-pyridyl)-1,3,5-triazine (TPTZ) and diphosphate on the conditional redox potential of iron(III)/iron(II) system. A four-channel flow system is assembled. In this flow system, diluted hydrochloric acid (1.0 x 10(-2) mol dm(-3)) as a carrier for standard/sample, acetate buffer (pH 5.5) as a carrier for diphosphate solution, an equimolar mixed solution of iron(III) and iron(II) and a TPTZ solution are delivered, so that the baseline absorbance can be established by forming a constant amount of iron(II)-TPTZ complex (lambda(max) = 593 nm). Vanadium(IV) and/or vanadium(V) (400 microL) and diphosphate (200 microL) solutions are simultaneously introduced into the flow system; in this system the diphosphate solution passes through a delay coil. The potential of the iron(III)/iron(II) system increases in the presence of TPTZ, and therefore vanadium(IV) is easily oxidized by iron(III) to vanadium(V) to produce an iron(II)-TPTZ complex (a positive peak for vanadium(IV) appears). On the other hand, the potential of the redox system decreases in the presence of diphosphate, so that vanadium(V) can be easily reduced by iron(II) to vanadium(IV). In this case, the amount of iron(II) decreases according to the amount of vanadium(V). As a result, the produced iron(II)-TPTZ complex decreases (a negative peak for vanadium(V) appears). In this manner, two peaks for vanadium(IV) and vanadium(V) can be alternately obtained. The limits of detection (S/N = 3) are 1.98 x 10(-7) and 2.97 x 10(-7) mol dm(-3) for vanadium(IV) and vanadium(V), respectively. The method is applied to the simultaneous determination of vanadium(IV) and vanadium(V) in commercial bottled mineral water samples.     

Synthesis and characterization of iron(III), manganese(II), cobalt(II), nickel(II), copper(II) and zinc(II) complexes of salicylidene-N-anilinoacetohydrazone (H2L1) and 2-hydroxy-1-naphthylidene-N-anilinoacetohydrazone (H2L2)

Salicylidene-N-anilinoacetohydrazone (H(2)L(1)) and 2-hydroxy-1-naphthylidene-N-anilinoacetohydrazone (H(2)L(2)) and their iron(III), manganese(II), cobalt(II), nickel(II), copper(II) and zinc(II) complexes have been synthesized and characterized by IR, electronic spectra, molar conductivities, magnetic susceptibilities and ESR. Mononuclear complexes are formed with molar ratios of 1:1, 1:2 and 1:3 (M:L). The IR studies reveal various modes of chelation. The electronic absorption spectra and magnetic susceptibility measurements show that the iron(III), nickel(II) and cobalt(II) complexes of H(2)L(1) have octahedral geometry. While the cobalt(II) complexes of H(2)L(2) were separated as tetrahedral structure. The copper(II) complexes have square planar stereochemistry. The ESR parameters of the copper(II) complexes at room temperature were calculated. The g values for copper(II) complexes proved that the Cu-O and Cu-N bonds are of high covalency.     

Diformylhydrazine as analytical reagent for spectrophotometric determination of iron(II) and iron(III)

The bidentate ligand diformylhydrazine (OHC-HN-NH-CHO), DFH, combines with iron(II) and iron(III) in alkaline media in the pH range 7.3-9.3 to form an intensely colored red-purple iron(III) complex with an absorption maximum at 470 nm. Beer's law is obeyed for iron concentrations from 0.25 to 13 microg mL(-1). The molar absorptivity was in the range 0.3258x10(4)-0.3351x10(4) L mol(-1) cm(-1) and Sandell's sensitivity was found to be 0.0168 microg cm(-2). The method has been applied to the determination of iron in industrial waste, ground water, and pharmaceutical samples.     

Selective extraction of iron(III) from aqueous nitrate solution in the presence of cobalt(II), copper(II) and nickel(II) ions using bis(delta2-2-imidazolinyl)-5,5'-dioxime.

The feasibility of using bis(delta2-2-imidazolinyl)-5,5'-dioxime (H2L) for the selective extraction of iron(III) from aqueous solutions was investigated by employing an solvent-extraction technique. The extraction of iron(III) from an aqueous nitrate solution in the presence of metal ions, such as cobalt(II), copper(II) and nickel(II), was carried out using H2L in binary and multicomponent mixtures. Iron(III) extraction has been studied as a function of the pH, equilibrium time and extractant concentration. From the extracted complex species in the organic phase, iron(III) was stripped with 2 M HNO3, and later determined using atomic-absorption spectrometry. The extraction was found to significantly depend on the aqueous solution pH. The extraction of iron(III) with H2L increases with the pH value, reaching a maximum in the zone of pH 2.0, remaining constant between 2 and 3.5 and subsequently decreasing. The quantitative extraction of iron(III) with 5 x 10(-30 M H2L in toluene is observed at pH 2.0. H2L was found to react with iron(III) to form ligand complex having a composition of 1:2 (Fe:H2L).     

Iron(II), cobalt(III), nickel(II) and copper(II) chelates of furan and thiophene azo-oximes

Summary Complexes of furan and thiophene azo-oximes with iron(II), cobalt(III), nickel(II) and copper(II) have been prepared and characterised. Iron(II), cobalt(III) and copper(II) complexes are diamagnetic in the solid state. The diamagnetism of the copper(II) chelates is suggestive of antiferromagnetic interaction between two copper centres.¹H n.m.r. spectral data suggest atrans-octahedral geometry for the tris-chelates of cobalt(III). Nickel(II) complexes are paramagnetic, in contrast to the diamagnetism of the analogous complexes of arylazooximes. The electronic spectra are suggestive of octahedral geometry for the iron(II), cobalt(III) and nickel(II) complexes, andD _4h -symmetry for copper(II). Infrared data indicate N-bonding of the oximino-group to the metal ions.     

Speciation of Co(II), Co(III), and Cu(II) in ethylenediamine solutions by capillary electrophoresis

A capillary electrophoretic (CE) method for the speciation of Co(II), Co(III), and Cu(II) in electroless copper-plating baths containing ethylenediamine (En) has been developed. The method is based on the selective pre-capillary derivatization of Co(II) with 1,10-phenanthroline (Phen) followed by CE separation of stable [CoPhen(3)](2+), [CoEn(3)](3+), and [CuEn(2)](2+) chelates. The proposed derivatization procedure protects Co(II) from oxidation by dissolved oxygen and enables rapid determination of all three metal species within a single run. The optimized separations were carried out in a fused silica capillary (57 cmx75-microm I.D.) filled with an ethylenediamine sulfate electrolyte (20 mmol L(-1) H(2)SO(4), pH 7.0 with En, applied voltage +30 kV) using direct UV detection at 214 nm. The detection limits for a signal-to-noise ratio of 3 and 10 s, hydrodynamic injections were 5x10(-6) mol L(-1) for Cu(II), 1x10(-6) mol L(-1) for Co(III), and 4x10(-7) mol L(-1) for Co(II). Application of the method to the speciation of Co(II), Co(III), and Cu(II) in copper-plating bath samples is also demonstrated.     

Separation and determination of trace amounts of beryllium(II), aluminium(III) and chromium(III) with chromotrope 2C chelates by RP-HPLC

A reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic separation and determination of beryllium(II), aluminium(III) and chromium(III) with chromotrope 2C chelates on a C18-bonded stationary phase is reported. Methanol-water (45:55 v/v) containing 6 x 10(-3)M tetra-n-butylammonium bromide (TBAB) and 2 x 10(-2)M acetate buffer solution (pH 6.0) as mobile phase and with spectrophotometric detection at 530 nm was applied. The method has high sensitivity, the detection limits being 0.2 ppb for beryllium(I), 1 ppb for aluminium(III) and 2 ppb for chromium(III). Under the optimum conditions, most other metal ions did not interfere, e.g. up to 2 mg of Hg(II), Sn(II, IV), Pb(II), Bi(III), Ag(I), Zn(II), Cd(II), Cu(II), 1.5 mg of Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II), 1.2 mg of Ca(II), Mg(II), Sr(II), Ba(II), 1 mg of Ga(III), In(III), 0.5 mg of Fe(III), 1 mg of Ga(III), In(III), 0.5 mg of Fe(III), 0.4 mg of Th(IV), Zr(IV). The method can be applied to the simultaneous determination of trace amounts of beryllium(II), aluminium(III) and chromium(III), in water, rice, flour and human hair samples.     

Sequential flow-injection spectrophotometric determination of iron(II) and iron(III) by copper(II)-catalyzed reaction with Tiron

A flow injection method for the sequential determination of iron(II) and iron(III) was developed. It is based on the differential reaction kinetics of iron(II) and iron(III) with Tiron in a double-injection FI system. The proposed method employs the accelerating action of copper(II) for the oxidation of iron(II) in the presence of Tiron. A linear calibration graph is obtained for iron (II) and iron(III) in the concentration range 1.8 × 10^–5– 1.8 × 10^–4 mol/L; the throughput of samples is 30 injections/h.     

Complexing behaviour of D(+)-1,2-bis(4-phenyl-1,2,4-triazoline-5-thione-3-yl)ethylene glycol with iron(III), nickel(II), copper(II), zinc(II) and mercury(II)

Summary Complexes of iron(III), nickel(II), copper(II), zinc(II) and mercury(II) with D(+)-1,2-bis(4-phenyl-1,2,4-triazoline-5-thione-3-yl)ethylene glycol have been prepared and their structures proposed on the basis of spectral studies, magnetic measurements and elemental analyses.     

Sequential determination of nickel(II) and zirconium(IV) with dimethylglyoxime and arsenazo III after adsoprtion on one substrate disc

The possibility of the sequential determination of nickel with dimethylglyoxime and zirconium with arsenazo III from a single aliquot portion using polyacrylonitrile fiber as a solid phase impregnated with a KU-2 cation exchanger is studied. Conditions for the simultaneous adsorption of nickel and zirconium in the dynamic mode from 0.01 M HNO₃ are found as along with the ones for their sequential determination on one disc. The calibration functions are linear in the range 5–50 ng/mL, the detection limits for both elements are 2 ng/mL. In their simultaneous presence, the determination of nickel and zirconium is not affected by 10-fold weight amounts of Fe(III), Cu(II), Co(II), Al, Mn(II), Pb, Zn, Cd, Cr(VI), Mo(VI), and V(V). A method is proposed for determining nickel and zirconium from a single aliquot portion on a single substrate disc at their ratios from 1: 1 to a 5-fold excess of each element.     

Sensitivity and selectivity of the reaction of vanadium(V) with 4-(2-Pyridylazo)resorcinol on a solid support containing anion-exchange groups and modified with 8-hydroxyquinoline or 8-hydroxyquinoline-5-sulfonic acid

The effect of the modification of a solid support with 8-hydroxyquinoline (HQ) and 8-hydroxyquinoline-5-sulfonic acid (HQ-SFA) on analytical characteristics of the reaction of vanadium(V) with 4-(2-pyridylazo)resorcinol (PAR) on a solid phase was studied for polyacrylonitrile fiber filled with the AV-17 anion exchanger. Diffuse reflection spectra of the initial and modified supports and of vanadium(V) complexes of PAR on these supports were recorded. It was found that vanadium reacts with PAR on modified supports only in acid solutions. The conditions for the adsorption of vanadium and the dependences of the analytical signal on the acidity of the PAR solution and on the concentration of the modifier on the support were determined. The limits of vanadium detection by the reaction with PAR were calculated (0.5 and 1 ng/mL for AV-17-HQ and AV-17-HQ-SFA, respectively). The selectivity of the reaction of vanadium with PAR on modified supports was estimated with respect to copper, aluminum, iron(III), and zinc. It was found that the modification of the support with HQ and HQ-SFA impairs the analytical characteristics of the reaction of vanadium with PAR on the solid phase and that the use of modified supports for the color reaction of vanadium with PAR is inappropriat

Targeted oxidase reactivity with a new redox-active ligand incorporating N2O2 donor atoms. Complexes of Cu(II), Ni(II), Pd(II), Fe(III), and V(V)

The coordination chemistry of the tetradentate ligand N,N'-bis(2-hydroxy-3,5-di-tert-butylphenyl)-2,2'-diaminobiphenyl H(4)L has been studied with the copper(II), nickel(II), palladium(II), iron(III), and vanadium(V) ions. The ligand is non-innocent in the sense that it is readily oxidized in the presence of air to its o-iminobenzosemiquinonato (L(**))(2-) radical form. The crystal structures of the diradical compounds, [Cu(II)(L(**))] 1, [Ni(II)(L(**))] 2, [Pd(II)(L(**))] 3, the monoradical high-spin compound [Fe(III)(HL(*))Cl] 4, and the di(mu-methoxo)divanadium(V) compound [L(2)V(2)(mu-OCH(3))(2)] 5 without a radical have been determined by X-ray crystallography at 100 K. The biphenyl backbone of the ligand induces a tetrahedral distortion of the metal(II) geometry in 1, 2, and 3 having a N(2)O(2) coordination environment. The dihedral angles between the metal planes are 35.5 degrees for 1, 30.8 degrees for 2, and 22.2 degrees for 3. Variable-temperature (2-290 K) magnetic susceptibility measurements together with Mossbauer and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy establish the electronic structures of the complexes. Electrochemical cyclic voltammetric measurements indicate four one-electron reversible redox processes of the ligand for 1, 2, and 3. Complex 1 is found to catalyze the aerial oxidation of benzylalcohol to benzaldehyde, thus modeling the catalytic function of the copper-containing enzyme Galactose Oxidase (GO). Kinetic measurements in conjunction with EPR and UV-vis spectroscopic studies have been used to decipher the catalytic oxidation process. A ligand-derived redox activity has been proposed as a mechanism in which complex 1 disproportionates in a basic medium to generate the catalytically active species. An "on-off" mechanism of the radicals without apparent participation of the metal center is invoked for the catalytic process, whose intimate mechanism thus differs from that of the enzyme Galactose Oxidase.     

Titrimetric determination of U(iv) alone and in mixtures with V(IV), Mn(II), Ce(III) and Fe(II)

Summary A rapid and accurate method is described for the potentiometric determination of uranium(IV) with permanganate at room temperature using trace amounts of ortho-phosphoric acid as a catalyst. The procedure has been extended for the differential potentiometric determination of mixtures with vanadium, manganese or cerium. The methods are easy, non-time consuming and free from interference by a large number of foreign ions. Conditions are also developed for the differential photometric determination of uranium and iron in mixtures.Based on these procedures, a differential titrimetric procedure has been developed for determination of iron(III), vanadium(V), chromium(VI) and manganese(VII) [or cerium(IV)] in a single solution at room temperature. This procedure has also been tested on Bureau of Standard samples.

Determination of Nb(V), V(V), Co(II), Fe(III), Ni(II), Ru(III) and Pd(II) as their 4-(5-nitro-2-pyridylazo) resorcinol chelates by reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography

This paper reports the separation and determination of Nb(V), V(V), Co(II), Fe(III), Ni(II), Ru(III) and Pd(II) by reversed-phase HPLC using the new reagent, 4-(5-nitro-2-pyridylazo) resorcinol (5-NO₂-PAR) as a precolumn derivatization reagent. On a C₁₈ column, the seven metal chelates can be separated quantitatively with methanol/water (5248, v/v) containing 15 mmol/l pH 5.0 acetate buffer and 10 mmol/l tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBA·Br). The detection limits for Nb(V), V(V), Co(II), Fe(III), Ni(II), Ru(III) and Pd(II) are 0.65 ppb, 0.94 ppb, 0.10 ppb, 0.15 ppb, 0.18 ppb, 3.02 ppb and 2.35 ppb, respectively when the ratio of signal to noise (S/N) is 3.

Solution state and complexing ability of 1,4-bis(amidomethylsulfinyl)butane toward iron(III), copper(II), cobalt(II), nickel(II), and manganese(II)

The solution state and thermodynamic stability of complexes of the new antituberculosis agent 1,4-bis(amidomethylsulfinyl)butane (L) with iron(III), copper(II), cobalt(II), nickel(II), and manganese(II) in an aqueous solution in the presence and in the absence of the nonionic surfactant Brij 35 were studied by spectrophotometry, pH potentiometry, NMR relaxation technique (T = 25 °C; variable ionic strength), and mathematical simulation. The geometry optimization of all structures was carried out by the molecular mechanics method MM2 in order to obtain data on coordination modes. In addition, the structure of 1,4-bis(amidomethylsulfinyl)butane was refined by the DFT/B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) quantum chemical method using the IEFPCM model to take into account solvent effects. In an aqueous solution (in the concentration range of 1.3?10^–5—1?10^–3 mol L–1) and in the presence of Brij 35, 1,4-bis(amidomethylsulfinyl)butane exists as a neutral monomer. The Beer—Lambert—Bouguer law is obeyed in a wide concentration range for compound L in an aqueous solution, as well as in the presence of the surfactant, which can be used for the quantification of compound L. Iron(III), cobalt(II), and nickel(II) were shown to form 1: 1 mononuclear complexes with L; and copper(II) forms, 1: 1 and 2: 2 complexes. The presence of Brij 35 in the Cu²⁺—L system at a micellar concentration promotes the formation of a dinuclear complex.     

n-arylhydroxamic acids as reagents for vanadium(v) : Spectrophotometric determination of vanadium(v) with n-m-tolyl-p-methoxybenzohydroxamic acid

A study of the coloured complexes of 51 N-arylhydroxamic acids with vanadium(V) in hydrochloric acid media is described. The absorption spectra of the coloured chloroform extracts and the molar absorptivities are compared. The effects of different substituents attached to the carbon and nitrogen atom of the hydroxamic acid functional group are discussed. A rapid extraction-spectrophotometric method for the determination of vanadium(V) is described, employing the most promising of these reagents, N-m-tolyl-p-methoxybenzohydroxamic acid. The method is highly selective and tolerates large amounts of diverse ions usually associated with vanadium-bearing materials including iron(III), aluminium(III), chromium(III), nickel(II), cobalt(II), zinc(II) and manganese(II).     

Reversed-phase ion-pair high performance liquid chromatographic determination of Co(III)-, Ni(II)-, V(V)- and Fe(III)-2-(2-benzothiazolylazo)-5-(3-sulforpropyl)aminophenol chelates

The separation and determination of Co(III), Ni(II), V(V) and Fe(III) chelates with 2-(2-benzothiazolylazo)-5-(3-sulfopropyl)aminophenol (BTASPAP) by reversed-phase ion-pair HPLC was investigated. In the presence of the oxidant potassium iodate, BTASPAP reacts with Co(III), Ni(II), V(V) and Fe(III) to form stable, negatively charged, water-soluble chelates. The chelates were separated on a C(18) siloxane bonded phase and eluted within 7 min with acetonitrile-acetate-water (36:1:63 v/v) containing 0.2 mol 1(-1) acetic acid-sodium acetate buffer (pH 3.0) and 1.0 mmol 1(-1) tetrabutylammonium bromide. The detection limits of Co(III), Ni(II), V(V) and Fe(III) at 565 nm are 0.3, 0.8, 0.3 and 1.0 ng (signal-to-noise ratio = 2), respectively. The method was applied to the determination of Co, Ni, V and Fe in four samples of standard alloys.
