Anion-exchange TLC of rhodium(III) and iridium(III,IV) on DEAE-cellulose or ECTEOLA-cellulose

Summary The TLC behaviour and separation of Rh(III), Ir(III) and Ir(IV) has been investigated in the two systems composed of DEAE-cellulose or ECTEOLA-cellulose using 3 M or 5 M HCl containing NaClO₃ as solvent. These systems, especially in combination with a sample treatment with LiCl, HCl and H₂O₂ solutions, allow the clean-cut separations of Rh(III) from Ir(III) as well as Ir(IV), coexisting in an extremely wide range of amounts and ratios (RhIr=1500 to 2001). A brief discussion on the characteristic adsorption behaviour of Rh(III), dependent on the previous history of the sample solutions, is also included.

Anionenaustausch-Dünnschicht-Chromatographie von Rhodium(III) und Iridium(III, IV) auf DEAE- oder ECTEOLA-Cellulose

Zusammenfassung Zur dünnschicht-chromatographischen Trennung von Rh und Ir wurden DEAE- bzw. ECTEOLA-Cellulose mit 3 M bzw. 5 M NaClO₃-haltiger Salzsäure als Lösungsmittel benutzt. Besonders in Verbindung mit einer Probevorbehandlung mit LiCl, HCl und H₂O₂ konnten mit diesen Systemen scharfe Trennungen von Rh(III), Ir(III) und Ir(IV) in einem weiten Konzentrationsbereich erzielt werden (RhIr=1500 bis 2001). Das Adsorptionsverhalten des Rh(III) in Abhängigkeit von der Vorbehandlung der Probelösung wird diskutiert.

     

Anion-exchange separation of rhodium and iridium by ECTEOLA-cellulose column

Summary The separation of Rh(III) and Ir(IV) in amounts of 20–5300 and 20–7700 g, respectively, and in ratios of RhIr=1100 to 1001 was achieved without cross-contamination by use of a 3 g ECTEOLA-cellulose column. Rh was first eluted with 40 ml of a 3 mol/l HCl-1% (w/v) NaClO₃ solution. Ir(IV) was desorbed with 60 ml of a 6 mol/l HCl-0.1% (w/v) NaClO₃ solution. Quantitative recoveries were obtained for each metal. The present method provides much better resolution than the other existing anion-exchange methods and can effectively be applied to the separations and recoveries of Rh and Ir(III or IV) present in a more extensive range of amounts and ratios.

Thin-layer chromatographic separation of noble metals on ECTEOLA-cellulose in hydrochloric acid and aqueous chloride solutions

Summary The thin-layer chromatographic behaviour of the noble metals on ECTEOLA-cellulose has been examined in HCl and aqueous chloride solutions of Li, Na, Mg, Ca, Sr and Al. The R_f-values decrease in the order Ir(III) Rh(III) > Ru(III) > Pd(II) > Pt(IV) > Ir(IV) > Au(III) in all of the media of higher chloride concentrations (3M to 5M), in which there are sufficiently large differences in R_f-values of adjacent metals to resolve them clearly. Especially, the HCl solutions with or without H₂O₂ are very suitable for multi-component separations of the noble metals.

Magnetische Untersuchungen an Komplexen von La(III), Pr(III) und Nd(III) mitSchiffschen Basen

Specific magnetic susceptibilities (_s) of several newly synthesized chelates of some of the lanthanons [La(III), Pr(III) and Nd(III)] are reported. These derivatives are of the general type,Ln(O-i-C₃H₇)_3–n (C₆H₅CHNRO) _n [where,Ln=La(III), Pr(III) or Nd(III);n=1 or 2 and R=CH₂CH₂, CH₂CHCH₃ or C₆H₄] and have been prepared by the reaction of the alkoxides of the lanthanons withSchiff bases such as benzylidene-2-hydroxyethylamine (C₆H₅CHNCH₂CH₂OH), benzylidene-2-hydroxy-n-propylamine (C₆H₅CHNCH₂CHOHCH₃) and benzylidene-o-aminophenol (C₆H₅CHNC₆H₄OH) in different molar relations in dry benzene.The resulting crystalline derivatives are non-volatile, light to deep yellow or blackish in colour. These tend to polymerize on keeping as shown by their insoluble nature and higher melting points, the polymerisation possibly occurring by the intermolecular coordination through oxygen atoms as reported earlier¹.UsingGouy method², the bis-isopropoxy mono-Schiff base and mono-isopropoxy bis-Schiff base complexes of La(III) have been shown to be diamagnetic, with _s values being in the range of –0.32 to –0.45×10^–6 and –0.39 to –0.55×10^–6 c.g.s. units at 305 K respectively.In the remaining derivatives, Pr(O-i-C₃H₇)_3–n (C₆H₅CH NRO) _n and Nd(O-i-C₃H₇)_3–n (C₆H₅CHNRO) _n (where,n=1 or 2 and R=CH₂CH₂, CH₂CHCH₃ or C₆H₄) the magnetic moment values range between 3.25 to 3.32 and 3.30 to 3.33 _B respectively indicating their paramagnetic nature.     

Extraction-spectrophotometric determination of iron(III) by means of quinaldic acid-N-oxide

Summary A simple and sensitive method for the determination of iron(III) is described. It is based on the extraction of the yellow-coloured complex of iron with quinaldic acid-N-oxide in chloroform. The absorption maximum is at 380 nm with molar absorptivity ₃₈₀=1.03 · 10⁴. Beer's Law is obeyed over the range 0.6–6 ppm iron with relative standard deviation of +-0.3% (Sandell sensitivity 0.005 g/ml/cm²). The absorbance of the reagent blank is however high with consequent occasional disturbances, which are avoided when measured at 395 nm; molar absorptivity ₃₉₅=7.4 · 10³; effective concentration range 3–8 ppm iron with relative standard deviation +-0.5% (Sandell sensitivity 0.008g/ml/cm²). A fairly large number of common ions do not interfere. Job's method of continuous variations and Asmus method indicate a iron-reagent ratio of 13. Heterogeneous formation constant is K _D =2 · 10⁸.

Zusammenfassung Die einfache und empfindliche Bestimmung beruht auf der Extraktion des gelben Komplexes von Eisen(III) mit Chinaldinsäure-N-oxid in Chloroform. Das Absorptionsmaximum liegt bei 380 nm mit dem molaren Extinktionskoeffizient ₃₈₀=1.03 · 10⁴. Das Beersche Gesetz gilt im Bereich 0,6–6 ppm Eisen. Die relative Standardabweichung beträgt+-0,3% (Sandell-Empfindlichkeit 0,005g/ml/cm²). Die Absorption der Blindprobe ist jedoch hoch und verursacht manchmal Störungen, die beim Messen bei 395 nm vermieden werden; molarer Extinktionskoeffizient ₃₉₅= 7,4 · 10³; im Konzentrationsbereich 3–8 ppm Eisen beträgt die relative Standardabweichung+-0,5% (Sandell-Empfindlichkeit 0,008g/ml/cm²). Eine ziemlich große Zahl von Fremdionen bewirkt keine Störung. Methoden nach Job und Asmus liefern ein Verhältnis Eisen/Reagens wie 13. Die heterogene Bildungskonstante beträgt K _D =2 · 10⁸.

     

Complex formation followed by internal electron transfer: The reaction between cysteine and iron(III)

Summary A kinetic study of the anaerobic oxidation of cysteine (H₂ L) by iron(III) has been performed over thepH-range 2.5 to 12 by use of a stopped-flow high speed spectrophotometric method. Reaction is always preceded by complex formation. Three such reactive complex species have been characterized spectrophotometrically: FeL ⁺ (_max=614 nm, =2 820 M^–1cm^–1); Fe(OH)L (_max=503 nm; shoulder at 575 nm, =1 640 M^–1cm^–1); Fe(OH)L ₂ ^2– (_max=545 nm; shoulder at 445 nm, =3 175 M^–1 cm^–1). Formation constants have been evaluated from the kinetic data: Fe³⁺+L ^2– FeL ⁺: logK ₁ ^M =13.70±0.05; Fe(OH)²⁺+L ^2– Fe(OH)L: logK ₁ ^MOH =10.75±0.02; Fe(OH)L+L ^2– Fe(OH)L ₂ ^2– ; logK ₂ ^MOH =4.76±0.02. Furthermore the hydrolysis constant for iron(III) was also obtained: Fe(OH)²⁺+H⁺ Fe _aq ³⁺ : logK ^FeOH=2.82±0.02). Formation of the mono-cysteine complexes, FeL ⁺ and Fe(OH)L, is via initial reaction of Fe(OH)²⁺ with H₂ L (k=1.14·10⁴M^–1s^–1), the final product depending on thepH. FeL ⁺ (blue) formed at lowpH decomposes following protonation with a second-order rate constant of 1.08·10⁵M^–1s^–1. Fe(OH)L (purple) decomposes with an apparent third order rate constant ofk=3.52·10⁹M^–2s^–1 via 2 Fe(OH)L+H⁺ products, which implies that the actual (bimolecular) reaction involves initial dimer formation. Finally, Fe(OH)L ₂ ^2– (purple) is remarkably stable and requires the presence of Fe(OH)L for electron transfer. A rate constant of 8.36·10³M^–1s^–1 for the reaction between Fe(OH)L and Fe(OH)L ₂ ^2– is evaluated.Dedicated to Prof. Dr. mult. Viktor Gutmann on the occasion of his 70th birthday     

Mechanistic and Spectral Studies of the Ruthenium(III) Catalysed Oxidation of Sulfanilic Acid by Alkaline Hexacyanoferrate(III)

Summary. The kinetics of ruthenium(III) catalysed oxidation of sulfanilic acid (p-aminobenzenesulfonic acid) by hexacyanoferrate(III) in alkaline medium at a constant ionic strength of 2.5mol·dm^–3 has been studied spectrophotometrically using a rapid kinetic accessory. The reaction exhibits 2:8 stoichiometry (SNA:HCF(III)). The reaction showed first order kinetics in [hexacyanoferrate(III)] and [ruthenium(III)] and apparent less than unit order in both sulfanilic acid and alkali concentrations. The reaction rate increases with increasing ionic strength but the relative permittivity (_T) of the medium has a negligible effect on the rate of the reaction. Initial addition of reaction products did not affect the rate significantly. A mechanism involving the formation of a complex between sulfanilic acid and hydroxylated species of ruthenium(III) has been proposed. The active species of HCF(III) and ruthenium(III) are understood as [Fe(CN)₆^3–] and [Ru(H₂O)₅OH]²⁺, respectively. The main products were identified by IR, NMR, and mass spectral studies. The reaction constants involved in the different steps of mechanism are calculated. The activation parameters with respect to the slow step of the mechanism are computed and discussed and thermodynamic quantities are also calculated.     

The unusual morphological structure of the aging products of coprecipitated Fe(III)-Al(III) hydroxides

Aluminum-substituted hematite ( ^*-Fe₂O₃) with an unusual morphological structure is formed upon the aging of coprecipitated Fe(III)-Al(III) hydroxides with excess Fe(III). The crystals of this hematite are found in separate layers and includes seams of an aluminum-containing phase. In samples with excess Al(III) content, the ^*-Fe₂O₃ crystals are found as seams in mixed aggregates of boehmite and ^*-Fe₂O₃.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 4, pp. 931–933, April, 1990.     

Quantitative electron-probe microanalysis of light elements: Determination ofa-Si∶C∶N∶O∶H insulating films

Amorphous SiCNOH films (1–3 m) are studied by EPMA after deposition of gold (1–5 nm) as a conductive coating. Its influence on thek-ratios (X-ray intensity relative to an uncoated standard) of silicon, carbon, nitrogen and oxygen is described as a linear function of the simultaneously determinedk-ratio of gold. Thek-ratios representing the uncoated specimen are obtained by extrapolation and, in combination with the PAP matrix correction model, quantitative EPMA can be performed with an analytical error of 2–5%, as it is demonstrated by samples of SiC, Si₃N₄ and SiO₂. No systematic shift of the concentrations is observed for layers ofa-SiCNOH determined at various electron energies of 5–12.5 keV. Hydrogen is calculated by difference and the concentrations prove to be a useful estimate in agreement with the results of chemical analysis. Si-K/Si-K spectra recorded on organo-silicon films and binary silicon compounds point out significant differences concerning the formation of Si-C, Si-N and Si-O chemical bonds.
