The reaction of (octaphenyltetraazaporphyrinato)magnesium(II) with manganese(II) chloride in dimethylformamide gave (chloro)(octaphenyltetraazaporphyrinato)manganese(III). Reactions of the latter with nitrogen-containing bases were studied. The kinetic parameters of the transmetalation of (octaphenyltetraazaporphyrinato) magnesium(II) with MnCl₂ in dimethylformamide at 323, 333, and 343 K were determined, and a probable reaction mechanism was proposed.     

Thermal Analysis of Magnesium Tris(maleato) Ferrate(III) Dodecahydrate. Physico-chemical studies

Thermal analysis of magnesium tris(maleato) ferrate(III) dodecahydrate has been studied from ambient to 700°C in static air atmosphere employing TG, DTG, DTA, XRD, Mössbauer and infrared spectroscopic techniques. The precursor decomposes to iron(II) intermediate species along with magnesium maleate at 248°C. The iron(II) species then undergo oxidative decomposition to give α-Fe₂O₃ at 400°C. At higher temperatures magnesium maleate decomposes directly to magnesium oxide, MgO, which undergoes a solid state reaction with α-Fe₂O₃ to yield magnesium ferrite (MgFe₂O₄) at 600°C, a temperature much lower than for ceramic method. The results have been compared with those of the oxalate precursor.     

Synthesis of Bis(tricarbonylcyclopentadienylmolybdenum)bismuth(III) Chloride and Its Reaction with Metals

Polynuclear organometallic compounds [CpMo(CO)₃]₂BiCl and [CpMo(CO)₃]BiCl₂ were prepared by reaction of bismuth with tricarbonylcyclopentadienylmolybdenum chloride in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). [CpMo(CO)₃]₂BiCl is reduced with magnesium or indium in tetrahydrofuran to give bismuth, [CpMo(CO)₃]₃Bi, and magnesium or indium chloride. In the presence of DMSO, the reaction of [CpMo(CO)₃]₂BiCl with magnesium or indium yields bismuth and the organomolybdenum derivative of magnesium or lithium, respectively.     

Oxidation of magnesium in the systems NaClO4-Mg-Metal oxide (peroxide)

Oxidation of magnesium in mixtures NaClO₄ + Mg + metal oxide or peroxide has been investigated using differential thermal analysis (DTA). In the systems with peroxides Na₂O₂, Li₂O₂, BaO₂, CaO₂ or ZnO, magnesium oxidizes simultaneously with decomposition of NaClO₄ in the region 380–520°C, which is 100–200°C below the oxidation temperature of magnesium in air. In the ternary systems with transition-metal oxides NiO, CuO, FeO, and Fe₂O₃, magnesium transforms into oxide at above 600°C after sodium perchlorate had been decomposed completely. The low-temperature oxidation of magnesium occurs in the systems in which sodium chlorate is accumulated during the catalytic decomposition of NaClO₄.

Comparison of stages in oil agglomeration process of quartz with sodium oleate in the presence of Ca(II) and Mg(II) ions

The oil agglomeration of quartz with sodium oleate in the presence of calcium and magnesium ions comprises three consecutive stages: adsorption of cations onto quartz surfaces, which leads to coagulation of the suspension, shear flocculation with sodium oleate and finally, agglomeration of flocs by kerosene. The effects of pH and cation concentration on these stages were investigated and the results were presented comparatively. It was found that all the stages of oil agglomeration of quartz exhibited sharp dependences on pH and cation concentration. That is, these stages generally took place in the pH and concentration ranges in which hydroxy complexes of the cations existed in the suspension. In the case of magnesium ion, the coagulation, shear flocculation and especially oil agglomeration of quartz improved after precipitation of hydroxide. These species of calcium and magnesium ions formed at high pH were adsorbed on the negatively charged surface of quartz, as a result of which the adsorption of sodium oleate became possible and thus the shear flocculation of the particles was achieved. Thereafter, the hydrophobic quartz flocs could be agglomerated by kerosene as bridging liquid. The increase in the shear flocculation efficiency depending on the increase of surface hydrophobicity enhanced the oil agglomeration of quartz with kerosene. The maximum recoveries for all the stages of the quartz were obtained in the presence of 10(-3) M magnesium and 5x10(-3) M calcium ions at pH 11. However, some differences in the behavior of shear flocculation and oil agglomeration of quartz suspension were observed above 10(-3) M concentration of magnesium ion.     

Synthesis and properties of Zn-Mg heterobimetallic carbamates. Crystal structures of the first reported single source precursors for Zn(x)mg(1-x)O thin films

The first mixed-metal Zn-Mg carbamates have been synthesised using a novel strategy of co-reaction between zinc and magnesium alkylamido intermediates. The complexes were structurally characterised by single-crystal X-ray diffraction; the nuclearity of these carbamato core subunits was found to vary from tetrameric to octameric with respect to the level of magnesium incorporated. The presence of magnesium in the predominantly zinc carbamato lattice was confirmed by refinement of the site occupancies of the metal atoms during the crystal data analysis, and it was found that displacement of up to 7.8% of zinc sites by magnesium atoms could be achieved before breakdown of the structure. Characterisation of the complexes' physicochemical properties revealed that they were suitable for use as single-source chemical vapour deposition (SSCVD) precursors in the deposition of Zn(x)Mg(1-x)O thin films, an emerging material with promising band-gap engineering prospects.     

Sorption of Copper(II) Ions with Nanosized Magnesium Phosphate

A new approach to the preparation of a nanosized sorbent based on magnesium phosphate has been developed. The patterns of copper(II) ions sorption with nanosized magnesium phosphate from aqueous solutions have been investigated.

The high sorption ability of the nanoscale sorbent has been shown in comparison with existing sorbents based on magnesium phosphate.     

Rapid Amperometric Determination of Magnesium(II) Ions

Abstract

An amperometric procedure for the measurement of magnesium(II) has been developed using the enzyme hexokinase in solution and glucose oxidase immobilized onto a preactivated polymeric support. The reaction of hexokinase was monitored following the decrease in current due to the glucose consumption by the enzyme in the presence of the ATP-Mg²⁺ complex. The reaction rate was dependent on the concentration of magnesium(II) in solution. Concentrations of hexokinase and ATP were optimised. Measuring the current change in the 1-3 min interval after the start of the reaction magnesium(II) can be determined in the 4 × 10^?5 to 10^?3 M range. Other divalent cations tested showed no interference. The magnesium(II) content of 5 pharmaceutical products was measured with the amperometric and compared to a spectrophotometric procedure. The results correlated well.     

Atomic partitioning of the dissociation energy of the P-O(H) bond in hydrogen phosphate anion (HPO4(2-)): disentangling the effect of Mg2+

This paper has three goals: (1) to provide a first step in understanding the atomic basis of the role of magnesium in facilitating the dissociation of the P-O bond in phosphorylated biochemical fuel molecules (such as ATP or GTP), (2) to compare second-order M?ller-Plesset perturbation theory (MP2) results with those obtained at the more economical density functional theory (DFT) level for a future study of larger more realistic models of ATP/GTP, and (3) to examine the calculation of atomic total energies from atomic kinetic energies within a Kohn-Sham implemention of DFT, as compared to ab initio methods. A newly described method based on the quantum theory of atoms in molecules (QTAIM), which is termed the "atomic partitioning of the bond dissociation energy" (APBDE), is applied to a simple model of phosphorylated biological molecules (HPO42-). The APBDE approach is applied in the presence and in the absence of magnesium. It is found that the P-O(H) bond in the magnesium complex is shorter, exhibits a higher stretching frequency, and has a higher electron density at the bond critical point than in the magnesium-free hydrogen phosphate anion. Though these data would seem to suggest a stronger P-O(H) bond in the magnesium complex compared to the magnesium-free case, the homolytic breaking of the P-O(H) bond in the complex is found to be easier, i.e., has a lower BDE. This effect is the result of the balance of several atomic contributions to the BDE induced by the magnesium cation, which stabilizes the dissociation product more than it stabilizes the intact model molecule.     

A new method of preparation of the anionic decacarbonyls M2(CO)102− (M = Cr,Mo, W) and syntheses and properties of Mg(THF)2[M2(CO)10]

The anionic decacarbonyIs M₂(CO)₁₀^2? were synthesized via reduction reactions of CrCl₃, MoCl₅ and WCl₆ with metallic magnesium or sodium amalgam under carbon monoxide. Chemical properties and IR characteristics of the magnesium salt Mg(THF)₂[M₂(CO)₁₀] are desribed.     

Syntheses and structures of Mg(C5H5BMe)2, Mg(3,5-Me2C5H3BNMe2)2, the 2,2'-bipyridine adduct Mg(C5H5BMe)2(bipy), and the N-bonded aminoboratabenzene species Mg(3,5-Me2C5H3BNMe2)2(THF)2

The donor-free magnesocene analogues bis(1-methylboratabenzene)magnesium (1) and bis[3,5-dimethyl-1- (dimethylamino)boratabenzene]magnesium (2) are synthesized in good yields by the reactions of dimethylmagnesium with (trimethylstannyl)dihydroborinine precursors 3 and 4. In the crystalline state, both 1 and 2 possess sandwich structures with eta 6-coordinated boratabenzene ligands and display crystallographic centrosymmetry. Compound 1 reacts with the nitrogen donor 2,2'-bipyridine to give the Lewis base adduct (1)(bipy) (identical to 5). In the crystal structure of 5, one boratabenzene ligand is eta 6-bonded to the central metal while the other ligand adopts an eta 1-bonding mode. Crystallization of compound 2 from THF produces the solvate (2)(THF)2 (identical to 6), which exhibits a distorted tetrahedral N2O2 coordination environment around the magnesium atom. The average Mg-N bond distance is 2.141(3) A, and the N-Mg-N angle is 148.0(1) degrees. The observation of an aminoboratabenzene that is solely sigma-bonded to a metal is without precedent.

ReaxFF(MgH) reactive force field for magnesium hydride systems

We have developed a reactive force field (ReaxFF(MgH)) for magnesium and magnesium hydride systems. The parameters for this force field were derived from fitting to quantum chemical (QM) data on magnesium clusters and on the equations of states for condensed phases of magnesium metal and magnesium hydride crystal. The force field reproduces the QM-derived cell parameters, density, and the equations of state for various pure Mg and MgH(2) crystal phases as well as and bond dissociation, angle bending, charge distribution, and reaction energy data for small magnesium hydride clusters. To demonstrate one application of ReaxFF(MgH), we have carried out MD simulations on the hydrogen absorption/desorption process in magnesium hydrides, focusing particularly on the size effect of MgH(2) nanoparticles on H(2) desorption kinetics. Our results show a clear relationship between grain size and heat of formation of MgH(2); as the particle size decreases, the heat of formation increases. Between 0.6 and 2.0 nm, the heat of formation ranges from -16 to -19 kcal/Mg and diverges toward that of the bulk value (-20.00 kcal/Mg) as the particle diameter increases beyond 2 nm. Therefore, it is not surprising to find that Mg nanoparticles formed by ball milling (20-100 nm) do not exhibit any significant change in thermochemical properties.     

Concentration and Thermodynamic Stability Constants of Magnesium(II) and Calcium(II) Tartrate Complexes in Aqueous Solutions

The formation of calcium and magnesium tartrate complexes was studied by potentiometric titration at ionic strengths of 0.1 and 0.3 (in the presence of tetraethylammonium chloride) at a temperature of 298.15 K. The composition and the stability constants of the complexes formed in the system were determined. The known stability constants were used to optimize the conditions of calorimetric determination of the heats of formation of calcium and magnesium tartrates in an aqueous solution.     

Liquid Chromatography Tandem Mass Spectrometry and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy of Magnesium (II) Gluconate Solution

Magnesium gluconate is a classical pharmaceutical compound used as a source of magnesium for the prevention and treatment of hypomagnesemia. To the best of our knowledge, a robust and reliable liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry technique has not yet been reported for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of magnesium gluconate. This study describes the method development for the LC–ESI–MS/MS analysis of magnesium gluconate using three different reversed-phase HPLC conditions (Method I–III) with comprehensive fragmentation pattern and the structural characterization by NMR spectroscopy. The LC–MS and NMR data were found in accordance with the structure of magnesium gluconate. When magnesium gluconate was dissolved in the acetonitrile and water–methanol solutions, it exists in situ in three different forms: magnesium gluconate itself, gluconic acid, and magnesium gluconate chelate with gluconic acid by a coordinate covalent bond. Method I exhibited pseudo-molecular ion peaks with more magnesium gluconate chelates with gluconic acid, while method II showed an adduct of magnesium gluconate with the solvent along with the molecular ion peak. There was no pseudo-molecular ion peaks found in method III. Thus, method III was found to be the more accurate, robust and reliable LC–MS method for the qualitative and quantitative analysis, structural characterization, and could also be suitable for the pharmacokinetic study of magnesium gluconate. The detailed fragmentation analysis might be useful for the structural characterization of unknown divalent organometallics.

The Thermal Stability of Ciprofloxacin Complexes with Magnesium(II), Zinc(II) and Cobalt(II)

The thermal behaviour of Mg(II), Zn(II) and Co(II) compounds of ciprofloxacin was studied by thermogravimetry (TG) and differential thermal analysis (DTA) in order to determine or to confirm some structural characteristics of substances. The complexes decompose in two steps: dehydration and pyrolytic decomposition of the anhydrous complexes to form metal oxide or metal fluoride. The dehydration process of one magnesium(II) compound takes place in two steps suggesting a marked difference in the bonding of water molecules. The different bonding mode of the ciprofloxacin molecules in both magnesium compounds leads to different residues of the thermal decompositions. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Synthesis of a Dimeric Magnesium(I) Compound by an MgI/MgII Redox Reaction

The synthesis of dimeric magnesium(I) compounds of the general type RMgMgR (R=monoanionic substituent) is still a challenging synthetic task and limited to few examples with sterically demanding ligands with delocalized CN‐frameworks that all have been accessed by Na or K metal reduction of magnesium(II) halide precursors. Here we report on the synthesis of a novel diiminophosphinato magnesium(I) compound that has been synthesized by a facile redox reaction using a known magnesium(I) complex. The synthetic strategy may be applicable to other ligand systems and can help expand the class of low oxidation state magnesium complexes even if reductions with Na or K are unsuccessful. The new dimeric magnesium(I) complex has been structurally characterized and undergoes a C? C coupling reaction with tert‐butylisocyanate.
