Mechanistic studies for modelling the metal ioncatalyzed tiron-hydrogen peroxide indicator reaction

Model building of kinetic-catalytic methods of determination is attempted for the tironhydrogen peroxide indicator reaction catalyzed by cobalt(II) and manganese(II) in alkaline medium. As a first approximation, rate equations for the metal ion-catalyzed reactions are derived from kinetic dependences on reagent concentrations and pH. More general models are obtained by considering the metal ion equilibria in the reaction mixture. For Co(II), a ternary tironhydrogen peroxideCo(II) complex was found to be responsible for the catalytic activity. As stability constants of peroxo (Co(II) complexes are unknown, only a qualitative approach can be given. Manganese catalyzes the indicator reaction in the presence of 1,10-phenanthroline or 2,2′-bipyridine. The initial rates under pseudo zero-order conditions in hydrogen peroxide and tiron correlate directly with the fraction of ternary activatortironMn(II) complex present. For bipyridine as activator, the rate constant is 1.31 × 10⁶ M^?1 min^?1 with respect to the ternary complex.     

SYNTHESIS, CHARACTERIZATION AND CATALYTIC ACTIVITY OF N,N''''-BIS(3-ALLYL SALICYLIDENE)ETHYLENEDIAMINE COBALT(Ⅱ) SCHIFF BASE COMPLEX ANCHORED ON A NEW POLYMER SUPPORT

SYNTHESIS, CHARACTERIZATION AND CATALYTIC ACTIVITY OF N,N''-BIS(3-ALLYL SALICYLIDENE)ETHYLENEDIAMINE COBALT(II) SCHIFF BASE COMPLEX ANCHORED ON A NEW POLYMER SUPPORT

A new chelating polymer support has been prepared by suspension copolymeriz a tion of synthesized N,N'-bis(3-allyl salicylidene)ethylenediamine monomer Schiff base (N,N'-BSEDA) with styrene (St) and divinylbenzene (DVB) using azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) as initiator in the presence of poly(vinyl alcohol). The content and complexation ability of monomer Schiff base (N,N'-BSEDA) for cobalt(II) ions in prepared crosslinked polymer beads have shown dependence on the amount of DVB used in reaction mixture. The amount of monomer Schiff base (N,N'-BSEDA) in crosslinked beads showed a substantial decreasing trend at high concentration of DVB in the reaction mixture (＞ 1.5 mol dm-3), hence the efficiency of complexation (EC%) and cobalt(II) ion loading (EL%) of polymer beads showed a decreasing trend. The structure of monomer Schiff base (N,N'-BSEDA) and its cobalt(II) complex on polymer support was elucidated by IR, UV and magnetic measurements. The catalytic activity of polymer bound cobalt(Ⅱ) Schiff base complex was evaluated by analyzing kinetic data of decomposition of hydrogen peroxide in the presence of either supported cobalt (II) complex or free cobalt(II) complex. The activation energy for the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide by polymer supported cobalt(II)complex was found to be low (33.37 kJ mol-l) in comparison with unsupported cobalt(II) complex (56.35 kJ mol-1). On the basis of experimental observations, reaction steps are proposed and a suitable rate expression derived.     

SYNTHESIS, CHARACTERIZATION AND CATALYTIC ACTIVITY OF N,N'-BIS(3-ALLYL SALICYLIDENE)ETHYLENEDIAMINE COBALT SCHIFF BASE COMPLEX ANCHORED ON A NEW POLYMER SUPPORT

 A new chelating polymer support has been prepared by suspension copolymerization of synthesized N,N'-bis(3-allyl salicylidene)ethylenediamine monomer Schiff base (N,N'-BSEDA) with styrene (St) and divinylbenzene (DVB) using azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) as initiator in the presence of poly(vinyl alcohol). The content and complexation ability of monomer Schiff base (N,N'-BSEDA) for cobalt(Ⅱ) ions in prepared crosslinked polymer beads have shown dependence on the amount of DVB used in reaction mixture. The amount of monomer Schiff base (N,N '-BSEDA) in crosslinked beads showed a substantial decreasing trend at high concentration of DVB in the reaction mixture (> 1.5 mol dm^-3), hence the efficiency of complexation (EC%) and cobaltⅡion loading (EL%) of polymer beads showed a decreasing trend. The structure of monomer Schiff base (N,N'-BSEDA) and its cobalt(Ⅱ)complex on polymer support was elucidated by IR, UV and magnetic measurements. The catalytic activity of polymer bound cobalt(Ⅱ)Schiff base complex was evaluated by analyzing kinetic data of decomposition of hydrogen peroxide in the presence of either supported cobalt(Ⅱ)complex or free cobalt(Ⅱ)complex. The activation energy for the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide by polymer supported cobalt complex was found to be low (33.37 kJ mol^-1) in comparison with unsupported cobalt(Ⅱ)complex (56.35 kJ mol^-1).

Catalytic activity of Cu(II)–poly(vinyl alcohol) complex for decomposition of hydrogen peroxide

Decomposition of hydrogen peroxide was examined was examined by using Cu(II)–poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) as catalyst. The rates of decomposition were measured. Electronic spectra and infrared spectra of Cu(II)–PVA complex systems were determined at various stages of decomposition. Effect of addition of various amines to the Cu(II)–PVA system on catalytic action was considered. The relation between the initial rate and the initial concentration of hydrogen peroxide varied in accordance with the rate expression of Michaelis-Menten type. Cu(II)–PVA complex was found to have a large catalytic activity, while the polymeric PVA ligand and copper(II) ion exhibited less activity than Cu(II)–PVA complex. For hydrogen peroxide decomposition, Cu(II)–PVA complex showed catalytic activity when a stable complex of planar structure formed, while many other polymer complexes reported by other authors showed the catalytic activity when they were in unstable complex forms. An amine substituent has a critical influence on the rate of hydrogen peroxide decomposition. The mechanism in the first step of reaction for hydrogen peroxide decomposition is discussed.     

Photoluminescent Eu3+/Tb3+ hybrids from the copolymerization of organically modified silane

A novel series of organic/inorganic/polymeric hybrid materials have been constructed from covalently bonding rare earth complexes into the inorganic matrix and polymer backbone. Among functional linkage, 3-chloropropyltrimethoxysilane is used to modify the hydroxyl group of p-hydroxycinnamic acid via substitution reaction to form the precursor, and the precursor is subsequently used to covalently bonding to acrylic acid, methyl acrylate, and vinyltriethoxysilane, respectively, through copolymerization reaction to form the organic/inorganic/polymeric network. In addition, we introduce the monomer 1,10-phenanthroline as the second reagent ligand for constructing the ternary luminescent hybrid material systems (abbreviated as HC-PMA-RE, HC?=?p-hydroxycinnamic acid and 3-chloropropyltrimethoxysilane). The physical characterization and especially the photoluminescence property of ternary system are studied in detail, which present the regular microstructure and characteristic photoluminescence.

Influence of intramolecular hydrogen bond of templates on molecular recognition of molecularly imprinted polymers

Three molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) were prepared corresponding to three structurally related template compounds 4-hydroxybenzoic acid (4-HBA), gentisic acid (GA) and salicylic acid (SA) that differ in intramolecular hydrogen bonding ability using acrylamide (AA) as a functional monomer. HPLC method was used to evaluate the binding performances of the MIPs to the templates and several analogues. The results showed that the difference in their molecular recognition ability was pronounced. The highest molecular recognition ability was observed for 4-HBA-imprinted polymer. It was proved that the hydrogen bond interaction between the functional monomer and the template (4-HBA) played a major role in the recognition process and Scatchard analysis showed that two classes of binding sites were formed in 4-HBA-imprinted polymer. Their dissociation constants were estimated to be 1.76×10⁻⁴ and 1.40×10⁻³ mol l⁻¹, respectively. But for GA- or SA-imprinted polymer the molecular recognition ability was not improved compared to the blank polymer (BP). By comparison of the structures of the three templates, it was concluded that the molecular recognition ability will decrease when the template itself is able to form intramolecular hydrogen bond in the molecular imprinting process. This study will be helpful for us to understand the molecular recognition mechanism of MIPs and of instructive significance for the prediction of the selectivity of MIPs.     

Identification of a copper(I) intermediate in the conversion of 1-aminocyclopropane carboxylic acid (ACC) into ethylene by Cu(II)-ACC complexes and hydrogen peroxide

Several Cu(II) complexes with ACC (=1-aminocyclopropane carboxylic acid) or AIB (=aminoisobutyric acid) were prepared using 2,2'-bipyridine, 1,10-phenanthroline, and 2-picolylamine ligands: [Cu(2,2'-bipyridine)(ACC)(H2O)](ClO4) (1a), [Cu(1,10-phenanthroline)(ACC)](ClO4) (2a), [Cu(2-picolylamine)(ACC)](ClO4) (3a), and [Cu(2,2'-bipyridine)(AIB)(H2O)](ClO4) (1b). All of the complexes were characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis. The Cu(II)-ACC complexes are able to convert the bound ACC moiety into ethylene in the presence of hydrogen peroxide, in an "ACC-oxidase-like" activity. A few equivalents of base are necessary to deprotonate H2O2 for optimum activity. The presence of dioxygen lowers the yield of ACC conversion into ethylene by the copper(II) complexes. During the course of the reaction of Cu(II)-ACC complexes with H2O2, brown species (EPR silent and lambda max approximately 435 nm) were detected and characterized as being the Cu(I)-ACC complexes that are obtained upon reduction of the corresponding Cu(II) complexes by the deprotonated form of hydrogen peroxide. The geometry of the Cu(I) species was optimized by DFT calculations that reveal a change from square-planar to tetrahedral geometry upon reduction of the copper ion, in accordance with the observed nonreversibility of the redox process. In situ prepared Cu(I)-ACC complexes were also reacted with hydrogen peroxide, and a high level of ethylene formation was obtained. We propose Cu(I)-OOH as a possible active species for the conversion of ACC into ethylene, the structure of which was examined by DFT calculation.     

Aerobic Oxidation of Alcohols to Aldehydes and Ketones with Recyclable Pd Catalysts on Cross-linked 1,10-Phenanthroline Polymers

A 1,10-phenanthroline based polymer named PPPhen(i.e., polymer from pyrene 1,10-phenanthrolin) was prepared by the Friedel-Crafts reaction of 1,10-phenanthroline and pyrene cross-linked with dimethoxymethane. The related Pd catalyst Pd@PPPhen was prepared by supporting Pd nanoparticles(NPs) on the PPPhen material. PPPhen and Pd@PPPhen were characterized by means of scanning electron microscopy(SEM), transmission electron microscopy, N₂ adsorption-desorption, Fourier-transform infrared and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analyses. The results showed that PPPhen polymer was highly porous and that the phenanthroline group can enhance the stability of the Pd nanoparticles. Pd@PPPhen also exhibited good catalytic activity in the aerobic oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes and ketones, and Pd@PPPhen was recyclable with durable activity and retentive structures.

Synthesis of Coordination Polymers Using Different Maleic Acid Ligands under Hydrothermal Conditions

A novel coordination polymer, [Ni(mal)(1,10′-phen)(H2O)]n(1)(mal=malate, 1,10′-phen=1,10-phenanthroline) was synthesized using malic acid which was generated from maleic acid via hydrothermal reaction. Complex 1, which displays a two-dimensional supramolecular network, was formed by the addition reaction of Ni and maleic acid with water molecules. To our knowledge, several coordination polymers have been directly synthesized from malic acid, but these types of complexes have seldom been synthesized from maleic acid via hydrothermal reactions. When Ni(Ⅱ) ion was changed to Zn(Ⅱ) ion under the same condition, two-dimensional covalent complex 2[Zn2(fma)2(1,10′-phen)2]n(fma=fumatic acid) was formed. Furthermore, complex 2 exhibits intense photoluminescent property at room temperature.     

CATALASE MIMIC WITH Fe (II) METALLOMICELLE

The effect of Fe (II) metallomicelle as a model of catalase, which was formed by adding surfactants (CTAB, SDS, LSS, Brij35) in Fe (II) -trien complex of molar ratios 1: 500 on the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide was investigated at 20°C and 30°C in pH 10 using KI-color and UV Spectrophotometry. A kinetic model for metallomicellar catalysis was proposed. The association constant of the ternary complex K and the rate constant of the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide k3 were obtained. The results indicate that the metallomicelles making up of Fe (II) metal complex and cationic or nonionic surfactants have obvious catalysis on the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide, but the metallomicelles making up of Fe (II) metal complex and anionic or zwitterionic surfactants have inhibition on this reaction.     

Effect of Molecular Modification on PCL Foam Formation and Morphology of PCL

Poly(ϵ-caprolactone) was chemically modified by using dicumyl peroxide from 0.25 to 2 % (w/w) and the effects of molecular architecture on the density and morphology of PCL foams were examined. The polymer was first blended with dicumyl peroxide at a low temperature (80°C), to prevent premature peroxide decomposition. The peroxide modification was then performed at different temperatures, from 110°C to 150°C. The reaction kinetic was followed by measuring the dynamical rheological properties of the melt in isothermal experiments by using a parallel plate rheometer. The evolution of the macromolecular structure during the chemical reaction was followed by analyzing the time evolution of the complex viscosity. Foams were prepared from the peroxide modified PCL with a batch foaming process using nitrogen as the foaming agent under different process conditions. As expected, the increase of the molecular modification led to a shift towards higher temperatures of the foaming window and, moreover, influenced the viscoelastic behavior of the expanding polymeric matrix so that the final foam properties are affected.

A molecularly imprinted polymer was prepared using a water-soluble crosslinking agent. An ionic complex was utilized as the assembly for the template molecule and the functional monomer, and water as porogenic solvent during preparation of the imprinted polymer. The results of chromatographic evaluations for the prepared polymer suggested that the polymer had much lower hydrophobicity compared with usual octadecyl group bonded silica or the usual molecular imprinted polymer prepared from ethyleneglycol dimethacrylate, and the selective recognition ability for template molecule in the completely aqueous condition.     

对羟基苯甲酸、水杨酸分子印迹聚合物分子识别性质的 研究

以对羟基苯甲酸(4-HBA)为模板分子,4-乙烯吡啶(4-Vpy)为功能单体,制备得到了4-HBA分子印迹聚合物P(4-HBA),研究了该聚合物的分子识别机理,并与在同样条件下制备的水杨酸(SA)分子印迹聚合物P(SA)进行了分子识别能力的比较。结果表明：P(SA)比P(4-HBA)具有更好的分子识别能力。这是由于SA的酸性较4-HBA强,因此与碱性功能单体4-Vpy之间的静电作用更强,从而得到的复合物更稳定。本实验结果证明：功能单体与模板分子形成稳定的复合物是得到分子识别能力高的模板聚合物的前提条件。本文将有助于对分子印迹的过程以及分子印迹聚合物分子识别机理的进一步理解,并且对于根据模板分子的性质预测MIP的分子识别能力也将具有一定的指导意义。
