Speciation analysis of antimony in marine biota by HPLC-(UV)-HG-AFS: Extraction procedures and stability of antimony species

Speciation analysis of antimony in marine biota is not well documented, and no specific extraction procedure of antimony species from algae and mollusk samples can be found in the literature. This work presents a suitable methodology for the speciation of antimony in marine biota (algae and mollusk samples). The extraction efficiency of total antimony and the stability of Sb(III), Sb(V) and trimethylantimony(V) in different extraction media (water at 25 and 90 °C, methanol, EDTA and citric acid) were evaluated by analyzing the algae Macrosystis integrifolia (0.55 ± 0.04 μg Sb g⁻¹) and the mollusk Mytilus edulis (0.23 ± 0.01 μg Sb g⁻¹). The speciation analysis was performed by anion exchange liquid chromatography (post-column photo-oxidation) and hydride generation atomic fluorescence spectrometry as detection system (HPLC-(UV)-HG-AFS). Results demonstrated that, based on the extraction yield and the stability, EDTA proved to be the best extracting solution for the speciation analysis of antimony in these matrices. The selected procedure was applied to antimony speciation in different algae samples collected from the Chilean coast. Only the inorganic Sb(V) and Sb(III) species were detected in the extracts. In all analyzed algae the sum of total antimony extracted (determined in the extracts after digestion) and the antimony present in the residue was in good agreement with the total antimony concentration determined by HG-AFS. However, in some extracts the sum of antimony species detected was lower than the total extracted, revealing the presence of unknown antimony species, possibly retained on the column or not detected by HPLC-(UV)-HG-AFS. Further work must be carried out to elucidate the identity of these unknown species of antimony.     

Antimony speciation by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry using solid phase extraction cartridges

A novel and simple method for inorganic antimony speciation is described based on selective solid phase extraction (SPE) separation of antimony(III) and highly sensitive inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometric (ICP-MS) detection of total antimony and antimony(V) in the aqueous phase of the sample. Non-polar SPE cartridges, such as the Isolute silica-based octyl (C8) sorbent-containing cartridge, selectively retained the Sb(III) complex with ammonium pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (APDC), while the uncomplexed Sb(V) remained as a free species in the solution and passed through the cartridge. The Sb(III) concentration was calculated as the difference between total antimony and Sb(V) concentrations. The detection limit was 1 ng L(-1) antimony. Factors affecting the separation and detection of antimony species were investigated. Acidification of samples led to partial or complete retention of Sb(V) on C8 cartridge. Foreign ions tending to complex with Sb(III) or APDC did not interfere with the retention behavior of the Sb(III)-APDC complex. This method has been successfully applied to antimony speciation of various types of water samples.     

Comparative phytotoxicity of methylated and inorganic arsenic- and antimony species to Lemna minor, Wolffia arrhiza and Selenastrum capricornutum

The alkylation of metalloids through the transfer of methyl groups is an important factor in the biogeochemical cycling of elements like arsenic and antimony. In the environment, many different organic and inorganic forms of these elements can therefore be found in soils, sediments or organisms. Studies that compare the ecotoxicity of these different chemical species however are rare. Therefore, this study aimed to generate toxicity data on two scarcely studied organic compounds of arsenic and antimony, as well as to compare their toxicity to the inorganic species, which are studied so far to a higher extent, in order to improve the environmental effect assessment of these elements. To this purpose, bioassays were performed in which three different aquatic organisms (the floating water plants Lemna minor and Wolffia arrhiza and the green alga Selenastrum capricornutum) were exposed to a concentration series of 3 different arsenic species (sodium arsenite — As(III), sodium arsenate — As(V), and monomethylarsonous diiodide — MMAs(III)) and three different antimony species (antimony potassium tartrate hydrate — Sb(III), potassium hexahydroxoantimonate — Sb(V), trimethylantimony(V) bromide — TMSb(V). The observed effect concentrations demonstrated that the inorganic (III)- and (V)-valent species of arsenic were clearly more toxic than the corresponding antimony species. The highest overall toxicity has been shown by MMAs(III) followed by the inorganic As(III). The highest toxicity of the three tested antimony species has been observed for TMSb(V). The observed differences in effect levels stress the importance once more that speciation must not be ignored in toxicity studies.     

Speciation of Antimony in Soils and Sediments by Liquid Chromatography–Hydride Generation–Atomic Fluorescence Spectrometry

The methodology for antimony speciation was optimized for liquid chromatography coupled to hydride generation – atomic fluorescence spectrometry. An anion exchange column was employed with isocratic elution. Ammonium tartrate was shown to be the optimum mobile phase and extracting solution for this analysis. The highest efficiency and resolution for the antimony species was achieved using 5 percent methanol in 300 millimoles per liter ammonium tartrate acidified with hydrochloric acid to pH 4.5. The retention times of antimony(V), trimethylantimony, and antimony(III) were 2.6, 3.9, and 5.2 minutes, respectively. The calibration curves were linear with limits of detection of 0.1, 0.2, and 0.43 microgram per liter for antimony(III), antimony(V), and trimethylantimony, respectively. The precision, evaluated by the relative standard deviation, ranged from 1.2 to 5.3 percent. The average recovery from these environmental samples by a single-step procedure was approximately 26 percent. The results also revealed that the correlation between the sum of each species by the single-step procedure and total digestion was significant for the investigated soils and sediments.     

Speciation of volatile antimony compounds in culture headspace gases of Cryptococcus humicolus using solid phase microextraction and gas chromatography–mass spectrometry

Direct analysis of the volatile antimony compounds stibine (SbH₃), monomethylantimony, dimethylantimony (Me₂Sb) and trimethylantimony (Me₃Sb) using solid phase microextraction (SPME) with polydimethylsiloxane fibres and gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) is described. The best analyte to background signal ratio was achieved using a 20 min extraction time. Antimony species were separated using a 3% phenylmethylsilicone capillary column operated at a column pressure of 70 kPa, a flow rate of 1.4 ml min^?1 and temperature ramping from 30 to 36 °C at 0.1 °C min^?1. Cryogenic focusing of desorbed species was required to achieve resolution of antimony species. The optimized SPME–GC–MS method was applied to the analysis of headspace gases from cultures of Cryptococcus humicolus incubated with inorganic antimony(III) and (V) substrates. The headspace gases from biphasic (aerobic–anaerobic) biomass‐concentrated culture incubations revealed the presence of SbH₃, Me₂Sb and Me₃Sb. Stibine was the major antimony species detected in cultures amended with inorganic antimony(V). Me₃Sb was the sole volatile antimony species detected when cultures were amended with antimony(III).

Microcolumn sorption of antimony(III) chelate for antimony speciation studies

Selective sorption of the Sb(III) chelate with ammonium pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (APDC) on a microcolumn packed with C₁₆-bonded silica gel phase was used for the determination of Sb(III) and of total inorganic antimony after reducing Sb(V) to Sb(III) by l-cysteine. A flow injection system composed of a microcolumn connected to the tip of the autosampler was used for preconcentration. The sorbed antimony was directly eluted with ethanol into the graphite furnace and determined by AAS. The detection limit for antimony was significantly lowered to 0.007 μg l⁻¹ in comparison to 1.7 μg l⁻¹ for direct injection GFAAS. This procedure was applied for speciation determinations of inorganic antimony in tap water, snow and urine samples. For the investigation of long-term stability of antimony species a flow injection hydride generation atomic absorption spectrometry with quartz tube atomization (FI HG QT AAS) and GFAAS were used for selective determination of Sb(III) in the presence of Sb(V) and total content of antimony, respectively. Investigations on the stability of antimony in several natural samples spiked with Sb(III) and Sb(V) indicated instability of Sb(III) in tap water and satisfactory stability of inorganic Sb species in the presence of urine matrix.     

Speciation of antimony(III) and antimony(V) in cell extracts by anion chromatography/inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry

An analytical method for the separation and quantification of Sb(III) and Sb(V) using anion chromatography with ICP-MS is presented. The optimum conditions for the separation of the antimony species were established with 15 mmol/L nitric acid at pH 6 as eluent system on a PRP-X100 column. The retention times for antimony(V) and antimony(III) were 85 s and 300 s with detection limits of 0.06 microg/L and 0.29 microg/L, respectively. The proposed method was applied to cell extracts of Leishmania donovani, which were incubated with antimony(III) and antimony(V). Some metabolism seemed to occur within the cells.

Synthesis,characterization and reactivity of a neutral antimony(III) complex

Pincer complexes are widely used in organometallic and coordination chemistry. The role of antimony as a central donor atom in pincer ligands has been extensively explored in recent years. Although phenylenediamine derived PXP (X = B, Al, C, Si, Ge, Sn, N) type ligands exhibit diverse reactivity, analogues species based on antimony have been reported less frequently. Herein, we report a new PSbP complex and evaluate its reactivity. These species will broaden the family of phenylenediamine derived pincer complexes.
