SYNTHESIS AND PROPERTIES OF METAL COMPLEXES OF β-DIKETONE BASED SIDE CHAIN LIQUID CRYSTAL POLYSILOXANE

A new type of metal coordinated liquid crystalline polymers has been synthesized by complexation of metal ions with β-diketone based side chain liquid crystal polysiloxane (DKLCP). The complexation of copper ions with DKLCP greatly increases the phase transition temperature T_k from crystalline state to liquid crystalline state and T_(cl) from LC to isotropic state and makes the range of phase transition ΔT (ΔT=T_(cl)-T_k) widened. These complexes are soluble in common organic solvents. However, the incorporation of europium ions into DKLCP molecules gives rise to reduction in liquid crystallinity and crosslinking in some cases. The DKLCP coordinated with suitable amount of Eu ions can show good liquid crystallinity and fluorescent property.

Extraction chromatographic study of aluminium(III) and mutual separation of aluminium(III), gallium(III), indium(III) and thallium(III) with N-n-octylaniline

A selective method has been developed for extraction chromatographic studies of aluminium(III) and its separation from several metal ions with a chromatographic column containing N-n-octylaniline (liquid anion exchanger) coated on silanized silica gel as a stationary phase. The aluminium(III) was quantitatively extracted with the 0.065 mol/L N-n-octylaninine from 0.013 to 0.05 mol/L sodium succinate at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The extracted metal ion has been recovered by eluting with 25.0 mL of 0.05 mol/L hydrochloric acid and estimated spectrophotometrically with aurintricarboxylic acid. The effects of the acid concentration, the reagent concentration, the flow rate and the eluting agents have been investigated. The log-log plots of distribution coefficient (KdAl(III)) versus N-n-octylaniline concentrationin 0.005 and 0.007 mol/L sodium succinate gave theslopes 0.5 and 0.7 respectively and showed theprobable composition of theextracted species was 1:1 (metal to amine ratio) and the nature of extracted species is [RR''NH2+ Al succinate2-] org. .The extraction of aluminium(III) was carried out in the presence of various ions to ascertain the tolerance limit of individual ions. Aluminium(III) has been separated from multicomponent mixtures, pharmaceutical samples and synthetic mixtures corresponding to alloys. A scheme for mutual separation of aluminium(III), indium(III), gallium(III) and thallium(III) has been developed by using suitable masking agents. The method is fast, accurate and precise.     

Understanding the adsorption mechanism of Ni(II) on graphene oxides by batch experiments and density functional theory studies

The graphene oxides(GOs) have attracted multidisciplinary study because of their special physicochemical properties. The high surface area and large amounts of oxygen-containing functional groups make GOs suitable materials for the efficient elimination of heavy metal ions from aqueous solutions. Herein the sorption of Ni(II) on GOs was studied using batch experiments, and the results showed that the sorption of Ni(II) is strongly dependent on p H and ionic strength at pH8, and independent of ionic strength at pH8. The sorption of Ni(II) is mainly dominated by outer-sphere surface complexation and ion exchange at low p H, and by inner-sphere surface complexation at high p H. The interaction of Ni(II) with GOs was also investigated by theoretical density functional theory(DFT) calculations, and the results show that the sorption of Ni(II) on GOs is mainly attributed to the –COH and –COC groups and the DFT calculations show that Ni(II) forms stable GO_Ni_triplet structure with the binding energy of -39.44 kcal/mol, which is in good agreement with the batch sorption experimental results. The results are important for the application of GOs as adsorbents in the efficient removal of Ni(II) from wastewater in environmental pollution cleanup.     

自溶液中的吸附 VII: 硅胶自环己烷中吸附醇,酮和酯

The adsorption isotherms of some monofunctional alcohols, ketones and esters from cyclohexane onto silica gel have been determined at 30`C and 10`C. The silica gel used bad a BET area of 417 m2/g and an average pore radius of 45A. The concentrations of free and associated hydroxyls on the silica gel were 1.4 and 4.1/100A^2 respectively. The adsorption order is cyclohexanol>n-octyl alcohol>cyclohexanone>methyl isobutyl ketone>n-propyl acetate=n-amyl acetate. The adsorption decreases with increasing temperature as normal. Except at very low concentrations, the isotherms can be represented by the Langmuir equation. The limiting adsorption, nms, on the silica gel does not accord with the stoichiometric ratio (1:1) between the free surface hydroxyl groups of the adsorbent and the adsorbate. In addition to surface conditions and the functional group of the adsorbate, it seems that the limiting adsorption is also controlled by the other factors, including temperature, solvent, and, sometimes the chain length of the adsorbate. The standard free energy (ΔG0) and standard enthalpy (ΔH0) of the adsorbates in adsorptien processes have been determined from the Langmuir parameters. The results indicate that the absolute value of ΔH0 is higher than that of ΔG0 (in other words, standard entropy ΔS0 is negative), as in the case of the adsorption of gases. Since there is practically no difference in ΔG0 or ΔH0 of adsorption between alcohols or esters, it is suggested that in dilute solution only the polar groups take part in adsorption, and the hydrocarben chains remain in solution during the adsorption process. For ketones, the absolute values of ΔG0 and ΔH0 are somewhat lower for methyl isobutyl ketone than that for cyclohexanone. A possible explanation is that in the adsorbed state the isobutyl chain of the methyl isobutyl ketone may somewhat close to the surface and thus decreases the adsorption and changes the ΔG0 and ΔH0.     

Atomic absorption spectrometric determination of Fe(III) and Cr(III) in various samples after preconcentration by solid-phase extraction with pyridine-2-carbaldehyde thiosemicarbazone

An atomic absorption spectrometric method for the determination of Fe(III) and Cr(III) after solid-phase extraction of their Schiff-base chelates by a column procedure with Amberlite XAD-4 was developed. A Schiff base, pyridine-2-carbaldehyde thiosemicarbazone (PCTSC), was synthesized and used as a chromogenic reagent for solid-phase extraction of Fe(III) and Cr(III) ions in the column procedure. The influence of various analytical parameters including the amount of solid phase, pH, type of elution solution, volume of sample solution, and flow rate of sample solution on the extraction efficiency of analytes were investigated. The recoveries of Fe(III) and Cr(III) were 99 ± 1 and 98 ± 2%, respectively, at the 95% confidence level under the optimum conditions. Fe(III) and Cr(III) were preconcentrated up to 25-fold. The limit of detection of Fe(III) and Cr(III) are 4.1 and 3.72 μg/L, respectively. The proposed method was applied to the determination of these metal ions in tap water, river water, Atatürk Dam water, and alloy samples. The relative standard deviation and the relative error are lower than 6%. The text was submitted by the authors in English.     

Kinetics and Thermodynamics of Adsorption of VB12 onto Mesoporous Carbon Coated with PMMA

Ordered mesoporous carbons CMK-3, CMK-1 coated with poly(methyl methacrylate)(PMMA)(CMK-3- PMMA and CMK-1-PMMA) and pristine mesoporous carbons CMK-3, CMK-1 were employed to adsorb vitamin B12(VB12) from water solution. Adsorption isotherm and kinetics of adsorption were investigated via batch experi- ments. It was found that the adsorption capacity of VB12 at 30, 40 and 50 °C can reach 688.2, 572.4 and 428.7 mg/g, respectively. The adsorption isotherm can be described by Langmuir model. The pseudo first- and second-order kinetic models were employed to fit the dynamic adsorption. It was found that the dynamic adsorption follows the pseudo second-order model. The thermodynamic equilibrium coefficients obtained at different temperatures were used to evaluate the thermodynamic constants ΔG0, ΔH0 and ΔS0. The negative value of Gibbs free energy, ΔG0 indicates that the adsorption occurred via a spontaneous process. The increase in the value of –ΔG0 with increasing temperature indicates that higher temperatures were favourable to the sorption process. The enthalpy values of ΔH040 kJ/mol(66.36 kJ/mol and 56.43 kJ/mol) for CMK-3-PMMA and CMK-1-PMMA confirm that chemisorption were involved in the adsorption process. This is consistent with the IR spectra and is another evidence for the formation of hydrogen bond between PMMA in the pore of CMK-3 and VB12.     

A Density Functional Theory Study of the Hydrates of 2NH_3:H_2SO_4 and Its Implications for the Formation of Atmosphere Particles

Density functional theory was used at the B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) level of theory to study the hydrates of 2NH3:H2SO4:nH2O for n = 0～4. Neutrals of the most stable clusters, when n = 0 and 1, spontaneously formed and were determined to be hydrogen-bonded molecular complexes of monomeric species. Double ions (clusters containing a NH4+ cation and a HSO4- anion) or even ternary ions (clusters with two NH4+ cations and one SO42- anion) spontaneously formed in the most stable clusters of 2NH3:H2SO4:nH2O (n = 2, 3, 4). The energetics of binding and incremental association was also calculated. Double ions are not energetically favorable until 2NH3:H2SO4:2H2O because of the about equal free energies for forming the neutral (the most stable) and double ion (the second stable) isomers. The free energy of incremental association from free H2O and 2NH3:H2SO4:nH2O has a maximum at n = 2 at room temperature with ΔG ≈ -2 kcal/mol. The comparison of incremental association energies between 2NH3:H2SO4:nH2O, NH3:H2SO4:nH2O and H2SO4:nH2O clusters revealed that NH3 plays an important role in the atmospheric particle nucleation.     

Complexation of radionuclide ~(152+154)Eu(Ⅲ) with alumina-bound fulvic acid studied by batch and time-resolved laser fluorescence spectroscopy

To contribute to the understanding of Eu(Ⅲ)interaction properties on hydrous alumina particles in the absence and presence of fulvic acid(FA),the complexation properties of Eu(Ⅲ)with hydrous alumina,FA and FA-alumina hybrids are studied by batch and time-resolved laser fluorescence spectroscopy(TRLFS)techniques.The continuous increase in the fluorescence lifetime of Eu-alumina and Eu-FA with increasing pH indicates that the complexation is accompanied by decreasing number of hydration water in the first coordination sphere of Eu(Ⅲ).Eu(Ⅲ)is adsorbed onto alumina particles as outer-sphere surface complexes of≡(Al-O)-Eu·(OH)·7H_2O and≡(Al-O)-Eu·6H_2O at low pH values,and as inner-sphere surface complexes as≡(Al-O)_2-Eu~+·4H_2O at high pH.In FA solution,Eu(Ⅲ)forms complexes with FA as(COO)_2Eu~+(H_2O)_x and the hydration water number in the first coordination sphere decreases with pH increasing.The formation of≡COO-Eu-(O-Al≡)·4H_2O is observed on FA-alumina hybrids,suggesting the formation of strong inner-sphere surface complexes in the presence of FA.The surface complexes are also characterized by their emission spectra[the ratio of emission intensities of~5D_0→~7F_1(λ=594nm)and~5D_0→~7F_2(λ=619nm)transitions]and their fluorescence lifetime.The findings is important to understand the contribution of FA in the complexation properties of Eu(Ⅲ)on FA-alumina hybrids that the clarification of the environmental behavior of humic substances is necessary to understand fully the behavior of Eu(Ⅲ),or its analogue trivalent lanthanide and actinide ions in natural environment.     

Hybrid Dextran-gadolinium Nano-suitcases as High-relaxivity MRI Contrast Agents

Dextran-poly(glycidyl methacrylate)(Dex-PGMA) nano-suitcases were synthesized efficiently via a graft copolymerization induced self-assembly(GISA) approach. On this basis, the Dex-PGMA nano-suitcases were modified with hydrazide, and the attachment of multiple chelated Gd(Ⅲ) ions to the interior of the nano-suitcases affords nanoscale MRI contrast agents with high relaxivity values. The highly fenestrated dextran shell of the nano-suitcases assures water exchange which readily occurs between the surrounding environment and the Gd(Ⅲ) ions encapsulated within the hybrid nano-suitcases. The complexation between the hydrophilic hydrazide interior of the nano-suitcases and Gd(Ⅲ) ions results in an impressive Gd payload at 22.6 wt% in the hybrid nano-suitcases. The longitudinal relaxivity(r1) of the hybrid nano-suitcases is reported as 44.4 L/(mmol·s), which is 9-14 folds of that of commercial Gd-DTPA agents. In vivo MRI studies demonstrate that the hybrid nano-suitcases accumulated in the lymph node of the rat due to their nanoscale dimensions and displayed strong signals in vivo. The results indicated that the hybrid nano-suitcases provide a promising platform for the diagnosis of lymph node related diseases.     

Sorption of noble-metal ions on silica with chemically bonded nitrogen-containing ligands

A study has been made of the sorption of Ir(IV), Rh(III), Pt(IV), Ru(IV), Os(VIII), Pd(II) and Au(III) from aqueous solutions by silica chemically modified with nitrogen-containing organic ligands, as a function of hydrochloric acid concentration, time of contact, concentration of the element and the ionic strength. Sorption of noble-metal ions at pH > 1 on a sorbent containing monoamine groups seems to be due to a complexation mechanism, and to an anion-exchange mechanism at pH < 1. With aminopropyl-silica 1000-fold concentration of Ir(IV) and Rh(III) from their 10(-8)-10(-7)M solutions was achieved and these metals were subsequently determined on the sorbent surface by X-ray fluorescence. Detection limits were 10-20 ng/ml. There was no interference from 1000-fold quantities of non-ferrous metal ions and Fe(III). With the sorbent containing bonded diethylenetriamine groups, 1000-fold concentration of Au(III) was achieved, and it was then determined on the sorbent surface by an atomic-emission method. Conditions for desorption of Au(III) with pyridine and potassium thiocyanate were developed.

Complexation and determination of palladium (II) ion with para-Cl-phenylazo-R-acid spectrophotometrically

The complexation of para-Cl-phenylazo-R-acid azo dye with Pd(II) has been studied spectrophotometrically. Protonation constant (pK(a)) of the ligand has been calculated and the stability conditional constants of para-Cl-phenylazo-R-acid ligand with palladium ion has been determined at a constant temperature (25.0 degrees C), where the molar ratio of this complex is 1:1 (metal:ligand) with logbeta(1)=3.75, and 1:2 with logbeta(2)=8.55. Solid complex of para-Cl-phenylazo-R-acid has been prepared and characterized on the basis of elemental analysis and FTIR spectral data. A procedure for the spectrophotometric determination of Pd(II) using para-Cl-phenylazo-R-acid as a new azo chromophore is proposed where it is rapid, sensitive and highly specific. Beer's law was obeyed in the range 0.50-10.00 ppm at pH 5.0-6.0 to form a violet-red complex (epsilon=7.7 x 10(4) l(-1) mol(-1) cm(-1) at lambda(max)=560 nm). Metal ions such as Cu(II), Cr(III), La(III), Yb(III), Y(III), and Rh(III) interfere with the complex. Ammonium salt of trimellitic acid is used to precipitate some of the interfering ions and a scheme for separation of Pd(II) from a synthetic mixture similar in composition to platinum ore or deposit was made.     

The Mechanism of Adsorption of Rh(III) Bromide Complex Ions on Activated Carbon

In the paper, the mechanism of the process of the Rh(III) ions adsorption on activated carbon ORGANOSORB 10—AA was investigated. It was shown, that the process is reversible, i.e., stripping of Rh(III) ions from activated carbon to the solution is also possible. This opens the possibility of industrial recovery of Rh (III) ions from highly dilute aqueous solutions. The activation energies for the forward and backward reaction were determined These are equal to c.a. 7 and 0 kJ/mol. respectively. Unfortunately, the efficiency of this process was low. Obtained maximum load of Rh(III) was equal to 1.13 mg per 1 g of activated carbon.     

Novel functionalised P-ligands: advances and application

The complexation features of the ligands with Rh(III) and Pd(II) were examined and Rh(III) complexes were tested in styrene hydroformylation showing the structure-activity dependence.     

Reduction of carbon monoxide by [(TMTAA)Rh]2 to form a dimetal ketone complex

Benzene solutions of [(TMTAA)Rh](2) (1) react with CO (P(CO) = 0.8-20 atm; T = 298 K) by cleaving the Rh(II)-Rh(II) bond to form dirhodium(III) ketone (TMTAA)Rh-C(O)-Rh(TMTAA) [2; ν(CO) = 1726 cm(-1); (1)J(103)Rh(13)C(O)(103)Rh = 45 Hz]. Thermodynamic values for the reaction of 1 with CO to form 2 were evaluated from equilibrium constant measurements [K(1)(298 K) = 5.0(0.6) × 10(3), ΔG(1)°(298 K) = -5.0(0.1) kcal mol(-1), ΔH(1)° = -14(1) kcal mol(-1), and ΔS(1)° = -30(3) cal K(-1) mol(-1)].     

Catalytic activities of polymer‐supported metal complexes in oxidation of phenol and epoxidation of cyclohexene

The metal complexes of N, N′‐bis (o‐hydroxy acetophenone) propylene diamine (HPPn) Schiff base were supported on cross‐linked polystyrene beads. The complexation of iron(III), copper(II), and zinc(II) ions on polymer‐anchored HPPn Schiff base was 83.4, 85.7, and 84.5 wt%, respectively, whereas the complexation of these metal ions on unsupported HPPn Schiff base was 82.3, 84.5, and 83.9 wt%. The iron(III) complexes of HPPn Schiff base were octahedral in geometry, whereas copper(II) and zinc(II) ions complexes were square planar and tetrahedral. Complexation of metal ions increased the thermal stability of HPPn Schiff base. Catalytic activity of metal complexes was tested by studying the oxidation of phenol and epoxidation of cyclohexene in the presence of hydrogen peroxide. The polymer‐supported HPPn Schiff base complexes of iron(III) ions showed 73.0 wt% conversion of phenol and 90.6 wt% conversion of cyclohexene at a molar ratio of 1:1:1 of substrate to catalyst and hydrogen peroxide, but unsupported complexes of iron(III) ions showed 63.8 wt% conversion for phenol and 83.2 wt% conversion for cyclohexene. The product selectivity for catechol (CTL) and epoxy cyclohexane (ECH) was 93.1 and 98.3 wt%, respectively with supported HPPn Schiff base complexes of iron(III) ions but was lower with HPPn Schiff base complexes of copper(II) and zinc(II) ions. Activation energy for the epoxidation of cyclohexene and phenol conversion with unsupported HPPn Schiff base complexes of iron(III) ions was 16.6 kJ mol^?1 and 21.2 kJ mol^?1, respectively, but was lower with supported complexes of iron(III) ions.

Complexation of Sc(III), Ga(III), In(III) and Ln(III) with Eriochrome Red B

Cyclic linear-sweep voltammetry was used to study the complexation of Sc(III), Ga(III), In(III) and Ln(III) with eriochrome red B (ERB). It was established that all metal ions investigated form complex compounds with azodye having a mole ratio, M(III):ERB = 1:2. The hydroxo forms of M(III) ions, which take part in interaction with ERB, were determined by the Nazarenko method. The stability constants for the formation of these chelates are nearly the same. It was shown that the reduction of the ligand in the complex does not only depend on the peculiarities of complexation, but the processes occurring in pre-electrode layer also influence it.     

顺反构型[Rh(NH3)3Cl]在室温水溶液中的行为兼论铂配合物的抗癌机理及药效

In this paper the behaviour of mer-and fac-(Rh(NH3)3Cl3) in aqueous solution at room temperature is reported. The experimental results show that some obvious differences exist between the properties of mer-and fac-(Rh(NH3)3Cl3) coordination compounds in aqueous solution at room temperature. The fac-(Rh(NH3)3Cl3) is relatively stable, and the mer-(Rh(NH3)3 Cl3) is unstable. When one of its Cl^- is replaced by H2O(RH(NH3)3)(OH)2Cl2)Cl is formed. The mechanism of anti-tumour action of platinum compounds is briefly discussed.     

Charging of silver bromide aqueous interface: Evaluation of enthalpy and entropy of interfacial reactions from surface potential data

Dependence of surface potential (electrostatic potential at the inner Helmholtz plane, Ψ(0)) at the silver bromide aqueous electrolyte interface was measured as a function of the activities of Br(-) and Ag(+) by using a single crystal silver bromide electrode (SCr-AgBr). Absolute values of surface potentials were obtained from electrode potentials of SCr-AgBr and isoelectric points. Measurements were performed at different temperatures in the range from 10 to 50°C. Corresponding equilibrium constants of interfacial reactions were obtained using the surface complexation model and interpreted via the van't Hoff equation. As a result of the interpretation for the binding of bromide ions leading to a negative surface charge, the thermodynamic parameters obtained were Δ(n)H(°)=-33kJmol(-1) and Δ(n)S(°)=-31Jmol(-1)K(-1); and for the binding of silver ions leading to a positive surface charge, Δ(p)H(°)=-72kJmol(-1) and Δ(p)S(°)=-196Jmol(-1)K(-1). Association of counterions (CI) with oppositely charged surface sites partially compensates the surface charge. Assuming approximately the same affinities for anions (NO(3)(-)) and cations (K(+)) thermodynamic parameters for their binding were obtained as Δ(CI)H(°)≈7kJmol(-1) and Δ(CI)S(°)≈105Jmol(-1)K(-1).
