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.     

Complexation of Eu(III), Am(III) and Cm(III) with Dicarboxylates: Thermodynamics and Structural Aspects of the Binary and Ternary Complexes

The complexation of Eu(III), Am(III) and Cm(III) with dicarboxylate anions with O, N or S donor groups was measured in I=6.60 mol⋅kg⁻¹ (NaClO₄) at temperatures of 0–60 °C by potentiometry and solvent extraction. The complexation thermodynamics of these complexes show that their stability is due to highly favorable complexation entropies because the complexation enthalpies are endothermic. Luminescence studies with Eu(III) and Cm(III) were used to measure the hydration numbers of the complexes. NMR spectra of ¹H and ¹³C were used to determine the binding modes of La(III) with the ligands. The formation of 1:1:1 ternary complexes of M(EDTA)⁻ with the dicarboxylate ligands was studied to determine changes in coordination of the metal cation with formation of the ternary species. The complexation of ternary complexes changes from bidentate to monodentate as the chain length between the binding sites of the dicarboxylates increases from 1 (malonate) to 4 (adipate). DFT computations were used to confirm the structural aspects of the interaction of these complexes.     

Liquid secondary ion mass spectrometry of several β-diketonates of cobalt(III) and chromium(III)

The positive, liquid secondary ion (LSI) mass spectra of six cobalt(III) and three chromium(III) (β-diketonates ligand = L^?) were examined in a 3-nitrobenzyl alcohol matrix. The complexes of both metals yield clean, matrix-free mass spectra, but there are important differences between them. The cobalt compounds show prominent peaks assignable to the molecular ion, CoL ₃ ⁺ , of the monomeric chelates, together with abundant dimeric ions, such as Co₂L ₄ ⁺ and Co₂L ₃ ⁺ ; in contrast, chromium complexes show protonated monomers, CrL₃H⁺, in addition to ionized monomers, CrL ₃ ⁺ , and only minor formation of dimeric ions. The collisionally-activated dissociation (CAD) mass spectrum of Co₂L ₄ ⁺ shows fragmentation to CoL ₂ ⁺ and Co₂L ₃ ⁺ . That of Co₂L ₃ ⁺ shows fragmentation only to dimeric ions, including Co₂L ₂ ⁺ and, for thienyl or phenyl substituted ligands, to Co₂L₂Ar⁺ or Co₂LAr⁺ (Ar = thienyl or phenyl). Neither Co₂L ₄ ⁺ nor Co₂L ₃ ⁺ dissociates to the CoL ₃ ⁺ ion. The LSI mass spectrum of a mixture of two different cobalt chelates shows dimeric ions containing both types of ligand, which can be explained by ion-molecule reactions in the selvedge region. The differing behaviors of the cobalt and chromium complexes is attributed to the relatively greater stability of the +2 oxidation state for cobalt than for chromium.     

Syntheses and characterization of η 5-pentamethylcyclopentadienyl rhodium(III) and iridium(III) complexes containing polypyridyls

Reaction of [(η ⁵-C₅Me₅)M(μ-Cl)Cl]₂ {M?=?Rh (1), Ir (2)} and [(η ⁵-C₅Me₅)MCl₂(DBT)] (DBT?=?dibenzothiophene) {M?=?Rh (3), Ir (4)} with polypyridyl ligands 2,3-bis(2-pyridyl)pyrazine (bpp), 2,3-bis(2-pyridyl)quinoxaline (bpq), 1,3,5-tris(2-pyridyl)-2,4,6-triazine (tptz), 2,3,5,6-tetrakis(2-pyridyl)pyrazine (tppz) and 4′-pyridyl-2,2′:6′,2′′-terpyridine (py-terpy) results in the formation of mononuclear cationic complexes, [(η ⁵-C₅Me₅)MCl(poly-py)]⁺ (poly-py?=?polypyridyl ligand). The complexes were isolated as hexafluorophosphate salts and characterized by IR and NMR spectroscopy.     

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.     

Synthesis,characterization, and biocide activity of new dithiocarbamate-based complexes of In(III), Ga(III), and Bi(III) – Part III

In this work, we describe the syntheses, characterization, and antifungal activity of [In{S₂CNR(R¹)}₃] (1), [Ga{S₂CNR(R¹)}₃] (2), [Bi{S₂CNR(R¹)}₃] (3), [In{S₂CNR(R²)}₃] (4), [Ga{S₂CNR(R²)}₃] (5), and [Bi{S₂CNR(R²)}₃] (6) {R?=?Me; R¹?=?CH₂CH(OMe)₂; and R²?=?2-methyl-1,3-dioxolane}. All complexes have been characterized using infrared and ¹H and ¹³C spectroscopy, and the structures of 1, 3, 4, and 6 have been authenticated by X-ray diffraction. The In(III)–dithiocarbamate bonding scheme depicts a distorted octahedral with asymmetric In(III)–S bonds and S–In–S angles. A pentagonal bipyramid is observed for the corresponding Bi(III) complexes with intermolecular Bi–S associations through the lone pair of electrons. The antifungal activities of 1–6 have been screened against Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus parasiticus, and Penicillium citrinum, and the results have been compared with those of nystatin and miconazole nitrate, as control drugs.

Adsorption and Structural Properties of Montmorillonite Pillared by Cr(III) and Cr(III)–Cu(II) Hydroxocomplexes

The sorption and structural parameters and thermal stability of montmorillonite pillared by Cr(III) polyhydroxocomplexes and heteronuclear Cr(III)–Cu(II) polyhydroxocomplexes were investigated. It was shown that the introduction of intercalating Cr(III) and Cr(III)–Cu(II) agents into the montmorillonite increased the value of the first basal reflection (d ₀₀₁) up to 1.85 nm in the first case and up to 1.98 nm, in the second. The dependence of the values of d ₀₀₁and specific surface area on the OH^–/Cr³⁺ratio was found, which is retained during the calcination of the samples up to 500–800°C. The sorption ability of the prepared samples with respect to acetone, ethanol, benzene, toluene, and water was investigated.

Ionic self-diffusion coefficients (D) for trivalent radiotracers, lanthanide and actinide ions have been determined in concentrated aqueous solutions of supporting electrolytes of Gd(NO₃)₃–HNO₃ or Nd(ClO₃)₄–HClO₄ up to 1.5 mol L^?1 at 298.15 K and pH 2.50 by the open-end capillary method. The data obtained in large range of concentrations, allow to derive the limiting value D°, the validity of the Onsager limiting law and a more extended law. This study contributes to demonstrate similarities in transport and structure properties between 4f and 5f trivalent ions explained by a similar electronic configuration, ionic radius and hydration number. An empirical equation is suggested for predicting ionic hydration number with a good precision.     

Synthesis,Spectra and Crystal Structure of Tetrakis(Triphenylarsine Oxide)Iron(III)-μ-Oxo-Tribromoiron(III) Tetrabromoferrate(III)-Acetonitrile

The oxidation of triphenylarsine with dioxygen in reaction systems containing some iron compound and Br^- anions in acetonitrile leads to the formation of a novel unsymmetrical oxo-bridged diiron(III) complex [(OAsPh₃)₄ Fe(μ-O)FeBr₃]⁺ [FeBr₄]^- ·CH₃CN, where OAsPh₃ is triphenylarsine oxide. The title complex is also formed by direct reaction of iron(III) bromide and OAsPh₃ with dioxygen in acetonitrile solution. The crystal structure of the complex was solved by X-ray diffraction techniques. The cation contains two unsymmetrical species with an Fe-O-Fe bond angle of 159.2(2)°; one iron atom is pentacoordinated by four OAsPh₃ ligands and a γ-oxo ligand which connects the tetracoordinated Fe atom with the FeBr₃O chromophore. Structural parameters and IR spectra of similar complexes are compared and discussed.     

Synthesis and Characterization of Chromium(III), Molybdenum(III), Ruthenium(III) and Osmium(III) Complexes with N2O2–Schiff Bases of 2-Hydroxy-1-Naphthaldimines

Monomolybdenum, monochromium, triosmium and triruthenium clusters, containing weakly coordinated ligands, are valuable starting materials for the preparation of a wide variety of compounds because of the ease with which these ligands can be displaced by another substrate under mild conditions. Four widely used complexes of this type are Mo(CO)₆, Cr(CO)₆, Os₃(CO)₁₂ and Ru₃(CO)₁₂ respectively. These complexes react with 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldimines to give octahedral complexes which are characterized by elemental analyses, i.r. and u.v.–vis. spectra, molar conductances, d.t.a. and t.g.a. analyses, cyclic voltammetry, magnetic and e.s.r. measurements. The molar conductances in DMF solution indicate that the complexes are non-ionic. The i.r. spectra of complexes (3), (7) and (10) show (CO) bands due to bonded CO groups, however complexes (6) and (13) show (CO) bands due to bonded, bridged and terminal CO groups. The g ₁₁-values of the complexes indicate that they have covalent bond character. Also, the electrochemical reduction of the complexes has been discussed.     

Liquid–liquid extraction of neodymium (III) and europium (III) using synergic mixture of furosemide and tribenzylamine in benzyl alcohol

The extraction behavior of Nd(III) and Eu(III) with 0.05 mol dm⁻³ furosemide in benzyl alcohol as single acidic extractant and then with equimolar (0.05 mol dm⁻³) synergic mixture of furosemide as acidic extractant and tribenzylamine as neutral donor in benzyl alcohol has been studied from aqueous solutions of pH 1 to 6. The effect of various parameters and of various cations and anions on the extraction of these metal ions was investigated. The composition of the extracted adducts was determined by slope analysis method that came out to be [(M(FS)₂)⁺ (CH₃COO)⁻] and [M(FS)₃·3TBA] where M = Nd(III) and Eu(III).

A novel mixed-ligand complexes with empirical formulae: Ln(4-bpy)_1.5(CCl₃COO)₃·nH₂O (where Ln(III) = Pr, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb; n = 1 for Pr, Sm, Eu and n = 3 for Gd, Tb; 4-bpy = 4,4′-bipyridine) were prepared and characterized by chemical, elemental analysis and IR spectroscopy. Conductivity studies (in methanol, dimethylformamide and dimethylsulfoxide) were also described. All complexes are crystalline. The way of metal–ligand coordination was discussed. The thermal properties of complexes in the solid state were studied under non-isothermal conditions in air atmosphere. During heating the complexes decompose via intermediate products to the oxides: Pr₆O₁₁, Ln₂O₃ (for Sm, Eu, Gd) and Tb₄O₇. TG-MS system was used to analyze principal volatile thermal decomposition and fragmentation products evolved during pyrolysis of Pr(III) and Sm(III) compounds in air.     

Viscosity of Potassium Trioxalato Complexes of Al(III), Fe(III), Co(III), and Cr(III) in Aqueous Solution Between 15° and 35°C

The viscosity of dilute aqueous solutions of K₃[AI(ox)₃]·3H₂O, K₃[Fe(ox)₃]·3H₂O, K₃[Co(ox)₃]·3H₂O, and K₃[Cr(ox)₃]·3H₂O complexes, as well as K₂(ox)·H₂O, were measured between 15 and 35°C. Those of CoCl₂, 6H₂O, FeCl₃, A1₂(SO₄)₃·18H₂O, and CrCl₃·6H₂O were measured at 25°C. These data were analyzed by the Jones–Dole equation. The ionic B coefficients of the above complex anions were discussed in terms of ion–solvent interactions and the overall change in B associated with complex formation.     

Kinetics and mechanism of the anation of (αβ)-hydroxo(tetraethylenepentamine)cobalt(III) by thiosulfate, the base hydrolysis of the (sulfur-bonded) thiosulfato(tetraethylenepentamine)-cobalt(III) and photochemistry of oxygen and sulfur-bonded thiosulfato complexes

Summary The reaction of ()-(tetren)CoOH²⁺ with S₂O ₃ ^2- in the 7.25–8.28 pH range at 20–40 °C yielded S- (yellow) and O- (purple) bonded thiosulfato(tetren)cobalt(III) complexes, the former in larger quantities. The rate determining step is preceded by diffusion-controlled ion-pair [(tetren)CoOH²⁺,S₂O ₃ ^2- ] formation. Replacement of coordinated OH^- by S₂O ₃ ^2- is interpreted in terms of an internal conjugate base mechanism: (tetren)CoOH²⁺ (tetren-H)CoOH ₂ ²⁺ , the reactive amido conjugate base being generated by intramolecular proton transfer from the coordinated NH site.In acid medium the S-bonded (tetren)Co(S₂O₃)⁺ is highly stable to redox decomposition, in contrast to its pentaammine analogue. The complex however, undergoes base hydrolysis yielding the corresponding hydroxo complex. The rate and activation parameters for the base hydrolysis have been reported. Photolysis of O- and S-bonded isomers of [(tetren)CoS₂O₃]⁺ in acidic medium at 254 and 313 nm, respectively, yielded aquation products accompanied by some decomposition of S₂O ₃ ^2- .     

σ-Bonded organometallic derivatives of yttrium(III) and thulium(III): An unusual ligand coupling reaction mediated by thulium(III)

The reaction between LnI₃(THF)_3.5 and 2 equiv. of {(Me₃Si)₂(Me₂MeOSi)C}K (1) in THF at room temperature yields only the mono-substituted products {(Me₃Si)₂(Me₂MeOSi)C}LnI₂(THF)₂ [Ln = Y (5), Tm (6)]; under more forcing conditions decomposition occurs. In contrast, the metathesis reaction between TmI₃(THF)_3.5 and 2 equiv. of the lithium iodide-containing salt {(Me₃Si)₂(Me₂MeOSi)C}K(LiI)_x yields the highly unusual separated ion pair complex [[{(Me₃Si)₂C(SiMe₂)}₂O]TmI₂{Li(THF)₃}₂][[{(Me₃Si)₂C(SiMe₂)}₂O]TmI₂] (8). The dianionic ligand in 8 is derived from the coupling of 2 equiv. of (Me₃Si)₂(Me₂MeOSi)C⁻, accompanied by the formal elimination of Me₂O. The structures of compounds 5, 6, and 8 have been determined by X-ray crystallography; compound 8 crystallizes as an unusual ion pair, the cation and anion of which differ only in the inclusion of 2 equiv. of Li(THF)₃ in the former, bridged to thulium by iodide ions.

Reaction of dimers [M(η⁵-C₅Me₅)Cl₂]₂ (M-Rh, Ir) with quinolin-8-ol in molar ratio 1:2 leads to formation of monomer complexes [Rh(η⁵-C₅Me₅)Cl(qol)] (1) and [Ir(η⁵-C₅Me₅)Cl(qol)] (2) (qol = quinolin-8-olate). Compounds 1 and 2 have been characterized with elemental analysis and spectroscopic methods. ¹H NMR spectra revealed that quinolin-8-olate is coordinated via oxygen and nitrogen atoms. The ¹H NMR and ¹³C NMR spectra showed that carbon and hydrogen atoms of pentamethylcyclopentadienyl ligand are equivalent. The structure of rhodium complex has been calculated using DFT B3LYP method. The calculated geometry of complex 1 agrees very well with data found for rhodium complexes containing Cl, C₅Me₅ and qol ligands. Both complexes are active antitumor and antibacterial agents.
