Über die Hydrolyse von Eisen(III)-Salz-Lösungen. II Die Alterung der Hydrolyseprodukte

On the Hydrolysis of Iron (III) Salt Solutions. II. Ageing of Hydrolysis Products The long time ageing up to 15 years of the products obtained by alkalifying iron(III) chloride solutions to different neutralisation degrees has been studied. The concentration of the Fe³⁺ and the Cl- ions, the strength of the alkali, and the rate of its addition influence the results. Slow alkalifying produced up to 90% neutralisation β-FeOOH. The transformation of the amorphous iron(III) oxidehydroxide to β-FeOOH was promoted by a high concentration of the Cl- ions. When a large amount of amorphous iron(III) oxidehydroxide was formed, intimately intergrown crystals of α- and β-FeOOH resulted. On further ageing β-FeOOH transformed into α-FeOOH. At a degree of neutralisation of 95 and 100% transformation of the amorphous iron(III) oxidehydroxide into α-Fe₂O₃ occurred. The 100% neutralized precipitate, however, remained partly amorphous. Authors discuss the factors that determine very slow reactions leading to these results.     

Eisen(II)-carbonat als Ausgangsmaterial zur Herstellung von röntgenamorphem Eisen(III)-hydroxid sowie von γ-FeOOH und α-FeOOH

X-ray amorphous iron(III) hydroxide is formed on treating FeCO₃ with H₂O₂. However, oxidation of freshly precipitated FeCO₃ by means of air yields — in the absence of foreign cations — γ-FeOOH and α-FeOOH. The latter is obtainable in the pure state provided that FeCO₃ is air-oxidised in alkaline medium (excess of Na₂CO₃).     

Über die Bildung von röntgenamorphem Eisen(III)-hydroxid durch Luftoxydation von Eisen(II)-hydroxid und Eisen(II)-carbonat

In the presence of certain foreign cations (Ca²⁺, Mg²⁺), amorphous iron(III) hydroxide may be obtained from Fe^II hydroxide or carbonate by air oxidation.     

Die Reaktion von Eisen(III) mit Brenzkatechin-3,5-disulfonsäure (Tiron) und Äthylendiamintetraessigsäure

The Reaction of Iron(III) with Catechol-3,5-Disulphonic Acid (Tiron) and Ethylene Diamine-Tetracetic Acid In the system iron(III)-Tiron-EDTA a ternary chelate could be detected besides the well known complexes in a weak acid solution. By means of spectro-photometric measurements under various conditions (concentration of ligands) we found [FeHYL]^4? with λ_max = 555 nm und ε₅₅₅ = 2500 l · mol^?1 · cm^?1. The formation of the ternary chelate is an inner-complex reaction of displacing, in which donor atoms of the EDTA in FeY^? are replaced by Tiron. By graphic methods the equilibrium constants could be calculated from the measurements.     

Zur Kenntnis der künstlichen Alterung aluminiumhaltiger Eisen(III)-hydroxide

Study of the ageing process of amorphous ferric hydroxide has shown that the presence of traces of Al³⁺ can drastically change the course of the reaction under certain conditions. Al³⁺ traces delay crystallization, an effect which is dependant on the pH of the solution in which the originally amorphous gel is boiled. With increasing pH they favour the formation of the α-F₂O₃-phase, whereby the α-FeOOH modification, the formation of which should otherwise be favoured by the dehydrative conditions employed, is not formed at all. Inhibition of the formation of the α-FeOOH phase is already crystallographically detectable at a molar ratio of Al₂O₃/Fe₂O₃=0.001. The complete disappearance of this phase at pH=10 of the ageing medium is found at the molar ratio Al₂O₃/Fe₂O₃=0.03. At higher Al³⁺ concentrations the amorphous gel is converted into α-Fe₂O₃. In the range 10–20 mol% Al₂O₃, crystallization is strongly inhibited. Further increase in the Al³⁺ content favours the formation of Bayerite-phase, which then at 50 mol% Al predominantes, alongside poorly crystalline α-Fe₂O₃. For Al₂O₃/Fe₂O₃=0.55, three phases are present, hydrohematite, bayerite and boehmite. With still greater amounts of Al³⁺ only the boehmite modification is found. By stepwise crystallographic study of the progressive dehydration the duration of reaction has been established for ferric hydroxide both in the pure state and when doped with Al³⁺.     

Hydrolyse und Halogenidaustausch von Pentahalogenomonocarbonylosmaten(III)

Hydrolysis and Halide Exchange of Pentahalogenomonocarbonyl Osmates(III) The aquo complexes [OsX₄(CO)(H₂O)]^?, [OsX₃(CO)(H₂O)] and [OsX₂(CO)(H₂O)₃]⁺, X ? Cl, Br, I, produced by the stepwise hydrolysis of [OsX₅(CO)]^2?, are isolated as pure solutions by ionophoresis and characterized by their absorption spectra. Due to stability of the monaquo complexes and the different trans-effect of the halides it is possible to prepare the mixed complexes [OsX_4–nY_n(CO)(H₂O)]^?, X ≠ Y = Cl, Br, I, n = 1–3, and for n = 2 the pure stereoisomers are formed. A systematic shift is found in charge-transfer bands to the shorter wavelengths when the halides are replaced by H₂O, I by Br or Cl and Br by Cl.     

Gemischt-Ligand-Komplexe von Eisen(III) mit Brenzkatechin-3,5- disulfonsäure (Tiron) und Thiocyanat in wäßriger Lösung

Mixed-Ligand complexes of Iron(III) with Pyrocatechol-3,5- disulfonie Acid (Tiron) and Thiocyanate in Aqueous Solution In the system iron(III), tiron, thiocyanate two ternary complexes could be detected in acid solution. By spectrophotometric measurements we found the species [Fe(Tiron)(SCN)(H₂O)₃]^2? and [Fe(Tiron)₂(SCN)(H₂O)]^6?. The formation and the optical properties (^λmax,^? max) are discussed.     

Mössbauer and infrared spectrometric studies of some iron(III) precipitates

The composition of iron(III) precipitates prepared by different methods was investigated by Mossbauer and infrared spectrometry. The principal constituents were identified as α-FeOOH, β-FeOOH, α-Fe₂O₃, and the van der Giessen precipitate, α-Fe₂O₃· nH₂O. Effects of chloride ion and formic acid on the products of precipitation were studied.     

Die durch die Anwesenheit von Eisen(III)-ionen bedingten Phasengleichgewichte kristalliner Aluminiumhydroxide des Nordstrandits,Hydrargillits und Bayerits

The investigation of ageing processes of coprecipitated aluminium and iron hydroxides—Al_0,5Fe_0,5(OH)₃, initially amorphous, reveals the major influence of Fe³⁺-ions on the transformation steps among the aluminium hydroxides.By combined X-ray and IR examination it has been found that the ageing of amorphous aluminium hydroxide in the presence of iron ions leads to the surprising coexistence of all known, well defined crystalline trihydroxide species of aluminium, namely nordstrandite, gibbsite and bayerite. Iron ions for their part transform from amorphous stage of hydroxide at the beginning into hydrohematite.The change in temperature orpH conditions of the milieu, or the change of both the parameters results in only one or two modifications from those aluminium hydroxides mentioned above.

     

Mercaptokomplexe von Indium(III)

The complexes of In(III) with thioglycolate (HO? CH₂? CH₂? S^?) have been investigated by pH-metric methods. Only the mononuclear species In(SR)_n(3-n)+ (n = 1, 2, 3, 4) are formed (Fig. 1): It was difficult to obtain an accurate value for the first stability constant K₁ because of the high stability of the 1:1-complex and therefore mixtures of KCl-KNO₃ were used to keep up the ionic strength of μ = 0.1. In presence of chloride, the constants K_n are smaller because of the formation of chloro complexes and mixed complexes In(SR)_nCl_i(3-n-1)+ and the stability constants of these have also been determined. The constants for the complexes without coordinated chloride can finally be obtained by an extrapolation (Fig. 2). The problem of the influence of increasing charge on the stability of various complexes of the isoelectronic 4d¹⁰ cations is discussed (Fig. 3).     

A mixed‐valence iron complex of the antitumour drug 6‐mercaptopurine: tris(6‐mercaptopurine)iron(II) tetrachloroferrate(III) chloride

Single crystals of the title complex, tris(1,6‐di­hydro‐9H‐purine‐6‐thione‐N⁷,S)­iron(II) tetra­chloro­ferrate(III) chloride, [Fe(C₅H₄N₄S)₃][FeCl₄]Cl, were grown on the surface of solid 6‐mercaptopurine monohydrate pellets in a solution of iron(III) chloride. The solution of the hexagonal structure required the application of twin refinement techniques. All the component ions lie on threefold rotation axes. The complex contains distorted octahedral [Fe(C₅H₄N₄S)₃]²⁺ cations with three N7/S6‐chelating neutral 6‐mercaptopurine ligands, tetrahedral [FeCl₄]^? anions with a mean Fe—Cl distance of 2.189 (1) Å, and free chloride ions.     

Untersuchung von Hydrolysereaktionen zum Aufbau von Eisen(III)‐Oxo‐Aggregaten

Investigation of the Hydrolytic Build‐up of Iron(III)‐Oxo‐Aggregates The synthesis and structures of five new iron/hpdta complexes [{Fe^III₄(μ‐O)(μ‐OH)(hpdta)₂(H₂O)₄}₂Fe^II(H₂O)₄]·21H₂O ( 2 ), (pipH₂)₂[Fe₂(hpdta)₂]·8H₂O ( 4 ), (NH₄)₄[Fe₆(μ‐O)(μ‐OH)₅(hpdta)₃]·20.5H₂O ( 5 ), (pipH₂)_1.5[Fe₄(μ‐O)(μ‐OH)₃(hpdta)₂]·6H₂O ( 7 ), [{Fe₆(μ₃‐O)₂(μ‐OH)₂(hpdta)₂(H₄hpdta)₂}₂]·py·50H₂O ( 9 ) are described and the formation of these is discussed in the context of other previously published hpdta‐complexes (H₅hpdta = 2‐Hydroxypropane‐1, 3‐diamine‐N, N, N′, N′‐tetraacetic acid). Terminal water ligands are important for the successive build‐up of higher nuclearity oxy/hydroxy bridged aggregates as well as for the activation of substrates such as DMA and CO₂. The formation of the compounds under hydrolytic conditions formally results from condensation reactions. The magnetic behaviour can be quantified analogously up to the hexanuclear aggregate 5 . The iron(III) atoms in 1 ‐ 7 are antiferromagnetically coupled giving rise to S = 0 spin ground states. In the dodecanuclear iron(III) aggregate 9 we observe the encapsulation of inorganic ionic fragments by dimeric{M₂hpdta}‐units as we recently reported for Al^III/hpdta‐system.     

Sorptionseffekte an Eisen(III)-hydroxid-F?llungen

Zusammenfassung Um Material zur Deutung des Mechanismus der Sorption von Sr²⁺-Ionen an Eisen(III)-hydroxid zu gewinnen, werden Meßreihen mitgeteilt, in denen die pH-Abhängigkeit der Sorption sowie deren Beeinflussung bei Fällung mit verschiedenen Basen (NaOH, Ammoniak, Trimethylamin, Benzylamin) untersucht wird. Aus den charakteristischen Unterschieden der Sorptionskurven muß gefolgert werden, daß die Art der Base für die Sorption eine wichtige Rolle spielt.

---

Summary The sorption of Sr²⁺ ions on iron(III) hydroxide was studied as a function of the pH, of the precipitating reagent (NaOH, ammonium hydroxide, benzylamine, trimethylamine), of the temperature and of the total concentration.The curves of the relative sorption vs. pH are found to show characteristic differences which have to be explained in a detailed theory of the mechanism.

     

Über kristallines Chrom(III)hydroxid. I

When hydroxide ions are added to a solution of Cr(H₂O)₆³⁺ ions at low temperature a well crystallized chromium hydroxide hydrate is formed, corresponding to the formula [Cr(OH)₃-(H₂O)₃]_∞. Its structure is the inverse of bayerite type, two thirds of the octahedral M³⁺ positions being vacant. It loses water easily and turns into a totally amorphous hydroxide of variable water content. An amorphous hydroxide is also obtained when solutions are alkalized at higher temperatures or when aged solutions (containing polynuclear complexes) are used.     

Darstellung,Eigenschaften und elektronische Raman-Spektren von Bis(chloro)phthalocyaninatoferrat(III), -ruthenat(III) und -osmat(III)

Preparation, Properties and Electronic Raman Spectra of Bis(chloro)-phthalocyaninatoferrate(III), -ruthenate(III) and -osmate(III) Bis(chloro)phthalocyaninatometalates of Fe^III, Ru^III and Os^III [MCl₂Pc(2-)]^?, with an electronic low spin ground state are formed by the reaction of [FeClPc(2-)] resp. H[MX₂Pc(2?)] (M = Ru, Os; X = Cl, I) with excess chloride in weakly coordinating solvents (DMF, THF) and are isolated as (n-Bu₄N) salts. The asym. M? Cl stretch (ν_as(MCl)) is observed in the f.i.r. at 288 cm^?1 (Fe), 295 cm^?1 (Ru), 298 cm^?1 (Os), ν_as(MN) at 330 cm^?1 (Fe), 327 cm^?1 (Ru), and 317 cm^?1 (Os); only ν_s(OsCl) at 311 cm^?1 is resonance Raman (r.r.) enhanced with blue excitation. The m.i.r. and FT-Raman spectra are typical for hexacoordinated phthalocyanines of tervalent metal ions. The UV-vis spectra show besides the characteristic π-π* transitions (B, Q, N, L band) of the Pc ligand a number of extra bands at 12–15 kK and 18–24 kK due to trip-doublet and (Pc→M)CT transitions. The effect of metal substitution is discussed. The r.r. spectra obtained by excitation between the B and Q band (λ₀ = 476.5 nm) are dominated by the intraconfigurational transition Γ₇ Γ ₈ arrising from the spin-orbit splitting of the electronic ground state for Fe^III at 536 cm^?1, for Ru^III at 961 cm^?1 and Os^III at 3 028 cm^?1. Thus the spin-orbit coupling constant increases very greatly down the iron group: Fe^III (357 cm^?1)< Ru^III (641 cm^?1)< Os^III (2 019 cm^?1). The Γ₇ Γ ₈-transition is followed by a very pronounced vibrational finestructure being composed in the r.r. spectra by the coupling with ν_s(MCl), δ(MClN) and the most intense fundamental vibrations of the Pc ligand. In absorption only vibronically induced transitions are observed for the Ru and Os complex at 1 700-2800 rsp. 3100-5800 em^?1 instead of the 0-0 phonon transitions. The most intense lines are attributed to combinations of the intense odd vibrational mo-des at ≈ 740 and 1120 cm^?1 with ν₅(MCI), δ(MClN).     

The mass spectra of 1,1,1-trichloro-2,4-pentanedione and its Al(III), Cr(III), Fe(III), Mn(II), Co(II) and Cu(II) complexes

The compounds 1,1,1-trichloro-2,4-pentanedione, Cu(II)tca₂, Co(II)tca₂, Mn(II)tca₂, Al(III)tca₃, Cr(III)tca₃ and Fe(III)tca₃ (tca?1,1,1-trichloro-2,4-pentanedionato, [CCl₃COCHCOCH₃]^?) have been prepared and their mass spectra have been obtained. The mass spectral results have been compared with findings for comparable fluorinated and nonhalogenated compounds. Comparisons are made in terms of internal redox reactions and hard and soft acid base theory. Rearrangement of chloride from ligand to metal accompanied by the elimination of CO or other neutral even electron fragments emerges as an important reaction for the ions of these compounds. While the internal redox reactions characteristic of all previous β-diketonate complex mass spectra still occur, their importance appears reduced to some degree by the facility of the chlorine rearrangement.     

Novel Bromide PVC‐Based Membrane Sensor Based on Iron(III)‐Salen

A novel bromide PVC‐based membrane sensor, based on iron(III)‐salen (IS) as an electroactive material, is successfully developed. The sensor possesses the advantages of low detection limit (6.0×10^?6), wide working concentration range (7.0×10^?6–1.0×10^?1 M), Nernstian behavior (slope of 59.0±0.5 mV per decade), low response time (<15 s), wide working pH range (3–9), and specially, high bromide selectivity over a wide variety of organic and inorganic anions, specially iodide, chloride, and hydroxide ions. The electrode was used in the direct potentiometric determination of hyoscine butylbromide, and as an indicator electrode in potentiometric titration of bromide ions with silver ions.     

Die Bildung von kristallinem Böhmit in gemeinsam gefällten AlFe(III)-Hydroxiden unter hydrothermalen Bedingungen

Under mild hydrothermal conditions originally amorphous aluminium hydroxide coprecipitated with iron(III)ions as Al_0,5Fe_0,5(OH)₃ transforms into aluminium hydroxide crystalline phases which are not observed in products of ageing of pure aluminium hydroxide.By X-ray diffraction analysis, IR spectroscopic studies and microscopic observations it has been found that due to the presence of iron(III) hydroxide it is possible to stabilize the trihydoxide of aluminium i.e. bayerite until 130–140°C. Moreover, with increasing temperature well crystallized boehmite is obtained instead of the usually formed pseudoboehmite.Experiments revealed that the formation of crystalline boehmite does not take place as a process of pseudoboehmit crystallites growth but only as a result of bayeriteboehmite transformation.

     

Dimere low-spin Eisen(III)-Phthalocyanine: Synthese und Eigenschaften ferromagnetisch gekoppelter μ-Oxodi(acidophthalocyaninatoferrate(III))

Dimeric Low-Spin Iron(III) Phthalocyanines: Synthesis and Properties of Ferromagnetically Coupled μ-Oxodi(acidophthalocyaninatoferrates(III)) μ-Oxodi(phthalocyaninatoiron(III)) ([(FePc^2?)₂O]) dissolved in pyridine reacts with different Tetra(n-butyl)ammonium salts yielding partly solvated Di(tetra(n-butyl)ammonium)-μ-oxodi(acidophthalocyaninatoferrates(III)) ((ⁿBu₄N)₂[(Fe(X)Pc^2?)₂O]; X^? = CN^?, Im^?, NCO^?, NCS^?, NO₂^?). The uv-vis. spectra show the typical B, Q, N and L regions of the Pc^2? ligand scarcely influenced by the axial ligands X. In comparison with [(FePc^2?)₂O] mainly the B region is hypsochromically shifted due to strong excitonic coupling (> 3 kK). Two regions of weak absorbance at ca. 7.6–8.7 and 11.4–13.0 kK are assigned to trip-doublet transitions. The m.i.r. and resonance Raman spectra are dominated by the fundamental vibrations of the Pc^2? ligand being characteristic for hexa-coordinated low-spin Fe^III phthalocyanines. Internal vibrations of the ambident axial ligands X are in accordance with the proposed Fe? X bond. The i.r. active asym. (Fe? O? Fe) stretching vibration is observed in the region 631–690 cm^?1. Fe? X stretching vibrations are only present in the f.i.r. spectra. The magnetic properties and Mößbauer spectra are interpreted in terms of an electronic model which assumes that a S′ = 1 ground state arises from strong ferromagnetic coupling of the low-spin Fe^III centres. Both spin-Hamiltonian and ligand-field models have been employed to fit the variable temperature susceptibility data. These low-spin μ-oxo Fe^III dimers are rare compared to the many known examples of coupled high-spin species including the parent, [(FePc^2?)₂O].     

Nano size crystals of goethite, α-FeOOH: Synthesis and thermal transformation

An aqueous suspension of amorphous iron(III) hydroxide was kept at room temperature (298 K) for 23 years. During this period of time the pH of the liquid phase changed from 4.3 to 2.85, and nano size crystals of goethite, α-FeOOH crystallised from the amorphous iron(III) hydroxide. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) investigations, Mössbauer spectra, and powder X-ray diffraction using Co Kα radiation showed that the only iron containing crystalline phase present in the recovered product was α-FeOOH. The size of these nano particles range from 10 to 100 nm measured by TEM. The thermal decomposition of α-FeOOH was investigated by time-resolved in situ synchrotron radiation powder X-ray diffraction and the data showed that the sample of α-FeOOH transformed to α-Fe₂O₃ in the temperature range 444-584 K. A quantitative phase analysis shows the increase in scattered X-ray intensity from α-Fe₂O₃ to follow the decrease of intensity from α-FeOOH in agreement with the topotactic phase transition.
