Synthesis of N—（4—Salicylideneiminoaryl）monoaza Crown Ethers and Dioxygen Affinities of Their Cobalt（Ⅱ）Complexes

The Schiff base‐containing pendant monoaza crown ether HL¹, HL², HL³ and HL⁴ have been synthesized by condensation of salicylaldehyde with N‐(4‐aminoaryl) monoaza crown ethers, which were prepared conveniently from 4‐nitro‐N, N‐di(hydroxyethyl) aniline or 4‐nitrobenzyl chloride via cyclization or condensation and reduction. The structures of HL¹—HL⁴ were verified by ¹H NMR, IR spectra, MS and elemental analysis. Moreover, the oxygenation constants (KO2) and thermodynamic parameters (δH⁰ and δS⁰) of their cobalt(II) complexes were determined in the range of ?5 °C to 25 °C, and the effect of crown ring bonded to a Schiff base on the dioxygen affinities of cobalt(II) complexes was also observed as compared to the uncrowned analogue (CoL).     

Synthesis of [TpRu(CO)(PPh3)]2(μ-CHCHCHCHC6H4CHCHCHCH) from Wittig reactions

Treatment of [Ru(CHCHCH₂PPh₃)X(CO)(PPh₃)₂]⁺ (X=Cl, Br) with KTp (Tp=hydridotris(pyrazolyl)borate) and NaBPh₄ produced [TpRu(CHCHCH₂PPh₃)(CO)(PPh₃)]BPh₄. Reaction of RuHCl(CO)(PPh₃)₃ with HCCCH(OEt)₂ produced Ru(CHCHCH(OEt)₂)Cl(CO)(PPh₃)₂, which reacted with KTp to give TpRu(CHCHCHO)(CO)(PPh₃). Treatment of [TpRu(CHCHCH₂PPh₃)(CO)(PPh₃)]BPh₄ with NaN(SiMe₃)₂ and benzaldehyde produced TpRu(CHCHCHCHPh)(CO)(PPh₃). The later complex was also produced when TpRu(CHCHCHO)(CO)(PPh₃) was treated with PhCH₂PPh₃Cl/NaN(SiMe₃)₂. The bimetallic complex [TpRu(CO)(PPh₃)]₂(μ-CHCHCHCHC₆H₄CHCHCHCH) was obtained from the reaction of [TpRu(CHCHCH₂PPh₃)(CO)(PPh₃)]BPh₄ with NaN(SiMe₃)₂ and terephthaldicarboxaldehyde.     

Hydrogenation of xylenes over supported Pt catalysts. Influence of different variables on their catalytic activity

In this work we studied and compared the catalytic activity of various supported Pt systems on the gas-phase hydrogenation of o-, m- and p-xylene. We analyzed the influence of different catalyst preparation variables (solvent, precursor, salt, support and catalyst reduction temperature used) on the catalytic activity and selectivity towards the corresponding cis-and trans-dimethylcyclohexanes.

Synthesis and characterization of MCM-48 tubular membranes

MCM-48 membranes have been prepared on alumina supports of different pore sizes. A battery of characterization techniques has been used to study the physical properties and the quality of the membranes prepared. The highest quality membranes were prepared on supports with pore size of up to 60 nm. The MCM-48 membranes were tested in the separation of gas phase mixtures and a cyclohexane/O₂ selectivity higher than 270 was obtained. The selective separation of organic compounds from inert components is a result of the cooperative effects of capillary condensation in MCM-48 pores and of the specific interactions of the permeating compounds and the membrane material.     

Determination of Inorganic Ions in Fertilizer Industry Wastewater by Ion Chromatography

The aim of this work is development of methodology for analysis of inorganic cations (sodium, ammonium, potassium, magnesium and calcium) in fertilizer industry wastewater. Method development includes optimization of eluent flow rate and concentration of eluent competing ion in order to obtain optimal separation within reasonable analysis time. For that purpose artificial neural network retention model was developed and used in combination with normalized resolution product criteria function. Developed artificial neural network retention model shows good predictive ability R² ≥ 0.9983. The determined ion chromatographic parameters enable baseline separation of all components of interest. By performing validation procedure and number of statistical tests it is shown that developed ion chromatographic method has superior performance characteristic: linearity R² ≥ 0.9984, recovery = 99.81% − 99.44%, repeatability RSD ≤ 0.52%. That result proves that proposed method can be used for routine monitoring analysis in fertilizer industry.     

Synthesis,Structure and Reactivity of [1, 2‐Bis(diphenylphosphinite)ethane]bromotricarbonylmanganese(I) with Reactions of Phosphites,Phosphonites. and Phosphinites

The manganese carbonyl complex [MnBr(CO)₃ L ] ( 1 ), where L = Ph₂POCH₂CH₂OPPh₂, was prepared by reacting [MnBr(CO)₅] with the bidentate ligand 1, 2‐Bis(diphenylphosphinite)ethane. From this compound and the appropriate phosphite, phosphinite or phosphonite ligands were synthesized the complexes [MnBr(CO)₂ LL ′], where L ′ = P(OMe)₃ ( 2 ) or P(OEt)₃ ( 3 ) and [MnBr(CO)₃ L ′₂], where L ′ =PPh(OEt)₂ ( 4 ) or PPh₂(OEt) ( 5 ). The obtained compounds have been characterized by elemental analysis, mass spectrometry, IR and NMR (¹H, ¹³C and ³¹P) spectroscopies and X‐ray diffractometry for the complexes 1 , 4 and 5 .     

Determination of cadmium,aluminium, and copper in beer and products used in its manufacture by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry

Procedures were developed for determining cadmium, aluminium, and copper in beer and the products used in its manufacture by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry. Beer samples were injected into the furnace and solid samples were introduced as suspensions after preparation in a medium containing hydrogen peroxide, nitric acid, and ammonium dihydrogen phosphate for cadmium atomization. Calibration was performed with aqueous standards, and characteristic masses and detection limits were, respectively, 1 and 0.3 pg for cadmium, 18 and 5.4 pg for aluminium, and 5.6 and 6.8 pg for copper. Different samples of beer, wort, brewer's yeast, malt, raw grain, and hops were analyzed by the proposed procedures. Cadmium was found in low concentrations (0.001-0.08 microg/g and 0-1.3 ng/mL); copper (3-13 microg/g and 25-137 ng/mL) and aluminium (0.6-9 microg/g and 0.1-2 microg/mL) were found at higher levels. The reliability of the procedure was confirmed by comparing the results obtained with others based on microwave oven sample digestion, and by analyzing several certified reference materials.

Rapid determination of lead, cadmium and thallium in cements using electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry with slurry sample introduction

 A method is proposed for the determination of Pb, Cd and Tl in cements by ETAAS. The samples are suspended in a medium containing 10% v/v ethanol and 1% v/v both conc. nitric and hydrofluoric acids and are directly introduced into the electrothermal atomizer. The drying stage is performed by programming a 400 °C temperature, a ramp time of 5 s and a hold time of 30 s on the power supply to the atomizer. No ashing step is used. Atomization is carried out at 2100, 1800 and 1700 °C for Pb, Cd and Tl, respectively. For Cd determination, ammonium dihydrogen phosphate is added to the suspension medium. No modifier other than hydrofluoric acid is required for the Pb and Tl determination. It is shown that the results obtained by using direct calibration with aqueous standards for five commercial samples agree with those found by means of the standard additions method.
