Conductometric study of cationic and anionic complexes in propylene carbonate

Conductivity data are used to determine thermodynamic complex formation constants for cases in which both the initial electrolyte and the complexed electrolyte form ion pairs. Using the method described in the text, the complex formation constants of Li⁺, Na⁺ and K⁺ with the crown ether 18-crown-6 and of Li⁺ with the ligand triphenylphosphine oxide in propylene carbonate have been evaluated from conductance data. The complexation of AgBr in propylene carbonate solutions of n-etrabutylammonium bromide has also been studied by the measurement of molar conductivities. The results of these studies indicate that ion pairing should not be neglected, even in high permittivity solvents such as propylene carbonate, and that the ion pair association constants correlate well with structural studies on cation-crown ether molecular conformations.     

Quantum chemical models of alkali metal hydroxide-water-dimethylsulfoxide superbasic media (MOH-H<Subscript>2</Subscript>O-DMSO,M = Li,Na, K)

Models of alkali metal hydroxide-water-dimethylsulfoxide superbasic media have been constructed using Hartree Fock and DFT (B3LYP) quantum chemical methods; the structure and energies of anion complexes are considered. The hydroxide anion in the models is stabilized as complexes of OH^?·H₂O and OH^?· 2H₂O types.

Thermodynamic properties of electrolyte solutions: An EMF study of the activity coefficients of KCl in the system KCl−KNO3−H2O at 25, 35 and 45°C

Electromotive force measurements were carried out on the system KCl–KNO₃–H₂O at constant total ionic strengths of 0.5, 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 mol-kg^–1 and at 25, 35 and 45°C using a cell consisting of a potassium ionselective electrode and a Ag/AgCl electrode. The Harned coefficients and the Pitzer binary and ternary interaction parameters for the system have been evaluated at each temperature. The osmotic coefficients, excess free energies of mixing and heats of mixing of the system have been predicted at each of the experimental temperatures and ionic strengths. The solubility data at 25°C are also interpreted.     

Crystal structure of dicyclohexano-18-crown-6 potassium 2-nitrophenoxide

The first crystal structure of a potassium cation complex with dicyclohexano-18-crown-6 is reported. The potassium 2-nitrophenoxide complex ofsyn-cis-syn dicyclohexano-18-crown-6 crystallizes in the triclinic space group P with cell constantsa=8.604(2),b=10.772(4),C=16.123(5)Å, =73.86(3)°,=77.61(3)°, =82.68(3)° andZ=2 forD _c =1.31 g cm^–3. Least-squares refinement based on 2742 observed reflections led to a final conventionalR value of 0.040. Dicyclohexano-18-crown-6 has the shape of a saddle with the potassium cation sitting at the saddlepoint. The structure of the 2-nitrophenoxide anion is dominanted by the quinoid resonance contributor. Because the complex is devoid of significant intercomplex interactions, it is a prototypical 1:1:1 complex.

铬(Ⅵ)与谷胱甘肽作用及其中间态配合物形成的电化学表征

本文采用电化学方法，对谷胱甘肽(GSH)与重铬酸钾的相互作用及其中间态配合物的形成过程进行研究。结果表明：在pH=5.6的HAc-NaAc缓冲溶液中，GSH浓度为Cr(Ⅵ)浓度5倍以上时，Cr(Ⅵ)与GSH作用完全并形成一新的中间态配合物，该中间态配合物于+0.21 V和+0.36 V(vs SCE)处产生一对新的氧化还原峰，UV-Vis的吸收光谱进一步证明了中间态配合物的形成。该配合物不稳定，在一定时间内缓慢分解，其电化学与UV-Vis光谱动力学信息同步。进一步探讨了GSH与Cr(Ⅵ)作用的电极反应机理。当Zn(Ⅱ)存在于该体系时，Zn(Ⅱ)对中间态配合物的生成和分解过程起着双向催化作用。

Molecular structure of potassium [N,N′-bis(salicylideneamino)nitroguanidonate-N,N′,-O,O′]nickel(ii), the product of condensation of (salicylideneamino)nitroguanidine with salicylaldehyde on a Ni2+ ion template

The crystal structure of the product of the condensation of (salicylideneamino)nitroguanidine with salicylaldehyde on a Ni²⁺ ion template, K[Ni(C₁₅H₁₀N₅O₄)] · DMF, has been studied. It was established that a planar Ni complex, consisting of isolated [NiL]^– anions and solvated [K⁺ · DMF] cations, is formed. The negative charge of the anion is localized mainly on the O atoms of the nitro group. The nitroguanidine fragment of the ligand occurs in the tautomeric form, which was not reported previously.Deceased in 1995Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

The effect of anions of the supporting electrolyte (F^–, dialkylphosphate, TsO^–, and BF ₄ ^– and other electrolysis conditions (anode material, temperature, substrate concentration) on the selectivity of the direct anodic oxidation ofp-methoxytoluene in methanol into 4-methoxybenzaldehyde dimethylacetal was studied.
