Syntheses,Crystal Structures and Antibacterial Activities of Complexes [（C_9H_（18）NS_2）_3M（Ⅲ）]（M = Sb and Bi）

Two novel complexes,[(C9H18NS2)3Sb(III)](1) and [(C9H18NS2)3Bi(III)](2),were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis,IR,TG and X-ray single-crystal diffraction.Both 1 and 2 crystallize in the monoclinic system,P21/c space group.The data for 1:a = 1.6964(3),b = 1.02149(17),c = 2.5650(3) nm,β = 121.824(8)°,Z = 4,V = 3.7766(10) nm3,Dc = 1.293 g·cm-3,F(000) = 1536,μ = 1.082 mm-1,the final R = 0.0500,wR = 0.1562 and S =1.072.The data for 2:a = 1.6802(9),b = 1.0256(6),c = 2.5083(10) nm,β = 121.77(3)°,Z = 4,V = 3.675(3) nm3,Dc = 1.486 g·cm-3,F(000) = 1664,μ = 5.159 mm-1,the final R = 0.0481,wR = 0.1055 and S =1.076.The coordinated geometry of the central M(III) with six sulfur atoms from three ligands is a distorted pentagonal pyramid configuration.The dimer structural system is formed by the weak interactions of M…S and C-H…S between two molecules.The complexes were valued for their antibacterial activities by agar-streak method.It was found that 1 is active against the four test bacterial organisms.     

Flow Injection Potentiometric Determination of Coke Acidity and Acetic Acid Content in Vinegar Using an Antimony Electrode

Abstract

A flow injection potentiometric procedure is proposed for the determination of acidity of several samples using an antimony/ antimony oxide electrode. The ΔE/pH curve in phosphate buffer solutions in the pH range from 1.58 to 12.00 showed a linear sub-Nernstian behavior with an operational slope S =-42.1mV/pH_c and a conditional standard potential of 264.8mV. This flow potentiometric electrode responds linearly to low acidity variations of dilute acetic acid solutions from 3.16 to 100mM with a slope of 30.1mV/dec and analytical frequency of 23 results/h. Good reproducibility and an average standard deviation of ±0.5% was obtained. The application of this sensor for the determination of coke acidity and acetic acid in vinegar is reported.     

Ion-Selective Electrodes for the Determination of Antimony and Thallium Based on Water-Insoluble Basic Dye Salts

Abstract

Hexachloroantimonate(V) and tetrachlorothallate(III) salts of Sevron Red L (C.I. Basic Red 17), Sevron Red GL (C.I. 11,085), Flavinduline O (C.I. 50,000) and Phenazinduline O have been applied in liquid-state ion-selective electrodes for the determination of antimony and thallium. The slope of potential versus pM graphs approach full Nernstian response in the range 10 M (Sb) and 10^?6 M (T1) to 10^?2 M. An unusual feature of the electrodes is their response to antimony(III) as well as to antimony(V).     

Catalytic oxidative cleavage of olefins by RuO4 organic solvent-free under ultrasonic irradiation

All the works reported about oxidative cleavage of olefins by the RuCl₃/NaIO₄ catalytic system have been performed in biphasic water/organic solvent(s). The first organic solvent-free oxidation of CC double bond by 2% RuCl₃/4.1 equiv NaIO₄/H₂O is described here using both the emulsifier Aliquat® 336 and 20 kHz ultrasonic irradiation.     

Template‐Free Galvanic Nanostructuring of Gold Electrodes for Sensitive Electrochemical Biosensors

Gold nanostructuring of smooth gold disk‐electrodes has been performed by electrodeposition. FE‐SEM images indicate a strongly enlarged electrochemically active surface of the modified electrodes. This could be approved by the gold oxide reduction peak in cyclic voltammetry. The electrodes were also applied for sequence‐specific DNA detection. For this, complementary single stranded capture probes were immobilized on the electrodes and consecutively hybridized with complementary and noncomplementary [OsO₄(bipy)]‐labeled DNA targets. We found that intermediate dehybridization steps did not decrease the sensitivity for the specific target. Moreover, the surface modification increased the voltammetric signal by an approx. factor of 9. Further, an enhanced linear calibration range was observed. The presented simple nanostructuring process holds great promise for many electrochemical sensor applications.
