An improved flow-injection system for spectrophotometric determination of molybdenum and tungsten in tool steels

A flow-injection procedure for simultaneous spectrophotometric determination of tungsten and molybdenum in steel alloys is proposed. The method exploits the catalytic effects of Mo(VI) and W(VI) on the rate of iodide oxidation by hydrogen peroxide under acidic conditions. A novel strategy for ion-exchange separation of the potential interfering species is proposed, and an AG50W-X8 cationic resin mini-column is used. The sample is injected twice, originating two sequential plugs, citrate being added to one of them in order to suppress the W(VI) catalytic activity thus providing the kinetic discrimination.The system handles 70 samples per hour and requires 1.6 mg KI per determination. A linear response is verified up to 10 mg l⁻¹ Mo (or W) in the injectate, and signal additivity is 98-103%. Results are precise (R.S.D. < 0.04) and in agreement with ICP-OES. Running a standard reference material (IPT-50) assessed also accuracy.     

Selective N-oxidation of aromatic amines to nitroso derivatives using a molybdenum acetylide oxo-peroxo complex as catalyst

The molybdenum acetylide oxo-peroxo complex obtained in situ by the treatment of the corresponding molybdenum acetylide carbonyl complex, CpMo(CO)₃(CCPh); Cp = η⁵-C₅H₅ with H₂O₂, has been used as an efficient catalyst for selective N-oxidation of primary amines to nitroso derivatives. Excellent amine conversion (up to 100%) and very high selectivity for nitroso compounds (99%) have been obtained using 30% hydrogen peroxide as an oxidant. The oxo peroxo Mo(VI) complex has also been found to be very active for the oxidation of various substituted primary aromatic amines with electron donating as well as electron withdrawing substituents on the aromatic ring.

Pt2Mo3N and PdPtMo3N: new interstitial nitrides prepared from freeze-dried precursors

The molybdenum bimetallic and trimetallic nitrides Pt₂Mo₃N and PdPtMo₃N have been synthesized by ammonolysis of the stoichiometric amorphous precursor, obtained by freeze drying of aqueous solutions of the appropriate metal salts. These compounds have been characterized by elemental analysis, energy-dispersive analysis of X-rays, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and thermogravimetry analysis under an oxygen atmosphere. Pt₂Mo₃N and PdPtMo₃N crystallize in the cubic space group P4₁32 (213), with lattice parameters of a=6.83586(4) and 6.82542(3) Å, respectively, and form with the unusual filled β-manganese structure. These compounds are stable under air up to 580 K, the oxidation being complete at 910 K.

Synthesis and characterization of two new photochromic organic-inorganic hybrid materials based on isopolyoxomolybdate: (HDBU)3(NH4)[β-Mo8O26]·H2O and (HDBU)4[δ-Mo8O26]

Two new organic-inorganic hybrid compounds of molybdenum(VI) (HDBU)₃(NH₄)[β-Mo₈O₂₆]·H₂O 1 and (HDBU)₄[δ-Mo₈O₂₆] 2 have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, FT-IR and UV-vis spectroscopies, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction (at 293 and 100 K, respectively). Compound 1 is obtained at room temperature by adding 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) on aqueous molybdate solution at pH=5.7. Compound 2 is obtained hydrothermally from 1 (110 °C, 24 h, autogenous pressure). Compound 1 crystallizes in the triclinic crystal system, space group , with a=11.2492(9), b=14.1907(10), c=16.7498(10) Å, α=80.993(4), β=72.272(6), γ=71.696(7)°, V=2412.5(3) Å³ at T=20 °C and Z=2. The refinement of the structure leads to a residual factor R=0.0697 for 10234 independent observed reflections [I/σ(I)?2] and 623 parameters. Compound 2 crystallizes in the triclinic crystal system, space group , with a=11.3158(9), b=11.3773(8), c=13.2884(17) Å, α=92.110(8), β=112.127(9), γ=117.581(7)°, V=1357.4(3) Å³ at T=−173 °C and Z=2. The refinement of the structure leads to a residual factor R=0.0226 for 11812 independent observed reflections [I/σ(I)?2] and 354 parameters. The structure of 1 consists of β-[Mo₈O₂₆]⁴⁻ anions with HDBU⁺ and NH₄⁺ cations connected to the mineral parts by hydrogen bonds and the structure of 2 contains δ-[Mo₈O₂₆]⁴⁻ anions with HDBU⁺ counter-cations. Both the thermal and chemical isomerizations of the two [Mo₈O₂₆]⁴⁻ isomers are highlighted and discussed. Photochromic behaviors of compounds 1 and 2 are also reported.     

Naked-eye detection of trace arsenic(V) in aqueous media using molybdenum-loaded chelating resin having beta-hydroxypropyl-di(beta-hydroxyethyl)amino moiety

A naked-eye detection method for a trace amount of arsenic in aqueous samples has been newly developed. The proposed method is based on the formation of a hetero poly acid in a chelating resin phase. Molybdenum loaded on a chelating resin having β-hydroxypropyl-di(β-hydroxyethyl) amino moiety reacts with arsenic(V) to form the hetero poly acid, which makes the resin beads greenish blue in the presence of a reducing agent under acidic conditions. It was also found that the intensity of the color of the resin depends on the concentration of arsenic(V) in the sample solutions. Since the development of the color occurs in 20 min by heating of the mixture at 40 °C, this system can provide a simple, rapid and low-cost detection method of a trace amount of arsenic(V) in an aqueous media. The detection limit of this method is 1 × 10⁻⁶ mol dm⁻³. A longer preconcentration time with the same resin gave the higher sensitivity of 1 × 10⁻⁷ mol dm⁻³ that is comparable with that of the instrumental analysis. The present method comprises both the concentration and detection step with the same solid material, and hence it gives higher sensitivity and easier handling than the ordinary colorimetric methods using a liquid medium.     

Synthesis of Mo(CO)2(η-PPh2(o-C6H4)C(O)H)2 and its reaction with C60

Reaction of Mo(CO)₃(NCMe)₃ and PPh₂(o-C₆H₄)C(O)H (abbreviated as PCHO) at room temperature affords Mo(CO)₂(η³-PCHO)₂ (1), while compound 1 and the phosphine-imine complex Mo(CO)₄(η²-PPh₂(o-C₆H₄)CHNMe) (2) are obtained by using Mo(CO)₃(η³-(MeNCH₂)₃) as the reactant. Thermal reaction of 1 with C₆₀ products Mo(CO)₂(η⁴-(PPh₂(o-C₆H₄)CH)₂)(η²-C₆₀) (3) in low yield, apparently through coupling of the formyl moieties. The structures of 1 and 3 have been determined by an X-ray diffraction study. The two aldehyde groups of 1 and C₆₀ ligand of 3 are coordinated to the molybdenum atom in a π-fashion.     

Mixed-metal cluster chemistry VI: Phosphine substitution at CpMoIr3(μ-CO)3(CO)8; X-ray crystal structure of CpMoIr3(μ-CO)3(CO)7(PPh3)

Reactions of CpMoIr₃(μ-CO)₃(CO)₈ (1) with stoichiometric amounts of phosphines afford the substitution products CpMoIr₃(μ-CO)₃(CO)_8−x (L)_x (L = PPh₃, x = 1 (2), 2 (3); L = PMe₃, x = 1 (4), 2 (5), 3 (6)) in fair to good yields (23–54%); the yields of both 3 and 6 are increased on reacting 1 with excess phosphine. Products 2–5 are fluxional in solution, with the interconverting isomers resolvable at low temperatures. A structural study of one isomer of 2 reveals that the three edges of an MoIr₂ face of the tetrahedral core are spanned by bridging carbonyls, and that the iridium-bound triphenyiphosphine ligates radially and the molybdenum-bound cyclopentadienyl coordinates axially with respect to this Molr₂ face. Information from this crystal structure, ³¹P NMR data (both solution and solid-state), and results with analogous tungsten—triiridium and tetrairidium clusters have been employed to suggest coordination geometries for the isomeric derivatives.
