Spectrophotometric determination ofo- andp-phenylenediamines

Summary Cupric chloride-triphenylphosphine complex gives red color witho-phenylenediamine having maximum absorption at 505–520 nm and 0.5g/ml as visual limit of identification. The reaction is specific foro-phenylenediamine and obeys Beer's law (1 to 10g/ml). This reaction provides the basis of a new method for the Spectrophotometric determination ofo-phenylenediamine ing quantities.Ruthenium trichloride-triphenylphosphine complex gives blue color withp-phenylenediamine having maximum absorption at 580 nm and 2g/ml as visual limit of identification. On the basis of this color reaction a Spectrophotometric method for the determination ofp-phenylenediamine in hair dyes is described. The recovery of the dye from commercial preparations is better than 97%. Other organic compounds do not interfere.

The thermal dissociation of some metal cupferrate chelates

The thermal dissociation of the cupferron complexes with Cu(II), Ni, Co(II), Zn, Cd, Mn(II), Hg(II), Mg, Ca, Ba, Sr, Al, Fe(III). Ce(III), La, and Nd was studied by differential thermal analysis (DTA) and by pyrolysis into a mass spectrometer. The DTA curves consisted mainly of endothermic peaks although some contained exothermic peaks as well. The mass spectrometer showed that cupferron decomposes slightly above room temperature, giving off N₂, NO, N₂O, NH₃ and H₂O. A mechanism for the thermal dissociation of the coppcr(II) cupferrate is proposed.     

Semiquantitative determination of thiourea,thiocyanate, and sulfide by circular thin layer chromatography

Summary A method for semiquantitative determination of thiourea, thiocyanate, and sulfide is described. It involves making circular spots or rings on chromatoplates using the circular thin layer Chromatographic apparatus. The method is based on sensitivity and specificity of spot reactions and comparison of the color intensity of a circular spot with that of sensitivity standards. The accuracy of the method is ± 5% and the procedure is rapid, simple and economical.

Hypersensitivity in the Luminescence and 4f?C4f Absorption Properties of Mono- and Dinuclear EuIII and ErIII Complexes Based on Fluorinated ??-Diketone and Diimine/ Bis-Diimine Ligands

The results of our investigation on the sensitized luminescence properties of three Eu(III) ??-diketonate complexes of the form [Eu₂(fod)₆(??-bpm)], [Eu(fod)₃(phen)] and [Eu(fod)₃(bpy)] and 4f?C4f absorption properties of their Er(III) analogues ( fod = anion of 6,6,7,7,8,8,8- heptafluoro-2,2-dimethyl-3,5-octanedione, bpm = 2,2??-bipyrimidine, phen = 1,10-phenanthroline and bpy = 2,2??-bipyridyl) in a series of non-aqueous solvents are presented. The Eu(III) complexes are highly luminescent and their luminescence properties (intensity and band shape) are sensitive to the changes in the inner coordination sphere of the Eu(III) ion. The luminescence intensity of the mononuclear complexes in pyridine is drastically decreased. The coordination structure of the complexes in pyridine is transformed into a more symmetrical one which results into a slow radiative rate of the emission from the complexes. The ancillary ligands, phen and bpy are found better co-sensitizers as compared to the bpm to sensitize Eu(III)-luminescence. The 4f?C4f absorption properties (oscillator strength and band shape) of the Er(III) complexes demonstrate that ⁴G_11/2 ?? ⁴I_11/2 and ²H_11/2 ?? ⁴I_15/2 hypersensitive transitions of Er(III) are very sensitive in some coordinating solvents which reflects complex?Csolvent interaction in solution. The hypersensitive transitions of [Er(fod)₃(phen)] remain unaffected in any of the solvents and this complex retains its bulk composition in solution. The erbium complexes as well as the Er(fod)₃ chelate are invaded by DMSO. This solvent enters the inner coordination sphere by replacing heterocyclic ligand and the complexes acquire similar structure [Er(fod)₃(DMSO)₂] in this solvent. The results reveal that the luminescence and absorption properties of lanthanide complexes in solution can be controlled by tuning the coordination structure through ancillary ligands and donor solvents. This work shall prove useful in designing new biological applications with such probes.     

Polyoxotungstate Archetype {P4W27} and its 3d Derivatives

The propensity of the new, phenylphosphonate-stabilized polyoxotungstate [(C₆H₅P^VO)₂P₄W₂₄O₉₂]¹⁶⁻ to act as a precursor for new 3d metal-functionalized polyanions has been investigated. Reactions with Mn^II and Cu^II induce the formation of the previously unknown polyoxotungstate archetype {P₄W₂₇}, isolated as salts of the polyanions [Na⊂{Mn^II(H₂O)}{WO(H₂O)}P₄W₂₆O₉₈]¹³⁻ ( 1 ) and [K⊂{Cu^II(H₂O)}{W(OH)(H₂O)}P₄W₂₇O₉₉]¹⁴⁻ ( 2 ), which were characterized in the solid state (single-crystal X-ray diffraction, elemental and TG analyses, IR spectroscopy, SQUID magnetometry) and in aqueous solution (UV/Vis spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry).
