Determination of Uranium in Natural Waters by Solid Phase Spectrometry

Abstract

A microdetermination method (at the μg1^?1 level) for uranium has been developed, based on Solid-Phase Spectrophotometry (SPS). The uranium reacts with pyridylazo-resorcinol in the presence of fluoride to form a 1:1:1 red ternary complex, which is fixed on an anion-exchange resin. The resin absorbance is measured directly, and allows the determination of uranium in the range of 1–10μg1^?1, with an RSD of 4%. The method has been applied to the determination of U(VI) in natural waters from wells located near the deposits of industrial wastes from a uranium mineral plant in Andujar (Spain).     

Resorcinol‐based benzoxazine with low polymerization temperature

The industrial applications of benzoxazines are limited due to their high curing temperatures. This drawback can be overcome by more reactive precursor compared to conventional benzoxazines or by application of efficient initiators. We report the synthesis of a new resorcinol‐based benzoxazine and its cationic polymerization with thermolatent super acids, namely organic sulfonium hexafluoroantimonates. This combination of a reactive precursor and an efficient initiator results in a curing temperature below 100 °C (differential scanning calorimetry onset) which is up to now one of the lowest polymerization temperatures for benzoxazine systems. Furthermore, the thermal stability of the formed polybenzoxazine has not been influenced by the applied initiators. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym. Sci., Part A: Polym.

Synthesis and Structure Investigation of a Novel 3-Dimensional Potassium Supermolecular Compound Based on 2,4-Dinitro Resorcinol

A novel 3‐dimensional potassium supermolecular compound [K(HDNR)(H₂DNR)(H₂O)]_n (H₂DNR?2,4‐dinitro resorcinol) was synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis and FT‐IR spectroscopy. The crystal structure investigated by X‐ray single crystal diffraction shows that [K(HDNR)(H₂DNR)(H₂O)]_n crystallizes with a monoclinic unit cell in the space group P2(1)/c with unit cell dimensions of a=17.648(5) Å, b=12.527(3) Å, c=7.735(2) Å, β=94.33(2)°, V=1705.00(73) ų, Z=4. The structure was refined to the final R=0.0670 and wR=0.0722 for 2022 observed reflections with I>2σ(I). In the compound, potassium cation is assembled into one‐dimensional chains along c‐axis through oxygen atoms from water molecules, and the chains were connected by the bridged HDNR^? anions to form a two‐dimensional net structure. The two‐dimensional nets constructed a three‐dimensional supramolecular architecture via intermolecular hydrogen bonds and N–O···π interaction. Density functional theory (DFT) B3LYP was employed to optimize the structure and calculate energies for three tautomers of HDNR^? univalent anion. Three stable tautomers were located. It was found that the structure (I) with O(1) losing hydrogen atom is more stable than the structure (II) also with O(1) losing hydrogen atom and the structure (III) with O(4) losing hydrogen atom.     

Acid-catalyzed intramolecular cyclization of N-(4,4-diethoxybutyl)sulfonamides as a novel approach to the 1-sulfonyl-2-arylpyrrolidines

Herein we report our studies on the acid-catalyzed cyclisation of N-(4,4-diethoxybutyl)sulfonamides at the presence of polyatomic phenols as an efficient one-pot approach to the synthesis of 1-sulfonyl-2-arylpyrrolidines from the acyclic precursors.     

Perchloric Acid-Catalyzed Synthesis of 9-Aryl Xanthenes-9H-3,6-diol and 1,3,6,8-Tetraol in Water

Efficient syntheses of xanthenes have been described using a catalytic amount of perchloric acid in water. The high temperature and lengthy reaction time normally required for formation of xanthenes derivatives are not necessary when using a catalytic amount of perchloric acid. The method is relatively inexpensive, easily available, nonvolatile, nonexplosive, and thermally robust to catalyze the reaction at 80 °C by simple heating with good to excellent yields. The advantages of the reaction involve simple reaction protocol, simple workup, and improved synthesis in the presence of perchloric acid as catalyst.
