Study of monensin complexes with monovalent metal lons in anhydrous methanol solutions

Potentiometric and cyclo-voltammetric studies have been carried out on monensin anion (Mon^–) complexes with the alkali ions as well as with Tl⁺ and Ag⁺ in absolute methanol solutions. The log K_f values obtained for the complexity constants and corrected for the activity effects are: Li⁺, 3.3±0.1; Na⁺, 6.72±0.05; K⁺, 5.18±0.05; Rb⁺, 4.58±0.05; Cs⁺, 3.75±0.05; Tl⁺, 5.31±0.05; Ag⁺, 8.2±0.2. It is seen that for the alkali, the most stable complex is formed with Na⁺. The enthalpy and entropy of complexation with the sodium ion were found to be H^o=–5.47±0.24 kcal-mole^–1 and S^o=+12.4±0.7 e.u. The complex, therefore, is enthalpy and entropy stabilized.     

Sodium-23, cesium-133 and thallium-205 NMR study of sodium,cesium and thallium complexes with large crown ethers in nonaqueous solutions

Formation constants for complexes of dibenzo-21-crown-7, dibenzo-24-crown-8 and dibenzo-27-crown-9 with the Na⁺, Cs⁺ and Tl⁺ ions have been determined by multinuclear NMR measurements in several nonaqueous solvents. The measurements of the cesium complexes were carried out at different temperatures and the enthalpy and entropy of complexation were determined from the temperature dependence of the formation constants.The stabilities of these complexes in solvents of low to medium donicity, —nitromethane, acetonitrile, acetone, methanol, and propylene carbonate, vary in the order Tl⁺>Cs⁺>Na⁺. Depending on the relative sizes of the cation and of the ligand cavity, either a three-dimensional wrap-around complex or a two-dimensional crown complex are formed. For the cesium complexes, the values of H _c ^o and S _c ^o are definitely solvent-dependent and in all cases the complexes are enthalpy stabilized but entropy destabilized. A compensating effect is observed in the variation of the enthalpy and entropy of complexation so that the overall influence of the above solvents on the stability of the complexes is rather limited.     

Complex Formation of Crown Ethers with Cations in Water–Organic Solvent Mixtures. III. Thermodynamics of Interaction Between Na+ Ion with 15-Crown-5 Ether in Water–Acetonitrile Mixtures at 25°C

Enthalpies of solution of 15-crown-5 ether in the acetonitrile–water–sodium iodide system have been measured at 25°C. The equilibrium constants of complex formation of 15C5 with sodium iodide have been determined by molar conductance at various mole ratios 15C5 to sodium iodide in mixtures of water with acetonitrile at 25°C. The thermodynamic functions for complexation of the crown ether with Na⁺ were calculated. From the result, the standard Gibbs energies of complex formation as a function of the normalized Lewis acidity parameters E ^N _T and enthalpy of solvation of 15C5 in the mixtures of water with acetonitrile have been analyzed. The enthalpies of transfer of the 15C5 complex with sodium iodide from pure acetonitrile to the mixtures studied were calculated and discussed.     

Spectrophotometric determination of microamounts of yttrium with 1-amino-4-hydroxyanthraquinone

Summary 1-amino-4-hydroxyanthraquinone (AMHA) is proposed as a spectrophotometric reagent for the determination of yttrium. The solution equilibria ofAMHA complexes with Y(III) have been studied spectrophotometrically in 50% (v/v) ethanol at 25°C and an ionic strength ofI=0.1 mol·dm^–3 (NaClO₄). The complexation reactions were investigated and characterized using graphical logarithmic analysis of the absorbance graphs. The composition, molar absorptivities, and stability constants of the chelates ofAMHA with Y(III) have been determined spectrophotometrically. A simple, rapid, selective, and sensitive method for the spectrophotometric determination of microamounts of Y(III) is developed based on the formation of the violet YLH⁺ complex with _max=580nm atpH 6.2(=0.98×10⁴l·mol^–1·cm^–1). Interferences and their elimination have been studied. Many foreign ions are tolerated in considerable amounts; 45–60 fold amounts of rare earths do not interfere with the determination of yttrium. In the determination of yttrium in synthetic polymetallic samples the relative error and relative standard deviation of the method were found to be better than 1 and 0.5%, respectively.

Spektrophotometrische Bestimmung von Mikromengen Yttrium mit 1-Amino-4-hydroxyanthrachinon

Zusammenfassung 1-Amino-4-hydroxyanthrachinon (AMHA) wird als spektrophotometrisches Reagens zur Bestimmung von Yttrium vorgeschlagen. Die Gleichgewichte von Komplexen ausAMHA und Y(III) in Lösung wurden in 50% (v/v) Ethanol bei 25°C und einer lonenstärke vonI=0.1M (NaClO₄) untersucht. Die Komplexierungsreaktionen wurden durch graphische logarithmische Analyse der Extinktionskurven charakterisiert. Die Zusammensetzungen, die molaren Extinktionen und die Stabilitätskonstanten der Chelate vonAMHA mit Y(III) wurden spektrophotometrisch bestimmt. Eine einfache, schnelle, selektive und empfindliche Methode zur spektrophotometrischen Bestimmung von Mikromengen Y(III) wurde entwickelt. Sie basiert auf der Bildung des violetten YLH⁺-Komplexes mit _max=580 nm beipH 6.2 (=0.98×10⁴l·mol^–1·cm^–1). Störungen und ihre Beseitigung werden ebenfalls diskutiert. Viele Fremdionen werden in beträchtlichen Mengen toleriert; 45–60 facher Überschuß an Seltenen Erden stört die Bestimmung von Yttrium nicht. Der relative Fehler und die relative Standardabweichung der Methode bei der Bestimmung von Yttrium in synthetischen polymetallischen Proben waren besser als 1 bzw 0.5%.

     

Rare earth element complexation by fluoride ions in aqueous solution

Rare earth fluoride stability constants for Ce, Eu, Gd, Tb and Yb at 25°C have been determined by examining the influence of fluoride ions on the distribution of rare earths between tributyl phosphate (TBP) and 0.68M NaClO₄. Our results indicate that rare earth mono and difluoro complexation constants show a steady increase as a function of atomic number from La to Tb but remain relatively constant after Dy. This behavior is similar to that which has been observed for dicarboxylic acids. Stepwise stability constant ratios, K₂/K₁, obtained in our work (where K₁=[MF²⁺][M³⁺]^–1[F^–]^–1 and K₂=[MF ₂ ⁺ ]^–1[MF²⁺]^–1[F^–]^–1) indicated that, for all rare earths, K₂/K₁=0.09±0.03.     

Synthesis of Double-Armed Benzo-15-crown-5 and Their Complexation Thermodynamics with Alkali Cations

A series of double-armed benzo-15-crown-5 lariats (3–8) have been synthesized by the reaction of 4′, 5′-bis(bromomethyl)-benzo-15-crown-5 (2) with 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde, phenol, 4-chlorophenol, 4-methoxyphenol, 2-hydroxybenzaldehyde, and 4-acetamidophenol in 43 ~ 82% yields, respectively. The complex stability constants (K _S) and thermodynamic parameters for the stoichiometric 1:1 and/or 1:2 complexes of benzo-15-crown-5 1 and double-armed crown ethers 3–8 with alkali cations (Na⁺, K⁺, Rb⁺) have been determined in methanol–water (V/V=8:2) at 25 °C by means of microcalorimetric titrations. As compared with the parent benzo-15-crown-5 1, double-armed crown ethers 3–8 show unremarkable changes in the complex stability constants upon complexation with Na⁺, but present significantly enhanced binding ability toward cations larger than the crown cavity by the secondly sandwich complexation. Thermodynamically, the sandwich complexations of crown ethers 3-8 with cations are mostly enthalpy-driven processes accompanied with a moderate entropy loss. The binding ability and selectivity of cations by the double-armed crown ethers are discussed from the viewpoints of the electron density, additional binding site, softness, spatial arrangement, and especially the cooperative binding of two crown ether molecules toward one metal ion.Graphical Abstract Synthesis of Double-Armed Benzo-15-crown-5 and Their Complexation Thermodynamics with Alkali CationsYU LIU*, JIAN-RONG HAN, ZHONG-YU DUAN and HENG-YI ZHANG This revised version was published online in July 2005 with a corrected issue number.     

Proton NMR probing of stoichiometry and thermodynamic data for the complexation of Na and Li ions with 15-Crown-5 in acetonitrile-nitrobenzene mixtures

Proton NMR was used to study the complexation reaction of Li⁺ and Na⁺ ions with 15-Crown-5 (15C5) in a number of binary acetonitrile (AN)-nitrobenzene (NB) mixtures at different temperatures. In all cases, the exchange between free and complexed 15C5 was fast on the NMR timescale and only a single population average ¹H signal was observed. The formation constants of the resulting 1:1 complexes in different solvent mixtures were determined by computer fitting of the chemical shift mole ratio data. There is an inverse relationship between the complex stability and the amount of AN in the solvent mixtures. The enthalpy and entropy values for the complexation reaction were evaluated from the temperature dependence of the formation constants. In all the solvent mixtures studied, the resulting complex is enthalpy stabilized but entropy destabilized. Finally, the experimental results were compared with theoretical ones that were obtained from molecular modeling methods. Based on our results, it is most probable that Li⁺-15C5 in solvent stays in a rather nesting complex form with greater LogK_f values, but Na⁺-15C5 forms a complete perching complex form with lower LogK_f values.     

Lithium-7 nuclear magnetic resonance and calorimetric study of lithium crown complexes in various solvents

Lithium-7 NMR studies have been carried out on lithium ion complexes with crown ethers 12C4, 15C5, and 18C6 in water and in several nonaqueous solvents. In all cases the exchange between the free and complexed lithium ion was fast on the NMR time scale, and a single, population average, resonance was observed. Both 1:1 and 2:1 (sandwich) complexes were observed between lithium ion and 12C4 in nitromethane solution. The stability of the complexes varied very significantly with the solvent. With the exception of pyridine, the stability varies inversely with the Gutmann donor number of the solvent. In general, the stability order of the complexes was found to be 15C5·Li⁺>12C4·Li⁺>18C6·Li⁺. Calorimetric studies on these complexes show that, in most cases, the complexes are both enthalpy and entropy stabilized.     

Complexation of Ni (II) and Zn(II) ions by 3-(1-naphthyI)-2-mercaptopropenoic acid

The complexation equilibria between Ni(II) and Zn(II) metal ions with 3-(1-naphthyl)-2-mercaptopropenoic acid (H₂NMP) were studied by glass electrode potentiometry, at 25 °C and 1.0 mol·dm^–3 in NaClO₄ as constant ionic medium in 50% (v/v) water-ethanol solutions. Formation constants for the complexes Ni(NMP), Ni(NMP) ₂ ^2– , Zn(NMP) and Zn(NMP) ₂ ^2– , refined by the MINIGLASS program, are reported.     

Complexation properties of phosphonocarboxylic acids in aqueous solutions

The concentration formation constants of phosphonoacetic acid (PAA) complexes with the Ca²⁺ and Mg²⁺ ions were determined in aqueous solution at 25°C by potentiometric and coulometric titrations at different ionic strengths and were extrapolated to I=0 in order to obtain thermodynamic values of the formation constants. Complexes were formed by the completely deprotonated K _f (ML) and monoprotonated K _f (MHL) forms of the PAA anion. The respective values for the complexes are: log K _f (CaL)=4.68±0.03, log K _f (CaHL)=2.61±0.08; log K _f (MgL)=5.58±0.09, log K _f (MgHL)=3.0±0.3. The enthalpy and entropy of complexation for the deprotonated Ca²⁺ and Mg²⁺ PAA species, determined from the temperature dependence of the log K _f (ML), are: H⁰(Ca) =0.6±0.2 kcal-mol^–1, S⁰(Ca)=21.4±0.6 cal-mol^–1-K^–1, H⁰(Mg)=3.0±0.7 kcal-mol^–1, and S⁰(Mg)=35±2 cal-mol^–1-K^–1. It is seen there-fore, that the complexes are entropy stabilized but enthalpy destabilized. Formation constants were also determined for Ca²⁺ and Mg²⁺ complexes with PAA analogs, phosphonoformic and 3-phosphonopropionic acids and the complexation of PAA was also studied at a single ionic strength, with Na⁺, Ag⁺, Tl⁺, Sr²⁺, Ba²⁺, Cd²⁺, Cu²⁺, and Pb²⁺ ions.     

Conductance and Thermodynamic Study of Thallium and Silver Ion Complexes with Crown Ethers in Different Binary Acetonitrile–Water Solvent Mixtures

The complexation reactions between Ag⁺ andTl⁺ ions with 15-crown-5 (15C5) and phenyl-aza-15-crown-5(PhA15C5) have been studied conductometrically in 90%acetonitrile-water and 50% acetonitrile - water mixed solvents attemperatures of 293, 298, 303 and 308 K. The stability constants of theresulting 1 : 1 complexes were determined, indicating that theTl⁺ complexes are more stable than the Ag⁺complexes. The enthalpy and entropy of crown complexation reactions were determined from the temperature dependence of the complexation constants.The enthalpy and entropy changes depend on solvent composition and the T S⁰ _o–H⁰ plotshows a good linear correlation, indicating the existence of entropy –enthalpy compensation in the crown complexation reactions.     

Thermodynamic Studies of the Complexation between Neodymium and Acetate at Elevated Temperatures

Complexation of neodymium (III) with acetate in 2.2 mol-kg^-1 NaClO₄ solution was studied at elevated temperatures (45 and 70°C) by potentiometry, calorimetry, and optical spectroscopy. The formation constants of the consecutive complexes, Nd(OOCCH₃),²⁺ Nd(OOCCH₃) ₂ ⁺ , and Nd(OOCCH₃)₃, and the molar enthalpies of complexation at these temperatures were determined. The stability of the three complexes increases with increased temperatures, because of increased positive entropy change at higher temperatures, which exceeds the increased values of the positive (endothermic) enthalpy. The molar heat capacity changes of complexation C_p,m(MLj) (J-K^-1-mol^-1) for Nd(OOCCH₃) _j ^(3-j)+ in the temperature range from 25 to 70°C were calculated to be: 102 ± 13 (j = 1); 122 ± 19 (j = 2); and 239 ± 27 (j = 3). The effect of temperature on the complexation is discussed in terms of the electrostatic model.

The influence of NaClO₄, NaCl and Na₂SO₄ on the oxidation of Fe(phen) ₃ ²⁺ by Ce(IV) was investigated by means of the stopped-flow method. At the concentrations range of NaClO₄ and NaCl 0.1–1.0M the rate constant values decrease from 1.03·10⁵ to 0.56·10⁵M^–1s^–1 and from 1.08·10⁵ to 0.81·10⁵M^–1s^–1 respectively.In varying concentrations of Na₂SO₄ solutions (0.05–0.35M) the rate constant values decrease from 1.05·10⁵M^–1s^–1 to 0.45·10⁵M^–1s^–1.Taking into account the negative salt effect the mechanism of the reaction progress is proposed.

     

Enthalpies of Dilution of Aqueous Solutions of HCl, MgCl2}, CaCl2, and BaCl2 at 300, 325, and 350°C

Dilution enthalpies, measured using isothermal flow calorimetry, are reported for aqueous solutions of BaCl₂ at 300°C and 11.0 MPa, MgCl₂, CaCl₂, and BaCl₂ at 325°C and 14.8 MPa, and at 350°C and 17.6 MPa. Previously collected dilution enthalpies for aqueous solutions of MgCl₂ and CaCl₂ at 300°C and 10.3 MPa and for aqueous solutions of HCl at 250, 275, and 300°C at 10.3 MPa and 320°C at 12.8 MPa were included with the new data at 300°C and 11.0 MPa and at 350°C and 17.6 MPa when fitting the Pitzer parameters. The concentration range of the chloride solutions was 0.5 to 0.02 molal. Parameters for the Pitzer excess Gibbs ion–interaction equation were determined from the fits of the experimental heat data. Equilibrium constants, enthalpy changes, entropy changes, and heat-capacity changes for the association of alkaline earth metal ions and H⁺ with chloride ion were estimated from the heat data. For all systems, the enthalpy and entropy changes are positive and show accelerating increases with temperature. The resulting equilibrium constants show significant, but smaller, increases with temperature.     

Potentiometric and Conductometric Studies on the Complexes of Some Rare Earth Metals with Rhodanine Azosulfonamide Derivatives, XII

Stability constants for La³⁺, Ce³⁺, UO₂ ²⁺, and Th⁴⁺ metal ion complexes with rhodanine azosulfonamide derivatives have been determined potentiometrically in 0.1 M KCl in a 30% (v/v) ethanol–water mixture. The order of the stability constants of the complexes found was to La³⁺ < Ce ²⁺ < UO ₂ ²⁺ < Th ⁴⁺. The influence of substituents on the stability of the complexes was examined on the basis of electron-repelling property of the substituent. The effect of temperature on the stability constants was studied and the Gibbs energy, the enthalpy, and entropy of complexation thermodynamic parameters were derived and are discussed. The stoichiometries of these complexes were determined conductometrically and the results indicated the formation of 1:1 and 1:2 (metal:ligand) complexes.     

Structure and stability of ion pairs A−·K+·H2O with a strong anion

Characteristics of the ion pairs HCOO^–·Na⁺·H₂O, HCOO^–·K⁺·H₂O, and also Na⁺·H₂O and K⁺·H₂O were calculated by the nonempirical Hartree—Fock—Roothan linear-combination-of-atomic-orbitals self-consistent-field (SCF) molecular-orbital method in a two-exponent Dunning basis using an extended set of Huzinaga—Dunning Gaussian functions. The basis was supplemented by polarization functions ofd type for the oxygen atom andp type for the H atom and also by diffusion functions ofp type for the oxygen atom. Characteristics of the ion pairs HCOO^–·Li⁺ and HCOO^–·Na⁺ were calculated taking into account the electronic correlation according to the Möller — Plesset second-order perturbation theory. Significant quantitative difference was observed in the hydration of ionogens and free cations. The stability of the ionogens HCOOMe in aqueous solutions, increasing from Li⁺ to Cs⁺, is not explained by the difference between the energies of complexation and the energies of hydration of the cations. The better solubility of the salt molecule with a cation of smaller radius is due to the higher degree of hydration of that ionogen.N. N.

Multinuclear macromolecule metal complexes 2. Preparation and characterization of Prussian blue and its analogs bonded to pofy(vinylamine hydrochloride)

Prussian blue and its analogs bonded to poly(vinylamine hydrochloride) (PVAm · HCl) containing Fe^II or Fe^III and M²⁺ (M=Fe, Co, Cu) in a 11 molar ratio were obtained by the reaction of [Fe(CN)₆] ^n– (n=3,4) with M²⁺ ion-PVAm · HCl mixture in aqueous solution. Under a limited polymer concentration (T_VAm/T_Fe over 10), these polymer complexes thus obtained were stable and soluble in water. By casting these solutions, colored films can be produced. The formation of Prussian blue and its analogs bonded to PVAm · HCl was also investigated by the Benesi-Hildebrand method. The molar extinction coefficients of intervalence charge transfer (Fe^IIFe^III, Co^IIFe^III, Fe^IICu^II) band for MFe(CN)₆]^(n–2)– bound to PVAm · HCl (M=Fe, Co, Cu) were found to be 10,100–9601 · mol^–1 · cm^–1 at 25 C. The formation constants were found to be in the range of 10⁷ to 10¹⁰ M^–1. The changes of enthalpy (H) and entropy (S) were found to be in the range of –10.4 to –22.5 kJ · mol^–1 and 5.7 to 52.9 J · K^–1 mol^–1 respectively, at 25C.     

The determination of the second dissociation constant of sulfuric acid

By taking into account the association between the Na⁺ and SO ₄ ^2– ions an average value of 0.0184±0.0005 is found using three different methods. This corresponds with an apparent acidity constant KA ₂ ^* of 0.095±0.003     

Study of Complex Formation Between Dicyclohexano-18-Crown-6 (DCH18C6) with Mg 2+, Ca2+, Sr 2+, and Ba2+ Cations in Methanol–Water Binary Mixtures Using Conductometric Method

The complexation reactions between Mg²⁺,Ca²⁺,Sr²⁺ and Ba²⁺ metal cations with macrocyclic ligand, dicyclohexano-18-crown-6 (DCH18C6) were studied in methanol (MeOH)–water (H₂O) binary mixtures at different temperatures using conductometric method . In all cases, DCH18C6 forms 1:1 complexes with these metal cations. The values of stability constants of complexes which were obtained from conductometric data show that the stability of complexes is affected by the nature and composition of the mixed solvents. While the variation of stability constants of DCH18C6-Sr ²⁺ and DCH18C6-Ba²⁺versus the composition of MeOH–H₂O mixed solvents is monotonic, an anomalous behavior was observed for variations of stability constants of DCH18C6-Mg²⁺ and DCH18C6-Ca²⁺ versus the composition of the mixed solvents. The values of thermodynamic parameters (ΔH_c°, ΔS_c°) for complexation reactions were obtained from temperature dependence of formation constants of complexes using the van’t Hoff plots. The results show that in most cases, the complexation reactions are enthalpy stabilized but entropy destabilized and the values of thermodynamic parameters are influenced by the nature and composition of the mixed solvents. The obtained results show that the order of selectivity of DCH18C6 ligand for metal cations in different concentrations of methanol in MeOH–H₂O binary system is: Ba²⁺>Sr²⁺>Ca²⁺> Mg²⁺.
