Formation of cobalt, nickel and copper complexes with murexide in ethanol-water mixtures

The complexation reactions between murexide and Co²⁺, Ni²⁺ and Cu²⁺ in C₂H₅OH-H₂O mixtures have been investigated spectrophotometrically. The formation constants of the 1:1 complexes formed increase in the order Co²⁺ < Ni²⁺ < Cu²⁺ for all solvent mixtures studied, and log K_f is a linear function of the mole fraction of ethanol. The heat of complexation was determined calorimetrically for the nickel and copper complexes. The values of ΔH° and ΔS° are solvent-dependent, and all three complexes have negative ΔH° and positive ΔS° values.

Synthesis and characterization of divalent manganese,cobalt, nickel,copper and zinc complexes with nicotinic acid

Coordination compounds of the transition metal(II) acetylacetonates of the formula [M(NA)₂(acac)₂ ]_n (M = Mn, Co, Ni, Cu and Zn; NA = nicotinic acid and acac = acetyl-acetonate anion) have been synthesized and characterized by chemical analysis, magnetic susceptibility, ligand-field spectra, IR and far-IR spectral measurements as well as photoacoustic spectroscopy in the solid state. Tentative stereochemistries for the complexes isolated in the solid state are suggested. The ligand-field parameters 10 Dq, B, β, λ and CFSE are calculated for cobalt and nickel complexes and are in good agreement with the proposed geometries. The metal ions attain six-coordination through the four oxygens of the anion and two donor atoms of the nicotinic acid ligands acting always as monodentate ligands. The formation of the compound results in a considerable shift of v(M-O) to lower frequencies in all the compounds related to parent acetylacetonates.     

Complexes of nitrilotrimethylphosphonic acid with cobalt, nickel, copper and zinc

Substances of the types MH₄ntmp, Mg₃[M(Hntmp)]₂, M₂H₂ntmp and Mg[M₂(Hntmp)]₂, where M = Co, Ni, Cu, Zn and H₆ntmp = N[CH₂PO(OH)₂]₃ were prepared. The sodium and cesium salts of the [Co(Hntmp)]³⁻ complexes were also prepared. The IR and electronic spectra and the experimental magnetic susceptibilities indicate that these are high-spin complexes. The coordination surroundings of the central atom consist of a highly distorted octahedron of the ligand oxygen atoms. The nitrogen atom is not coordinated to the central atom.     

Determination of iron,cobalt, nickel,manganese, zinc,copper, cadmium and lead in human hair by inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry

A method was standardized for the dissolution of hair samples and analysis was carried out by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES). Hair samples were brought into solution by using a mixture of nitric acid and hydrogen peroxide. Various parameters that influence the sample preparation, namely temperature, digestion time and ratio of acid mixture were studied and standardized. The optimized method has been employed to digest standard reference materials and hair samples of residents of India, collected from different age groups and sex, and analyzed for Fe, Co, Ni, Mn, Zn, Cu, Cd and Pb. The values agree for most of the metals with the data reported for human hair samples of residents of India. The NIES CRM Human Hair No. 5 and IAEA Reference Hair HH-1 certified reference materials were used in order to verify the accuracy of the method and the results were in excellent agreement with the certified values.     

Thermal investigation of cobalt, nickel and copper complexes with 8-aminoquinoline

Complexes of Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) with 8-aminoquinoline were prepared and characterized, and their thermal behaviour and decomposition pathways were studied. The thermal stabilities are discussed in terms of ionic radii, crystal field splitting energy and steric hindrance. The effective roles of the counter-ions (Cl^? and NO ₃ ^? ) on the decomposition temperatures and the final products were also clarified. The energies of activation (E _a ) and the orders of some decomposition reactions were determined. Light is shed on the nature of the interaction of the water of crystallization and the polymorphic transformation phenomenon.

Dissociation constants of some Schiff bases and stability constants of their copper,cobalt, nickel and zinc complexes

The stoichiometry and stability constant of metal complexes with 4-(3-methoxy-salicylideneamino)-5-hydroxynaphthalene-2,7-disulfonic acid monosodium salt (H₂L) and 4-(3-methoxysalicylideneamino)-5-hydroxy-6-(2,5-dichlorophenylazo)-2,7-naphthalene disulfonic acid monosodium salt (H₂L¹) were studied by potentiometric titration. The stability constants of H₂L and H₂L¹ Schiff bases have been investigated by potentiometric titration and u.v.–vis spectroscopy in aqueous media. The dissociation constants of the ligand and the stability constants of the metal complexes were calculated pH-metrically at 25 °C and 0.1 m KCl ionic strength. The dissociation constants for H₂L were obtained as 3.007, 7.620 and 9.564 and for H₂L¹, 4.000, 6.525, 9.473 and 10.423, respectively. The complexes were found to have the formulae [M(L)₂] for M = Co(II), Ni(II), Zn(II) and Cu(II). The stability of the complexes follows the sequence: Zn(II) < Co(II) < Cu(II) < Ni(II). The high stability of H₂L¹ towards Cu(II) and Ni(II) over the other ions is remarkable, in particular over Cu(II), and may be of technological interest. Concentration distribution diagram of various species formed in solution was evaluated for ligands and complexes. The formation of the hydrogen bonds may cause this increased stability of ligands. The pH-metric data were used to find the stoichiometry, deprotonation and stability constants via the SUPERQUAD computer program.

Dithlzone extraction and flame atomic absorption spectrometry for the determination of cadmium,zinc, lead,copper, nickel,cobalt and silver in sea water and biological tissues

The method previously described for the determination of Cd, Zn, Cu, Ni and Co in sediments has been adapted for the determination of these metals, and lead and silver in sea water and biological tissues. For sea water the only treatment preceding extraction is pH adjustment; biological tissues are digested in nitric and perchloric acids and the residue taken up in dilute hydrochloric acid prior to pH adjustment and extraction. The method is sufficiently sensitive to allow Cd, Zn, Cu and Ni to be determined in all sea waters, Co and Ag in coastal waters, but Pb only in polluted water.     

Coordination compounds of cobalt, nickel, copper and zinc with thiosemicarbazone and 3-phenylpropenal semicarbazone

Hydrates of 3-phenylpropenal thiosemicarbazone (HL·H₂O) and semicarbazone (HL′·H₂O) react in methanol with cobalt, nickel, copper, and zinc chlorides, nitrates, and acetates to form coordination compounds MX₂·2HL·nSolv [M = Co, Ni, Cu, Zn; X = Cl, NO₃; HL = C₆H₅CH=CH-CH=N-NHC(O)NH₂; n = 0–3; Solv = H₂O, CH₃OH], CuX₂·HL·nH₂O [M = Ni, Cu; n = 0, 1], ML₂·nH₂O and ML′·nH₂O [M = Co, Ni, Zn; HL′ = C₆H₅CH=CH-CH=N-NHC(O)NH₂; n = 0–3]. In the presence of amines (A = C₅H₅N, 2-CH₃C₅H₄N, 3-CH₃C₅H₄N, and 4-CH₃C₅H₄N) these reactions yield the complexes Cu(A)LCl·CH₃OH and M(A)LX·nH₂O [M = Cu, Ni; X = Cl, NO₃; n = 0–2]. The copper complexes with the amine ligands are of polynuclear structure, and other complexes are monomeric. Carbazones (HL and HL′) are included in the complexes as bidentate N,S-and N,O-ligands. The thermolysis of the complexes involves the stages of removing solvent crystallization molecules (70–90°C), deaquation (150–170°C), and full thermal decomposition (500–580°C).

Decomposition stoichiometries have been proposed and factors governing the thermal decomposition have been discussed.     

Mixed metal complexes in solution. Thermodynamic and spectrophotometric study of copper(II)-citrate heterobinuclear complexes with nickel(II), zinc(II) or cadmium(II) in aqueous solution

Summary A thermodynamic study of Cu^II–M^II-citrate (M^II=Ni^II, Zn^II or Cd^II) ternary systems has been performed by means of potentiometric measurements of hydrogen ion concentration at different temperatures (10, 25, 35 and 45°C) and at I=0.1 mol dm^–3 (KNO₃).The different binary and ternary systems involved have been further characterized by visible spectra and by calculating the spectra ( versus ) of all the Cu^II complexes.The thermodynamic data suggest strong entropic stabilization for the species under discussion. As regards the visible spectral characteristics of Cu^II(d-d transitions), the substitution of one Cu^II ion in the dimer [Cu₂(cit)₂H_–2]^4– by Ni^II or Zn^II to form heterobinuclear [CuM(cit)₂H_–2]^4– complexes, gives rise to a change in the visible spectrum.
