Recognition of phosphate monoester dianion by an alkoxide-bridged dinuclear zinc(II) complex

Recognition of phosphate monoester dianion by an alkoxide-bridged dinuclear zinc(II) complex (Zn2L3+) has been studied (L = alkoxide species of 1,3-bis[bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)amino]propan-2-ol). Potentiometric pH titration study disclosed a 1 : 1 phenyl phosphate complexation with Zn2L3+ in aqueous solution. The dissociation constant (= [Zn2L3+][PhOPO3(2-)]/[Zn2L3+-PhOPO3(2-)]) is an extremely small value of 2.5 x 10(-8) mol dm(-3) at 25 degrees C with I = 0.10 (NaNO3). The X-ray crystal analysis of the dizinc(II) complex with p-nitrophenyl phosphate showed that the phosphate dianion binds as a bridging ligand to the two zinc(II) ions.     

Contributions to the basic problems of complexometry--XXII: determination of thorium and scandium in the presence of each other

A new method for the determination of thorium and scandium in the presence of each other is presented. Two aliquots of the solution are necessary. In one the sum of thorium and scandium is determined by direct titration with DCTA. In the second, thorium and scandium are treated with an excess of TTHA, phosphate is added, and zinc is used to titrate the excess of TTHA and to displace the scandium from its TTHA complex.     

Successive determination of thorium and the rare earths with triethylenetetraminehexaacetic acid

Triethylenetetraminehexaacetic acid (TTHA) is proposed for the successive determination of thorium and rare earths in mixtures by titrating first for thorium at pH 2, then adding an excess of TTHA to complex the rare earth ions completely, and titrating the excess of TTHA with standard zinc solution. Xylenol Orange and 3',3'-bis {[N,N-bis (carboxymethy 1)amino]methyl} thymolsulphonephthalein (TMS) have been tested as indicators for the titration.

Characteristic differences in the formation of complex coacervate core micelles from neodymium and zinc-based coordination polymers

In this paper we compare the formation of complex coacervate core micelles (C3Ms) from two different tricompontent mixtures, namely neodymium, the bisligand L2EO4 and the poly(cation)-block-poly(neutral) diblock copolymer P2MVP41-b-PEO205, and zinc, L2EO4 and P2MVP41-b-PEO205 mixed systems. Three sets of titration experiments were carried out for each system: (i) titration of diblock copolymer P2MVP41-b-PEO205 with the stoichiometric mixture of metal ions and bisligands, (ii) titration of a mixture of diblock copolymer and bisligand with metal ions, and (iii) titration of a mixture of diblock copolymer and metal ions with bisligands. In all the above three cases, micelles are found to form either in a broad range of charge ratios or in a broad range of metal/bisligand ratios. Upon addition of Nd2-(L2EO4)3 coordination polymer to P2MVP41-b-PEO205 solution, and upon addition of Nd3+ to a mixture of L2EO4 and P2MVP41-b-PEO205, micelles are found to form immediately after the first addition, whereas micelles show up in the similar zinc system only after a certain threshold Zn-(L2EO4) or Zn2+ concentration. This difference can be traced to the different structures of the Nd2-(L2EO4)3 and Zn-(L2EO4) coordination compounds. At very low concentrations, Zn-(L2EO4) are ring-like oligomers, but Nd2-(L2EO4)3 are larger networks. The network structure favors the formation of coacervate micellar core with P2MVP41-b-PEO205. Moreover, excess of Nd3+ ions will break up the C3Ms, while the same amount of Zn2+ has hardly any effect on the C3Ms. The breakdown of C3Ms by Nd3+ is due to the charge inversion of the coordination complex with increasing [Nd3+]/[L2EO4] ratio, which results in repulsive interaction between the coordination complex and the diblock copolymer, whereas no such interaction can occur in the zinc system.     

Anion binding with a tripodal amine

Binding studies of the tren-based amine, L (N,N',N' '-tris(2-benzylaminoethyl)amine), with inorganic anions and two crystal structures, [H(3)L][H(2)PO(4)](3).H(3)PO(4) and [H(3)L][Br](3), are reported. NMR titration results indicate that the ligand binds H(2)PO(4)(-) and HSO(4)(-) more strongly than NO(3)(-) and halides. In the crystal structure of the phosphate complex, the ligand is triprotonated with the three arms pointing outward in a trigonal-planar-like arrangement. Four phosphate species are associated with the receptor, and have been assigned as three H(2)PO(4)(-) counterions located between each of the tren arms, and an additional H(3)PO(4) molecule above the quasi-planar tren. The structure of the bromide complex is slightly different, although again the tren receptor is triprotonated and quasi-planar, but in this case C(2v)-like symmetry is seen with two of the arms pointed in the same direction with a bromide ion in between. The other two bromides lie outside of the tren arms.     

Encapsulation of trivalent phosphate anion within a rigidified π-stacked dimeric capsular assembly of tripodal receptor

The tris(thiourea) receptor, L, in the presence of excess H(2)PO(4)(-) has been found to encapsulate a trivalent phosphate ion within a π-stacked dimeric capsular assembly of the receptor with twelve strong H-bonds via deprotonation, as evident from the origin of a new set of signals in the (1)H NMR titration experiments.     

Contributions to the basic problems of complexometry--XXIII: determination of thorium, scandium and some lanthanides in the presence of each other

A new method is described for the determination of thorium, scandium, and the sum of light lanthanides, in the presence of each other. The method is based on the titration of thorium plus scandium with DCTA (1,2-diaminocyclohexanetetra-acetic acid) at pH 2.5-3.5, with Xylenol Orange as indicator. After addition of TTHA (triethylenetetraminehexa-acetic acid) the thorium-DCTA complex is converted into the thorium-TTHA complex according to the equation Th-DCTA + TTHA = TH-TTHA + DCTA. Simultaneously, free lanthanum, cerium, praseodymium and neodymium react with TTHA. The excess of TTHA and the liberated DCTA are then determined by titrations with zinc and with lanthanum solutions according to the equations DCTA + TTHA + 3Zn = Zn-DCTA + Zn(2)-TTHA and DCTA + TTHA + 2La = La-DCTA + La-TTHA. From the results, the amounts of thorium and scandium, and the sum of the lanthanide concentrations, can easily be calculated. Further possibilities, e.g., determination of heavier lanthanides, are briefly discussed.     

Rapid chelatometric determination of bismuth, titanium and aluminium using Semi-Xylenol Orange with visual end-point indication

A rapid and simple general complexometric method was presented for the determination of bismuth, titanium and aluminium in laboratory synthesized alloys similar to those of some bauxites, clay, ilmenite, Portland cements and ceramic products. The precision and accuracy attainable in successive titrations of Bi(3+), Ti(4+) and Al(3+) with 0.01 and/or 0.001M solutions of disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate (Na(2)EDTA) and standard ZnCl(2) of the same concentration, using Semi-Xylenol Orange (SXO) as a metallochromic indicator with visual end-point indication were studied. For one aliquot Bi(3+) was at first directly titrated at pH 1-2 (HNO(3)) with Na(2)EDTA using SXO as indicator in the presence of L-ascorbic acid to reduce Fe(3+) to Fe(2+). At the bismuth end-point, an excess of Na(2)EDTA was added, the pH was adjusted with hexamine buffer (pH 5) and the excess of Na(2)EDTA was back-titrated with solution of standard zinc(II) chloride for both the simultaneous and consecutive titrations in the presence of (SXO) as indicator. For the simultaneous titration, fluoride was added to release the Na(2)EDTA combined with both Al(3+) and Ti(4+). For the consecutive titration, phosphate was added to release the Na(2)EDTA combined with Ti(4+) and then fluoride to release the Na(2)EDTA combined with Al(3+). The interference of various anions and cations in the determination of Bi(3+), Ti(4+) and Al(3+) was studied. A comparison of the accuracy of both the simultaneous and consecutive titration was also carried out. The proposed methods were applied successfully to some real samples of bauxites, clay, ilmenite, Portland cements and ceramic products and the results were satisfactory.

Determination of Sulphate by Titrimetric and Colorimetric Measurement of Equivalent Displaced Zinc Ion

Abstract

Two methods are described for the determination of sulphate in the range of 200 μg to 100 mg by dissolving precipitated barium sulphate in excess of EDTA at pH 12.5. A titrimetric procedure involves back titration of excess EDTA with a standard zinc solution, while a complementary spectrophotometric method makes use of the stability of the barium EDTA complex in the presence of an excess of zinc ions; the latter are reacted with zincon and are equivalent to the amount of sulphate present.     

Surface properties of various powdered hydroxyapatites

Electrophoretic mobilities of various synthetic and semisynthetic hydroxyapatites (Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2, HAP) suspended in aqueous solutions have been measured as a function of pH and calcium concentration. The studied powders differ in particle size, crystallinity degree and surface contamination (carbonate). When equilibrated in mineral acids or bases, a large plateau of negative mobility is observed in the pH range 5-8, with increasing negative values at higher pH. Only in the case of the sample composed of nanoparticles, positive mobility obtains at pH < 8.9. When Ca2+ is added, positive mobility values are observed for all samples, and a bell-shaped profile results as a function of pH. Two possible models are explored to describe the results: the Nernstian approach, which assumes solubility equilibrium and surface potentials determined by the three potential-determining ions (Ca2+, PO3-4, and OH-), and the surface complexation approach, based on the idea of negligible phase transfer of structural phosphate. The Nernstian model is inadequate, whereas a very simple surface complexation model based on the equations Ca5(PO4)+3 = Ca4(PO4)-3 + Ca2+,Ca4(PO4)-3 + H+ = Ca4(PO4)2(PO4H),Ca5(PO4)+3 + OH- = Ca5(PO4)3(OH),coupled with a very simple electrical double layer, model suffices to reproduce the bell-shaped profile of the mobility as a function of pH in the presence of added calcium salts. The results also show that the sample composed of nanoparticles exchanges ions more easily with the solution, without reaching the solubility equilibrium in the explored timespans. In the presence of soluble phosphate salts, it is postulated that the same surface ensembles define the surface charge, with participation of phosphate as described by the equation Ca5(PO4)+3 + PO3-4 = Ca4(PO4)-3.HAP is just one member of a family of calcium phosphates with different (Ca)/(P) ratios. Electrophoretic mobilities of another member, tricalcium diphosphate, Ca3(PO4)2, were also measured and shown to be described by the same basic model. Comparison with previous literature data shows that the negative plateau in the mobility is a general feature of many HAP samples at low Ca2+, again in agreement with the surface complexation model. FTIR data demonstrates that surface phosphate indeed undergoes protonation, as postulated in the model.     

Indirect determination of fluoride by EDTA back-titration of lanthanum

Semimicro to macro amounts of fluoride ion (0.4-100 mg) are determined rapidly and accurately by precipitation with an excess of lanthanum at pH 2.5-2.8 by digestion on a water-bath, cooling to room temperature, addition of excess of EDTA and back-titration of the excess with zinc solution to the Xylenol Orange end-point at ph 5.8-5..9. Large amounts of chloride, acetate and perchlorate, and small amounts of sulphate and silicate do not interfere, but phosphate does. This method is much superior to the usual thorium nitrate titration method and can be applied after preliminary separation of fluorine by steam distillation or pyrolysis.     

Carbonate adsorption on goethite in competition with phosphate

Competitive interaction of carbonate and phosphate on goethite has been studied quantitatively. Both anions are omnipresent in soils, sediments, and other natural systems. The PO4-CO3 interaction has been studied in binary goethite systems containing 0-0.5 M (bi)carbonate, showing the change in the phosphate concentration as a function of pH, goethite concentration, and carbonate loading. In addition, single ion systems have been used to study carbonate adsorption as a function of pH and initial (H)CO3 concentration. The experimental data have been described with the charge distribution (CD) model. The charge distributions of the inner-sphere surface complexes of phosphate and carbonate have been calculated separately using the equilibrium geometries of the surface complexes, which have been optimized with molecular orbital calculations applying density functional theory (MO/DFT). In the CD modeling, we rely for phosphate on recent parameters from the literature. For carbonate, the surface speciation and affinity constants have been found by modeling the competitive effect of CO3 on the phosphate concentration in CO3-PO4 systems. The CO3 constants obtained can also predict the carbonate adsorption in the absence of phosphate very well. A combination of inner- and outer-sphere CO3 complexation is found. The carbonate adsorption is dominated by a bidentate inner-sphere complex, (FeO)2CO. This binuclear bidentate complex can be present in two different geometries that may have a different IR behavior. At a high PO(4) and CO3 loading and a high Na+ concentration, the inner-sphere carbonate complex interacts with a Na+ ion, probably in an outer-sphere fashion. The Na+ binding constant obtained is representative of Na-carbonate complexation in solution. Outer-sphere complex formation is found to be unimportant. The binding constant is comparable with the outer-sphere complexation constants of, e.g., SO(2-)4 and SeO(2-)4.

Cu2{[18]ane-N6} complexes: structures, magnetism, and phosphate monoester binding

A novel Cu(II)2 complex of the [18]ane-N6 macrocycle ([18]ane-N6 = 1,4,7,10,13,16-hexaazacyclooctadecane) was prepared from the reaction between [18]ane-N6 and Cu(II) salts such as Cu(NO3)2 and Cu(OAc)2. A structural study of the complex derived from Cu(OAc)2 (1) revealed a Cu(II)2 core encircled by a [18]ane-N6 ligand and two mu-O-OAc ligands. The facile replacement of mu-O-OAc by a phosphate monoester [PO3(OR)2-] yielded a number of bis(phosphate monoester)dicopper complexes with ROPO3(2-) as hydrogen phosphate (HPO4(2-), 3a), phenyl phosphate [PO3(OPh)2-, 3b], glycerol 2-phosphate [PO3(OCH(CH2OH)2)2-, 3c], alpha-d-gluocose phosphate [PO3(C6H11O6)2-, 3d], and dl-alpha-glycerol phosphate [PO3(OCH2CHOHCH2OH)2-, 3e]. Structural studies of compounds 3a-d confirmed both the retention of the Cu2{[18]ane-N6} core and a mu-O-PO3(OR) coordination mode. Displacement of acetate by a phosphate monoester in an aqueous solution was accompanied by a significant change in the visible absorption, which enables the establishment of relative association constants of PO3(OR)2- on the order of 10(4) in the unbuffered solution and 10(3) in the buffered solution (HEPES). Measurement of the magnetic susceptibility of compound 3a over the temperature range of 5-300 K and subsequent modeling revealed a weak antiferromagnetic coupling (J = -1.1 cm(-1)) between two Cu(II) centers.

Selective inclusion of PO4(3-) within persistent dimeric capsules of a tris(thiourea) receptor and evidence of cation/solvent sealed unimolecular capsules

A tren-based tris(thiourea) receptor, L with electron-withdrawing p-nitrophenyl terminals has been established as a competent hydrogen-bonding scaffold that can selectively encapsulate PO(4)(3-) within persistent and rigid dimeric capsules, assembled by aromatic π-stacking interactions between the receptor side-arms. A quaternary ammonium salt of PO(4)(3-) capsules (complexes 1 and 1b, 2:1 host-guest) can reproducibly be obtained in quantitative yields by a solution-state deprotonation of [HL](+) moieties and a bound HPO(4)(2-) anion of complex 1a (HPO(4)(2-) complex of protonated L, 2:1 host-guest), induced by the presence of a large excess of anions such as HCO(3)(-), CH(3)CO(2)(-), and F(-). Qualitative as well as quantitative (1)H and (31)P NMR experiments (DMSO-d(6)) have been carried out in detail to demonstrate the selective and preferential inclusion of PO(4)(3-) by L in solution-states. Competitive crystallization experiments performed in the presence of an excess of anions such as HCO(3)(-), HSO(4)(-), CH(3)CO(2)(-), NO(3)(-) and halides (F(-) and Cl(-)) further establish the phenomenon of selective PO(4)(3-) encapsulation as confirmed by (1)H NMR, (31)P NMR, FT-IR and powder X-ray diffraction patterns of the isolated crystals. X-ray structural analyses and (31)P NMR studies of the isolated crystals of phosphate complexes (1, 1a and 1b) provide evidence of the binding discrepancy of inorganic phosphates with protonated and neutral form of L. Furthermore, extensive studies have been carried out with other anions of different sizes and dimensions in solid- and solution-states (complexes 2a, 3, 4 and 5). Crystal structure elucidation revealed the formation of a solvent (DMSO) sealed unimolecular capsule in the F(-) encapsulated complex, 2a (1:1 host-guest), a CO(3)(2-) encapsulated centrosymmetric molecular capsule in 3 (2:1 host-guest) and a cation (tetrabutylammonium) sealed SO(4)(2-) encapsulated unimolecular capsule in 4 (1:1 host-guest). 2D-NOESY NMR experiments carried out on these capsule complexes further confirm the relevant binding stoichiometry of complexes (2a-4) except for the PO(4)(3-)-encapsulated complex (1b) which showed a 1:1 host-guest stoichiometry in solution.     

New fluorenyl-substituted ditopic dioxotetraamine ligands and their copper(II) complexes--synthesis, crystal structure, magnetic properties and solution behavior

A new fluorenyl-substituted dioxotetraamine salicylaldehyde Schiff-base ligand (L1) has been synthesized by the non-template 1 + 2 condensation of ligand 6-(9-fluorenyl)-1,4,8,11-tetraazaundecane-5,7-dione (L) with salicylaldehyde. From reduction of L1 with an excess of NaBH4, a ditopic dioxotetraamine ligand (L2) has been obtained. The copper(II) complex of L1 has been synthesized and its properties were examined by ES-MS and variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility as well as its crystal structure being determined. Detailed studies have been made on solution chemistry of Cu(II) complex of L2 by pH-potentiometric and fluorometric titration.     

Sur le dosage argentométrique de l'anion phosphorique

1. In aqueous solutions of phosphoric acid or alcali phosphates, the PO₄^-3can be determined by potentiometric titraition with silver nitrate PO₄^-3 + 3 Ag⁺ ár unAg₃PO₄↓The pH value of the solution is maintained about 9 by using borax-buffer 2 The determination of phosphate ion is also possible by precipitation of Ag₃PO₄ with an excess of silver nitrate, the pH of the solution is adjusted between 7 and 8 by using a new buffer mixture containing NH₄⁺, NHXXX, and Ag⁺. After diluting the solution up to a known volume and filtering through dry filter paper, the excess of silver is determined by potentiometric titration with potassium bromide. This method gives very good results, it is applicable in the presence of Mg⁺² and Ca⁺². The presence of Fe⁺³ and Al⁺³ hinders the determination of the phosphate ion. 3. The properties of the ,,ammonium-silverdiamme” buffer system are described. This buffer contains NH₄⁺, NH₃ and Ag⁺ (the latter in excess with regard to NH₃)
