Spectrophotometric Studies of Nickel(II) and Copper(II) Chelates of p-(2-Hydroxy-1-Naphthylazo)-Benzenesulphonate

The ionization constant of p-(2-hydroxy-1-naphthylazo)benzene-sulphonate (Orange II) and the formation constants of the metal chelates of this reagent with Ni(II) and Cu(II) have been determined spectrophotometrically in aqueous solution at 25° and at an ionic strength of 0.10M. The ionization constant of orange II was found to be pK_a=10.95. Formation of orange II chelates with Ni(II) and Cu(II) was pH dependent, and the optimum pH range of the Ni(II) Chelate was at pH 9.2-9.4, and Cu(II) chelate at 9.5-9.7, respectively. The mole ratio of orange II to both of metal ions was found to be 2 to 1 stoichiometry. The formation constants (logK) of the Ni(II) and Cu(II) chelates were 12.50 and 16.11, respectively. The molar extinction coefficients and the photometric sensitivities of these chelates were determined.     

Studies on imidazole derivatives as chelating agents-IV Stability constants of the metal chelates of azoimidazoles

Chelating abilities of several azoimidazoles containing a hydroxy and/or a dimethylanuno group, and the structures of their copper chelates, were investigated. 1-(5-Methyl-4-imidazolylazo)-2-naphthol(IAN) formed a brown-black chelate having the composition Cu(ligand)Br whereas 4-(5-methyl-4-imidazolylazo)dimethylaminobenzene (DAI) formed a reddish brown chelate Cu(ligand)(2)Br(2).2H(2)O. The contribution of the phenolic OH and the imino NH group to the binding with copper is discussed from the infrared spectra. The metal : ligand ratios of the Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II) chelates were determined by the method of continuous variations and their stability constants were determined at 25 degrees in 50% v v dioxane-water by the Bjerrum-Calvin method. The OH-containing azoimidazoles were found to form stable chelates with logK(1)K(2) values 14.9-25.4 and the stabilities approximately followed the Mellor-Maley stability sequence. The compound DAI, which has no OH group, formed weak chelates with Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II).     

Metal complexes of 4-(2'-thiazolylazo)-resorcinol A comparative study with 4-(2'-pyridylazo)-resorcinol

The acid dissociation constants of 4-(2'-thiazolylazo)-resorcinol (TAR) and the formation constants of the metal complexes formed by this reagent with Cu(II), Ni(II), Co(II), Zn(II) and Mn(II) have been determined potentiometrically at 25° in 50% v/v mixtures of dioxane and water. The values obtained for TAR and the metal complexes are contrasted with similar values for the reagent 4-(2'-pyridylazo)-resorcinol (PAR). Differences and similarities between the co-ordinating tendencies of these two reagents are revealed in terms of the proton displacement constant and the acid dissociation constants of the metal complexes. Evidence is presented which suggests that both TAR and PAR may act as terdentate ligands toward some bivalent metal ions.     

Potentiometric, spectroscopic and thermal studies on the metal chelates of 1-(2-thiazolylazo)-2-naphthalenol

The synthesis and characterization of Mn(II), Fe(III), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Cd(II), Pd(II) and UO2(II) chelates of 1-(2-thiazolylazo)-2-naphthalenol (TAN) were reported. The dissociation constants of the ligand and the stability constants of the metal complexes were calculated pH-metrically at 25 degrees C and 0.1 M ionic strength. The solid complexes were characterized by elemental and thermal analyses, molar conductance, IR, magnetic and diffuse reflectance spectra. The complexes were found to have the formulae [M(L)2] for M = Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II); [M(L)X].nH2O for M = Cu(II) (X = AcO, n = 3), Pd(II) (X = Cl, n = 0) and UO2(II) (X = NO3, n = 0), and [Fe(L)Cl2(H2O)].2H2O. The molar conductance data reveal that the chelates are non-electrolytes. IR spectra show that the ligand is coordinated to the metal ions in a terdentate manner with ONN donor sites of the naphthyl OH, azo N and thiazole N. An octahedral structure is proposed for Mn(II), Fe(III), Co(II), Ni(II), Zn(II), Cd(II) and UO2(II) complexes and a square planar structure for Cu(II) and Pd(II) complexes. The thermal behaviour of these chelates shows that water molecules (coordinated and hydrated) and anions are removed in two successive steps followed immediately by decomposition of the ligand molecule in the subsequent steps. The relative thermal stability of the chelates is evaluated. The final decomposition products are found to be the corresponding metal oxides. The thermodynamic activation parameters, such as E*, delta H*, delta S* and delta G* are calculated from the TG curves.     

Poly(crotonic acid-co-2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic acid)-metal complexes with copper(II), cobalt(II), and nickel(II): Synthesis, characterization and antimicrobial activity

Poly(crotonic acid-co-2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic acid) [P(CrA-co-AMPS)] (44.22:55.78) copolymer was prepared in N,N-dimethylformamide solution using the benzoyl peroxide (Bz₂O₂) as initiator. Cu(II), Ni(II) and Co(II) chelates of the copolymer were prepared and the formation constants of each complex were determined by the mole-ratio method using UV-vis spectroscopy. UV-vis studies showed that the complex formation tendency increased in the followed order: Cu(II) > Ni(II) > Co(II). The copolymer and its metal chelates were characterized by FTIR, TGA, X-ray diffraction and SEM analysis. Also, in vitro antimicrobial activity of the polymers were tested on various bacteria, and yeast.     

Structure and behavior of organic analytical reagents : Heats and entropies of formation of several divalent metal chelates of 2- and 4-methyl-8-hydroxyquinoline1

The Calvin-Bjerrum titration technique for the determination of chelate formation constants has been applied to the Cu(II), Ni(II), Co(II), Zn(II) and Mn(II) chelates of 2- and 4-methyl-8-hydroxyquinoline. Measurements were made at several temperatures in order to evaluate ΔH and ΔS values of chelation. The results obtained were interpreted in terms of steric hindrance of the 2-methyl group. In all cases the heats of formation of the chelates of 2-methyl-8-hydroxyquinoline were remarkably morepositive than those for the corresponding chelates of 4-methyl-8-hydroxyquinoline. This large difference in the strengths of the metal-chelate bonds is apparently due to the hindrance of the methyl groups which prevent the close grouping of the two reagent molecules around the metal in chelates of 2-methyl-8-hydroxyquinoline. The lower bond strength in chelates of 2-methyl-8-hydroxy-quinoline is partially compensated by a relatively larger entropy of formation. This is attributed to decreased solvent chelate interaction caused by the shielding of the polar O, N, and metal atoms by the 2-methyl groups. The determination of chelate fortmation constants of 2-phenyl-8-hydroxyqumoline has been carried out to further extend our study of steric effects in metal chelates.     

Reversed-phase ion-pair high performance liquid chromatographic determination of Co(III)-, Ni(II)-, V(V)- and Fe(III)-2-(2-benzothiazolylazo)-5-(3-sulforpropyl)aminophenol chelates

The separation and determination of Co(III), Ni(II), V(V) and Fe(III) chelates with 2-(2-benzothiazolylazo)-5-(3-sulfopropyl)aminophenol (BTASPAP) by reversed-phase ion-pair HPLC was investigated. In the presence of the oxidant potassium iodate, BTASPAP reacts with Co(III), Ni(II), V(V) and Fe(III) to form stable, negatively charged, water-soluble chelates. The chelates were separated on a C(18) siloxane bonded phase and eluted within 7 min with acetonitrile-acetate-water (36:1:63 v/v) containing 0.2 mol 1(-1) acetic acid-sodium acetate buffer (pH 3.0) and 1.0 mmol 1(-1) tetrabutylammonium bromide. The detection limits of Co(III), Ni(II), V(V) and Fe(III) at 565 nm are 0.3, 0.8, 0.3 and 1.0 ng (signal-to-noise ratio = 2), respectively. The method was applied to the determination of Co, Ni, V and Fe in four samples of standard alloys.     

Synthesis, spectral characterization, solution equilibria, in vitro antibacterial and cytotoxic activities of Cu(II), Ni(II), Mn(II), Co(II) and Zn(II) complexes with Schiff base derived from 5-bromosalicylaldehyde and 2-aminomethylthiophene

Schiff base namely 2-aminomethylthiophenyl-4-bromosalicylaldehyde (ATS)(4-bromo-2-(thiophen-2-yl-imino)methylphenol) and its metal complexes have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, IR, 1H NMR, solid reflectance, magnetic moment, molar conductance, mass spectra, ESR and thermal analysis (TGA). The analytical data of the complexes show the formation of 1:2 [M:L] ratio of the formula [ML2], where M represents Ni(II), Zn(II) and Cu(II) ions, while L represents the deprotonated Schiff base. IR spectra show that ATS is coordinated to the metal ions in a bidentate manner through azomethine-N and phenolic-oxygen groups. The ligand and their metal chelates have been screened for their antimicrobial activities using the disc diffusion method against the selected bacteria. A cytotoxicity of the compounds against colon (HCT116) and larynx (HEP2) cancer cells have been studied. Protonation constants of (ATS) ligand and stability constants of its Cu2+, Co2+, Mn2+, Zn2+ and Ni2+ complexes were determined by potentiometric titration method in 50% (v/v) DMSO-water solution at ionic strength of 0.1 M NaNO3.     

Zur Bestimmung der Komplexstabilität aus massenspektrometrischen Daten

On the Evaluation of Complex Stability from Mass Spectrometric Data Mass spectrometric data and potentiometric stability constants (75% v/v dioxane/water) of Ni(II) and Cu(II) 1:2 chelates of several N-Benzoyl(thio)benzamides and N-Benzoyl(thio, seleno)ureas are compared. It turns out, that the % total ion stream (% TIS) correlates fairly well in a logarithmical plot against the cumulative stability constant of the chelates.     

Potentiometric study of the Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II) complexes with 3-hydroxy-2-naphthalene carboxylic acid

Formation constants of Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II) complexes with 3-hydroxy-2-naphthalene carboxylic acid have been determined potentiometrically in a 50% (v/v) dioxane—water solution at 25°C and 0.2 M KNO₃. Experimental data are analysed using several computer programs. The obtained values for the log of the formation constant of the first 1 : 1 (metal : ligand) complex with the different metals are: Co 7.9, Ni 7.1, Cu 10.44, Zn 7.8 and Cd 7.3. The log of the formation constant for the 1 : 2 copper complex is 18.20. It is to be noted that Ni(II) yields a 1 : 1 complex weaker than expected from the Irving—Williams series.     

Potentiometric Studies of Some Bivalent Metal Ion Complexes of a New Ligand,o-(2-Thiazolylazo)-4-Ethylphenol

Abstract

The complexations of a new ligand, o-(2-thiazolylazo)-4-ethylphenol(TAEP) with Ca(II), Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Cd(II), Hq(II) and Pb(II) have been studied by potentiometric titrations, at 25.0 ± 0.2°C and an ionic strength of 0.1 in 30% v/v dioxane-water mixture. The dissociation constant and spectral data of TAEP and formation constants of the complexes containing various molar ratios of metal ion to ligand, are reported. It is observed that Ca(II) forms only an ML complex in any molar ratios, whereas other metal ions react in two steps forming ML and ML₂ complexes in a 1:3 molar ratio. In the case of 1:1 and 1:2 molar ratios, Mn(II), Co(II), Cd(II) and Hg(II) seemed to form bi- or poly-nuclear complexes because of slightly different formation curves from those of 1:3 molar ratio. The sequence of the first successive formation constant is Cu > Hg > Ni > Pb > Co > Zn > Cd > Mn > Ca, showing Mellor-Maley's order. Further correlation is shown between the formation constants and the second ionization potentials of the metals.     

Reversed-phase HPLC determination of Co(II), Ni(II) and Fe(III) as their 2-(2-thiazolylazo)-5-dimethylaminophenol chelates

The optimum chromatographic separation conditions for Co(II), Ni(II), and Fe(III) chelates with 2-(2-thiazolylazo)-5-dimethylaminophenol (TAM) were investigated. The compositions of chelates were also determined by the HPLC method and thus the possible structure of chelates was given. A precolumn derivatization method was used, followed by separation on an octyl-bonded silica stationary phase with a methanol-tetrahydrofuran-water (40:9:51, v/v/v) mobile phase containing pH 5.8 acetate buffer and 1 x 10(-4)M TAM. The detection limits of Co(II), Ni(II), and Fe(III) at 560 nm are 0.03, 0.02 and 0.1 ng (S N = 2 ), respectively. They can be determined by means of the proposed method without interference from other common metal ions and have been determined in five standard alloys with satisfactory results.     

Transition Metal Complexes of an Antipyrine Derivative

The stepwise formation constants of N-antipyrinyl-N′-3-phenyl-2-propenoyl-thiourea (I) complexes with metal ions of the first transition series, Cu(II), Ni(II), Co(II), Mn(II) and Zn(II) have been determined in 70% (V/V) ethanol-water medium. The formation constants for the chelates follow the Irving-Williams series: Zn(II)<Cu(II)>Ni(II)>Co(II)>Mn(II) The effect of ionic radius and electronegativity on the chelate formation are discussed. Complexes of Cu(II) and Ni(II) have been synthesised and characterised by elemental analysis, electrolytic conductance, IR spectra and magnetic susceptibility measurements. The ligand forms bis-complexes with Cu(II) and Ni(II). The binding sites are oxygen and sulphur atoms.     

Study of free-radical copolymerization of itaconic acid/2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic acid and their metal chelates

The monomer reactivity ratios for itaconic acid (IA)/2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic acid (AMPS) in N,N-dimethylformamide solution using the benzoyl peroxide (Bz₂O₂) as an initiator with different monomer-to-monomer ratios in the feed were investigated by studying the resulting copolymer composition via elemental analysis. Composition results were summarized and various methods were employed to estimate the monomer reactivity ratios including the use of the Error-in Variables-Model method using a computer program, RREVM. The estimates of the reactivity ratios from the EVM method are found to be r_IA = 0.4636 and r_AMPS = 0.0357. These values suggest that IA is more reactive than AMPS and the copolymer will be richer in IA units. Cu(II) and Ni(II) chelates of the copolymers were prepared and the formation constants of each complex were determined by the mole-ratio method using the UV-vis spectroscopy. UV-vis studies showed that the complex formation tendency increased in the followed order: Cu(II) > Ni(II). The copolymers and their metal chelates were characterized by FT-IR spectra and SEM analysis. Also, thermal stabilities of the copolymers and their metal chelates were investigated using TGA and DSC analysis.     

Spectroscopic studies on 2-[2-(4-methylquinolin-2-yl)hydrazono]-1,2-diphenylethanone molecule and its metal complexes

The electronic absorption spectra of a hydrazone: 2-[2-(4-methylquinolin-2-yl)hydrazono]-1,2-diphenylethanone (BHQ) derived from 2-hydrazino-4-methylquinoline and 1,2-diphenylethan-1,2-dione (benzil) have been studied in various solvents of different polarities. The dependence of the band shift Δύ on the solvent parameters viz. D, Z, E_T, DN, AN, α, β and π* was discussed. Also, the effect of pH on the free hydrazone and its Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes was studied spectrophotometrically in 75% (v/v) dioxane–water in order to determine the dissociation and stability constants. The stoichiometry of the formed complexes was determined by three different methods: Job's, mole ratio and slope ratio which indicate the formation of 1:2, M:L complexes for Co(II) and Cu(II) and 1:1, Ni(II):L. Beer's law is valid in the range 0.32–7.04 μg/mL depending on the type of the metal ion. The use of BHQ as an indicator via a spectrophotometric titration of Cu(II) and Ni(II) with EDTA was efficient.     

Synthesis of 2-[2-(8-hydroxyquinolyl)azo]-1-naphthol and its use in the spectrophotometric determination of calcium in potable water

The synthesis of a novel reagent, 2-[2-(8-hydroxyquinolyl)azo]-1-naphthol (HQAN), is described. The acidity constants of the reagent and its reactions with various metal ions are reported. The HQAN reagent forms a soluble calcium chelate in 50% (v/v) dioxane/ water at pH > 8.5 (? = 24 000 l mol^?1 cm ^t-1 at 570 nm). It also forms chelates with magnesium, other alkaline earth metals, and ivalent Mn, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd and Pb. These interferences (except for Mn) can be avaoided by pH adjustment or by adding masking agents, and a very simple procedure for the determination of calcium in potable waters is obtained.     

Thermodynamics,formation constants,spectrophotometry and infrared spectroscopy of complexes between some divalent metal ions and 3-hydrazino-6-phenylpyridazine and related ligands

The stepwise formation constants of complexes of Cu(II), Ni(II), Co(II), Mn(II), Zn(II), Cd(II) and UO₂(II) ions with 3-hydrazino-6-phenylpyridazine (HPP) and its condensation products with benzil (BHPP) and p-methoxyacetophenone (p-MeOAHPP) were determined in a 75% (v/v) dioxane-water mixture at μ = 0.05 M (KNC₃). The effect of temperature (at 10, 20, 30 and 40 °C) was also examined for Cu(II) and UO₂(II)-BHPP complexes. The overall changes in ΔG, ΔH and ΔS have been calculated. The solid complexes of Cu(II)-, Co(II)- and Ni(II)-BHPP were prepared and examined by elemental analysis and IR spectroscopy. Analysis of the data indicates chelation of the BHPP ligand through the nitrogens of both hydrazone and the pyridazine ring and the carbonyl oxygen group. The spectrophotometric studies were performed on solutions of Cu(II), Ni(II) and Co(II) with BHPP in order to obtain the optimum pH values for complex formation. The compositions of the chelates formed were determined. Analytical determinations of the micro amounts of Cu(II), Ni(II) and Co(II) were also done using BHPP as the complexing agent.     

Stability constants and thermodynamic parameters of Mn2+, Co2+, Ni2+ Cu2+, Zn2+, Cd2+, UO2(2+), Th4+, Ce3+ and Pr3+-complexes with some Schiff base hydrazones containing the pyrimidine moiety

Proton-ligand dissociation and metal-ligand formation constants of 2-amino-4-chloro-6-[alpha-(phenyl)ethylidenehydrazino]pyrimidine; (AHP) and its p-chloro (ClAHP) and p-methoxy (OMeAHP) derivatives (Str.I&II) with Mn2+, Co2+ Ni2+, Cu2+, Zn2+, Cd2+, UO2(2+), Th4+, Ce3+ and Pr3+ ions have been evaluated potentiometrically in 75% (v/v) dioxane-water and 0.1 mol dm(-3) KNO3. The thermodynamic functions (deltaG, deltaH and deltaS) for the complexation of OMeAHP were evaluated and discussed. The effect of the temperature, dielectric constant of the solvents, mole fraction of dioxane and ionic strength of the medium on the stability of Pr3+-complexes show that the stability of the chelates increases by increasing both the electron repelling property of the substituents and the organic solvent content, and by decreasing the temperature, the ionic strength and the dielectric constant of the medium.     

Reversed-phase ion-pair partition liquid chromatography of chelates with 2-(3,5-dibromo-2-pyridylazo)-5-[N-ethyl-N-(3-sulphopropyl) amino] phenol and analogues

The ion-pair reversed-phase chromatography of some transition metal chelates with 2-(3,5-dibromo-2-pyridylazo)-5-[N-ethyl-N-(3-sulphopropyl)amino]phenol (3,5-diBr-PAESPAP) was studied. 3,5-DiBr-PAESPAP and its V(V), Cr(III), Fe(II), Co(III) and Ni(II) chelates were retained on and the copper (II), zinc(II) and cadmium(II) chelates dissociated in an ODS column using acetonitrile/water (37+63, v/v) (pH 7.0) containing 0.01 M acetate, 0.01 M 3-(N-morpholino)propanesulphonate buffer (pH 7.0) and 0.05 M Na⁺ as mobile phase. The chromatograms of 3,5-diBr-PAESPAP chelates were compared with those of the chelates with 2-(3,5-dibromo- 2-pyridylazo)-5-[N-(3-sulphopropyl)amino]phenol (3,5-diBr-PASPAP),2-(5-bromo-2- pyridylazo)-5-[N-(3-sulphopropyl)amino]phenol and 2-(5-bromo-2-pyridylazo)-5-[N-propyl-N- (3-sulphopropyl)amino] phenol. With 3,5-diBr-PAESPAP the Fe(II) and Ni(II) chelates were not resolved, but resolution was achieved with 3,5-diBr-PASPAP. The calibration graphs were linear over the ranges 2.0–10.0 ng (10-μl injection) of Fe, Ni and Co and for 20–100 ng (10-μl injection) for V with 3,5-diBr-PAESPAP and 3,5-diBr-PASPAP.     

Thermodynamics of substituted pyrazolone IX: potentiometric, spectrophotometric and conductometeric studies of 4-(4-chlorophenylazo)-3-methyl-1-[2-hydroxy-3-morphilinopropane 1-yl]-2-pyrazolin-5-one and its metal complexes.

The dissociation constants of 4-(4-chlorophenylazo)-3-methyl-1-[2-hydroxy-3-morphilinopropane-1-yl]-2-pyrazolin-5-one (CAMP) has been determined potentiometrically in 0.1 M KCl and 40% (v/v) ethanol-water mixture. The stepwise stability constants of the formed complexes of Mn2+, Co2+, Ni2+, Cu2+, Zn2+, La3+, Ce3+ and UO(2)2+, with CAMP have been determined. The stability of the formed complexes were found as follows: UO(2)2+ > Ce3+ > La3+ > Mn2+ < Co2+ < Ni2+ < Cu+ > Zn2+. The thermodynamic parameters (deltaG, deltaH and deltaS) for CAMP and its complexes were evaluated and discussed. The dissociation process is non-spontaneous, endothermic and entropically unfavourable. The formation of the complexes have been found to be spontaneous, exothermic or endothermic (depending on the metal) and entropically favourable. The stoichiometries of these complexes were determined spectrophotometrically and conductometrically and indicated the formation of 1:1 and 1:2 (metal:ligand) complexes.
