Reaction of [TcNCl4]− with ethylenediamine-N,N'-diacetic acid ligand

The reaction of [^99mTcNCl₄]^– with ethylenediamine-N,N'-diacetic acid (ENDA) has been studied. Starting from [^99mTcNCl₄]^– prepared according to the method of Apparu et al.6, the exchange reaction with ENDA in the presence of stannous tartrate led to the formation of an anionic^99mTcN-ENDA complex. The labeling yield was about 90% at pH values of 10.5 and 6.5. In the absence of the reducing agent the formation of^99mTcO₄ ^– is reflected in the decrease of the complex yield. The exchange reaction of [⁹⁹TcNCl₄]^– with ENDA at pH 6.5 and in the absence of a reducing agent resulted in the formation of the anionic⁹⁹TcN-ENDA complex and⁹⁹TcO₄ ^–. The spectrophotometric characteristics (UV-vis. and IR) of the pure complex are similar to those of some tcN²⁺-complexes with amine ligands. The electrophoretic and chromatographic behaviors of^99mTcN- and⁹⁹TcN-ENDA anions are identical; this proves the formation of the same complex with both radionuclides.     

Separation selectivity of anionic metal complexes of N,N'-bis(hydroxybenzyl)ethylenediamine-N,N'-diacetic acid in ion and ion electrokinetic chromatography

The complexes of Fe(III), Co(III), Mn(III), Al(III), Cu(II), Ni(II), Cd(II) and Zn(II) with N,N'-bis(hydroxybenzyl)ethylenediamine-N,N'-diacetic acid (HBED) were separated by ion exchange in different modes: ion chromatography (IC) and ion electrokinetic chromatography (IEKC). In column IC these complexes were separated on an IonPac AS4a anion-exchange column (Dionex, USA). Parameters of the background electrolyte that were examined in IEKC mode include polymer, competing ion concentration and pH. The use of poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDADMACl) as a modifier in IEKC provides separation selectivity only slightly different from that observed in IC on the IonPac AS4a column. Optimal separation conditions were found to be: 0.1 mM HBED, 50 mM PDADMAOH, 10 mM Na2 B4 O7, pH adjusted to 10 with acetic acid. The use of an aromatic ligand allowed a 10-fold decrease in detection limits of metal ions in comparison with previously studied EDTA. A separation efficiency up to 400,000 theoretical plates was demonstrated for IEKC.     

Energetics of lead(II), cadmium(II) and zinc(II) complexes with amino acids

The molar heat capacity and the standard (p ⁰ = 0.1 MPa) molar enthalpies of formation of the crystalline of bis(glycinate)lead(II), Pb(gly)₂; bis(dl-alaninate)lead(II), Pb(dl-ala)₂; bis(dl-valinate)lead(II), Pb(dl-val)₂; bis(dl-valinate)cadmium(II), Cd(dl-val)₂ and bis(dl-valinate)zinc(II), Zn(dl-val)₂, were determined, at T = 298.15 K, by differential scanning calorimetry, and high precision solution-reaction calorimetry, respectively. The standard molar enthalpies of formation of the complexes in the gaseous state, the mean molar metal–ligand dissociation enthalpies, M(II)–amino acid, \( \langle D_{\text{m}} \rangle \)(M–L), were derived and compared with analogous copper(II)–ligand and nickel(II)–ligand.θθ

Acetylsalicylhydroxamic acid and its cobalt(II), nickel(II), copper(II) and zinc(II) complexes

Acetylsalicylhydroxamic acid (AcSHA) was prepared and characterized. Its pK_a value was determined as 7.78. Solid metal complexes of AcSHA were also prepared and characterized by elemental analysis, electronic and i.r. spectroscopies, and by magnetic moment measurements. The shift of both hydroxamic and acetyl carbonyl vibrations to lower frequencies clearly indicates that AcSHA is bonded through oxygen atoms to the metal ions as a tridentate ligand. On the basis of the experimental data, structures for the complexes are purposed.     

Potentiometric determination of stability constants of cyanoacetato complexes of cobalt(II), nickel(II), copper(II), zinc(II), cadmium(II) and lead(II)

Thermal decomposition kinetics of vanillidene anthranilic acid complexes of cobalt(II), nickel(II), copper(II) and zinc(II)

The thermal decomposition of cobalt(II), nickel(II), copper(II) and zinc(II) complexes of the Schiff base vanillidene anthranilic acid was studied by TG. The chelates show somewhat similar TG plots when heated in an atmosphere of air. Thermoanalytical data (TG and DTG) of these chelates are presented in this communication. Interpretation and mathematical analysis of these data and evaluation of order of reaction, the energy and entropy of activation based on the differential method employing the Freeman-Carroll equation, the integral method using Coats-Redfern equation and the approximation method using the Horowitz-Metzger equation are also given. On the basis of experimental findings in the present course of studies, it is concluded that the relative thermal stability of vanillidene anthranilic acid chelates can be aligned as Co(II)Ni(II)>Zn(II)>Cu(II).

Protolytic dissociation mechanisms and comparative acid stabilities of palladium(II), zinc(II), copper(II), and nickel(II) complexes of alkylated dipyrrins

Complexes of Pd(II), Cu(II), Ni(II), and Zn(II) with alkylated dipyrrins (Hdpm) were synthesized and characterized by physicochemical and spectroscopic methods. Protolytic dissociation kinetics of these complexes in benzene in the presence of acetic and trichloroacetic acid was studied. A protonated dipyrrin is the reaction product of protolytic dissociation of the complexes in acid solutions. The observed and true dissociation rate constants, as well as activation reaction parameters, were calculated. Kinetic models of the processes are proposed, and the patterns of influence of the ligand nature on dissociation kinetics were determined. The Pd(II) complexes proved to be much more stable than other those of the other metals, according to the results of the kinetic studies. The lability of the complexes strongly depends on the length and position of the alkyl substituent of the ligand. The dissociation of the Ni(II) complex gives a heteroligand complex at low concentrations of acid, but the complex undergoes full protolytic dissociation at higher concentrations of acid. The dissociation of the complex of Cu(II) is an equilibrium process, involving formation of the protonated form of the ligand.     

Formation of copper(II), zinc(II), silver(I) and lead(II) ferrocyanides

The factors influencing the formation of metal hexacyano-ferrate(II) complexes have been examined and the experimental conditions leading to formation of M(2)Fe(CN)(6), and K(2)M(3)[Fe(CN)(6)](2) have been studied, where M is Cu(II) or Zn(II); Ag(I) yields Ag(4)Fe(CN)(6). and KAg(3)Fe(CN)(6) and Pb(II) yields only Pb(2)Fe(CN)(6). Measurements made at constant ionic strength obtained by addition of K(2)SO(4) show how the potassium ion affects the stabilization of the complexes. The free energy changes and K(sp) values for the complexes have been calculated.     

Complexes of dicamba with cadmium(II), copper(II), mercury(II), lead(II) and zinc(II)

New solid complexes of a herbicide known as dicamba (3,6-dichloro-2-methoxybenzoic acid) with Pb(II), Cd(II), Cu(II) and Hg(II) of the general formula M(dicamba)₂·xH₂O (M=metal, x=0-2) and Zn₂(OH)(dicamba)₃·2H₂O have been prepared and studied. The complexes have different crystal structures. The carboxylate groups in the lead, cadmium and copper complexes are bidentate, chelating, symmetrical, in Hg(dicamba)₂·2H₂O - unidentate, and in the zinc salt - bidentate, bridging, symmetrical. The anhydrous compounds decompose in three stages, except for the lead salt whose decomposition proceeds in four stages. The main gaseous decomposition products are CO₂, CH₃OH, HCl and H₂O. Trace amounts of compounds containing an aromatic ring were also detected. The final solid decomposition products are oxychlorides of metals and CuO. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Synthesis and thermodynamics of lead(II), manganese(II), and cobalt(II) pivalate complexes

Manganese and cobalt oxopivalates and lead pivalate have been synthesized, mass spectral and thermogravimetric analysis have been performed. Sublimation enthalpies of cobalt and manganese oxopivalates have been determined for the first time, while the sublimation enthalpy of lead pivalate has been found to agree well with literature data. Low sublimation enthalpy, high volatility, and monomolecular composition of gas phase allow one to use these complexes as precursors for preparing oxide films and materials by MOCVD method.     

Synthesis, characterization and structure of complexes of o-aminophenol-N,N,O-triacetic acid with cobalt(II), nickel(II), manganese(II) and zinc(II)

The potassium salt of o-aminophenol-N,N,O-triacetic acid (APTA) and KMnL·H₂O, KCoL·3H₂O, KNiL·3H₂O, KZnL·3ZH₂O, Co(CoL)₂·7H₂O and Ni(NiL)₂·8H₂O(L³⁻:anion of APTA) have been synthesized and characterized by elementary analysis, thermogravimetric analysis, molar conductance, IR spectra, magnetic measurements and electronic spectra. The coordination environments of these metal ions have been discussed on the basis of these studies. The single crystal structure of cobalt(II)-APTA has been determined as CoL·0.5Co(H₂O)₆·4H₂O, which contains two types of cobalt(II). One type of cobalt(II) is coordinated with six water molecules to form Co(H₂O)₆²⁺, the other is chelated by APTA to form a distorted octahedron and linked into an infinite chain anion [COC₆H₄(OCH₂COO)N(CH₂COO)₂⁻]_n, in which each cobalt(II) atom is linked with neighbouring cobalt(II) atoms through two carboxylate oxygen atoms of the phenoxyacetate group. Water molecules occupy interstices in the structure.     

N-acetyl-DL-leucinate cobalt(II), nickel(II) and zinc(II) complexes

Summary Complexes of the type M(AcLeu)₂ · B₂ (M = Co^II, Ni^II or Zn^II; B = H₂O, py, 3-pic, 4-pic; AcLeu =N-acetyl-DL-leucinate ion) and M(AcLeu)₂ B (M = Co^II or Zn^II and B = o-phen) were prepared and investigated by means of magnetic and spectroscopic measurements. The i.r. spectra of all the complexes are consistent with bidentate coordination of the amino acid to the metal ion. The room temperature solid state electronic spectra indicate that the symmetry of this species is closer toD _4h and that MO₆ and MO₄N₂ chromophores are present in the M(AcLeu)₂ · 2 H₂O and M(AcLeu)₂B_n · x H₂O (B = py, 3-pic, 4-pic, n=2 and x=0 for M = Ni^II; B = o-phen, n=1 and x=0 for M = Co^II; B = py, 3-pic, 4-pic, n=1 and x=1 for M = Co^II) complexes, respectively. By comparing the Dq values of the amino acid and those of other N-substituted amino acids previously studied, a spectrochemical series of the the cobalt(II) and nickel(II) complexes is proposed. The¹ H n.m.r. spectra of the zinc(II) complexes confirm the proposed stereochemistry.     

Copper(II) and zinc(II) complexes with 2-formylpyridine-derived hydrazones

In the present work 2-formylpyridine-para-chloro-phenyl hydrazone (H2FopClPh) and 2-formylpyridine-para-nitro-phenyl hydrazone (H2FopNO₂Ph) were obtained, as well as their copper(II) and zinc(II) complexes [Cu(H2FopClPh)Cl₂] (1), [Cu(2FopNO₂Ph)Cl] (2), [Zn(H2FopClPh)Cl₂] (3) and [Zn(H2FopNO₂Ph)Cl₂] (4). Upon re-crystallization in DMSO:acetone conversion of 2 into [Cu(2FopNO₂Ph)Cl(DMSO)] (2a) and of 4 into [Zn(2FopNO₂Ph)Cl(DMSO)] (4a) occurred. The crystal structures of 1, 2a, 3 and 4a were determined.

The stereochemistry of the complexes have been studied with the help of magnetic and electronic measurements. The anomalous magnetic moments observed in all cases have been explained. The i.r. spectral studies have been used to determine the bonding sites in the complexes.

Syntheses,molecular structure,and electrochemical investigations of cobalt(II), copper(II), palladium(II), and zinc(II) complexes with 3-methylpyrazole

Mononuclear complexes of 3-methylpyrazole with general formulas (3-Mepz)₄CuCl₂ (1), (3-Mepz)₄CoCl₂ (2), (3-Mepz)₂PdCl₂ (3), and (3-Mepz)₂ZnCl₂ (4) were prepared by reaction of the corresponding MCl₂ salt (M?=?Cu, Co, Pd, and Zn) with 3-methylpyrazole in appropriate amounts using acetonitrile as solvent at ambient temperature. The X-ray crystal structure determination reveals that 1 and 2 possess octahedral geometry, while 3 and 4 are square planar and tetrahedral, respectively. All the synthesized compounds have the MCl₂ fragment, thus making the synthesized compounds attractive synthons for further transformation. The cyclic voltammograms of the synthesized complexes were obtained and the voltammetric signatures of 1, 2, and 4 showed a single irreversible pH-dependent cathodic peak, while 3 has two reversible cathodic peaks. Involvement of protons accompanying the electron transfer processes was ascertained from differential pulse voltammetric results, indicating peak potential shift as a function of pH.
