Composition of 2-(3,5-dibromo-2-pyridylazo) diethylaminophenol chelates by liquid chromatography

Summary The composition of 3,5-diBr-PADAP metal chelates was determined by liquid chromatography employing appropriate eluents and non-polar bonded stationary phase. The metal-to-ligand ratios were 12, 12 and 12 for Cu(II), Co(III) and Cr(III) respectively, and the V(V)-to-ligand ratio found to be 111 in V(V)-3,5-diBr-PADAP-H₂O₂ in the presence of H₂O₂. The results are in agreement with literature data.     

Triphenylphosphineoxide nitrosyl complexes of molybdenum

Summary The tetramethylthiourea (TMTU) complexes of cobalt(II) and nickel(II) halides have been studied in the solid state by electronic, i.r. and far i.r. spectroscopy and magnetochemically. The tetrahedral Co(TMTU)₂X₂ (X = Cl, Br, 1) and Ni(TMTU)₂X₂ (X = Cl, Br) complexes have normal magnetic moments, electronic spectra and crystal field parameters; Ni₂ (TMTU)₃I₄ is diamagnetic. The cobalt complexes have normal (CoX) and (CoX) vibrational frequencies. Ni(TMTU)₂Cl₂ and Ni₂(TMTU)₃I₄ have (NiX) frequencies corresponding to long or bridging Ni-X bonds, while Ni(TMTU)₂Br₂ has normal (NiBr) frequencies for terminal Ni-Br bonds. The (MS) frequencies are similar to those of cobalt(II) and nickel(II) complexes of other thioureas.     

Metal complexes of 2-(2′-or 8′-quinolyl)benzimidazoles and benzothiazoles

Summary The copper(II), cobalt(II) and nickel(II) chloride and bromide complexes with the ligands 2-(2-quinolyl)-benzimidazole (qbi), 2-(4-methyl-2-quinolyl)benzimidazole (mqbi), 2-(4-methyl-8-quinolyl)benzothiazole (m'q'bt) have been prepared and characterized by analytical methods, magnetic measurements as well as by electronic absorption, e.s.r. and far i.r. spectra. Complexes of various stoichiometries have been isolated, namely MLX₂ (all cobalt complexes with exception of the bromide qbi complex; the chloride and bromide nickel m'q'bt and mq'bt complexes), ML₂X₂ (M=Co,L=qbi and X=Br; M=Ni, L=mqbi, X=Cl or Br, M=Ni, L=qbi, X=Cl) and ML₃X₂(M=Ni, L=qbi or mqbi, X=Br). The cobalt ion has a distorted tetrahedral N₂X₂ coordination in all the CoLX₂ complexes, whereas Co(qbi)₂Br₂ is six-coordinate. The following conclusions may be drawn for the nickel complexes: in those with the 11 metal-to-ligand molar ratio the metal ion is four-or five-coordinate; in those with the 12 and 13 ratios the metal ion is hexa-coordinate, being essentially bound to four nitrogen atoms with halogens, oxygens from water or methanol or nitrogen atoms (from the third ligand) occupying the axial positions.     

Cobalt(III) complexes with aminothiolates

Summary This article describes some complexes of cobalt(III) with -mercaptopropylamine,N, N-dimethyl--mercaptopropylamme andN,N-dimethyl--mercaptoethylamine. The compounds are of stoichiometry [Co(ligand)₃], [Co₃(ligand)₆]_X (X=Cl or Br) and [Co(ligand)₃]X₃ (X=Cl or ClO₄). -Mercaptopropylamine yields both chelated and non-chelated compounds while theN,N-dimethyl derivatives yield only non-chelated complexes. This behaviour contrasts with the results obtained with nickel(II).

Seven complex compounds exhibiting the compositions Ni(en)₃Ni(CN)₄·H₂O (I), Ni(en)₃Ni(CN)₄ (II),-Ni(en)₂Ni(CN)₄ (III), Ni(en)Ni(CN)₄·2H₂O (IV), Ni(en)Ni(CN)₄ (V), Ni(en)₂Ni(CN)₄ · 2.5H₂O (VI) and-Ni(en)₂Ni(CN)₄ (VII) were prepared from the system Ni-en-[Ni(CN)₄]^2–-H₂O. These compounds were examined by the methods of infrared spectroscopy, X-ray powder diffractometry, UV-VIS reflectance spectroscopy, and also by the measurement of magnetic moments. The thermal stability, the stoichiometry of thermal decomposition and the mutual transformations were investigated with a derivatograph. The reactions proceeding according to the following schemes were observed if the system was heated to appropriate temperature: (I)(II)(III)(V)(IV) and (VI)(VII)(III)(V)(IV) Process (VII)(III) represents isomerization. The reversibility of the process (V)(IV) is due to the high hygroscopicity of the anhydrous complex. The changes in structure in the course of the individual processes are discussed.

Electrophilic Substitution Co(II)→M(II) (M = Mn,Ni, Cu,Zn, Cd) in Co2[Fe(CN)6] Gelatin-Immobilized Matrices

Electrophilic substitutions Co(II) M(II) (M = Mn, Ni, Cu, Zn, Cd) in cobalt(II) hexacyanoferrate(II) gelatin-immobilized matrices in contact with aqueous solutions of corresponding chlorides MCl₂ were studied. As a result of this contact, Co(II) was shown to be replaced to some extent by Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), or Cd(II) and to give heteronuclear cobalt(II) hexacyanoferrates(II) and two-charge ions. A complete substitution of Co(II) or the formation the respective mononuclear hexacyanoferrate(II) M₂[Fe(CN)₂] was observed in neither of the studied systems Co(II) M(II). No Co(II) Mn(II) substitution was observed, even though the immobilized matrix was in contact with a solution for a long time.     

Acid-base properties of supported vanadium oxide catalyst

Reduction of V₂O₅/Al₂O₃ and V₂O₅/silica-alumina produced Lewis acid sites which could strongly adsorb CO (heat of adsorption: 90 kJ/mol). Such strong acid sites were not formed in the cases of V₂O₅/SiO₂ and V₂O₅/MgO. V₂O₅ loaded on Al₂O₃ interacted with the basic sites of alumina but not with the acidic sites, while the V₂O₅ on silica-alumina interacted with the acidic sites of the silica-alumina and decreased its acidity.

Double-Layer Effects in the Electroreduction of Cobalt(III) Trioxalate Complexes to Cobalt(0) Atoms on a Dropping Mercury Electrode

A polarographic investigation of solutions containing trioxalate complexes of Co(III) reveals that the overall electrode process Co(III) Co(0) is accompanied by slow formation of ionic associates between aquacomplexes of Co(II) and trioxalate complexes of Co(III). Use of a relatively high concentration of oxalate ions (0.001 M) quells this association. Under these conditions, it is possible to divide the measured current into two constituents related to the primary electroreduction Co(III) Co(II) and the subsequent process Co(II) Co(0). The earlier data on the rate constant and apparent transfer coefficient for the process Co(II) Co(0) are used for calculating corrected Tafel plots for the electrode reaction Co(III) Co(II). The plots are practically linear and independent of the concentration of the supporting-electrolyte cation in a wide range of potential drops (1 V) across the dense layer. A theoretically expected parallel shift of the plots is observed in solutions with a variable concentration of discharging species. This observation and similar data obtained for a mixed potassium–sodium supporting electrolyte bear testimony to good agreement between the obtained results and the theory.

Absorption spectra and bond type in Co(II) aquoamino complexes

Absorption spectra are reported for solutions containing Co(II) and ammonia. Spectra are calculated for five Co(II) aquoamino complexes. The spectra are used to determine Dq and B, parameters of the bonds in these compounds. It is found that Dq and B change nonlinearly and nonadditively. The parameters _c, Dt, Ds, and have also been established for [Co(H₂O)₆]²⁺ and [Co(NH₃)₆]²⁺. The parameter variation can be explained if the H₂O molecules form weaker bonds to the central atom than do the NH₃ molecules, but are capable of d-p interaction.

Barium sulphate reduction with carbon

The reduction of BaSO₄ by carbon was investigated by means of isothermal thermogravimetric measurements. In combination with a high-temperature thermobalance, solid electrolyte cells were used (i) to purify the N₂ flow gas, and (ii) to measure the partial pressure of oxygen (COCO₂ ratio, respectively) in the outlet gases.Mass loss curves and in the outlet gases were recorded at 743–955 °C. The activation energy of the process was calculated from the isothermal TG curves. X-ray diffraction and SEM showed that the solid product in the whole temperature interval comprised only cubic BaS.

The effect of defect structure due to doping and irradiation on the thermal decomposition of potassium chlorate

The thermal decomposition of potassium chlorate was investigated as a function of doping and there seems to be a correlation between the polarizing nature of the dopant cation and the thermal degradation temperature of potassium chlorate. In particular, transition metal cations influence strongly the temperature of decomposition. Irradiation and mechanical shock defects influence also the process. A possible mechanism in terms of the semi-conductive properties of the defective chlorates is discussed.

Zusammenfassung Die thermische Zersetzung von Kaliumchlorat wurde in Abhängigkeit von der Zugabe von Zusätzen untersucht und es scheint eine Korrelation zwischen der polarisierenden Beschaffenheit des Additivkations und der thermischen Zersetzungstemperatur von Kaliumchlorat zu bestehen. Besonders die Übergangsmetallkationen beeinflussen die Zersetzungstemperatur stark. Bestrahlung und mechanische Stoßdefekte beeinflussen den Vorgang ebenfalls. Ein möglicher Mechanismus wird anhand der Halbleiter-Eigenschaften der defekten Chlorate erörtert.

Résumé On a étudié la décomposition thermique du chlorate de potassium en fonction de l'ajout d'additifs. Il semble qu'une corrélation existe entre la nature polarisante du cation de l'additif et la température de la dégradation thermique du chlorate de potassium. Enparticulier, ce sont les cations des métaux de transition, qui exercent une forte influence sur la température de décomposition. L'irradiation et des défauts causés par choc mécanique influencent aussi le processus. On discute un mécanisme possible à partir des propriétés semi-conductrices des chlorates présentant des défauts.
