Oxidation of glyoxylic acid by a mononuclear manganese(IV) complex of 1,8-bis(2-hydroxybenzamido)-3,6-diazaoctane: A kinetics and mechanistic study

The oxidation of glyoxylic acid (HGl) by Mn^IVL {L⁴⁻ = tetra deprotonated 1,8-bis(2-hydroxybenzamido)-3,6-diazaoctane} was investigated in the pH range 1.67-10.18, at 25-45 °C and 0.5 M ionic strength. The reaction exhibited biphasic kinetics with Mn^IIIL⁻ as the reactive intermediate. Mn^IV was reduced to Mn^II. The products of oxidation of HGl were identified as formic acid and CO₂ in acidic medium, and oxalate in basic medium, consistent with the stoichiometry: −Δ[Mn^IV]/−Δ[HGl] = 1. In acidic medium, both Mn^IVL and Mn^IIIL⁻ formed outer-sphere adducts with the neutral HGl {HC(OH)₂COOH} molecule, with an association constant Q_av of 28 and 70 M⁻¹, respectively. A similar adduct formation was not observed for the glyoxylate mono anion {Gl⁻, CH(OH)₂(CO₂⁻)} and glyoxylate dianion {Gl²⁻, CH(OH)(O⁻)CO₂⁻}. The rate and activation parameters for the various paths are reported and an outer-sphere electron transfer mechanism is suggested.     

Reactions of sulfur(IV) with an octahedral manganese(IV) complex of 1,8-bis(2-hydroxy benzamido)-3,6-diaza octane: the role of phenolate–amide–amine coordination

The Mn^IV complex of tetra-deprotonated 1,8-bis(2-hydroxybenzamide)-3,6-diazaoctane (Mn^IVL) engrossed in phenolate-amido-amine coordination is reduced by HSO₃⁻ and SO₃²⁻ in the pH range 3.15–7.3 displaying biphasic kinetics, the Mn^IIIL⁻ being the reactive intermediate. The Mn^IIIL⁻ species has been characterized by u.v.–vis. spectra {λ _max, (ε, dm³ mol⁻¹ cm⁻¹): 285(15 570), 330 sh (7570), 469(6472), 520 sh (5665), pH=5.42}. SO₄²⁻ was the major oxidation product of S^IV; dithionate is also formed (18 ± 2% of [Mn^IV]_T) which suggests that dimerisation of SO₃^−• is competitive with its fast oxidation by Mn^IV/III. The rates and activation parameters for Mn^IVL + HSO₃⁻ (SO₃²⁻) → Mn^IIIL⁻; Mn^IIIL⁻ + HSO₃⁻ (SO₃²⁻) → Mn^IIL²⁻ are reported at 28.5–45.0 °C (I=0.3 mol dm⁻³, 10% (v/v) MeOH + H₂O). Reduction by SO₃²⁻ is ca. eight times faster than by HSO₃⁻ both for Mn^IVL and Mn^IIIL⁻. There was no evidence of HSO₃⁻/SO₃²⁻ coordination to the Mn centre indicating an outer sphere (ET) mechanism which is further supported by an isokinetic relationship. The self exchange rate constant (k₂₂) for the redox couple, Mn^IIIL⁻/Mn^IVL (1.5 × 10⁶ dm³ mol⁻¹ s⁻¹ at 25 °C) is reported.     

Complexes of 1,8-bis(2-pyridyl)-3,6-dithiaoctane with cobalt(II) halides

Summary Several cobalt(II) halide complexes derived from 1,8-bis(2-pyridyl)-3,6-dithiaoctane (bpdto) are described. Chemical analysis suggests their formulae to be: Co(bpdto)X₂ (X=Cl^–, Br^–, or I^–). Electrolytic conductivities in acetonitrile, magnetic moments at different temperatures, solid state i.r. and u.v.-visible spectra support a tetrahedral stereochemistry around the cobalt(II). The ligand is bidentate andN-bonded in all cases.This work was presented in the Fifth Annual Meeting of the Portuguese Chemical Society, Porto (Portugal), March 1982.     

Kinetics and mechanism of the acid-catalysed decarboxylation of thecis-α- andcis-β-carbonato(3,6-dimethyl-1,8-diamino-3,6-diazaoctane)-cobalt(III) ions

Summary The acid-catalysed decarboxylation of thecis-- andcis--[CoL(CO₃)]⁺ complexes (L = 3,6-dimethyl-1,8-diamino-3,6-diazaoctane) have been studied over a range of HClO₄ concentrations and the temperatures 25, 35 and 45° at I = 1.0 mol dm^–3 (NaClO₄). The rate expression takes the form k_obs = k₀ + k₁[H⁺] where k_obs is the observed first order rate constant at constant hydrogen ion concentration. The k₀ term makes only a minor contribution to the overall reaction. Both complexes display solvent deuterium isotope effects ofca. 2.6 for the acid-catalysed decarboxylation, consistent with a rapid proton pre-equilibrium mechanism. Activation parameters have been determined and the mechanism of the reaction discussed. The magnitude of the solvent isotope effect is consistent with an A-1 type mechanism involving formation of a 5-coordinate intermediate.

IR spectroscopy and single crystal X-ray diffraction study of 1,2-bis(2-aminophenoxy)-ethane, 1,5-bis(2-aminophenoxy)-3-oxapentane,and 1,8-bis(2-aminophenoxy)-3,6-dioxaoctane

Vibrational spectra of 1,2-bis(2-aminophenoxy)-ethane, 1,5-bis(2-aminophenoxy)-3-oxapentane, and 1,8-bis(2-aminophenoxy)-3,6-dioxaoctane–podands, different in the length of oxyethylene fragments, are measured and their single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis is performed. It is demonstrated that the strength of intermolecular hydrogen bonds (IMHB) with the participation of NH groups increases with the elongation of the oxyethylene spacer. According to the XRD data for 1,2-bis(2-aminophenoxy)-ethane, the weakest hydrogen bonds are characteristic. From the IR spectra, important intermolecular hydrogen bonds are typical of 1,8-bis(2-aminophenoxy)-3,6-dioxaoctane having the longest oxyethylene fragment.     

A new octahedral cobalt(III) complex of (1,8)- bis (2-hydroxybenzamido)-3,6-diazaoctane incorporating phenolate-amide-amine coordination: synthesis, X-ray crystal structure, ligand substitution and redox activity with sulfur(IV) and l -ascorbic acid

The octahedral complex, [Co^III(HL)]·9H₂O (H₄L = (1,8)-bis(2-hydroxybenzamido)-3,6-diazaoctane) incorporating bis carboxamido-N-, bis sec-NH, phenolate, and phenol coordination has been synthesized and characterized by analytical, NMR (¹H, ¹³C), e.s.i.-Mass, UV–vis, i.r., and Raman spectroscopy. The formation of the complex has also been confirmed by its single crystal X-ray structure. The cyclic voltammetry of the sample in DMF ([TEAP] = 0.1 mol dm⁻³, TEAP = tetraethylammonium perchlorate) displayed irreversible redox processes, [Co^III(HL)] → [Co^IV(HL)]⁺ and [Co^III(HL)] → [Co^II(HL)]⁻ at 0.41 and −1.09 V (versus SCE), respectively. A slow and H⁺ mediated isomerisation was observed for the protonated complex, [Co^III(H₂L)]⁺ (pK = 3.5, 25 °C, I = 0.5 mol dm⁻³). H₂Asc was an efficient reductant for the complex and the reaction involved outer sphere mechanism; the propensity of different species for intra molecular reduction followed the sequence: [{[Co^III(HL)],(H₂Asc)}–H]⁻ <<< {[Co^III(H₂L)],(H₂Asc)}⁺ < {[Co^III(HL)],(H₂Asc)}. A low value (ca. 3.7 × 10⁻¹⁰ dm³ mol⁻¹ s⁻¹, 25 °C, I = 0.5 mol dm⁻³) for the self exchange rate constant of the couple [Co^III(HL)]/[Co^II(HL)]⁻ indicated that the ligand HL³⁻ with amido (N-) donor offers substantial stability to the Co^III state. HSO₃⁻ and [Co^III(HL)] formed an outer sphere complex {[Co^III(HL)],(HSO₃⁻)}, which was slowly transformed to an inner sphere S-bonded sulfito complex, [Co^III(H₂L)(HSO₃)] and the latter was inert to reduction by external sulfite but underwent intramolecular S^IV → Co^III electron transfer very slowly.

Crystal structure of complexes of pentavalent neptunium with 1,8-bis[2-(diphenylphosphinylmethyl)]phenoxy-3,6-dioxaoctane (L) and hexavalent actinides (U,Np, Pu) with 1,8-bis[2-(diphenylphosphinyl)]phenoxy-3,6-dioxaoctane (L<Superscript>1</Superscript>)

Complexes of pentaand hexavalent actinides with phosphoryl-containing podands incorporating a triethylene glycol fragment and 2-(diphenylphosphinyl)phenyl (L¹) or 2-(diphenylphosphinylmethyl)phenyl (L) end groups were synthesized and structurally characterized. The complexes can be described by the following formulas: [NpO₂L(C₂H₅OH)(NO₃)] (I) for pentavalent neptunium and [AnO₂(L¹)₂](OH)₂ · nH₂O (II), where An is U (IIa), Np (IIb), and Pu (IIc), for the isostructural compounds of hexavalent actinides. In I, L is a bidentate bridging ligand. The Np⁵⁺ coordination polyhedron is a pentagonal bipyramid. The bipyramid equatorial plane is formed by the oxygen atoms of two podands L, the bidentate nitrate ion, and the ethanol OH group. The oxygen atoms of the phosphoryl groups of the podand are involved in the coordination environment of two NpO₂⁺ cations where they connect the electrically neutral neptunoyl nitrate fragments to infinite chains along the [100] direction, which are in turn connected into ribbons by strong hydrogen bonds. The crystal of II consists of the complex cations [AnO₂(L¹)₂]²⁺, hydroxyl ions, and water molecules of crystallization. The environment of AnO₂²⁺ is formed by four ligands L¹ whose oxygen atoms form a tetragonal-bipyramidal coordination environment. Each of the two crystallographically independent ligands L¹ is connected to two AnO₂⁺ cations. This gives positively charged layers of actinyl cations perpendicular to the [010] direction connected by molecular ligands. The layers contain channels accommodating hydroxyl ions and crystallization water molecules.     

Reactions of 1,2,4,5-Tetrafluoro-3,6-bis(vinylsulfonyl)benzene with Cyclic Amines

Reactions of 1,2,4,5-tetrafluoro-3,6-bis(vinylsulfonyl)benzene with pyrrolidine, piperidine, and morpholine lead to formation of different products, depending mainly on the reactant ratio. In the presence of 2 equiv of cyclic amine, adducts at both vinylsulfonyl groups are formed, while in reactions with 4 equiv of cyclic amine, the addition at the double bonds is accompanied by nucleophilic replacement of one or two fluorine atoms in the benzene ring.

Oxidation of Naphthalene with a Manganese(IV) Bis(hydroxo) Complex in the Presence of Acid

Naphthalene oxidation with metal–oxygen intermediates is a difficult reaction in environmental and biological chemistry. Herein, we report that a Mn^IV bis(hydroxo) complex, which was fully characterized by various physicochemical methods, such as ESI‐MS, UV/Vis, and EPR analysis, X‐ray diffraction, and XAS, can be employed for the oxidation of naphthalene in the presence of acid to afford 1,4‐naphthoquinone. Redox titration of the Mn^IV bis(hydroxo) complex gave a one‐electron reduction potential of 1.09 V, which is the most positive potential for all reported nonheme Mn^IV bis(hydroxo) species as well as Mn^IV oxo analogues. Kinetic studies, including kinetic isotope effect analysis, suggest that the naphthalene oxidation occurs through a rate‐determining electron transfer process.     

Eco-Friendly Synthesis of an Oxovanadium(IV)-bis(abietate) Complex with Antimicrobial Action

The search for less expensive and viable products is always one of the challenges for research development. Commonly, the synthesis of coordination compounds involves expensive ligands, through expensive and low-yield routes, in addition to generating toxic and unusable residues. In this work, the organic ligand used is derived from the resin of a reforestation tree, Pinus elliottii var. elliottii. The synthesis method used Pinus resin and an aqueous solution of vanadium(III) chloride at a temperature of 80 °C. The procedure does not involve organic solvents and does not generate toxic residues, thus imparting the complex formation reaction a green chemistry character. The synthesis resulted in an unprecedented oxovanadium(IV)-bis(abietate) complex, which was characterized by mass spectrometry (MS), chemical analysis (CHN), vibrational (FTIR) and electronic spectra (VISIBLE), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and thermal analysis (TG/DTA). Colorimetric studies were performed according to the CIELAB color space. The structural formula found, consisted of a complex containing two abietate ligands, [VO(C₂₀H₂₉O₂)₂]. The VO(IV)-bis(abietate) complex was applied against microorganisms and showed promising results in antibacterial and antifungal activity. The best result of inhibitory action was against the strains of Gram-positive bacteria S. aureus and L. monocytogenes, with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values of 62.5 and 125 μmol L⁻¹, respectively. For Gram-negative strains the results were 500 μmol L⁻¹ for E. coli; and 1000 μmol L⁻¹ for Salmonella enterica Typhimurium. Antifungal activity was performed against Candida albicans, where the MIC was 15.62 μmol L⁻¹, and for C. tropicalis it was 62.5 μmol L⁻¹. According to the MFC analysis, the complex presented, in addition to the fungistatic action, a fungicidal action, as there was no growth of fungi on the plates tested. The results found for the tests demonstrate that the VO(IV)-bis(abietate) complex has great potential as an antimicrobial and mainly antifungal agent. In this way, the pigmented ink with antimicrobial activity could be used in environments with a potential risk of contamination, preventing the spread of microorganisms harmful to health.

Synthesis and spectroelectrochemical studies of mixed heteroleptic chelate complexes of ruthenium(II) with 1,8-bis(2-pyridyl)-3,6-dithiaoctane (pdto) and substituted 1,10-phenanthrolines

Reaction of dichlorotris(triphenylphosphine) ruthenium(II) [RuCl(2)(PPh(3))(3)] with 1,8-bis(2-pyridyl)-3,6-dithiaoctane (pdto), a (N(2)S(2)) tetradentate donor, yields a new compound [Ru(pdto)(PPh(3))Cl]Cl (1), which has been fully characterized. (1)H and (31)P NMR studies of 1 in acetonitrile at several temperatures show the substitution of both coordinated chloride and triphenylphosphine with two molecules of acetonitrile, as confirmed by the isolation of the complex [Ru(pdto)(CH(3)CN)(2)]Cl(2) (2). Cyclic voltammetric and spectroelectrochemical techniques allowed us to determine the electrochemical behavior of compound 1. The substitution of the chloride and triphenylphosphine by acetonitrile molecules in the Ru(II) coordination sphere of compound 1 was also established by electrochemical studies. The easy substitution of this complex led us to use it as starting material to synthesize the substituted phenanthroline coordination compounds with (pdto) and ruthenium(II), [Ru(pdto)(4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline)]Cl(2).4H(2)O (3), [Ru(pdto)(1,10-phenanthroline)]Cl(2).5H(2)O (4), [Ru(pdto)(5,6-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline)]Cl(2).5H(2)O (5), [Ru(pdto)(4,7-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline)]Cl(2).3H(2)O (6), and [Ru(pdto)(3,4,7,8-tetramethyl-1,10-phenanthroline)]Cl(2).4H(2)O (7). These compounds were fully characterized, and the crystal structure of 4 was obtained. Cyclic voltammetric and spectroelectrochemical techniques allowed us to determine their electrochemical behavior. The electrochemical oxidation processes in these compounds are related to the oxidation of ionic chlorides, and to the reversible transformation from Ru(II) to Ru(III). On the other hand, a single reduction process is associated to the reduction of the substituted phenanthroline in the coordination compound. The E(1/2) (phen/phen(-)) and E(1/2) (Ru(II)/Ru(III)) for the compounds (3-7) were evaluated, and, as expected, the modification of the substituted 1,10-phenanthrolines in the complexes also modifies the redox potentials. Correlations of both electrochemical potentials with pK(a) of the free 1,10-phenathrolines, lambda(max) MLCT transition band, and chemical shifts of phenanthrolines in these complexes were found, possibly as a consequence of the change in the electron density of the Ru(II) and the coordinated phenanthroline.     

Determination of Lead Using a New Chromogenic Reagent 2-(2-Sulfo-4-acetylphenylazo)-7-(2,4,6-trichlorophenylazo)-1,8-dihydroxynaphthalene-3,6-disulfonic Acid

A novel chromogenic reagent, 2-(2-sulfo-4-acetylphenylazo)-7-(2,4,6-trichlorophenylazo)-1,8-dihydroxynaphthalene-3,6-disulfonic acid 1, was prepared by diazo coupling of 4-acetylaniline-2-sulfonic acid and 2,4,6-trichloroaniline to chromotropic acid through –N=N– groups. Based on this reagent, a simple, sensitive and selective spectrophotometric method was developed for the determination of lead. In 0.20M phosphoric acid medium, lead reacts with 1 to form a 1:2 blue complex with an absorption maximum of 654nm. Beers law is obeyed in the range of 0–0.6mgL^–1 of lead. The apparent molar absorptivity is 1.25×10⁵Lmol^–1cm^–1. The detection limit and quantification limit were found to be 0.63µgL^–1 and 2.1µgL^–1, respectively. The relative standard deviation for eleven replicate measurements was of 2.6%. The interference of foreign ions was also investigated. All the other foreign ions studied did not interfere with lead determination except for Ca(II) and Ba(II). The interference caused by Ca(II) and Ba(II) can be eliminated by prior extraction of lead with potassium iodide-methylisobutylketone (KI-MIBK). The proposed method was applied to the determination of lead in certified samples with satisfactory results.     

The Kinetics of 1,8-Dihydroxy-2-(Pyrazol-5-ylazo)-Naphthalene-3,6-Disulfonic Acid Immobilization on Anion Exchangers

The sorption of 1,8-dihydroxy-2-(pyrazol-5-ylazo)-naphthalene-3,6-disulfonic acid onto the anion exchange resins Dowex 1-X8 and Dowex 2-X8 from aqueous solutions of between pH 1 and 10 was studied spectrophotometrically. Conditions for obtaining modified sorbents with a given capacity for the azo compound were investigated. The absorption and reflectance spectra of the sorbed dye were traced. The immobilized reagent retained chromic characteristics similar to those it had in solution. The mechanism of sorption was investigated under static conditions in the temperature range of 0 to 25°C by following the amount of sorbed dye as a function of contact time. The sorption was a first-order process in all cases. Pore diffusion was found to be the rate-limiting step in the sorption process. Diffusion coefficient values of from 6.0 × 10^–7 to 7.4 × 10^–7 cm²/s were calculated from the experimental results. The values of the activation energy of PACA sorption were found to be –8.56 and –8.05 kJ/mol for Dowex 1-X8 and Dowex 2-X8, respectively.
