Solvent extraction of metals with potassium-dihydro-bispyrazolyl-borate

The extraction of Cu(II), Ni(II), Co(II), Cd(II), Zn(II), Pb(II) and Mn(II) with potassium-dihydro-bispyrazolyl-borate (H(2)BPz(2)(-)) in dichloromethane has been studied. Extraction constants (logK(ex)) have been calculated for all metal systems and were compared with those obtained with dibenzoylmethane (DBM), thenoyltrifluoroacetone (HTTA) and 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-benzoyl-5-pyrazolone (HPMBP). The method has been used for the determination of Cu(II), Co(II), Cd(II), Zn(II), Pb(II) and Mn(II) in standard alloys and for preconcentration of metal ions in synthetic samples.     

Solvent extraction of noble metals with derivatives of thiourea

Studies on the use of diphenylthiourea, hexamethylene-N'-phenylthiourea, N,N-hexa-methylene-N'-isohexylthiourea and di-tert-butylthiourea for the extraction and group concentration of noble metals are reported. A preliminary treatment of solutions of the platinum metals with tin(II) chloride is useful in accelerating the reactions. The chemistry of the extraction and the properties of the extracted compounds are discussed. Hexamethylene-N'-phenylthiourea provides the best selectivity in the presence of copper, whereas the isohexylthiourea derivative provides the greatest solubility.     

Solvent extraction of metals with macrocyclic compounds. I

Summary The extractants studied in this work are 5,6; 14,15-dibenzo-l,4-dioxa-8,12-diazacyclopentadeca-7,12-diene (I) and 5,6; 14,15-dibenzo-1,4-dioxa-8,12-diazacyclopentadecane (II). Radioactive nuclides were used to investigate the extraction of Ag(I), Hg(II), Cu(II), Cd, Co(II), Zn, Fe(III), Mn(II), and Pd with chloroform solutions of I and II. It is shown that compound I extracts only silver. The composition of the extracted compound has been established: silver is extracted as an AgLX complexe (L being macrocycle I and X being the counterion). The counterions involved in the experiment were perchlorate, picrate (Pi), and dipicrylaminate (DPA); the extraction of silver is intensified in the series: ClO₄ ^–––. The solvents used include nitrobenzene, 1,2-dichloroethane, chloroform, ando-xylene, the best being nitrobenzene and dichloroethane. Macrocycle II was found to exhibit poorer selectivity; in addition to Ag(I), it also extracts Hg(II), Cu(II) and Pd. The lower selectivity of macrocycle II, as compared to that of I, must be due to the graeter comformational mobility of molecule II.

Solvent extraction of some metals from aqueous solutions

The results for the extractions of divalent (manganese, cobalt, zinc and cadmium) and trivalent (gallium and indium) metals and hexavalent uranium from aqueous solutions by various extractants such as organophosphorus compounds (tributyl phosphate, trioctylphosphine oxide, di-(2-ethylhexyl)phosphoric acid and 2-ethylhexyl 2-ethylhexylphosphonic acid), sulfur-containing compound (dihexyl sulfoxide), high-molecular weight amines (trioctylamine and trioctylmethylammonium chloride) and 7-alkylated hydroxyquinoline (7-(5,5,7,7-tetramethyl-1-octen-3-yl)-8-hydroxyquinoline are discussed in the viewpoint of separation chemistry.     

Solvent extraction of metals using LIX26 extractant

Solvent extraction of some selected metals from an aqueous buffered solution by LIX26 extractant has been studied. The pH_1/2 values (at which 50% of metal ion is extracted) for extracting different metals by 1 v/v% LIX26 extractant in methyl isobutyl ketone have been obtained. The order of extraction of metals by LIX26 extractant as a function of pH_1/2 value is Pd(II)<Cu(II)<Sb(III)<Fe(II)<Co(II)<Zn(II)<Ni(II) <Pb(II)<Mn(II)<Cd(II).     

Solvent extraction of dioxouranium(VI) with dialkyldithiophosphoric acids

The extraction of dioxouranium(VI) species from acidic aqueous solutions into benzene, in the presence of dialkyldithiophosphoric acids occurs with moderate partition coefficients, increasing with the length of the alkyl chain. The mechanism involves the formation of neutral [UO₂[S₂P(OR)₂]₂] species soluble in benzene, the partition is strongly affected by complexation in the aqueous phase, when the alkyl chain is short. Distribution coefficients and extraction constants have been determined under various conditions.     

Solvent extraction of thorium (IV) with dialkyldithiophosphoric acids

Solvent extraction of thorium (IV) from aqueous solution with dialkyldithiophosphoric acids (RO)₂P(S)SH, (abbreviated Hdtp) in different organic solvents shows that the chain length in Hdtp significantly influence the magnitude of the distribution ratio. The diluent effect and the influence of the inorganic anion present in the aqueous phase was investigated in the Th — di (2-ethyl-hexyl) dithiophosphoric acid (HEhdtp) extraction system. The treatment of the partition data shows that the extraction of Th(IV) in benzene, cyclohexane, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride and n-butanol from perchlorate, chloride and nitrate media occurs via an ion-exchange mechanism. Inorganic anions present in the aqueous phase do not participate in the formation of the extracted species but influence the magnitude of the distribution ratios.     

The effect of substituents on the extraction behavior of hydroxamic acids

The extraction behavior of several alkyl-substituted hydroxamic acids in chloroform solution with several metal ions is described. Among the N-phenylacylhydroxamic acids used, those with o-alkyl substituents on either the phenyl or acyl ring generally do not extract metals, apparently because of steric problems at the O=CNO^? chelation site. An improved synthesis of substituted hydroxamic acids is reported.     

Solvent extraction of metals with commercial oxime extractant (LIX 622)

The extraction characteristics of some selected metals from an aqueous buffered solution by LIX 622, a commercial oxime extractant have been studied. The pH_1/2 values for extracting different metals with 5 v/v% LIX 622 extractant in methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK) have been obtained. The order of extraction of metals with LIX 622 extractant as a function of pH_1/2 value is determined and results agree well with the order obtained using salicylaldoxime as chelating ligand for the extraction of these metals.     

Photochemistry of hydroxamic acids

Photochemical reactions of hydroxamic acids have been studied. The intermediacy of a RCONH radical is postulated, based on oxidations achieved with DCA under photochemical conditions.     

Oxoarylation of ynamides with N-aryl hydroxamic acids

Ynamides are electron-rich alkynes with unique reactivities and act as flexible building blocks in organic synthesis. Therefore, the investigation for transformation of ynamides with exceptional selectivity and efficiency is attractive and interesting. Herein, we report an oxoarylation of ynamides with N-aryl hydroxamic acids. In the presence of catalytic Cu(OTf)₂, both the terminal and internal ynamides could undergo an addition/[3,3] sigmatropic rearrangement cascade with N-aryl hydroxamic acids to achieve oxoarylation, along with providing selective entry to (ortho-amino)arylacetamides and oxindoles. Moreover, deuterium-labelling reaction and gram-scale reaction were conducted to probe the mechanism and showcase the scalability.     

Solvent extraction of rare-earth metals with bis(2-ethylhexyl)phosphinic acid

 The extraction behavior of tervalent rare-earth metals (Ln) using a heptane solution containing bis(2-ethylhexyl)phosphinic acid (PIA-8, HR) from 0.1 mol/dm³ sodium perchlorate media was studied. The pH_0.5 values and separation factors obtained were compared among the metals. The stoichiometry of the extracted species and the extraction constants for the present aqueous/heptane system were determined by slope analysis. It is demonstrated that the rare-earth metals were extracted as monomers LnR₃⋅mHR (m=3, 4, 5 or 6), and the extracted species could be stripped into a relatively low concentrated hydrochloric acid. PIA-8 was found to be the most selective extractant for the mutual separation of rare-earth metals among the other phosphinic acids reported.

Non-aqueous titration of hydroxamic acids

Benzohydroxamic acid is titrated with 0.1M tetrabutyl-anunonium hydroxide in nine non-aqueous solvents with three different indicating electrodes. The best results are obtained using dimethylformamide as solvent and platinum-platinum electrodes. Four monoprotic and three diprotic hydroxamie acids and iron(III) benzohydroxamate have been successfully titrated with this system. The effect of quantitative additions of carbon dioxide to the titrant on its apparent molarity are found to be dependent on the amount added, the strength and sample size of acid titrated and the solvent used.     

First O-glycosylation of hydroxamic acids

The first O-glycosylation of hydroxamic acids is reported. This process involves the use of glycosyl N-phenyl trifluoroacetimidates as glycosyl donors in the presence TMSOTf and 4 A molecular sieves in dichloromethane. Under such conditions, a wide range of new glycosyl donors including glucosyl, galactosyl, mannosyl, glucuronyl, and ribosyl hydroxamates were prepared in good to high yields. This procedure appears to be an advantageous alternative for the synthesis of glycosyl hydroxamates of biological interest.     

Acidity of hydroxamic acids and amides

The relatively strong acidity of hydroxamic acids was analyzed by means of isodesmic reactions in which this acid or its anion is formed from simpler precursors. Acidity of amides was analyzed in the same way. Energies of all compounds involved in the reactions were calculated at the B3LYP/AUG-cc-pVTZ//B3LYP/6-311 + G(d,p) level; at this level a good agreement was reached with the sparse experimental data. Interpretation of the results was the same as in the recent discussion of the acidity of carboxylic acids, and the conclusions were similar: both amides and hydroxamic acids are stabilized with respect to simpler reference molecules of amines or N-alkylhydroxylamines, respectively. However, their anions are stabilized still more and are responsible for the acidity. This effect is stronger in hydroxamic acids or amides than in carboxylic acids. The problem of whether it is due to resonance depends on the definition of this term. Semiquantitative comparison suggests that resonance in hydroxamic acids is more important than in amides and still more than in carboxylic acids. The stronger acidity of hydroxamic acids compared to amides is due to the destabilizing inductive effect of the hydroxyl group in the acid molecule, not to any effect in the anion.
