Homocysteine Voltammetry at a Mercury Electrode in the Presence of Nickel Ions

At a mercury electrode, Hcy and Cys yield similar cathodic stripping peaks connected to the reduction of the pertinent mercury thiolate. However, due the different behavior as a ligand for nickel ion, the above compounds perform very differently in the presence of this ion. Whereas the nickel ion at a high enough concentration suppresses the Cys peak, in the case of Hcy it causes the cathodic peak to shift to more negative potentials. The peculiar behavior of Hcy is due to the stabilization of the mercury thiolate surface layer by intermolecular Ni²⁺ bridges within the surface layer. Conversely, in the case of Cys, the nickel ion strongly competes with the mercury ion and leads to the formation of a surface adsorbed bis‐cysteinatonickelate complex, which prevents the formation of mercury cysteinate. Such a difference allows determining Hcy by cathodic stripping voltammetry in the presence of nickel ion with no Cys interference.     

Differential Pulse Polarographic Study of Ternary Complexes of Copper (Ii) With Pyruvate and Some Amino Acids

Abstract

The ternary complexes of copper (II) with glycine, alanine, aspartate or glutamate as primary ligand and pyruvate as secondary ligand have been investigated using differential pulse polarography. the reversible diffusion controlled reduction of the complexed ion reveals two mixed complexes to be formed with stoichiometries 1:1:1 and 1:2:1. Their overall formation constants in a sodium perchlorate supporting electrolyte have been calculated at μ =0.1 and 25°C.     

Calculation of differential pulse polarographic curves for the reduction of complexes

A simple simulation is presented which allows calculation of differential pulse polarographic (DPP) curves for reversibly reduced complexes, applicable to all concentrations of ligand and to mixtures of up to four complexes. The simulation is employed to investigate the expected forms of DPP curves as a function of the values of overall formation constant (β_p) and ligand concentration.For a single 1:2 complex a splitting of the DPP curve is predicted at substoichiometric ligand concentrations for log β₂ values > ca. 10. These systems exhibit one peak at E° for the metal and a second broadened peak at a more negative potential.At stoichiometric ligand concentrations broad peaks are predicted which shift in potential with β_p in a predictable manner above a characteristic value of β_p.Assumed mixtures of two complexes at ligand concentrations substoichiometric with respect to the higher complex exhibit one or two peaks, with potentials and shapes dependent on the two β_p values.A method is proposed for the determination of the first formation constant in mixtures of two complexes, based on measurement of differences in peak potentials.     

Electrochemical Study of Lead Complexes With Folic Acid and Its Related Compounds

The equilibria existing in unbuffered aqueous medium between lead ions and folic acid or its related derivatives (pterin, pterin-6-carboxylic acid, pteroic acid and glutamic acid) have been investigated using differential pulse polarography. All these compounds, except pterin-6-carboxylic acid and glutamic acid, exhibit three consecutive complexes with increasing ligand concen-     

Differential pulse polarographic studies of mercury complexes with some crown ethers in nonaqueous solvents

The complex formation of Hg(2+) with some macrocyclic crown ethers in nitrobenzene, acetonitrile and dimethylformamide solutions was studied by differential pulse polarography at 25 degrees C. The stoichiometry and stability of the complexes were determined by monitoring the shift in the Hg(2+) differential pulse peak potential against the ligand concentration. The stability of the resulting 1:1 complexes vary in the order dicyclohexyl-18-crown-6 > 18-crown-6 > 15-crown-5 > dibenzo-18-crown-6 > dibenzo-24-crown-8 > benzo-15-crown-5 > 12-crown-4. There is an inverse relationship between the complex stability and the Gutmann donor number of solvents.     

A Polarographic Study of Tl+, Pb2+ and Cd2+ Complexes with Aza-18-crown-6 and Dibenzopyridino-18-crown-6 in some Binary Mixed Non-aqueous Solvents

The complexation of Tl⁺, Pb²⁺and Cd²⁺ cations by macrocyclic ligands, aza-18-crown-6 (L1) and dibenzopyridino-18-crown-6 (L2) was studied in some binary mixtures of methanol (MeOH), n-propanol (n-PrOH), nitromethane (NM) and acetonitrile (AN) with dimethylformamide (DMF) at 22 °C using DC (direct current) and differential pulse polarographic techniques (DPP). The stoichiometry and stability constants of the complexes were determined by monitoring the shifts in half-waves or peak potentials of the polarographic waves of metal ions against the ligand concentration. In all of the solvent systems, the stability of the resulting 1:1 complexes was found to be L1 > L2. The selectivity order of the L2 ligand for the cations was found to be Pb²⁺ > Tl⁺ > Cd²⁺ and the selectivity of the L1 ligand for Pb²⁺ ion was greater than that of Tl⁺ ion. The results show that the stability of the complexes depends on the nature and composition of the mixed solvents. There is an inverse relationship between the stability constants of the complexes and the amount of dimethylformamide in the mixed solvent systems.     

Solid‐state complexes of poly(L‐histidine) with metal chlorides from the first row of the d‐block

Solid‐state characterization of poly(L ‐histidine) was obtained via differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis, optical microscopy, and infrared spectroscopy. The glass transition temperature of poly(L ‐histidine) is 169°C. This thermal transition has not been reported previously. Poly(L ‐histidine)'s T_g increases when complexes are produced with the following divalent transition metal chlorides: cobalt chloride hexahydrate, nickel chloride hexahydrate, copper chloride dihydrate, and anhydrous zinc chloride. At 10 mol % salt, nickel chloride increases T_g by 69°C. The enhancement in poly(L ‐histidine)'s T_g correlates well with ligand field stabilization energies for pseudo‐octahedral dⁿ complexes (n = 7, 8, and 10) from the first row of the d‐block. However, d⁹ copper(II) complexes do not conform to this empirical correlation. Infrared spectroscopic evidence indicates that these metal chlorides form complexes with the imidazole ring in the histidine side group and the amide group in the main chain of the polymer. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

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.     

Synthesis and Characterization of Homoleptic and Heteroleptic Complexes Involving Dithiocarbamates,Triphenylphosphine, and Nickel(II)

Abstract

Six new nickel complexes of two dithiocarbamate ligands (cyfdtc = N-cyclohexyl-N- furfuryldithiocarbamate and bztpedtc = N-benzyl-N-[2-thiophenylethyl]dithiocarbamate) namely, (Ni[cyfdtc]₂) (1), (Ni[bztpedtc]₂) (2), (Ni[cyfdtc][NCS][PPh₃]) (3), (Ni[bztpedtc] [NCS][PPh₃]) (4), (Ni[cyfdtc][PPh₃]₂)ClO₄ (5), and (Ni[bztpedtc][PPh₃]₂)ClO₄ (6) have been prepared and characterized using IR, electronic, and NMR (¹H and ¹³C) spectra. A single crystal X-ray structural analysis was carried out for complex 3 and showed that nickel is in a distorted square planar arrangement with the NiS₂PN chromophore. The shift in ν_C?N of the heteroleptic complexes to higher frequencies compared with the parent complex is assigned to mesomeric delocalization of electron density from the

dithiocarbamate ligand toward the metal atom, which increases the contribution of polar thioureide form in mixed ligand complexes. Electronic spectral studies suggest square planar geometry for the complexes. In the ¹³C NMR spectra, the upfield shift of NCS₂ carbon signal for 3 and 4 from the chemical shift value of 1 and 2 is due to effect of PPh₃ on the mesomeric drift of electron density toward nickel throughout thioureide C?N bond.     

The effect of copper ions on adsorption of histamine and histidine on the surface of highly dispersed silica

The effect of copper ions on the adsorption of histamine and histidine on the surface of highly dispersed silica from aqueous solutions is studied. It is shown that the formation of complex particles in solution determines the character of adsorption of these biomolecules. The equilibrium constants of the formation of ternary surface complexes, where silanol groups of silica act as a ligand, are calculated. It is shown that, in such complexes, nitrogen atoms of either histamine or histidine enter into the inner coordination sphere of copper ion.     

Positive and negative ion mass spectrometric studies of dioximes of α-diketones and their nickel complexes

The positive and negative ion mass spectra of glyoxime, methylglyoxime, dimethylglyoxime, diphenyl glyoxime and of their nickel(II) complexes are reported. Both the positive and negative ion mass spectra of the dioximes show loss of OH^˙ and H₂O from the molecular ion to give fragment ions which probably have cyclic furazan type structures. The positive ion spectra of the complexes fragment mainly by loss of ligand radicals whereas the negative ion spectra show mainly loss of OH^˙ and H₂O.     

Electronic structure and redox properties of macrocyclic complexes [M(TAAB)]n+ (M = Ni,Cu)

The SCF-LCAO-MO method in the CNDO approximation has been used in calculating the electronic structure of complexes of nickel and copper with the macrocyclic ligand TAAB, complexes with the general formula [M(TAAB)]ⁿ⁺ (n=0–3). From an analysis of the distribution of electron density and populations of the AOs of the central ion in these complexes, it has been established that the process of reduction of nickel compounds is accompanied by an increase in electron density on the carbon atoms of the macrocyclic ligand, whereas in the reduction of [Cu(TAAB)]²⁺ a substantial increase is observed in the populations of the 3d AOs of the central ion, i.e., it is reduced. The difference in behavior of the complexes upon reduction is due to differences in the electronic configuration of the central ion. The structure and orbital composition of the frontier MOs have been analyzed, and it has been shown that in the reduced complexes of nickel [Ni(TAAB)], which have strong nucleophilic properties, not only the central ion may act as a nucleophilic center, but also the carbon atoms of the macrocyclic ligand.Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Éksperimental'naya Khimiya, Vol. 23, No. 4, pp. 421–428, July–August 1987.     

Iron(III), nickel(II) and zinc(II) complexes based on acetophenone-S-methyl-thiosemicarbazone: synthesis,characterization, thermogravimetry,and a structural study

New complexes, [Fe(L)Cl], [Ni(L)], and [Zn(L)C₂H₅OH] (1–3), were synthesized by template reaction of 2-hydroxy-acetophenone-S-methyl-thiosemicarbazone with 2-hydroxy-benzaldehyde. The compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, magnetic measurements, FT-IR, ¹H NMR, UV–visible, and ESI–MS spectra. In these complexes, the ligand is coordinated to the metal ion as dinegatively charged tetradentate chelating agents via the N₂O₂ donor set. The iron(III) and zinc(II) complexes exhibit square pyramidal geometry whereas the nickel(II) complex has a square planar geometry. The crystal structure of 1, determined by X-ray diffraction method, indicates that 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c with Z = 4. Thermal decompositions of the compounds have been investigated using TGA in air.

Nickel(II) complexes with mono(imino)pyrrole ligands: preparation,structure and ethylene polymerization behavior

A series of unsymmetrical mono(imine)pyrroles (L1–L3) were synthesized by microwave irradiation from 2-acetylpyrrole and a series of dimethylanilines with two methyl groups at different positions on the aniline ring. A simplified synthetic method was initiated to prepare the corresponding nickel complexes NiL₂ (1–3) with direct condensation of mono(imine)pyrrole and nickel chloride. The compounds were determined using a suite of techniques (i.e. ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, IR, EA, MS). L1–L3 and 3 were further characterized by X-ray crystal diffraction. The structure of 3 showed that the ligand chelated to nickel with 2?:?1 M ratio, in spite of a 1?:?1 rate of charge. Application of 1–3 in ethylene polymerization indicated that mono(imino)pyrrole nickel complexes showed low activities. The polymerization reaction time and temperature, as well as the ligand structure, influenced the catalytic performance to some extent. Experimental data showed higher activity as –CH₃ on the aniline ring is closer to the imine group.     

Adsorptive Cathodic Stripping Voltammetry Determination of Ultra Trace of Lead in Different Real Samples

Abstract

In the present work, an adsorptive cathodic stripping voltammetric method using a hanging mercury drop electrode (HMDE) was described in order to determine the ultra trace of lead ions with carbidopa in different real samples. The method is based on accumulation of lead metal ion on mercury electrode using carbidopa as a suitable complexing agent. The potential was scanned to the negative direction and the differential pulse stripping voltammograms were recorded. The instrumental and chemical parameters were optimized. The optimized conditions were obtained in pH of 8.4, carbidopa amount of 1.0×10^?6 M, accumulation potential of 0. 0 V, accumulation time of 100 s, scan rate of 100 mV/s and pulse height of 50 mV. The relationship between the peak current versus concentration was linear over the range of 2.4×10^?10–4.8×10^?7 M. The limits of detection were 5.8×10^?11 M and the relative standard deviation at 4.8×10^?10, 2.1×10^?8, and 2.4×10^?7 M of lead ion were obtained 3.2, 2.9, and 2.7%, respectively (n=7).     

Complexes of 8-Aminoquinoline. I. The Infrared Spectra of the Ligand,the Tris Complexes of Iron,Cobalt and Nickel Perchlorates and Their ND2 Analogues

Abstract

Deuteration of 8-aminoquinoline (aq) at the amino groups and comparison of the infrared spectrum of aq with those of aniline and quinoline enables reliable assignments to be proposed for the amino stretching and bending modes and the internal modes of the aminoquinoline rings. The spectra of the tris(8-aminoquinoline) complexes of iron, cobalt and nickel perchlorates have been examined over the range 4000–50 cm^?1 with assignments based on the ligand study and the effects of metal ion substitution and deuteration of the nickel complex. The existence of two vM-NH₂ and two vM-N(aq) bands is consistent with facial (cis-cis) octahedral coordination about the metal ion.     

Die Chelate von Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Zn(II) und Cd(II) mit Malonsäurehydrazid und dessen Arylidenderivaten

The metal chelates formed by the reaction of Co²⁺, Cu²⁺, Ni²⁺, Zn²⁺, and Cd²⁺ with malonic hydrazide and its arylidene derivatives are investigated. The i.r.-absorption spectra of the solid compounds supported the tetradentate character of these compounds; they also show that the ligand still attained the keto form. The shift of the C=O, C=N bands is utilized in determining the coordination bond length. The stoichiometry of the metal complexes, as studied by spectrophotometric and conductometric methods, is found to be metal ion: ligand =11. The apparent formation constants of the malonic hydrazide complexes are also determined.
