Simultaneous Preconcentration of Copper,Nickel and Cobalt In Water By Coprecipitation-Flotation For Electrothermal Atomic Absorption Spectrometry

Abstract

A method is described for the simultaneous flotation separation and determination of μg-levels of copper (II), nickel (II) and cobalt (II) in water. Copper, nickel and cobalt in a 1000-ml sample of water are coprecipitated with hydrated zirconium oxide at pH 9.1±0.1. The precipitate is floated with the aid of a surfactant solution and small air bubbles, separated and dissolved in dilute hydrochloric acid. The contents of these elements are determined by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The method is applied to the determination of low μg/1 levels of copper, nickel and cobalt in fresh water.     

Spectrophotometric determination of nickel in biological samples using 1-azobenzene-3-(3-hydroxyl-2-pyridyl)-triazene

A new sensitive and selective chromogenic reagent, 1-azobenzene-3-(3-hydroxyl-2-pyridyl)-triazene (ABHPT), was synthesized. It has been found that ABHPT reacts with nickel(II) in a borax buffer solution (pH 10.0) to form 2: 1 red complexes with the maximum absorption at 530 nm. The apparent molar absorptivity of the complex is 2.6 × 10⁵ L/(mol cm). Most metal ions can be tolerated in considerable amounts, whereby only zinc and mercury may interfere with the determination of nickel(II). Nevertheless, this can be easily eliminated by prior separation with sulfhydryl dextran gel. A new method for the spectrophotometric determination of trace nickel(II) was developed. Beer’s law is obeyed for 0–15 μg of nickel(II) in 25 mL of solution. The limit of quantification, limit of detection, and relative standard deviation are 0.74 ng/mL, 0.25 ng/mL, and 1.0%, respectively. The method has been applied to the determination of trace nickel(II) in biological samples with satisfactory results. The text was submitted by the authors in English.     

Determination of Nickel in Biological Samples by Electrothermal Atomization-Atomic Absorption Spectrometry Involving a Prior Extraction with 1,5-Bis (Di-2-Pyridylmethylene) Thiocarbono-Hydrazide

Abstract

The use of 1,5-bis(di-2-pyridylmethylene) thiocarbono-hydrazide as a reagent for the extraction of Ni(II), Co(II), Zn(II), Fe(II), Cd(II) and Cu(II) into methyl isobutyl ketone has been studied, and a method for the determination of nickel at ultra-trace (ng/ml) level has been developed, by using electrothermal-atomization (graphite furnace) atomic absorption spectrometry involving a prior extraction with the cited extracting reagent. The chief advantage of the proposed method lies in its maximum allowed aqueous-to-organic phase volume ratio of 15. It has been successfully applied to the determination of nickel substrates in various biological samples.     

Principal Component‐Wavelet Neural Network as a Multivariate Calibration Method for Simultaneous Determination of Iron,Nickel, and Cobalt

Abstract

Principal component‐artificial neural network (PC‐ANN) and principal component‐wavelet neural network (PC‐WNN) are applied for simultaneous determination of iron(II), nickel(II), and cobalt(II). A simple and selective spectrophotometric method for simultaneous determination of iron(II), nickel(II), and cobalt(II) based on formation of their complexes with 1‐(2‐pyridylazo)‐2‐naphtol (PAN) in micellar media is described. Although the complexes of Fe(II), Ni(II), and Co(II) with reagent show a spectral overlap, they have been simultaneously determined by PC‐ANN and PC‐WNN. The results obtained by the two methods were compared and it was shown that in PC‐WNN, the convergence speed was faster and the root mean square error of prediction set was also smaller than PC‐ANN. Interference effects of common anions and cations were studied and the proposed method was also applied satisfactorily to the determination of Fe(II), Ni(II) and Co(II) in synthetic samples.

Abstract

A spectrophotometric method for nickel has been developed based on the formation of a ternary complex in the system Ni(II)/3-(4′,5′-dimethyl-2′-thiazolylazo)-2,6-dihydroxybenzoic acid/cyanide at pH 9.2 (borate buffer), which allows the determination of 0.05–0.47ppm of nickel (ε = 3.53×10⁴ 1.mol^?1. cm^?1) at 538nm. Interferences have been studied and the method applied to the determination of nickel in low alloy steels.     

Borchelate und Bormetallchelate,V1

Substitution of only one bridged hydrogen atom of bis(1,2-cycloheptanedionedioximato)nickel(II) by the diphenylboron group is easily accomplished with formation of1. Both hydroxy groups of bis(dihydroxyboron-diaminoglyoximato)nickel(II) chelate² can be esterified by phenol or methanol (chelates2 a andb). The bis(diphenylboron) chelate3 a results from the reaction of bis(dihydroxyborondiaminoglyoximato)nickel(II) with diphenylboric anhydride. In the same way the corresponding chelates3 b-f are obtainable from the boron-free nickel chelates. The i.r. and u.v. spectra as well as the diamagnetic character of the compounds described are in agreement with planar structures.

Determination of Trace Metal Ions in SeaWater by Atomic Absorption Spectrometry After Separation/Preconcentration with Calmagite on Amberlite Xad-1180

A preconcentration/separation method for the atomic absorption spectrometric determinations of Cu(II), Ni(II) and Pb(II) ions in seawater have been established by using a chromatographic column filled Amberlite XAD-1180. The recoveries of Cu(II), Ni(II) and Pb(II) ions were quantitative (> 95%) at pH 8-9. The influences of the various analytical parameters including the amount of calmagite, amount of Amberlite XAD-1180, eluent type, etc. were investigated. The influence of the seawater matrix was also examined. Simultaneous enrichment and determination of copper, nickel and lead ions in seawater are possible with satisfactory results (recoveries > 95%, RSD <9%).     

Synthesis and structural characterization of new trinuclear cobalt(II) and nickel(II) complexes possessing five- and six-coordinated geometry

Tri-nuclear cobalt and nickel complexes ([(CoL)₂(OAc)₂Co]?·?THF (I) and [(NiL)₂(OAc)₂(THF)₂Ni]?·?THF (II)) have been synthesized by reaction of a new Salen-type bisoxime chelating ligand of 2,2′-[ethylenedioxybis(nitrilomethylidyne)]dinaphthol(H₂L) with cobalt(II) acetate tetrahydrate or nickel(II) acetate tetrahydrate, respectively. Complexes I and II were characterized by elemental analyses, IR, TG-DTA and ¹H-NMR etc. The X-ray crystal structures of I and II reveal that two acetate ions coordinate to three cobalt or nickel ions through M–O–C–O–M (M?=?Co or Ni) bridges and four μ-naphthoxo oxygen atoms from two [ML] units also coordinate to cobalt(II) or nickel(II). Complex I has two distorted square-pyramidal coordination spheres and an octahedral geometry around Co1. In complex II all three nickel ions are six-coordinate.     

Synthesis and characterization of heterobimetallic Ni(II)–Zn(II) complexes from bis(2-hydroxy-1 -naphthaldehyde)succinoyldihydrazone

Monometallic zinc(II) and nickel(II) complexes, [Zn(H₂nsh)(H₂O)] (1) and [Ni(H₂nsh)(H₂O)₂] (2), have been synthesized in methanol by template method from bis(2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde)succinoyldihydrazone (H₄nsh). Reaction of monometallic complexes with alternate metal(II) acetates as a transmetallator in 1 : 3 molar ratio resulted in the formation of heterobimetallic complexes [NiZn(nsh)(A)₃] and [ZnNi(nsh)(A′)₂] (A = H₂O (3), py (4), 2-pic (5), 3-pic (6), 4-pic (7)), (A′ = H₂O (8), py (9), 2-pic (10), 3-pic (11), and 4-pic (12)). The complexes have been characterized by elemental analyzes, mass spectra, molar conductance, magnetic moments, electronic, EPR, and IR spectroscopies. All of the complexes are non-electrolytes. Monometallic zinc(II) is diamagnetic while monometallic nickel(II) complex and all heterobimetallic complexes are paramagnetic. The metal centers in heterobimetallic complexes are tethered by dihydrazone and naphthoxo bridging. Zinc(II) is square pyramidal; nickel(II) is six-coordinate distorted octahedral except [ZnNi(nsh)(A)₂], in which nickel(II) has square-pyramidal geometry. The displacement of metal center in monometallic complexes by metal ion has been observed in the resulting heterobimetallic complexes.

Trans-bis(dicyanamido)nickel(II) complexes with polyaza macrocyclic ligands

Two new trans-bis(dicyanamido)nickel(II) macrocyclic complexes, [Ni(II)(L1){N(CN)₂}₂] · H₂O (1) and [Ni(II)-(L3){N(CN)₂}₂] (2), where L1 is 3,10-bis(2-hydroxyethyl)-1,3,5,8,10,12-hexaazacyclotetradecane and L3 is 3,14-dimethyl-2,6,13,17-tetraazatricyclo[14,4,0^1.18,0^7.12]docosane, have been synthesized and structurally characterized by spectroscopic and X-ray crystallographic methods. In (1) and (2), each central nickel(II) ion possesses a distorted octahedral geometry with four equatorial nitrogen atoms from the macrocycle and two axial nitrogen atoms from dicyanamide anions, which are terminally bonded to the central nickel atom. The solid state electronic spectra of (1) and (2) using the diffuse reflectance method show a characteristic high-spin d⁸ nickel(II) ion in a distorted octahedral environment.

Abstract

A method is developed for simultaneous separation and determination of μg/L levels of Co(II), Cu(II) and Ni(II) in fresh water by precipitate flotation. The optimal conditions of the experimental procedure with hydrated iron(III) oxide and iron(III) tetramethylenedithiocarbamate as collectors were investigated. The pH interval of the working medium, within which Co(II), Cu(II) and Ni(II) can be successfully separated, was determined from the aspect of collectors and surfactant stability. The amounts of the elements investigated were determined by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry. The detection limit of the method is 0.15 μg/L for cobalt, 0.03 μg/L for copper and 0.79 μg/L for nickel.     

Sensitive and Selective Spectrophotometric Determination of Hg(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Co(II) Using Iminodibenzyl and 3-Chloroiminodibenzyl as New Reagents and Their Applications to Industrial Effluents and Soil Samples

Iminodibenzyl (IDB) and 3-chloroiminodibenzyl (Cl-IDB) are proposed as a new class of spectrophotometric reagents for the determination of micro amounts of mercury(II), nickel(II), copper(II) and cobalt(II) in the presence of 3-methyl-2-benzothiazoline hydrazone hydrochloride hydrate (MBTH) or 4-aminoantipyrine (AAP) as electrophilic coupling reagents. The reaction is carried out in neutral aqueous medium. The blue colour formed shows maximum absorbance at 660 nm using MBTH and 630 nm with AAP. The methods obey Beer's law. The molar absorptivity and Sandell's sensitivity show different values with different metals and reagents. The blue colour can also be extracted quantitatively which can be exploited as an efficient extractive spectrophotometric technique for the separation of metal ion from other interfering species. As many as 15 cations and 12 anions and/or complexing agents listed do not interfere. Both the methods have good reproducibility and can be satisfactorily applied in the determination of metals in industrial effluents and soil samples.     

Simultaneous Determination of Nickel and cobalt in Manganese Sulphate Electrolyte by DMGH2-Sensitized Differential Pulse Polarography

Abstract

A method is described for the simultaneous determination of nickel and cobalt in manganese sulphate electrolyte by the dimethylglyoxime (DMGH₂) sensitized differential pulse polarography. The high manganese sulphate background (1.2M) in the concentrated process plant electrolyte interferes only with the nickel determination and precludes its direct determination. A 50% v/v dilution and an excessive amount (2 × 10^?3M) of the chelating agent are required at pH7.7 for the reliable determination of both elements. Under these conditions, the linear concentration ranges are 0-110 μg/1 for nickel and 0-140 μg/1 for cobalt. The minimum detectable amounts above the levels present in the process plant electrolyte are 2 μg/1 and 1 μg/1 for both elements, respectively. The relative standard deviations for all measurements are between 1 and 3%.

A 2-D nickel(II) mixed-ligand metal–organic framework [Ni(NPTA)(4,4′-bipy)(H₂O)]_n (1) was synthesized by reaction of 3-nitrophthalic acid (H₂NPTA) and 4,4′-bipyridine (4,4′-bipy) with Ni(II) under hydrothermal condition and characterized by elemental analysis, infrared spectroscopy, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Compound 1 possesses a 2-D layer structure constructed from dinuclear nickel(II) building blocks in which two crystallographically equivalent Ni ions are bridged by two NPTA ligands. Furthermore, the layers are connected into 3-D supramolecular network by hydrogen bonds. The magnetism and antibacterial activity of 1 were investigated.     

THE SYNTHESES AND PROPERTIES OF COBALT(II), NICKEL(II) AND COPPER(II) COMPLEXES WITH SOME 1,4-BENZODIAZEPINES

Abstract

The preparation and characterization of some cobalt(II), nickel(II) and copper(II) complexes with 7-chloro-2-methylamino-5-phenyl-3H-1, 4-benzodiazepin-4-oxide and 1, 3-dihydro-7-nitro-5-phenyl-2H-1, 4-benzodiazepin-2-one are reported. The complexes have been studied by means of magnetic susceptibility measurements, infrared and far infrared spectra, electronic spectra and conductivity measurements. Assignments for the metal-ligand and metal-halide bands have also been made. The evidence suggests that the cobalt(II) and nickel(II) complexes have a pseudotetrahedral symmetry, whereas the copper(II) complexes are octahedral.     

Nickel(II), copper(II), and cobalt(II) complexes derived from a new unsymmetrical ONS donor Schiff base ligand: synthesis,characterization, crystal structure,and catalytic activities

Ni(II), Cu(II), and Co(II) complexes, ML₂, with a new thioether containing ONS donors were synthesized, where L = deprotonated Schiff base. The analytical, spectral (FTIR, ¹H NMR, and UV-vis), conductivity, and magnetic studies show that the metal complexes possess octahedral geometry and are non-electrolytes. The coordination mode of ligand, 1, and nickel(II) complex, NiL₂, 2, was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. Here, the nickel is coordinated to two oxygens, two nitrogens, and two sulfurs of two tridentate ligands with slightly distorted octahedral environment around nickel. The copper complex shows very good catalytic activities towards oxidation of organic thioethers to the corresponding sulfoxide predominantly using H₂O₂ as the oxidant.     

Differential Pulse Polarography of Nickel(II) with Imidazole and Related Compounds

Abstract

Electrochemical reductions of nickel(II) complexes with imidazole, histamine, histidine, and pilocarpine have been studied using differential pulse polarography in the presence of 1.0 mol dm^?3 sodium acetate as supporting electrolyte. The peak potential for the complexes appeared at more positive potentials than for the nickel aquo ion. The positive shift ceases and then reverses to the negative direction for high ligand concentrations. Both histidine and pilocarpine have shown another wave which may be ascribed to the catalytic reduction of hydrogen ions in the solution. The peak height of the differential pulse pre-wave increases with the concentration of the ligands only when shift in potential is in the positive direction with the nickel ion concentration in excess of the organic ligand. The linearity of variation of the peak height with the concentration for the above mentioned compounds has been investigated. A mixture of histamine and histidine showed two separate peaks, permitting possible simultaneous determination when the compounds are in admixture.

Synthesis,spectral, structural,and DFT studies on nickel(II) complexes with pyrrole based dithiocarbamate and triphenylphosphine ligands

Bis(N-(pyrrol-2-ylmethyl)-N-isopropyldithiocarbamato-S,S′)nickel(II) (1) and (N-(pyrrol-2-ylmethyl)-N-isopropyldithiocarbamato-S,S′)(thiocyanato-N)(triphenylphosphine)nickel(II) (2) have been prepared and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, ¹H, and¹³C NMR and UV-visible absorption spectra. In addition, the structures of 2 and (N-(pyrrol-2-ylmethyl)-N-butyldithiocarbamato-S,S′)(thiocyanato-N)(triphenylphosphine)nickel(II) (3) have been elucidated by X-ray crystallography. UV-vis spectral data are consistent with the formation of square planar complexes. The crystal structures of 2 and 3 reveal S₂NP square-planar configuration around the Ni atom. A rare C–H···Ni short contact interaction was observed in complex 3 involving ortho-hydrogen atom of one of the phenyl ring of the triphenylphosphine. DFT calculations on complexes 2 and 3are in close agreement with the crystallographic results. The energy gap between HOMO and LUMO for 2 and 3 is 2.7167 and 2.6936 eV, respectively. Molecular electrostatic potential analysis of 2 and 3 support the partial double character of thioureide C–N bond.
