Polarographic Studies on Se(IV) in Absence and Presence of Pb(II), Zn(II) and Sb(III) Ions in Aqueous N-(2-ACETAMIDO) Imino Diacetate Buffer Solutions

Abstract

The polarographic reduction and determination of selenite ions in absence and presence of a mixture of some cationic species such as, Pb(II), Zn(II) and Sb(III) in N-(2-acetamido) imino diacetate solutions, at constants of ionic strength 0.1 mol dm^?3 (KNO₃) and temperature 25°C was studied using direct current and differential pulse polarographic (DPP) techniques. It was shown that reduction of Se(IV) takes place along one, two or three waves depending on the pH value of the solution using the direct current polarographic measurements. The reduction of Se(IV) in N-(2-acetamido) imino diacetate buffer solutions was found to be reversible and involving six electron transfer process. Microcoulometric experiments was performed at the limiting current region of the different waves and at various pH values. Kinetic parameters and wave characteristics for the reduction of selenite ions have been calculated. A method for the analytical determination of selenite ions in either simple or quadruple mixture of ADA buffer solutions using DPP techniques are reported and discussed.     

The Spectrophotometry Determination of Mn(III) in the Presence of Mn(IV)

Abstract

The spectra of complex of Mn(III) and Mn(IV) with pyrophosphoric acid are investigated. The molar absorption coefficient of the complex of Mn(III) with pyrophosphoric acid is 80.6/Mcm at 510nm which is close to that of Mn(IV), 110/Mcm, however, the molar absorption coefficient of the complex of Mn(HI) with pyrophosphoric acid is only 4.98/Mcm at 398nm which is much less than that of Mn(IV), 390/Mcm. Based on this absorbance difference between Mn(III) and Mn(IV) at wavelength 398nm and 510nm, a procedure of determination of Mn(III) in the presence of Mn(IV) has been developed.     

Kinetic studies on the reduction of a nickel (III) oxime-imine complex by sulphur(IV) and selenium(IV)

The kinetics of the reduction of [Ni^III(L¹)]²⁺ (where HL¹ = 15-amino-3-methyl-4,7,10,13-tetraazapentadec-3-en-2-one oxime) by sulphur(IV) and selenium (IV) over the regions pH 2.50–8.02 and 2.01–4.00 respectively have been investigated at 30°C. Attempts were made to evaluate the reactivity of all the reacting species, of sulphur(IV) and selenium(IV) by considering suitable pH ranges. The oxidation of SC₂·H₂O and HSO ₃ ⁻ is proposed to proceed through the formation of a hydrogen-bonded adduct. The reaction with SO ₃ ²⁻ seems to follow a direct outer-sphere route which is well supported by Marcus crossrelation calculation. The oxidation of HSeO _l3 ⁻ is ≈ 10³ times slower than that of H₂SeO₃. The kinetic data indicate that the oxidation of sulphur(IV) by [Ni^IIIL¹)]²⁺ is much more favourable as compared to the corresponding oxidation of selenium(IV).     

Bioactive versatile azomethine complexes of organotin(IV) and organosilicon(IV)

Diorganotin(IV) and diorganosilicon(IV) derivatives of the types R₂MCl(TSCZ) and R₂M(TSCZ)₂ (where TSCZ is the anion of a thiosemicarbazone ligand, R=Ph or Me and M=Sn or Si) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, molecular weight determinations and conductivity measurements. The mode of bonding has been established on the basis of IR and ¹H, ¹³C ²⁹Si and ¹¹⁹Sn NMR spectroscopic studies. Some of the representative complexes have also been evaluated for their antimicrobial effects on different species of pathogenic fungi and bacteria in vivoas well as in vitro.The results of these investigations are reported. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

The resulting complexes have been characterized by elemental analyses, molecualr weight determinations and conductivity measurements. The mode of bonding has been established on the basis of infrared and ¹H, ¹³C and ¹¹⁹Sn NMR spectroscopic studies. Some respresentative complexes have also been evaluated for their antimicrobial effects on different species of pathogenic fungi and bacteria; the results of these investigations have been reported in the present paper.     

O-Alkyl Trithiophosphate Derivatives of Triorganotin(IV) and S-Alkyl Trithiophosphate Derivatives of Diorganotin(IV) Chloride

Reactions of triorganotin chlorides with potassium salt of O-alkyl trithiophosphate [ROP(S)(SK)₂; R = Me, Prⁱ, Ph] in 2:1 molar ratio in anhydrous benzene yield triorganotin O-alkyl trithiophosphate of the type ROP(S) [SSnR′₃]₂ R = Me, Prⁱ; Ph, R′ = Prⁿ, Buⁿ, Ph] which are found to be monomeric in nature. These complexes are soluble in common organic solvents.

Chromatographic behaviour of metal ions on tin(IV) and titanium(IV) antimonate papers

Summary The chromatographic behaviour of 49 metal ions has been studied on papers impregnated with Sn(IV) and Ti(IV) antimonates in aqueous HNO₃ and mixed solvent systems containing dimethyl sulphoxide. Numerous separations have been achieved and the Alberti equation, for Sn(IV) and Ti(IV) antimonate papers, in the modified form: –nloga K⁺=R_M + constant (a K⁺=activity of K⁺), has been verified. The effect of the concentration of impregnating reagents on these papers has been determined and compared with other papers. The effect of pH on R_f, R_i, log R_f and R_M values of metal ions has also been examined in aqueous systems.     

Adaptable coordination of U(IV) in the 2D-(4,4) uranium oxalate network: From 8 to 10 coordinations in the uranium (IV) oxalate hydrates

Crystals of uranium (IV) oxalate hydrates, U(C₂O₄)₂·6H₂O (1) and U(C₂O₄)₂·2H₂O (2), were obtained by hydrothermal methods using two different U(IV) precursors, U₃O₈ oxide and nitric U(IV) solution in presence of hydrazine to avoid oxidation of U(IV) into uranyl ion. Growth of crystals of solvated monohydrated uranium (IV) oxalate, U(C₂O₄)₂·H₂O·(dma) (3), dma=dimethylamine, was achieved by slow diffusion of U(IV) into a gel containing oxalate ions. The three structures are built on a bi-dimensional complex polymer of U(IV) atoms connected through bis-bidentate oxalate ions forming [U(C₂O₄)]₄ pseudo-squares. The flexibility of this supramolecular arrangement allows modifications of the coordination number of the U(IV) atom which, starting from 8 in 1 increases to 9 in 3 and, finally increases, to 10 in 2. The coordination polyhedron changes from a distorted cube, formed by eight oxygen atoms of four oxalate ions, in 1, to a mono-capped square anti-prism in 3 and, finally, to a di-capped square anti-prism in 2, resulting from rotation of the oxalate ions and addition of one and two water oxygen atoms in the coordination of U(IV). In 1, the space between the _∞²[U(C₂O₄)₂] planar layers is occupied by non-coordinated water molecules; in 2, the space between the staggered _∞²[U(C₂O₄)₂·2H₂O] layers is empty, finally in 3, the solvate molecules occupy the interlayer space between corrugated _∞²[U(C₂O₄)₂·H₂O] sheets. The thermal decomposition of U(C₂O₄)₂·6H₂O under air and argon atmospheres gives U₃O₈ and UO₂, respectively.     

The First Butyltin(IV) Homo- and Heterobimetallic Diethanolaminates

Equimolar reactions of BuSn(OPrⁱ)₃ with diethanolamines, RN(CH₂CH₂ OH) ₂ (abbreviated as RdeaH₂, where R = H or Me), afford dimeric isopropoxo-bridged six-coordinate butyltin(IV) complexes [{Bu(η³-Rdea)Sn(μ-OPrⁱ)}₂] (R = H ( 1 ), Me ( 2 )). Interactions between BuSn(OPrⁱ)₃ and diethanolamines (RdeaH₂) in a 1:2 molar ratio yield monomeric derivatives of the type [BuSn(Rdea)(RdeaH)] (R = H ( 3 ), R = Me ( 4 )). These homometallic complexes on 1:1 reactions with an appropriate metal alkoxide form monomeric heterobimetallic complexes of the type [BuSn (Rdea)₂ {M(OR′)_n}] (R = H, M = Al, R′ = Prⁱ, n = 2 ( 5 ); R = H, M = Ti, R = Prⁱ, n = 3 ( 6 ); R = H, M = Zr, R′ = Prⁱ, n = 3 ( 7 ); R = Me, M = Al, R′ = Prⁱ, n = 2 ( 8 ); R = Me, M = Ti, R′ = Prⁱ, n = 3 ( 9 ); R = Me, M = Ge, R′ = Et, n = 3 ( 10 )). The driving force behind this work was (i) to explore the utility of homometal complexes ( 1 ) –( 4 ) in assembling a metal alkoxide fragment via a condensation reaction and (ii) to gain insights into the structures of new compounds by NMR spectral data. All of these derivatives have been characterized by elemental analysis, spectroscopic (IR, NMR; ¹H, ²⁷Al, and ¹¹⁹Sn) studies, and molecular weight measurements. ¹¹⁹Sn NMR spectral studies indicate that both the homometallic ( 3 ) and ( 4 ) and heterobimetallic ( 5 ) – ( 9 ) complexes exist in a solution in an equilibrium of six- and five-coordinated tin(IV) species.

Using the molecular parameters of the X-Ray determinations the low temperature (10 K) IR and Raman spectra of the (n-Bu₄N) salts of all four linkage isomers are assigned by normal coordinate analyses based on a modified valence force field. The valence force constants are f_d(OsN) = 1.59 ( 1 ), 1.67 ( 2 ), 1.60 ( 3 ) and f_d(OsS) = 1.27 ( 2 ), 1.31 ( 3 ) and 1.32 mdyn Å^?1 ( 4 ). Taking into account increments of the trans influence a good agreement between observed and calculated frequencies is achieved.

Simultaneous determination of Zr(IV) and Hf(IV) by CE using precolumn complexation with a [PW(11)O(39)](7-) ligand

A CE method was developed for the simultaneous determination of Zr(IV) and Hf(IV) at trace levels. A lacunary Keggin-type [PW(11)O(39)](7-) ligand reacted quantitatively with a mixture of trace amounts of Zr(IV) and Hf(IV) to form the so-called ternary Keggin-type anions [P(Zr(IV)W(11))O(40)](5-) and [P(Hf(IV)W(11))O(40)](5-) in 0.010 M monochloroacetate buffer (pH 2.2). Since both ternary anions possessed different electrophoretic mobilities and high molar absorptivities in the UV region, Zr(IV) and Hf(IV) were determined simultaneously with direct UV detection at 258 nm. Each peak height was linearly dependent on the concentration of Zr(IV) or Hf(IV) in the range of 5.0x10(-7)-1.0x10(-5) M; a detection limit of 2x10(-7) M was achieved. The utility of the proposed CE method was demonstrated for the simultaneous determination of Zr(IV) and Hf(IV) in natural water samples with satisfactory results.     

Reversed Flow Injection Chemiluminescence Determination of Pyridoxine Hydrochloride Based on the Cerium(IV)-Sodium Sulfite System

A rapid chemiluminescence (CL) reaction was observed when Ce(IV) was injected into the mixed solution of pyridoxine hydrochloride and sodium sulfite. A new flow-injection CL method for the determination of pyridoxine hydrochloride was established. The detection limit (3σ) was 0.5 mg/L pyridoxine hydrochloride and the relative standard deviation (RSD) was 3.3% (n = 11, γ = 5 mg/L). The CL intensity responded linearly to the concentration of pyridoxine hydrochloride in the ranges 1.0–10.0 mg/L and 10.0–100.0 mg/L with linear correlation coefficients of 0.9994 and 0.9991, respectively. The method had been applied to the determination of pyridoxine hydrochloride in tablets and injections successfully.     

Glycol modified cis -diisopropoxy- bis ( N -phenylsalicylideneiminato)zirconium(IV): syntheses,characterization and low temperature transformation to nanocrystalline zirconia

Zr(OPrⁱ)₄·PrⁱOH reacts with N-phenylsalicylideneimine in anhydrous benzene in 1 : 2 molar ratio to afford [Zr{O(C₆H₄)CH=NPh}₂{OPrⁱ}₂] (1). Further reactions of 1 with various glycols yield heteroleptic complexes of the type [Zr{O(C₆H₄)CH=NPh}₂{O–G–O}] [where–G–= (CH₂)₂ (2), (CH₂CHCH₃) (3), (CH₃CHCHCH₃) (4), (CH₂CHC₂H₅) (5), (CH₂)₃ (6), (CH₂CH₂CHCH₃) (7), and (CH₂)₆ (8)]. All new derivatives have been characterized by elemental analyses, FTIR and NMR (¹H and ¹³C{¹H}) studies. FAB mass spectra of 1 and 7 revealed the monomeric nature of these complexes. Complete hydrolyses and low temperature transformations of 1 and 7 using Sol-Gel technique formed tetragonal phase of ZrO₂ at 700°C, whereas transformation of tetragonal to monoclinic phase occurred at 900°C. SEM observations of these samples indicate formation of agglomerates of nanocrystalline zirconia (Scherer analysis).     

Gravimetric Determination of Mercury(II) and Vanadium(IV) with Benzoylacetanilide

Abstract

Gravimetric methods for the determinations of mercury(II) and vanadium(IV) with benzoylacetanilide have been described. These metals have been separated from commonly associated ions and a procedure for the determination of vanadium content of steel has been developed. By these methods, 14 to 50 mg. of mercury and 5 to 20 mg. of vanadium have been estimated with relative standard deviations of 0.18% and 0.10%, respectively.     

Novel platinum(II) and (IV) complexes of naphthaldimine schiff bases

Naphthaldimines containing N₂O₂ donor centers react with platinum(II) and (IV) chlorides to give two types of complexes depending on the valence of the platinum ion. For [Pt(II)], the ligand is neutral, [(H₂L¹)PtCl₂]·3H₂O (1) and [(H₂L³)₂Pt₂Cl₄]·5H₂O (3), or monobasic [(HL²)₂Pt₂Cl₂]·2H₂O (2) and [(HL⁴)₂Pt]·2H₂O (4). These complexes are all diamagnetic having square-planar geometry. For [Pt(IV)], the ligand is dibasic, [(L¹)Pt₂Cl₄(OH)₂]·2H₂O (5), [(L²)Pt₃Cl₁₀]·3H₂O (6), [(L³)Pt₂Cl₄(OH)₂]·C₂H₅OH (7) and [(L⁴)Pt₂Cl₆]·H₂O (8). The Pt(IV) complexes are diamagnetic and exhibit octahedral configuration around the platinum ion. The complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, UV-Vis and IR spectra, electrical conductivity and thermal analyses (DTA and TGA). The molar conductances in DMF solutions indicate that the complexes are non-ionic. The complexes were tested for their catalytic activities towards cathodic reduction of oxygen.     

Spermatocyte chromosome alterations in truncatella subcylindrica (L., 1767) (Mollusca,Mesogastropoda) following exposure to dibutyltin(IV) and tributyltin(IV) chlorides

In order to analyze chromosomes for possible numerical and structural alterations in response to exposure to organotin(IV) compounds, gastropod Truncatella subcylindrica specimens were treated with dibutyltin(IV) and tributyltin(IV) chloride solutions with different exposure times. Experimental evidence suggests that tributyltin(IV) chloride is more toxic to this organism than dibutyltin(IV) dichloride at low concentrations. Furthermore, the toxicity responses to these organotin(IV) derivatives seem to be proportional to both concentration and exposure time. The following structural lesions have been identified by comparative analysis of spermatocyte chromosomes from untreated specimens and specimens treated with organotin(IV) compounds: (1) breakages; (2) bridging; (3) irregular outline; and (4) light areas after staining with acetic orcein. In this respect, dibutyltin(IV) and tributyltin(IV) chlorides seem to have an effect similar to that of colchicine.     

Nitrosylation of Hexafluoridotechnetate(IV)

Potassium hexafluoridotechnetate(IV), K₂[TcF₆], slowly reacts in aqueous solution with acetohydroxamic acid with formation of the ammine nitrosyltechnetium(I) complex [Tc(NO)(NH₃)₄F]⁺. The product crystallizes as mixed TcF₆^2–/HF₂^– salt of the composition [Tc(NO)(NH₃)₄F]₄[TcF₆][HF₂]₂. [Tc(NO)(NH₃)₄F]⁺ represents the first nitrosyltechnetium complex with a fluorido ligand in its coordination sphere. The Tc–F bonds in two crystallographically independent species are 1.987(2) and 2.034(2) Å, respectively. This is slightly longer than in the [TcF₆]^2– counterion.
