Uptake of Divalent Metal Ions (Cu2+, Zn2+ and Cd2+) by Polysiloxane Immobilized Glycinate Ligand System

ABSTRACT

Porous solid siloxane polymer carrying glycinate functional group of formula –(CH₂)₃NHCH₂COOH has been prepared by the sol-gel process. Treatment of aqueous solutions of divalent metal ions with the polysiloxane glycinate ligand system demonstrates that this material exhibits high potential for preconcentration of metal ions (Cu²⁺, Zn²⁺ and Cd²⁺). The ligand system chemisorbs these divalent metal ions, at optimum conditions, in the order: Cd²⁺ < Zn²⁺ < Cu²⁺. The uptake of copper ions is concentration dependent but it is independent on the presence of other competing ions. Treatment of the glycinate ligand system with acidic solution results in leaching of bound ligands. The highest leaching occurs in presence of copper ions at low pH     

Macrocyclic Polysiloxane Immobilized Ligand System and Its Structural Characterization

A new porous solid macrocyclic 1,4,7,10,14,17,20‐heptaazadocosane‐3,21‐dione polysiloxane ligand system of the general formula P‐(CH₂)₃‐C₁₅H₃₂O₂N₅, (where P represents [Si‐O]n siloxane network) has been prepared by the reaction of immobilized iminobis(N‐diethylenediamineacetamide)polysiloxane with 1,3 dibromopropane. The new macrocyclic polysiloxane ligand system exhibits high potential for the uptake of metal ions (Fe³⁺, Co²⁺, Ni²⁺, Cu²⁺ and Zn²⁺). Complexation with copper ions exhibits a high selectivity in which two copper ions were involved per one macrocyclic ligand group.     

New Strategy for the Synthesis of Diethylenetriaminetetraacetic Acid Functionalized Polysiloxane Ligand Systems

A new rout was used for the synthesis of porous solid polysiloxane matrix of the general formula P-(CH₂)₃N(CH₂COOEt)-(CH₂)₂N(CH₂COOEt)-(CH₂)₂-N(CH₂COOEt)₂ (where P represents [Si-O]_n) by the reaction of diethylenetriaminetrimethoxysilane with ethyl chloroacetate followed by polymerization with tetraethylorthosilicate via the sol gel process. The functionalized diethylenetriaminetetraacetic acid polysiloxane system (P-DETATA) was then obtained by acid hydrolysis of the diethylenetriaminetetraethylacetate functionalized polysiloxane(P-DETATAc). FTIR, ¹³C, ²⁹Si CP-MAS NMR and XPS methods were used for characterization of their chemical structure. The new functionalized ligand system exhibits high capacity to coordinate with divalent metal ions (Co²⁺, Ni²⁺, and Cu²⁺) than its analogous ligand obtained by postmodification of triamine polysiloxane with ethyl chloroacetate.     

Preconcentration and Separation of Copper(II) by 3-Aminopropylpolysiloxane Immobilized Ligand System

Porous solid insoluble polysiloxane-immobilized ligand system bearing propylamine of the general formula P-(CH₂)₃-NH₂ (where P represents [Si–O]_n siloxane network) was prepared and evaluated for the separation and preconcentration of copper(II) from aqueous solution. The ligand system retained Cu(II) effectively when used as a metal ion extractant. The ligand system also showed high selectivity to separate copper(II) from a mixture of metal ions (Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II)) when used as chromatographic stationary phase. The optimum pH appeared to be pH = 5.5 using acetate buffer as an eluent. Thermal analysis showed that the ligand system is very stable at relatively high temperatures.

Abstract

Insoluble porous solid, macrocyclic 22-membered ring, 1-oxa-6,9,12,15,18-pentaaza-2,22-disilacyclododocosane polysiloxane ligand system has been prepared by the reaction of a macro-silane agent with tetraethylorthosilicate. The macro-silane agent was prepared by the reaction of imino-bis(N-2-aminoethylacetamide) ligand with 3-iodopropyltrimethoxysilane in 1:3 molar ratio. The new prepared polysiloxane system exhibits variable potentials for the extraction of metal ions (Fe³⁺, Co²⁺, Ni²⁺, Cu²⁺, Zn²⁺, Ag⁺, Cd²⁺, Hg²⁺, and Pb²⁺) from aqueous solutions. The ligand system shows high capacity to extract silver, lead, and mercury. Chemisorption of the metal ions by the ligand system at the optimum conditions was found in the order Ag ⁺ > Pb²⁺ > Hg²⁺ > Cu²⁺ > Ni²⁺ > Fe³⁺ > Co²⁺ > Cd²⁺ > Zn²⁺.

Synthesis of New Polysiloxane-Immobilized Ligand System Di(amidomethyl)aminetetraacetic Acid

A new chelating porous polysiloxane-immobilized tetraacetic acid ligand system has been prepared. This material was made by chemical modification of the iminodiacetic acid polysiloxane with thionyl chloride and diethyliminodiacetate, respectively. The polysiloxane functionalized with di(amidomethyl)aminetetraacetic acid of the general formula P-(CH ₂ ) ₃ N(CH ₂ C(O)N) ₂ (CH ₂ COOH) ₄ [where P represents the polysiloxane backbones (Si?O?Si) _n ] was characterized by Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) and FTIR spectra. The FTIR results proved that tetraacetic acid groups are successfully grafted onto the polysiloxane surface. This ligand system exhibits high potential for extraction of divalent metal ions (Co⁺², Ni⁺², Cu⁺², and Zn⁺²) from aqueous solution.     

BODIPY Immobilized MCM-41 Based Multianalyte Sensor: Application in Detection and Removal of Trivalent (Al3+, Cr3+) and Divalent (Cu2+, Hg2+) Metal Ions in Aqueous Media

In the present study, a novel p-phenylcarboxylic acid BODIPY ( L ) immobilized MCM-41 based solid chemosensor material L-propylsilyl@MCM-41 ( MS4 ) was developed to detect multiple metal ions in a pure aqueous medium. The synthesized solid chemosensor material MS4 shows high sensitivity and removal ability towards trivalent (Al³⁺, Cr³⁺) and divalent (Cu²⁺, Hg²⁺) metal ions. The emission intensity of MS4 enhanced multifold selectively in the presence of trivalent (Al³⁺, Cr³⁺) metal ions and shows quenching in the presence of divalent (Cu²⁺, Hg²⁺) metal ions. The limit of detection was calculated to be in the nanomolar range with Al³⁺, Cr³⁺, Cu²⁺_, and Hg²⁺ metal ions in the aqueous medium. The spectroscopic and analytical results suggest that MS4 selectively binds with Al³⁺ and Cr³⁺ through −NH functionality and with Hg²⁺ and Cu²⁺ through −COOH functionality of p-phenylcarboxylic acid BODIPY ( L ). Further, MS4 selectively removes Al³⁺, Cr³⁺, Cu²⁺, and Hg²⁺ metal ions from the aqueous media with removal efficiency of 97.28 %, 96.34 %, 87.19 %, and 95.63 %, respectively. No noticeable change in the concentration was observed for other metal ions. The recycling potential of MS4 was evaluated using EDTA for up to seven cycles with no significant reduction in sensing capability.     

Remove of Heavy Metals(Cu2+, Pb2+, Zn2+ and Cd2+) in Water Through Modified Diatomite

At present, heavy metal pollution has become a major environmental problem, influencing the survival of human and other creatures. Developing heavy metal ion adsorbents, which are environment friendly, of low cost and good performance is one of the effective means to solve heavy metal pollution. Rich low-grade diatomite mineral, as raw material, was modified with calcium carbonate to improve the adsorption properties of diatomite for heavy metal ions. The effects of dosage(m), pH, adsorbing time(t), temperature(T) and concentration of adsorbent(c) on the removal rate of heavy metal ions(Cu²⁺, Pb²⁺, Zn²⁺ and Cd²⁺) were studied. The results show that under the suitable conditions, T=15 ℃, c=1.5 mmol/L, m=10 g/L, t=60 min, in a weak acid environment, the removal effect of the four kinds of metal ions by modified diatomite is the best.     

改性磁性壳聚糖微球对Cu2+、Cd2+和Ni2+的吸附性能

Fe3O4/ chitosan magnetic microspheres of 50 to 80 滋m were prepared using the inverse phase emulsion dispersion and chemical crosslinking technology, and then modified with ethylenediamine for use in the adsorption of heavy metal ions. The adsorption properties of the modified Fe3O4/chitosan toward Cu2+, Cd2+ and Ni2+ were investigated. It was found that the adsorption capacities of Cu2+ and Ni2+ increased with pH, and a maximum adsorption for Cd2+ occurred at pH=3. The saturated adsorption capacities calculated by Langmuir isotherms were 54.3 mg·g-1 for Cu2+, 20.4 mg·g-1 for Cd2+, and 12.4 mg·g-1 for Ni2+, respectively. The adsorption kinetics were well described by pseudo-second-order equation models. The experimental results showed that the Fe3O4/chitosan modified with ethylenediamine presented higher adsorption selectivity for Cu2+ than for Cd2+ and Ni2+ in all studied pH ranges.     

Detection of Metal Ions (Cu2+, Hg2+) and Cocaine by Using Ligation DNAzyme Machinery

The Cu²⁺‐dependent ligation DNAzyme is implemented as a biocatalyst for the colorimetric or chemiluminescence detection of Cu²⁺ ions, Hg²⁺ ions, or cocaine. These sensing platforms are based on the structural tailoring of the sequence of the Cu²⁺‐dependent ligation DNAzyme for specific analytes. The tethering of a subunit of the hemin/G‐quadruplex DNAzyme to the ligation DNAzyme sequence, and the incorporation of an imidazole‐functionalized nucleic‐acid sequence, which acts as a co‐substrate for the ligation DNAzyme that is tethered to the complementary hemin/G‐quadruplex subunit. In the presence of different analytes, Cu²⁺ ions, Hg²⁺ ions, or cocaine, the pretailored Cu²⁺‐dependent ligation DNAzyme sequence stimulates the respective ligation process by combining the imidazole‐functionalized co‐substrate with the ligation DNAzyme sequence. These reactions lead to the self‐assembly of stable hemin/G‐quadruplex DNAzyme nanostructures that enable the colorimetric analysis of the substrate through the DNAzyme‐catalyzed oxidation of 2,2′‐azinobis(3‐ethylbenzothiazoline‐6‐sulfonic acid), ABTS^2?, by H₂O₂ into the colored product ABTS^.?, or the chemiluminescence detection of the substrate through the DNAzyme‐catalyzed oxidation of luminol by H₂O₂. The detection limits for the sensing of Cu²⁺ ions, Hg²⁺ ions, and cocaine correspond to 1 nM , 10 nM and 2.5 μM , respectively. These different sensing platforms also reveal impressive selectivities.

Synthesis of Polysiloxane-Immobilized Monoamine,Diamine, and Triamine Ligand Systems in the Presence of CTAB and Their Applications

Abstract

Polysiloxane-immobilized monoamine, diamine, and triamine ligand systems of the general formula P-(CH₂)₃-X [where P represents a polysiloxane three-dimension silica like network, and X represents monoamine(-NH₂), diamine (-NH(CH₂)₂NH₂), or triamine (-NH(CH₂)₂NH(CH₂)₂NH₂) functional ligand groups] were prepared by hydrolytic polycondensation of the tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) and the appropriate amine silane coupling agent (RO)₃Si-(CH₂)₃X in the presence of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) as surfactant using the sol-gel method. The polysiloxane-immobilized amine ligand systems exhibit a higher potential for divalent metal ions (Cu²⁺, Ni²⁺, Co²⁺) when CTAB was used as surfactant than those of the corresponding polysiloxane ligand systems prepared without CTAB. X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) analyses show a significant change in the surface composition as resulting from the incorporation of CTAB, which can be related to the increase in the uptake of metal ions.     

Simultaneous determination of Cu2+, Zn2+, Cd2+, Hg2+ and Pb2+ by using second-derivative spectrophotometry method

A new method of simultaneous determination of Cu2+, Zn2+, Cd2+, Hg2+ and Pb2+ is proposed here by using the second-derivative spectrophotometry method. In pH=10.35 Borax-NaOH buffer, using meso-tetra (3-methoxyl-4-hydroxylphenyl) porphyrin ([T-(3-MO-4-HP)P]) as chromomeric reagent, micelle solution was formed after Tween-80 surfactant was added into the solution containing Cu2+, Zn2+, Cd2+, Hg2+ and Pb2+ ions. The original absorption spectrum of the above complexes was obtained after heating in the boiling water for 25 min. The second-derivative absorption peaks of five metal-porphyrin complexes can be separated from the original absorption spectrum by using chemometric tool. In this way, Cu2+, Zn2+, Cd2+, Hg2+ and Pb2+ ions can be determined simultaneously. Under the optimal conditions, the linear ranges of the calibration curve were 0-0.60, 0-0.60, 0-0.40, 0-0.80 and 0-0.48 μg mL(-1) for Cu2+, Zn2+, Cd2+, Hg2+ and Pb2+, respectively. The molar absorptivity of these color systems were 1.38×10(5), 1.01×10(5), 3.24×10(5), 1.07×10(5) and 1.29×10(5)Lmol(-1)cm(-1). The method developed in this paper has advantages in selectivity, sensitivity, operation and can effectively resolve spectra overlapping problem. This method has been applied to determine the real samples with satisfactory results.     

Interaction of cysteine with Cu2+ and group IIb (Zn2+, Cd2+, Hg2+) metal cations: a theoretical study

The structure and energetics of complexes obtained upon interaction between cysteine and Zn2+, Cd2+, Hg2+ and Cu2+ cations were studied using quantum chemical density functional theory calculations with the 6-311++G** orbital basis set and relativistic pseudopotentials for the cations. Different coordination sites for metal ions on several cysteine conformers were considered. In their lowest energy complexes with the amino acid, the Zn2+ and Cd2+ cations appear to be three-coordinated to carbonyl oxygen, nitrogen and sulfur atoms, whereas the Cu2+ and Hg2+ ions are coordinated to both the carbonyl oxygen and sulfur atoms of one of the zwitterion forms of the amino acid. Bonds of metal cations with the coordination sites are mainly ionic except those established with sulfur, which show a small covalent character that become most significant when Cu2+ and Hg2+ are involved. The order of metal ion affinity proposed is Cu>Zn>Hg>Cd.

Alkaline Earth Metal Zirconate Perovskites MZrO3 (M=Ba2+, Sr2+, Ca2+) Derived from Molecular Precursors and Doped with Eu3+ Ions

The effect of alkaline earth metal alkoxides on the protonation of zirconocene dichloride was investigated. This approach enabled the design of compounds with preset molecular structures for generating high‐purity binary metal oxide perovskites MZrO₃ (M=Ba²⁺, Sr²⁺, Ca²⁺). Single‐source molecular precursors [Ba₄Zr₂(μ₆‐O)(μ₃,η²‐OR)₈(OR)₂(η²‐HOR)₂(HOR)₂Cl₄], [Sr₄Zr₂(μ₆‐O)(μ₃,η²‐OR)₈(OR)₂(HOR)₄Cl₄], [Ca₄Zr₂(μ₆‐O)(μ₃,η²‐OR)₈(OR)₂Cl₄], and [Ca₆Zr₂(μ₂,η²‐OR)₁₂(μ‐Cl)₂(η²‐HOR)₄Cl₆] ? 8 CH₂Cl₂ were prepared via elimination of the cyclopentadienyl ring from Cp₂ZrCl₂ as CpH in the presence of M(OR)₂ and alcohol ROH (ROH=CH₃OCH₂CH₂OH) as a source of protons. The resulting complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, IR and NMR spectroscopy, and single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. The compounds were then thermally decomposed to MCl₂/MZrO₃ mixtures. Leaching of MCl₂ from the raw powder with deionized water produced highly pure perovskite‐like oxide particles of 40–80 nm in size. Luminescence studies on Eu³⁺‐doped MZrO₃ revealed that the perovskites are attractive host lattices for potential applications in display technology.

Effects of Divalent Metal Ions on Electrochemiluminescence Sensor with Ru(bpy)32+ Immobilized in Eastman‐AQ Membrane

Different effects of divalent metal ions on electrochemiluminescence (ECL) sensor with Ru(bpy)₃²⁺ immobilized in Eastman‐AQ membrane were investigated. Mg²⁺, Ca²⁺ and Fe²⁺ can elevate the ECL of Ru(bpy)₃²⁺/proline; while metal ions that underwent redox reactions on the electrode such as Mn²⁺ and Co²⁺ presented intensive quenching effects on Ru(bpy)₃²⁺ ECL. Also, the quenching effect of Mn²⁺ on the ECL sensor with Ru(bpy)₃²⁺ immobilized in Eastman‐AQ membrane enhanced to about 30‐folds compared with the case that Ru(bpy)₃²⁺ was dissolved in phosphate buffer, and the enhanced quenching effects of Mn²⁺ were studied.
