Preparation of calibration materials for microanalysis of Ti minerals by direct fusion of synthetic and natural materials: experience with LA-ICP-MS analysis of some important minor and trace elements in ilmenite and rutile

Calibration materials for microanalysis of Ti minerals have been prepared by direct fusion of synthetic and natural materials by resistance heating in high-purity graphite electrodes. Synthetic materials were FeTiO3 and TiO2 reagents doped with minor and trace elements; CRMs for ilmenite, rutile, and a Ti-rich magnetite were used as natural materials. Problems occurred during fusion of Fe2O3-rich materials, because at atmospheric pressure Fe2O3 decomposes into Fe3O4 and O2 at 1462 degrees C. An alternative fusion technique under pressure was tested, but the resulting materials were characterized by extensive segregation and development of separate phases. Fe2O3-rich materials were therefore fused below this temperature, resulting in a form of sintering, without conversion of the materials into amorphous glasses. The fused materials were studied by optical microscopy and EPMA, and tested as calibration materials by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, equipped with laser ablation for sample introduction (LA-ICP-MS). It was demonstrated that calibration curves based on materials of rutile composition, within normal analytical uncertainty, generally coincide with calibration curves based on materials of ilmenite composition. It is, therefore, concluded that LA-ICP-MS analysis of Ti minerals can with advantage be based exclusively on calibration materials prepared for rutile, thereby avoiding the special fusion problems related to oxide mixtures of ilmenite composition. It is documented that sintered materials were in good overall agreement with homogeneous glass materials, an observation that indicates that in other situations also sintered mineral concentrates might be a useful alternative for instrument calibration, e.g. as alternative to pressed powders.

Synthesis, solid-state NMR, and X-ray powder diffraction characterization of group 12 coordination polymers, including the first example of a C-mercuriated pyrazole

Cadmium and mercury acetates have been reacted with pyrazole (Hpz) and 3,5-dimethylpyrazole (Hdmpz), affording distinct mixed-ligand species, selectively prepared upon slightly modifying the reaction conditions. Two polymorphs of [{Cd(mu-ac)2(Hpz)2}n], as well as the [{Cd(mu-ac)2(Hdmpz)2}n] species (Hac = acetic acid), were obtained by solution chemistry, while the two-dimensional [{Cd3(mu3-ac)4(mu-pz)2(Hpz)2}n] and [{Cd(mu-ac)(mu-pz)}n] polymers were prepared upon controlled thermal treatment of one of the [{Cd(mu-ac)2(Hpz)2}n] forms. Two mercury derivatives, [{Hg3(mu-ac)3(mu-pz)3}n] and [{Hg(ac)(mu-dmpz)}n], were also prepared, the latter containing one-dimensional chains of Hg(II) ions bridged by C-mercuriated Hdmpz ligands. All their crystal structures (but one) were determined by powder diffraction methods using conventional X-ray laboratory equipment, supported by 13C CPMAS NMR measurements. The latter method helped in assigning a C-metalated nature to an amorphous material of [Hg(ac)(pz)] formula, obtained by employing EtOH as a solvent. A few other Hdmpz-containing cadmium acetates were also prepared, but their polyphasic nature, evidenced by diffraction methods, hampered their complete structural characterization.

Formation, structure, and reactivity of amino-terminated organic films on silicon substrates

Amino-functionalized organic films were prepared by self-assembling 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) on silicon wafers in either anhydrous toluene or phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) for varied deposition times. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and ellipsometry have shown that the structure and thickness of APTES films are governed by the deposition time and reaction solution. Deposition from an anhydrous toluene solution produces APTES films ranging from 10 to 144 A in thickness, depending on the reaction time. FTIR spectra indicate that film growth initially proceeds by adsorption of APTES to the silicon surface followed by siloxane condensation, and after an extended period of time APTES molecules accumulate on the underlying APTES film by either covalent or noncovalent interactions. In contrast, spectroscopically indistinguishable APTES films in thickness ranging from 8 to 13 A were formed when deposition was conducted in aqueous solutions. Measured water contact angles indicate that APTES films deposited in aqueous solutions are more hydrophilic compared to those prepared in toluene solutions. Fluorescence measurements revealed that APTES films prepared in toluene solutions contain more reactive surface amino groups by ca. 3 to 10 times than those prepared in aqueous solutions for the identical reaction time.     

Systematic control of size,shape, structure,and magnetic properties of uniform magnetite and maghemite particles

As an application of the gel-sol method especially developed for the synthesis of general monodisperse particles in large quantities, uniform hematite (alpha-Fe2O3), magnetite (Fe3O4), and maghemite (gamma-Fe2O3) particles, precisely controlled in size, aspect ratio, and internal structure, have been prepared. For the synthesis of uniform ellipsoidal single-crystal particles of alpha-Fe2O3, a highly condensed suspension of fine beta-FeOOH particles doped with a prescribed amount of PO4(3-) ion in their interiors was aged at 140 degrees C for 24 h with seed particles of alpha-Fe2O3 in an acidic medium containing optimum concentrations of HCl and NaNO3. Systematic control of the aspect ratio and mean size was achieved by regulating the concentration of PO4(3-) ion incorporated into the beta-FeOOH particles and the number of seeds added. The resulting hematite particles were converted into magnetite by reduction in a H2 stream at 330 degrees C for 6 h; the magnetite was then oxidized to maghemite in an air stream at 240 degrees C for 2 h. Magnetite and maghemite thus prepared retained the original shape of the hematite. On the other hand, polycrystalline hematite particles of different sizes and aspect ratios were also prepared by aging a condensed Fe(OH)3 gel in the presence of different concentrations of SO4(2-) ion and seeds. The polycrystalline hematite particles were similarly converted into magnetite and then maghemite. The magnetic properties of these magnetite and maghemite particles were analyzed as a function of their mean particle volume, aspect ratio, and internal structure.     

Syntheses of substituted-oxazolo-1,3,4-thiadiazoles, 1,3,4-oxadiazoles,and 1,2,4-triazoles

Starting from readily available methyl 5-methyloxazole-4-carboxylate ( 1 ) and 4-methyl-5-oxazolylcar-boxylic acid hydrazide ( 11 ) the title compounds were prepared. The reaction of compound 1 with hydrazine hydrate afforded the corresponding hydrazide 2 . The reaction of compound 2 with formic acid yielded 1-formyl-2-(5-methyloxazole-4-carboxyl)hydrazine ( 3 ). Refluxing of the latter with phosphorus pentasulfide in xylene gave compound 5 in 62% yield. The reaction of compound 3 with phosphorus pentoxide afforded compound 4 . Starting from hydrazide 11 , compounds 13 and 14 were prepared similarly. Reaction of compound 2 with substituted isothiocyanate yielded compound 9 which was cyclized in basic medium to 4-alkyl-5-(5-methyl-4-oxazolyl)-2,4-dihydro-3H-1,2,4-triazole-3-thione ( 10 ). The isomer 19 was prepared similarly. Methylation and subsequent oxidation of compound 19 gave compound 21 . Reaction of the acid 7 with thiosemicarbazide in the presence of phosphorus oxychloride gave 2-amino-5-(5-methyl-4-oxazolyl)1,3,4-thiadiazole ( 8 ). 2-Amino-5-(4-methyl-5-oxazolyl)-1,3,4-thiadiazole ( 17 ) was prepared from acyl chloride 15 by the usual method.     

Novel alpha,alpha-difluorohomophthalimides via copper-catalyzed tandom cross-coupling-cyclization of 2-halobenzamides with alpha,alpha-difluoro Reformatskii reagent

Novel alpha,alpha-difluorohomophthalimides 2 were prepared by reacting N-substituted 2-halobenzamides with the alpha,alpha-difluoro Reformatskii reagent BrZnCF2CO2Et (3) in the presence of CuBr at room temperature. The synthesis involves a CuBr-mediated cross-coupling of 3 with aryl iodides or activated aryl bromides, followed by a spontaneous cyclization of the ethyl 2-benzamido-alpha,alpha-difluoroacetate intermediates at room temperature. N-unsubstituted alpha,alpha-difluorohomophthalimides 2 (R' = H), bearing an acidic imide proton capable of acting as a carboxylic acid bioisostere, were also prepared by reacting 3 equiv of 3 with the parent 2-iodobenzamides. Other aryl iodides such as 3-iodo-imidazo[1,2-alpha]pyridine were also used for the tandem coupling-cyclization reaction.

3-Aryl-4-iodoisocoumarins, which were readily and efficiently prepared by regioselective iodolactonization of methyl 2-ynylbenzoates or the corresponding carboxylic acids, were used as precursors either to 3-arylisocoumarins, including naturally-occurring thunberginols A and B, or to unsymmetrical 3,4-disubstituted isocoumarins. On the other hand, (Z)- and (E)-3-iodomethylidenephthalides, which were regioselectively prepared by iodolactonization of methyl 2-ethynylbenzoate, were employed as starting materials for the stereospecific synthesis of (Z)- and (E)-3-ylidenephthalides, respectively.

7-Pyridylindoles: synthesis, structure, and properties

A series of three isomeric 7-pyridylindoles (7-PIs) are prepared where the pyridine attachment is through C2, C3, or C4. These systems are prepared by a combination of the Bartoli reaction and the Stille coupling with an appropriate pyridyl stannane. By treatment with CH(3)I, the 7-PIs can be converted to their pyridinium salts. Deprotonation at the NH of these salts leads to a zwitterion which, in the 4-pyridyl system, also exists as a neutral isomer. The photophysical and NMR properties of these systems are discussed. All three pyridylindoles are analyzed by X-ray crystallography and shown to exist in different states of aggregation dictated by the formation of intra- and intermolecular H-bonds.
