Preparation, characterisation and thermal properties of hydrazinium derivatives. Part III

Hydrazinium acetate, metavanadate, sulfite, sulphamate and thiocyanate have been prepared by the reaction of corresponding ammonium salts with hydrazine hydrate. The compounds were characterised by chemical analysis and infrared spectra. Thermal behaviour of these hydrazinium derivatives have been investigated using thermogravimetry and differential thermal analysis.     

Triaquatris(μ‐oxydiacetato)dipraseodymium(III) pentahydrate and hexaaquatris(μ‐oxydiacetato)dineodymium(III) oxydiacetic acid solvate dihydrate

Two new complexes of the Ln₂(oda)₃·nH₂O (oda =–O₂CCH₂OCH₂CO₂–) series are reported, i.e. {[Pr₂(C₄H₄O₅)₃(H₂O)₃]·5H₂O}_n and {[Nd₂(C₄H₄O₅)₃(H₂O)₆]·C₄H₆O₅·‐2H₂O}_n. The former is isostructural with the reported La analogue, while the latter is a new structural variety within the series. Each compound exhibits two independent nine‐coordinated Ln centres showing a variety of coordination geometries.     

Solid-state thermal decomposition of heterobimetallic oxalate coordination compounds, zinc(II)tetraaquatris(oxalato)lanthanate(III)hexahydrate and cadmium(II)heptaaquatris(oxalato)lanthanate(III)tetrahydrate

Two heterobimetallic oxalate coordination compounds, zinc(II)tetraaquatris(oxalato)lanthanate(III)hexahydrate (ZnOLa) and cadmium(II)heptaaquatris(oxalato)lanthanate(III)tetrahydrate (CdOLa) were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, electronic spectral and powder X-ray diffraction studies. Both the compounds were found to have monoclinic structure. Thermal decomposition studies by TG, DTG and DTA in air have proved that the aqua ligands are associated with metals in a stronger coordination mode. The temperatures for pyrolysis were adopted from the TG results chosen from the stable range of thermograms. In case of ZnOLa, it decomposes through two steps and the end product at 1000 °C was found to be consisting of mainly, La₂O_3, ZnO and La₂ZnO _x through the intermediate formation of several oxycarbonates of lanthanum at ca. 525 °C. In case of cadmium analogue, three steps decomposition were observed and the final products were confirmed as CdO₂, La₂O₃, LaCO and La₂CdO _x via the formation of several intermediates at 340 and 590 °C. The La₂C₃ and carbon are also found as part of the end product. The kinetic parameters, E ^*, lnk _o, ?H ^# and ?S ^# of all the deaquated and decomposition steps are investigated and discussed from the DSC study in nitrogen.     

Thermal decomposition behaviour of lanthanum(III) tris-tartrato lanthanate(III) decahydrate

Lanthanum(III) tris-tartrato lanthanate(III) decahydrate, La[La(C₄H₄O₆)₃]·10H₂O has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, electronic spectral and X-ray powder diffraction studies. Thermal studies (TG, DTG and DTA) in air showed a complex decomposition pattern with the generation of an anhydrous species at ~170°C. The end product was found to be mainly a mixture of La₂O₃ and carbides at ~970°C through the formation of several intermediates at different temperature. The residual product in DSC study in nitrogen at 670°C is assumed to be a similar mixture generated at 500°C in TG in air. Kinetic parameters, such as, E*, ΔH, ΔS, etc. obtained from DSC are discussed. IR and X-ray powder diffraction studies identified some of the decomposition products. The tentative mechanism for the thermal decomposition in air of the compound is proposed. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Synthesis and the thermal decomposition of iron(III) tris(oxalato) ferrate(III) tetrahydrate

The paper describes the synthesis and thermal decomposition of Fe[Fe(C₂O₄)₃]4H₂O in air. The compound is completely dehydrated at 170°C and some reduction in the inner sphere iron(III) occurs. At 290°C, a mixture of ferric oxide and ferrous oxalate is obtained. Beyond 420°C, the decomposition is complete and final residue is ferric oxide. A probable reaction mechanism is proposed.     

Synthesis, structure, and thermal properties of soluble hydrazinium germanium(IV) and tin(IV) selenide salts

The crystal structures of two hydrazinium-based germanium(IV) and tin(IV) selenide salts are determined. (N(2)H(5))(4)Ge(2)Se(6) (1) [I4(1)cd, a = 12.708(1) Angstroms, c = 21.955(2) Angstroms, Z = 8] and (N(2)H(4))(3)(N(2)H(5))(4)Sn(2)Se(6) (2) [P, a = 6.6475(6) Angstroms, b = 9.5474(9) Angstroms, c = 9.8830(10) Angstroms, alpha = 94.110(2) degrees, beta = 99.429(2) degrees, gamma = 104.141(2) degrees, Z = 1] each consist of anionic dimers of edge-sharing metal selenide tetrahedra, M(2)Se(6)(4-) (M = Ge or Sn), separated by hydrazinium cations and, for 2, additional neutral hydrazine molecules. Substantial hydrogen bonding exists among the hydrazine/hydrazinium molecules as well as between the hydrazinium cations and the selenide anions. Whereas the previously reported tin(IV) sulfide system, (N(2)H(5))(4)Sn(2)S(6), decomposes cleanly to microcrystalline SnS(2) when heated to 200 degrees C in an inert atmosphere, higher temperatures (>300 degrees C) are required to dissociate selenium from 1 and 2 for the analogous preparations of single-phase metal selenides. The metal chalcogenide salts are highly soluble in hydrazine, as well as in a variety of amines and DMSO, highlighting the potential usefulness of these compounds as precursors for the solution deposition of the corresponding metal chalcogenide films.     

Mössbauer study of the thermal decomposition of iron(III) citrate pentahydrate

The thermal decomposition of iron(III) citrate pentahydrate, Fe(C₆H₅O₇) · 5 H₂O, has been investigated at different temperatures in air using Mössbauer spectroscopy, nonisothermal techniques (DTA-TG) and X-ray diffraction. The reduction of iron(III) to iron(II) takes place at 553 K. At higher temperature the formation of -Fe₂O₃ and -Fe₂O₃ as the ultimate thermal decomposition products has been confirmed.

Synthetic,spectroscopic, thermal,and structural studies of antimony(III) bis(pyrrolidinedithiocarbamato)alkyldithiocarbonates

An account of the synthesis, spectroscopic, thermal and structural behavior of antimony(III) bis(pyrrolidinedithiocarbamato)alkyldithiocarbonates is presented. The reaction of antimony(III) bis(pyrrolidinedithiocarbamate) chloride with potassium organodithiocarbonate in equimolar ratio yielded the corresponding mixed derivatives of the type [(CH₂)₄NCS₂]₂SbS₂COR [where R = Me, Et, Pr ⁿ , Pr ⁱ , Bu ⁿ , and Bu ⁱ ]. These newly synthesized complexes have been characterized by physicochemical [molecular weight determination, melting points, and elemental analysis], spectral [UV, IR, far-IR, NMR (¹H and ¹³C)], thermal [TG, DTA, and FAB⁺ mass], and structural [powder XRD and SEM] studies. Analytical studies leads to purity and structural properties of the synthesized complexes on the other hand powder X-ray diffraction and SEM studies show that multiphase, polycrystalline, and rod-shaped complexes have been formed having nanorange crystallite size and monoclinic crystal system.     

Some reactions and spectroscopic studies of tris(pentafluorophenyl)arsenic and -antimony(III and V) derivatives

The reactions of tris(pentafluorophenyl)arsenic(III) with iodine monochloride, iodine monoazide, and dithiocyanogen yielded corresponding oxidative-addition products of the type (C₆F₅)₃As(V)XY (X=I, Y=Cl, N₃; X=Y=NCS). The elemental sulphur also added oxidatively with tris(pentafluorophenyl)arsenic(III) yielding tris(pentafluorophenyl)arsine(V) sulphide. Some displacement reactions were also carried out to synthesize mixed pseudohalide derivatives of the type (C₆F₅)₃M(N₃)NCS (M=As and Sb) and their insertion reactions were studied with phenyl isothiocyanate which yielded the corresponding 1,2-cycloaddition products, i.e. tetrazole-5-thiones. The compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductance, UV, IR and NMR spectroscopic studies.

The antifungal activity of hydrazones and their corresponding complexes were also investigated.     

Novel Mn(III) heterochelates: synthesis,thermal, spectroscopic,and coordination aspects

This article describes the synthesis, structural features, and thermal studies of novel Mn(III) heterochelates of the type [Mn(SB _n )(L)(H₂O)]·xH₂O [H₂SB _n  = Nicotinic acid [1-(3-methyl-5-oxo-1-phenyl-4,5 dihydro-1H-pyrazol-4yl)-acylidene]-hydrazide where acyl = acetyl (H₂SB₁); benzoyl (H₂SB₂); propionyl (H₂SB₃); buteryl (H₂SB₄); phenyl acetyl (H₂SB₅); and HL = 5-Chloro-7-iodo-8-hydroxyquinoline (clioquinol)]. The heterochelates have been characterized on the basis of elemental analyses, magnetic susceptibility measurements, cyclic voltammetric studies, (FTIR and electronic) spectra, and thermal studies. The FAB mass spectrum of [Mn(SB₁)(L)H₂O]·3H₂O has been carried out. The cyclic voltammetric studies reveal that quasi-reversible reduction process of Mn(III)/Mn(II) coupled system suggesting that the ligands readily destabilize higher oxidation states of metal ion. Kinetic parameters such as order of reaction (n) and the energy of activation (Ea) were calculated using Freeman–Carroll method. The pre-exponential factor (A), the activation entropy (S*), the activation enthalpy (H*), and the free energy of activation (G*) were calculated using Horowitz–Metzger equations.     

Synthesis and characterization of hydrazinium(2+) tetrafluoroborate(III)

The reaction between hydrazinium(2+) fluoride and boron trifluoride in anhydrous hydrogen fluoride yielded slightly soluble hydrazinium(2+) tetrafluoroborate. It was characterized by chemical analysis, vibrational spectra and thermal analysis. An X-ray diffraction study showed that crystals of N₂H₆(BF₄)₂ are triclinic, space group P$\text{1}$ (No. 2). There are discrete N₂H²⁺₆ and BF^?₄ units in the crystals interlinked by hydrogen bonds of the type NH…F..     

Mass spectrometric study of gas-phase thermal stability of yttrium(III) tris(dipivaloylmethanate)

The processes of thermal decomposition of yttrium(III) tris(dipivaloylmethanate) (Y(dpm)₃) vapour and its mixtures with oxygen were investigated by using the two-temperature variant of the double-chamber Knudsen cell, with mass spectrometric recording of the gasphase composition within the temperature range 150°–650°C. The threshold temperatures of the stability of the complex vapour were determined. The temperature dependence of the rate constant was obtained for the thermolysis of Y(dpm)₃ vapour, and the effective activation energy of the process was determined. Qualitative data were obtained on the influence of Cu(dpm)₂ vapour on the thermolysis of Y(dpm)₃ vapour in oxygen atmosphere.
