Nitro derivatives of <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-alkylbenzoaza-15-crown-5: synthesis,structures, and complexation with metal and ammonium cations

A number of N-alkylnitrobenzoaza-15-crown-5 with the macrocycle N atom conjugated with the benzene ring were obtained. The structural and complexing properties of these compounds were compared with those of model nitrobenzo- and N-(4-nitrophenyl)aza-15-crown-5 using X-ray diffraction, ¹H NMR spectroscopy, and DFT calculations. The macrocyclic N atom of benzoazacrown ethers are characterized by a considerable contribution of the sp3-hybridized state and a pronounced pyramidal geometry; the crownlike conformation of the macrocycle is preorganized for cation binding, which facilitates complexation. The stability constants of the complexes of crown ethers with the NH₄ ⁺, EtNH₃ ⁺, Na⁺, K⁺, Ca²⁺, and Ba²⁺ ions were determined by 1H NMR titration in MeCN-d₃. The most stable complexes were obtained with alkaline-earth metal cations, which is due to the higher charge density at these cations. The characteristics of the complexing ability of N-alkylnitrobenzoaza-15-crown-5 toward alkaline earth metal cations are comparable with analogous characteristics of nitrobenzo-15-crown-5 and are much better than those of N-(4-nitrophenyl)aza-15-crown-5.     

Solvent extraction of silver picrate by 3m-crown-m ethers (m = 5, 6) and its mono-benzo-derivative from water into benzene or chloroform: elucidation of an extraction equilibrium using component equilibrium constants

Ion-pair formation constant (K_AgPic in mol⁻¹ dm³) of silver picrate (AgPic), those (K_AgLPic) of its ion-pair complexes (AgLPic) with crown ethers (L) and complex formation constants (K_AgL) of Ag⁺ with L (15-crown-5 ether (15C5) and benzo-15C5) in water (w) were determined potentiometrically at 25 °C. Compounds used as L were 18-crown-6 ether (18C6), its benzo-derivative (B18C6) and the two 15C5 derivatives. Extraction constants (K_ex in mol⁻¹ dm³) of AgPic with L (15C5, 18C6, B18C6) from acidic w-phases into either C₆H₆ or CHCl₃ were recalculated from K_AgPic, K_AgL, K_AgLPic and data opened in previous papers. Thus obtained K_ex was divided into five component equilibrium constants containing K_AgL and K_AgLPic anew. Then, contributions of the component constants, K_AgL, K_AgLPic and distribution constants of AgLPic between the w- and C₆H₆-phases, to K_ex were discussed and compared with corresponding extraction systems of NaPic and KPic with18C6.

Solvent extraction of sodium perrhenate by 3m-crown-m ethers (m = 5, 6) and their mono-benzo-derivatives into 1,2-dichloroethane: Elucidation of an overall extraction equilibrium based on component equilibria containing an ion-pair formation in water

Equilibrium constants () for the ion-pair formation of a complex ion NaL⁺ with ReO₄⁻ in water were determined potentiometrically at 25 °C and the ionic strength (I) of 0 mol dm⁻³ using a Na⁺-selective electrode. Here, crown ethers, L, were 15-crown-5 ether (15C5), benzo-15C5, 18-crown-6 ether (18C6) and benzo-18C6. Also, NaReO₄ was extracted by the L into 1,2-dichloroethane and then extraction constants (K_ex/mol⁻² dm⁶) for the species, NaLReO₄, were determined at 25 °C by AAS. These K_ex values were resolved into four component equilibrium constants containing K_MLA calculated at given I values. Based on these data, extraction-abilities of the L against the perrhenate were discussed in comparison with those of sodium picrate-L systems reported previously.     

Extraction of barium picrate into nitrobenzene in the presence of benzo-15-crown-5

From extraction experiments with ¹³³Ba as a tracer, the extraction constant corresponding to the equilibrium Ba²⁺(aq) + 2A^-(aq) + 2L(nb) BaL₂ ²⁺(nb) + 2A^-(nb) in the two-phase water-nitrobenzene system (A^- = picrate, L = benzo-15-crown-5; aq = aqueous phase, nb = nitrobenzene phase) was evaluated as log K _ex (BaL₂ ²⁺, 2A^-) = 5.7.

Liquid-liquid extraction of copper(I) by cyclic tetrathio ethers

The liquid-liquid extraction of copper(I) with 12-, 13-, 15- and 16-membered cyclic tetrathio ethers ([n]aneS₄, where n represents the total number of carbon and sulphur atoms in the cyclic ligand ring) was examined stoichiometrically using picrate ion (Pic^?) for the formation of the ion pair. Copper(I) was extracted with four ligands (L) into 1,2-dichloroethane as the ion-pair compound, [Cu(I)L]⁺Pic^?. The extraction constant, K_ex, with each ligand was determined. As the ring size of cyclic tetrathio ethers increases, the log K_ex values, including that previously reported for [14]aneS₄, increase from 7.7 to 9.4. The value of Δ log K_ex, which represents the increase in log K_ex due to the addition of one carbon atom to the macrocyclic ring, was large between [13]aneS₄ and [14]aneS₄ (Δ log K_ex=1.0) and small between [14]aneS₄ and [15]aneS₄ (Δ log K_ex=0.1).     

DFT calculation of benzoazacrown ethers and their complexes with calcium perchlorate

The complexation constants of several azacrown ethers with Ca(ClO₄)₂ were determined and turned out to be the higher, the large the macrocycle. The structures of free ligands and their complexes and the complexation energies were calculated by the DFT method. In the aza-12(15)-crown-4(5) ether complexes with Ca(ClO₄)₂, the metal cations lie outside the averaged plane of heteroatoms of the macrocycle, and the coordination of both counterions is V-like. In the complexes of aza-18-crown-6 ethers, the counterions are in the axial position relatively to the macrocycle in the center of which the Ca²⁺ ion is localized. The complexation energies increase with an increase in the size of the azacrown ether macrocycle. The involvement of the nitrogen atom in binding with the Ca²⁺ ion decreases with the expansion of the macrocycle. Two methods for quantitative estimation of the degree of pre-organization of ligands to complexation were considered: geometric and energetic methods. Benzoaza-15-crown-5 ether is a ligand which is more pre-organized to complexation than N-phenylaza-15-crown-5 ether.     

Cation effect on anion separations by aza-crown ligands in liquid membranes

New carriers have been prepared based on the aza-18-crown-6 structure to facilitate membrane transport of ions. One of these incorporates four aza-18-crown-6 molecules bonded to a resorcinarene ring. The other, aza-18-crown-6 bonded to an undecyl chain, was studied as a monomeric analog. These carriers have been included in dichloromethane bulk liquid membranes (BLMs) to assess cation influence on competitive transport among anions (ReO₄⁻, NO₃⁻, ClO₄⁻). ReO₄⁻ was investigated as a non-radioactive analog of the pertechnetate anion, which is of interest in nuclear waste separations. The permeability values and selectivity for ReO₄⁻ and ClO₄⁻ were the greatest when neutral source and receiving phases were used with K⁺ as the co-transported cation. The carriers also showed selectivity for ReO₄⁻ and ClO₄⁻ over NO₃⁻ with K⁺ and Na⁺ as the co-transported cations using neutral and basic aqueous phase solutions. It was also found that some cations inhibit anion transport.     

Extraction of Alkali Metal (Li, Na, K) Picrates with Benzo-15-crown-5 into Various Organic Solvents. Elucidation of Fundamental Equilibria Determining the Extraction-ability and -selectivity

To quantitatively elucidate the effects of the benzo group on the extraction-selectively and -ability of benzo-15-crown-5 (B15C5)for alkali metal ions, the constants of the overall extraction (K_ex), thedistribution for various diluents having low dielectric constants (K_D,MLA), and the aqueousion-pair formation (K_MLA) of B15C5-alkali metal (Li, Na, K) picrate 1:1:1 complexes (MLA) weredetermined at 25 °C. The partition constants of B15C5were also measured at 25 °C. The log K_MLA values for Li⁺, Na⁺, and K⁺ are -0.32 ± 0.22, 2.66 ± 0.19, and 0.71 ± 0.47, respectively. In going from 15-crown-5 (15C5) to B15C5, the benzo group considerably decreasesthe K_MLA value for the same alkali metal ion. The distributionbehavior of B15C5 and its 1:1:1 complexes with the alkali metal picrates closely obeys regularsolution theory, omitting chloroform. Molar volumes and solubility parameters of B15C5and the 1:1:1 complexes were determined. For every diluent, the K_ex valuefor B15C5 increases in the order Li⁺ < K⁺ < Na⁺. K_D,MLA makes anunfavorable contribution to the Na⁺ extraction-selectivity of B15C5 because of the smallest molar volume of the Na(B15C5)A complex. The Na⁺ extraction-selectivity of B15C5 is determined completely by much the highest K_Na(B15C5)A value.The extraction-ability and -selectivity of B15C5 for the alkali metal picrates are compared with those of 15C5on the basis of the underlying equilibrium constants.     

Redox responsive crown ethers containing a direct link between the ferrocene redox-active centre and benzo crown ether. Crystal structure of a ferrocene benzo-15-crown-5 sodium complex

The binding of Na⁺, K⁺ and Mg²⁺ to benzo-15-crown-5 and aza-15-crown-5 directly-linked ferrocenes results in shifts of the ferrocene oxidation wave to more positive potentials. The magnitude of these anodic shifts is related to the charge/radius ratio of the cationic guest. The results of an X-ray diffraction study of the structure of a ferrocene benzo-15-crown-5 sodium complex are also reported.     

Extraction-ability and -selectivity of tetra-aza-crown ethers for transition metal cations

In order to investigate the relative effects of the differences between the structures and lipophilicities of 1, 10-dioxa-4, 7, 13, 16-tetra-azacyclo-octadecane (TA-18-crown-6) and the tetrabenzyl derivative of 1,10-dioxa-4, 7, 13, 16-tetra-azacyclo-octadecane (TBTA-18-crown-6) on their extraction-abilities and -selectivities for transition metal cations, constants of the overall extraction (logK _ex) of 1:1 (M:L) complexes, the distribution (K _D) for two diluents (CH₂Cl₂ and CHCl₃) with different dielectric constants have been determined at 25 ± 0.1 °C. The magnitude of logK _ex is largely determined by that of K _D. The equilibrium constants of TA-18-crown-6 have been compared with those of TBTA-18-crown-6. It is found that:(i) logK _ex sequences of TA-18-crown-6 and TBTA-18-crown-6 for transition metals in CH₂Cl₂ lie in order: Fe³⁺ > Cu²⁺ > Mn²⁺ > Co²⁺ > Cd²⁺ > Ni²⁺ > Zn²⁺ and Fe³⁺ > Cu²⁺ > Co²⁺ > Mn²⁺ > Ni²⁺ > Cd²⁺ > Zn²⁺ respectively; (ii) the stability sequences of two types of tetra-aza-crown ethers with the transition metal cations in CHCl₃ are the same as follows: Fe³⁺ > Ni²⁺ > Cu²⁺ > Co²⁺ > Zn²⁺ > Cd²⁺ > Mn²⁺, and (iii) unusual selectivities are observed for transition metal-tetra-aza-crowns, e.g. the high Fe³⁺/M ⁿ⁺ selectivity factors (S_f) of TA-18-crown-6, except for the competitive-extractions for the special case in CHCl₃ of TBTA-18-crown-6, it was found that the Mn²⁺/M ⁿ⁺ values were relatively higher according to the other transition metal cations. A systematic sequence in these two types of solvents is not found for a given transition metal cation in terms of the variation of selectivity with the tetra-aza-crown ethers. The results provide alternatives for the rational design of other specific ligands on the transition metal cations.     

Extraktion von alkali- und erdalkalimetallionen mit (sym-dibenzo-14-krone-4-oxy)- und (sym-dibenzo-16-krone-5-oxy)-carbonsäuren

(Extraction of alkali on alkaline earth metal ions with (sym-dibenzo-14-crown-4-oxy)- and (sym-dibenzo-16-crown-5-oxy)-carboxylic acids.)The extraction of lithium, sodium, potassium, calcium and some other metal ions with dibenzo-4-crown-4-oxy- and dibenzo-16-crown-5-oxycarboxylic acids containing the groups -CH₂COOH, -(CH₂)₂COOH, -(CH₂)₃COOH, -CH(C₂H₅)COOH and -CH(C₄H₉)COOH was studied. The extraction increases as a function of the lipophilic character of the carboxylic acid group. Calcium, barium and strontium ions are better extracted than Li⁺, Na⁺ and K⁺; there are only small differences among the alkaline earth metal ions. Evaluated from the extraction data, the composition of the extracted species was 1:1 (metal/ligand) for Li⁺, and 1:2 for CaCa²⁺; Na⁺ and K⁺ favour the formation of 1:2 complexes with dibenzo-14-crown-4-derivatives bbut 1:1 complexes with dibenzo-16-crown-5-oxy-carboxylic acids. The dependence of the distribution ratio on pH does not provide unequivocal evidence for the composition of the extracted compounds.     

Tetrakis(isothiocyanato)manganese(II) bis[aqua(18-crown-6)potassium] (18-crown-6)(thiocyanato)potassium

A new complex compound, i.e., tetrakis(isothiocyanato)manganese(II) bis[aqua(18-crown-6)potassium] (18-crown-6)(thiocyanato)potassium, was synthesized and its crystal structure was studied by X-ray diffraction (space group P2₁/m, a = 13.377, b = 14.690, c = 17.499 Å, β = 108.96°, Z = 2) and refined by the least-squares method in anisotropic approximation to R = 0.060 for 4715 independent reflections (CAD-4 automated diffractometer, λMoK _α). In the crystal, infinite chains are formed through the coordination bonds between its components. The monomer fragment of a chain [Mn(NCS)₅K₃(18-crown-6)₃(H₂O)₂] lies in plane m; three of the five SCN^? ligands and one of the two water molecules behave as bridges. The [Mn(NCS)₄]^2? anion has the tetrahedral structure. The coordination polyhedron of each of the three K⁺ cations is a distorted hexagonal bipyramid with six O atom of the corresponding crown ligand in a base. Three 18-crown-6 ligands have standard crown conformation.     

Effects of Solvent Composition and Temperature on K+–18-Crown-6 Complexation in Acetonitrile–Water Mixed Solvents

Complexation of K⁺ by 18-crown-6 ether (18C6) in pure water and in acetonitrile–water mixed solvents containing 0.1 mol-dm^{? 3} (C₂H₅)₄NCl has been systematically studied by isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) at 293, 298, and 303 K. The formation constant K of the 1:1 [K(18C6)]⁺ complex and the complexation enthalpy Δ _rH were simultaneously determined from the titration data. The logK and Δ _rH(kJ-mol^{? 1}) values at 298 K are 2.04, ?26.2 in pure water and 2.23, ?25.0; 2.61, ?24.2; 2.95, ?23.8; 3.48, ?21.0; 3.85, ?19.4; 4.36, ?18.7; and 5.73, ?17.0 in the mixed solvents at x _AN (mole fraction of acetonitrile) of 0.043, 0.135, 0.258, 0.448, 0.578, 0.759, and 1.0, respectively. The change in heat capacity for the complex formation, Δ C _p °, was also determined by the temperature dependence of Δ _rH. Whereas the Δ C _p ° is (57 ± 11) and (63 ± 20) J-mol^{? 1}-K^{? 1} in pure water and in the solvent mixture at x _AN = 0.043, respectively, it decreases with increasing x _AN. The Δ C _p ° values are ?(48 ± 11), ?(110 ± 25), ?(354 ± 40), ?(359 ± 24), and ?(304 ± 30) J-mol^{? 1}-K^{? 1} at x _AN = 0.135, 0.258, 0.448, 0.578, and 0.759, respectively. The changes in complexation thermodynamics (Δ Δ _rG, Δ Δ_rH, and Δ Δ _r S) are discussed in terms of the corresponding transfer thermodynamics of K⁺, 18-crown-6, and [K(18C6)]⁺ upon transferring from water to acetonitrile–water mixed solvents. It was found that hydrophobic solvation of the complex [K(18C6)]⁺ plays an important role in complex formation occurring in water and in the water-rich mixed solvent. Moreover, changes in solvent structure significantly affect the transfer enthalpy and entropy of each species, i.e., K⁺, 18-crown-6, and [K(18C6)]⁺. The observed monotonous changes in the complexation Gibbs energy, enthalpy, and entropy with solvent composition are due to the effective compensation of the Δ _trG, Δ _trH, and Δ _tr S for K⁺ with those for 18-crown-6 and [K(18C6)]⁺.     

Spectkophotometric determination of the dissociation constants of n,n'-bis(3-hydroxypropyl)dithiooxamide and n,n'-bis(2-hydroxypropyl)dithiooxamide

The dissociation constants of N,N'-bis(3-hydroxypropyl)dithiooxamide and N,N'-bis(2-hydroxypropyl)dithiooxamide were determined by a spectrophotometric method using a weighted least squares technique for the calculations.

For N,N'-bis-(2-hydroxypropyl) dithiooxamide, these values were respectively: pK₁^T = 11.11; pK₁ = 10.99 and pK₂ = 13.75.     

An Improved Synthesis of 1, 4-Dithiaspiro [4.5] Decan-8-One (Cyclohexane-1, 4-Dione Monothioacetal)

Abstract

Recent experiments have shown that monobasic chromophoric crown ethers have very selective extraction behavior making them useful as analytical organic reagents.^(1–6) The chromogenic crown ethers are synthesized by reacting a chromophore like picryl chloride to an aminobenzo crown ether. One such compound 2″4″-dinitro-6-trifluoromethylphenyl-4′-aminobenzo-15-crown-5 (1) exhibits linear response to K⁺ from 700-5ppm in the presence of 3000ppm Na⁺.     

Thermodynamics of the second-stage dissociation of n-(2-acetamido)iminodiacetic acid in water from 5 to 55°c

The thermodynamic second dissociation constants of the protonated form of N-(2-acetamido)iminodiacetic acid were determined at 12 temperatures from 5–55°C by measurement of the electromotive force using a cell without liquid junction, with hydrogen and silver—silver bromide electrodes. At 25°C, pK₂is 6.844. The standard changes in Gibbs energy, enthalpy, entropy and heat capacity were derived from the change of the pK₂ values with temperature. At 25°C, ΔG° = 9335 cal mol^-1, ΔH° = 2928 cal mol^-1, ΔS^o = -21.5 cal K^-1 mol^-1, and ΔC°_p = -34 cal K^-1 mol^-1. The results are interpreted and compared with those of structurally related compounds.
