Thermodynamic study of solvent extraction of monovalent metal picrates with benzo-18-crown-6 into chloroform

Thermodynamic parameters (H _ex ⁰ and S _ex ⁰ ) for the overall extractions of monovalent metal (Na, K, Rb, and Tl) picrates with benzo-18-crown-6 (B18C6), and those (H _D,L ⁰ and S _D,L ⁰ ) for the distribution of B18C6 were determined between chloroform and water. All the extracted B18C6 complexes were l:1:1 complexes (B18C6:metal ion: picrate anion). The H _ex ⁰ and S _ex ⁰ values for all the metals are negative. Every extraction of the metal picrate with B18C6 is completely enthalpy driven. The H _D,L ⁰ and S _D,L ⁰ values of B18C6 are both positive, and the partition of B18C6 is entirely entropy driven. Enthalpy (H _ex,ip ⁰ ) and entropy changes (S _ex,ip ⁰ ) for ion-pair extractions of B18C6-metal ion complexes with picrate anions were calculated. All the H _ex,ip ⁰ and S _ex,ip ⁰ values are negative, and the ion-pair extractions are completely enthalpy driven.     

Complexation of uranium(VI) by salicylate and substituted salicylates: A kinetic study

Summary Kinetic studies on the complexation of uranium(VI) by salicylate and various substituted salicylates have been carried out using the stopped-flow spectrophotometric technique at pH 7.0–8.5 (NH₄OH+NH₄NO₃ buffer). Results are in conformity with a mechanism involving binding of UO₂OH⁺ species through the carboxylate group of the salicylate to form an inner-sphere species in a fast equilibrium (equilibrium constant=K) followed by a slow rate-determining ring closure (rate constant=k) involving loss of a molecule of water between the OH group bound to uranium(VI) and the phenolic group of the salicylate. The value of the equilibrium constant (K) obtained from the kinetic data in the case of 5-sulphosalicylate (log K=3.21 at 25 °C, I=1 M) is compatible with the literature thermodynamic value (log K = 3.89 at 25 °C, I=0.015 M). Increase in pH retards the reaction due to the equilibrium, UO₂OH⁺ + OH^– UO₂(OH)₂, the UO₂(OH)₂ being unreactive. The average value of K (log K=8.58 at 25°C, I=1M) obtained kinetically from the results of investigation with different ligands is also in good agreement with the literature thermodynamic value (log K= 8.8 at 25°C, I=0.1M). Both K and k are sensitive to the nature of the substituent in the benzene ring, decreasing with increasing acidity of the -CO₂H group of the salicyclic acid; the substituent effect is well demonstrated by the plot of log kversus _L (where ), which is linear. H^# and S^# values corresponding to k have been evaluated in each case. S^# values are all negative in conformity with ring closure in the rate-determining step.     

Zum Reaktionsverhalten von Imidazolin-Δ3-thionen-(5)

Zusammenfassung Imidazolin-³-thione-(5) sind zyklische Thioamide, die auch als Thiolimide (5-Mercapto-2H-imidazole) reagieren können. Die Reaktionsmöglichkeiten des exozyklisch gebundenen S-Atoms werden am Beispiel des 2-Methyl1-2,4-diphenyl-imidazolin-³-thion-(5) demonstriert. Vom Thiolimid-Tautomeren leiten sich Cd- und Cu-Salze, S-Alkyl- und S-Acylderivate sowie das Bis-[2H-imidazol-5-yl]-disulfid ab. Aus dem Thioamid entsteht mit H₂O₂ in Methanol das S-Oxid, das sich durch Acetylierung und nachfolgende Hydrolyse in das Disulfid überführen läßt. In höherer Ausbeute entsteht das Disulfid direkt aus dem Imidazolin-³-thion-(5) durch Behandeln mitAc ₂O und H₂O₂ in Gegenwart von Pyridin. Disulfid oder Imidazolin-³-thion-(5) ergeben mit SO₂Cl₂ 5-Chlor-2H-imidazol, welches mit Aminen zu 5-Amino-2H-imidazolen ungesetzt werden kann. Aus der reduktiven Entschwefelung von Imidazolin-³-thion mit LiAlH₄ resultieren unter Ringöffnung Gemische zweier isomerer Diamine.

³-Imidazoline-5-thiones are cyclic thioamides which can react also as thiol imides (5-mercapto-2H-imidazoles). The reactions of the exocyclic S atom are demonstrated with 2-methyl-2.4-diphenyl-³-imidazoline-5-thione.Derivatives of the tautomer thiolimide are cadmium and copper salts, S-alkyl and S-acyl derivatives and the bis-[2H-imidazol-5-yl]-disulphide. Oxidation of the thioamide in methanolic solution with H₂O₂ gives the corresponding disulphide. Better yields of the disulphide are obtained when ³-imidazoline-5-thione is treated simultaneously withAc ₂O, H₂O₂ and pyridine. Reaction of the disulphide or of the ³-imidazoline-5-thione with SO₂Cl₂ gives 5-chloro-2H-imidazole, which can be converted to 5-amino-2H-imidazoles with amines. Desulphurization of the ³-imidazoline-5-thione under reducing conditions (LiAlH₄) causes ring opening to yield a mixture of two isomeric diamines.

NMR Study of Non-freezing Water in Protein-Modified Carbon Adsorbents

Temperature dependences of ¹H NMR spin–spin relaxation were studied for the non-freezing water at the surface of carbon matrices modified with proteins (human serum albumin (HSA) and mouse immunoglobulin (MIG)) in the presence of water-soluble carbodiimide. The entropy, S , and enthalpy, H , values characterizing molecular mobility in non-freezing water were estimated. The compensation effect was observed for all modified samples, which is well approximated by the linear dependence of the type H = T ₀S + H ₀. The compensation temperature T ₀ = 231 ± 33 corresponds to such a state of non-freezing water, when the effect of modifying additives on the isobaric potential of molecular mobility activation in the non-freezing water, G , is minimal. The G has approximately constant value equal to H ₀ = 24.2 ± 0.5 kJ/mol. Modification of the base carbon matrix with MIG protein results in higher structurization of the non-freezing water, whereas HSA reduces this structurization. The observed effects are explained in terms of the hydration of modifying agents and also by the peculiarities of their location on the surface of carbon adsorbent.     

Effect of acid-base equilibria of reactants and the effect of waterorganic mixtures on the kinetics of oxidation of cysteinsulphenatobis(ethylenediamine)cobalt(III) ion by periodate

Summary The kinetics of oxidation of cysteinsulphenatobis(ethylenediamine)cobalt(III) ion by periodate were investigated in mixtures containing up to 40%t-BuOH andi-PrOH. The effect of acid-base equilibria on the rate constants and activation parameters H, S and the effect ionic strength on the rate constant at different concentrations HClO₄ are also reported. The solvent effects on the oxidation at the different pH are interpreted in terms of solvation of the initial and transition states.     

Spectrochemistry of solutions,part 23. Changes of enthalpy and entropy in the formation of contact ion pairs: A vibrational spectroscopic appraisal using thiocyanate and azide solutions

Summary The vibrational spectra of solutions have been analyzed to assess both qualitatively and quantitatively the changes in enthalpy and entropy for ion pair formation in solutions of LiNCS, Mg(NCS)₂, and LiN₃ in liquid ammonia, dimethylformamide, dimethylsulphoxide and acetonitrile. Contrary to predictions both the H _ass and S _ass terms are all positive in the cases examined, indicating that the driving force in the ion association process derives from solvent-solute restructuring, and not the energy of the interaction between the cation and anion. This characteristic of contact ion pair formation is likely to be found to be applicable over a wide range of solvents. The following specific values of the thermodynamic parameters at 298 K have been obtained: LiNCS/DMF, G=–1.3 (1) kJ mol^–1, H _ass =+1.8 (5) kJ mol^–, S _ass =+10 (2) J mol^–1 K^–1; LiNCS/DMSO, G=+0.9 (2) kJ mol^–1, H _ass =+0.3 (3) kJ mol^–1; Mg(NCS)₂/DMF, G _ass =–4.0 (3) kJ mol^–1, H _ass =+15 (4) kJ mol^–1, S=+64 (17) kJ mol^–1; LiN₃/DMSO, G _ass =–2.5 (3) kJ mol^–1, H _ass =+4.9 (9) kJ mol^–1, S _ass =+25 (10) J K^–1 mol^–1.Submitted to celebrate the 70th Birthday of Professor Viktor Gutmann, and in recognition of his considerable contributions towards the better understanding of Chemistry in the Solution Phase     

Komplexe von Cu(II), Zn(II), Ni(II) und Mn(II) mit N-m-Tolyl-p-methylbenzhydroxamsäure

The thermodynamic proton ligand and metal ligand stability constants of N-m-tolyl-p-methylbenzohydroxamic acid with Cu(II), Zn(II), Ni(II), and Mn(II) have been determined at 25° and 35° in several dioxane-water media. The pK _a and logK ₁ (logK ₂ or log ₂) varies linearly with the mole fraction of dioxane at a given temperature but not linearly with the reciprocal of dielectric constants of the medium. Values of G ^o, H ^o, and S ^o are tubulated. The stabilities of the complexes mostly follow the order of electron affinities of the metal ions. An attempt has been made to calculate the ligand field stabilization energy of the complexes.

Studies on lanthanon(III) complexes ofN-methylisatin-β-amidinohydrazone

Summary The consecutive formation constants of 11 and 21 chelate species made by interaction ofN-methylisatin--amidinohydrazone (-MIAG) with tripositive lanthanons were determined potentiometrically at different ionic strengths (0.02, 0.05, 0.1 and 0.2 M NaClO₄) and at different temperatures (30, 40, 45 and 50 °C) in 50% v/v dioxan-H₂O. The formation constants log _n (calculated by a weighted least-squares method) for the complexes have been found to increase with the atomic number of the lanthanon, with a break at gadolinium. Thermodynamic parameters G, H and S of these complexation reactions were also evaluated.     

Determination of enthalpy of ionization of water from 250 to 350° C

The enthalpy changes at zero ionic strength (H°) for the ionization of water (H₂O=H⁺+OH^–) were determined by flow calorimetry from the heats of mixing of aqueous NaOH and HCl solutions in the temperature range 250 to 350°C. Pitzer ion-interaction models developed by other workers were used to calculate enthalpies of dilution of aqueous NaOH, HCl, and NaCl solutions for the extrapolation of H values from the conditions of the experiment to infinite dilution. Equations are derived for thermodynamic quantities (log K, H°, S°, C _p ^° and V°) for the ionization of water using the H° values determined in this study from 250 to 350°C and literature log K and H° values from 0 to 225°C. Smoothed values of log K, H°, S°, C _p ^° , and V° are presented at rounded temperatures from 0 to 350°C and at the saturation pressure of water for each temperature. The equations in the present study provide a better representation of experimental thermodynamic data from 0 to 350°C than the Marshall-Franck equation.     

Ligand-structure effect on electrochemical reduction of copper(II) complexes

Summary Half-wave potentials for a one-electron reduction of copper(II) complexes containing polydentate ligands can be calculated using the equationE _1/2=E ⁰(Cu^2+/+)+ _{i j} E _i where E _i are contributions related to the electronic and steric properties of the ligands. The values of 18 E _i contributions are presented and explained, and the effect of the solvents on the half-wave potentials is exemplified.Dedicated to Prof. Dr. Viktor Gutmann to his 70th birthday     

Synergic extraction of Eu(III) and Tb(III) by 2-thenoyltrifluoroacetone and tribenzylamine

Synergic extraction of Eu(III) and Tb(III) with 2-thenoyltrifluoroacetone (HTTA) and tribenzylamine (TBA) as neutral donor ligand has been studied in chloroform from perchlorate media at lower pH range. The stoichiometric composition of the adduct was established as M(TTA)₃ · 3TBA for both the elements, having a coordination number 9. The formation constants K_3,0 and K_3,3 and stability constant _3,3 of the organic phase reaction have been calculated. The effect of temperature on the extraction has also been studied. The adducts are stabilized by the large exothermic enthalpy change. The calculated thermodynamic functions such as H, S and G were used to elucidate the mechanism of synergism in which the coordination numbers of the lanthanide ions increased.     

Heat of fusion and specific volume of poly(ethylene terephthalate) and poly(butylene terephthalate

Summary Concerning the relation between the experimental heat of fusion H* and the specific volumev of PETP a considerable uncertainty exists in literature. For PBTP obviously no data have been reported. The present paper reports H* andv measurements for undrawn PETP and PBTP samples which have been crystallized from the glassy state or from the melt at different temperatures for different periods of time.For PETP a linear relation is obtained: H* = 1411–1886v (Jg^–1). Published values for the specific volumev _c of the PETP crystal range from 0.660 to 0.687 cm³g^–1. Ifv _c = 0.660 cm³g^–1 is accepted, a heat of fusion M _m = 166 Jg^–1 is obtained for the PETP crystal.For PBTP also a linear relation is found: H* = 1296–1628v (Jg^–1). Withv _c = 0.71 cm³g^–1 one obtains H _M = 140 Jg^–1 as the heat of fusion of the PBTP crystal. The specific volumev _a of amorphous PBTP (H* = 0) is 0.796 cm³g^–1 which is much higher than the hitherto used values of 0.781–0.782 cm³g^–1. The reason for this difference is thatv _a cannot directly be measured, because the low quasi-static glass temperature of 15 °C enables quenched PBTP to undergo cold crystallization at 20 °C.

Zusammenfassung Hinsichtlich des Zusammenhangs zwischen experimenteller Schmelzwärme H* und spezifischem Volumenv von PETP bestehen in der Literatur beträchtliche Diskrepanzen. Für PBTP wurden bislang offensichtlich keine Ergebnisse veröffentlicht. In der vorliegenden Arbeit werden Messungen von H* undv für unverstreckte PETP- und PBTP-Proben mitgeteilt, die unterschiedlich lange bei ver-schiedenen Temperaturen aus dem Glaszustand oder aus der Schmelze kristallisiert wurden.Für PETP ergibt sich die lineare Beziehung: H* = 1411–1886v (Jg^–1). Literaturwerte für das spezifische Volumenv _c des PETP-Kristalls schwanken zwischen 0.660 und 0.687 cm³g^–1. Nimmt manv _c = 0.660 cm³g^–1 als richtig an, so erhält man als Schmelzwärme des PETP-Kristalls H _M = 166 Jg^–1 = 32 kJ mole^–1.Auch für PBTP erhält man eine lineare Abhängigkeit: H* = 1296–1628v. Mitv _c = 0.71 cm³g^–1 ergibt sich als Schmelzwärme des PBTP-Kristalls H _M = 140 Jg^–1 = 31 kJ mole^–1. Das spezifische Volumen des amorphen PBTP beträgt _a = 0.796 cm³g^–1 und ist erheblich größer als der bisher angenommene Wert von 0.781 cm³g^–1. Die Ursache fÜr diese Diskrepanz liegt darin begündet, daßv _a nicht direkt gemessen werden kann, weil wegen der niedrigen quasi-statischen Glastemperatur von 15°C bei abgeschrecktem PBTP die Kaltkristallisation bei 20°C bereits einsetzt.

The Influence of 4f Orbital Excitation in Eu(Fod)3 on Complexation with Sulfones in Benzene Solutions

Complexation of sulfones (S) with the -diketonate Eu(Fod)₃ (Fod–heptafluorodimethyloctanedione) in the ground and excited electronic states in benzene solutions was studied. The stability constants and thermodynamic parameters for the formation of complexes Eu(Fod)₃ · S in the ground state (K, H ₀, S ₀) and Eu(Fod)₃ ^* · S in the excited state (K*, H ₀ ^*, S ₀ ^*) were determined. The excitation of f–f transitions of Eu(III) was found to enhance the stability of Eu(Fod)₃ · S complexes, apparently due to an increase in the acceptor ability of the Eu(III) chelate. This fact confirms the involvement of the 4f orbital in the chemical bond formation. The compensation effect was observed for the thermodynamic parameters: S ₀ = (2.9 ± 0.3) × 10^–3H ₀ + (35.0 ± 4.0) in the ground and S ₀ ^* = (3.3 ± 0.3) × 10^–3H ₀ ^* + (49.0 ± 5.0) in the excited states of Eu(Fod)₃. It was shown that electronic excitation of the 4f orbital of Eu(Fod)₃ influences isotopic effects in complexation with sulfolanes.     

Complex formation constants and thermodynamic parameters for La(III) and Y(III)L-serine complexes

Kinetics of the solvolysis oftrans-dichlorotetra-(4-t-butylpyridine)-cobalt(III) ions in water +t-butyl alcohol mixtures

Rates of solvolysis of the complex cation [Co(4tBupy)₄Cl₂]⁺ have been determined in mixtures of water with the hydrophobic solvent, t-butyl alcohol. The solvent composition at which the extremum is found in the variation of the enthalpy H^* and the entropy S^* of activation correlates well with the extremum in the variation of the relative partial molar volume of t-butyl alcohol in the mixture and the straight line found for the variation of H^* with S^* is coincident with the same plot for water + 2-propanol mixtures. A free energy cycle is applied to the process initial state (C ⁿ⁺) going to the transition state [M⁽ⁿ⁺¹⁾⁺...Cl^–] in water and in the mixture using free energies of transfer of the individual ionic species, G _t ^o (i), from water into the mixture. Values for G _t ^o (i) are derived from the solvent sorting method and from the TATB/TPTB method: using data from either method, changes in solvent structure on going from water into the mixture are found to stabilize the cation in the transition state, M⁽ⁿ⁺¹⁾⁺, more than in the initial state, C ⁿ⁺. This is compared with the application of the free energy cycle to the solvolysis of complexes [Co(Rpy)₄Cl₂]⁺ and [Coen₂LCl]⁺ in mixtures of water with methanol, 2-propanol or t-butyl alcohol: the above conclusion regarding the relative stabilization of the cations holds for all these complexes in their solvolyses in water+alcohol mixtures using values of G _t ^o (Cl^–) from either source.     

Solubilities in aqueous mixtures oft-butanol andtrans-dichlorotetra(3-alkylpyridine) cobalt(III) hexachlororhenate(IV): Gibbs energies of transfer of the complex cations

The solubilities of the hexachlororhenate(IV) salts of the complex cations trans-[Co(3Mepy)₄Cl₂]⁺ and trans-[Co(3Etpy)₄Cl₂]⁺ have been determined in water+t-butyl alcohol mixtures. By reference to the solubilities of Cs₂ReCl₆ and the Gibbs energies of transfer of Cs⁺ from water into water+t-butyl alcohol mixtures, G _t ^o (Cs⁺), G _t ^o [Co(3Mepy)₄Cl ₂ ⁺ ] and G _t ^o [Co(3Etpy)₄Cl ₂ ⁺ ] are calculated. These latter values, when introduced into the equation for a free energy cycle applied to the process of the initial state going to the transition state for the solvolyses of these two cations, produces values for G _t ^o [Co(3Mepy)₄Cl^2+*] and G _t ^o [Co(3Etpy)₄Cl^2+*] for the Co³⁺ cations in the transition state. These values are compared with (G _t ^o (i) for i=[Co(Rpy)₄Cl₂]⁺, [Co(Rpy)₄Cl]^2+*, [Coen₂XCl]⁺ and [Coen₂X]^2+* to investigate the influence of the hydrophobicity of the surface of the complex on its stability in the mixtures. G _t ^o (i) (solvent sorting) are compared with G _t ^o (i) (TATB).     

Chromium(VI), chromium(V) and chromium(IV) oxidation of 12-tungstocobaltate(II)

The reaction between Cr^VI and 12-tungstocobaltate(II) was carried out in 2.0 mol dm^–3 HCl and followed a simple second order rate law. The reaction was catalysed by hydrogen ion due to the formation of active H₂CrO₄ and was inhibited by chloride ion as, in its presence, conversion of the active species into inactive chlorochromate occurs. Chromium(V) and chromium(IV) were generated in situ by the use of Cr^VI—V^IV or Cr^VI—2-ethyl-2-hydroxybutyric acid and Cr^VI—i-PrOH reactions respectively, and the oxidation of 12-tungstocobaltate(II) by these atypical oxidation states, was also studied. The rate constants for the oxidation of 12-tungstocobaltate(II) by Cr^VI, Cr^V and Cr^IV were found to be in the ratio 1:1.2:5.2 respectively. The ionic strength did not affect the reaction, while decrease in the solvent polarity increased the rate of the reaction. The activation parameters were also determined and the values H , G and S were found to be 52.4 ± 6 kJ mol^–1, 100.8 ± 7 kJ mol^–1, –151.7 ± 10 J K^–1 mol^–1 respectively, supporting the mechanism proposed.     

The influence of solvent structure on the solvolysis oftrans-dichlorotetra (4-ethylpyridine) cobalt(III) perchlorate

Summary The solvolysis oftrans-[Co(4-Etpy)₄Cl₂]ClO₄, was followed spectrophotometrically in water/isopropanol at different temperatures. The activation energy varied nonlinearly with the mole fraction of the co-solvent, ₂. The plot of logk versus D _s ^–1 was also non-linear. These features were attributed to the differential solvation of the initial and transition states. On plotting H versus S, the points fall very close to straight line. The isokinetic temperature was found to be 334K, indicating that the solvolysis reaction is controlled by S and not H. The change in H and S with the mole fraction of the cosolvent shows extrema at the composition range where changes in solvent structure occur. The influence of the solvent structure on the complex ion in the transition state dominates over that in the initial state, where –G _t ⁰ [Co(4-Etpy)₄Cl]²⁺>–G _t ⁰ [Co(4-Etpy)₄Cl₂]⁺.     

Temperature Dependence of the Ratios of C—H (C—D) Bond Breaking Rates in Reactions of Cycloalkanes C5H10, C6H12, C6D12 with Adamantyl Carbocations in Sulfuric Acid

We have determined the differences in the parameters log A and E of the Arrhenius equations for the kinetic isotope effect (KIE) (c-C₆H₁₂/c-C₆D₁₂) and the 5/6 effect (c-C₅H₁₀/c-C₆H₁₂) in reactions of the C—H bonds of cycloalkanes with adamantyl (Ad⁺) carbocations (1-adamantanol in 92.8% H₂SO₄, 40-97 °C). We have established the compensation relations between log A and E for the kinetic isotope effect and the 5/6 effect for anthracene (AH⁺), hydroxymethyl (CH₂OH⁺), Ad⁺ carbocations and the hypothetical "infinitely strong reagent," supporting a hydride transfer mechanism in such reactions.     

Thermodynamics of Proton Association of Polyacrylates and Polymethacrylates in NaCl(aq)

Enthalpies of protonation of polyacrylates and polymethacrylates with different molecular weights in aqueous NaCl solutions, 0 I 2 mol-L^–1 were determined by titration calorimetry at 25°C. H values are dependent on both the neutralization degree, , and the molecular weight of polyacids. T S of protonation was obtained using pK values already reported and the present H results. Empirical equations for the dependence on I, , and molecular weight are reported for both H and T S.
