Synthesis and characterization of new thorium and uranium phenolate complexes

The reaction between the chelating amino bisphenole ligand (ONOO)H₂ (1) and (ONNO)H₂ (2) with an excess of NaH gives the corresponding bis-sodium salts 3 and 4 quantitatively.The salts were reacted with thorium tetrachloride at room temperature to obtain the corresponding (ONOO)ThCl₂ (5) and (ONNO)ThCl₂ (6) complexes.However, ThCl₄ and UCl₄ react with (3) at higher temperatures to give the corresponding isomorphous homoleptic complexes (ONOO)₂Th (7) and (ONOO)₂U (8).We have also synthesized and characterized a thorium salicylaldiminato complex L₃ThCl (11) , in order to study the effect of the bridged ligand on the molecular structure.     

Structural and thermal characterization of cerium, thorium and uranyl complexes of sulfasalazine

Cerium(IV), Thorium(IV) and Uranyl(II) complexes with the ammonium salt of sulfasalazine drug (H2SSZ, HL-) have been studied. The structures of the complexes were elucidated using elemental analysis, IR and mass spectroscopy and thermal analysis. The complexes were isolated in 1:1 and 1:2 (M:L) ratios. The solid monocomplexes (1:1) (M:H(2)SSZ) were isolated in the general formulae [UO2(L)(H2O)2].2H2O and [M(L)(X)z(H2O)n].yH2O (M=Ce(IV) and Th(IV) (X=NO3, z=2, n=2, y=0-3)). The biscomplexes (1:2) (M:H2SSZ) solid chelates found to have the general formulae [UO2(HL)2].2H2O and [M(L)2(H2O)2] (M=Ce(IV) and Th(IV)). The thermal decomposition of the complexes should be discussed in relation to structure, and the thermodynamic parameters of the decomposition stages were evaluated applying Coats-Redfern and Horwitz-Mitzger methods.     

Synthesis,characterization and theoretical investigations of new uranium (VI) and thorium (IV) complexes with 1-furfurylaldehyde-derived Schiff bases as ligands

The present work describes the synthesis and characterization of thorium (IV) and dioxouranium (VI) coordination compounds with three Schiff bases derived from 1-furfurylaldehyde. All coordination compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, and thermal analysis. The structural pattern, the geometry of the complexes and the coordination number of the metal ions were assigned on the basis of physico-chemical parameters, such as FTIR and UV–Vis spectra. The elemental analyses show a 1:1 stoichiometry for thorium coordinative compounds and 1:2 stoichiometry for uranyl ion, respectively. The obtained coordination compounds are stable in air, soluble in some organic solvents (DMF, acetonitrile, DMSO) and show fluorescent properties. The coordination compounds have high molar conductance that indicates their electrolytes nature. On the basis of the obtained experimental results, combined with theoretical studies, the structures of the compounds under study were proposed.     

Photoredox processes in coordination compounds

Transition metal complexes display a number of charge-transfer bands in the absorption spectra. Optical excitation of the metal complexes produces a variety of products depending upon the nature of the excited state. Cobalt (III) ammine complexes on excitation in the CTTM bands produce cobalt(II) and oxidised ligand. Ruthenium(II) complexes on excitation in the cm. band leads to the oxidation of the metal centre. In certain reactions participation of the solvent in the primary photoredox reactions has also been reported. In recent years extensive investigations have been undertaken to utilize the photoredox systems of coordination compounds to convert solar energy to electricity or hydrogen.

Preconcentration techniques for uranium(VI) and thorium(IV) prior to analytical determination-an overview

The need for the preconcentration of trace and ultratrace amounts of uranium(VI) and thorium(IV) in conjunction with various detection techniques was clearly brought out in the introductory part. Subsequently, various off-line and on-line procedures developed for uranium(VI) and thorium(IV) prior to their analytical determination since 1990 were critically reviewed in terms of enrichment factor, retention/sorption capacity, validation using certified reference materials and application to complex real samples. The relative merits and demerits of various preconcentration and/or separation of uranium(VI) and thorium(IV) prior to quantitation by a plethora of analytical techniques are discussed in concluding part of the review article.

Heterobimetallic complexes [Cu _x Zn_{1? x} (dadb)?·?yH₂O] _n {where dadb?=?2,5-diamino-3,6-dichloro-1,4-benzoquinone (1); x?=?1 (2), 0.5 (4), 0.25 (5), 0.125 (6), 0.0625 (7), and 0 (3); y?=?2; n?=?degree of polymerization} were synthesized and characterized. All metal complexes are stable at room temperature but weakly absorb moisture on exposure to air. Monometallic 2 exhibits subnormal magnetic moment whereas 3 exhibits diamagnetism. Heterobimetallic complexes exhibit normal magnetic moments. Heterobimetallic complexes are characterized from powder X-ray diffraction, thermal analysis, and electron spin resonance (ESR) spectral studies. Delocalization of unpaired electron from metal to ligand has been inferred from ESR and natural bond orbital (NBO) analysis. Greater delocalization of unpaired electron of Cu(II) on ligand of 4 as compared to that of 2 is reflected from NBO analysis. Heterobimetallic complexes show higher conductivity than monometallic complexes; all the complexes exhibit semiconductor behavior.     

Synthesis and spectroscopic characterization of new tetradentate Schiff base and its coordination compounds of NOON donor atoms and their antibacterial and antifungal activity

New Schiff base (H₂L) ligand is prepared via condensation of o-phthaldehyde and 2-aminobenzoic acid in 1:2 ratio. Metal complexes are prepared and characterized using elemental analyses, IR, solid reflectance, magnetic moment, molar conductance, ¹H NMR, ESR and thermal analysis (TGA). From the elemental analyses data, the complexes were proposed to have the general formulae [MCl(L)(H₂O)]·2H₂O (where M = Cr(III) and Fe(III)); [M(L)]·yH₂O (where M = Mn(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II), y = 1–2) and [M(L)(H₂O)_n]·yH₂O (where M = Co(II) (n = y = 2), Co(II) (n = y = 1), Ni(II) (n = 2, y = 1). The molar conductance data reveal that all the metal chelates were non-electrolytes. IR spectra show that H₂L is coordinated to the metal ions in a bi-negative tetradentate manner with NOON donor sites of the azomethine-N and carboxylate-O. The ¹H NMR spectral data indicate that the two carboxylate protons are also displaced during complexation. From the magnetic and solid reflectance spectra, it was found that the geometrical structure of these complexes are octahedral (Cr(III), Fe(III), Co(II) and Ni(II)), square planar (Cu(II)), trigonal bipyramidal (Co(II)) and tetrahedral (Mn(II), Ni(II) and Zn(II)). The thermal behaviour of these chelates showed that the hydrated complexes losses water molecules of hydration in the first step followed immediately by decomposition of the ligand molecule in the subsequent steps. The biological activity data show that the metal complexes to be more potent/antibacterial than the parent Shciff base ligand against one or more bacterial species.

Synthesis and characterization of coordination compounds of organotin(IV) with nitrogen and sulfur donor ligands

The reactions of dimethyltin dichloride with nitrogen and sulfur donor ligands derived by condensation of S‐benzyldithiocarbazate with indol‐3‐carboxylaldehyde, thiophene‐2‐aldehyde and furfuraldehyde have been investigated in 1:1 and 1:2 molar ratios in anhydrous alcohol. These ligands act as mononegatively charged bidentate species and coordinate to the central tin(IV) atom through the thiosulfur by proton exchange with the azomethine nitrogen. The newly synthesized complexes have been characterized by elemental analysis, conductance measurements and molecular weight determinations. The mode of bonding and the geometry of the complexes have been suggested on the basis of infrared, electronic and ¹H, ¹³C and ¹¹⁹Sn NMR spectroscopy, and probable structures have been assigned to these complexes. A few representative ligands and their tin(IV) complexes have also been screened for their antifungal and antibacterial activities and found to be quite active in this respect.

Determination of uranium and thorium in complex samples using chromatographic separation, ICP-MS and spectrophotometric detection

The paper describes a research of possible application of UTEVA and TRU resins and anion exchanger AMBERLITE CG-400 in nitrate form for the isolation of uranium and thorium from natural samples. The results of determination of distribution coefficient have shown that uranium and thorium bind on TRU and UTEVA resins from the solutions of nitric and hydrochloric acids, and binding strength increases proportionally to increase the concentration of acids. Uranium and thorium bind rather strongly to TRU resin from the nitric acid in concentration ranging from 0.5 to 5 mol L⁻¹, while large quantities of other ions present in the sample do not influence on the binding strength. Due to the difference in binding strength in HCl and HNO₃ respectively, uranium and thorium can be easily separated from each other on the columns filled with TRU resin. Furthermore, thorium binds to anion exchanger in nitrate form from alcohol solutions of nitric acid very strongly, while uranium does not, so they can be easily separated. Based on these results, we have created the procedures of preconcentration and separation of uranium and thorium from the soil, drinking water and seawater samples by using TRU and UTEVA resins and strong base anion exchangers in nitrate form. In one of the procedures, uranium and thorium bind directly from the samples of drinking water and seawater on the column filled with TRU resin from 0.5 mol L⁻¹ HNO₃ in a water sample. After binding, thorium is separated from uranium with 0.5 mol L⁻¹ HCl, and uranium is eluted with deionised water. By applying the described procedure, it is possible to achieve the concentration factor of over 1000 for the column filled with 1 g of resin and splashed with 2 L of the sample. Spectrophotometric determination with Arsenazo III, with this concentration factor results in detection limits below 1 μg L⁻¹ for uranium and thorium. In the second procedure, uranium and thorium are isolated from the soil samples with TRU resin, while they are separated from each other on the column filled with anion exchanger in alcohol solutions. Anion exchanger combined with alcohol solutions enables isolation of thorium from soil samples and its separation from a wide range of elements, as well as spectrophotometric determination, ICP-MS determination, and other determination techniques.     

Synthesis and crystal structures of new sodium phenolate compounds: coordination chemistry

Four new sodium complexes of phenolate and bisphenolate ligands have been synthesized and characterized by NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography to study their coordination chemistry. The monoanionic tridentate [ONN] phenolate ligand gave a dimeric compound [Na₂L₂] (2), which crystallized in the orthorhombic crystal system, where the sodium ions have four coordination environments. The dianionic tridentate [ONO] phenolate ligand gave a dimeric [Na₂(L^IH)₂] (4) compound in the tetragonal crystal system. The sodium ions Na(1) and Na(1?) are four-coordinate both having a tetrahedral geometry with the O–Na–O angle being ca. 93°, the O^N^O ligand string comprising a tridentate ligand. Interestingly, despite the steric bulk of N(SiMe₃)₂, a mixture of compounds [NaL] (2) and NaN(SiMe₃)₂ was isolated as a dimeric structure [Na₂L(N(SiMe₃)₂)]₂ (5) crystallized in the monoclinic crystal system. Na(1) is four-coordinate bonding to the phenolic oxygen atom and two N atoms of the ligand L and the N of the N(SiMe₃)₂ ligand. The coordination around Na(1) is tetrahedrally distorted square planar with the ‘cis’ angles ranging from 75.11(4) to 117.40(5)° and the ‘trans’ angles being 140.87(4) and 154.82(5)°. Na(2) is three-coordinate, bonding to the two phenolate oxygen atoms and the N atom of the N(SiMe₃)₂ ligand. Na(2), however, is not coplanar with these atoms being displaced 0.42 Å from it. The coordination chemistry for 5 is very intriguing as the sodium ions have mixed four- and three-coordination numbers, probably due to the steric hindrance of the silylamide groups.     

含硅二烃基锡(Ⅳ)邻菲咯啉配合物的合成及结构表征

1980年,Crowe等人首次报道了六配位有机锡(Ⅳ)配合物R2SnX2L2(R=烷基或苯基;X=F,C l,Br,I或NCS;L为含O或N的有机配体)对P388淋巴白血病细胞有抑制活性[1]。以后人们合成许多二烃基锡配合物,并对基作了广泛的研究[2,3]。结果表明,二烃基锡化合物的抗肿瘤活性主要取决于烃基,混合二烃基锡化合物毒性较高,使它们的应用受到一定的限制。在药物分子中,某个碳原子被硅取代,称为硅药(Sila-drug),其特点是能降低毒性,有时也能提高药效[6]。因此,开展对含硅有机锡化合物进行研究,对于探讨分子中引入硅原子后对有机锡化合物性质的影响有一定的…
