Comparisons are made with the acid dissociation constants of the analogous compounds EDTA, ENTMP and HDTA, and possible structural formulae are given.     

Metal chelates of phosphonate-containing ligands-V Stability of some 1-hydroxyethane-1,1-diphosphonic acid metal chelates

A detailed study of the complexes formed between 1-hydroxyethane-1,1-diphosphonic acid and twelve metal ions, including the alkaline earth and transition non-transition metal ions, is reported. The formation constants of the protonated and unprotonated complexes are measured from potentiometric data and possible structural formulae are given. The results reveal that only mononuclear (1:1) di-, mono- and unprotonated metal chelates are formed and that the general order of stability for the unprotonated complexes is Zn > Mn > Ca > Cu > Cd > Pd > Ni > Co reverse similar Sr > Mg > Ag > Ba.     

Metal chelates of phosphonate-containing ligands-II: stability constants of some beta-styrylphosphonic acid metal chelates

The synthesis and properties of beta-styrylphosphonic acid (SPA) are reported. The values of the protonation constants of the ligand were determined potentiometrically at different ionic strengths and in the temperature range 0-65 degrees. The enthalpy and entropy of protonation have been calculated by using the van't Hoff isochore. The protonation process is endothermic and is stabilized by a relatively large positive entropy change. The stability constants of the complexes formed between SPA and the bivalent Mg, Ca, Ba, Co, Ni and Pd ions at 25 degrees and ionic strength of 0.12M KNO(3) were also determined. All measurements were carried out in 18% dimethylformamide-water mixture.     

Synthesis and structures of monomeric magnesium, calcium, strontium, and barium amides involving the N,N-(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)(trimethylsilyl)amido ligand

An extended family of aryl-substituted alkaline earth metal silylamides M{N(2,4,6-Me3C6H2)(SiMe3)}donor(n) was prepared using alkane elimination (Mg), salt elimination (Ca, Sr, Ba), and direct metalation (Sr, Ba). Three different donors, THF, TMEDA (TMEDA = N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethylenediamine), and PMDTA (PMDTA = N,N,N',N',N'-pentamethyldiethylenetriamine) were employed to study their influence on the coordination chemistry of the target compounds, producing monomeric species with the composition M{N(2,4,6-Me3C6H2)(SiMe3)}2(THF)2 (M = Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba), M{N(2,4,6-Me3C6H2)(SiMe3)}2TMEDA (M = Ca, Ba), and M{N(2,4,6-Me3C6H2)(SiMe3)}2PMDTA (M = Sr, Ba). For the heavier metal analogues, varying degrees of agostic interactions are completing the coordination sphere of the metals. Compounds were characterized using IR and NMR spectroscopy in addition to X-ray crystallography.     

Organic acid solutions in the chromatography of inorganic ions. VII. Cation exchange of Mg(II), Ca(II), Sr(II), Ba(II), Mn(II), Cd(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Zn(II), Cu(II) and Fe(III) in succinate media

Summary The cation-exchange behaviour of Mg(II), Ca(II), Sr(II), Ba(II), Mn(II), Cd(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Zn(II), Cu(II) and Fe(III) in succinate media at various concentrations and pH, was studied with Dowex 50 WX8 resin (200–400 mesh) in the NH ₄ ⁺ form. As examples separations of Cd(II)/Co(II), Cd (II)/Ni(II), Fe(III)/Cu(II)/Ni(II) and Mg(II)/Ca(II)/Sr(II)/Ba(II) have been achieved.This work was supported by C.N.R. of Italy.     

Enhancement and quenching of fluorescence of metal chelates of 8-hydroxyquinoline-5-sulfonic acid

Fluorescence enhancement of 8-hydroxyquinoline-5-sulfonic acid complexes of Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, Al, Zn and Cd were studied in micellar and hydroorganic solvents. Al is extraordinarily amenable to both types of fluorescence enhancement, an order of magnitude to two order of magnitude enhancement of fluorescence intensity has been observed with aqueous hexadecyltrimethylammonium chloride (HTAC) and certain mixed aqueous-organic solvents. Fe(III) appears to be an unusually powerful fluorescence quencher in these systems — the effect is noticeable in low micromolar concentrations and is greatly amplified by cationic surfactants such as HTAC.     

The thermal dissociation of some metal cupferrate chelates

The thermal dissociation of the cupferron complexes with Cu(II), Ni, Co(II), Zn, Cd, Mn(II), Hg(II), Mg, Ca, Ba, Sr, Al, Fe(III). Ce(III), La, and Nd was studied by differential thermal analysis (DTA) and by pyrolysis into a mass spectrometer. The DTA curves consisted mainly of endothermic peaks although some contained exothermic peaks as well. The mass spectrometer showed that cupferron decomposes slightly above room temperature, giving off N₂, NO, N₂O, NH₃ and H₂O. A mechanism for the thermal dissociation of the coppcr(II) cupferrate is proposed.     

Spectrophotometric and potentiometric study of the complexes originated by the trisodium salt of 2-(p-sulfophenylazo)-1,8-dihydroxynaphthalene-3,6-disulfonic acid (SPADNS) and several metal ions

A study of the complexes originated by U(VI), Cu(II), Pb(II), Ni(II), Co(II), Zn(II), Cd(II), Mn(II), Ca(II), Mg(II), Ba(II), and Sr(II), and SPADNS (trisodium salt of 2-(p-sulfophenylazo)-1, 8-dihydroxynaphthalene-3,6-disulfonic acid) has been made by means of spectrophotometric and potentiometric methods. The dissociation constants of the ligand and the formation constants of the metal ion-SPADNS complexes have been determined at 25 ± 0.1 °C and ionic strength 0.1 (NaClO₄).

The extraction of 32 metals (Be, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, Sc, La, Ti, Zr, Th, V, Nb, Cr, Mo, W, U, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Pd, Cu, Ag, Zn, Cd, Hg, Al, Ga, In, Tl, Pb and Bi) with oxine solution has been studied. The effects of pH, oxine concentration and water-soluble complexing agents (oxalic acid, tartaric acid, hydrocyanic acid, nitrilotriacetic acid, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and 1,2-diaminocyclohexanetetraacetic acid) have been investigated. From these results the extraction constants and stability constants ot the metal complexes with the various complexing agents investigated have been calculated.     

Primary Fragmentation Pathways of Gas Phase [M(Uracil−H)(Uracil)]+ Complexes (M=Zn,Cu, Ni,Co, Fe,Mn, Cd,Pd , Mg,Ca, Sr,Ba, and Pb): Loss of Uracil versus HNCO

Complexes formed between metal dications, the conjugate base of uracil, and uracil are investigated by sustained off‐resonance irradiation collision‐induced dissociation (SORI‐CID) in a Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (FTICR) mass spectrometer. Positive‐ion electrospray spectra show that [M(Ura?H)(Ura)]⁺ (M=Zn, Cu, Ni, Co, Fe, Mn, Cd, Pd, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, or Pb) is the most abundant ion even at low concentrations of uracil. SORI‐CID experiments show that the main primary decomposition pathway for all [M(Ura?H)(Ura)]⁺, except where M=Ca, Sr, Ba, or Pb, is the loss of HNCO. Under the same SORI‐CID conditions, when M is Ca, Sr, Ba, or Pb, [M(Ura?H)(Ura)]⁺ are shown to lose a molecule of uracil. Similar results were observed under infrared multiple‐photon dissociation excitation conditions, except that [Ca(Ura?H)(Ura)]⁺ was found to lose HNCO as the primary fragmentation product. The binding energies between neutral uracil and [M(Ura?H)]⁺ (M=Zn, Cu, Ni, Fe, Cd, Pd ,Mg, Ca, Sr Ba, or Pb) are calculated by means of electronic‐structure calculations. The differences in the uracil binding energies between complexes which lose uracil and those which lose HNCO are consistent with the experimentally observed differences in fragmentation pathways. A size dependence in the binding energies suggests that the interaction between uracil and [M(Ura?H)]⁺ is ion–dipole complexation and the experimental evidence presented supports this.

Metal chelates of phosphonate-containing ligands-III Analytical applications of N,N,N',N'-ethylenediaminetetra(methylenephosphonic) acid

N,N*,N',N'-Ethylenediaminetetra(methylenephosphonic) acid is used as a titrant for the direct determination of Cu, Co and Ni, with murexide as indicator. Indirect titrimetric procedures are suggested for the determination of silver, mercury, zinc and cyanide and both direct and indirect methods are applied for the analysis of binary mixtures of silver (or mercury) and copper (cobalt or nickel). The stoichiometry of the reaction, interferences of some metal ions and the pH effects on the complexation reactions are discussed. The values of the equilibrium constants of the protonated CuH(n)L (n = 1, 2, 3 and 4) as well as the unprotonated CuL chelates have been measured.     

Analytical application of embelin

Summary Embelin is reported as a new reagent for gravimetric estimation of (1) uranium in pure solutions at p_H 6.0–6.5 and (2) thorium in acid solutions of 0.4 N HCl. In both cases, the precipitates were ignited and weighed as U₃O₈ and ThO₂. The separation of thorium from large excess of uranium and rare earths could also be effected employing this reagent. In addition, Cu, Cd, Ca, Ba, Sr, Al, Be, Mn, Mg and Zn do not interfere.

Hydration energies and structures of alkaline earth metal ions, M2+(H2O)n, n = 5-7, M = Mg, Ca, Sr, and Ba

The evaporation of water from hydrated alkaline earth metal ions, produced by electrospray ionization, was studied in a Fourier transform mass spectrometer. Zero-pressure-limit dissociation rate constants for loss of a single water molecule from the hydrated divalent metal ions, M(2+)(H(2)O)(n) (M = Mg, Ca, and Sr for n = 5-7, and M = Ba for n = 4-7), are measured as a function of temperature using blackbody infrared radiative dissociation. From these values, zero-pressure-limit Arrhenius parameters are obtained. By modeling the dissociation kinetics using a master equation formalism, threshold dissociation energies (E(o)) are determined. These reactions should have a negligible reverse activation barrier; therefore, E(o) values should be approximately equal to the binding energy or hydration enthalpy at 0 K. For the hepta- and hexahydrated ions at low temperature, binding energies follow the trend expected on the basis of ionic radii: Mg > Ca > Sr > Ba. For the hexahydrated ions at high temperature, binding energies follow the order Ca > Mg > Sr > Ba. The same order is observed for the pentahydrated ions. Collisional dissociation experiments on the tetrahydrated species result in relative dissociation rates that directly correlate with the size of the metals. These results indicate the presence of two isomers for hexahydrated magnesium ions: a low-temperature isomer in which the six water molecules are located in the first solvation shell, and a high-temperature isomer with the most likely structure corresponding to four water molecules in the inner shell and two water molecules in the second shell. These results also indicate that the pentahydrated magnesium ions have a structure with four water molecules in the first solvation shell and one in the outer shell. The dissociation kinetics for the hexa- and pentahydrated clusters of Ca(2+), Sr(2+), and Ba(2+) are consistent with structures in which all the water molecules are located in the first solvation shell.     

Mononuclear transition and non-transition complexes of amlodipine besylate as antihypertensive agent: synthesis,spectral, thermal,and antimicrobial studies

Mononuclear Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Zn(II), Cd(II), Mg(II), Sr(II), Ba(II), Ca(II), Pt(IV), Au(III), and Pd(II) complexes of the drug amlodipine besylate (HL) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, spectroscopic technique (IR, UV–Vis, solid reflectance, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, and ¹H-NMR) and magnetic measurements. The elemental analyses of the complexes are confirmed by the stoichiometry of the types [M(HL)(X)₂(H₂O)]·nH₂O [M = Mn(II), Co(II), Zn(II), Ni(II), Mg(II), Sr(II), Ba(II), and Ca(II); X = Cl^? or NO₃ ^?], [Cd(HL)(H₂O)]Cl₂, [Pd(HL)₂]Cl₂, [Pt(L)₂]Cl₂, and [Au(L)₂]Cl, respectively. Infrared data revealed that the amlodipine besylate drug ligand chelated as monobasic tridentate through NH₂, oxygen (ether), and OH of besylate groups in Mn(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Zn(II), Cd(II), Mg(II), Sr(II), Ba(II), Ca(II), and Au(III) complexes, but in Pt(IV) and Pd(II) complexes, the amlodipine besylate coordinates via NH₂ and OH (besylate) groups. An octahedral geometry is proposed for all complexes except for the Cd(II), Pt(IV), and Pd(II) complexes. The amlodipine besylate free ligand and the transition and non-transition complexes showed antibacterial activity towards some Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and the fungi (Aspergillus flavus and Candida albicans).     

AAS multielement analysis of strontium and barium salts after preconcentration by precipitation of the matrix as nitrates

A method is described for the preconcentration and AAS-determination of trace elements such as Ag, Al, Au, Bi, Ca, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Ga, Hg, In, K, Mg, Mn, Na, Ni, Pd, Tl and Zn in high-purity strontium and barium nitrate and chloride. For that purpose the main constituents Sr or Ba are precipitated as nitrates by simple evaporation of the diluted nitric acid sample solutions. The solubility of Sr and Ba nitrate in the resulting concentrated HNO₃ is so small that the preconcentrated traces can be determined without interference from the matrix using the “injection method” in the flame AAS determination. For most of the investigated elements the recovery is about 95% (Hg ～ 50%, Cr ～ 80%); the relative standard deviation (N = 10, trace contents of the sample 0.2…5 ppm) in general is about 0.05. The detection limits (3σ, N = 25) were found to be between 1 and 0.01 ppm depending on the AAS sensitivity of the elements.     

Capillary electrophoretic study of interactions of metal ions with crown ethers,a sulfated beta-cyclodextrin,and zwitterionic buffers present as additives in the background electrolyte

Stability constants of K, Na, Ca, and Ba with 18-crown-6, K, Na, Li with sulfated beta-cyclodextrin and K, Li, Ca, Mg, Sr, and Ba ions with ([2-hydroxy-1,1-bis(hydroxymethyl) ethyl]-amino)-1-propanesulfonic acid (TAPS) were determined by capillary electrophoresis and computed using a general least squares minimizing program CELET. The results for 18-crown-6 agreed well with those evaluated by graphical methods or reported in the literature. Previously unknown stability constants of sulfated beta-cyclodextrins and TAPS determined for alkali and alkaline earth metals show that sulfated beta-cyclodextrin interacts with monovalent metals allowing to manipulate their effective mobility. It interacts stronger with divalent metal cations. TAPS, as zwitterionic buffer widely used in various analytical, biochemical and other applications, forms complexes with alkali and alkaline earth cations, and although the stability constants are rather low, the equilibria should be taken into account when TAPS is used and metal cations are present in solution at the same time.
