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-I Stability of some N,N,N',N'-ethylenediaminetetra(methylenephosphonic) acid metal chelates

A potentiometric investigation of the acid dissociation constants of the octabasic ENTMP [N,N,N',N'-ethylenediaminetetra(methylenephosphonic) acid] is reported. The stability constants of protonated MH(n)L (n = 1, 2, 3 and 4) and unprotonated ML metal chelates of Mg, Ca, Ba and Cd with ENTMP have been measured. The stabilities are in the order Mg < Ca < Ba < Cd.     

The stability constants of some metal chelates of triethylenetetraminehexaacetic acid (ttha)

Stability constants for Al(III), Cd(II), Co(II), Cu(II), Fe(III), Hg(II), La(III), Nd(III), Er(III), Mg(II). Mn(II), Ni(II), Pb(II), Th(IV) and Zn(II) complexes of triethylenetetraminehexaacetic acid (TTHA) have been evaluated from data obtained by pH and pM measurements. The pM method based on measurements with the mercury electrode and the redox system Fe(III)/Fe(II) proved to be very useful when binuclear complexes are formed.     

Metal chelates of phosphonate-containing ligands-IV (Stability of some 1,6-hexamethylenediamine-N,N,N',N'-tetra(methylenephosphonic) acid metal chelates)

The stability constants of the complexes formed between the anion of 1,6-hexamethylenediamine-N,N,N',N'-tetra(methylenephosphonic) acid and some transition and non-transition metal ions have been measured potentiometrically at a temperature of 25 degrees and an ionic strength of 0.1M (KNO(3)). The acid dissociation constants of the ligand and stability constants of the protonated complexes are also reported. 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: VII. Analytical applications of 1-hydroxyethane-1,1-diphosphonic acid

The polarographic behavior of copper, lead, antimony, and zinc ions in the presence of the title ligand, HEDP, is discussed. In highly alkaline solutions, the reversible wave of copper splits into two components, reversible and irreversible, the first of which is attributed to the reduction of the free cupric ions and the second wave was assigned to the reduction of the copper phosphonate species. The polarograms of zinc and antimony showed the presence of a single irreversible wave. In the case of lead, a quasi-reversible wave is observed. Cobalt and nickel forms inactive phosphonate chelates as inferred from the suppression of the wave heights with increasing of both the concentration of the ligand and the pH of the medium. In the presence of sufficiently excess HEDP buffered to pH 11.8, mixtures of the six elements showed the presence of four reasonably separated waves at half-wave potential values ?0.51, ?0.83, ?1.17, and ?1.55 V vs SCE corresponding to the reductions of copper, lead, antimony, and zinc complexes, respectively. The possibility of the individual and simultaneous analysis of these elements in their ternary mixtures with cobalt and nickel is discussed.     

Thermal properties of some metal chelates of di-isobutyldithiocarbamic acid

The thermal properties of some metal chelates of di-isobutyldithiocarbamic acid have been investigated in an inert atmosphere, with a view to applying them to gas chromatographic separation. In spite of the slight decomposition occurring during volatilization, most of the metal chelates may be successfully separated by gaschromatography on short nonpolar glass capillary or fused silica columns. There is no clear correlation between the gaschromatographic behaviour and the thermal stability of the metal chelates studied here.

Zusammenfassung Die thermischen Eigenschaften einiger Metallchelate der Di-isobutyl-dithiocarbaminsäure wurden in einer inerten Atmosphäre hinsichtlich der Möglichkeiten ihrer gaschromatographischen Trennung untersucht. Trotz der während der Verflüchtigung eintretenden geringfügigen Zersetzung kann der grösste Teil der Metallchelate durch Gaschromatographie erfolgreich in kurzen nichtpolaren Glaskapillarkolonnen oder in mit geschmolzenem SiO₂ bedeckten Kolonnen getrennt werden. Es besteht keine eindeutige Korrelation zwischen dem gaschromatographischen Verhalten und der thermischen Stabilität der untersuchten Metallchelate.

Metal bridge effect: V. Quantum chemical studies of some metal chelates

Metal chelates [(C₂H₂X₂)₂M]ⁿ with ligating atoms X = NH, O, S and central atoms M = Be²⁺, Mg²⁺, Ni²⁺, Zn²⁺ (n = 0, ± 2), and M = Li⁺, Cu⁺ (n = ± 1, ?3), have been studied in our Laboratory for some years by ab initio calculations. In this article it is shown that certain features of the complexes are the same for all the different metals in our series. These features include a drastic reduction of the energy gap between unoccupied and occupied orbitals, when electrons are added to the positively charged complexes. This change of the energy gap is shown to be an effect of the ligand dimer [(C₂H₂X₂)₂]ⁿ. But this dimer can only exist when a positive ion, e.g., a metal ion, forms a bridge between the two monomers. The reduced energy gap implies a strong bathochromic shift of the electronic spectrum and low electrical resistivity.     

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.     

Thermal studies of some divalent metal chelates of croconic acid

The thermal properties of chelates of croconic acid and squaric acid with divalent copper, cobalt, nickel and zinc have been investigated by TG and DTA. The decreasing order of thermal stability for the decomposition of the croconate chelates was Ni > > Zn > Co=Cu and for the squarate complexes, Zn > Co=Cu > Ni. The copper croconate TG showed water loss in two distinct steps. This was rationalized on the basis of the already known Jahn-Teller effect for this molecule. The nickel squarate was thought to have a different structure than the other squarate chelates. Activation energies were calculated for the croconate chelates from their DTA curves.

Zusammenfassung Die thermischen Eigenschaften der Chelate der Crocon- und Squarsäure mit zweiwertigem Kupfer, Cobalt, Nickel und Zink wurden durch TG und DTA untersucht. Die Abnahme der thermischen Stabilität bei der Zersetzung der Croconat-Chelate verlief von Ni>Zn>Co=Cu und der Squarat-Komplexe von Zn>Co=Cu>Ni. Die TG der Kupfercroconate wies eine Wasserabgabe in zwei deutlichen Stufen auf. Diese erklärt sich aufgrund des bereits bekannten Jahn-Teller Effekts für dieses Molekül. Für Nickelsquarat wurde eine andere Struktur angenommen als für die anderen Squaratkomplexe. Die Aktivierungsenergien für die Croconatchelate wurden aus ihren DTA-Kurven berechnet.

Résumé Les propriétés thermiques des chélates formés par les acides croconique et squarique avec le cuivre, le cobalt, le nickel et le zinc ont été étudiées par TG et ATD. La stabilité thermique des chélates de l'acide croconique décroît dans l'ordre Ni>Zn>Co=Cu et pour l'acide squarique Zn>Co=Cu>Ni. L'étude TG du croconate de cuivre révèle une perte d'eau en deux étapes distinctes. Ceci s'explique par l'effet Jahn-Teller, déjà connu pour cette molécule. Le squarate de nickel possède sans dute une structure différente de celle des autres chélates de l'acide squarique. Les énergies d'activation des chélates de l'acide croconiqus ont été calculées à partir des courbes ATD.

The thermal properties of some metal complexes of diethyldithiocarbamic acid new volatile metal chelates

The cobalt(II), nickel(II), copper(II), zinc(II), cadmium(II), silver(I) and mercury(II) complexes of diethyldithiocarbamic acid were prepared and their thermal properties determined by TG, DTA, and high temperature reflectance spectroscopy. It was found that the copper(II), nickel(II), and zinc(II) chelates were completely volatile and thus represent a new class of volatile metal chelates. Vapor pressure measurements were made on four of the metal complexes; heats of vaporization ranged from 9.3±0.2 kcal/mole for Na[Co(DDC)₃] to 24.2±0.6 kcal/mole for Zn(DDC)₂.

Man fand, daß die Kupfer(II)-, Nickel(II)- und Zink(II)-Komplexe vollständig verflüchtigen. Sie stellen eine neue Sorte flüchtiger Metallchelate dar.

Composition and stability constants of iron- and copper-oxytetracycline chelates

Summary The composition and stability constants of iron and copper oxytetracycline chelates are determined by spectrophotometric and pH-metric methods. The stepwise stability constants are log ₁ 9.79, log ₂ 7.08, log ₃ 5.92 and log ₁ 7.28 and log ₂ 5.29 for iron and copper chelates, respectively. The thermodynamic parameters of these reactions and the site of chelation in oxytetracycline are also investigated. The reaction of iron(III) has been used for the spectrophotometric determination of oxytetracycline in some pharmaceutical preparations. Results with a coefficient of variation in the range of 1.6% and a mean recovery of 98.6% are obtained.

Stability constants of some bivalent first row transition metal chelates of dicarboxylic acids containing ether linkages

The stability constants of the Mn(2+), Fe(2+), Co(2+), Ni(2+), Cu(2+) and Zn(2+) complexes with four acids of the type HOOCCH(2)O(CH(2)CH(2)O)(n) CH(2)COOH (n = 0-3) are reported. For n = 0 the constants are in the Irving-Williams order, but not for n = 1-3.     

Photoacoustic spectra of some biological metal chelates

Photoacoustic spectra of Ni2+ in three new chelates containing azolo-2,4 pentanedione derivatives have been recorded and analysed in the visible region. The approximate symmetry of Ni2+ has been found to be octahedral. The d-d transitions in the red region show some similarity with those of nickel chloride and nickel acetate. In each case two charge-transfer bands appear in the violet region.     

Thermal analysis of some metal n-benzoyl-n-phenylhydroxylamine chelates

The preparation and thermal analysis of the metal chelates of N-benzoyl-N-phenylhydroxylamine (BPHA) with Al(III), Cd(II), Co(II), Cr(III), Cu(II), Fe(III), Mn(II), Ni(II) and Zn(II) is discussed. The differential thermal analysis apparatus is described in detail. DTA and TGA curves of BPHA arid the chelates from 25 to 700° in oxygen and in nitrogen are presented.     

Fractional sublimation of some metal chelates of thenoyltrifluoroacetone

Studies on the fractional sublimation of various metal β-diketone chelates have been extended to include the chelates of thenoyltrifluoroacetone (TTA). Many of the common metal chelates were found to be stable, to sublime readily, and to form well-defined zones in the vacuum fractional sublimator. Of the 17 chelates reported only those of manganese (II) and iron(II) were not volatile. The chelates of UO₂(II), Zr(IV), Pb(II), and Cr(III) partially decomposed during sublimation and their recovery was incomplete. The recovery of the sublimed chelates of Ni(II), Mg(II), Al(III), Pd(II), Co(II), Cu(II). Fe(III), Tl(III), Zn(II) and Be(II) ranged from 87 to 100%, with most recoveries being quantitative. The sublimation recrystallization zone temperatures of the various chelates are compared to those of the metal acetylacetonates and the benzoyltrifluoroacetonates; in general, the metal chelates of TTA sublime more readily than those of benzoyltrifluoroacetone but are potentially less useful for fractional sublimation separations than the corresponding metal acetylacetonates. Even so, a quantitative separation of iron(III) from Ni(II), Al(III), Mn(II), and Fe(II) is proposed that depends upon the fractional sublimation of the TTA chelates.     

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.     

Redox method for the determination of stability constants of some trivalent metal complexes

Stability constants determination of very stable metal complexes using the redox method, based on the equilibrium of Fe (3+)Fe (2+) followed by a couple of platinum/reference electrodes, was undertaken and tested to complexes of some trivalent metal ions with well known polyaminopolycarboxymethylated linear ligands (edta, nta, cdta, dtpa and ttha) and also to some new macrocyclic ligands. SUPERQUAD program was used for the calculations, after adaptation of the experimental data. The method proved to be very useful for Fe(3+) and In(3+) complexes, if no polynuclear complexes are formed or/and if the kinetics of the complexation reaction is not very slow. However, for the Ga(3+) complexes the applicability of this method is very limited and the competition with OH(-) using the displacement reaction which occurs at pH higher than 6 with formation of Ga(OH)(4)(-) seems to give more accurate results. A complete data of stability constants for the case of the complexes of ttha with In(3+) is given.     

The stability constants of some bivalent metal complexes of α-hydroxyisobutyrate and lactate

The stability constants of the lactate and α-hydroxyisobutyrate complexes of Mn²⁺, Co²⁺, Ni²⁺, Cu²⁺, Zn²⁺, Cd²⁺, Pb²⁺ and UO₂²⁺ were determined by potentiometric titration. The average ligand number exceeds 2, indicating the formation of ML⁺, ML₂ and ML₃^- complexes. The existence of ML₃^- complexes was confirmed by electrophoretic experiments; no polynuclear complexes were formed. α-Hydroxyisobutyrate forms stronger complexes than lactate.
