Determination of kinetic triplet of the synthesized Ni3(PO4)2·8H2O by non-isothermal and isothermal kinetic methods

The nickel phosphate octahydrate (Ni₃(PO₄)₂·8H₂O) was synthesized by a simple procedure and characterized by FTIR, TG/DTG/DTA, AAS, and XRD techniques. The morphologies of the title compound and its decomposition product were studied by the SEM method. The dehydration process of the synthesized hydrate occurred in one step over the temperature range of 120–250 °C, and the thermal decomposition product at 800 °C was found to be Ni₃(PO₄)₂. The kinetic parameters (E and A) of this step were calculated using the Ozawa–Flynn–Wall and Kissinger–Akahira–Sunose methods. The iterative methods of both equations were carried out to determine the exact values of E, which confirm the single-step mechanism of the dehydration process. The non-isothermal kinetic method was used to determine the mechanism function of the dehydration, which indicates the contracting disk mechanism of R₁ model as the most probable mechanism function and agrees well with the isothermal data. Besides, the isokinetic temperature value (T _i) was calculated from the spectroscopic data. The thermodynamic functions of the activated complex (ΔS ^≠, ΔH ^≠, and ΔG ^≠) of the dehydration process were calculated using the activated complex theory of Eyring. The kinetic parameters and thermodynamic functions of the activated complex for the dehydration process of Ni₃(PO₄)₂·8H₂O are reported for the first time.

Complexation in the Co(II)–H₆X–H₂O, Ni(II)–H₆X–H₂O, and Co(II)–Ni(II)–H₆X–H₂O systems (H₆X is nitrilotrimethylenephosphonic acid) was studied by spectrophotometry. The formation of binuclear complexonates Ni₂H₂X · 7H₂O, Co₂H₂X · 5H₂O, and NiCoH₂X · 6H₂O was demonstrated. These compounds were isolated from the solution, their composition was determined, the thermal stability was studied, and the kinetic parameters of dehydration were calculated.     

Study of kinetics and thermodynamics of the dehydration reaction of AlPO<Subscript>4</Subscript> · H<Subscript>2</Subscript>O

The kinetics and thermodynamics of the thermal dehydration of aluminum phosphate monohydrate, AlPO₄ · H₂O were studied using thermogravimetry (TG-DTG-DTA) at four heating rates in dry air atmosphere. The activation energies of the dehydration step of AlPO₄ · H₂O were calculated through the methods of Friedman (FR) and Flynn–Wall–Ozawa (FWO) and the possible conversion function has been estimated through the Achar and Li–Tang equations. The independent activation energies on extent of conversions and the better kinetic model of the dehydration reaction for AlPO₄ · H₂O indicate single kinetic mechanism and the F _2.05 model as a simple n-order reaction of “chemical process or mechanism no-invoking equation”, respectively. The positive values of ΔH^# and ΔG^# for the dehydration reaction show that it is endothermic and non-spontaneous process and it is connected with the introduction of heat. The kinetic and thermodynamic functions calculated for the dehydration reaction by different techniques and methods were found to be consistent.

An interesting series of nine new copper(II) complexes [Cu₂L₂(OAc)₂]·H₂O (1), [CuLNCS]·½H₂O (2), [CuLNO₃]·½H₂O (3), [Cu(HL)Cl₂]·H₂O (4), [Cu₂(HL)₂(SO₄)₂]·4H₂O (5), [CuLClO₄]·½H₂O (6), [CuLBr]·2H₂O (7), [CuL₂]·H₂O (8) and [CuLN₃]·CH₃OH (9) of 2-benzoylpyridine-N(4)-phenyl semicarbazone (HL) have been synthesized and physico-chemically characterized. The tridentate character of the semicarbazone is inferred from IR spectra. Based on the EPR studies, spin Hamiltonian and bonding parameters have been calculated. The g values, calculated for all the complexes in frozen DMF, indicate the presence of the unpaired electron in the d_x²-y² orbital. The structure of the compound, [Cu₂L₂(OAc)₂] (1a) has been resolved using single crystal X-ray diffraction studies. The crystal structure revealed monoclinic space group P2₁/n. The coordination geometry about the copper(II) in 1a is distorted square pyramidal with one pyridine nitrogen atom, the imino nitrogen, enolate oxygen and acetate oxygen in the basal plane, an acetate oxygen form adjacent moiety occupies the apical position, serving as a bridge to form a centrosymmetric dimeric structure.     

Crystal Structure of Monoprotonated Ni(II) Nitrilotriacetate Tetrahydrate

A Ni(II) complex of the composition Ni(HNta) · 4H₂O (I) was synthesized. Its structure was found to consist of neutral mononuclear [Ni(HNta)(H₂O)₃] complexes and crystallization water molecules. The Ni atom has octahedral surrounding and is coordinated to tridentate-chelate HNta^2– ligand through the N atom and O atoms of two deprotonated acetate groups and through the O atoms of three water molecules. The structure of I was compared with those of the Zn(HNta) · 4H₂O and Co(HNta) · 4H₂O complexes isostructural to I. Thermogravimetric method showed that the decomposition of compound I occurs through several successive stages of dehydration, deaquation, decarboxylation, and the formation of inorganic residue.     

Dehydration of synthetic and natural vivianite

Thermal analyses of synthetic and natural vivianite (Fe²⁺)₃(PO₄)₂·8H₂O) were determined using a high-resolution thermal analyser coupled to a mass spectrometer.Five dehydration weight loss steps were observed for the natural vivianite at 105, 138, 203, 272 and 437 °C. The first weight loss step involves the reaction (Fe²⁺)₃(PO₄)₂·8H₂O→(Fe²⁺)₃(PO₄)₂·3H₂O+5H₂O. The TGA/MS for the synthetic vivianite gave similar results to that of the natural sample. Mass spectrometry shows that water is lost up to 450 °C and after this temperature oxygen is lost. Changes in the structure of vivianite were followed using infrared emission spectroscopy. A model is proposed for the dehydration of vivianite.

Thermal and spectral studies of 5-(phenylazo)-2-thiohydantoin and 5-(2- hydroxyphenylazo)-2-thiohydantoin complexes of cobalt(II), nickel(II) and copper(II)

Complexes of 5-(phenylazo)-2-thiohydantoin (L¹) and 5-(2-hydroxyphenylazo)-2-thiohydantoin (HL²) with Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) salts have been synthesised and characterized by elemental analysis, conductivity, magnetic susceptibility, UV-Vis, IR, ESR and TG studies. The magnetic and spectral data suggested octahedral geometry for [L¹M(OAc)₂(H₂O)₂]·xH₂O {M=Ni^ll and Cu^ll} and [L¹CuCl₂(H₂O)]·H₂O (dimeric form for the latter), trigonal bipyramidal geometry for [L²Co(OAc)(H₂O)]·2H₂O, square pyramidal geometry for [L²Ni(OAc)(H₂O)]·H₂O and square planar geometry for [L²CuCl]·2H₂O. TG studies confirmed the chemical formulations of these complexes and showed that their thermal degradation takes place in three to five steps, depending on the type of the ligand and the geometry of the complex. The kinetic parameters (n, E^#, A, ΔH^#, ΔS^# and ΔG^#) of the thermal decomposition stages were computed using the Coats-Redfern and other standard equations and are discussed.     

Infrared evolved gas analysis during thermal investigation of lanthanum, europium and samarium carbonates

The characterisation of rare earth elements carbonates (REECs) was performed by thermal analysis (TG-DTG) combined with simultaneous infrared evolved gas analysis-Fourier transform infrared (EGA-FTIR) spectroscopy. The TG-DTG curves were obtained using the Perkin-Elmer PC series TGA-7 thermogravimetric analyser in the temperature range 25-800 °C both in dynamic air and nitrogen atmosphere.La₂(CO₃)₃·nH₂O, Eu₂(CO₃)₃·nH₂O and Sm₂(CO₃)₃·nH₂O were analysed, the dehydration and decarbonation steps were investigated and the water content was calculated. The trace rare earth elements in lanthanum, europium and samarium carbonates were determined by Philips PU 7000 inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES) and the concentration of REE ranged from 6.2×10⁻⁵ to 4.2×10⁻⁴% (w/w).     

Coordination Compounds of Cobalt, Nickel, and Copper with Isonitrosoacetone Benzoylhydrazone

Benzoylhydrazine, isonitrosoacetone react in ethanol with cobalt, nickel, copper halides andacetates to give the coordination compounds MX₂(HL) · nH₂O, MX₂(HL)₂ · nH₂O, and ML₂ · nH₂O [M = Co,Ni, Cu; X = Cl, Br; HL = C6H5C(O)NHNC(CH3)CHNOH; n = 1-4].

All the complexes have a pseudooctahedral coordination geometry. The hydrazone HL behaves as a tridentate O,N,N-donor ligand. Thermolysis of the substances involves dehydration (70-90°C), deaquation (155-170°C) or deamination (175-195°C), and complete thermal decomposition (285-360°C).     

On the Lanthanide Ferrocyanides KLnFe(II)(CN)6·xH2O (Ln=La-Lu): Characterization and Thermal Evolution

The properties of a series of lanthanide hexacyanoferrate(II) n-hydrates were studied by thermal analysis, IR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. Thermal analysis results show that there are three kinds of complexes in this series, KLn[Fe(CN)₆]·4 H₂O (Ln=La-Nd), KSm[Fe(CN)₆]·3H₂O and KLn[Fe (CN)₆]·3.5H₂O (Ln=Eu-Lu). On the basis of IR spectra, only two different types of complexes show obvious differences. Indeed for the tetrahydrates, there is one OH stretching band; on the other hand, for the samarium phase and the 3.5 hydrates a splitting of HOH stretching mode is observed. The splitting of the H₂O band is correlated to a symmetry modification. The crystal structures of the three complexes KLn[Fe(CN)₆]·3.5H₂O (Ln=Eu, Er and Lu) were determined; they belong to orthorhombic symmetry (space group Cmcm). Heat-treated powders have been investigated by X-ray analysis which show the formation of thin needles of LnFeO₃ at 600°C.     

Thermal dehydrations

The behaviour of thermal dehydrations of isomorphous complexes of calcium copper acetate hexahydrate, CaCu(CH₃CO₂)₄·6H₂O and calcium cadmium acetate hexahydrate, CaCd(CH₃CO₂)₄· 6H₂O was studied by means of thermal analyses and X-ray structural analysis. The enthalpy changes for the dehydration of CaCu(CH₃CO₂)₄·6H₂O and CaCd(CH₃CO₂)₄·6H₂O were 315±9.7 and 295±8.0 kJ mol^–1, respectively. The DSC curves of the dehydrations indicated that the seemingly simple dehydrations are more complex than they appear at first sight. Apparent activation energies for the dehydrations of CaCu(CH₃CO₂)₄·6H₂O and CaCd(CH₃CO₂)₄·6H₂O were 85.7±7.4 and 87.9±12.5 kJ mol^–1, respectively.The authors wish to express their thanks to Associate Professor Yasuhiko Yukawa of the Niigata University for the analysis of the X-ray-intensity data.     

Structural diversity of organotin(IV) complexes self-assembled from hydroxamic acid and mono- or dialkyltin salts

Three hydroxamic acid ligands (HL₁ = acetohydroxamic acid; HL₂ = benzohydroxamic acid; HL₃ = N-phenylbenzohydroxamic acid), have been used to synthesize series of mono- or dialkyltin(IV) complexes, which include (i) the carboxyl acid hybrid five-coordinated dialkyltin complexes (C₄H₉)₂SnL₁L₄ (1), [(CH₃)₂SnL₂L₅]·0.5C₆H₆ (2), (HL₄ = acetic acid; HL₅ = benzoic acid); (ii) the six-coordinated mono-n-butyltin complexes (C₄H₉)SnL₁·Cl₂·H₂O (3), (C₄H₉)SnL₂·Cl₂·H₂O (4), [(C₄H₉)SnL₃·Cl₂·H₂O]·H₂O (5), [(C₄H₉Sn)₂(L₃)₂·Cl₂·(OCH₃)₂] (6); and (iii) the alkali metal-mingled seven-coordinated mono-n-butyltin complexes [(C₄H₉Sn)₃L₂Na]⁺·Cl⁻·(CH₃CH₂)₂O (7), [(C₄H₉Sn)₃L₂K]⁺·Cl⁻·CH₂Cl₂ (8). All complexes were characterized by elemental analyses, IR, ¹H, ¹³C, ¹¹⁹Sn NMR and X-ray single crystal diffraction. In these complexes, hydroxamic acids present bidentate coordination modes with the carbonyl O atom and the hydroxyl O atom binding to tin center. In complexes 1-6, each tin atom is coordinated by one hydroxamic acid ligand. However, in complexes 7 and 8, tin atom is surrounded by three hydroxamic acid ligands, and all hydroxyl O atoms of the ligands also bind to the alkali metal center (Na or K). This kind of organotin(IV) framework containing one alkali metal is found for the first time. Furthermore, the supramolecular structures of 1, 3, 4 and 6 have been found to consist of 1D linear molecular chains formed by intermolecular N-H···X or C-H···X (X = O, N or Cl) hydrogen bonds. For complex 2, an interesting macrocyclic tetramer has been built by the intermolecular N-H···O hydrogen bonds. Fascinatingly, two unique symmetric dimeric structures are recognized in complexes 7 and 8, which is individually bridged by intermolecular N-H···Cl and N-H···O hydrogen bonds. In addition, for 8, the dimeric cycles have been further connected into a 1D supramolecular chain.     

Conformational study of lanthanide(III) complexes of N-(2-salicylaldiminatobenzyl)-1-aza-18-crown-6 by using X-ray and ab initio methods

A structural study of lanthanide complexes with the deprotonated form of the monobracchial lariat ether N-2-salicylaldiminatobenzyl-aza-18-crown-6 (L⁴) (Ln = La(III)–Tb(III)) is presented. Attempts to isolate complexes of the heaviest members of the lanthanide series were unsuccessful. The X-ray crystal structures of [Pr(L⁴)(H₂O)](ClO₄)₂ · H₂O · C₃H₈O and [Sm(L⁴)(H₂O)](ClO₄)₂ · C₃H₈O show the metal ion being bound to the eight donor atoms of the ligand backbone. Coordination number nine is completed by the oxygen atom of an inner-sphere water molecule. Two different conformations of the crown moiety (labelled as A and B) are observed in the solid state structure of the Pr(III) complex, while for the Sm(III) complex only conformation A is observed. The complexes were also characterized by means of theoretical calculations performed in vacuo at the HF level, by using the 3-21G^∗ basis set for the ligand atoms and a 46 + 4fⁿ effective core potential for lanthanides. The optimized geometries of the Pr(III) and Sm(III) complexes show an excellent agreement with the experimental structures obtained from X-ray diffraction studies. The calculated relative energies of the A and B conformations for the different [Ln(L⁴)(H₂O)]²⁺ complexes (Ln = La, Pr, Sm, Ho or Lu) indicate a progressive stabilization of the A conformation with respect to the B one upon decreasing the ionic radius of the Ln(III) ion. For the [Ln(L⁴)(H₂O)]²⁺ systems, most of the calculated bond distances between the metal ion and the coordinated donor atoms decrease along the lanthanide series, as usually observed for Ln(III) complexes. However, our ab initio calculations provide geometries in which the Ln–O(5) bond distance [O(5) is an oxygen atom of the crown moiety] increases across the lanthanide series from Sm(III) to Lu(III).

They exhibit three types of networks: complexes 1-4 are isomorphous coordination networks containing neutral 2D metal-organic layers, while complexes 5-9 are isomorphous, which consist of cationic metal-organic layers and anionic organic layers, and complex 10 is a 2D network built up from 4-connected HPyIDC²⁻ anion and 4-connected Y(III) ions. In addition, thermogravimetric analyses and solid-state luminescent properties of the selected complexes are investigated. They exhibit intense, characteristic emissions in the visible region at room temperature.

The photophysical properties of these complexes were studied using ultraviolet absorption spectra, fluorescence excitation and emission spectra.     

Water vapor pressure and thermodynamics of dehydration of Group 2 perchlorate hydrates

The limits of existence for Group 2 perchlorate hydrates are defined. The water vapor pressure is measured over the crystal hydrates Mg(ClO₄)₂·2H₂O, Ca(ClO_{4 2}·4H₂O, Sr(ClO₄)₂·3H₂O, Sr(ClO₄)₂·2H₂O, Sr(ClO₄)₂·H₂O, Ba(ClO₄)₂·3H₂O, and Ba(ClO₄)₂·H₂O. The water vapor pressure and thermodynamics constants of dehydration depend directly on the electron-acceptor strength of the cation.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 7, pp. 1467–1473, July, 1990.
