Investigation of the spectral properties of a squarylium near-infrared dye and its complexation with Fe(III) and Co(II) ions.

The spectral features of the squarylium dye NN525 in different solutions and its complexation with several metal ions were investigated. The absorbance maximum of the dye is at 669 nm in tetrahydrofuran. This value matches the output of a commercially available laser diode (650 nm), thus making use of such a source practical for excitation. The emission maximum of the dye in tetrahydrofuran is at 676 nm. The addition of either Fe(III) ion or Co(II) ion resulted in fluorescence quenching of the dye. The detection limit is 6.24 x 10(-8) M for Fe(III) ion and 1.55 x 10(-8) M for Co(II) ion. The molar ratio of the metal to the dye was established to be 1:1 for both metal ions. The stability constant Ks of the metal-dye complex was calculated to be 3.14 x 10(6) M(-1) for the Fe-dye complex and 2.64 x 10(5) M(-1) for the Co-dye complex.     

Spectral characterization of a novel near-infrared cyanine dye: a study of its complexation with metal ions

The spectral features of the near-infrared (NIR) dye TG-170 in different solutions and its complexation with several metal ions were investigated. The absorbance maxima of the dye are at λ=819, 805, and 791 nm in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), methanol, and a buffer of pH 5.9, respectively. These values match the output of a commercially available laser diode (780 nm), thus making use of such a source practical for excitation. The emission wavelengths of the dye are at λ_em =822, 812, and 803 nm in DMSO, methanol, and the buffer, respectively. The molar absorptivity and fluorescence quantum yield increase accordingly. The addition of either an Al(III) ion or Be(II) ion resulted in fluorescence quenching of the dye. The Stern–Volmer quenching constant, K_SV, was calculated from the Stern–Volmer plot to be K_SV=3.11×10⁵ M⁻¹ for the Al(III) ion and K_SV=1.17×10⁶ M⁻¹ for the Be(II) ion. The molar ratio of the metal to the dye was established to be 1:1 for both metal ions. The stability constant, K_S, of the metal–dye complex was calculated to be 4.37×10⁴ M⁻¹ for the Al–dye complex and 1.94×10⁶ M⁻¹ for the Be–dye complex.     

Co(III) and Fe(III) complexes of Schiff bases derived from 2,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde S-allyl-isothiosemicarbazonehydrobromide

Two new complexes, [Co(L¹)(Py)₃]Cl_0.75Br_0.25 (L¹=4-hydroxy salicylaldehyde S-allyl-isothiosemicarbazonato-N,N′,O) and [Fe(L²)Cl]·C₂H₅OH (L²=S-allyl-N¹-(4-hydroxy salicylaldehyde)-N⁴-(salicylaldehyde)isothiosemicarbazide-N,N′,O,O′), have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR and UV–vis spectroscopy, and molar conductivity. The solid-state structures of the complexes were also determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The iron(III) and cobalt(III) complexes adopt distorted square-pyramidal and octahedral geometries, respectively. The strength of the bonding in these complexes was investigated by thermogravimetric studies with both exhibiting stability with complete decomposition not occurring until ca. 600?°C.

Selective detection of Fe(III) ions in aqueous solution with a 1,8-diacridylnaphthalene-derived fluorosensor

The syn-isomer of 1,8-bis(4,4′-diisopropyl-9,9′-diacridyl)naphthalene, 1, has been prepared by two consecutive Pd(PPh₃)₄-catalyzed Stille cross-coupling steps. This highly congested sensor undergoes Fe(III)-selective fluorescence quenching in water/acetonitrile even in the presence of excess of other metal ions.     

Acceleration Effect of Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) on the Hydrolysis Rate of Ortho- or Para-Hydroxy Schiff Bases

The kinetics of hydrolysis of ortho- or para-hydroxybenzylidene-4-benzidine Schiff bases have been examined in the pH range 1.70–11.90, in aqueous media containing 20wt% dioxane, at 20 °C. In basic media, pH > 8.47, a slight increase in the hydrolysis reaction rate of the Schiff bases is observed. In such basic media, the rate-controlling step is the attack of hydroxide ion on the ionized Schiff base. Below pH 6.82, the rate-determining step is ascribed to be the attack of water molecules on the protonated substrate. The effects of Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) ions on the hydrolysis reaction rate of the Schiff bases have been studied and discussed on the basis of formation of a monocyclic chelate rings. The various thermodynamic parameters have also been evaluated and discussed.     

Facile synthesis of highly active Co(II) and Fe(II) phthalocyanine catalysts for aerobic oxidation of phenolic compounds

In this work, 2,3-dichlorophenoxy substituted cobalt and iron phthalocyanines have been synthesized and used as efficient catalysts for aerobic oxidation of nitrophenols. Co(II) and Fe(II) phthalocyanines have been characterized by IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, UV–vis, and mass spectroscopies. tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP), m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid, hydrogen peroxide, and air oxygen have been used as oxygen source. These catalysts offered the highest activity on 4-nitrophenol oxidation in 3 h. In order to achieve the best reaction conditions, oxidant ratio, temperature, and oxidant type have been investigated with different nitrophenols in 3 h.     

A contribution to 1-azapentadienylmetal chemistry: Si, Sn(II), Fe(II) and Co(II) complexes

Complexes of three related 1-azapentadienyl ligands [N(SiMe₂R¹)C(Bu^t)(CH)₃SiMe₂R]⁻, abbreviated as L (R = Bu^t, R¹ = Me), L′ (R = Me = R¹), and L″ (R = Bu^t = R¹), are described. The crystalline compounds Sn(L)₂ (1), Sn(L′)₂ (2), [Sn(L′)(μ-Cl)]₂ (3) and [Sn(L″)(μ-Cl)]₂ (4) were prepared from SnCl₂ and 2 K(L), 2 K(L′), K(L′) and K(L″), respectively, in thf. Treatment of the appropriate lithium 1-azapentadienyl with Si(Cl)Me₃ yielded the yellow crystalline Me₃Si(L) (5) and the volatile liquid Me₃Si(L′) (6) and Me₃Si(L″) (7), each being an N,N,C-trisilyldieneamine. The red, crystalline Fe(L)₂ (8) and Co(L′)₂ (9) were obtained from thf solutions of FeCl₂ with 2 Li(L)(tmeda) and CoCl₂ with 2 K(L′), respectively. Each of 1-9 gave satisfactory C, H, N analyses; 6 and 7 (GC-MS) and 1, 2, 8 and 9 (MS) showed molecular cations and appropriate fragments (also 3 and 4). The ¹H, ¹³C and ¹¹⁹Sn NMR (1-4) and IR spectra support the assignment of 1-4 as containing Sn-N(SiMe₂R¹)-C(Bu^t)(CH)₃SiMe₂R moieties and 5-7 as N(SiMe₃)(SiMe₂R¹)C(Bu^t)(CH)₃SiMe₂R molecules; for 1-4 this is confirmed by their X-ray structures. The magnetic moments for 8 (5.56 μ_B) and 9 (2.75 μ_B) are remarkably close to the appropriate Fe and Co complex [M{η³-N(SiMe₃)C(Bu^t)C(H)SiMe₃}₂]; hence it is proposed that 8 and 9 have similar metal-centred, centrosymmetric, distorted octahedral structures.     

Formal Co(0), Fe(0), and Mn(0) complexes with NHC and styrene ligation

The limited knowledge on low-coordinate zero-valent transition-metal species has intrigued great synthetic efforts in developing ligand sets for their stabilization. While the combined ligand set of N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) with vinylsilanes was the only known ligand system amenable to the stabilization of three-coordinate formal zero-valent cobalt, iron, and manganese complexes, the exploration on other ligands has proved that the ligand set of NHCs with styrene is equally effective in stabilizing three-coordinate formal zero-valent metal complexes in the form of (NHC)M(η²-CH₂CHPh)₂ (NHC = IPr, IMes; M = Co, Fe, Mn). These styrene complexes can be prepared by the one-pot reactions of MCl₂ with styrene, NHC and KC₈, and have been characterized by various spectroscopic methods. Preliminary reactivity study indicated that the interaction of [(IMes)Fe(η²-CH₂CHPh)₂] with DippN₃ produces the iron(IV) bisimido complex [(IMes)Fe(NDipp)₂] and styrene, which hints at the utility of these zero-valent metal styene complexes as synthons of the mono-coordinate species (NHC)M(0).     

Determination of cobalt(II), copper(II) and iron(II) by ion chromatography with chemiluminescence detection

An optimized flow-injection manifold for the chemiluminescence determination of cobalt(II), copper(II), iron(II) and chromium(III) by their catalytic effect on the luminol reaction is described. Detection limits are 0.0006, 0.08, 0.3 and 0.1 ng ml^?1, respectively. The suppression effect of several carboxylic acids on the emission intensity is discussed. A procedure for the separation of cobalt(II), copper(II) and iron(II) on a low-capacity, silica-based cation-exchange column, using 5 mM oxalic acid at pH 4.2 as the mobile phase and post-column detection via the luminol reaction, is also described. Detection limits for cobalt(II) and copper(II) are 0.01 and 5 ng ml^?1, respectively.     

Potentiometric titration of Co(II) in presence of Co(III)

A potentiometric titration for cobalt(II) determination in the presence of Co(III) based on the oxidation of Co(II) with Na₂CrO₄ in ethylenediamine medium and back-titration of the oxidant excess with (NH₄)₂Fe(SO₄)₂ in acid medium is described. The titration is monitored with a Pt indicator electrode and carried out until the greatest jump of potential from one drop of titrant appears. A RSD smaller than 1.5% has been obtained for 50–300 μmol Co(II). The method proposed was applied in the analysis of a new type electroless copper plating solutions containing Co(II)-ethylenediamine complex compounds as reducing agents. Cu(II), Co(III) and Cr(III) do not interfere in the determination of Co(II).     

Fe(II) and Co(II) pyridinebisimine complexes bearing different substituents on ortho- and para-position of imines: synthesis, characterization and behavior of ethylene polymerization

A series of 2,6-bis(imino)pyridyl iron(II) and cobalt(II) complexes [2,6-(ArNCMe)₂C₅H₃N]MCl₂ (Ar = 2,6-i-Pr₂C₆H₃, M = Fe: 3a, M = Co: 4a; Ar = 2,4,6-i-Pr₃C₆H₂, M = Fe: 3b, M = Co: 4b; Ar = 2,6-i-Pr₂-4-BrC₆H₂, M = Fe: 3c, M = Co: 4c; Ar = 2,4-i-Pr₂-6-BrC₆H₂, M = Fe: 3d, M = Co: 4d) has been synthesized, characterized, and investigated as precatalysts for the polymerization of ethylene in the presence of modified methylaluminoxane (MMAO). The substituents of pyridinebisimine ligands and their positions located significantly influence catalyst activity and polymer property. It is found that the catalytic activities of the iron complexes/MMAO systems are mainly dominated by electronical effect, while those of the cobalt complexes/MMAO systems are primarily controlled by hindering effect.     

A highly fluorescent adenine derivative and its interaction with iron ions

In this paper, an adenine-derived fluorescent chromophore (HCC-APA) was synthesized to detect its interaction with iron ions. The results showed that a large stokes shift (υ = 10981.5 cm^?1) fluorescence of the HCC-APA was appeared. The fluorescence quantum yields of HCC-APA in DMF and THF were 3.49% and 17.54%, respectively, demonstrating its higher fluorescence performance than unmodified adenine. Besides, the fluorescence quenching of HCC-APA with iron ions was further detected. Fluorescence titration experiments confirmed that the detection limit of HCC-APA for Fe³⁺ was 3.69 μM. The interaction between iron ions and HCC-APA was investigated by continuous variable method, indicating that the binding ratio is 1:1. And the interaction site was deeply explored by ¹H NMR and molecular simulation.

Both 1,3-bis(2-R-tetrazol-5-yl)triazenes were found to deprotonate on coordination and act as tridentate chelating ligands forming distorted MN₆ octahedra around metal(II) cations.

Spectrophotometric Study of Mithramycin Complexes with Cu(II), Fe(III) and Tb(III)

Abstract

The coordination of the anticancer drug mithramycin to Tb(III), Fe(III) and Cu(II) was studied in aqueous solution using absorption measurements. The stability constants were calculated from equilibrium competition experiments by means of the SQUAD program. For both first ions, the competitor was oxalic acid and for the latter the competitor was the Cu(II) ions. Cu(II) at pH 7.5, Fe(III) at pH 3.5 and Tb(III) at pH 5.5 formed respectively 1:2, 1:3 and 1:4 metal-to-ligand species.     

Fluorescent sensor of fluorene derivatives having phosphonic acid as a fluorogenic ionophore: synthesis and static quenched properties for Fe(III)

A series of novel fluorene derivatives containing –PO(OH)₂ (1, 2), –HS (3), and –N⁺ (CH₃)₃ (4) were synthesized and only phosphonic-functionalized fluorene derivatives can detect Fe³⁺ with high selectivity over other metal ions. The fluorescence quenching of 1 and 2 with titration Fe³⁺ in water–DMF solution fits the Perrin model of static quenching. Spectral analysis showed that Fe³⁺ bound with fluorene-based chemosensor through the O-atoms at the phosphonic group to form nonfluorescent complexes. The binding ratio was estimated by the Job plot and the trace levels of iron in samples were successfully monitored.

These 1-D and 2-D complexes are further connected by hydrogen bonds to form 3-D supramolecular architectures. Complexes 1–4 showed very strong yellow luminescence emission.
