Spectrophotometric determination of thorium in food using 2-(2,5-disulfonic-4-methoxyphenylazo)-7-(2-hydroxyl-5-carboxylphenylazo)-1,8-dihydroxynaphthalene-3,6-disulfonic acid

A new highly sensitive and selective chromogenic reagent, 2-(2,5-disulfonic-4-methoxyphenylazo)-7-(2-hydroxyl-5-carboxylphenylazo)-1,8-dihydroxynaphthalene-3,6-disulfonic acid (1), was synthesized and applied to the spectrophotometric determination of trace thorium. In 5 mL of a 6 M perchloric acid medium, which greatly increases the selectivity, thorium reacts with 1 to form a 1: 2 green complex, having a sensitive absorption peak at 670 nm. Under optimal conditions, Beer’s law is obeyed over the range from 0 to 0.8 μg/mL Th(IV) and the apparent molar absorptivity is 2.09 × 10⁵ L/mol cm. It is found that, uranium(VI), Ti(IV), heavy rare earths, and most of other common metal ions do not interfere. The method has been tested on the determination of thorium in food samples with satisfactory results. The text was submitted by the authors in English.

Spectrophotometric studies on the zirconium complex of 2-(3,6-disulfo-8-hydroxynaphthylazo)-1,8-dihydroxynaphtualene-3, 6-disulfonic acid

Summary A chromotropic azo dye, DSNADNS, prepared from chromotropic acid and 1-amino-8-naphthol-3,6-disulfonic acid has been found to produce quantitative precipitation of zirconium in acid medium. The blue-violet complex formed is insoluble in all organic solvents commonly used for solvent extraction work, but is soluble in a number of liquid organic bases and solutions of ammonium salts in water showing pink to violet colouration. Spectrophotometric studies as to the nature of the complex in pyridine, triethanolamine ammonium acetate, oxalate and carbonate solutions and the analytical possibility of these solutions have been made. The complex appears to decompose in pyridine, ammonium acetate and ammonium oxalate solutions, but it is fairly stable in ammonium carbonate and triethanolamine solutions. The absorbance peaks of the dye in these solutions occur at 500 and 520 nm respectively, while the complex in triethanolamine and ammonium carbonate both shows absorbance maxima at 540 nm. The solution of the complex in these two solvents obeys Beer's law within a concentration range 4 to 25 mg of zirconium per litre. The molar absorbance coefficients of the complex in triethanolamine and ammonium carbonate are respectively 686 and 823, which indicate poor sensitivity. The solution of the complex in the former solvent is more stable than that in the latter and an analytical procedure for the spectrophotometric determination of zirconium, with little interference from foreign ions, may be developed with ease in the triethanolamine solution.

Zusammenfassung Ein Azofarbstoff der Chromotropsäure, DSNADNS, der aus Chromotropsäure und 1-Amino-8-naphthol-3,6-disulfonsäure dargestellt werden kann, ergibt mit Zirkonium in saurer Lösung eine quantitative Fällung. Der blauviolett gefärbte Komplex ist in allen üblichen organischen Lösungsmitteln unlöslich, löst sich jedoch in einigen flüssigen organischen Basen sowie wäßrigen Lösungen von Ammoniumsalzen mit rosa bis violetter Färbung. Die Lösungen des Komplexes in Pyridin, Triäthanolamin sowie in Ammoniumacetat, -oxalat und -carbonatlösungen und ihre analytische Verwendbarkeit werden spektrophotometrisch untersucht. In Pyridin sowie in Ammoniumacetat und -oxalatlösungen scheint sich der Komplex zu zersetzen, während er in Triäthanolamin und Ammoniumcarbonatlösungen ziemlich beständig ist. Das Absorptionsmaximum des Farbstoffs in diesen beiden Lösungsmitteln liegt bei 500 bzw. 520 nm, der Komplex weist in beiden Fällen ein Maximum bei 540 nm auf. Das Beersche Gesetz wird in beiden Lösungsmitteln von 4–25 mg Zr/l erfüllt. Der molare Absorptionskoeffizient beträgt 686 bzw. 823. Die Lösung des Komplexes in Triäthanolamin ist stabiler als in Ammoniumcarbonatlösung. Eine spektrophotometrische Bestimmung von Zirkonium, die nur wenig von Fremdionen gestört wird, könnte daher gut in Triäthanolaminlösung durchgeführt werden.

     

Determination of Lead Using a New Chromogenic Reagent 2-(2-Sulfo-4-acetylphenylazo)-7-(2,4,6-trichlorophenylazo)-1,8-dihydroxynaphthalene-3,6-disulfonic Acid

A novel chromogenic reagent, 2-(2-sulfo-4-acetylphenylazo)-7-(2,4,6-trichlorophenylazo)-1,8-dihydroxynaphthalene-3,6-disulfonic acid 1, was prepared by diazo coupling of 4-acetylaniline-2-sulfonic acid and 2,4,6-trichloroaniline to chromotropic acid through –N=N– groups. Based on this reagent, a simple, sensitive and selective spectrophotometric method was developed for the determination of lead. In 0.20M phosphoric acid medium, lead reacts with 1 to form a 1:2 blue complex with an absorption maximum of 654nm. Beers law is obeyed in the range of 0–0.6mgL^–1 of lead. The apparent molar absorptivity is 1.25×10⁵Lmol^–1cm^–1. The detection limit and quantification limit were found to be 0.63µgL^–1 and 2.1µgL^–1, respectively. The relative standard deviation for eleven replicate measurements was of 2.6%. The interference of foreign ions was also investigated. All the other foreign ions studied did not interfere with lead determination except for Ca(II) and Ba(II). The interference caused by Ca(II) and Ba(II) can be eliminated by prior extraction of lead with potassium iodide-methylisobutylketone (KI-MIBK). The proposed method was applied to the determination of lead in certified samples with satisfactory results.     

Spectrophotometric determination of zirconium with 2-(1-hydroxy-4,6-dinitro-2-phenylazo)-1,8-dihydroxynaphthalene-3,6-disulphonate (picramine ca) as chromogenic reagent

The title compound has been used as a selective reagent for the micro-determination of zirconium in acidic medium (0.5MHCl) and found to be better than Picramine R. Spectrophotometric studies show the formation of a 2:1 (ligand:Zr) water-soluble complex and the reaction is suitable for photometric determination of 0.4-2.8 ppm of zirconium. The colour takes about 90 min to develop fully and is stable for about 20 hr. The molar absorptivity of the complex is 2.4 x 10(4) and the equilibrium constant is of the order of 10(10). The interference due to a number of ions has been studied.     

Kinetics of the formation of a complex of the palladium ion with 1,8-dihydroxy-2-(2-pyrazoline-5-azo) naphthalene-3,6-disulfonic acid

The kinetics of the complex-formation of the palladium ion with 1,8-dihydroxy-2-(2-pyrazolin-5-azo)naphthalene-3,6-disulfonic acid has been studied in aqueous solution (pH 0–5). It has been shown that the rate of the reaction is a maximum at pH 2.8 and falls at pH > 2.9 because of the hydrolysis of the palladium ions and at pH < 2.9 as a consequence of the protonation of the reagent molecule.Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Éksperimental'naya Khimiya, Vol. 21, No. 5, pp. 611–613, September–October, 1985.     

Chromaticity characteristics of iron (II, III) complexes with 1-nitroso-2-naphthol-3,6-disulfonic acid

Optimal conditions for the complexation of iron(II, III) with 1-nitroso-2-naphthol-3,6-disulfonic acid in two buffer solutions and the reduction of iron(III) with ascorbic acid or hydroxylamine were found by spectrophotometry and chromaticity measurements. Chemical analytical and chromaticity characteristics of complexes in solutions were determined. It was shown that two complexes formed depending on the oxidation state of iron. Molar coefficients of the chromaticity functions were 20 to 30 times higher than molar absorption coefficients. The complexes exhibited abnormal light absorption maxima (710–720 nm) among the known 1-nitroso-2-naphthol-3,6-disulfonates and were chemically inert, which offers promise for analytical purposes.

Optical and chromaticity parameters of transition metal complexes with 1-nitroso-2-naphthol-3,6-disulfonic acid in the presence of surfactants

Optimal conditions for the complexation of transition metal ions [Cu(II), Ni(II), Co(II, III), and Fe(II, III)] with 1-nitroso-2-naphthol-2,6-disulfonic acid have been determined by spectrophotometry in the presence of cationic (cetylpyridinium and cetyltrimethylammonium bromides) and nonionic (OP-10, neonol) surfactants. The introduction of nonionic surfactants does not influence the optical parameters of the system, while the introduction of cationic ones leads to hyperchromic and hypsochromic (for the system Fe(III)-NRS-surfactant) effects. The stoichiometric ratios determined by the method of isomolar series and treatment of the saturation curves of cationic surfactants at pH 4.0 are Me(II): R: surfactant = 1: 2: 4, Me(III): R: surfactant = 1: 3: 6. The molar absorption coefficients and chromaticity parameters of ternary complexes have been determined. A 2–5-fold increase in the molar absorption coefficients and chromaticity functions as compared to binary systems has been revealed.

Oxidation of glyoxylic acid by a mononuclear manganese(IV) complex of 1,8-bis(2-hydroxybenzamido)-3,6-diazaoctane: A kinetics and mechanistic study

The oxidation of glyoxylic acid (HGl) by Mn^IVL {L⁴⁻ = tetra deprotonated 1,8-bis(2-hydroxybenzamido)-3,6-diazaoctane} was investigated in the pH range 1.67-10.18, at 25-45 °C and 0.5 M ionic strength. The reaction exhibited biphasic kinetics with Mn^IIIL⁻ as the reactive intermediate. Mn^IV was reduced to Mn^II. The products of oxidation of HGl were identified as formic acid and CO₂ in acidic medium, and oxalate in basic medium, consistent with the stoichiometry: −Δ[Mn^IV]/−Δ[HGl] = 1. In acidic medium, both Mn^IVL and Mn^IIIL⁻ formed outer-sphere adducts with the neutral HGl {HC(OH)₂COOH} molecule, with an association constant Q_av of 28 and 70 M⁻¹, respectively. A similar adduct formation was not observed for the glyoxylate mono anion {Gl⁻, CH(OH)₂(CO₂⁻)} and glyoxylate dianion {Gl²⁻, CH(OH)(O⁻)CO₂⁻}. The rate and activation parameters for the various paths are reported and an outer-sphere electron transfer mechanism is suggested.     

Kinetics and mechanism of the acid-catalysed decarboxylation of thecis-α- andcis-β-carbonato(3,6-dimethyl-1,8-diamino-3,6-diazaoctane)-cobalt(III) ions

Summary The acid-catalysed decarboxylation of thecis-- andcis--[CoL(CO₃)]⁺ complexes (L = 3,6-dimethyl-1,8-diamino-3,6-diazaoctane) have been studied over a range of HClO₄ concentrations and the temperatures 25, 35 and 45° at I = 1.0 mol dm^–3 (NaClO₄). The rate expression takes the form k_obs = k₀ + k₁[H⁺] where k_obs is the observed first order rate constant at constant hydrogen ion concentration. The k₀ term makes only a minor contribution to the overall reaction. Both complexes display solvent deuterium isotope effects ofca. 2.6 for the acid-catalysed decarboxylation, consistent with a rapid proton pre-equilibrium mechanism. Activation parameters have been determined and the mechanism of the reaction discussed. The magnitude of the solvent isotope effect is consistent with an A-1 type mechanism involving formation of a 5-coordinate intermediate.     

Spectrophotometric determination of microamounts of thorium with disodium salt of 2-(2-hydroxy-3,6-disulfo-1-naphthylazo)-benzenearsonic acid (Thorin) as a chromogenic reagent

A sensitive spectrophotometric method has been developed for the determination of microamounts of thorium using 0.05% thorin in a 3M perchloric acid solution as a chromogenic reagent and measuring the absorbance at 544 nm. The complex of thorium thus formed, is stable for more than two months with a constant absorbance of ±0.55%. Beer's law is obeyed from 0 to 25 g g^–1 of thorium in a solution with a molar absorptivity (544 nm) = 1.69×10⁴ M^–1 cm^–1 at 26±1 °C. Among the anions tested, only phosphate, acetate and cyanide at >200-fold excess of thorium interfere in the determination, whereas cations like Zn(II), Al(III), Na(I), Mg(II), and Ca(II) do not effect the absorbance. Thorium can be determined in the presence of oxalate, nitrate, tartrate, sulfate, thiosulfate, citrate, and ascorbate. The accuracy of the method has been checked by measuring the known concentration of thorium in the range of 100 g-5 mg g^–1 and found to be in the range of 7.7–0.9%. The method has been applied successfully to determine thorium at g g^–1 level in local ore samples with a precision of ±0.3%. The sensitivity of the method on Sandell's scale is 0.082±0.002 g g^–1 cm^–1.

The analytical characteristics of a complex in an interval concentration of palladium(II) (0.94–8.59) × 10⁻⁵ M are determined, ɛ = (9.80 ± 0.02) × 10³ (n = 9, P = 0.95). The function and molar coefficient of chromaticity are determined. The most sensitive functions are G [(7.6 ± 0.1) × 10⁵] and Z [(5.6 ± 0.2) × 10⁵] (n = 5, P = 0.95).

Optimal conditions of complexation copper(II) with 1-nitroso-2-naphtol-3,6-disulfonic acid were found by the spectrophotometric method. The optimum pH interval for the formation of a complex is 6.5–7.9. A tenfold surplus of the reagent suffices for the quantitative formation of a complex. The chemical and analytical characteristics of a complex in an interval concentration of copper (1.26–6.39) × 10⁻⁵ M are determined. The molar coefficient of absorption of a complex is (1.21 ± 0.01) × 10⁴ (n = 5, P = 0.95). The function and molar coefficient of chromaticity are determined. The most sensitive functions are Z [(2.58 ± 0.04) × 10⁵] and G [(3.88 ± 0.06) × 10⁵] (n = 5, P = 0.95).     

Biological study and electrochemical characterization of Cu(II) and 1,8-bis-(2-pyridyl)-3,6-dithiaoctane (pdto) complex

Preliminary proliferation assays in human tumor cervix line HeLa, using the coordination compound [Cu(pdto)H₂O]²⁺ (pdto = 1,8-bis-(2-pyridyl)-3,6-dithiaoctane) and its precursors Cu(NO₃)₂ · 2.5H₂O and pdto, were carried out. The results showed that the copper complex has a behavior similar to that of the reference drug cis-platin. No biological activity for the non-coordinated ligand and the copper salt was found. It was established by cyclic voltammetry, chronoamperometry, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, that the complex [Cu(pdto)H₂O]²⁺ presents an electrochemical reversible Cu(II)/Cu(I) reduction, in acetonitrile solution, meanwhile, the copper salt Cu(NO₃)₂ · 2.5H₂O exhibited an electrochemical irreversible behavior. A comparison between biological and electrochemical results corresponding to [Cu(pdto)H₂O]²⁺ and Cu(NO₃)₂ · 2.5H₂O let us to proposed, the electrochemical reversibility, as one important factor in the antitumoral activity of the copper complex. Due to the nature of the studies presented in this work, other factors like intercalation properties with DNA cannot be neglected in the antitumoral activity of the complex.
