Spectroscopic and thermal investigations of Cu(II), Zn(II), Cd(II), Pb(II) and Al(III) caproates

Five complexes: Cu(cap)₂·4H₂O, Zn(cap)₂, Cd(cap)₂·4H₂O, Pb(cap)₂ and Al(cap)₃·4H₂O (where cap is the caproate anion?=?CH₃(CH₂)₄COO^?) were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR-spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis (TG), differential thermal analysis (DTA), UV-Vis spectra, ¹H NMR and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD). Using the non-isothermal, Horowitz-Metzger (HM) and Coats-Redfern methods, the kinetic parameters for the non-isothermal degradation of the complexes were calculated using TG data. The infrared and ¹H NMR data are in agreement with coordination through carboxylate, with cap acting as a bridging bidentate ligand. Thermogravimetric analysis of the hydrated complexes shows that the first degradation step is release of water molecules followed by decomposition of the anhydrous complexes, with release of caproate molecules.     

Determination of Lead(II), Copper(II), Zinc(II), Cobalt(II), Cadmium(II), Iron(III), Mercury(II) using sequential injection extractions

Sequential injection analysis is still dominated by single component analysis. In this proposed robust, economical simple instrumental system seven different metal ions are determined simultaneously using thin-film sequential injection extraction (SIE) with multivariate calibration and multiwavelength detection. Dithizone, in ethanol, is used as extractant and the metal dithizonates’ spectra are generated by a diode array spectrophotometer between 300 and 700 nm. The SI thin-film extraction using water miscible with ethanol works due to the hydrophobic interaction of ethanol with the Teflon wall to create a thin film. A sample frequency of 27 samples per hour was obtained with a sample carry-over of less than 1%. The results of the proposed sequential injection extraction system compare favourably with the results obtained by using standard atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) methods on conventional extraction samples.

Electrocatalytic Oxidation of Dithionite at a Cobalt(II)tetrasulfonated Phthalocyanine and 5,10,15,20‐Tetrakis‐(4‐sulfonatophenyl)porphyrin Cobalt(II) Modified Gold Electrode in Alkaline Solution

In this paper it is shown that the charge transfer kinetics of the oxidation of sodium dithionite at a gold electrode in alkaline solution can be increased by modifying this electrode with cobalt(II)tetrasulfonated phthalocyanine, sodium salt (CoTSPc) or 5,10,15,20‐tetrakis‐(4‐sulfonatophenyl)porphyrin cobalt(II), tetrasodium salt (CoTSPor). Electrodeposition of these catalysts is discussed as well as the oxidation of sodium dithionite at these immobilized catalysts. Despite an observed acceleration in the charge transfer kinetics, sodium dithionite is still oxidized irreversibly. However, the improvement in kinetics has beneficial consequences in the field of electroanalysis of sodium dithionite. Comparison of the oxidation at bare gold and modified gold electrodes showed that with improved charge transfer kinetics at the modified electrodes a higher sensitivity and selectivity and a much lower detection limit is obtained.     

Coordination compounds of heterocyclic azo derivatives. III. Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes of some arylazo-4,5-diphenylimidazole derivatives

The 3d transition metalion [Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II)] complexes of some 4,5-diphenylimidazole azo derivatives have been isolated and characterized by chemical analysis, conductance, electronic and IR spectra. These dyes are characterized by a high tendency towards complex formation with the neutral molecules coordinated to the metal ion as bidentate ligands. The molecular formula of the 1:1 and 1:2 complexes are suggested to be [MLX ₂(H₂O)₂] and [ML ₂ X ₂] or [ML ₂ X ₂]·2H₂O respectively, whereX=Cl^– or NO₃. the different bands observed in the visible spectra of methanolic solutions of the complexes have been assigned to the possible electronic transition type (L MCT and d-d). It is suggested that the complexes studied have a distorted octahedral geometry.

The reaction of 1,10-phenanthroline-2,9-dicarboxaldehyde with 2-mercaptoethylamine leads to 2,9-bis(2-ethanthiazolinyl)-1,10-phenanthroline (I) which undergoes rearrangement when reacted with manganese, nickel, copper or zinc ions to produce complexes of the tautomeric Schiff base 2,9-bis[2-(2-mercaptoethyl)-2-azaethene]-1,10-phenanthroline (L).

Selective Coordination of Gallium(III), Zinc(II), and Copper(II) by an Asymmetric Dinucleating Ligand: A Model for Metallophosphatases

Complexation studies of the dinucleating ligand H₃L (H₃L=2‐{[bis(pyridin‐2‐ylmethyl)amino]methyl}‐6‐{[bis(6‐pivaloylamidopyridin‐2‐ylmethyl)amino]methyl}‐4‐methylphenol), with metal‐binding sites A and B, which both provide four donors to a metal ion; a tertiary amine; two pyridines (substituted with amide hydrogen‐bond donors in site B), and a bridging phenolate, with Zn^II, Cu^II, and Ga^III are reported. The titration of H₃L with the three metal ions in solution was monitored by NMR spectroscopy or EPR and UV/Vis/near‐IR spectroscopy, as well as by ESI‐MS to analyze the selectivity of the two metal‐ion sites A and B of this model ligand for metallophosphatases; the spectroscopic assignments are supported by X‐ray crystallography results. The first Zn^II ion coordinates to site A with unsubstituted pyridine donors and, upon addition of a second equivalent of Zn^II, this coordinates to the sterically less accessible site B. From a similar titration with Ga^III, it emerges that only a mononuclear complex is obtained, with the Ga^III center coordinated to site A. When one equivalent of Ga^III is reacted with the mononuclear Zn^II complex, Zn^II is forced by Ga^III to exchange the site; this results in a dinuclear complex with Ga^III in site A and Zn^II in site B. With Cu^II, two isomers are observed: one with and the other without a bridging phenolate; these differ significantly in their spectroscopic and magnetic properties.     

Spectrophotometric Study on the Extraction of 4-(2- Thiazolylazo)Resorcinol Chelates of Cobalt(II), Nickel(II), Copper(II), and Zinc(II) with Zephiramin

Abstract

The solvent extraction of the transition metals(II)4-(2-thia-zolylazo)resorcinol(TAR) chelate anions with cation of zephiramin (Z⁺ Cl^?) was spectrophotometrically investigated. The composition of the extracted species was estimated to be 2Z⁺ MR₂ ^2-, which had the absorption maxima in the same ranges of wavelength at about 550 nm, and the constant extractions were obtained at pH 6.7–10.2 for cobalt, 7.2–9.1 for nickel, 8.2–10.1 for zinc, and 8.5–10.7 for copper system. In the presence of sodium chloride, cobalt chelate could be effectively separated from the other transition metals. The extraction equilibrium was also investigated and the extraction constants were calculated.     

Syntheses and Structures of Acetyl‐Acetonato‐Alumo‐Diphenylsilanolates with Magnesium(II), Iron(II), Iron(III), Cobalt(II), and Nickel(II)

Bis(acetylacetonate)alumo‐oxo‐tetraphenyldisiloxane‐metal(II) dihydrates [(acac)₂Al(O–SiPh₂–O–SiPh₂–O)]₂M(H₂O)₂ (M = Mg, Fe, Co, Ni) were obtained from the corresponding acetyl‐acetonate‐dihydrates (acac)₂M(H₂O)₂ by reaction with the alumosiloxane [O–Ph₂Si–O–SiPh₂–O]₄Al₄(OH)₄. These new compounds display two acac ligands at the aluminum atoms as well as disilatrioxy chains linking the two aluminum atoms forming a (Al–O–Si–O–Si–O)₂ cycle (X‐ray structure analyses). Within this cycle the divalent metal ions M²⁺, to which two water molecules in trans positions are linked, are installed in almost planar MO₄ coordination spheres. Using water free (acac)₂Ni a different product forms: both reactants combine in a 2:1 ratio to yield [O–Ph₂Si–O–SiPh₂–O]₄Al₄(OH)₂O(OH₂)Ni₂(acac)₄. Here, three of the acac ligands were transposed to the aluminum atoms. The nickel atoms are in a distorted octahedral coordination mode from oxygen atoms of the ligands. When iron(III)tris(acetylacetonate) reacts with the alumosiloxane [O–Ph₂Si–O–SiPh₂–O]₃Al₂O(OH)Fe₂(acac)₃ was isolated, in which the two iron atoms still display one of the acac ligands. One of the aluminum atoms is in a tetrahedral oxygen environment, whereas the other is in the center of a trigonal bi‐pyramid formed of oxygen atoms either of the siloxane or of acac. The iron atoms have five‐ or sixfold coordination from oxygen atoms of siloxane, acac, hydroxide or oxide.

The complex [Fe₃(PyTrz)₈(H₂O)₄](NO₃)₆) was also studied by adiabatic calorimetry. The Fe(II), Co(II), and Ni(II) nitrate complexes were shown to be isostructural to the previously synthesized linear trinuclear [Cu₃(PyTrz)₈H₂O)₄](NO₃)₆ complex. In all compounds, antiferromagnetic exchange interactions between M²⁺ ions were detected. The complex [Fe₃(PyTrz)₈(H₂O)₄](NO₃)₆ undergoes the ¹ A ₁ ⁵ T ₂ spin transition.

The complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, IR, electronic, and ESR spectra as well as magnetic moment measurements. The thermal (DTA) behaviour and electrical properties of some complexes were investigated in the solid state and correlated with the structure of the complexes.
