The enthalpies of dilution for aqueous solutions of [Co(en)₃]Br₃, [Co(pn)₃]Cl₃, and [Co(tn)₃]Cl₃ (where en = 1,2-diaminoethane, pn = 1,2-diaminopropane, and tn = 1,3-diaminopropane) have been measured at 25°C, and up to m = 1 mol-kg^–1, using an isoperibol calorimeter by the long-jump method. Relative apparent molar enthalpies L have been extracted as an empirical equation relating L and m. Previously reported experimental data and theoretical predictions in the restricted primitive model (RPM) for 3:1 and 1:3 aqueous electrolytes are shown together with the new experimental material.     

Volumetric properties of dilute aqueous solutions of cobalt amine type salts. Part 2. Densities at 15 and 5°C

Apparent molar volumes have been determined by density measurements of aqueous solutions for a series of salts [Co(L)₃]X₃, where X=Cl^– and Br^– and L¹=1,2-diaminoethane (en), L²=1,2-diaminopropane (pn) and L³=1,3-diaminopropane (tn) at 15°C and 5°C. Apparent molar volumes at infinite dilution for the complex cations at 0°C are estimated. The resulting values are related to the structure of solvent water molecules around the ions.     

Aqueous solutions of tris(1,2-diaminoethane)cobalt(III) chloride and tris(1,3-diaminopropane)cobalt(III) chloride atT = 278.15 K. Enthalpy of dilution

The enthalpies of dilution of aqueous solutions of {Co(en)₃}Cl₃and {Co(tn)₃}Cl₃(where en =  1,2-diaminoethane andtn =  1,3-diaminopropane) have been measured up to m =  1 mol · kg ^− 1at T =  278.15 K and atmospheric pressure with an isoperibol calorimeter by the long-jump method. Relative apparent molar enthalpies L_φ,mhave been extracted from an empirical polynomial of the molality square root. Previously reported data at T =  298.15 K are compared with the new experimental dilution results. A noticeable decrease in L_φ,mwas observed at every experimental concentration when temperature diminished from 298.15 K to 278.15 K. An inversion in the relative layout for the L_φ,mcurves of aqueous {Co(en)₃}Cl₃and {Co(tn)₃}Cl₃was also found.

The enthalpies of dilution for aqueous solutions of [Co(en)₃]Cl₃, where en=1,2-diaminoethane, have been measured at 25°C, and up to m=1 mol-kg^–1, using a new large isoperibol calorimeter by the long-jump method. Relative apparent molar enthalpies L have been extracted as an empirical equation relating L and m. Comparison with other 31 and 13 aqueous systems confirms the previously suggested hydrophobic character of the [Co(en)₃]³⁺ cation.     

Partial molar volumes and partial molar adiabatic compressibilities of ethylenediamine complexes in water

Densities and ultrasonic propagating velocities of aqueous solutions of ethylenediamine complexes [Co(en)₃]Cl₃, [Cr(en)₃]Cl₃, [Ni(en)₃]Cl₂, and [Cu(en)₂]Cl₂ (en=ethylenediamine), as well as the ligand ethylenediamine were measured at 25°C. The infinite dilution values of the partial molar volume V ₂ ⁰ and partial molar adiabatic compressibility K _s ⁰ were evaluated. The value of K _s ⁰ of the ligand ethylenediamine is nearly zero. The values of V ₂ ⁰ and K _s ⁰ are combined with other interaction parameters, such as the Stokes radii and the viscosity B-coefficients, and their dependece upon the charge number and the stereochemistry of the complex ions is discussed.     

Thermal investigation of diamine complexes of Zn(II) in the solid state

The complexes [Zn(en)₃]X2·n H₂O, where en = ethylenediamine, X = Cl^?, Br^? or $\text{1}\text{2}$SO^2?₄, n = 1 or 0.5, and [Zn(tn)₂]X₂·n H₂O, where tn=1,3-diaminopropane, X=Cl^?, Br^? or $\text{1}\text{2}$SO^2?₄, n = 0 or 0.25, have been synthesized and their thermal investigations carried out. The complexes were characterized by elemental analysis and IR spectral data. These complexes have been observed to decompose through several isolable as well as non-isolable complex species as intermediates during heating. [Zn(tn)₂]SO₄ undergoes solid-state phase transition in the temperature range 126–145°C. ZnenSO₄ and ZntnX₂ (X = Cl^?, Br^? or $\text{1}\text{2}$SO^2?₄) have been synthesized pyrolytically in the solid state from their corresponding mother diamine complexes. ZnenSO₄ and ZntnX₂ (X = Cl^?, Br^? or $\text{1}\text{2}$SO^2?₄) complexes decompose through non-isolable hemidiamine species. ZnX₂ (X = Cl^? or Br^?) complexes of tn undergo melting after formation of the monodiamine species. In contrast, the corresponding en complexes undergo melting at non-stoichiometric composition. Diamine (en or tn) is found to be bridging in all monodiamine (en or tn) complexes; whilst their mother complexes possess chelated en or tn. The thermal stability sequence of en and tn complexes of Zn(II) is ZnCl₂ < ZnBr₂ < ZnSO₄. ΔH values are reported for some steps of decomposition. Possible mechanistic paths have been reported for each step of decomposition.     

The Effect of Temperature on the Equivalent Conductivities and Ion-Association Constants of Some Tris-(ethylenediamine)chromium(III) Complexes in N,N-dimethylformamide and N,N-dimethylacetamide

The equivalent conductivities of tris-(ethylenediamine)chromium complexes, [Cr(en)₃]X₃ (where X⁻= Cl⁻, Br⁻, I⁻; en = ethylenediamine) were measured as functions of temperature (278.15 to 328.15 K) and concentration [(1.948 ×10⁻⁴ to 10.728 ×10⁻⁴ mol⋅dm⁻³) and (2.282 ×10⁻⁴ to 11.246 ×10⁻⁴ mol⋅dm⁻³)] in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) and N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMAC), respectively. Equivalent conductivity values for [Cr(en)₃]X₃ in DMF were found to be higher than those in DMAC. The conductivity data were analyzed with the Robinson-Stokes equations. For [Cr(en)₃]X₃, the limiting equivalent ionic conductivities of [Cr(en)₃]³⁺ and the ion-association constants (K _A) of the ion-pair between [Cr(en)₃]³⁺ and the monovalent halide anions were determined in DMF and DMAC. The values of K _A for three complex salts in DMF were higher than those in DMAC. This can be ascribed to an increase of the ion-association constants with a decrease of the relative permittivity of the solvents. The values of K _A at 298.15 K decreased in the order Cl⁻> Br⁻> I⁻ in DMF and Cl⁻> I⁻> Br⁻ in DMAC. The K _A values for [Cr(en)₃]Cl₃ increased with increasing temperature in both DMF and DMAC. For [Cr(en)₃]X₃(X⁻= Br⁻, I⁻) in both solvents, this indicates increasing disorder occurs with increasing temperature. Thermodynamic parameters (standard Gibbs energy, enthalpy and entropy changes) were determined from the temperature dependence of K _A in DMF and DMAC. These parameters were inter-compared in their dependences on temperature and solvent.

Study of the Interaction of Some Potential Anticancer Gold(III) Complexes with Biologically Important Thiols Using NMR,UV–Vis,and Electrochemistry

The interaction of gold(III) complexes [Au(en)Cl₂]Cl, [Au(en)₂]Cl₃, [Au(cis‐DACH)Cl₂]Cl, and [Au(cis‐DACH)₂]Cl₃ (en = ethylenediamine, DACH = cis‐1,2‐diaminocyclohexane) with biologically important thiols, such as glutathione (GSH), dl ‐penicillamine (PSH), mercaptoacetic acid (MAA), and N‐(2‐mercaptopropionyl)glycine (MPG), has been studied using ¹H, ¹³C NMR, UV–vis spectroscopy and electrochemistry in aqueous solution. Kinetic data revealed that the reactivity of their substitution reaction followed the order: [Au(en)Cl₂]⁺ > [Au(en)₂]³⁺ > [Au(cis‐DACH)Cl₂]⁺ > [Au(cis‐DACH)₂]³⁺. The thiol reactivity increased with decreasing its size, viz. MAA ≫ MPG > PSH > GSH. Square wave stripping voltammetry displayed peaks for Au(III) and Au(I) at +0.875 V and +1.4 V respectively. The interaction of the complexes with thiols resulted in reduction of gold(III) to gold(I) and thiol ligands (RSH) were oxidized to disulfide (RSSR).     

Kinetic and mechanistic studies on the electron-transfer reactions between diaquabisethylenediaminecobalt(III) and ethylenediaminetetraacetatocobaltate(III) with promazine in acidic aqueous media

The kinetics of the electron-transfer reactions between promazine (ptz) and [Co(en)₂(H₂O)₂]³⁺ in CF₃SO₃H solution ([Co^III] = (2–6) × 10⁻³ m, [ptz] = 2.5 × 10⁻⁴ m, [H⁺] = 0.02 − 0.05 m, I = 0.1 m (H⁺, K⁺, CF₃SO ₃ ⁻ ), T = 288–308 K) and [Co(edta)]⁻ in aqueous HCl ([Co^III] = (1 − 4) × 10⁻³ m, [ptz] = 1 × 10⁻⁴ m, [H⁺] = 0.1 − 0.5 m, I = 1.0 m (H⁺, Na⁺, Cl⁻), T = 313 − 333 K) were studied under the condition of excess Co^III using u.v.–vis. spectroscopy. The reactions produce a Co^II species and a stable cationic radical. A linear dependence of the pseudo-first-order rate constant (k _obs) on [Co^III] with a non-zero intercept was established for both redox processes. The rate of reaction with the [Co(en)₂(H₂O)₂]³⁺ ion was found to be independent of [H⁺]. In the case of the [Co(edta)]⁻ ion, the k _obs dependence on [H⁺] was linear and the increasing [H⁺] accelerates the rate of the outer-sphere electron-transfer reaction. The activation parameters were calculated as follows: ΔH ^≠ = 105 ± 4 kJ mol⁻¹, ΔS ^≠ = 93 ± 11 J K⁻¹mol⁻¹ for [Co(en)₂(H₂O)₂]³⁺; ΔH ^≠ = 67 ± 9 kJ mol⁻¹, ΔS ^≠ = − 54 ± 28 J K⁻¹mol⁻¹ for [Co(edta)]⁻.     

Volumetric properties of dilute aqueous solutions of cobalt-amine-type salts. Part I. Densities at 25°C

The densities of dilute aqueous solutions of [CoL₃]X₃ [L=1,2-diaminoethane(en), 1,2-diaminopropane(pn), 1,3-diaminopropane(tn) X=Cl^–, Br^– and (ClO₄)^–] have been measured at 25°C from 0 to 5×10^–2m. The apparent molar volumes were calculated and extrapolated to infinite dilution. Ion-solvent interactions were detected from the change of the ionic partial molar volumes with concentration. These interactions depend both on the properties of the ion (polarization charge density at the surface, hydrophobic groups, etc.) and the characteristics and structure of the solvent.     

Synthesis,characterization, and mechanism of trans-dichlorido-bis-(ethylenediamine)cobalt(III) with L-cystine in the presence of chloride

Substitution reactions of trans-[CoCl₂(en)₂]Cl (where en?=?ethylenediamine) with L-cystine has been studied in 1.0?×?10^?1?mol?dm^?3 aqueous perchlorate at various temperatures (303–323?K) and pH (4.45–3.30) using UV-Vis spectrophotometer on various [Cl^?] from 0.05 to 0.01?mol?L^?1. The products have been characterized by their physico-chemical and spectroscopic data. Trans-[CoCl(en)₂(H₂O)]²⁺, from the hydrolysis of trans-[CoCl₂(en)₂]⁺ in the presence of Cl^?, formed a complex with L-cystine at all temperatures in 1?:?1 molar ratio. L-cystine is bidentate to Co(III) through Co–N and Co–S bonds. Product formation and reversible reaction rate constants have been evaluated. The rate constants for SN_i mechanism have been evaluated and activation parameters E _a, ΔH ^#, and ΔS ^# are determined.

A thermochemical study of the coordination reactions of La(III) with alanine and glycine

The solid-state coordination reactions of lanthanum chloride with alanine and glycine, and lanthanum nitrate with alanine have been studied by classical solution calorimetry. The molar dissolution enthalpies of the reactants and the products in 2 mol L^-1 HCl solvent of these three solid-solid coordination reactions have been measured using an isoperibol calorimeter. From the results and other auxiliary quantities, the standard molar formation enthalpies have been determined to be Δ_f H _m ^θ[La(Ala)₃Cl₃·3H₂O(s), 298.2 K]= -3716.3 kJ mol^-1, Δ_f H _m ^θ [La(Gly)₃Cl₃·5H₂O(s), 298.2 K]= -4223.0 kJ mol^-1 and Δ_f H _m ^θ [La(Ala)₄(NO₃)₃·H₂O(s), 298.2 K]= -3867.57 kJ mol^-1, respectively. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Double-salt formation in crystal structures containing [Co(en)3]Cl3

The structures of three racemic double salts of [Co(en)₃]Cl₃ (en is ethane-1,2-diamine, C₂H₈N₂), namely, bis[tris(ethane-1,2-diamine-κ²N,N′)cobalt(III)] hexaaquasodium(I) heptachloride, [Co(en)₃]₂[Na(H₂O)₆]Cl₇, bis[tris(ethane-1,2-diamine-κ²N,N′)cobalt(III)] hexaaquapotassium(I) heptachloride, [Co(en)₃]₂[K(H₂O)₆]Cl₇, and ammonium bis[tris(ethane-1,2-diamine-κ²N,N′)cobalt(III)] heptachloride hexahydrate, (NH₄)[Co(en)₃]₂Cl₇·6H₂O, have been determined, and the structural similarities with the parent compound, tris(ethane-1,2-diamine-κ²N,N′)cobalt(III) trichloride tetrahydrate, [Co(en)₃]Cl₃·4H₂O, are highlighted. All four compounds crystallize in the trigonal space group Pc1. When compared with the parent compound, the double salts show a modest increase in the unit-cell volume. The structure of the chiral derivative [Λ-Co(en)₃]₂[Na(H₂O)₆]Cl₇ has also been redetermined at cryogenic temperatures (120 K) and the disorder noted in a previous report has been accounted for.     

Metallosurfactants of Chromium(III) Coordination Complexes. Synthesis, Characterization and Determination of CMC Values

A number of mixed ligand chromium(III)–surfactant coordination complexes, of the type cis-[Cr(en)₂(A)X]²⁺ and cis-α-[Cr(trien)(A)X]²⁺ (A = Dodecyl or Cetylamine; X = F⁻, Cl⁻, Br⁻) were synthesized from the corresponding dihalogeno complexes by ligand substitution. These compounds form foam in aqueous solution when shaken. The critical micelle concentration (CMC) values of these surfactant metal complexes in aqueous solution were obtained from conductance measurements. Specific conductivity data (at 303, 308 and 313 K) served for evaluation of the temperature-dependent critical micelle concentration (cmc) and the thermodynamics of micellization (Δ G_m⁰, Δ H_m⁰ and Δ S_m⁰).     

A calorimetric study on the relative thermal stabilities of some cobalt(III)-tris(diamine) and -bis(triamine) complexes in the solid phase

The enthalpy changes for the reaction of [Co(AA)₃]X₃ and [Co(dien)₂]X₃ type complexes with an alkaline sodium sulfide solution were calorimetrically measured at 25°C, where AA is the diamine such as en, pn, tn, bpy or phen and X is Cl, Br, NO₃, I or ClO₄. The thermal stabilities were found to decrease in the following orders: chloride > bromide > nitrate > iodide > perchlorate; aliphatic diamine > aromatic diamine complexes; five-membered chelate > six-membered chelate compounds; and tris(diamine) > bis(triamine) complexes.     

Volumetric properties of glucose in aqueous HCl solutions at temperatures from 278.15 to 318.15 K

Densities have been measured for Glucose + HCl +Water at 10-degree intervals from 278.15 to 318.15 K. The apparent molar volumes (V _Φ,G) and standard partial molar volumes (V _Φ,G ⁰ ) for Glucose in aqueous solution of 0.2, 0.4, 0.7, 1.1, 1.6, 2.1 mol·kg⁻¹ HCl have been calculated as well as volumetric interaction parameters (V _EG) for Glucose — HCl in water and standard partial molar expansion coefficients (∂V _Φ,G ⁰ / ∂T)_p. Results show that (1) the apparent molar volume for Glucose in aqueous HCl solutions increases lineally with increasing molality of Glucose and HCl; (2) V _Φ,G/0 for Glucose in aqueous HCl solutions increases lineally with increasing molality of HCl; (3) the volumetric interaction parameters for Glucose — HCl pair in water are small positive and vary slightly with temperature; (4) the relation between V _Φ,G ⁰ and temperature exists as V _Φ,G ⁰ = a ₀ + a ₁(T − 273.15 K)^2/3; (5) values of (∂V _Φ,G ⁰ / ∂T)_p are positive and increase as temperatures rise, and at given temperatures decrease slightly with increasing molalities of HCl, indicating that the hydration of glucose decreases with increasing temperature and molality of HCl. These phenomena are interpreted successfully by the structure interaction model. Translated from Acta Chimica Sinica, 2006, 64(16): 1635–1641 (in Chinese)
