Determination of Lead by Electrochemistry

Lead is one of the poisonous trace element for human body. It is important to find a way for measuring content of lead. Deternination of lead by electrochemistry is one of a method[1]. In this paper, lead is determined by single-sweep polarography. The absorption behavior of meso-tetra (4-sulfonylphenyl) porphyrin (H2TPPS4) complex with lead ion has also been studied.In Na2B4O7-NaOH solution with pH=l 0.5, the reduction peaks of the ligand are P1 (Ep1=-0.38V), P2 (Ep2=-1.04V), which potentials are obtained vs. S.C.E. When lead ion has been added into above solution. The peak current of P1 and P2 decrease, and a new reduction peak P3 (Ep3=-1.10 V) appears. It shows that the TPPS4-Pb(Ⅱ) complex forms,and this method can be applied to study the complex.     

A novel ethacrynic acid sensor based on a lanthanide porphyrin complex in a PVC matrix

Lanthanide porphyrin complexes synthesized by a solid state method were used to prepare a novel ethacrynic acid (EA) sensor. The sensor, based on pentane-2,4-dionato(meso-tetraphenylporphinato)terbium [TbTPP(acac)] with an optimized membrane composition, exhibits a Nernstian response to EA- ion in the concentration range 7.4 x 10(-6)-1.0 x 10(-1) mol l-1 with a pH range from 3.2 to 6.8 and a fast response time of 30 s. The electrode shows improved selectivity towards EA- ion with respect to common co-existing ions compared with the previously reported EA sensor. As electroactive materials, lanthanide porphyrin complexes show better potentiometric response characteristics than copper porphyrin complexes. The effect of solvent mediators and lipophilic ion additives was studied and the experimental conditions were optimized. The electrode was applied to the determination of EA in human urine samples with satisfactory results.     

镉离子在H2SO4溶液中极谱行为的研究

本文研究了在没有动物胶的0.5M H_2SO_4溶液中镉离子的极谱行为,得到了如下的结果:(1)在0.050～20.0mM CdSO_4 0.5M H_2SO_4的十种溶液中测得的电流-电位曲线都有良好的波形、恒定的极限扩散电流和易于确定的半波电位.这些曲线上都没有极谱极大出现;其极限扩散电流(波高)与镉离子的浓度成正比.在镉离子低浓度(0.050～0.20mM)时,半波电位保持不变,在镉离子高浓度(1.00～20.0mM)时,也仅有很小的变化.故镉离子在0.5MH_2SO_4,溶液中的电流-电位曲线可供定量和定性测定之用.(2)镉离子在低浓度时的极谱波是一种可逆波.(3)前人在H_2SO_4溶液中研究镉离子时之所以没有能得到令人满意的极谱行为的原因是他们在H_2SO4溶液中添加了动物胶的缘故.(4)作者从得到的波形良好的电流-电位曲线上,测定了25±0.2℃时镉离子在0.5M H_2SO_4溶液中的扩散电流常数、半波电位和电极反应中得失的电子数.结果如下: i_d/cm~(2/3)t~(1/6)=3.97μA/mM·mg~(2/3)·s~(-1/2) E_(1/2)=-1.011V(0.5M硫酸亚汞电极)=-0.559V(饱和甘汞电极) n=2 这些数据比Lingane的数据,扩散电流常数2.6μA/mM·mg~(2/3)·s~(-1/2)和半波电位-0.59V(饱和甘汞电极)],要合理些.     

Experimental determination of ionization potentials of tetraphenylporphine and metallotetraphenylporphines

Gas-phase ionization potentials of tetraphenylporphine and some metallotetraphenylporphines have been determined by the method of photocurrent measurements in nonpolar solvents reported previously [1]. The values obtained range from 5.9 to 6.3 eV, depending on the central metal ion, correlating well with the reported polarographic oxidation potentials. It has been concluded that photoelectron ejection from these complexes in isooctane occurs from the porphyrin π-system in all cases including Co(II) tetraphenylporphine, in which the electron is thought to be removed from the metal in polar solvents.     

Stopped-flow spectrophotometric determination of nM level of Pb(II) using 5,10,15,20-terakis(1-methylpyridinium-4-yl)porphine

A spectrophotometric determination method for nM levels of Pb(II) has been developed using a stopped-flow spectrophotometer with cationic water-soluble porphyrin. The stopped-flow spectrophotometer allows the monitoring of the incorporation reaction of the Pb(II) ion into 5,10,15,20-terakis(1-methylpyridinium-4-yl)porphine (TMPYP) within a narrow time window (2.5 s) at pH 10.5–12.0 before the Pb-TMPYP complex is replaced with other foreign metal ions, since usually the Pb-TMPYP complex is very labile and readily replaced with other metal ions. This improved the selectivity of Pb(II) determination as compared to the conventional spectrophotometric determination of Pb(II) using water-soluble porphyrins.     

Iron porphyrin-modified electrodes: influence of the method of modification on the stability and electroactivity in oxidation of sulfite or hydrogensulfite in ethanol–water solutions

The aim of this work is to study four types of modification of a glassy carbon electrode by Fe(III)-tetrakis(p-tetraaminophenyl)porphyrin and determine the influence of the method of immobilization of the complex on glassy carbon in electrocatalytic properties for the sulfite and hydrogensulfite oxidation in ethanol–water. The first modification was deposition of a drop of solution containing the porphyrin on a glassy carbon electrode and evaporation of the solvent (dry-drop method). The second method was immersion of the electrode at 54°C in a solution of dimethylformamide containing the porphyrin for 2 h. The third method consisted of the same heating treatment but after formation of a chemical bond of 4-aminopyridine on the glassy carbon surface, which acts as an axial ligand for the first layer of porphyrin. The fourth method involves electropolymerization of the porphyrin on the electrode surface. Important differences in stability, the potential where the oxidation wave begins and selectivity of the electrode to sulfite or hydrogensulfite were observed. The behavior of the polymer-modified electrode is different in water compared to ethanol–water.

Steric hindrance ligand strategy to aluminum porphyrin catalyst for completely alternative copolymerization of CO2 and propylene oxide

Aluminum porphyrin complexes are heavy-metal-free and soil-tolerant green catalysts for the copolymerization of CO2 and propylene oxide (PO),but they suffer from relatively poor poly(propylene carbonate) (PPC) selectivity.Herein,steric hindrance porphyrin ligand was used to enhance the PPC selectivity.Typically,a bulky anthracene-like group was incorporated into the porphyrin ring to form 5,10,15,20-tetra(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8-octahydro-1,4:5,8-dimethanoanthracen-9-yl)porphyrin,the aluminum porphyrin complex with this ligand,in combination with bis(triphenylphosphine)iminium chloride as a co-catalyst,produced completely alternate PPC.Additionally,the obtained PPC showed high regioselectivity,with a head-to-tail linkage content (HT) of 92％.Therefore,we demonstrated that introduction of bulky steric ligand into the porphyrin ring could reduce the propylene oxide homopolymerization activity leading to excellent PPC selectivity,and improve regioselectivity for the PO ring-opening during the copolymerization.     

Rapid and scalable synthesis of chiral porphyrin cage compounds

An improved and scalable synthetic route to chiral porphyrin cage compounds, which will be used as catalytic machines for the encoding of information into polymers, has been developed. The porphyrin cage was made chiral by introducing one or two nitro groups on its xylylene sidewalls. This nitration was performed with fuming nitric acid at low temperature and occurred in a highly regioselective fashion. The latter was thought to be the result of the binding of a nitronium cation inside the cavity of the cage compound, directing the reaction to the sidewalls. However, ¹H NMR titrations of the porphyrin cage compound with either nitric acid or the nitronium salt [NO₂][BF₄] revealed that the effect of the host-guest binding of the nitronium ion on the selectivity of the reaction is negligible. Instead, protonation of the porphyrin plays an essential role as it prevents the ring from being oxidized, allowing the nitration to be directed to the sidewalls.

Polarographic maxima of the third kind. III

The polarographic maxima of the third kind in solutions of 2-oxoadamantane and of pelargic acid (C₈H₁₇COOH) were investigated. The behavior of 2-oxoadamantane is similar to that of other adamantane and camphor derivatives. The surface activity of pelargic acid is markedly enhanced in 2 M MgSO₄ solutions, however a polarographic maximum of the third kind is observed in the neighborhood of the cathodic desorption potential only. The appearance of the polarographic maxima of the third kind seems to be related to the faculty of the surfactant to form under equilibrium conditions two-dimensional condensed layers on the mercury drop surface.     

Solvation effect of the cation of the supporting electrolyte in hexamethylphosphoramide

Polarographic reductions of sodium and potassium ions in hexamethylphosphoramide (HMPA) have been examined in various supporting electrolytes. The supporting electrolytes, which have much the same solvated radii and much the same electrocapillary curves, sometimes have a significantly different influence on the polarographic reductions of metal ions. The Li⁺ and Hex₄N⁺ ions provide a typical example. Their effective radii are seen to have much the same characteristics. However, the polarographic reduction of the sodium ion shows a difference in shape between that occurring in Li⁺ solution and that in Hex₄N⁺ solution. Another example is found in the case of Et₄N⁺, Me₄N⁺ and 5N6⁺, whose r_eff and the electrocapillary curves are much the same. However, the polarographic reductions of the sodium and potassium ions are different in these solutions. The solvation number of the solvent molecule of the supporting electrolyte cation seems to exert a great influence on these reductions. The electrocapillary curves were also examined with the tetradodecylammonium ion, tetradecylammonium ion and tetraphenylphosphonium ion used as the supporting electrolytes. The inhibition of the reduction of metal ion for these cations is evidence for their lack of solvation. The effects of the solvated asymmetrical tetraalkylammonium ions on the polarographic behaviour were also examined. When some methyl groups cooperate with the tetraalkylammonium ion, the chemical character is between that of the Et₄N⁺ ion and that of the Me₄N⁺ ion.

Differential-pulse polarographic determination of chromium and nickel in zircaloys using microsamples

Three methods were developed for the analysis of the alloying elements chromium and nickel in Zircaloy-2 and Zircaloy-4, alloys of zirconium used extensively in the nuclear industry as nuclear fuel sheathing. Zircaloy was dissolved in hydrofluoric acid followed by oxidation of Cr(III) to Cr(VI) by perchloric acid. The polarographic peak of CrO ₄ ^2– in alkaline medium was used to determine Cr. Nickel was determined, after HF dissolution, using the polarographic peak of the nickel-ammonia complex, Ni (NH₃) ₆ ²⁺ . In an alternative method for Ni, the sample was dissolved in HF and the polarographic peak of the nickel-fluoride complex, NiF ₄ ^2– , was used. Careful control of fluoride ion concentration and the pH eliminated the harmful effect of fluoride on the capillary behaviour of the dropping mercury electrode. The detection limits for chromium, nickel-ammonia and nickel-fluoride in Zircaloys were 0.0016, 0.0033, and 0.0041%, respectively.     

Spectrophotometric determination of lithium ion using a water-soluble octabromoporphyrin in aqueous solution

A water-soluble porphyrin, (2,3,7,8,12,13,17,18-octabromo-5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-sulfonatophenyl)porphyrin; H(2)obtpps(4-)) was synthesized and developed for the determination of lithium ion in aqueous solution. The octabromo groups lower the basicity of the porphyrin by their electron-withdrawing effect, and enable the porphyrin to react with the lithium ion in alkaline solution to form the lithium complex along with a shift of absorption maximum: lambda max/nm (logepsilon/mol(-1) dm(3) cm(-1)) of the lithium porphyrin are 490.5 nm (5.31) and 734 nm (4.36). Sodium and potassium ions did not react with the porphyrin. The equilibrium constant for the reaction Li(+)+Hobtpps(5-)right harpoon over left harpoon[Li(obtpps)](5-)+H(+) was found to be 10(-8.80) and the conditional formation constant of the [Li(obtpps)](5-) at pH 13 is 10(4.21). The above results were applied to the determination of lithium ion in aqueous solution. The interference from transition and heavy metal ions was masked by using N,N'-1,2-ethanediylbis[N(carboxylmethy)glycinato]magnesium(II) ([Mg(edta)](2-)) solution. Absorbance at 490 nm was measured against a blank solution. A calibration graph was linear over the range of 0.007-0.7 mug cm(-3) (1x10(-6)-1x10(-4) mol dm(-3)) of lithium(I) with a correlation factor of 0.967. Lithium ion less than ppm level was determined spectrophtometrically in aqueous solution. The proposed method was applied to the determination of lithium in human serum and sea water samples.

J-aggregates of diprotonated tetrakis(4-sulfonatophenyl)porphyrin induced by ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate

The J-aggregation behavior of diprotonated tetrakis(4-sulfonatophenyl)porphyrin (H2TPPS4(2-)) in aqueous solution in the presence of the hydrophilic ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (bmimBF4) was investigated in detail using UV-vis absorption spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, resonance light scattering (RLS) spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. With the addition of bmimBF4, increasing peaks appeared at a wavelength of 490 nm in the absorption spectra to account for the formation of H 2TPPS4(2-) J-aggregates. In addition, the experimental results also showed decreased fluorescence emission, enhanced RLS signals, intensified Raman scattering peaks, and the disappearance of NMR signals to further indicate that porphyrin J-aggregates exist in the studied system. NMR shifts of bmimBF 4 toward high field occurred corresponding to H2, H4, and H5 in the cationic imidazolium ring (bmim+), suggesting that bmim+ enters the magnetic shielding domain of the anionic phenyl sulfonate ion owing to the association process between the "large" cation and anion. Additionally, the fact that the absorption spectral shifts occurred in the nonprotonated porphyrin TPPS4(4-) further indicates the existence of the ion association effect of bmim+, which functions as an important factor in porphyrin aggregation.     

Construction of multiporphyrin arrays via selective cross-metathesis

Selective cross-metathesis of type I and type II meso-functionalized porphyrin olefins afforded alkenyl-coupled dimeric and trimeric porphyrin systems in good yield with excellent E/Z selectivity. The synthetic utility of the method is demonstrated through the preparation of mixed metalated (M = 2H, Zn) porphyrin dimer and trimer. [reaction: see text]     

Aluminum(III) Porphyrins as Ionophores for Fluoride Selective Polymeric Membrane Electrodes

Aluminum(III) porphyrins are examined as potential fluoride selective ionophores in polymeric membrane type ion‐selective electrodes. Membranes formulated with Al(III) tetraphenyl (TPP) or octaethyl (OEP) porphyrins are shown to exhibit enhanced potentiometric selectivity for fluoride over more lipophilic anions, including perchlorate and thiocyanate. However, such membrane electrodes display undesirable super‐Nernstian behavior, with concomitant slow response and recovery times. By employing a sterically hindered Al(III) picket fence porphyrin (PFP) complex as the membrane active species, fully reversible and Nernstian response toward fluoride is achieved. This finding suggests that the super‐Nernstian behavior observed with the nonpicket fence metalloporphyrins is due to the formation of aggregate porphyrin species (likely dimers) within the membrane phase. The steric hindrance of the PFP ligand structure eliminates such chemistry, thus leading to theoretical response slopes toward fluoride. Addition of lipophilic anionic sites into the organic membranes enhances response and selectivity, indicating that the Al(III) porphyrin ionophores function as charged carrier type ionophores. Optimized membranes formulated with Al(III)‐PFP in an o‐nitrophenyloctyl ether plasticized PVC film exhibit fast response to fluoride down to 40 μM, with very high selectivity over SCN^?, ClO₄^?, Cl^?, Br^? and NO₃^? (k^pot<10^?3 for all anions tested). With further refinements in the membrane chemistry, it is anticipated that Al(III) porphyrin‐based membrane electrodes can exhibit potentiometric fluoride response and selectivity that approaches that of the classical solid‐state LaF₃ crystal‐based fluoride sensor.
