Extraction of copper(II) from weakly acid and ammonia media with <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>′,<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>′-dialkylhydrazides of aliphatic carboxylic acids

Dependence of physicochemical properties of N′,N′-dialkylhydrazides of aliphatic carboxylic acids (solubility in kerosene, acid-base properties) on the length of hydrocarbon radicals in the functional group was studied. The extraction capacity for copper(II) salts in weakly acid and ammonia media was examined in the range from pH 5–11 to a NH₃ content of 2.7 M. The capacity of the organic phase for copper(II) and re-extraction conditions were determined for the example of N′,N′-dibutylhydrazide of octanoic acid.     

Directed Aminomethylation of Pyrrole,Indole, and Carbazole with <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>,<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>,<Emphasis Type="Italic">N′</Emphasis>,<Emphasis Type="Italic">N′</Emphasis>-Tetramethylmethanediamine

Catalytic aminomethylation of pyrrole and indole with N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylmethanediamine in the presence of 5 mol % of ZrOCl₂·8H₂O proceeds selectively at the positions 2, 5 of pyrrole and 1, 3 of indole. Carbazole under the same conditions affords 3-formyl-9-aminomethyl derivative. The reaction in the presence of 5 mol % of K₂CO₃ occurs as monoaminomethylation: for pyrrole at the position 2, for indole at the position 3, and for carbazole at the nitrogen atom of the substrate. Water-soluble 1,1′-(1H-pyrrole-2,5-diyl)bis(N,N-dimethylmethanamine) exhibits a fungistatic activity with respect to phytopathogenic fungi Rhizoctonia solani.     

Synthesis and structure of the cobalt(II) coordination compounds with <Emphasis Type="Italic">N,N</Emphasis>-dimethyl-<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>′,<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>′-dimethylthiocarbamoylsulfenamide

The CoLX₂ complexes were obtained by the reaction of N,N-dimethyl-N′,N′-dimethylthio-carbamoylsulfenamide (L) with CoX₂ (X = Cl, Br, I, NCS). The complexes were investigated by elemental and X-ray analysis, IR, ¹H NMR, and electron spectroscopy, conductometry, magnetochemistry, thermogravimetry. It is found that these compounds are high-spin complexes of pseudotetraedral structure with bidentate coordination of L through the thione sulfur atom and sulfenamide nitrogen atom.     

Novel mixed-ligand complexes of coumarilate/<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>,<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>′-diethylnicotinamide with some transition metals

Coordination complexes of transition metal cations (Co^II, Ni^II, Cu^II and Zn^II) containing coumarilate and N,N′-diethylnicotinamide were synthesized. The structural characterization and thermal behaviour analysis of novel samples synthesized were conducted through elemental analysis, magnetic susceptibility, solid-state UV–Vis, direct and injection probe mass spectra, FTIR spectra, thermoanalytic TG-DTG/DTA and single crystal X-ray diffraction methods. The structural details of single crystals of [Co(dena)₂(H₂O)₄](coum)₂ (I) and [Cu(coum)₂(dena)₂(H₂O)₂] (III) complexes were resolved completely. Moreover, the results of analysis obtained for [Ni(coum)₂(dena)₂(H₂O)₂] (II) and [Zn(dena)₂(H₂O)₄](coum)₂ (IV) complexes were interpreted considering the samples with crystal structures defined and made assumptions about the structural details. It was determined that the complex of Co^II metal cation has salt-type structure and the coordination number of metal is accomplished to six as the sum of 4 mol of water and also 2 mol of N,N′-diethylnicotinamide ligands in trans position located within the coordination sphere. It was observed that 2 mol of coumarilate anions are located outside the coordination sphere and have stabilized to the charge (2+) of metal. The Cu^II complex has totally molecular structure, and the coordination sphere of metal cation was 6 as the sum of 2 mol of water, 2 mol of N,N′-diethylnicotinamide and 2 mol of monoanionic monodentate coumarilate ligands. All ligands have been located in –trans position. The geometry of both complex structures is distorted octahedral. It is assumed that the Ni^II complex structure is isostructural with Cu^II complex structure and also does Zn^II complex with Co^II structure. It was determined that the decomposition products obtained from thermal analysis are the oxides of related metal cations.     

Copper(II) complexation and extraction with 2-ethylhexanoic acid <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>′,<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>′-dialkylhydrazides

2-Ethylhexanoic acid N′,N′-dibutylhydrazide (DBH) and N′,N′-diheptylhydrazide (DHH) were synthesized. The existence regions of copper (II), zinc(II), nickel(II), and cobalt(II) complexes formed upon extraction with DBH in kerosene were studied. The neutral complex ML₂ extracted over a wide pH range (from pH ～ 6 to \(c_{NH_3 } \) ～ 4 mol/L) is formed only by copper(II), while zinc(II), nickel(II), and cobalt(II) react with DBH to yield precipitates that float at pH 7–9, 9–10.5, and 9.5–11, respectively. On the basis of IR spectra, elemental analysis, and properties, a structure was suggested for the CuL₂ complex with DBH. The DBH and DHH complexes with copper(II) are readily stripped with H₂SO₄ and H₂SO₄ + CuSO₄ solutions. The capacity of a 1.5 mol/L DHH in kerosene with respect to copper(II) is 26 g/L.

The refraction, dielectric, viscosity, density, data of the binary mixtures of N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMA) with n-butanol at 308.15 and 313.15 K. The measured parameters used to obtain derived properties like Bruggeman factor, molar refraction and excess static dielectric constant, excess inverse relaxation time, excess molar volume and excess viscosity, excess molar refraction. The variation in magnitude with composition and temperature of these quantities has been used to discuss the type, strength and nature of binary interactions. Results confirm that there are strong hydrogen-bond interactions between unlike molecules of DMA+ n-butanol mixtures and that 1: 1 complexes are formed and strength of intermolecular interaction increases with temperature.

Synthesis of <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-nitro-<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>′-(trimethylsilyl)carbodiimide

Nitration of N,N′-bis(trimethylsilyl)carbodiimide with N₂O₅ or (NO₂)₂SiF₆ afforded N-nitro-N´-(trimethylsilyl)carbodiimide, the first representative of N-nitro carbodiimides. Its further nitration led to the release of CO₂, which is presumably formed in the course of N,N´-dinitrocarbodiimide decomposition. The reactions of N-nitro-N´-(trimethylsilyl)carbodiimide with nucleophiles take place both at the tri methylsilyl group (for example, with NH₃) to give nitrocyanamide salts and at the carbodiimide C atom (for example, with Et₂NH) to give the corresponding nitroguan idines.     

SBR composites reinforced with <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-isopropyl-<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>′-phenyl-<Emphasis Type="Italic">P</Emphasis>-phenylenediamine-modified clay

SBR compounds including the N-isopropyl-N’-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine-modified clay(organoclay) were prepared.Effects of modified clay and antioxidant(IPPD) contents on mechanical and rheological properties of SBR composites were studied.FTIR results confirmed that the clay was chemically modified by IPPD and changed into an organoclay.X-ray diffraction(XRD) results confirmed the increase in interlayer distance of the clay due to the insertion of IPPD.Rheological and cure characteristics of SBR compounds were determined using RPA(Rubber Process Analyzer) and rheometer.Scorch time and cure time of SBR compounds decreased with introduction of the organoclay.Mechanical properties and heat aging resistance of the SBR composites were improved significantly by incorporation of the organoclay.

Conditions of vanadium(V) extraction from sulfuric and hydrochloric acid solutions with kerosene solutions of hydrazides and N’,N’-dimethylhydrazides derived from fractions of Versatic 10 and Versatic 1519 branched higher carboxylic acids were studied. Conditions of vanadium(V) back extraction from organic phase were studied. For diluted acid solutions, ratios were found to be [V(V)]: [reagent] = 1: 1 and 1: 5 for sulfuric acid media and 1: 1 and 1: 8 for hydrochloric acid media.     

Pseudo-Polymorphs of <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>,<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>′-Bis(4-nitrophenyl)-2,6-Pyridinedicarboxamide

Three pseudo-polymorphs of N, N′-bis(4-nitrophenyl)-2,6-pyridinedicarboxamide 1 were characterized by X-ray crystallography. The C–H ⋅s O hydrogen bond was found to contribute significantly to the assembly of this host. With the variation of the guest, the host changed the molecular conformation and the supramolecular synthons. In all three cases concerned, the solvent guests were bonded through direct host-guest interaction and accommodated in the voids formed by the assembly of the host.     

Adsorption of <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-hydrocinnamoyl-<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-phenylhydroxylamine on pure minerals

Equilibrium adsorption studies of N-hydrocinnamoyl-N-phenylhydroxylamine (HCNPHA) on galena, sphalerite, pyrite, chalcopyrite and quartz at pH 9 and 10 are reported. All adsorption isotherms followed Langmuir model, however, Freundlich type was observed for quartz. As HCNPHA is a strong chelating agent, formation of monolayers by chemisorption appeared to be the most probable mechanism of adsorption on the base-metal sulphide minerals. Specific adsorption of HCNPHA on iron containing minerals, namely, chalcopyrite and pyrite, was about three times that on galena and sphalerite, and specific adsorption on quartz was the lowest amongst the minerals studied. Specific adsorptions (in μmol/g) of HCNPHA on the minerals at pH 9 are: sphalerite: 30.5; galena: 26.9; chalcopyrite: 112.3; pyrite: 145.4; quartz: 2.9. Compared to pH 9, specific adsorption of HCNPHA on the minerals decreased at pH 10, indicating hydroxylation of mineral sites due to higher hydroxide ion concentration at pH 10. A spectral-colorimetric procedure was developed for the quantitative estimation of HCNPHA. Due to deprotonation of hydroxamic acids direct estimation using UV absorption was not possible. Hence, complexation of HCNPHA with Fe³⁺ was used to develop a purple coloured complex that absorbs in the visible region with λ _max=500 nm. Change in concentration of HCNPHA was measured from absorbance of the HCNPHA- Fe³⁺ complex at 500 nm.     

Converting dipyrrinones to lactim ethers to fluorescent <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>,<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>′-difluoroboryl derivatives

A high-yield straightforward conversion of lactams to lactim ethers is shown by the conversion of (10H)-dipyrrin-1-ones to (11H)-dipyrrin-1-ol methyl and ethyl ethers in 90% yield from heating in neat trimethyl or triethyl phosphite at 160°C. Unlike the parent dipyrrinones, which form intermolecularly hydrogen-bonded dimers in CHCl₃, their lactim ethers are shown to be monomeric by vapor pressure osmometry. The latter react with boron trifluoride etherate to N,N′-bridged BF₂ derivatives that exhibit strong fluorescence (φ_F 0.6–0.8) near 535 nm. X-Ray crystal structures were obtained of the lactim ethyl ether of kryptopyrromethenone and the BF₂ derivative of the lactim ethyl ether 2,3-diethyl-7,8-dimethyl-(10H)-dipyrrin-1-one.

Adsorption-luminescence determination of copper concentration using silica gel chemically modified with <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-(1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-thiol)-<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>′-propylurea groups

Silica gel chemically modified with 1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-thiol groups recovered 99% of the copper(II) from solutions of pH 4–6; the adsorption equilibrium was attained in no more than 5 minutes. During irradiation with ultraviolet light, a yellow-orange luminescence (λ_max = 575 nm) of surface copper complexes appeared in the phase of adsorbent cooled to 77 K; it was used as an analytical signal in the procedure for the low-temperature adsorption-luminescence determination of copper concentration. The detection limit was 0.3 μ g/0.1 g adsorbent. The calibration graph was linear up to 50 μg/0.1 g adsorbent. The determination of copper concentration is not affected by 10000-fold amounts of Zn(II), Cd(II), Mn(II), Co(II), Ca(II), Mg(II), and Al(III) and 300-fold amounts of Fe(III). The procedure was used to determine copper concentration in natural and technogenic waters.     

Chain mechanism of the reactions of <Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>,<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>′-diphenyl-1,4-benzoquinone diimine with thiophenol and 1-decanethiol

The kinetics of the reactions of N,N′-diphenyl-1,4-benzoquinone diimine with thiophenol and 1-decanethiol in chlorobenzene at 343 K has been investigated spectrophotometrically in an argon atmosphere with monitoring of the disappearance of quinone diimine as its absorbance in the visible range. The acceleration of the reactions in the presence of initiators—tetraphenylhydrazine and azobisisobutyronitrile—indicates that the reactions proceed via a chain mechanism under the chosen experimental conditions. The chain length of the reactions in the absence of an initiator is estimated: ν ≈ 10 units in the reaction of quinone diimine with thiophenol and ν ≈ 100 units in the reaction with 1-decanethiol at a quinone diimine concentration of about 10⁻⁴ mol/L and thiol concentrations of about 10⁻³ mol/L. The dependence of the kinetic parameters of the initiated reaction on the thiophenol concentration suggests that the reaction of the thiyl radical with quinone diimine is the rate-determining step of chain propagation. The rate constant of this reaction is estimated at k _pr = 3.2 × 10⁵ L mol⁻¹ s⁻¹. The rates of chain initiation due to the direct interaction of the initial reactants are estimated. In these reactions, the homolytic cleavage of the S-H bond occurs in the thiol, due to which, other conditions being equal, the radical formation rate in the quinone diiminethiophenol system is at least two orders of magnitude higher than that in the quinone diimine-1-decanethiol, in which the strength of S-H bond is higher. A radical chain mechanism is proposed for the reaction of quinone diimine with the thiols on the basis of the data obtained.
