Investigation of A New Catalytic Reaction of Complex Formation of Cobalt (III) With Nitroso-R-Salt for the Determination of Microquantities of Phosphate-Ions

ABSTRACT

The catalytic action of phosphate-ions on the reaction of complex formation of cobalt (III) with nitroso-R-salt in a weakly acid medium has been found. The dependence of the rate of the catalytic reaction on temperature, concentrations of reagents and catalyst, pH of the medium, as well as on the presence of some anion and non-ion surface-active substances and accompanying inorganic minerals was studied. The optimum conditions for the determination of 0.1 μg/ml PO^3- ₄ in water were determined. A technique for the determination of phosphate-ion impurity up to 9×10^-5% in the high-purity sodium iodide and 2×10^-4% cesium iodide used for the single crystals growth is suggested.     

Synthesis, properties, and structure of dimethylgold(III) complexes [(CH3)2AuI]2 and (CH3)2AuS2CN(C2H5)2

Volatile diethyldithiocarbamate of dimethylgold(III) was prepared by the interaction of dimethylgold(III) iodide with sodium diethyldithiocarbamate. The complex is examined by the elemental analysis, DTA, IR and electronic spectroscopy. The starting dimeric complex [(CH₃)₂AuI]₂ and a novel monomeric volatile gold(III) complex (CH₃)₂AuS₂CN(C₂H₅)₂ with the AuC₂S₂ coordination core were investigated by single crystal X-ray diffraction for the first time.     

Heterocyclic variants of the 1,5-benzodiazepine system. V. Derivatives of 2-(ortho-R1-anilino)-4-(p-R2-phenyl)-3H-1,5-benzodiazepines

Mono-N-methylation of 2-(ortho-R₁-anilino)-4-(p-R₂-phenyl)-3H-1,5-benzodiazepines IV is achieved in moderate yield with sodium hydride in methyl iodide. Reaction of the N-methyl derivatives I with methoxyacetyl chloride gave the compounds II and III . The structure of all products was confirmed by ir, ¹H-nmr and mass spectrometry.     

[(R)-2-Methyl-1,4,7-triazacyclononane] [1,1,1-tris(aminomethyl)ethane]-cobalt(III) and some Mono[(R)-2-methyl-1,4,7-triazacyclononane]-cobalt(III) Complexes

Summary [(R)-2-Methyl-1,4,7-triazacyclononane][1,1,1-tris(aminomethyl)ethane]cobalt(III) has been prepared and separated into two isomers which show weak Cotton effects in the¹A₁¹T₁ region (d-electron transition) compared with that of bis[(R)-2-methyl-1,4,7-triazacyclononane]cobalt(III). The effect is comparable to that of tetraammine[(R)-1,2-diamino propane]cobalt(III). The circular dichroism spectra of the mono complex change markedly upon addition of sodium sulphate. The chelate rings are more flexible in the mono than in the bis complex. Some other related mono[(R)-2-methyl 1,4,7-triazacyclononane]cobalt(III) and [(R)-2-methyl-1,4,7 triazacyclononane][1,1,1-tris(aminomethyl)ethaneI nickel (II) complexes have also been prepared and characterized.     

Redox chemistry of [Fe2(CN)10]4−. Part I. Reaction with iodide

The iron(III) dimeric complex [Fe₂(CN)₁₀]⁴⁻ is reduced to the iron(III)iron(II) species [Fe₂(CN)₁₀]⁵⁻ by iodide ion, the equilibrium constant being strongly dependent upon the nature of the alkali metal cation, reduction being favoured in the sequence: Cs⁺>NH ₄ ⁺ ≥K⁺>Na⁺>Li⁺. The reaction kinetics are autocatalytic in character, the catalytic species being the mixed valence dimer. The rates of reactions are also strongly catalysed by alkali metal cations, in the same sequence as for the equilibrium constants. The reaction mechanism involves the formation of I ₂ ⁻ as a reactive intermediate which can be oxidised by both [Fe₂(CN)₁₀]⁴⁻ and [Fe₂(CN)₁₀]⁵⁻.     

Influence of Triarylamine and Indoline as Donor on Photovoltaic Performance of Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells Employing Cobalt Redox Shuttle

Two organic dyes XS51 and XS52 derivated from triarylamine and indoline are synthesized for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) employing cobalt and iodine redox shuttles. The effects of dye structure upon the photophysical, electro-chemical characteristics and cell performance are investigated. XS51 with four hexyloxyl groups on triarylamine performs better steric hindrance and an improvement of photovoltage. XS52 provides higher short-circuit photocurrent density due to the strong electron-donating capability of indoline unit. The results from the redox electrolyte on cell performances indicate that the synthesized dyes are more suitable for tris(1,10-phenanthroline)cobalt(II/III) redox couple than I^?/I₃^? redox couple in assembling DSCs. Application of XS52 in the cobalt electrolyte yields a DSC with an overall power conversion efficiency of 6.58% under AM 1.5 (100 mW/cm²) irradiation.     

Graphite rod atomization and atomic fluorescence for the simultaneous determination of silver and copper in jet engine oils

S-Methyldithizone(5-methylmercapto-1,5-diphenylformazan) reacts with the chlorides of copper(II), mercury(II) and phenylmercury(II) to give the 1:1 chelates [CuCl(MeDz), HgCl(MeDz) and C₆H₅Hg(MeDz)] and with nickel(II) and palladium(II) to give the 1:2 chelates, M(MeDz)₂. All these complexes are intensely coloured in chloroform solution. No complexes are formed from cobalt(II), manganese(II) or zinc(II) or from the nitrates or acetates of copper and mercury. Coordination increases the reactivity of the sulphur atom in dithizone. Whereas dithizone is unaffected by methyl iodide, nickel dithizonate, Ni(HDz)₂, gives Ni-(MeDz)₂ when heated with methyl iodide in ethanol in the presence of sodium acetate; palladium dithizonate behaves similarly. The 1:1 adduct of nickel dithizonate with 2,2'-bipyridyl gave only Ni(MeDz)₂ on treatment with methyl iodide, and this complex would not form an adduct with bipyridyl. On standing in the light, Ni(MeDz)₂ reacted photochemically to give the yellow isomer of S-methyl-dithizone.     

Kinetics of Reduction of Some Surfactant-Cobalt(III) Complexes by Iron(II)

The electron transfer kinetics of the reaction between the surfactant-cobalt(III) complex ions, cis-[Co(en)₂(C₁₂H₂₅NH₂)₂]³⁺, cis-α-[Co(trien)(C₁₂H₂₅NH₂)₂]³⁺(en:ethylenediamine, trien:triethylenetetramine, C₁₂H₂₅NH₂ : dodecylamine) by iron(II) in aqueous solution was studied at 298, 303, 308 K by spectrophotometry method under pseudo-first-order conditions using an excess of the reductant in self-micelles formed by the oxidant, cobalt(III) complex molecules, themselves. The rate constant of the electron transfer reaction depends on the initial concentration of the surfactant cobalt(III) complexes. ΔS^# also varies with initial concentration of the surfactant cobalt(III) complexes. By assuming outer-sphere mechanism, the results have been explained based on the presence of aggregated structures containing cobalt(III) complexes at the surface of the self-micelles formed by the surfactant cobalt(III) complexes in the reaction medium. The rate constant of each complex increases with initial concentration of one of the reactants surfactant-cobalt(III) complex, which shows that self micelles formed by surfactant-cobalt(III) complex itself has much influence on these reactions. The electron transfer reaction of the surfactant-cobalt(III) complexes was also carried out in a medium of various concentrations of β-cyclodextrin. β-cyclodextrin retarded the rate of the reaction.     

Redox properties of cobalt(II) and methylcobalt(III) complexes with dianionic macrocyclic polychelate ligands

Redox potentials of a series of complexes of cobalt(II) and organocobalt(III) with tetraazamacrocyclic (N₄) and N₂O₂-noncyclic polychelate ligands have been determined by cyclic voltammetry. Introduction of ano-phenylene fragment instead of an ethylene fragment into an equatorial ligand and/or exchange of an N₄-coordination chromophore for the N₂O₂-analog has been shown to result in the anodic shift of redox potentials of MeCo(IV)L/ MeCo(III)L, MeCo(III)L/MeCo(II)L, and Co(II)L/Co(I)L pairs. It has been established that the solvent effect on redox potential is larger for Co(III)L/Co(II)L than for other pairs. Apparently, this is the first case when quasi-reversible stages of oxidation of MeCo(III)L to MeCo(IV)L⁺ and MeCo(IV)L⁺ to [MeCo(IV)L]²⁺ can be simultaneously observed. A. relatively stable complex of methylcobalt(IV) with a long lifetime at 20 °C has been registered by the ESR method.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Synthesis and characterization of tetrahedrally and octahedrally coordinated mixed-valence Co(II)/Co(III) complex with thiosemicarbazone-based ligand

Synthesis, characterization, and X-ray crystal structure for a mixed-valence binuclear Co(II)/Co(III) complex with the dianionic dithiolate form of a pentadentate ligand 2,6-diacetylpyridinebis(thiosemicarbazone) are reported. A new synthetic methodology has been employed replacing usual cobalt(II) salts by [Co(NH₃)₅Cl]Cl₂ as a precursor. The coordination geometry of cobalt(II), CoN₂S₂, was found to be distorted tetrahedral, whereas the cobalt(III) coordination sphere, CoN₄S₂, is slightly distorted octahedral. The magnetic behavior and molar conductivity of the complex are in agreement with the mixed-valence state.     

A DSC study of benzoic acid: a suggested calibrant compound

It has been found that cobalt(II, III) oxide, Co₃O₄, lowers the thermal decomposition temperature of Na₂S₂O₈ and K₂S₂O₈ by about 25°C by catalysis, and it therefore acts as a P-type semiconductor at high temperature and atmospheric (air) pressure. Also, this oxide reacts at high temperature with sodium or potassium pyrosulfates to form thermally stable sodium cobalt disulfate, Na₂Co(SO₄)₂ and potassium cobalt trisulfate, K₂Co₂(SO₄)₃, respectively. Binary systems, consisting of a 1 : 3 mole ratio (oxide : persulfate), are established as representing the solid state stoichiometric reaction. X-Ray diffractometry is employed to identify intermediate and final reaction products in general. All calculations are based on data obtained from TG, DTG and DTA curves.     

Transition metal ion complexes of thiosemicarbazones derived from 2-acetylpyridine. Part 3. The 3-hexamethyleneimine derivative

Summary Metal ion complexes of the thiosemicarbazone, 3-hexamethyleneimine-3-thiocarboxylic acid-2-[1-(2-pyridyl)-ethylidene]hydrazide (HLhexim) have been prepared and spectrally characterized. HLhexim coordinates primarily as the deprotonated tridentate ligand (i.e., pyridylN, azomethineN, and thione sulphur). The air oxidised cobalt(III) complex, [Co(LHexim)₂] (BF₄), was isolated from the preparation with cobalt(II) tetrafluoroborate, but other cobalt(II) salts yielded tetrahedral cobalt(II) compounds. Planar nickel(II) and copper(II) complexes were isolated from preparations with halide salts. Significant differences in the spectral properties of the various complexes are observed when compared to other thiosemicarbazones prepared from 2-acetylpyridine.     

Redox Speciation of Inorganic Arsenic in Water and Saline Samples by Adsorptive Cathodic Stripping Voltammetry in the Presence of Sodium Diethyl Dithiocarbamate

This paper describes a new voltammetric procedure for the inorganic speciation of As(III) and As(V) in water samples. The procedure is based on the chemical reduction of arsenate [As(V)] to arsenite [As(III)] followed by the voltammetric determination of total arsenic as As(III) at the hanging mercury drop electrode (HMDE) by adsorptive cathodic stripping voltammetry (AdCSV) in the presence of sodium diethyl dithiocarbamate (SDDC). The reduction step involved the reaction with a mixture of Na₂S₂O₅ and Na₂S₂O₃ in the concentrations 2.5 and 0.5 mg mL^?1, respectively, and the sample heating at 80 °C for 45 min. The linear range for the determination of total arsenic as As(III) in the presence of SDDC was between 5 and 150 μg L^?1 for a deposition time of 60 s (r=0.992). A detection limit of 1.05 μg L^?1 for total As was calculated for the method in water samples using a deposition time of 60 s. The detection limits of 4.2 μg L^?1 and 15.0 μg L^?1 for total As in seawater and dialysis concentrates, respectively, were calculated using a deposition time of 60 s. The relative standard deviations calculated were 2.5 and 4.0% for five measurements of 20 μg L^?1 As(V) as As(III) in water and dialysis concentrates, respectively, after chemical reduction under optimized conditions. The method was applied for the determination of As(III) and total As in samples of dialysis water, mineral water, seawater and dialysis concentrates. Recovery values between 86.0 and 104.0% for As(III) and As(V) added to the samples prove the satisfactory accuracy and applicability of the procedure for the arsenic monitoring.     

Solvent Extraction of Heavy Metals with a 23-Membered Macrocyclic Ionophore Attached with BF 2 + -Capped Cobalt(III) Complex

A new (E, E)-dioxime cobalt(III) complex [Co(HL)₂pyCl]containing four 23-membered macrocyclic ionophores has beenprepared. The cobalt(III) complex [Co(LBF₂)₂pyCl]bridged with BF₂ ⁺ was prepared using the precursorcobalt(III) complex and boron trifluoride ethyl ethercomplex. The solvent extraction of heavy metal cationssuch as Ni²⁺, Cu²⁺, Zn²⁺, Hg²⁺ and Pb²⁺ by the BF₂ ⁺-capped cobalt(III) complex has been investigated. The structure of the complexes is proposedaccording to elemental analyses, ¹H and ¹³C-NMR, IRand mass spectral data.     

Flotation Separation of Lead with Sodium Nitrate‐Potassium Iodide‐Cetyltrimethyl Ammonium Bromide System

The flotation separation behavior of lead with Sodium Nitrate‐Potassium Iodide‐Cetyltrimethyl Ammonium Bromide system and the conditions for the separation of lead with other metal ions are studied in this research. With 0.1 M potassium iodide, 1.0 × 10^?2 M Cetyltrimethyl Ammonium Bromide and 1.0 g/10 mL of sodium nitrate, Pb(II) can form an ion‐association complex (PbI₄^2?) (CTMAB⁺)₂ and be separated completely from Zn(II), Fe(III), Co(II), Ni(II), Mn(II) and Al(III) by flotation at pH = 1.0–3.0.     

Synthesis,Characterization, and Reactivity of Cobalt(III)–Oxygen Complexes Bearing a Macrocyclic N‐Tetramethylated Cyclam Ligand

Mononuclear metal–dioxygen species are key intermediates that are frequently observed in the catalytic cycles of dioxygen activation by metalloenzymes and their biomimetic compounds. In this work, a side‐on cobalt(III)–peroxo complex bearing a macrocyclic N‐tetramethylated cyclam (TMC) ligand, [Co^III(15‐TMC)(O₂)]⁺, was synthesized and characterized with various spectroscopic methods. Upon protonation, this cobalt(III)–peroxo complex was cleanly converted into an end‐on cobalt(III)–hydroperoxo complex, [Co^III(15‐TMC)(OOH)]²⁺. The cobalt(III)–hydroperoxo complex was further converted to [Co^III(15‐TMC‐CH₂‐O)]²⁺ by hydroxylation of a methyl group of the 15‐TMC ligand. Kinetic studies and ¹⁸O‐labeling experiments proposed that the aliphatic hydroxylation occurred via a Co^IV–oxo (or Co^III–oxyl) species, which was formed by O? O bond homolysis of the cobalt(III)–hydroperoxo complex. In conclusion, we have shown the synthesis, structural and spectroscopic characterization, and reactivities of mononuclear cobalt complexes with peroxo, hydroperoxo, and oxo ligands.     

2-Pyridinamin-Addukte von Übergangsmetall-bis(acetyl-acetonaten) und ihre Reaktionen. Hydrogencarbonat als Chelatligand in cis-(Ampy)2Co(acac)(HCO3)

2-Pyridinamine Adducts of Transition Metal Bis(acetylacetonates) and their Reactions. Hydrogencarbonate as a Chelating Ligand in cis-(Ampy)₂Co(acac)(HCO₃) The reaction of cobalt(II) salts, acetylacetone (acacH), 2-pyridinamine (Ampy), and the carbon dioxide of the air in methanol affords a mixture of (Ampy)₂Co(acac)₂( II ) and (Ampy)₂Co(CO₃)(H₂O)₂. On heating in toluene, appropriately in the presence of carbon dioxide, these complexes are converted into cis-(Ampy)₂Co(acac)(HCO₃) ( III ). Characteristic of compound III is a four-membered ring with the hydrogencarbonate as a bidentate ligand. The two Co? O distances are distinctly different (215.9 and 224.4 pm). In the complexes II and III 2-pyridinamine is a bidentate ligand coordinating by the endo-nitrogen. The Co-n-N bond lengths vary between 210.9 and 225.3 pm. Reasons are both the different trans-influence of the hydrogencarbonate or the acetylacetonato donor atoms and the π-interaction between cobalt(II) and the pyridine ring. This interaction is more significant in the cis-complex III . II and III are stabilized by a system of N? H …? O- and O? H …?O-bridges. With nickel(II) complexes analogous to II and III were obtained, while only the type II was characterized for manganese( II ).     

Synthesis,Structure, and Redox Chemistry of a Vitamin-B12s-Related Macrocyclic Complex of Cobalt(I)

(±)-[1-hydro-8H-HDP]cobalt(I) 1

1 Full name of 1: [2,2,3,3,7,7,8,8,12,12,13,13,17,17,18,18,-hexadecamethyl-2,3,7,8,12,13,17,18,-octahydro-1H,23H-10,20-diaza-porphinato]cobalt(I); full name of 2a : dibromo[2,2,3,3,7,7,8,8,12,12,13,13,17,17,18,18-hexadecamethyl-2,3,7,8,12,13,17,18-octahydro-1H,21H-10,20-diazaporphinato]cobalt(III).

is obtained by chemical or electrochemical four-electron reduction of (±)-dibromo- or (±)-dicano[1-hydroxy-8H-HDP]cobalt(III) 2a or 2b ⁴, respectively. The crystal nad molecular structure of 1 was determined by combination of X-ray analysis and MS, ¹H-, and ¹³C-NMR spectroscopy. Square-planar coordinated Co(I) lies closely to the best plane through the four N-atoms which form the first coordination sphere. Thermodynamic data for the coordination of axial bases with the cation of [1-hydroxy-8H-HDP]cobalt 2 in its different metal oxidation states were determined. The pathway of the overall four-electron reduction of 2a to 1 was elucidated: it involves a two-electron reduction of the central metal, a two-electron reduction of the macrocycle accompanied by elimination of the OH-group and final protonation at C(1). Evidence for an intramolecular electron transfer between the central metal and the macrocycle is presented.     

Synthesis and Investigation of Geometrical Isomerism of Trinitro(aminoacidato)amminecobaltate(III) Complex Salts

Synthesis of a new class of coordination compounds of cobalt(III) with amino acids (glycine, alanine, α-amino-butyric acid and norvaline), i.e., trinitro(aminoacidato)-amminecobaltate(III) salts, M[CoNH₃Am(NO₂)₃], is described. The synthesis consists in the action of amino acid alkali salts on the Erdmann salt or peripheral isomer of trinitrotriamminecobalt(III). The same compounds were also obtained by direct synthesis, i.e., by hydrogen peroxide oxidation of cobalt(II) to cobalt(III) in the presence of the corresponding ligands. The peripheral configuration of the complexes obtained was determined by chemical and physical methods (electronic and PMR spectroscopy). The compounds are intermediates formed in obtaining of dinitrobis(aminoacidato)cobaltate(III) salts by the reaction of amino acids with the Erdmann salt or peripheral isomer of trinitrotriamminecobalt(III).     

Characterization of complexes involved in the spectrophotometric determination of cobalt with 4-(2-pyridylazo)resorcinol

Complex species involved in the spectrophotometric determination of cobalt with 4-(2-pyridylazo)resorcinol (PAR = H₂R) were studied in solution and in the solid state. An anionic [Co(III)R₂]^- species was extracted from aqueous solution in chloroform by tetraphenylarsonium or tetraphenylphosphonium chloride. Stable tetraphenylarsonium and tetraphenylphosphonium salts of di-4-(2-pyridylazo)resorcinolo cobaltate(III) with the formula [(C₆H₅)₄X][Co(III)R₂] where X=As.P; and R=C₁₁H₇N₃O₂^2-, were isolated from the chloroform phase. The complexes were characterized by elemental analyses, visible, i.r., p.m.r., e.s.r. spectra, x-ray powder photographs, magnetic susceptibility and conductivity measurements. The spectral evidence and magnetic properties indicate a tridentate coordination of two 4-(2-pyridylazo) resorcinol dibasic anions, bonded to cobalt(III) in a symmetric arrangement with both azo groups coordinated to the cobalt atom through a single nitrogen lone pair.
