[Cu(men)2(BF4)2] (men = N-methyl-1,2-diaminoethane): Preparation, crystal structure, spectroscopic and magnetic properties

Single crystals of [Cu(men)₂(BF₄)₂] (men = N-methyl-1,2-diaminoethane) (1) were isolated from an aqueous-ethanolic system Cu²⁺-men-BF₄⁻. The crystal structure of 1 consists of [Cu(men)₂(BF₄)₂] molecules. Copper ion exhibits usual distorted octahedral coordination; there are two coordinated men ligands in the equatorial plane with Cu-N bonds of 2.0451(12) and 2.0035(12) Å, while the axial positions are occupied by fluorine atoms from BF₄⁻ anions with Cu-F bond of 2.5091(11) Å. The packing of the [Cu(men)₂(BF₄)₂] molecules is governed by N-H?F type hydrogen bonds. The measured ESR spectrum corroborated the presence of Jahn-Teller anisotropy of Cu(II) with g_|| = 2.20 and g_⊥ = 2.06. The magnetic studies in the temperature range 300-2 K reveal that 1 follows the Curie-Weiss law with parameters g = 2.1612(1) and θ = −0.233(1) K suggesting the presence of weak antiferomagnetic interactions.     

Syntheses, structures and Raman spectra of Cd(BF4)(AF6) (A = Ta, Bi) compounds

The compounds, Cd(BF₄)(TaF₆) and Cd(BF₄)(BiF₆), have been synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy. Both isostructural compounds crystallize in the monoclinic P2₁/c space group with a = 8.2700(6) Å, b = 9.3691(6) Å, c = 8.8896(7) Å, β = 94.196(3)°, V = 686.94(9) Å³ for Cd(BF₄)(TaF₆) and a = 8.3412(8) Å, b = 9.4062(8) Å, c = 8.9570(7) Å, β = 93.320(5)°, V = 701.58(11) Å³ for Cd(BF₄)(BiF₆). Eight fluorine atoms (4 BF₄⁻ + 4 AF₆⁻) form a surrounding around the cadmium atom in the shape of distorted square antiprism. These compounds are not isostructural with mixed-anion analogues of Ca, Sr, Ba and Pb studied earlier.     

Rapid determination of bromide in seawater samples by capillary ion chromatography using monolithic silica columns modified with cetyltrimethylammonium ion

Monolithic silica capillary columns dynamically modified with quaternary ammonium ions were evaluated for the determination of bromide in seawater samples. A quaternary ammonium ion such as cetyltrimethylammonium ion was dynamically introduced onto monolithic silica surfaces. The first layer of the modifier was introduced by electrostatic interaction, whereas the second layer was introduced by hydrophobic interaction. The latter layer worked as the anion-exchange sites. The modified monolithic silica capillary columns could be used for rapid separation of inorganic anions. Separation of authentic mixture of five anions was achieved within a few minutes. The addition of small amount of the modifier in the eluent improved the repeatability of the retention time. Seawater samples could be directly injected onto the prepared capillary columns, and bromide could be determined to be 63 mg/L.     

Syntheses, crystal structures and Raman spectra of Ba(BF4)(PF6), Ba(BF4)(AsF6) and Ba2(BF4)2(AsF6)(H3F4); the first examples of metal salts containing simultaneously tetrahedral BF4 and octahedral AF6 anions

In the system BaF₂/BF₃/PF₅/anhydrous hydrogen fluoride (aHF) a compound Ba(BF₄)(PF₆) was isolated and characterized by Raman spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction on the single crystal. Ba(BF₄)(PF₆) crystallizes in a hexagonal space group with a=10.2251(4) Å, c=6.1535(4) Å, V=557.17(5) Å³ at 200 K, and Z=3. Both crystallographically independent Ba atoms possess coordination polyhedra in the shape of tri-capped trigonal prisms, which include F atoms from BF₄⁻ and PF₆⁻ anions. In the analogous system with AsF₅ instead of PF₅ the compound Ba(BF₄)(AsF₆) was isolated and characterized. It crystallizes in an orthorhombic Pnma space group with a=10.415(2) Å, b=6.325(3) Å, c=11.8297(17) Å, V=779.3(4) Å³ at 200 K, and Z=4. The coordination around Ba atom is in the shape of slightly distorted tri-capped trigonal prism which includes five F atoms from AsF₆⁻ and four F atoms from BF₄⁻ anions. When the system BaF₂/BF₃/AsF₅/aHF is made basic with an extra addition of BaF₂, the compound Ba₂(BF₄)₂(AsF₆)(H₃F₄) was obtained. It crystallizes in a hexagonal P6₃/mmc space group with a=6.8709(9) Å, c=17.327(8) Å, V=708.4(4) Å³ at 200 K, and Z=2. The barium environment in the shape of tetra-capped distorted trigonal prism involves 10 F atoms from four BF₄⁻, three AsF₆⁻ and three H₃F₄⁻ anions. All F atoms, except the central atom in H₃F₄ moiety, act as μ₂-bridges yielding a complex 3-D structural network.     

A new tool for inorganic nitrogen speciation study: simultaneous determination of ammonium ion, nitrite and nitrate by ion chromatography with post-column ammonium derivatization by Nessler reagent and diode-array detection in rain water samples

The paper presents a new method for a simultaneous determination of inorganic nitrogen species in the oxidized (NO₂⁻, NO₃⁻) and reduced (NH₄⁺) form in rain water samples. The method is based on a system of nitrogen species separation employing ion exchange and diode-array detection. The ions are separated in a strong ion-exchanger, nitrites and nitrates are determined directly at 208 and 205 nm, respectively, while the ammonium ions are determined in the column hold-up time after a post-column derivatization by the Nessler reagent, at 425 nm. The use of a diode-array detector permits a simultaneous identification of the inorganic nitrogen species in 8 min. The detection limits obtained are: NO₂⁻, 0.1 mg L⁻¹; NO₃⁻, 0.05 mg L⁻¹; NH₄⁺, 1 mg L⁻¹. The method proposed has been successfully used for speciation analysis of inorganic nitrogen in precipitation.     

Preconcentration/preelution ion chromatography for the determination of perchlorate in complex samples

The determination of perchlorate in complex matrices by ion chromatography (IC) with an online preconcentration and preelution technique is discussed. The method was applied to different sample types containing large concentrations of matrix anions that would otherwise interfere with analysis via conventional IC. The present approach was highly effective in removing most of the matrix anions and was thus resistant to the interferences commonly encountered in a high ionic strength background. Method performance was evaluated by analyzing for low-level perchlorate in synthetic high ionic strength solutions, tissue extracts, and hydroponic nitrate fertilizer samples. Not only is it easier to practice the present method compared to USEPA Method 314.0, but for most of these samples the present approach provided equal to or better recovery of perchlorate than Method 314.0. With a sample of specific conductance 12,650 μS cm⁻¹, for example, the present method provided a perchlorate recovery of 101% at the 25 μg L⁻¹ level versus 89% by EPA Method 314.0. Method detection limits of perchlorate in hydroponic fertilizer samples with this method (130-190 μg kg⁻¹) are the lowest thus far reported.

The crystal and molecular structure of triphenylphosphoniodithio-carboxylato-ss'-carbonylbis (trikphenylphosphine) iridium(I) tetrafluoroborate [Ir(S2CPPh3) (CO) (PPh3)2]BF4.

Crystal and molecular structures of the title compound have been determined from a three-dimensional X-ray analysis using diffractometer data. The crystals are monoclinic, space group P2₁/c, with Z = 4 in a unit cell of dimensions a = 10.5876(9), b = 31.518(10), c = 16.2164(5) Å, β = 92.521(1)°. The observed and calculated densities are 1.38 and 1.374 g cm^-1 respectively. The crystals decompose under X-rays, and three crystals were required to complete data collection. The structure was solved and refined by convetional methods to final residuals R and R_w of 0.087 and 0.107 respectively.The crystals contain monomeric cations, and BF₄ anions. The iridium atom is in a distorted trigonal bipyramidal environment consisting of the two sulphur atoms (one axial, one equatorial) of a bidentate triphenylphosphoniodi-thiocarboxylate ligand, two triphenylphosphine groups (equatorial) and the carbonyl ligand (axial). The non-equivalent Ir-s distances are 2.377 and 2.307(5) Å, the Ir-P distances are 2.334, 2.331(5) Å. Within the zwitterion, the C-S distances are 1.66 and 1.70(2) Å, while P-C is 1.78(2) Å. The condensation of PPh₃ and CS₂ to form the PH₃P⁺-CS₂ zwitterion is in contrast to that predicted previously.It is probable that the other complexes of iridium and rhodium prepared in a similar manner [2] should now be reformulated as containing Ph₃P⁺-CS₂^- ligands.     

强碱阴离子交换树脂及碱性洗脱剂的离子排阻/阴离子交换色谱法同时测定NH4+ ，NO2-和NO3-（英文）

Ion-exclusion/anion-exchange chromatography(IEC/AEC) on a combination of a strongly basic anion-exchange resin in the OH——form with basic eluent has been developed.The separation mechanism is based on the ion-exclusion/penetration effect for cations and the anion-exchange effect for anions to anion-exchange resin phase.This system is useful for simultaneous separation and determination of ammonium ion(NH+4),nitrite ion(NO-2),and nitrate ion(NO-3) in water samples.The resolution of analyte ions can be manipulated by changing the concentration of base in eluent on a polystyrene-divinylbenzene based strongly basic anion-exchange resin column.In this study,several separation columns,which consisted of different particle sizes,different functional groups and different anion-exchange capacities,were compared.As the results,the separation column with the smaller anion-exchange capacity(TSKgel Super IC-Anion) showed well-resolved separation of cations and anions.In the optimization of the basic eluent,lithium hydroxide(LiOH) was used as the eluent and the optimal concentration was concluded to be 2 mmol/L,considering the resolution of analyte ions and the whole retention times.In the optimal conditions,the relative standard deviations of the peak areas and the retention times of NH+4,NO-2,and NO-3 ranged 1.28%-3.57% and 0.54%-1.55%,respectively.The limits of detection at signal-to-noise of 3 were 4.10 μmol/L for NH+4,1.87 μmol/L for NO-2 and 2.83 μmol/L for NO-3.     

A simple method for the study of salbutamol pharmacokinetics by ion chromatography with direct conductivity detection

A simple method for the study of the pharmacokinetics of salbutamol using ion chromatography with direct conductivity detection without chemical suppression is presented in this paper. Baseline separation of salbutamol from plasma components was achieved by using diluted HNO₃ (2 mmol l⁻¹) as mobile phase with acetonitrile (6%, v/v) as modifier. Atenolol was utilized as internal standard. Under the optimal conditions, the linear regression coefficients of the calibration curves are 0.996 within the concentration range of 1000-3 ng ml⁻¹ salbutamol. The detection limit (signal-to-noise ratio = 3) was 1 ng ml⁻¹ salbutamol. The noncompartmental pharmacokinetic parameters for salbutamol following administration of 8 mg salbutamol to 18 subjects were tested. The results coincided most satisfactorily with the results obtained by using reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with fluorescence detection.     

Synthesis of boron suboxide (B6O) with ball milled boron oxide (B2O3) under lower pressure and temperature

Boron reacted with ball milled boron oxide under pressures between 1 and 5 GPa and at temperatures between 1300 and 1700 °C to afford boron suboxide (B₆O). Icosahedral B₆O grains with diameters ranging from 100 nm to 1.3 μm were prepared. The factors that affect the synthesis of B₆O are investigated. The best sample with crystal size up to 1.3 μm is obtained at 2 GPa and 1400 °C for 6 h. The indentation experiment gave an average Vickers hardness of 32.3 GPa for bulk B₆O sample, which is consistent with previous reports. Bulk B₆O sample exhibits oxidation resistance in air up to 1000 °C and mild oxidation in the temperatures of 1000-1200 °C, which is more oxidation resistant than diamond. It is possible that B₆O could be used as a substitute for diamond in industry because of its relatively mild synthesis conditions, high thermal stability and high hardness.

Simultaneous determination of Cr(III) and Cr(VI) with prechelation of Cr(III) using phthalate by ion interaction chromatography with a C-18 column

Ion interaction chromatography has been successfully used for the simultaneous determination of Cr(III) and Cr(VI) in waste water. A C-18 column which had been dynamically coated with octylamine was used for the separation of Cr(III) and Cr(VI) based on anionic interaction. Cr(III) was chelated with potassium hydrogen phthalate (KHP) before injecting into the column since the Cr(III) did not exist in an anionic form like the Cr(VI) (Cr₂O₇²⁻) presented at the optimum condition. The analytes were detected at 200 nm and linear relationship between absorption with the concentration of Cr(III) or Cr(VI) was 0.1-50 mg/L. Most of the interested interferences including alkali metals, heavy metals and organic materials have no significant effect on Cr(III)-KHP complexation and Cr(VI) stability, only NH₄⁺ and ascorbic acid yielded the serious effect on the Cr(VI) stability. The relative standard deviations calculated from both of peak area and retention time were 0.75-2.20%. The sensitivity of the method at the level concentration of sub mg/L enabled the simultaneous determination of Cr(III) and Cr(VI) contents in waste water samples without any special sample preparation step.     

Simultaneous determination of amino acids and carbohydrates in culture media of Clostridium thermocellum by valve-switching ion chromatography

An improved method for the simultaneous determination of 20 amino acids and 7 carbohydrates using one-valve switching after injection, ion chromatography, and integrated pulsed amperometric detection is proposed. The resolution of the amino acids and carbohydrates in the cation trap column was investigated. In addition, parameters including flow liquid type, flow rate, concentration, and valve-switch timing were optimized. The method is time-saving, effective, and accurate for the simultaneous separation of amino acids and carbohydrates, with a mean correlation coefficient of >0.99 and repeatability of 0.5–4.6% for eight replicates. The method was successfully applied in the analysis of amino acids and carbohydrates in aseptic media and in extracellular culture media of three phenotypes of Clostridium thermocellum.
