In-Situ Separation and Determination of Palladium from Platinum Based on Different Vaporization Temperatures by Electrothermal Vaporization Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometry with YPA4 Resin Acting Both as Adsorption Material and Chemical Modifier

A new method has been developed for in-situ separation of Pd from a Pt matrix and determination of trace Pd based on different vaporization temperatures by electrothermal vaporization (ETV) inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) with the use of polythioether backbone modified with a diaminoisopropylmercaptane chelating group (YPA₄), both as solid phase extractant and chemical modifier. In 0.5M HNO₃, Pd and Pt can be adsorbed by YPA₄. The resin loaded with Pd and Pt was then prepared to form a slurry that can be directly introduced into the graphite furnace without any pretreatment. The factors affecting in-situ separation of Pd from the Pt matrix were investigated in detail. It was found that, in the presence of YPA₄, Pd could be quantitatively vaporized at lower vaporization temperatures (1800°C–1900°C), while Pt could not be vaporized from the graphite furnace at the same temperature, its quantitative vaporization temperature being 2600°C. Based on the different vaporization temperatures, in-situ separation of Pd from the Pt matrix and determination of trace Pd by ETV-ICP-OES was achieved in the temperature range of 1800°C–1900°C. Under the optimized conditions, the detection limit (3) of Pd is 60pg, and the relative standard deviation (RSD) is 5.6% (n=9, C=0.2µgmL^–1). The method has been applied to the determination of trace Pd in anode slime and Auto Catalyst NIST SRM 2557 reference material, and the determined values coincide with the certified values.     

Thermodynamic and 13C NMR Studies of the Inclusion Complexes of α- and β-Cyclodextrins with Cyano- and Nitrophenols in Aqueous Solution

Equilibrium constants for the formation of 1 : 1 inclusioncomplexes of -cyclodextrin (-CD) with neutral and anionic phenol derivatives (3- and 4-cyanophenols and 3- and 4-nitrophenols) have been evaluated at 5, 12, 25, and 35 °C by means of spectrophotometry. Similarly, the equilibrium constants have been determined for the inclusion complexes of-cyclodextrin (-CD) with the phenols. Enthalpy and entropy changes for the formationof the inclusion complexes have been estimated from the temperature dependences of theequilibrium constants. With -CD, the enthalpy andentropy changes for the anionic species have been found to be more negative than those for the neutral ones, except for 4-cyanophenol, suggesting that the inclusion complexes of the anionic species are more rigid than those of the neutral species. From analyses of chemical shift differences in ¹³C NMR spectra of 3- and 4-cyanophenolsand 3- and 4-nitrophenols in aqueous solutions with and without CDs, a nitro ora cyano group has been found to be first bound to the - and -CD cavities.     

Ion Mobility and Electrophysical Properties of Potassium Hexafluorozirconate K2ZrF6

In our ¹⁹F NMR and impedance spectroscopy study, we investigated the mobility of fluoride ions (270-550 K) in polycrystalline K₂ZrF₆. A structural phase transition was found for K₂ZrF₆ in the temperature range of 513 to 518 K. The high-temperature -K₂ZrF₆ modification is characterized by translational diffusion of the fluoride ions and uniaxial anisotropy of the ¹⁹F nuclear magnetic screening tensor. The electrophysical characteristics of K₂ZrF₆ were investigated in the temperature range of 300 to 560 K. It is established that the -K₂ZrF₆ phase is characterized by high ionic (superionic) conductivity above 540 K ( 3.2× 10^-4 S/cm, T=560 K).     

Spectroscopic Study of the Inclusion Complexes of Phenylbutazone and Oxyphenbutazone with Cyclodextrins in Polar Reaction Media

The formation of inclusion complexes of -, -, hydroxypropyl-- (HP--) and -cyclodextrins with phenylbutazone and oxyphenbutazone has been studied in aqueous buffer solution (pH 7.5 and 0.1 mol dm^-3 NaCl), dimethylsulfoxide, and 25, 50 and 75% dimethylsulfoxide/water mixtures. These complexation reactions have been followed by UV electronic absorption spectroscopy. In addition, 1D and 2D ¹H NMR spectra were recorded to obtain structural information about the inclusion complexes formed in solution; 136 binding constant values were determined at five different temperatures (288, 293, 298, 303 and 310 K) from the electronic absorption data and, from these H_binding and S_binding values were obtained. At the studied cyclodextrin and guest concentration ranges, 1 : 1 inclusion complexes were detected. Only in three cases were 1 : 2 complexes detected, those of phenylbutazone and oxyphenbutazone with -cyclodextrin in aqueous, and oxyphenbutazone with hydroxypropyl--cyclodextrin in 75% dimethylsulfoxide/water solutions.     

Thermodynamics of protonation of amino acid carboxylate groups from 50 to 125°C

Flow calorimetry has been used to study the interaction of glycine, DL--alanine, DL-2-aminobutyric acid, -alanine, 4-aminobutyric acid, and 6-aminocaproic acid with protons in aqueous solutions from 323.15 K to 398.15 K and at 1.52 MPa. LogK, H°, S°, and C _p ^° for the protonation of the carboxylate groups of these amino acids have been obtained at each temperature studied. Equations are given expressing these values as functions of temperature. The protonation reactions are exothermic at lower temperatures and become endothermic as temperature increases. The logK, H°, and S° values are close together over the temperature range studied for the protonation of -amino acids, i.e., glycine, DL--alanine, and 2-aminobutyric acid. At each temperature, the magnitudes of these thermodynamic quantities increase as the number of methylene groups between the amino group and the carboxylate group increases. The C _p ^° value for the protonation of the carboxyl group is found to lie between those of an isocoulombic reaction and a charge reduction reaction. At 323.15 K, the protonation reactions of the carboxylate groups have larger C _p ^° values which approach those associated with charge reduction reactions. As the temperature increases, C _p ^° decreases and approaches those found for isocoulombic reactions. This result is explained by considering long-range and short-range solvent effects. The trend in H° and S° with temperature and with charge separation in the zwitterions is interpreted in terms of solvent-solute interactions and the electrostatic interaction of the two oppositely charged groups within the molecule.     

Thermal decomposition of iron(II) sulphate in air. IV

Heats of decomposition and formation of various hydrates of iron(II) sulphate have been presented and discussed. The heat of dehydration of the monohydrate calculated from the DTA curves (50.2 kJ/mole) appears to be lower than the expected value. The value calculated from the heats of formation (79.4 kJ/mole) is therefore taken as the more accurate value.

Zusammenfassung Die Zersetzungs- und Bildungswärmen verschiedener Hydrate der Eisen(II)sulfate wurden aufgeführt und diskutiert. Die aus den DTA-Kurven berechnete Dehydratisierungswärme (50.2 kJ) des Monohydrats scheint niedriger zu sein als der erwartete Wert. Der aus den Bildungswärmen berechnete Wert (80.1) kJ) wird deshalb als der exaktere Wert angenommen.

Determination of enthalpy of ionization of water from 250 to 350° C

The enthalpy changes at zero ionic strength (H°) for the ionization of water (H₂O=H⁺+OH^–) were determined by flow calorimetry from the heats of mixing of aqueous NaOH and HCl solutions in the temperature range 250 to 350°C. Pitzer ion-interaction models developed by other workers were used to calculate enthalpies of dilution of aqueous NaOH, HCl, and NaCl solutions for the extrapolation of H values from the conditions of the experiment to infinite dilution. Equations are derived for thermodynamic quantities (log K, H°, S°, C _p ^° and V°) for the ionization of water using the H° values determined in this study from 250 to 350°C and literature log K and H° values from 0 to 225°C. Smoothed values of log K, H°, S°, C _p ^° , and V° are presented at rounded temperatures from 0 to 350°C and at the saturation pressure of water for each temperature. The equations in the present study provide a better representation of experimental thermodynamic data from 0 to 350°C than the Marshall-Franck equation.     

Determination of the Association Constant of 6-Thiopurine and Chitosan Grafted β-Cyclodextrin

The equilibrium constants (K) for the inclusion complex formationof -cyclodextrin (-CD) with Methyl Orange (MO) and substituted azoanilinium chlorides were determinedspectrophotometrically. Based on the results, the substituent effecton the inclusion complexation of -CD with azoanilinium chlorides was discussed indetail. Further, the solvent effects on the inclusion complexation of MO with -CD andheptakis(2,6-di-O-methyl)--cyclodextrin (DM--CD) wereexamined in aqueous organic mixtures with water-miscible organic compounds(dimethylsulfoxide, acetonitrile, N,N-dimethylformamide, and acetone). It was found that the K value for the inclusion complexformation with -CD and DM--CD decreases remarkably with increasing ratioof organic solvents, dependent of the surface tension of solvent mixtures.     

Strain Energies of α-Alkylsubstituted Styrenes, 1,1-Di-phenyl-ethene,Tri-, and Tetra-phenyl-ethene

The standard (p° = 0.1 MPa) molar enthalpies of formation _fH°_m (1 or cr) at the temperature T = 298.15 K were determined by using combustion calorimetry for -ethyl-styrene (A), -iso-propyl-styrene (B), -tert-butyl-styrene (C), 1,1-di-phenyl-ethene (D), tri-phenyl-ethene (E), and tetra-phenyl-ethene (F). The standard molar enthalpies of vaporization _l ^g H°_m or sublimation _cr ^g H°_m of compounds A to F were obtained from the temperature variation of the vapor pressure measured in a flow system. Molar enthalpies of fusion _cr ^l H°_m of solid compounds were measured by d.s.c. Resulting values of _fH°_m (g) were obtained at the temperature T = 298.15 K and used to derive strain enthalpies of phenylalkenes. The interactions of the substituents are discussed in terms of deviations of _fH°_m (g)from the group additivity rules. These values provide a further improvement on the group-contribution methodology for estimation of the thermodynamic properties of organic compounds.     

1H-NMR Investigation of the Binding of 2-Methylnaphthalene to α-Cyclodextrin in D2O Solutions

As -cyclodextrin (-CD) was added to D₂Osolutions of 2-methylnaphthalene, its proton signals shifted to lower fieldsat low concentrations of -CD. At 2.0 × 10^-2 moldm^-3 of -CD, however, a reverse, higher-field shift wasobserved for the H-8 signal, indicating the formation of 1 : 1 and 2 : 1-CD–2-methylnaphthalene inclusion complexes. Intrinsic chemicalshift differences of all the protons in 2-methylnaphthalene have beenevaluated for both the 1 : 1 and the 2 : 1-CD–2-methylnaphthalene inclusion complexes. These intrinsicchemical shift differences suggest that the first -CD molecule has noselectivity in accommodating one end of uncomplexed 2-methylnaphthalene;-CD binds to a methyl group, as well as a naphthalene ring-end havingno methyl group, to form the 1 : 1 inclusion complex, resulting in theformation of two kinds of 1 : 1 complexes.     

Polymorphism of Inclusion Complexes and Unsolvated Hosts. I. Trimorphism of the Host-Guest Complex of Gossypol with Dichloromethane. The Structure of the β-Phase

The formation of host-guest complexes of gossypol at different temperatures has been investigated for the same pressure and concentration. Gossypol forms three different clathrates with dichloromethane within the temperature interval of 22-36 °C. Single crystals of these three modifications (phases) were obtained and their crystallographic parameters measured. The structure of the -phase has been determined previously and the -phase is isostructural to the inclusion complex of gossypol with benzene, while the structure of the -phase has been solved during the present research. Crystals of C30H30O8·CH2Cl2 are triclinic, space group P1, a = 8.604(1), b = 11.858(2), c = 14.405(2) (Å), = 84.60(1), = 89.14(1), = 89.73(1)°, V = 1463(1) Å3, Z = 2, R = 0.089 for 2419 observed reflections.Under ambient conditions gossypol forms unstable tubulates of the -phase; the -phase is a stable cage-type clathrate (cryptate) and the host-guest complex of the -phase is a clathrate of intermediate tubulato-cryptate type.     

Sulfated steroid compounds from the starfish Aphelasterias japonica of the Kuril population

Four sulfated steroid compounds were isolated from the Kuril population of the starfish Aphelasterias japonica.

Variations in the linear size of precipitated catalysis for ammonia synthesis during their reduction and oxidation

According to dilatometric analysis data, it has been shown that at low temperatures both catalyst reduction steps are accompanied by sample expansion. With increasing temperature, the value of the expension effect decreases to zero, and after then only contraction is observed. Mild oxidation of the reduced catalyst at room temperature leads to its contraction.

Phase equilibria in the Ag4SSe-SnTe system

The phase diagram of the system Ag₄SSe-SnTe is studied by means of X-ray diffraction, differential thermal and metallographic analyses and measurements of the microhardness and the density of the material. This diagram is divided into two eutectic-type subdiagrams by the composition Ag₄SSe·2SnTe. The unit-cell parameters of the intermediate phases 3Ag₄SSe·SnTe (phase A) and -Ag₄SSe·2SnTe (phase B) are determined as follows: for phase A: a=0.7851 nm, b=0.7196 nm, c=0.6296 nm, =101.32°, =85.90°, =111.36°; for phase B: a=0.3662 nm, b=0.3303 nm, c=0.3343 nm, =90.74°, =108.94°, =91.91°. The phase Ag4SSe·2SnTe melts congruently at 615°C and a polymorphic transition of the phase takes place at T _- =110°C.This revised version was published online in November 2005 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Thermal transformations of α-H6P2Mo18O62·nH2O heteropolyacid

According to the ³¹P NMR spectroscopy, heteropolyacid (HPA) H₆P₂Mo₁₈O₆₂·nH₂O (P₂Mo₁₈), -isomer of the Dawson structure, transforms upon heating above 80 °C partially (up to 30%) to -isomer, in which both polar groups Mo₃O₁₃ of the heteropolyanion are turned by 60° around the N₃ axis, and partially to -isomer in which only one group is turned. The - and -isomers of P₂Mo₁₈ have been found for the first time. Their transformation into the -isomer occurs upon rehydration in one week in air and in 1 h in an aqueous solution. HPA P₂Mo₁₈ decomposes on heating up to 350 °C to HPA H₃PMo₁₂O₄₀ (PMo₁₂) and a previously unknown phase of the HPMo₆I₂₁ composition, which in its turn decomposes at 375 °C to molybdenyl phosphates and IiI₃. The PMo₁₂ decomposition occurs via two routes to form the same products at temperatures of 400 and 450 °C with corresponding exotherms of IiI₃ crystallization.     

Synthesis,molecular structure,and magnetic properties of bis(3,6-di-tert-butyl-o-benzosemiquinone)nickel(II) and -copper(II)

The title complexes of Ni and Cu with symmetrical 3,6-di-tert-butyl-o-benzosemiquinone are synthesized. Their EPR spectra and magnetic properties are investigated. The x-ray structure studies [Siemens R3/PC diffractometer, MoK, /20-scanning in the rang 2 2 54°, 2084 reflections withF > 4(F),R = 0.034,R _w = 0.039, monoclinic crystals,a = 9.982(2),b = 11.548(2),c = 12.145(2) Å, = 95.05(3)°,Z = 2,d _calc = 1.19 g/cm^–3, space groupP2 _l/c) demonstrated that the complex is monomeric with square-planar coordination for the Ni with theo-semiquinone ligands. The Cu complex is isostructural with the Ni (a = 9.88,b = 11.60,c = 12.15 Å, = 95°]. The dependence of the magnetic moment of the Cu complex on temperature is consistent with the presence in it of two pathways for exchange interaction. These are antiferromagnetic ligand-ligandJ ₁₂ = –179 cm^–1 and ferromagnetic metal-ligandJ ₁₃ = 100 cm^–1 (mean-square deviation 2%). The Ni complex is diamagnetic over the whole studied temperature range despite the fact that it contains free-radicalo-semiquinone ligands. Such an effect involving electrons belonging to the free-radical ligands is observed for the first time in the magnetochemistry ofd ⁸- andd ⁹-transition-metal complexes. It is explained by incorporation of vacantp _z- and/or occupiedd _xz- andd _yz-orbitals of Ni in molecular orbitals containing the -MO of the semiquinone ligands.Institute of Organometallic Chemistry, Russian Academy of Sciences, 603600 Nizhnii Novgorod, Russia.

Thermal conductivity of the urea-hexadecane inclusion compound

The thermal conductivity and the heat capacity per unit volumec _p have been measured for the urea-hexadecane inclusion compound using the transient hot-wire method. Measurements were made under isobaric conditions at a pressure of 0.1 GPa and in the temperature range of 100–300 K. There was evidence for a phase transition at a temperature of about 160 K, in reasonable agreement with previous work. For the high-temperature phase was independent of temperature within ±1%. The low-temperature phase showed a weak temperature dependence, with (d In/d InT) _p = –0.13. It was inferred that interaction between acoustic phonons and low-frequency vibrational excitations of the guest molecules made a major contribution to the thermal resistivity. For the quantityc _p a weak maximum was observed in the region of the phase transition temperature.Dedicated to Dr D. W. Davidson in honor of his great contributions to the sciences of inclusion phenomena.     

Study of complex formation between aluminum bromide and benzene by 27Al NMR spectroscopy

The reaction of aluminum bromide with benzene in n-hexane was studied by ²⁷Al NMR spectroscopy in the temperature range from –80 to +20 °C. The formation of C₆H₆·Al₂Br₆ (1 : 2) complexes is accompanied by broadening of the resonance line with 178. No peak splitting following a decrease in the temperature was observed but the temperature dependence of the line width passed through a maximum near –60 °C. A procedure for determination of the constant K for the formation of 1 : 2 complexes at –20, 0, and +20 °C based on the line broadening with an increase in the C₆H₆ : Al₂Br₆ molar ratio was proposed. The thermodynamic parameters of complex formation, G, H, and S, were calculated.
