Kinetic study of the Ce(III)‐, Mn(II)‐, or ferroin‐catalyzed Belousov‐Zhabotinsky reaction with pyruvic acid

The Ce(III)‐, Mn(II)‐, or ferroin (Fe(phen)₃²⁺)‐catalyzed reaction of bromate ion and pyruvic acid (PA) or its dimer exhibits oscillatory behavior. Both the open‐chain dimer (parapyruvic acid, γ‐methyl‐γ‐hydroxyl‐α‐keto‐glutaric acid, DPA1) and the cyclic‐form dimer (α‐keto‐γ‐valerolactone‐γ‐carboxylic acid, DPA2) show more sustained oscillations than PA monomer. Ferroin behaves differently from Ce(III) or Mn(II) ion in catalyzing these oscillating systems. The kinetics of reactions of PA, 3‐brompyruvic acid (BrPA), DPA1, or DPA2 with Ce(IV), Mn(III), Fe(phen)₃³⁺ ion were investigated. The order of relative reactivity of pyruvic acids toward reaction with Ce(IV), Mn(III), or Fe(phen)₃³⁺ ion is DPA2 > DPA1 > BrPA > PA and that of metal ions toward reaction with pyruvic acids is Mn(III) > Ce(IV) > Fe(phen)₃³⁺. The rates of bromination reactions of pyruvic acids are independent of the concentration of bromine and the order of reactivity toward bromination is (DPA1, DPA2) > BrPA > PA. Experimental results are rationalized. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Int J Chem Kinet 32: 408–418, 2000     

Kinetic study of the Ce(III)‐, Mn(II)‐ or Fe(phen)32+‐catalyzed Belousov‐Zhabotinsky reaction with 2‐ketoglutaric acid

The Belousov‐Zhabotinsky (BZ) reaction of bromate ion with 2‐ketoglutaric acid (KGA) in aqueous sulfuric acid catalyzed by Ce(III), Mn(II), or Fe(phen)₃²⁺ ion exhibits sustained barely damped oscillations under aerobic conditions. In general, the reaction oscillates without an induction period. Fe(phen)₃²⁺ ion behaves differently from Ce(III) and Mn(II) ions in catalyzing this oscillating system. The gem‐diol form of KGA exhibits different behavior from that of the keto form of KGA in the BZ reaction. The kinetics and mechanism of the reaction of KGA with Ce(IV), Mn(III), or Fe(phen)₃³⁺ ion was investigated. The order of relative reactivities of metal ions toward reaction with KGA is Mn(III) > Ce(IV) ≫ Fe(phen)₃³⁺. Experimental results are rationalized. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Kinetic study of the Ce(III)‐, Mn(II)‐ or Fe(phen)32+‐catalyzed Belousov–Zhabotinsky reaction with ethyl hydrogen malonate

In a stirred batch reaction, Fe(phen)₃²⁺ ion behaves differently from Ce(III) or Mn(II) ion in catalyzing the bromate‐driven oscillating reaction with ethyl hydrogen malonate [CH₂COOHCOOEt, ethyl hydrogen malonate (EHM)]. The effects of N₂ atmosphere, concentrations of bromate ion, EHM, metal ion catalyst, sulfuric acid, and additive (bromide ion or bromomalonic acid) on the pattern of oscillations were investigated. The kinetic study of the reaction of EHM with Ce(IV), Mn(III), or Fe(phen)₃³⁺ ion indicates that under aerobic or anaerobic conditions the order of reactivity toward reacting with EHM is Mn(III) > Ce(IV) ≫ Fe(phen)₃³⁺, which follows the same trend as that of the malonic acid system. The presence of the ester group in EHM lowers the reactivity of the two methylene hydrogen atoms toward bromination or oxidation by Ce(IV), Mn(III), or Fe(phen)₃³⁺ ion. No good oscillations were observed for the BrO₃₋‐CH₂(COOEt)₂ reaction catalyzed by Ce(III), Mn(II), or Fe(phen)₃²⁺ ion. A discussion of the effects of oxygen on the reactions of malonic acid and its derivatives (RCHCOOHCOOR′) with Ce(IV), Mn(III), or Fe(phen)₃³⁺ ion is also presented. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Bromo-substituted Mn(II) and Mn(III)-tetraarylporphyrins: synthesis and properties

Abstract

Mono-, tetra-, and octa-bromo substituted Mn(II)- and Mn(III)-tetraarylporphyrins were synthesized by reactions of manganese(II) chloride with corresponding porphyrin ligands or their Cd(II)-complexes in DMF. With the use of the metal exchange reaction, the time of the Mn-porphyrins formation is significantly reduced with increase in yield of final products in comparison with the complexation reaction. Mn(III)-tetraarylporphyrins reduce to the Mn(II)-porphyrins in DMF in the presence of NaOH and in pure DMF. The obtained compounds were identified using UV–vis and ¹H NMR spectroscopy, mass-spectrometry, and elemental analysis.

Determination of Butylated Hydroxyanisole by Briggs‐Rauscher Oscillating Reaction Catalyzed by a Macrocyclic Nickel (II) Complex

A novel analytical approach for quantitative measurement of butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) is dis‐ cussed in this paper. Such a method depends on the inhibitory effect of BHA on a Briggs‐Rauscher (B‐R) oscillating reaction. Unlike the classical B‐R system which involves Mn²⁺ as the catalyst, such a B‐R sys‐ tem is catalyzed by a macrocyclic nickel (II) complex [NiL](ClO₄)₂, where L in the complex is an unsatu‐ rated ligand 5,7,7,12,14,14‐hexemethyl‐1,4,8,11‐tetraazacyclotetradeca‐4,11‐diene. By perturbation of BHA on the system, the oscillation was inhibited in the presence trace amounts of BHA and the inhibition time was found to be proportional to the concentration of BHA over the range 1.00×10^?7–1.20×10^?4 mol/L. Two calibration curves were obtained: the first linear regression is over the range of 1.00×10^?7–2.00×10^?6 mol/L, and the second linear regression is over the range between 2.00×10^?6 and 1.20×10^?4 mol/L, with a lowest limit of detection of 4.00×10^?8 mol/L. UV spectra measurements were employed to clarify the possible perturbation mechanism caused by BHA on the B‐R oscillating reaction.

Synthesis,characterization and magnetism of copper(II)‐lanthanide(III) heterobimetalic complexes with N,N'‐oxamidobis‐(benzoato)cuprate (II)

Seven new μ‐oxamido copper(II)‐lanthanide(III) heterobimetalic complexes described by the formula Cu(obbz) Ln‐(Ph‐phen)₂NO₃(Ln = La, Nd, Eu, Gd, Tb, Ho, Er), where obbz denotes the oxamidobis(benzoato) and Ph‐phen represents 5‐phenyl‐1, 10‐phenanthroline, have been synthesized and characterized by the elemental analyses, spectroscopic (IR, UV, ESR) studies, magnetic moments (at room temperature) and molar conductivity measurement. The temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility of Cu(obbz)Gd(Ph‐phen)₂NO₃ complex has been measured over the range 4.2–300 K. The least‐squares fit of the experimental susceptibilities based on the spin Hamiltonian operator, ? = ?2 J?₁·?₂, yielded J= +1.28 cm^?1, a weak ferromagnetic coupling, A plausible mechanism for a ferromagnetic coupling between Gd(III)‐Cu(II) is discussed in terms of spin‐polarization.     

Triazine based Mn (II) and Mn (II)/Ln (III) complexes: Synthesis,characterization and catecholase activities

In the current work, two triazine‐based multidentate ligands (H₂L¹ and H₂L²) and their homo‐dinuclear Mn (II), mononuclear Ln (III) and hetero‐dinuclear Mn (II)/Ln (III) (Where Ln: Eu or La) complexes were synthesized and characterized by spectroscopic and analytical methods. Single crystals of a homo‐dinuclear Mn (II) complex {[Mn (HL¹)(CH₃OH)](ClO₄·CH₃OH}₂ ( 1 ) were obtained and the molecular structure was determined by X‐ray diffraction method. In the structure of the complex, each Mn (II) ion is seven‐coordinate and one of the phenolic oxygen bridges two Mn (II) centre forming a dimeric structure. The UV–Vis. and photoluminescence properties of synthesized ligands and their metal complexes were investigated in DMF solution and the compounds showed emission bands in the UV–Vis. region. The catecholase enzyme‐like activity of the complexes were studied for 3,5‐DTBC → 3,5‐DTBQ conversion in the presence of air oxygen. Homo‐dinuclear Mn (II) complexes ( 1 and 4 ) were found to efficiently catalyse 3,5‐DTBC → 3,5‐DTBQ conversion with the turnover numbers of 37.25 and 35.78 h^?1 (k_cat), respectively. Mononuclear Eu (III) and La (III) complexes did not show catecholase activity.     

The Spectrophotometry Determination of Mn(III) in the Presence of Mn(IV)

Abstract

The spectra of complex of Mn(III) and Mn(IV) with pyrophosphoric acid are investigated. The molar absorption coefficient of the complex of Mn(III) with pyrophosphoric acid is 80.6/Mcm at 510nm which is close to that of Mn(IV), 110/Mcm, however, the molar absorption coefficient of the complex of Mn(HI) with pyrophosphoric acid is only 4.98/Mcm at 398nm which is much less than that of Mn(IV), 390/Mcm. Based on this absorbance difference between Mn(III) and Mn(IV) at wavelength 398nm and 510nm, a procedure of determination of Mn(III) in the presence of Mn(IV) has been developed.

Controlled Synthesis of Uniform,Micrometer‐Sized Ruthenium‐Functionalized Poly(N‐Isopropylacrylamide) Gel Particles and their Application to the Catalysis of the Belousov–Zhabotinsky Reaction

Ruthenium‐functionalized poly(N‐isopropyl acrylamide)‐based chemically oscillating microgels with diameters between 1 and 6 µm are synthesized by a modified precipitation polymerization approach. It is found that the initial amount of N‐isopropyl acrylamide (NIPAAm) can significantly affect the final sizes of the microgels. 2.5 g of initial NIPAAm results in microgels with maximum average diameter of ≈6 ± 0.5 µm. Making use of their fluorescence due to their ruthenium contents and their larger sizes compared to microgels prepared using other traditional methods, the impact of changes in the NaBrO₃ concentrations on their microscopic behavior is studied using a combination of fluorescence microscopy and dynamic light scattering techniques. When increasing the concentration of NaBrO₃ in a solution, the microgels first experience a decrease in size followed by aggregation that leads to the loss of colloidal stability. Finally, the redox potential behavior and optical performance of the Belousov–Zhabotinsky reaction catalyzed by these microgels are studied by electrochemical and spectroscopic means.

     

The Effect of Sodium Dodecylbenzenesulfonate (SDBS) Micelles on a BelousovZhabotinsky Oscillating System Catalyzed with a Tetraazamacrocyclic Copper(II) Complex

This article deals with the influence of micelles of the anionic surfactant sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate (SDBS) on the Belousov? Zhabotinsky (B? Z) oscillating reaction catalyzed by a tetraazamacrocyclic copper(II) complex [CuL](ClO₄)₂, an enzyme‐like catalyst (L=5,7,7,12,14,14‐hexamethyl‐1,4,8,11‐tetraazacyclotetradeca‐4,11‐diene). Unlike the classical B? Z oscillator in which malonic acid is usually used as a substrate, malic acid (an intermediate in the Krebs cycle) is involved in this oscillating system. Experiments reveal that formation of the SDBS micelles markedly affects the behavior of the oscillating reaction. It is found that there is a linear relationship between the change in the oscillation amplitude (ΔA) and the concentration of SDBS, whereas the change in the oscillation period (ΔT) is linearly proportional to the SDBS concentration. The most likely mechanism that involves the formation of the SDBS micelles and the effects of the micelles on the oscillating chemical system can be rationalized by assuming that the SDBS micelles are so negatively charged that they attract more [CuL]³⁺ than [CuL]²⁺. This hypothesis was confirmed by UV/VIS spectrophotometric measurements of a constant concentration of [CuL](ClO₄)₂ in different concentrations of SDBS; as the SDBS concentration increased, the absorbance of [CuL](ClO₄)₂ increased, while the maximum absorption wavelength for [CuL](ClO₄)₂ remained at 502 nm.     

Synthesis of α‐(Fluorophenyl)pyridine by Palladium‐Catalyzed Cross‐Coupling Reaction

A series of α‐(fluoro‐substituted phenyl)pyridines have been synthesized by means of a palladium‐catalyzed cross‐coupling reaction between fluoro‐substituted phenylboronic acid and 2‐bromopyridine or its derivatives. The reactivities of the phenylboronic acids containing di‐ and tri‐fluoro substituents with α‐pyridyl bromide were investigated in different catalyst systems. Unsuccessful results were observed in the Pd/C and PPh₃ catalyst system due to phenylboronic acid containing electron‐withdrawing F atom(s). For the catalyst system of Pd(OAc)₂/PPh₃, the reactions gave moderate yields of 55% –80%, meanwhile, affording 10% –20% of dimerisation (self‐coupling) by‐products, but trace products were obtained in coupling with 2,4‐difluorophenylboronic acids because of steric hinderance. Pd(PPh₃)₄ was more reactive for boronic acids with sterically hindering F atom(s), and the coupling reactions gave good yields of 90% and 91% without any self‐coupling by‐product.     

Iron(III)‐Complexes Engaged in the Biochemical Processes in Seawater. II. Voltammetry of Fe(III)‐Malate Complexes in Model Aqueous Solution

Characteristics of iron(III) complexes with malic acid in 0.55 mol L^?1 NaCl were investigated by voltammetric techniques. Three iron(III)‐malate redox processes were detected in the pH range from 4.5 to 11: first one at ?0.11 V, second at ?0.35 V and third at ?0.60 V. First process was reversible, so stability constants of iron(III) and iron(II) complexes were calculated: log K₁(Fe^III(mal))=12.66±0.33, log β₂(Fe^III(mal)₂)=15.21±0.25, log K₁(Fe^II(mal))=2.25±0.36, and log β₂(Fe^II(mal)₂)=3.18±0.32. In the case of second and third reduction process, conditional cumulative stability constants of the involved complexes were determined using the competition method: log β(Fe(mal)₂(OH)_x)=15.28±0.10 and log β(Fe(mal)₂(OH)_y)=27.20±0.09.
