Polarographisches Verhalten der C2-Halogenkohlenwasserstoffe

Summary Investigations on the polarographic and voltammetric behaviour of organic halogen compounds were carried out in order to obtain information on the redox properties and how to develop determination and detection methods. In this second report the dp-polarographic behaviour of the halogen substituted C₂-compounds has been studied in different supporting electrolytes and in various solvents. The electrode processes are discussed and the possibilities for the polarographic determination of the C₂-halogen hydrocarbons. The detection limit is 0.25 g · ml^–1 and the linear current-concentration relationship is observed up to 25 g · ml^–1. A simple and rapid method is proposed for the dp-polarographic determination of 1,2-dibromoethane in gasoline; the relative standard deviation for 20 g · ml^–1 is ±1.8%.

Extractive spectrophotometric determination of dioxouranium(VI) with the sodium salt of hexamethyleneiminecarbodithioate

The optimum conditions for the extractive spectrophotometric determination of dioxouranium(VI) with hexamethyleneiminecarbodithioate(HMICdt) have been established. Dioxouranium(VI) reacts with this ligand at pH 4.5 to form a yellowish-orange uncharged 12 metal-ligand complex which can be extracted by chloroform. The calibration graph was linear in the range of 1–20 g ml^–1 of dioxouranium(VI) at 335 nm. The molar absorptivity of the extracted species is 5.952×10³ l mol^–1 cm^–1 with Sandell's sensitivity of 0.04 g cm^–2. The average of 10 determinations of dioxouranium was 49.75 g for the samples containing 50 g of U(VI) and the variation from the mean at 95% confidence limit was 49.75±0.5955.     

The kinetics of the oxidation-reduction reaction between uranium(VI) and titanium(III) in HCl solution

The oxidation-reduction reaction between U(VI) and Ti(III) in HCl solution was studied spectrophotometrically. The reaction is second-order at all concentrations of reactants, HCl, ferrous chloride and mannitol used in this work. In 5M HCl the rate constantk increases with increasing Ti(III) concentration, whereas it decreases with increasing U(VI) concentration, with increasing HCl concentration from 1.00M to 7.17M and increases thereafter from 7.17M to 11.79M. The addition of mannitol causes a consistent decrease in the rate of reaction, whereas ferrous chloride has no effect. The activation energy for this oxidation-reduction reaction was 47.90±0.11 kJ·mol^–1. The values of H , G and S were 45.40±0.11 kJ·mol^–1, 72.50±0.17 kJ·mol^–1 and –91.10±0.22J·k^–1·mol^–1, respectively. The mode of reaction is discussed in the light of kinetic results.     

Formation,properties, and thermal decomposition of bisarene chromium(i) and molybdenum(i) fullerides

Fullerides [(⁶-Ph₂)₂Cr]⁺[C₆₀]^·–, [(⁶-C₁₀H₁₂)₂Cr]⁺[C₆₀]^·– (C₁₀H₁₂ is tetralin), and [(⁶-PhCH₃)₂Mo]⁺[C₆₀]^·– were synthesized. The molecular structure of [(⁶-Ph₂)₂Cr]⁺[C₆₀]^·– was established. In this compound at 100 K, radical anions C₆₀ ^–· are linked by an ordinary bond to form dimers, whereas at 293 K they are disordered and do not form dimers. The [(⁶-tetralin)₂Cr]⁺[C₆₀]^·– fulleride is stable in vacuo (10^–2 Torr) below 429 K, and [(⁶-toluene)₂Mo]⁺[C₆₀]^·– is stable below 581 K.Based on the materials presented at the International Conference Modern Trends in Organoelement and Polymer Chemistry (Moscow, May 30–June 4, 2004) dedicated to the 50th anniversary of the A.

The effects of cyclodextrin inclusion of the ferrocenemonocarboxylate anion on the kinetics of its oxidation by bis(pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylato)cobaltate(III) in aqueous solution

The effects of -, -, dm-(heptakis(2,6-di-O-methyl)--) and -cyclodextrins (CD) on the kinetics of the electron-transfer reaction of the ferrocenemonocarboxylate anion (FCA^–) with bis(pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylato)cobaltate(III) have been investigated in aqueous solution (0.20 M Na₂HPO₄, pH 9.2) at 25.0°C. Substantial decreases in the rate constants for the electron-transfer reactions were observed upon cyclodextrin inclusion of the reductant, due to an increase in the FCA^0/– reduction potential and to the insulation of the reductant from oxidant. The inclusion stability constants for {FCA·CD}^– were evaluated from the¹H NMR and kinetic data, and the order of the stability constants was found to be -CDdm-CD-CD>-CD.

Spectrophotometric determination of uranium with 5-(2′-carboxyphenyl)azo-8-quinolinol in the non-ionic micellar medium of Triton X-100

Triton X-100, a non-ionic surfactant, has been used to sensitize the reaction of 5-(2-carboxyphenyl)azo-8-quinolinol with uranium in aqueous medium at pH 5.2–6.1 to form a wine red coloured complex. The micellar sensitization results in two and a half-times enhanced molar absorptivity enabling the determination of uranium in rock samples at ppm level, stability of the complex enhanced from 4 hours to at least 72 hours. Extraction of the complex is avoided making the procedure simple, rapid and easy in operation. The molar absorptivity and Sandell's sensitivity of the complex are 1.50·10⁴l·mol^–1·cm^–1 and 15.9 ng·cm^–2, respectively, at _max=568 nm. Beer's law is obeyed over the range 0–3.3 g·ml^–1 of uranium. An amount as low as 0.19 g·ml^–1 of uranium could be determined satisfactorily within a relative standard deviation of ±1.3%. The limits of determination and practical quantitation are 0.29 and 1.80 ppm, respectively. The method was applied to the determination of uranium in soil, stream sediment and rock samples.     

Reaction between cis-diaquabisbiguanideruthenium(III) and hexathiocyanatochromium(III) ions in aqueous media. A mechanistic survey on the formation of a dinuclear bridged complex

The reaction between two complex species [Ru(BigH)₂(H₂O)₂]³⁺ and [Cr(SCN)₆]^3– has been investigated in aqueous medium in the pH range 4.00–6.10, and followed in the 21–40 °C range. Pseudo-first order rate constants were evaluated using the chromium complex in a ten-fold excess. The plot of k _obs versus pH has a bell shaped profile. From this and other evidence it was concluded that only the [Ru(BigH)₂(OH)(H₂O)]²⁺ form of the ruthenium complex is reactive under the experimental conditions, and forms the dinuclear complex [Ru(BigH)₂--(SCN)₂-Cr(NCS)₄]⁰. The rate constant for the dinuclear complex formation at 31 °C is (2.57 ± 0.05) × 10^–3 mol^–1 s^–1. H = 60 ± 2 kJ mol^–1 and S = 116 ± 10 J K^–1 mol^–1.

Kinetic Spectrophotometric Determination of Chromium (VI) by Oxidation of Sodium Pyrogallol-5-sulphonate by Hydrogen Peroxide

Summary. A new selective, sensitive, and simple kinetic method is developed for the determination of trace amounts of chromium (VI). The method is based on the catalytic effect of Cr(VI) on the reaction of sodium pyrogallol-5-sulphonate (PS) with hydrogen peroxide. The reaction is followed spectrophotometrically by tracing the oxidation product at 437nm within 1min after addition of H₂O₂. The optimum reaction conditions are PS (1.32·10^–3mol·dm^–3), H₂O₂ (0.32mol·dm^–3), HClO₄ (2.6·10^–3mol·dm^–3) at 25°C. Following this procedure, chromium (VI) can be determined with a linear calibration graph up to 0.25ng·cm^–3 and a detection limit of 0.024ng·cm^–3, based on the 3 criterion. The interference effect of several species was also investigated and it was found that the most common cations and anions do not interfere with the determination. The developed procedure was successfully applied to the determination of Cr(VI) and total Cr in river waters and total Cr in herbal samples.

Catalytic-fluorimetric determination of EDTA and iron(III) by flow injection analysis

Summary In this paper the authors report on several methods for the direct determination of EDTA and indirect determination of iron(III), based on the inhibition effect of EDTA on the catalytic action of copper (II) on the oxidation of 2,2-dipyridyl ketone hydrazone by hydrogen peroxide and on the decrease of this inhibition effect in the presence of Fe(III), respectively. These methods allow the determination of EDTA in the ranges of 0.4–2.0 g · ml^–1 and 0.2–1.0 g · ml^–1 for the normal and reversed FIA modes, respectively, and of 40–240 ng · ml^–1 for Fe(III) by reversed FIA.

Complexation,solubilities and thermodynamic functions for cerium(III) fluoride-water system

The solubility, solubility product and the thermodynamic functions for the CeF₃–H₂O system have been measured using the radiometric, conductometric and potentiometric techniques. The radiometric values for the solubility and solubility product, the lowest and more acceptable for reasons cited in previous papers, are 3.14·10^–5 M and 2.17·10^–17 respectively. The enthalpy change measured by the conductometric method is almost twice as that obtained by potentiometric method due to abnormal conductances registered at higher temperatures. The average values for H^o and G^o and S^o at 298 K are 53.0±17.4, 91.7±4.0 and –129.7±58.2 KJ·mol^–1 respectively. The positive values for H^o and G^o and the negative value for S^o are indicative of the low solubility of this salt in water. The stability constants for the mono- and difluoride complexes of Ce(III) have been determined potentiometrically using unsaturated solution mixtures of Ce(III) and F^–. These values for CeF⁺ and CeF ₂ ⁺ are 997±98 and (1.03±0.44)·10⁵, respectively. Studies on pH dependence of the solubility shows that the solubility reaches a minimum value at a pH of about 3.2.

The observed rate constant ratio,^k ₁obs/^k ₂ obs, for the sequential iodination of L-tyrosine was determined in the concentration range 1.84·10^–3 to 1·10^–6 M by the use of³H- and¹⁴C-labels and product analysis by HPLC. Iodinations by chloramine-T/I^– gave (^k ₁ obs/^k ₂ obs)· values (=the pH dependent factor) in the range 72±3 to 55±2 and molecular iodine iodinations gave values in the range 64±5 to 39±10. It is concluded that molecular iodine is the iodinating species in both cases.

Negativer linearer thermischer Ausdehnungskoeffizient von verstrecktem Polyäthylen

Zusammenfassung Der lineare thermische Ausdehnungskoeffizient von linearem Polyäthylen hoher Dichte wurde im Temperaturbereich –20 °C bis + 40°C bestimmt. Bei isotropen Proben besteht eine lineare Beziehung zwischen Dichte bzw. Kristallisationsgrad _v und. Die gemessenen Koeffizienten liegen fürT ₀ = 20 °C im Bereich = 110 ... 130 · 10^–6 K^–1.Kalt verstreckte Proben mit Verstreckungsgraden = 8 ... 15 haben beiT ₀ = 20 °C in Verstreckrichtung den Koeffizienten _l = –24 · 10^–6 K^–1. Der negative Zahlenwert von _tl ist unabhängig von und weiteren Herstellungsparametern. Seine Ursache ist einerseits die Orientierung derc-Achsen der Kristallite in Verstreckrichtung mit _c = –12 · 10^–6 K^–1 und andererseits der negative Koeffizient _am * –50 · 10^–6 K^–1 der verspannten amorphen Phase, der auf dem gummielastischen Verhalten der tie-molecules beruht.Beim Tempern oberhalb von +40 °C schrumpfen die Proben irreversibel, wobei _| ansteigt und nach dem Aufschmelzen der Proben wieder den Wert des isotropen Materials annimmt. Nach dem Tempern wenig unterhalb der Schmelztemperatur der Kristallite wurden überhöhte Koeffizienten _| gemessen, die eine Rotation der Kristallite um dieb-Achsen erkennen lassen.

Summary The linear thermal coefficient of expansion,, of high density linear polyethylene has been determined in the temperature range of –20 ° ... + 40 °C. For isotropic samples a linear relationship between density or crystallinity _v and is valid. Measured values of forT ₀ = 20 °C amount to = 110 ... 130 · 10^–6 K^–1.Cold drawn samples of draw ratios = 8 ... 15 yield _| = –24 · 10^–6 K^–1 atT ₀ = 20 °C parallel to the draw axis. The negative value of _| does not depend on draw ratio or other parameters of sample processing. It is caused byc-axis orientation of the crystallites in draw direction with _c = –12 · 10^–6 K^–1 and by a negative coefficient _am * = –50 · 10^–6 K^–1 of the stressed amorphous phase, which is due to rubber elastic behaviour of the tie molecules.When annealed above 40 °C the samples shrink irreversibly and _| is augmented. After melting the samples the value of isotropic material is restored. Annealing the samples little below the melting temperature of the crystallites leads to superelevated values all which reflect| rotation of the crystallites around theb-axis.

     

Determination of Aqueous Nickel-Carbonate and Nickel-Oxalate Complexation Constants

An ion-exchange method was used to determine complexation constants for the Ni-oxalate and Ni-carbonate systems in a NaClO₄ background electrolyte. The Ni-oxalate data were interpreted in terms of a single Niox(aq) complex having log K ₁ values for Ni²⁺ + ox^2– Niox(aq) of 3.9 ± 0.1 (I.S. = 0.5 mol-L^–1 p[H] = 7.1) and 4.4 ± 0.1 (I.S. = 0.1 mol-L^–1 p[H] = 8.6) at 22 ± 1C. Specific ion-interaction theory (SIT) was used to obtain log K ₁ = 5.17 ± 0.05 (95% confidence level and = –0.23 ± 0.15) at I.S. = 0. The Ni-carbonate studies were carried out at p[H] values of 7.5, 8.5, and 9.6 in 0.5 mol-L^–1 NaClO₄/NaHCO₃ solutions. The NiCO₃(aq) species was the dominant complex in the [CO₃ ^2–] concentration ranges studied at all three p[H] values. A log K ₁ value for Ni²⁺ + CO₃ ^2– NiCO₃(aq) of 2.9 ± 0.3 was deduced at I.S. = 0.5 mol-L^–1. Extrapolating this value to zero ionic strength using the SIT approach yielded log K ₁ = 4.2 ± 0.3 (95% confidence level and = –0.26 ± 0.04). The data allowed upper bound values for the complexation constants for NiHCO₃ ⁺ and Ni(CO₃)₂ ^2– to be estimated, i.e., log K < 1.4 for Ni²⁺ + HCO₃ ^– NiHCO₃ ⁺, and log K ₂ < 2 for NiCO₃(aq) + CO₃ ^2– Ni(CO₃)₂ ^2–, respectively.
