Spectrophotometric Determination of Rhenium(IV) with Thiocyanate,TX-100 and N,N′-Diphenylbenzamidine

A spectrophotometric method to determine rhenium(IV) at trace level is based on the extraction of Re(IV)-SCN^? complex in sulphuric acid media with N,N′-diphenylbenzamidine(DPBA) in presence of a non-ionic surfactant triton X-100 (TX-100) in chloroform. The complex shows maximum absorbance at 435 nm with amolar absorptivity value of 4.24 × 10⁴ L mol^?1 cm^?1 at an acidity range 3.5-6.5 M H₂SO₄. The method followed Beer's Law for the system Re(IV)-SCN^?(TX-100)-DPBA upto 4.0 μg Re(IV) mL^?1. The detection limit of the method is 5 ppb. None of the tested foreign ions, except molybdenum(VI), interfere with the determination of rhenium. The interference due to molybdenum could effectively be removed by prior precipitation with oxine. The effect of various analytical parameters on the extraction of the metal are discussed.     

Solvoluminescence of Cerium(III) Thiocyanate Complex

A cerium(III) thiocyanate complex shows bright-blue emission at approximately 450 nm in acetonitrile, the quantum yield of which reaches more than 40 % at 298 K. Non-coordinating solvents such as acetonitrile give blue emission whereas oxygen-coordinating and nitrogen-coordinating solvents afford near UV and green emissions, respectively.     

Cobalt(III) complexes of ethylenediamine-N,N′-di-S-isobutylacetic acid

A new optically active ONNO-type tetradentate ligand, ethylenediamine-N,N′- di-S-isobutylacetate (SS-eniba), has been synthesized. During the preparation of diaqua cobalt(III) complexes of SS-eniba, [Co(SS-eniba)(H₂O)₂]⁺, the title ligand has coordinated stereospecifically to the cobalt(III) ion to give three isomers, Δ-s-cis, Δ-uns-cis and Λ-uns-cis, which have been isolated and characterized via electronic absorption, circular dichroism (CD), and ¹H NMR spectroscopy, along with elemental analysis data. The preparation of Δ-s-cis-[Co(SS-eniba)Cl₂]⁺ and Δ-s-cis-[Co(SS-eniba)CO₃]⁺ are also reported.     

N,N′,N′′,N′′′‐Tetraethylterephthalamidinium bis(tetrazolate)

The crystal structure of the title 2:1 salt of tetrazole and a substituted terephthal­amidine, C₁₆H₂₈N₄²⁺·2CHN₄^?, contains an infinite network of hydrogen bonds, with short N?N distances of 2.820 (2) and 2.8585 (19) Å between the tetrazolate anion and the amidinium cation. Involvement of the lateral N atoms of the tetrazole in the hydrogen bonding appears to be a typical binding pattern for the tetrazolate anion.

were studied polarimetrically in aqueous buffer solution. The reaction rate is first order in OH^? and in complex, in weakly acidic medium. Activation parameters are ΔH≠=22 kcal · mol^?1, ΔS≠=26 cal · K^?1. The results are discussed in terms of an S_N1CB mechanism involving exchange of the ligand water molecule. The N-methylated analogue [Co(ME3A)H₂O] does not racemize in the pH-range investigated. Loss of optical activity occurs at a rate which is about 1,000 times slower than the racemization of [Co(EN3A)H₂O](60°) and coincides with the decomposition of the complex.     

Relaxivity Study and X-ray Structure of Gd(III)-diethylenetriamine-N,N′,N′-triacetic-N,N″-bis(benzylamide). A Potential MRI Contrast Agent

The new bis(amide) derivatives of DTPA (diethylenetriamine-N,N,N′,N″,N″-pentaacetic acid), diethylenetriamine-N,N′,N″-triacetic-N,N″-bis(benzylamide) (DTPA-BBA) have been synthesized. The crystal structure of gadolinium(III) complex of DTPA-BBA ([Gd(DTPA-BBA)]) has been determined by X-ray crystallography: C₂₈H₅₂GdN₅O₁₇, M_w = 889 g mol^?1, space group $ {\rm P}\bar 1 $ (#2) (triclinic), a = 12.645(4), b=14.125(8), c = 12.623(4) Å, α = 111.60(3), β = 114.79(3), γ = 88.39(4)°, V = 1881(1) ų, Z = 2, D_x = 1.569 g/cm³, λ(Mo Kα) =0.71069 Å, μ = 18.44 cm^?1, final R = 0.047, R_w = 0.046 for 3755 independent observed reflections at 23 °C. The coordination sphere of Gd(III) comprises three amine nitrogens, two amide oxygens, three carboxylic acid oxygens, and one water. The relaxivity of Gd(III) complex was determined to be R1 = 4.08(4) and R2 = 6.06(5) dm³ mmol^?1 s^?1 at pH = 7.0, 20 MHz, and 37(1) °C. Additionally, the R1 relaxivity for Gd(III) chelate was found to be invariant with respect to pH changes over the range of 2-10. This indicates that a constant inner-sphere hydration number is associated with the [Gd(DTPA-BBA)] complex. Hence the high stability of the complex is demonstrated.
