High performance liquid chromatographic determination of copper(II) and nickel(II) by using solvent extraction and bis(acetylpivalylmethane)ethylenediimine as complexing reagent

The reagent bis(acetylpivalylmethane)ethylenediimine has been examined for the HPLC separation of copper(II), nickel(II), palladium(II) and oxovanadium(IV) chelates on reversed phase HPLC columns (250 x 4 mm) packed with Hypersil ODS, 5 mu and (150 x 3.9 mm) Nova Pak C(18) with guard column. The complexes are eluted with a binary mixture of methanol and water or methanol, acetonitrile and water. Detection is achieved with a UV detector. The solvent extraction procedure is used for the determination of copper and nickel simultaneously at microgram levels, corresponding to ng levels and pg levels respectively, per injection. The method has been applied to the determination of copper and nickel in a coin, nickel-aluminum alloy and water samples.     

Gas and liquid chromatographic determination of some metals as their di-isobutyldithiocarbamate chelates

Summary Gas and Liquid Chromatographic Determination of Some Metals as Their Di-isobutyldithiocarbamate Chelates Both reversed-phase liquid chromatography and gas chromatography permit the elution of the di-isobutyldithiocarbamate chelates of nickel(II), copper(II) and cobalt(III) at picogram level. The palladium(II) chelate can be used as internal standard. Gas chromatography can easily be applied to determination of these metals in aqueous samples. In the liquid chromatography, contact between any free ligand remaining after extraction and metal traces in the column packing materials or metal components of the system must be minimized before the determinations commence. The results indicate a need for further study of interferences. Di-isobutyldithiocarbamate appears to be a suitable chelating agent for use in both Chromatographic methods.     

The simultaneous determination of copper and nickel by liquid-liquid extraction and gas-liquid chromatography with (acetylpivalylmethane)-(trifluoroacetylacetone)ethylenediimine as reagent

The unsymmetrical tetradentate ligand, 1,1,1-trifluoro-1′,1′,1′-trimethyl-4,4′-(ethane-1,2-diyldiimino)bis(pent-3-en-2-one), derived from the condensation of trifluoroacetylacetone and acetylpivalylmethane and trivially named (acetylpivalylmethane)(trifluoroacetylacetone)ethylenediimine has been isolated and its copper(II) and nickel chelates have been prepared. These chelates are readily separated by gas chromatography and a method is proposed for the simultaneous determination of copper and nickel by liquid-liquid extraction of their chelates with the new reagent followed by gas chromatography on a column of OV-1 supported on Gas Chromb Q at 230°C. The method is applied to the determination of the composition of cupro-nickel coinage metal.     

Ion paired chromatography of iron (II,III), nickel (II) and copper (II) as their 4,7-Diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline chelates

A reversed phase ion-paired chromatographic method that can be used to determine trace amounts of iron (II,III), nickel (II) and copper (II) was developed and applied to the determination of iron (II) and iron (III) levels in natural water. The separation of these metal ions as their 4,7-diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline (bathophenanthroline) chelates on an Inertsil ODS column was investigated by using acetonitrile-water (80/20, v/v) containing 0.06 M perchloric acid as mobile phase and diode array spectrophotometric detection at 250-650 nm. Chromatographic parameters such as composition of mobile phase and concentration of perchloric acid in mobile phase were optimized. The calibration graphs of iron (II), nickel (II) and copper (II) ions were linear (r > 0.991) in the concentration range 0-0.5, 0-2.0 and 0-4.0 mug ml(-1), respectively. The detection limit of iron (II), nickel (II) and copper (II) were 2.67, 5.42 and 18.2 ng ml(-1) with relative standard deviation (n = 5) of 3.11, 5.81 and 7.16% at a concentration level of 10 ng ml(-1) for iron (II) and nickel (II) and 25 ng ml(-1) for copper (II), respectively. The proposed method was applied to the determination of iron(II) and iron(III) in tap water and sea water samples without any interference from other common metal ions.     

Thin-Layer Chromatographic Separation of Copper and Mercury Chelates

Abstract

Thin-layer chromatographic separation of metal ions has become immensely popular in analytical chemistry in view of its speed, selectivity and applicability at tracer level. Quinoline-2-aldehyde thiosemicarbazone^1,2 was found to form yellow coloured chelates with metal ions such as copper, nickel, zinc, mercury, iron and lead at pH 7.5 and extract into chloroform. This, however reduces the sensitivity of the reagent as a chromogenic agent but the chromatographic run of the chelates on a thin layer of silica gel coated on glass plate increases the specificity and selectivity of the reagent. In this article we propose a method for separation of copper and mercury chelates from binary mixtures containing chelates of zinc, lead, iron and nickel. The method is applicable for analysis of synthetic mixtures and standard samples.     

Chelate von β-dicarbonylverbindungen und ihren derivaten: Teil XLVII. Dünnschichtchromatographisches verhalten von metallchelaten mit thiodibenzoylmethan und acetylthioacetaniliden

The thin-layer chromatographic behaviour of thiodibenzoylmethane chelates with cobalt(III), zinc(II), mercury(II), palladium(II), platinum(II) and rhodium(III), and also of acetylthioacetanilide chelates with cobalt(III), nickel(II), zinc(II) and cadmium(II) on alumina is described. Different binary mixtures of eluents are used. The influence of solvent parameters and of the layer material, possible separations and the influence of substituents in the acetylthioacetanilides are discussed.     

Liquid chromatographic determination of chelates of cobalt (II), copper (II) and iron (II) with 2-thiophonaldehyde-4-phenyl-3-thiosemicarbazone

Summary A new chelating reagent 2-thiophenaldehyde-4-phenyl-3-thiosemicarbazone (TAPT) has been examined for high performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) separations of cobalt (II), copper(II) and iron (II) or cobalt (II), nickel (II), iron (II), copper (II) and mercury (II) as metal chelates on a C₁₈, 5μm column (250×4 mm i.d.)

A solvent extraction procedure was developed for simultaneous determination of the metals with detection limits within 0.02–2.5 μ g.mL⁻¹. The method was applied to the determination of copper, cobalt and iron in natural waters.     

Liquid chromatographic determination of cobalt(II), copper(II) and iron(II) using 2-thiophenaldehyde-4-phenyl-3-thiosemicarbazone as derivatizing reagent

The complexing reagent 2-thiophenaldehyde-4-phenyl-3-thiosemicarbazone (TAPT) was examined for high performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) separations of cobalt(II), copper(II) and iron(II) or cobalt(II), nickel(II), iron(II), copper(II) and mercury(II) as metal chelates on a Microsorb C-18, 5-mum column (150x4.6 mm i.d.)

UV detection was at 254 nm. The solvent extraction procedure was developed for simultaneous determination of the metals, with detection limits within 0.5-2.5 mug ml(-1) in the final solution. The method was applied for the determination of copper, cobalt and iron in pharmaceutical preparation.     

High-performance liquid chromatographic determination of uranium using solvent extraction and bis(salicylaldehyde) tetramethylethylenediimine as complexing reagent

The reagent bis(salicylaldehyde)tetramethylethylenediimine has been used for the determination of dioxouranium(VI), based on complexation in aqueous solution at pH 6, followed by extraction in chloroform and HPLC determination on a Hypersil ODS (3 μm) column. The complex was eluted with the ternary mixture methanol-acetonitrile-water (40:30:30, v/v/v), with UV detection at 260 nm. Oxovanadium(IV), iron(III), copper(II), cobalt(II), nickel(II) and palladium(II) were completely separated and did not interfere in the determination of uranium. The linear calibration range and detection limits have been obtained. The method has been applied to the determination of uranium together with copper, iron and nickel in mineral ore samples.     

Graphite rod atomization and atomic fluorescence for the simultaneous determination of silver and copper in jet engine oils

S-Methyldithizone(5-methylmercapto-1,5-diphenylformazan) reacts with the chlorides of copper(II), mercury(II) and phenylmercury(II) to give the 1:1 chelates [CuCl(MeDz), HgCl(MeDz) and C₆H₅Hg(MeDz)] and with nickel(II) and palladium(II) to give the 1:2 chelates, M(MeDz)₂. All these complexes are intensely coloured in chloroform solution. No complexes are formed from cobalt(II), manganese(II) or zinc(II) or from the nitrates or acetates of copper and mercury. Coordination increases the reactivity of the sulphur atom in dithizone. Whereas dithizone is unaffected by methyl iodide, nickel dithizonate, Ni(HDz)₂, gives Ni-(MeDz)₂ when heated with methyl iodide in ethanol in the presence of sodium acetate; palladium dithizonate behaves similarly. The 1:1 adduct of nickel dithizonate with 2,2'-bipyridyl gave only Ni(MeDz)₂ on treatment with methyl iodide, and this complex would not form an adduct with bipyridyl. On standing in the light, Ni(MeDz)₂ reacted photochemically to give the yellow isomer of S-methyl-dithizone.     

Coordination compounds of transition metal hydrazine derivatives. Part 25. Monohydrazine-S-methylcarbodithioate schiff bases derived from α-dicarbonyl compounds

Summary The monohydrazones derived from the condensation of diacetyl and benzil with hydrazine-S-methylcarbodithioate (Dahydth) and (Benhydth) were prepared and their ligation properties with nickel(II), copper(II), palladium(II), zinc(II) and cadmium(II) were studied. A series of bisligand chelates were isolated and characterized. In the zinc(II), cadmium(II) copper(II) and palladium(II) bisligand chelates, both Dahydth and Benhydth act as mononegative bidentate molecules. The Ni(Dahydth-H)₂ chelate possesses an octahedral structure where Dahydth acts as a mononegative tridentate ligand. The¹H n.m.r. spectra of the two ligands as well as of the diamagnetic metal(II) chelates are discussed. The fragmentation in a mass spectrometer of all these chelates was also studied.     

Enantiomer separation of 2-halocarboxylic acid esters by chiral complexation gas chromatography

The enantiomer separation of 2-halocarboxylic acid esters on two chiral nickel(II) bis-((perfluoroacyl)terpeneketonates) by complexation gas chromatography is described. The quantitative entiomer separation of branched 2-halocarboxylic acid esters is achieved with nickel (II) bis (3-(heptafluorobutanoyl)(1R, 2S)-pinan-4-onate) 1 while unbranched 2-halocarboxylic acid esters are preferably separated on nickel(II) bis(3-(heptafluorobutanoyl)-(1S)-10-methylenecamphorate) 2. The metal chelates 1 and 2 are accessible in both enantiomeric forms allowing the determination of the enantiomeric excess (ee) effective and reliable.     

Simultaneous Preconcentration of Copper,Nickel and Cobalt In Water By Coprecipitation-Flotation For Electrothermal Atomic Absorption Spectrometry

Abstract

A method is described for the simultaneous flotation separation and determination of μg-levels of copper (II), nickel (II) and cobalt (II) in water. Copper, nickel and cobalt in a 1000-ml sample of water are coprecipitated with hydrated zirconium oxide at pH 9.1±0.1. The precipitate is floated with the aid of a surfactant solution and small air bubbles, separated and dissolved in dilute hydrochloric acid. The contents of these elements are determined by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrophotometry. The method is applied to the determination of low μg/1 levels of copper, nickel and cobalt in fresh water.     

Separation of some transition-metal ions on silica-immobilized 2-pyridinecarboxaldehyde phenylhydrazone

A metal-ion extractant, prepared by chemical binding of 2-pyridinecarboxaldehyde phenylhydrazone on a silica support, is described and shown to be effective for use in separation and determination of trace amounts of iron, cobalt, nickel, and copper. Metal-ion sorption conforms to the Langmuir isotherm. The relative orders of the Langmuir constants K and the column retention-capacity factors k' for the four transition-metal ions are the same as the natural order of the stabilities predicted for their metal chelates: Fe(II) < Co(II) < Ni(II) < Cu(II).     

Determination of cadmium, zinc, nickel and cobalt in tobacco by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography with 2-(8-quinolylazo)-4,5-diphenylimidazole as a chelating reagent.

A sensitive and selective method has been developed for the simultaneous determination of cadmium, zinc, nickel and cobalt. The method is based on the chelation of metal ions with 2-(8-quinolylazo)-4,5-diphenylimidazole (QAI) and the subsequent reversed-phase (RP) high-performance liquid chromatographic separation and spectrophotometric detection of the metal chelates. The chelates were separated on an RP column with acetonitrile-water containing ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid and sodium acetate (pH 7.5). Though Zn(II) and Cd(II) chelates with azo compounds were generally labile in the RP column, these chelates with QAI were successfully detected. When analyses were carried out at 575 nm and at 0.001 absorbance unit full scale, the peak height calibration curves were linear up to 2.0 ng for Cd(II), 2.4 ng for Zn(II), 0.14 ng for Ni(II) and 0.72 ng for Co(II) in 100-microL injections, respectively; the detection limits (3sigma, three times of the standard deviation for the blank signal) for Cd(II), Zn(II), Ni(II) and Co(II) were 4.8, 24, 2.4 and 7.2 pg in 100 microL of injected solution, respectively. The proposed method was successfully applied to the analysis of tobacco without any preliminary concentration or separation.

Preconcentration of Nickel(II) in White Wine Using Quinoxaline-2,3-dithiol and a Finely Divided Anion-Exchange Resin for the Determination by Solid-Phase Spectrophotometry

A simple and sensitive method for the determination of trace amounts of nickel(II) is described. The method is based on the adsorptive enrichment of nickel(II) as the complex with quinoxaline-2,3-dithiol using a finely divided anion-exchange resin, collection of the resin on a membrane filter by filtration, and direct measurement of the absorbance of the resultant circular thin layer by reflective spectrophotometry at 605 nm. In the presence of interfering cations such as copper(II) and cobalt(II) a sample solution is first filtered, after the addition of ammonium thiocyanate and Zephiramine, to extract these cations onto a membrane filter as the ion-pair precipitate formed between the metal-thiocyanate complex anions and Zephiramine cations, then nickel(II) in the filtrate is determined. Interferences from iron(III), silver(I), bismuth(III), cadmium(II), mercury(II), indium(III), palladium(II), platinum(IV), tin(IV), and zinc(II) can also be eliminated. The proposed method was applied to the determination of nickel in white wine. The concentrations of nickel found in 5-ml aliquots of 10 different wine samples were in the range 16.1-68.0 ng ml⁻¹.
