Extraction and stripping study of strontium ions across D2EHPA-TBP-kerosene oil based supported liquid membranes

A Sr ion transport study across D2EHPA-TBP kerosene oil based liquid membranes supported on microporous polypropylene film has been performed. The parameters studied were the effect of di(2-ethylhexyl)phosphoric acid (D2EHPA) and TBP concentration variation in the membrane liquid, HNO₃ concentration variation in the stripping phase and citric acid concentration variation in the feed solution. The optimum conditions of transport are 0.3 mol/dm³ D2EHPA, 0.1 mol/dm³ TBP, 0.01 mol/dm³ citric acid in feed and 2 mol/dm³ HNO₃ in the stripping phase. The mechanism of transport observed is counter-ion coupled transport. The coupling ions are protons. The maximum flux for Sr ion transport observed is 5.33·10^–5 mol·m^–2·s^–1 and maximum permeability under optimum conditions observed is 8.08·10^–11 m^–2·s^–1.     

Anhydro base of 4-(3-indolyl)pyrimidine

The reaction of 4-(3-indolyl)pyrimidine methiodide with alkali gives a stable anhydro base, which reacts under mild conditions with methyl iodide to give 1-methyl-4-(1-methyl-3-indolyl)pyrimidinium iodide. On the basis of the calculated molecular diagrams of both compounds it was concluded that they have high reactivities. The reaction of the anhydro base with an aqueous methanol solution of KOH, concentrated NH₄OH, hydrazine hydrate, and a mixture of malonic acid dinitrile with triethylamine leads to 3-acetylindole, 4-(3-indolyl)pyrimidine, 3(5)-(3-indolyl)pyrazole, and 2-amino-3-cyano-6-(3-indolyl)pyridine, respectively. 1-Methyl-4-(1-methyl-3-indolyl)pyrimidinium iodide under the same conditions gives similar compounds that contain a methyl group attached to the indole nitrogen atom. The structures of the synthesized compounds were confirmed by their IR, UV, PMR, and mass spectra.See [1] for our preliminary communication.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 2, pp. 212–218, February, 1982.     

Reaction of secondary phosphine selenides with the system Se/MOH (M = Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs): A novel three-component synthesis of diorganodiselenophosphinates

Secondary phosphine selenides, R₂P(Se)H (R = PhCH₂CH₂, PhCH(Me)CH₂, 4-t-BuC₆H₄CH₂CH₂, NaphthylCH₂CH₂, Ph), react with the system Se/MOH (M = Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs) in the system THF/EtOH at ambient temperature unusually fast (20–30 s) to give cleanly and almost quantitatively (in 94–100% yield) earlier unknown diorganodiselenophosphinates of alkali metals.     

Electronic spectra of α,β-unsaturated ketones — Indole derivatives

The electronic spectra of (3-indolyl)-, (1-methyl-3-indolyl)-, and (6-nitro-3-indolyl)-substituted ,-unsaturated ketones were measured and interpreted. 3-Indolyl and N-methyl-3-indolyl substituents have a considerable bathochromic effect as compared with the phenyl group in the investigated systems as a consequence of the electron-donor effect, which surpasses that for 4-anisyl, 2,4-dimethoxyphenyl, 2-furyl, 2-thienyl, and 2-selenienyl and differs only slightly from 2-pyrrolyl. The introduction of electron-donor substituents into the p position of the benzene ring of 1-(3-indolyl)-3-phenyl-1-propenone causes a red shift of the long-wave absorption band, the difference in frequencies of which correlates with the Hammett substituent constants. Except for compounds containing a nitro group,1-(3-indolyl)-3-aryl-3-propenones and their N-methyl derivatives fluoresce well in alcohol with _max >475 nm.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 7, pp. 949–953, July, 1972.

Trace determination of TeO42?, TeO32?, AsO2? and VO3? by differential pulse polarography and resolution of binary and ternary mixtures of selected oxyanions

Summary A differential pulse polarographic method has been applied to the determination of trace concentrations of TeO ₄ ^2– , TeO ₃ ^2– , AsO ₂ ^– and VO ₃ ^– . The dependence of the differential pulse peak on various parameters was studied and optimum conditions for the analytical determination of these oxyanions were found. Limits of detection and quantitation have been calculated for the differential pulse polarographic determination of the investigated oxyanions. The selectivity of this technique for the determination of binary (TeO ₄ ^2– -TeO ₃ ^2– , TeO ₄ ^2– -AsO ₂ ^– and TeO ₄ ^2– -VO ₃ ^– ) mixtures and a ternary (TeO ₄ ^2– -TeO ₃ ^2– -AsO ₂ ^– ) mixture has also been reported.

The oxidation of Pd^II by Fe(CN) ₆ ^3– has been studied in 55% MeCO₂H–H₂O containing 4.0 mol dm^–3 HCl, the oxidation being made possible by altering redox potentials. The active species of Pd^II and Fe(CN) ₆ ^3– are PdCl ₃ ^– and H₂Fe(CN) ₆ ^– , respectively. A possible mechanism is proposed and verified, and the reaction constants involved have been evaluated.     

Solvent extraction of tetrachloronitridotechnetate(VI) ion with tetraphenylarsonium chloride

Radiochemical and spectrophotometric studies on the solvent extraction of tetrachloronitridotechnetate(VI) ion with tetraphenylarsonium chloride into chloroform have been reported. Analysis of the dependence of the distribution ratio for technetium species on the concentration of hydrogen ion (0.1–1.0M) revealed that an equilibrium between tetrachloronitridotechnetate(VI) ion and [(H₂OCl₃NTc–O–TcNCl₃(H₂O)]^2– is established in the aqueous phase. However, formation of di(-O) dimer was suggested, when the concentration of hydrochloric acid is less than 0.2M. The extraction constant for technetium and formation constant for -oxo technetium nitrido complex were evaluated.     

Uranium's Valency in U3S5

U₃S₅ has been prepared by chemical transport reaction and investigated using X-ray powder diffraction, FTIR spectroscopy, electrical resistivity measurements, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. U₃S₅ is a semiconductor with a thermal band gap E_g=78.1(4) meV (298 K<T<50 K), which closes gradually to 3.4(4) meV for T<25 K. Photoelectron spectroscopy on single crystals of U₃S₅ and β-US₂ suggest a mixed valency of uranium in U₃S₅. Physical and structural data are consistent with a mixed-valent model (U³⁺)₂U⁴⁺ (S²⁻)₅. A brief survey of literature data on crystal structure and physical properties of uranium sulfides and selenides is given.     

Crystal Structures of Twisted Di(2-Pyridyl)ketone and Planar Azo-di(2-Pyridine) and Their Discussion Based on PM3 Enthalpy Hypersurfaces for the Isoelectronic Molecules

Single crystal structure determinations prove the two pyridine substituents in di(2-pyridyl)ketone (H₄C₄NC)₂C=O to be twisted out of the carbonyl skeleton plane by torsion angles (OCCN) of 41° and –163°, in contrast to their planar arrangement in azo-di(2-pyridine) H₄C₄NC)-N=N-(CNC₄H₄). In order to rationalize the surprising difference between the two isoelectronic molecules, approximate PM3 enthalpy of formation hypersurfaces have been calculated for each of the two ring torsions, which are assumed to be the dominant ones among the 3N – 6 = 60 degrees of freedom. For both the ketone and the azo derivative, global minima are calculated, the torsion angles of which deviate from the crystal structure results, and, therefore, support the assumption that both the experimentally determined twisting of di(2-pyridyl)ketone as well as the flattening of azo-di(2-pyridine) might be affected by the crystal packing.     

A Potentiometric and Spectroscopic Investigation of Copper(II)– and Zinc(II)–Orotate Complex Equilibria Under Physiological Conditions

A quantitative study of zinc(II) and copper(II) complex formation with orotic acid has been performed under physiological conditions (37°C; 0.15 mol-dm^–3 NaCl) using the glass electrode potentiometric technique. Several species have been identified within the pH range 2–10 for the metal-to-ligand concentration ratios investigated. Three mononuclear complexes, ML, ML₂, and ML₂H_–1, have been characterized with both metals. In addition, the polynuclear species M₃L₂H_–2 has been found with copper(II). Formation constants for all these species have been calculated with the help of the SUPERQUAD computer program. UV absorption and IR spectroscopic measurements combined with speciation calculations have been used to confirm corresponding structures.     

Co-hydrolysis products of tetraethoxysilane and methyltriethoxysilane in the presence of tetramethylammonium ions: Part 2 [1]

²⁹Si NMR peaks due to species with the double four-membered ring siloxane backbone composed of both Si(O^–)_4/2 and CH₃Si(O^–)_3/2 units, (CH₃) _n Si₈O _{20 – n} ^{/(8 – n) –} (n=1–3), formed by co-hydrolysis of tetraethoxysilane and methyltriethoxysilane in the presence of tetramethylammonium ions in methanol have been assigned. It has been found that ²⁹Si NMR peaks due to Si(OSi)₃(O^–) units shift to lower frequencies by replacement of the adjacent Si(O^–)_4/2 units by CH₃Si(O^–)_3/2 units, in other words, with increasing m value in Si[OSi(O^–)₃]_{3 – m} [OSi(CH₃) (O^–)₂] _m (O^–) (m=0–2). Peaks from CH₃ Si(OSi)₃ units in the species have also appeared as separated due to the kind of neighbor structural units. On the basis of the assignments, positions of CH₃Si(O^–)_3/2 units in the cubic octameric siloxane framework of (CH₃) _n Si₈O _{20 – n} ^{/(8 – n) –} (n=2, 3), for both of which three isomers are present, have been estimated.     

Kinetics and mechanism of pentacyanohydroxoferrate(III) formation from the reaction of cyanide ion with [Fe2L(OH)2]2− (L=triethylenetetraaminehexaacetate)

Summary The kinetics and mechanism of the reaction between [Fe₂L(OH)₂]^2– and cyanide ion (L = TTHA, triethylenetetraaminehexaacetate) have been studied spectrophotometrically atpH=11.0±0.1,I=0.1 M(NaClO₄) and T = 25±0.1 °C. The overall reaction consists of three distinct, observable stages. The first stage involves the dissociation of the binuclear complex into a mononuclear complex [FeL(OH)]^4– which then reacts with cyanide to form [Fe(CN)₅OH]^3–. The species [Fe(CN)₅OH]^3– reacts further with an excess of cyanide and forms [Fe(CN)₆]^3– in the second stage of reaction. The last stage involves the reduction of [Fe(CN)₆]^3– formed in the second stage by the TTHA^6– released in the first stage of reaction. The formation of [Fe(CN)₅OH]^3– in the first stage is firstorder in [Fe₂L(OH)₂]^2– and third-order in cyanide over a large range of cyanide concentrations but becomes zero-order in cyanide at [CN^–] < 4×10^–2M.These observations enable us to suggest the presence of a slow step in which [Fe₂L(OH)₂]^2– dissociates into [FeL(OH)]^4– and [FeOH]²⁺ at low cyanide concentrations and a cyanide assisted rapid dissociation of [Fe₂L(OH)₂]^2– to [FeL(OH)(CN)]^5– at higher cyanide concentrations. The species [FeL(OH)(CN)]^5– reacts further with an excess of cyanide to produce [Fe(CN)₅OH]^3– finally.The reverse reaction between [Fe(CN)₅OH]^3– and TTHA^6– follows first-order dependence in each of [Fe(CN)₅OH]^3– and TTHA^6– and inverse first-order dependence on cyanide concentration. A six-step mechanism has been proposed for the first stage of reaction in which the fifth has been identified as the rate-determining step.     

1, 2-Dithiolium salts

A new method for the synthesis of 1, 2-dithiolium hydrogen sulfates by the oxidation of 1, 2-dithiole-3-thiones with hydrogen peroxide in acetic acid has been developed. From 4-(p-tolyl) 1, 2-dithiolium hydrogen sulfate a series of salts containing anions of inorganic, heteroorganic, and organic acids (Cl^–, Br^–, I^–, ClO ₄ ^– , CNS^–, VO ₃ ^– , HMoOO ₄ ^– , S₂O ₃ ^2– , S₂O ₈ ^2– , Cr₂O ₇ ^2– , Fe(CN) ₆ ^3– , Fe(CN) ₆ ^4– , B(C₆H₅) ₄ ^– , F₃CCOO^–, C₆H₂(NO₂)₃O^–) has been obtained. 4-(p-tolyl)-1, 2-dithiolium salts containing the anions NO ₂ ^– , NO ₃ ^– , ClO ₃ ^– , BrO ₃ ^– , SO ₃ ^2– , SO ₄ ^2– , S₂O ₅ ^2– and Cl₃CCOO^– dissolve in water and do not precipitate in double decomposition reactions. The reactions of 4-(p-tolyl)-1, 2-dithiolium hydrogen sulfate with sodium sulfite, disulfide, and hydrogen sulfide lead to the formation of bis[4-(p-tolyl)-1, 2-dithiol-3-yl] sulfide and disulfide and the sodium salt of 4-(p-tolyl-1, 2-dithiole-3-thiol, respectively. The reaction of 4-(p-tolyl)-1, 2-dithiolium hydrogen sulfate with solutions of salts of the alkali metals containing the anions of weak acids F^–, CNO^–, HCO ₃ ^– , CO ₃ ^2– , B₄O ₇ ^2– , HAsO ₄ ^2– , PO ₄ ^3– , CH₃COO^–, ClCH₂COO^–, etc.) forms bis[4-(p-tolyl)-1, 2-dithlol-3-yl] oxide.

Indole and N-methylindole react with oxa stabilized carbocations generated in situ from orthoformates to yield tris(3-indolyl)methane. The unsymmetrical isomers, e.g. 2-(N-methyl-3-indolyl)di(N-methyl-3-indolyl)-methane ( 4 ), were not formed as established by an independent synthesis. N,N-Dimethylacetamide dimethyl-acetal reacted with 2-alkyl substituted indoles to produce 1,1-bis(3-indolyl)ethanes ( 3 ).     

Scandium fluorophosphate glasses: a structural approach

A systematic investigation on glass formation in the ternary system InF₃–BaF₂–Sc(PO₃)_3n has been carried out. Scandium polyphosphate Sc(PO₃)_3n has been used as a third component in order to investigate the possibilities of obtaining new stable glasses. The above long-chain polyphosphate has been prepared using a specially elaborated cryo-technique, which allowed the preparation of high-purity product. Stable ternary compositions have been obtained within the compositions range (in mol%): 5–75 InF₃, 0–80% BaF₂, 0–50% Sc(PO₃)_3n. Glasses were characterized by Differential Scanning Calorimetry, vibrational spectroscopy (Raman) and ³¹P NMR. Structural features for the glass were put forward. Isolated P(O,F)4 groups or fluoroindated metaphosphate units could be identified depending on glass compositions.
