Comparison of the absorption, emission, and resonance Raman spectra of 7-hydroxyquinoline and 8-bromo-7-hydroxyquinoline caged acetate

To better understand the deprotection reaction of the new promising phototrigger compound BHQ-OAc (8-bromo-7-hydroxyquinoline acetate), we present a detailed comparison of the UV-vis absorption, resonance Raman, and fluorescence spectra of BHQ-OAc with its parent compound 7-hydroxyquinoline in different solvents. The steady-state absorption and resonance Raman spectra provide fundamental information about the structure, properties, and population distribution of the different prototropic forms present under the different solvent conditions examined. The species present in the excited states that emit strongly were detected by fluorescence spectra. It is shown that the ground-state tautomerization process of BHQ-OAc is disfavored compared with that of 7-HQ in aqueous solutions. The observation of the tautomeric form of BHQ-OAc in neutral aqueous solutions demonstrates the occurrence of the excited-state proton-transfer process, which would be a competing process for the deprotection reaction of BHQ-OAc in aqueous solutions.     

The absorption spectrum and dissociation constants of 4-hydroxybenzthiazole

The absorption spectra of 4-hydroxybenzthiazole and the parent compound, benzthiazole, have been determined in acidic, basic and neutral solutions, and compared with the corresponding absorption spectra of 8-hydroxyquinoline and quinoline. The dissociation constants of 4-hydroxybenzthiazole obtained by a spectrophotometric method as well as a potentiometric method, show that it is a stronger acid and a weaker base than 8-hydroxyquinoline.

8-Hydroxyquinoline-substituted boron-dipyrromethene compounds: synthesis, structure, and OFF-ON-OFF type of pH-sensing properties

A series of four novel 8-hydroxyquinoline-substituted boron-dipyrromethene derivatives, namely 4,4-difluoro-8-(5-(8-hydroxyquinoline))-3,5-dimethyl-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene (1), 4,4-difluoro-8-(5-(8-hydroxyquinoline))-1,3,5,7-tetramethyl-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene (2), 4,4-difluoro-8-(5-azastyryl-(8-hydroxyquinoline))-3,5-dimethyl-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene (3), and 4,4-difluoro-8-(5-azastyryl-(8-hydroxyquinoline))-1,3,5,7-tetramethyl-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene (4), have been synthesized and characterized by a series of spectroscopic methods. The molecular structures of 1 and 2 have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses. The two methyl substituents attached at C-1 and C-7 positions of boron-dipyrromethene (Bodipy) in compound 2 was revealed to prevent the free rotation of the 8-hydroxyquinoline (8-HQ) moiety, resulting in an almost vertical 8-HQ-Bodipy configuration of this compound. This is obviously different from those for 1 with the dihedral angle between 8-hydroxyquinoline and Bodipy moieties of 65.44 and 66.79° due to the lack of methyl substituents in the latter compound. The intense fluorescence from the Bodipy subunit of these compounds was revealed to gradually get diminished along with either decreasing or increasing the pH value under acidic and basic conditions, respectively, in particular for 1, 2, and 4 because of the photoinduced intramolecular electron transfer from excited Bodipy moiety to 8-HQ unit and just an opposite process. This renders these compounds the first OFF-ON-OFF type of pH-dependent fluorescent sensors. Nevertheless, both the intrinsic fluorescence of these compounds and their fluorescent quenching properties along with the change in the pH value have been found to depend on the steric configuration as well as the linking group between 8-hydroxyquinoline and Bodipy moieties, revealing the effect of molecular structure on their fluorescence properties.

Determination of lead and mercury in sea water by preconcentration in a flow injection system followed by atomic absorption spectrometry detection

The capabilities of three solid chelating reagents were compared for the preconcentration of lead and mercury in high salinity aqueous samples (sea waters). The tested materials were 7-(4-ethyl-1-methyloctyl)-8-hydroxiquinoline (Kelex 100) adsorbed on Bondapack C18 (Kelex-100/C18), 8-hydroxiquinoline immobilized on vinyl co-polymer Toyopearl gel (TSK) and the commercial polystyrene/DVB ion exchange resin with paired iminodiacetate groups (Chelex-100). The two metals preconcentration and final determination were carried out in a flow injection system, coupled on-line to an atomic absorption spectrometric detector. Analytes were preconcentrated in the minicolumn, packed with the materials under investigation, while elution was achieved by injection of 500 μl of an adequate mineral acid solution. The different packing materials and minicolumn designs have been evaluated in terms of sensitivity for simultaneous preconcentration of both metals in sea water. Regarding the solid support, the best results were obtained for the TSK solid phase. Concerning the minicolumn design, the behavior was different for lead and mercury. Lead was quantitatively eluted with 0.5 M HCl and best performance was achieved when packing the solid material in a minicolumn with relatively small volume (1 cm length and 2.5 mm i.d.). In the case of mercury, bigger minicolumn volumes (5.5 cm length and 5.0 mm i.d.) and mixtures, 2 M HCl+1 M HNO₃, were required for its quantitative recovery and elution. The system has been evaluated for quantitative determination of the two metals under study in different Asturian coastal aqueous samples.     

Mechanochemical Modification of 5-Nitro-8-hydroxyquinoline with Cellulose, Pectin, and β-Cyclodextrin

The physicochemical consequences of mechanical treatment of 5-nitro-8-hydroxyquinoline with natural polymers cellulose, pectin, and -cyclodextrin were studied in order to improve its properties. It was found that particle sizes of the medicinal compound in the agglomerated mechanical-composite materials increased. The particle-size increase of the medicinal compound was avoided by adding a third component differing from 5-nitro-8-hydroxyquinoline by the acid-base properties and containing calcium carbonate.     

Studies on derivatives of 8-hydroxyquinoline (oxine). the sensitivity and selectivity of 5-nitroso-oxine and 2-methyl-5-nitroso-oxine towards the group IIIB metals

2-Methyl-5-nitroso-8-hydroxyquinoline (2-methyl-5-nitroso-oxine), hitherto undescribed, has been prepared. The sensitivity and selectivity of this oxine derivative, together with 5-nitroso oxine, and 2-methyl-oxine towards aluminium, yttrium, gallium, indium and thallium(III) have been investigated. A gradation in selectivity is found. With oxine, precipitation occurs with all the above metals under the conditions of the test. With 2-methyl-oxine, precipitation occurs with all metals with the exception of aluminium. With 5-nitroso-oxine, no precipitation occurs with aluminium, yttrium, gallium and indium, and with 2-methyl-5-mtroso-oxine, no precipitation occurs with any metal in Group III B. A possible explanation for this behaviour is advanced.     

8-hydroxyquinoline monomer, water adducts, and dimer. Environmental influences on structure, spectroscopic properties, and relative stability of cis and trans conformers

The low fluorescence quantum yield of 8-hydroxyquinoline cannot be correctly interpreted without knowing the form that such a compound assumes in different environments. The commonly accepted emission-quenching excited-state proton transfer can follow different reaction paths if 8-hydroxyquinoline is dimeric or monomeric or if it exists in the form of cis and trans conformers; in this light, the knowledge of the compound form in a particular environment is basic. We have performed a spectroscopic and computational investigation aimed at the determination of the form of 8-hydroxyquinoline in different solvents. UV-vis, fluorescence, and IR spectral features have been assigned by ab initio computations based on the density functional theory and time-dependent density functional theory; the density functional theory and MP2 computations have been applied to the determination of the relative stability of the dimeric and monomeric cis and trans forms of 8-hydroxyquinoline in different solvents. Molecular dynamics computations have been used to determine the compound behavior in water solutions. According to our results, 8-hydroxyquinoline shows a clear preference for the cis conformation (as dimer or monomer), but, in water solutions, a small fraction of the trans conformation is also present.     

Synthesis of the analytical ligand 2-tert.-butyl-8-hydroxyquinoline

Two methods for the synthesis of 2-tert.-butyl-8-hydroxyquinoline are described.

Physical data confirming the structure of the compound are presented.

The 7-chloromethyl compound has been investigated as an analytical reagent for metal ions in acid solutions.

Utility of 5-Diazo-1,2,4- Triazol-3-Carboxylic Acid for Colorimetric Determination of Certain 8-Hydroxyquinolines

Abstract

A colorimetric method for the determination of certain 8-hydroxyquinolines has been developed. The method is based on the coupling of 8-quinolinols with diazotriazole carboxylic acid in the presence of sodium carbonate (0.5% w/v) at ambient temperature (around 30°C). The resulting azo dyes are stable and give intense absorption in the range of 486–540 nm. Beer's law is valid in the concentration ranges of 1 – 8, 2.5 – 17.5, 5 – 35, 2 – 20, and 2 – 20 mcg/ml for 8-hydroxyquinoline (HQ), 5,7-diiodo-8-hydroxyquinoline (DIQ), 5,7-dibromo-8-hydroxyquinoline (DBQ), 5-chloro-7-iodo-8-hydroxyquinoline (CIQ) and 8-hydroxy-7-iodo-5-quinoline sulfonic acid (SIQ), respectively. The proposed method has been successfully applied for the determination of the studied compounds in pure form and in commercial formulations. The obtained results are in good agreement with those obtained from reported methods.

Spectrophotometric determination of halogenated 8-hydroxyquinoline derivatives

A spectrophotometric method is proposed for the determination of 8-hydroxyquinoline and three of its iodinated derivatives: 5-chloro-7-iodo-8-hydroxyquinoline (clioquinol), 5,7-di-iodo-8-hydroxy-quinoline (iodoquinol) and 8-hydroxy-7-iodo-quinolone-5-sulphonic acid (chinoform). The suggested method depends on the reaction with 4-aminoantipyrine in the presence of an alkaline oxidizing agent. A red antipyrine dye with an absorption peak at 500 nm is produced in all cases. The reacting ratio has been determined and a reaction mechanism is presented. The proposed method can be applied to the analysis of pharmaceutical preparations containing the compounds studied, and the results obtained compare favourably with those obtained with the standard methods.     

The 1:3 uranium(VI)-8-hydroxyquinoline compound: its composition and thermal conversion into bis(8-hydroxyquinolinato)dioxouranium(VI)

Evidence is provided to show that in the red compound formed between uranium(VI) and 8-hydroxyquinoline, the ligand-to-uranium ratio is slightly lower than 3:1, at least when the compound is prepared by a widely accepted procedure. Competition between 8-hydroxyquinoline and other ligands such as water or ammonia is probably responsible for the non-stoichiometry. Further, it is shown that a procedure frequently used for the thermal conversion of the red compound into bis(8-hydroxyquinolmato)dioxouranium(VI) yields a compound in which the ligand-to-uranium ratio is less than 2:1. Conditions which lead to the thermal preparation of the stoichiometric bis compound are described.     

Technology of Preparing 8-Hydroxy-5-nitroquinoline

An efficient, two stage method is proposed for the preparation of 8-hydroxy-5-nitroquinoline based on the nitrosation of 8-hydroxyquinoline and subsequent oxidation of the nitroso derivative using nitric acid. The conditions for the nitrosation and oxidation of the 8-hydroxyquinoline (concentration of nitric acid, temperature, and reaction time) were optimized. A method for purifying the target compound is presented. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 8, pp. 1204–1207, August, 2005.     

Theoretical and experimental approach to spectrofluorometric extractive titrations

Spectrofluorometric extractive titration (SFET) is a sensitive method for determining trace amounts of certain metals. This technique combines titration, extraction and fluorometry and is more sensitive than any of these individual techniques. A theoretical treatment is derived and is compared favorably to an experimental procedure using Ga(III) and Al(III) as metals being titrated by 8-hydroxyquinoline(oxine). A sensitivity value for the experimental SFET is derived and calculated for the Ga(III) and Al(III)-oxine systems.
