Oberflächenzusammensetzung,Löslichkeit und Ionenaktivitätsprodukt von Calcit in fremdionenhaltigen Lösungen

Surface Composition, Solubility, and the Ion Activity Product of Calcite in Solutions with Auxiliary Ions Using the method of simultaneous ion and isotope exchange the chemical composition of the surface layer of calcite powder in equilibrium with solutions of varying Me/Ca molar ratios is determined (Me = Mg²⁺, Co²⁺, Ni²⁺, and Fe²⁺ ions). The ion exchange isotherms show a marked bend in the surface reactivity when a surface molar ration of ～1 and ～3 is reached. The solubility of calcite initially decreases on the addition of Co²⁺ or Ni²⁺ ions to the solution whereas it increases in the presence of Mg²⁺ or Fe²⁺ ions. The activity product of the pseudo compound, Ca_xMe_(1–x)CO₃, decreases in the Ni²⁺, Co²⁺ or Fe²⁺ exchange experiments, however, it increases considerably in those with Mg²⁺ ions.     

Synthesis of a Four-Strand N2O2-Donor Ligand and its Transition Metal Complexation Probed by Electrospray Ionisation Mass Spectrometry

The four-strand and potentially N₂O₂-donor ligand 2,3-endo,endo-bis(aminomethyl)-5,6-endo,endo-bis(hydroxymethyl)bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane (L1), a close analogue of the known tetraalcohol 2,3,5,6-endo,endo,endo,endo-tetrakis(hydroxymethyl)bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane (L2), has been prepared via a multi-step synthesis and isolated as the copper(II) complex [Cu(L1)₂](ClO₄)₂. An ESI-MS study of the complex and metal ion exchange with other transition metal ions (Fe²⁺, Co²⁺, Ni²⁺, Mn²⁺ or Zn²⁺) indicates that 1:1 complexes form readily. Apparently special stability for the Ni²⁺ species observed in the ESI-MS study suggests strong encapsulation of this ion.     

Synthesis,Characterization and Applications of Immobilized Iminodiacetic Acid-Modified Silica

Porous immobilized iminodiacetic acid modified silica of the general formula S—(CH₂)₃—N(CH₂COOH)₂, (where S represents [Si—O] _n siloxane network) has been prepared by replacement of the iodide in 3-iodopropyl modified silica with diethyliminodiacetate. The immobilized-diethyliminodiacetate ligand system (S-DIDA) was then hydrolyzed by hydrochloric acid to produce the immobilized iminodiacetic acid ligand system (S-IDA). The iodo functionalized modified silica (S-I) was prepared by polycondensation of Si(OEt)₄ and (MeO)₃Si(CH₂)₃I. The XPS and CP/MAS ¹³C NMR spectra showed that not all iodine atoms are replaced and that the hydrolysis of ethyl acetate groups are incomplete upon treatment with HCl. The immobilized iminodiacetic acid ligand system exhibits high potential for the uptake of various di- and trivalent metal ions such as (Mn²⁺, Fe³⁺, Co²⁺, Ni²⁺, Cu²⁺ and Zn²⁺). Complexation of the iminodiacetate ligand system for the metal ions at the optimum conditions was found in the order: Cu²⁺ > Fe³⁺ > Ni²⁺ > Co²⁺ > Mn²⁺ > Zn²⁺. Stability studies of the iminodiacetate ligand system showed that a degradation of the siloxane network and leaching of some species occurred upon treatment with strong acid and base aqueous solutions.     

A new test for the mercurous ion

Summary The enhancement of the reducing power of the mercurous ion in presence of thiocyanate can be used for its detection. The most suitable method is to add an excess of thiocyanate and ferric salt, and to detect the ferrous ion formed with o-phenanthroline or dimethylglyoxime. With the former the sensitivity (pD) is 5.0 and the interferences are Cu²⁺, PtCl ₆ ^2- , Co²⁺, Fe²⁺ and Sn²⁺. With the latter the sensitivity (pD) is 4.7, and the interferences are Cu²⁺, Co²⁺, Ni²⁺, Fe²⁺, Sn²⁺, PtCl ₆ ^2- and VO ₃ ^- .Similar reactions can be used for the detection of metallic mercury but many metals interfere.Some other redox indicator system can also be used, but they are less applicable than the system indicated above.

Zusammenfassung Die bei Gegenwart von Rhodanid erhöhte reduzierende Wirkung von Quecksilber-I-Ionen kann zu deren Nachweis verwendet werden. Am besten fügt man einen Überschuß von Rhodanid und Eisen-III-Salz zu und weist die gebildeten Eisen-II-Ionen mit o-Phenanthrolin oder Dimethyldioxim nach. Bei Anwendung des ersteren Reagens beträgt die EmpfindlichkeitpD = 5,0, wobei Cu⁺⁺, PtCl ₆ ^-- , Co⁺⁺, Fe⁺⁺ und Sn⁺⁺ stören. Bei Anwendung von Dimethyldioxim beträgt die EmpfindlichkeitpD = 4,7, wobei Cu⁺⁺, Co⁺⁺, Ni⁺⁺, Fe⁺⁺, Sn⁺⁺, PtCl ₆ ^-- und VO ₃ ^- stören.Ähnliche Reaktionen können zum Nachweis von metallischem Quecksilber dienen, werden aber von vielen Metallen gestört.Einige andere Redox-Indikator-Systeme können gleichfalls herangezogen werden, sind aber weniger gut anwendbar.

Résumé On peut utiliser l'exaltation du pouvoir réducteur de l'ion mercureux en présence de thiocyanate pour sa détection. La méthode la plus convenable consiste à ajouter un excès de thiocyanate et de sel ferrique et de détecter l'ion ferreux formé avec l'o-phénanthroline ou la diméthylglyoxime. Avec la première, la limite de sensibilité estpD = 5,0 et les interférences sont dues à Cu²⁺, PtCl ₆ ^2- , Co²⁺, Fe²⁺ et Sn²⁺. Avec la dernière, la sensibilité estpD = 4,7 et les interférences sont dues à Cu²⁺, Co²⁺, Ni²⁺, Fe²⁺, Sn²⁺, PtCl ₆ ^2- et VO ₃ ^- .Des réactions similaires peuvent être employées pour la recherche du mercure métallique mais de nombreux métaux interfèrent. D'autres systèmes redox peuvent être aussi utilisés mais ils se montrent moins convenables que les précédents.

     

Complexation of metal ions with the novel 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde-derived diamine Schiff base carrying a macrobicyclic moiety with N2O2S2 mixed donor in acetonitrile-dichloromethane

A new Schiff base containing a macrobicyclic moiety was designed and synthesized by reaction of the corresponding macrobicyclic diamine compound and 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde. The influence of metal cations such as Zn²⁺, Mn²⁺, Fe²⁺, Fe³⁺, Co²⁺, Ni²⁺ and Pb²⁺ on the spectroscopic properties of the 2-hydroxy-1-naphtyl group linked to the macrobicyclic moiety with N₂O₂S₂ mixed donor was investigated in acetonitrile-dichloromethane solution (9.5/0.5) by means of absorption and emission spectrometry. Emission spectra undergo a marked blue shift and enhancement of naphtyl fluorescence in the presence of Fe³⁺ and Zn²⁺. The presence of Pb²⁺, Mn²⁺, Fe²⁺, Co²⁺ and Ni²⁺ caused a quenching of naphtyl fluorescence. Especially, the quenching was higher than 90% in case of the interaction of Ni²⁺ and Co²⁺ with the ligand. The results of spectrophotometric and spectrofluorimetric titration experiments disclosed the complexation properties of the novel ligand with Zn²⁺, Co²⁺ and Ni²⁺ cations.

Bulgarian natural diatomites: modification and characterization

Natural Bulgarian diatomite modified by oxidation with sulfuric acid and H₂O₂ or by coating with manganese oxide was characterized considering its chemical composition, surface area, pore volume, and structure. Modified diatomites displayed larger surface area and pore volumes in comparison with untreated natural diatomite, which favored their sorption behavior. Sorption properties of diatomites towards Fe³⁺, Pb²⁺, Cu²⁺, Cd²⁺, Mn²⁺, Ni²⁺, Co²⁺, Cr³⁺, Pd²⁺, Ca²⁺, and Mg²⁺ were investigated and their sorption capacities were determined. Sorption properties of manganese oxide-modified diatomite were superior to those of diatomite modified by oxidation. Owing to its high sorption capacity towards Co²⁺, Ni²⁺, Pb²⁺, Cr³⁺, Fe²⁺, Cu²⁺, and Cd²⁺, the manganese oxide-modified diatomite is a promising low-cost sorbent for selective removal of milligram amounts of these toxic metal ions from contaminated water.     

Six,Seven or Eight Coordinate FeII,CoII or NiII Complexes of Amide‐Appended Tetraazamacrocycles for ParaCEST Thermometry

Fe^II, Co^II and Ni^II complexes of two tetraazamacrocycles (1,4,8,11‐tetrakis(carbamoylmethyl)‐1,4,8,11‐tetraazacyclotetradecane ( L1 ) and 1,4,7,10‐tetrakis(carbamoylmethyl)‐1,4,7,10‐tetraazacyclododecane ( L2 ) show promise as paraCEST agents for registration of temperature (paraCEST=paramagnetic chemical exchange saturation transfer). The Fe^II, Co^II and Ni^II complexes of L1 show up to four CEST peaks shifted ≤112 ppm, whereas analogous complexes of L2 show only a single CEST peak at ≤69 ppm. Comparison of the temperature coefficients (C_T) of the CEST peaks of [Co( L2 )]²⁺, [Fe( L2 )]²⁺, [Ni( L1 )]²⁺ and [Co( L1 )]²⁺ showed that a CEST peak of [Co( L1 )]²⁺ gave the largest C_T (?0.66 ppm ^oC^?1 at 4.7 T). NMR spectral and CEST properties of these complexes correspond to coordination complex symmetry as shown by structural data. The [Ni( L1 )]²⁺ and [Co( L1 )]²⁺ complexes have a six‐coordinate metal ion bound to the 1‐, 4‐amide oxygen atoms and four nitrogen atoms of the tetraazamacrocycle. The [Fe( L2 )]²⁺ complex has an unusual eight‐coordinate Fe^II bound to four amide oxygen atoms and four macrocyclic nitrogen atoms. For [Co( L2 )]²⁺, one structure has seven‐coordinate Co^II with three bound amide pendents and a second structure has a six‐coordinate Co^II with two bound amide pendents.

H2 evolution from H2O/H2O2/MWO4 (M = Fe2+, Co2+, Ni2+) systems by photocatalytic reaction

H₂ evolution from H₂O/H₂O₂/MWO₄ (M = Fe²⁺, Co²⁺, Ni²⁺) systems was studied for the first time. The MWO₄ (M = Fe²⁺, Co²⁺, Ni²⁺) powders were synthesized by a salt aqueous solution reaction followed by calcination. The light band gaps of the FeWO₄, CoWO₄, and NiWO₄ powders determined from UV–vis absorption spectra were 1.83, 2.58, and 2.86 eV, respectively. The experiment on the H₂ evolution from H₂O/H₂O₂/MWO₄ (M = Fe²⁺, Co²⁺, Ni²⁺) systems indicated that the efficiency increased in order of FeWO₄ > CoWO₄ > NiWO₄ and was larger under sunlight with strong intensity than under visible light.

Amino acid-based eluents are used for the chromatofocusing of metal ions on Tetren-SiO₂ chelating sorbent (silica with bonded tetraethylenepentamine groups) for the first time. The smoothest quasilinear pH gradients form for eluents based on glutamic and aspartic acids. The separation of Mn²⁺, Cr³⁺, Co²⁺, Ni²⁺, and Cu²⁺ is achieved.

Syntheses,Structures, and Bioactivities Evaluation of some Transition Metal Complexes with 4,4'-Diacetylcurcumin

Stoichiometric reactions of 4,4'-diacetylcurcumin ( HL ) with series of transition metal ions, namely Fe³⁺, Co²⁺, Ni²⁺ and Zn²⁺, in methanol result in the corresponding homoleptic metal complexes. All the obtained complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, high resolution mass spectrometry, IR spectroscopy, magnetic moment and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Structural analyses are unprecedentedly performed for the Fe^III, Co^II, and Ni^II complexes and reveal octahedral mononuclear complexes with the compositions [Fe(L)₃] and [M(L)₂(MeOH)₂] (M = Co²⁺, Ni²⁺, Zn²⁺) for trivalent and divalent metal ions, respectively. In all complexes, the deprotonated ligands serve as monoanionic and bidentate ligands with (O,O)-chelating β-diketonate moieties. The free ligand HL exhibits considerable antiproliferative effects for the human MCF-7 breast and HepG2 liver cancer cells with IC₅₀ values of 20.91 ± 2.16 μg · mL^–1 and 12.85 ± 1.85 μg · mL^–1, respectively. The Co^II and Zn^II complexes with IC₅₀ values in the range of 14.53–20.80 μg · mL^–1 for MCF-7 breast and 8.48–10.68 μg · mL^–1 for HepG2 liver cancer cells show stronger antiproliferative effects than HL, the Fe^III and Ni^II complexes cause weaker reductions of the growth of the two tested cancer cell lines.     

Preparation and formation process of Ni2+–Fe3+ CO32− LDHs materials with high crystallinity and well-defined hexagonal shapes

A new complexing agent assisted homogeneous precipitation technology was successfully developed to synthesize Ni²⁺–Fe³⁺ CO₃^2? LDHs materials with crystallinity and well-defined hexagonal shape [1]. By using urea as hydrolysis agent and trisodium citrate as complexing agent, Ni²⁺–Fe³⁺ CO₃^2? LDHs with different ratios of Ni²⁺/Fe³⁺ were prepared under optimized reaction conditions, and their formation process was discussed on the basis of the experimental results. Ni²⁺–Fe³⁺ CO₃^2? LDHs thin hexagonal nanoplates with high crystallinity were obtained for from the ratios of Ni²⁺/Fe³⁺ = 3 and 4, while Ni²⁺–Fe³⁺ CO₃^2? LDHs material from Ni²⁺/Fe³⁺ = 2 could not be obtained due to the formation of impurity β-Ni(OH)₂. The as-prepared Ni²⁺–Fe³⁺ CO₃^2? LDHs materials were completely converted to Cl^? LDHs materials by treating with a NaCl–HCl mixed solution, showing a good anion exchange property. Sodium fluoride, tartarate and trisodium citrate with different molecular structures were chosen as a complexing agent to investigate their effect on the crystalline and shape of the as-prepared materials. Not only had the molecular structure of the complexing agents but also the amount had an obvious effect in the formation of the as-prepared materials. Trisodium citrate played a key role for the formation of Ni²⁺–Fe³⁺ CO₃^2? LDHs materials with high crystalline and well-defined hexagonal shapes, which made the pH deposition range of Fe(OH)₃ increase due to the formation of metal ligand [Fe(C₆H₄O₇)₂]^5? when the pH of the reaction system was above 8. The formed metal ligand [Fe(C₆H₄O₇)₂]^5? changed the translation process of Fe(OH)₃ with Ni²⁺ ions, which reacted with free Ni²⁺ ions and formed Ni²⁺–Fe³⁺ CO₃^2? LDHs materials with high crystallinity and well-defined hexagonal shapes.     

Studies on the redox properties of the heteropolytungstosilicates substituted by transition elements

The redox properties of the tri-heteropolytungstosilicates of transition elements K_nSiZ(H₂O)W₁₁O₃₉ (Z ? Mn²⁺, Fe³⁺, Co²⁺, Ni²⁺, Zn²⁺, Cd²⁺). In solution have been studied with polarography and cyclic voltammetry as well as with ultraviolet spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The order of the polarographic half-wave potentials (E_1/2) of these heteropolyanions is as follows: Z?Ni²⁺>Co²⁺>Zn²⁺>Fe²⁺>Mn²⁺. We have found that the E_1/2 of heteropolyanions could be correlated linearly with both the electronegativities X of the transition elements and the logarithm of the rate constants (log k_e) of reaction of transition metal ions with hydrated electrons. The reduction mechanism and effects of transition elements on the redox properties of the heteropolyanions have been discussed.     

ADDUCTS OF THEOBROMINE WITH 3d METAL PERCHLORATES

Abstract

Adducts of theobromine (tbH) with 3d metal perchlorates (Mⁿ⁺ = Cr^3-. Mn²⁺, Fe²⁺, Fe³⁺, Co²⁺, Ni²⁺, Cu²⁺, Zn^2- I here prepared by refluxing mixtures of the Iigand and a metal salt in ethyl acetate-triethyl orthoformate. The new complexes invariably involve 2: 1 molar ratios of tbH to metal ion and are apparently monomeric with terminal tbH ligands binding riaa ring nitrogen (N9 or Nl). The Mn²⁺, Cu²⁺ and Zn^2- complexes are distorted tetrahedral, involving tuo tbH and two unidentate perchlorato ligands in the first coordination sphere of the metal ion. The remaining metal(II) complexes (Fe, Co, Ni) were obtained as monohydrates. These compounds are pentacoordinated of the [M(tbH)₂(OClO₃)₂(OH₂)] type, containing one aqua ligand in addition to the tbH and perchlorato ligands. The Cr³⁺ and Fe³⁺ complexes are low-symmetry hexacoordinated, with two tbH ligands. two unidentate and one bidentate chelating perchlorate Iigands.

Chemical factors such as pH, concentration and temperature affecting the removal of UO₂ ²⁺, Th⁴⁺, Fe³⁺, Cu²⁺, Pb²⁺,Cd²⁺, Ni²⁺, MnO₄ ^- and phenol by Eichornia crassipes aquatic plant from their solutions were examined. Maximum uptake of ions by Eichornia crassipes occurred at pH 4 to 6±0.5 at 25±3 °C. An initial rapid uptake phase for the first 6 hours followed by a slower near linear one was observed. One gram of Eichornia crassipes can accumulate about 25 mg UO₂ ²⁺, 5 mg Th⁴⁺, 30 mg Fe³⁺, 10 mg MnO₄ ^-, 15 mg Cu²⁺, 1.0 mg Pb²⁺, 1.5 mg Ni²⁺, 0.7 mg Cd²⁺ and or 25 mg of phenol.

A new insoluble solid functionalized ligand system bearing chelating ligand group of the general formula P-(CH₂)₃-N[CH₂CONH(C₆H₄)NH₂]₂, where P represents [Si–O] _n polysiloxane network, was prepared by the reaction of the immobilized diethyliminodiacetate polysiloxane ligand system, P-(CH₂)₃N(CH₂CO₂Et)₂ with 1,2-diaminobenzene in toluene. ¹³C CP-MAS NMR, XPS and FTIR results showed that most ethylacetate groups (–COOEt) were converted into the amide groups (–N–C=O). The new functionalized ligand system exhibits high capacity for extraction and removal of the metal ions (Fe³⁺, Co²⁺, Ni²⁺, Cu²⁺ and Zn²⁺) with efficiency of 95–97% after recovery from its primary metal complexes. This functionalized ligand system formed 1:1 metal to ligand complexes.

The FTIR and XPS results confirm the introduction of the macrocyclic functional ligand group into the polysiloxane network. The new macrocyclic polysiloxane ligand system exhibits high potential for the uptake of metal ions (Fe³⁺, Co²⁺, Ni²⁺, Cu²⁺ and Zn²⁺).     

Tridentate benzimidazole ligand and its metal complexes: Synthesis,characterization, photo physical and sensor properties

A tridentate bisbenzimidazole-pyridine ligand (L-C⁵) with two pentyl side-units and its metal complexes with Mn²⁺, Fe²⁺, Co²⁺, Ni²⁺, Cu²⁺ and Zn²⁺ metal ions were synthesized and characterized. The structures of the ligand (L-C⁵) and its five coordinate [Mn(L-C⁵)Cl₂] were elucidated by single crystal X-ray diffraction studies. The absorption and photoluminescence properties of the compounds were studied in solution media. The ligand is highly fluorescent, and binding of the metal ions to the ligand has caused significant changes in the emission band (shift or quenching). Moreover, the effect of aggregation on UV–Vis. absorption and emission properties was examined in MeOH-water mixtures. The ligand was found to show aggregation-induced quenching in the MeOH-water mixture. The ligand was also screened for its colorimetric and fluorometric sensing ability of several metal ions [Na⁺, K⁺, Mg²⁺, Al³⁺, Ca²⁺, Mn²⁺, Fe²⁺, Fe³⁺, Co²⁺, Ni²⁺, Cu²⁺, Zn²⁺, Hg²⁺, Pb²⁺]. The ligand showed selective sensing ability towards Zn²⁺, and the limit of detection was calculated as 3.09 × 10⁻⁷ m . The ligand also showed a distinguishable color change in the presence of Fe²⁺ under daylight.
