The Stability of Metal N,N,N′,N′‐Tetrakis(2‐aminoethyl)ethane‐ 1,2‐diamine (=penten) Complexes and the X‐Ray Crystal Structure of [Tl(NO3)(penten)](NO3)2

Complex formation between N,N,N′,N′‐tetrakis(2‐aminoethyl)ethane‐1,2‐diamine (penten) and the metal ions Mn²⁺, Co²⁺, Cu²⁺, Zn²⁺, Cd²⁺, Hg²⁺, Ag⁺, Pb²⁺, and Tl³⁺ (in 1.00M NaNO₃ and 25°) was investigated by potentiometry and spectrophotometry.

Pulse radiolysis study of one-electron oxidation of thionine in aqueous solutions

One-electron oxidation of thionine has been studied using specific oxidizing radicals such as Cl⁻Tl(II) and N₃ generated by pulse radiolysis of aqueous solutions. The semioxidized thionine exhibited threepK’s indicating four conjugate acid-base forms. N₃ radicals were found to be less efficient in oxidizing thionine as compared to Cl ₂ ⁻ , Tl²⁺ and Tl(OH)⁺. The rate constants for electron abstraction from thionine by Cl ₂ ⁻ , Tl²⁺, Tl(OH)⁺, Tl(OH)₂ and N₃ were evaluated. The spectra of different protonated forms of semioxidized thionine and the extinction coefficients at λ_max are presented. Reaction of OH radicals with thionine gave transient products whose spectra and acid-base properties were different from those of semioxidized thionine. The rate constant for formation of the product transient agrees well with competition kinetic value for reaction of OH with thionine reported earlier.     

Pulse radiolytic studies of metallic clusters in a quaternary microemulsion system

The radiation-chemical reduction of Tl⁺, Co²⁺ and Ni²⁺ ions in water-in-oil microemulsion has been described. Rate constants for the reduction of the metal ions by e^- _aq were found to be much lower compared to those in aqueous solution. The absorption spectrum and the rate constants of formation of the transient intermediates of metal clusters were correlated with the water-pool size, surrounding environment and compared with data in aqueous solution. Tl₂ ⁺ reacts with Cd²⁺ with k = 1.1 × 10⁸ M^-1 s^-1. Reactions of Tl₂ ⁺ and Co⁺ with Ag⁺ leads to the formation of Ag metal particles. No reaction was observed from Cd⁺ to Tl⁺ or Co²⁺. The results are discussed in terms of dynamic exchange of materials between the polar cores of microemulsion. This exchange facilitates formation of silver particles.

Kinetics and mechanism of the oxidation of [N-(2-hydroxy-ethyl)ethylenediamine-N,N′,N′-triacetatocobalt(II)] by vanadate ion

The kinetics of oxidation of Co^IIHEDTA {HEDTA = N-(2-hydroxyethyl)ethylenediamine-N,N,N-triacetic acid} by vanadate ion have been studied in aqueous acid in the pH range 0.75–5.4 at 43–57 °C. The reaction exhibits second-order kinetics; first-order in each of the reactants. The reaction rate is a maximum at pH = 2.1. A mechanism is proposed in which the species [Co^IIHEDTA(H₂O)]^– and VO₂ ⁺ react to form an intermediate which decompose slowly to give pentadentate Co^IIIHEDTA(H₂O) and V^IV as final products. The rate law was derived and the activation parameters calculated: H* = 26.96 kJ mol^–1 and S* = –311.08 JK^–1 mol^–1.     

Crystal Structure and Thermal Stability of Ag3(CHF2COO)3(H2O)2

X-ray diffraction analysis of [Ag₃(CHF₂COO)₃(H₂O)₂] revealed that its crystals are orthorhombic: space group Cmca, a = 13.809(4) Å, b = 15.975(2) Å, c = 12.244(2) Å, Z = 8. The thermogravimetric analysis showed that under the atmosphere of N₂ and at 101.3 kPa, silver difluoroacetate melts at 488 K; the thermal decomposition reaction occurs in the interval 493–548 K with the formation of Ag. Under the mass-spectral experiment conditions at 521 K, two processes occur simultaneously, namely, evaporation and decomposition. The following ions were detected in the mass-spectrum of silver difluoroacetate: Ag₂L⁺, Ag₂R⁺, Ag₂F⁺, Ag₂O⁺, Ag₂ ⁺, Ag⁺, LH⁺, RCO⁺, R⁺ (L = CHF₂COO, R = CHF₂).     

Sorption behaviour of rubidium,thallium and silver on chromium ferricyanide gel binary separations of Rb+ and Tl+

Sorption behaviour of monovalent Rb⁺, Tl⁺ and Ag⁺ is studied on chromium fericyanide gel. Log K_d vs log concentration plots show that Rb⁺ and Tl⁺ are sorbed through ion exchange mechanism in a higher concentration range of ammonium nitrate or nitric acid, whereas the adsorption of Ag⁺ is irreversible. It was found possible to elute Rb⁺ and Tl⁺ on the columns of this gel by 4 mol dm⁻³ NH₄NO₃ and 10 mol dm⁻³ HNO₃, respectively. Binary separations of Rb⁺ and Tl⁺ from a number of other metal ions were achieved as other ions were found practically unadsorbed on these columns and were eluted with water of pH 2–3. Achieved separations are of radioanalytical and analytical importance.

Mechanism of silver nucleation upon the radiation-induced reduction of its ions in polyphosphate-containing aqueous solutions

Long-lived (hours to days) silver clusters, Ag ₄ ²⁺ , Ag ₄ ⁺ , Ag ₈ ²⁺ , etc., are formed upon the radiation-induced reduction of Ag⁺ ions in aqueous solutions containing sodium polyphosphate. The efficiency of the cluster formation decreases and the stability of the clusters increase with a rise in the concentration of the polymeric stabilizer. In the course of the aggregation of clusters, their sizes increase, quasi-metallic particles emerge, and the process terminates with the formation of silver nanoparticles. The mechanism of silver nucleation upon the radiation-induced reduction of silver ions in aqueous solutions is discussed.     

Tetrathiaoxa Macrocycles with Dibenzo-subunits: A Search for New Tl(I)- and Ag(I)-Selective Ionophores

Novel S⁴O ⁿ mixed donor macrocycles (1, n=1; 2, n=2) were synthesized by the coupling reactions of corresponding dichlorides with dithiols under high dilution conditions. Synthesis and crystal structures of Tl⁺ and Ag⁺ complexes, [Tl(2)⁺ and Ag(2)⁺], with macrocycle 2 are described. The electrode based on macrocycle 2 showed excellent potentiometric sensing ability for Tl⁺ and Ag⁺ ions. This remarkable sensing of the proposed electrode can be understood in terms of the synergy effect of a soft–soft acid–base interaction and π-coordination, especially for the Tl⁺ ion, which was observed from the crystal structure of the corresponding complex.     

205Tl NMR studies: Ion pairing of Tl+ and (CH3)2Tl+ with NO 3 − and ClO 4 − in various solvents

The concentration dependence of the²⁰⁵Tl chemical shifts of Tl⁺ and of (CH₃)₂Tl⁺ ions was determined in several solvents with NO ₃ ^– and ClO ₄ ^– counterions. In general, increased ion pairing caused a low-frequency shift of the²⁰⁵Tl resonance, with the exceptions of (CH₃)₂TlNO₃ inn-butylamine and TlNO₃ in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) and in hexamethylphosphorotriamide (HMPA). In HMPA,²⁰⁵Tl linewidths of both Tl⁺ and (CH₃)₂Tl⁺ increased dramatically with dilution below 0.1M. Analysis of the data allowed ion-pair formation constants and²⁰⁵Tl chemical shifts for the ion-paired cation and for the free (solvated) cation to be estimated for some of the solvents.

Effect of silver ions on codischarge of copper and silver at a platinum electrode at the copper underpotentials

Codischarge of copper and silver ions at potentials more positive than the equilibrium potential of the Cu⁺²/Cu system is studied by the voltammetry technique. At the Ag⁺ concentrationc below 10^-7 M, silver ions make no noticeable impact on the formation of a Cu_ad monolayer but decelerate that of supermonolayers of Cu at almost equilibrium potentials. Atc ≥ 4 × 10^-5 M, voltammograms indicate the concurrent adsorption of Cu_ad and Ag_ad and the nucleation and deposition of phase Ag     

Thiophosphorylated cavitand: structure and affinity towards soft metal ions

The iiii stereoisomer of the tetrathiophosphonate-calix[4]resorcinarene host 1 exhibited excellent extraction properties towards soft metal ions, with a better affinity for Ag⁺ (91%), than for Tl⁺ (38%) and Hg²⁺ (16%). The extraction of other picrate salts (Cu²⁺, Ni²⁺, Co²⁺, Zn²⁺, Cd²⁺, Pb²⁺) was not detected. The stoichiometry and the structure of the Hg²⁺, Tl⁺ and Ag⁺ complexes were studied by NMR in solution and gave respectively 1:1, 1:1 and 1:2 host-guest complexes. The formation of the self-assembled 1₂·(AgPic)₄ complex was independent on the anion and only observed with silver(I) ion.     

Minocycline‐Based Europium(III) Chelate Complexes: Synthesis,Luminescent Properties,and Labeling to Streptavidin

Two chelate ligands for europium(III) having minocycline (=(4S,4aS,5aR,12aS)‐4,7‐bis(dimethylamino)‐1,4,4a,5,5a,6,11,12a‐octahydro‐3,10,12,12a‐tetrahydroxy‐1,11‐dioxonaphthacene‐2‐carboxamide; 5 ) as a VIS‐light‐absorbing group were synthesized as possible VIS‐light‐excitable stable Eu³⁺ complexes for protein labeling. The 9‐amino derivative 7 of minocycline was treated with H₆TTHA (=triethylenetetraminehexaacetic acid=3,6,9,12‐tetrakis(carboxymethyl)‐3,6,9,12‐tetraazatetradecanedioic acid) or H₅DTPA (=diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid=N,N‐bis{2‐[bis(carboxymethyl)amino]ethyl}glycine) to link the polycarboxylic acids to minocycline. One of the Eu³⁺ chelates, [Eu³⁺(minocycline‐TTHA)] ( 13 ), is moderately luminescent in H₂O by excitation at 395 nm, whereas [Eu³⁺(minocycline‐DTPA)] ( 9 ) was not luminescent by excitation at the same wavelength. The luminescence and the excitation spectra of [Eu³⁺(minocycline‐TTHA)] ( 13 ) showed that, different from other luminescent Eu^III chelate complexes, the emission at 615 nm is caused via direct excitation of the Eu³⁺ ion, and the chelate ligand is not involved in the excitation of Eu³⁺. However, the ligand seems to act for the prevention of quenching of the Eu³⁺ emission by H₂O. The fact that the excitation spectrum of [Eu³⁺(minocycline‐TTHA)] is almost identical with the absorption spectrum of Eu³⁺ aqua ion supports such an excitation mechanism. The high stability of the complexes of [Eu³⁺(minocycline‐DTPA)] ( 9 ) and [Eu³⁺(minocycline‐TTHA)] ( 13 ) was confirmed by UV‐absorption semi‐quantitative titrations of H₄(minocycline‐DTPA) ( 8 ) and H₅(minocycline‐TTHA) ( 12 ) with Eu³⁺. The titrations suggested also that an 1 : 1 ligand Eu³⁺ complex is formed from 12 , whereas an 1 : 2 complex was formed from 8 minocycline‐DTPA. The H₅(minocycline‐TTHA) ( 12 ) was successfully conjugated to streptavidin (SA) (Scheme 5), and thus the applicability of the corresponding Eu³⁺ complex to label a protein was established.     

Preparation and characterization of stable monodisperse silver nanoparticles via photoreduction

Silver nanoparticles were synthesized by UV irradiation of [Ag(NH₃)₂]⁺ aqueous solution using poly(N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone) (PVP) as both reducing and stabilizing agents. The formation of silver nanoparticles was confirmed from the appearance of surface plasmon absorption maxima around 420 nm. It was found that the formation rate of silver nanoparticles from Ag₂O was much quicker than that from AgNO₃, and the absorption intensity increased with PVP concentration as well as irradiation time. The maximum absorption wavelength (λ_max) was blue shift with increasing PVP content until 8 times concentration of [Ag(NH₃)₂]⁺ (wt%). The transmission electron microscopy (TEM) showed the resultant particles were 4–6 nm in size, monodisperse and uniform particle size distribution. X-ray diffraction (XRD) demonstrated that the colloidal nanoparticles were the pure silver. In addition, the silver nanoparticles prepared by the method were stable in aqueous solution over a period of 6 months at room temperature (25 °C).
