Extraction chromatographic study of aluminium(III) and mutual separation of aluminium(III), gallium(III), indium(III) and thallium(III) with N-n-octylaniline

A selective method has been developed for extraction chromatographic studies of aluminium(III) and its separation from several metal ions with a chromatographic column containing N-n-octylaniline (liquid anion exchanger) coated on silanized silica gel as a stationary phase. The aluminium(III) was quantitatively extracted with the 0.065 mol/L N-n-octylaninine from 0.013 to 0.05 mol/L sodium succinate at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The extracted metal ion has been recovered by eluting with 25.0 mL of 0.05 mol/L hydrochloric acid and estimated spectrophotometrically with aurintricarboxylic acid. The effects of the acid concentration, the reagent concentration, the flow rate and the eluting agents have been investigated. The log-log plots of distribution coefficient (KdAl(III)) versus N-n-octylaniline concentrationin 0.005 and 0.007 mol/L sodium succinate gave theslopes 0.5 and 0.7 respectively and showed theprobable composition of theextracted species was 1:1 (metal to amine ratio) and the nature of extracted species is [RR''NH2+ Al succinate2-] org. .The extraction of aluminium(III) was carried out in the presence of various ions to ascertain the tolerance limit of individual ions. Aluminium(III) has been separated from multicomponent mixtures, pharmaceutical samples and synthetic mixtures corresponding to alloys. A scheme for mutual separation of aluminium(III), indium(III), gallium(III) and thallium(III) has been developed by using suitable masking agents. The method is fast, accurate and precise.     

Intensity-tunable micelles and films containing bimetal ions—europium(III) and terbium(III)

In this paper, multicolored micelles were prepared by coordination of lanthanide(III) (europium(III) (Eu(III)) and terbium(III) (Tb(III))) ions with block copolymer in different molar ratios of n _Eu(III)/n _Tb(III). The micelles formed by polymer–Eu(III)/Tb(III) could emit higher quantum yield luminescence than the mixture of polymer–Eu(III) micelles and polymer–Tb(III) micelles. The micelles containing Eu(III) and Tb(III) could emit a yellow-green color, and the intensity varied with the molar ratios of n _Eu(III)/n _Tb(III). In the constant concentrations of Eu(III) and 1,10-phenanthroline (Phen), the intensity of ⁵D₀→⁷F₂ increased with the addition of Tb(III), and the intensity of ⁵D₄→⁷F₅ decreased with the increasing of Eu(III) in the constant concentrations of Tb(III) and Phen. All the multicolored micelles could be spin-coated as intensity-tunable films.     

Planar tetranuclear Dy(III) single-molecule magnet and its Sm(III), Gd(III), and Tb(III) analogues encapsulated by salen-type and β-diketonate ligands

The syntheses, structures, and magnetic properties are reported for four new lanthanide clusters [Sm(4)(μ(3)-OH)(2)L(2)(acac)(6)]·4H(2)O (1), [Gd(4)(μ(3)-OH)(2)L(2)(acac)(6)]·4CH(3)CN (2), and [Ln(4)(μ(3)-OH)(2)L(2)(acac)(6)]·2H(2)L·2CH(3)CN (3, Ln = Tb; 4, Ln = Dy) supported by salen-type (H(2)L = N,N'-bis(salicylidene)-1,2-cyclohexanediamine) and β-diketonate (acac = acetylacetonate) ligands. The four clusters were confirmed to be essentially isomorphous by infrared spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Their crystal structures reveal that the salen-type ligand provides a suitable tetradentate coordination pocket (N(2)O(2)) to encapsulate lanthanide(III) ions. Moreover, the planar Ln(4) core is bridged by two μ(3)-hydroxide, four phenoxide, and two ketonate oxygen atoms. Magnetic properties of all four compounds have been investigated using dc and ac susceptibility measurements. For 4, the static and dynamic data indicate that the Dy(4) complex exhibits slow relaxation of the magnetization below 5 K associated with single-molecule magnet behavior.     

Transport behaviour of the lanthanide 152Eu(III), 153Gd(III) and 170Tm(III) and transplutonium element 254Es(III), 244Cm(III), 241Am(III), 249Cf(III) and 249Bk(III) ions in aqueous solutions at 298 K

Ionic self-diffusion coefficients (D) for trivalent radiotracers, lanthanide and actinide ions have been determined in concentrated aqueous solutions of supporting electrolytes of Gd(NO₃)₃–HNO₃ or Nd(ClO₃)₄–HClO₄ up to 1.5 mol L^?1 at 298.15 K and pH 2.50 by the open-end capillary method. The data obtained in large range of concentrations, allow to derive the limiting value D°, the validity of the Onsager limiting law and a more extended law. This study contributes to demonstrate similarities in transport and structure properties between 4f and 5f trivalent ions explained by a similar electronic configuration, ionic radius and hydration number. An empirical equation is suggested for predicting ionic hydration number with a good precision.     

Synthesis,thermal study and some properties of Gd(III), Tb(III), Dy(III) and Er(III) complexes with 4,4′-bipyridine and dibromoacetates

Journal of Thermal Analysis and Calorimetry - New complexes with formulae: Ln(4-bpy)(CBr2HCOO)3·3H2O (where Ln(III) = Gd, Tb, Dy) and Er(4-bpy)1.5(CBr2HCOO)3·3H2O, were...     

Complexation of Sc(III), Ga(III), In(III) and Ln(III) with Eriochrome Red B

Cyclic linear-sweep voltammetry was used to study the complexation of Sc(III), Ga(III), In(III) and Ln(III) with eriochrome red B (ERB). It was established that all metal ions investigated form complex compounds with azodye having a mole ratio, M(III):ERB = 1:2. The hydroxo forms of M(III) ions, which take part in interaction with ERB, were determined by the Nazarenko method. The stability constants for the formation of these chelates are nearly the same. It was shown that the reduction of the ligand in the complex does not only depend on the peculiarities of complexation, but the processes occurring in pre-electrode layer also influence it.

Reaction of [(η ⁵-C₅Me₅)M(μ-Cl)Cl]₂ {M?=?Rh (1), Ir (2)} and [(η ⁵-C₅Me₅)MCl₂(DBT)] (DBT?=?dibenzothiophene) {M?=?Rh (3), Ir (4)} with polypyridyl ligands 2,3-bis(2-pyridyl)pyrazine (bpp), 2,3-bis(2-pyridyl)quinoxaline (bpq), 1,3,5-tris(2-pyridyl)-2,4,6-triazine (tptz), 2,3,5,6-tetrakis(2-pyridyl)pyrazine (tppz) and 4′-pyridyl-2,2′:6′,2′′-terpyridine (py-terpy) results in the formation of mononuclear cationic complexes, [(η ⁵-C₅Me₅)MCl(poly-py)]⁺ (poly-py?=?polypyridyl ligand). The complexes were isolated as hexafluorophosphate salts and characterized by IR and NMR spectroscopy.     

Syntheses of (imidazole)pentaamminemetal(III) and μ-imidazolatodecaamminedimetal(III) complexes from trifluoromethanesulfonato precursors

The [M(NH₃)₅(imidH)]³⁺ complex ions (M = Co, Rh or Ir; imidH = imidazole) can be readily prepared by reaction of [M(NH₃)₅(OSO₂CF₃)]²⁺ ions with imidazole in sulfolane. Subsequent reaction of [M′(NH₃)₅(OSO₂CF₃)]²⁺ with [M(NH₃)₅(imidH)]³⁺ in sulfolane in the presence of a non-coordinating base permits synthesis of the binuclear imidazolate-bridged complexes [(NH₃)₅M(imid)M′(NH₃)₅]⁵⁺ (M = M′= Co or Rh; M = Co, M′ = Rh), characterized by spectroscopic, chromatographic and voltammetric methods, and by reactivity.     

Synthesis,Spectra and Crystal Structure of Tetrakis(Triphenylarsine Oxide)Iron(III)-μ-Oxo-Tribromoiron(III) Tetrabromoferrate(III)-Acetonitrile

The oxidation of triphenylarsine with dioxygen in reaction systems containing some iron compound and Br^- anions in acetonitrile leads to the formation of a novel unsymmetrical oxo-bridged diiron(III) complex [(OAsPh₃)₄ Fe(μ-O)FeBr₃]⁺ [FeBr₄]^- ·CH₃CN, where OAsPh₃ is triphenylarsine oxide. The title complex is also formed by direct reaction of iron(III) bromide and OAsPh₃ with dioxygen in acetonitrile solution. The crystal structure of the complex was solved by X-ray diffraction techniques. The cation contains two unsymmetrical species with an Fe-O-Fe bond angle of 159.2(2)°; one iron atom is pentacoordinated by four OAsPh₃ ligands and a γ-oxo ligand which connects the tetracoordinated Fe atom with the FeBr₃O chromophore. Structural parameters and IR spectra of similar complexes are compared and discussed.     

Adsorption and Structural Properties of Montmorillonite Pillared by Cr(III) and Cr(III)–Cu(II) Hydroxocomplexes

The sorption and structural parameters and thermal stability of montmorillonite pillared by Cr(III) polyhydroxocomplexes and heteronuclear Cr(III)–Cu(II) polyhydroxocomplexes were investigated. It was shown that the introduction of intercalating Cr(III) and Cr(III)–Cu(II) agents into the montmorillonite increased the value of the first basal reflection (d ₀₀₁) up to 1.85 nm in the first case and up to 1.98 nm, in the second. The dependence of the values of d ₀₀₁and specific surface area on the OH^–/Cr³⁺ratio was found, which is retained during the calcination of the samples up to 500–800°C. The sorption ability of the prepared samples with respect to acetone, ethanol, benzene, toluene, and water was investigated.     

Complexation of Eu(III), Am(III) and Cm(III) with Dicarboxylates: Thermodynamics and Structural Aspects of the Binary and Ternary Complexes

The complexation of Eu(III), Am(III) and Cm(III) with dicarboxylate anions with O, N or S donor groups was measured in I=6.60 mol⋅kg⁻¹ (NaClO₄) at temperatures of 0–60 °C by potentiometry and solvent extraction. The complexation thermodynamics of these complexes show that their stability is due to highly favorable complexation entropies because the complexation enthalpies are endothermic. Luminescence studies with Eu(III) and Cm(III) were used to measure the hydration numbers of the complexes. NMR spectra of ¹H and ¹³C were used to determine the binding modes of La(III) with the ligands. The formation of 1:1:1 ternary complexes of M(EDTA)⁻ with the dicarboxylate ligands was studied to determine changes in coordination of the metal cation with formation of the ternary species. The complexation of ternary complexes changes from bidentate to monodentate as the chain length between the binding sites of the dicarboxylates increases from 1 (malonate) to 4 (adipate). DFT computations were used to confirm the structural aspects of the interaction of these complexes.     

Solvatochromism and piezochromism of pentacyanoferrates(II) and of mixed valence iron(II)—iron(III) and ruthenium(II)—ruthenium(III) species

Pressure effects on the MLCT bands of the pyrazine- and 4-cyanopyridine-pentacyanoferrate(II) anions have been established. The relation of these piezochromic effects to the solvatochromism of each complex is put into the correlation between these parameters developed for other d⁶ ternary complexes. The conformance of piezochromic and solvatochromic efrects on MMCT bands for diiron and diruthenium mixed valence complexes to this correlation is examined.     

Thermal behavior and other properties of Pr(III), Sm(III), Eu(III), Gd(III), Tb(III) complexes with 4,4′-bipyridine and trichloroacetates

A novel mixed-ligand complexes with empirical formulae: Ln(4-bpy)_1.5(CCl₃COO)₃·nH₂O (where Ln(III) = Pr, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb; n = 1 for Pr, Sm, Eu and n = 3 for Gd, Tb; 4-bpy = 4,4′-bipyridine) were prepared and characterized by chemical, elemental analysis and IR spectroscopy. Conductivity studies (in methanol, dimethylformamide and dimethylsulfoxide) were also described. All complexes are crystalline. The way of metal–ligand coordination was discussed. The thermal properties of complexes in the solid state were studied under non-isothermal conditions in air atmosphere. During heating the complexes decompose via intermediate products to the oxides: Pr₆O₁₁, Ln₂O₃ (for Sm, Eu, Gd) and Tb₄O₇. TG-MS system was used to analyze principal volatile thermal decomposition and fragmentation products evolved during pyrolysis of Pr(III) and Sm(III) compounds in air.

The ionic mixed-ligand bimetallic complex [Er(?-C₆H₁₁NO)₈][Cr(NCS)₆] has been synthesized and studied by X-ray diffraction analysis. The crystals are monoclinic, space group C2/c, a = 39.627(2) Å, b = 22.3406(11) Å, c = 23.7155(10) Å, β = 107.687(2)°, V = 20 002.9(16) ų, Z = 12, ρ_calcd = 1.467 g/cm³. The coordination polyhedron of the erbium atom is a distorted square antiprism formed by the oxygen atoms of the organic ligands. The Er-O bond lengths vary within 2.29–2.44 Å. The coordination polyhedron of the chromium atom is a slightly distorted octahedron, and the Cr-N bond lengths range from 1.99 to 2.01 Å.     

Synthesis,crystal structure and other properties of the complexes of Er(III), Yb(III) and Lu(III) with 4,4′-bipyridine and dichloroacetates

A novel mixed-ligand complexes of Er(III), Yb(III) and Lu(III) with title ligands were prepared and characterized by chemical and elemental analysis and IR spectroscopy, conductivity (in methanol, dimethyloformamide and dimethylsulphoxide). The thermal properties of complexes in the solid state were studied. The mode of metal–ligand coordination was discussed. The title compounds are isomorphic and isostructural in solid state. All atoms in studied compounds lie in general positions but occurrence of inversion on the midpoint of the bond linking two pyridine rings leads to existence in asymmetric unit one complex molecule and half of outer coordination sphere 4-bpy molecule. All chelating carboxylate groups are symmetrically bonded to the metal cations. The molecules of studied compounds are connected to the three dimensional network via O–H···O and O–H···N intermolecular hydrogen bonds. In the structures also exist C–H···O, C–H···Cl weak hydrogen bonds and π····π stacking interactions.

In this work, we describe the syntheses, characterization, and antifungal activity of [In{S₂CNR(R¹)}₃] (1), [Ga{S₂CNR(R¹)}₃] (2), [Bi{S₂CNR(R¹)}₃] (3), [In{S₂CNR(R²)}₃] (4), [Ga{S₂CNR(R²)}₃] (5), and [Bi{S₂CNR(R²)}₃] (6) {R?=?Me; R¹?=?CH₂CH(OMe)₂; and R²?=?2-methyl-1,3-dioxolane}. All complexes have been characterized using infrared and ¹H and ¹³C spectroscopy, and the structures of 1, 3, 4, and 6 have been authenticated by X-ray diffraction. The In(III)–dithiocarbamate bonding scheme depicts a distorted octahedral with asymmetric In(III)–S bonds and S–In–S angles. A pentagonal bipyramid is observed for the corresponding Bi(III) complexes with intermolecular Bi–S associations through the lone pair of electrons. The antifungal activities of 1–6 have been screened against Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus parasiticus, and Penicillium citrinum, and the results have been compared with those of nystatin and miconazole nitrate, as control drugs.     

σ-Bonded organometallic derivatives of yttrium(III) and thulium(III): An unusual ligand coupling reaction mediated by thulium(III)

The reaction between LnI₃(THF)_3.5 and 2 equiv. of {(Me₃Si)₂(Me₂MeOSi)C}K (1) in THF at room temperature yields only the mono-substituted products {(Me₃Si)₂(Me₂MeOSi)C}LnI₂(THF)₂ [Ln = Y (5), Tm (6)]; under more forcing conditions decomposition occurs. In contrast, the metathesis reaction between TmI₃(THF)_3.5 and 2 equiv. of the lithium iodide-containing salt {(Me₃Si)₂(Me₂MeOSi)C}K(LiI)_x yields the highly unusual separated ion pair complex [[{(Me₃Si)₂C(SiMe₂)}₂O]TmI₂{Li(THF)₃}₂][[{(Me₃Si)₂C(SiMe₂)}₂O]TmI₂] (8). The dianionic ligand in 8 is derived from the coupling of 2 equiv. of (Me₃Si)₂(Me₂MeOSi)C⁻, accompanied by the formal elimination of Me₂O. The structures of compounds 5, 6, and 8 have been determined by X-ray crystallography; compound 8 crystallizes as an unusual ion pair, the cation and anion of which differ only in the inclusion of 2 equiv. of Li(THF)₃ in the former, bridged to thulium by iodide ions.

Synthesis and Characterization of Chromium(III), Molybdenum(III), Ruthenium(III) and Osmium(III) Complexes with N2O2–Schiff Bases of 2-Hydroxy-1-Naphthaldimines

Monomolybdenum, monochromium, triosmium and triruthenium clusters, containing weakly coordinated ligands, are valuable starting materials for the preparation of a wide variety of compounds because of the ease with which these ligands can be displaced by another substrate under mild conditions. Four widely used complexes of this type are Mo(CO)₆, Cr(CO)₆, Os₃(CO)₁₂ and Ru₃(CO)₁₂ respectively. These complexes react with 2-hydroxy-1-naphthaldimines to give octahedral complexes which are characterized by elemental analyses, i.r. and u.v.–vis. spectra, molar conductances, d.t.a. and t.g.a. analyses, cyclic voltammetry, magnetic and e.s.r. measurements. The molar conductances in DMF solution indicate that the complexes are non-ionic. The i.r. spectra of complexes (3), (7) and (10) show (CO) bands due to bonded CO groups, however complexes (6) and (13) show (CO) bands due to bonded, bridged and terminal CO groups. The g ₁₁-values of the complexes indicate that they have covalent bond character. Also, the electrochemical reduction of the complexes has been discussed.
