Formation of Tc(III)-EDTA complex

Tc(III)-EDTA complex has been synthesized by the ligand substitution reaction of hexakis-(thiourea) technetium(III) ion with EDTA. The complex exhibits absorption maxima at 368 and 470 nm. The formation reaction proceeds predominantly as follows:

Formation of a Tc(III)-adenosine diphosphate complex

A⁹⁹Tc-ADP complex was prepared when KTcO₄ was reduced in aquous medium by SnCl₂, Na₂S₂O₄, NaBH₄ or Zn in the presence of ADP in excess. The resulting solution was studied by chromatography and spectrophotometry. Electrochemical reduction and substitution on [Tc^III(tu)₆]³⁺ were investigated as alternative synthetic routes. The anionic Tc-ADP complex was isolated as a solid. Cerimetric titrations confirmed the oxidation state +3 for the central atom. IR and¹H-NMR data showed that the purine base is bonded to the Tc central atom but not the ribose moiety. No oxo groups seemed to be directly bonded to the Tc atom. The complex is rather stable in neutral solutions. However, it decomposes to pertechnetate and TcO₂ at extreme pH values.     

Formation of ferrocyanides-III Fe(III), La(III) and Ce(III)

Potassium ferrocyanide forms Fe(4)[Fe(Cn)(6)](3) with Fe(III), KLaFe(CN)(6) with La(III) and KCeFe(CN)(6) with Ce(III). The thermodynamic data for the two lanthanide compounds have been determined.     

Formation of new monomeric Pd(III) complex species with 8-aminoquinoline

By means of EPR and magnetochemical methods the formation of 3 new Pd(III) complex species is proved resulting from the reaction of PdCl₄ ²⁻ and 8-aminoquinoline (8-AQ) in basic (aqueous or aqueous-methanolic) medium. Elemental analysis, visible and IR data for the complexes are also obtained.     

Formation of a heteronuclear hydrolysis complex in the Th(IV)-Fe(III) system

The speciation in the mixed Th(IV)-Fe(III) system has been studied in aqueous solution in the pH range of 2.0-4.8. In the individual systems iron(III) and thorium(IV) hydrolyze easily and hydrolysis products precipitate at approximately pH ≥ 2.0 and 4.0, respectively, at the metal concentrations used in this study, 0.02-0.05 mol dm(-3). In the mixed Th(IV)-Fe(III) system precipitation of ferrihydrite takes place after months of storage at low pH values, 2.0 (six-line ferrihydrite) and 2.3 (two-line ferrihydrite), as identified by X-ray powder diffraction. In the pH range 2.9-4.5 no precipitation was observed after 24 months. Two thorium(IV)-iron(III) solutions with pH = 2.9, C(Th) = 0.02 and 0.05 mol dm(-3) and C(Fe) = 0.02 mol dm(-3), were studied by extended X-ray absorption fine structure, EXAFS, using the Fe K and Th L(3) edges, and a third solution with pH = 2.9 and C(Th) = C(Fe) = 0.40 mol dm(-3) by large angle X-ray scattering, LAXS, to determine the structure of the predominating species. A heteronuclear hydrolysis complex with the composition [Th(2)Fe(2)(μ(2)-OH)(8)(H(2)O)(12)](6+) is proposed to form in solution, with Th···Th, Th···Fe and Fe···Fe distances of 3.94(2) and 3.96(2), 3.41(3) and 3.43(2), 3.04(2) and 3.02(4) ?, as determined by EXAFS and LAXS, respectively.

Synthetic and kinetic studies on copper(II), nickel(II) and cobalt(III) complexes of 1,4,7,10,13-pentaazacyclohexadecane ([16]aneN5)

Summary The pentadentate macrocycle 1,4,7,10,13-penta-azacyclo-hexadecane [16]aneN₅=(3)=L} has been prepared and a variety of copper(II), nickel(II) and cobalt(III) complexes of the ligand characterised. The copper complex [CuL](ClO₄)₂, on the basis of its d-d spectrum, appears to be square pyramidal, while [NiL(H₂O)](ClO₄)₂ is octahedral. The copper(II) and nickel(II) complexes dissociate readily in acidic solution and these reactions have been studied kinetically. For the copper(II) complex, rate=k_H[complex][H⁺]² with k_H =4.8 dm⁶ mol^–2s^–1 at 25 °C and I=1.0 mol dm^–3 (NaClO₄) with H=43 kJ mol^–1 and S ₂₉₈ =–89 JK^–1 mol^–1. Dissociation rates of the copper(II) complexes increase with ring size in the order: [15]aneN₅ < [16]aneN₅ < [17]aneN₅. For the dissociation of the nickel(II) complex, rate=k_H[Complex][H⁺] with k_H=9.4×10^–3 dm³mol^–1 s^–1 at 25 °C and I =1.0 mol dm^–3 (NaClO₄) with H=71 kJ mol^–1 and S ₂₉₈ =–47 JK^–1mol^–1.The cobalt(III) complexes, [CoLCl](ClO₄)₂, [CoL(H₂O)]-(ClO₄)₃, [CoL(NO₂)](ClO₄)₂, [CoL(DMF)](ClO₄)₃ (DMF=dimethylformamide) and [CoL(O₂CH)](ClO₄)₂ have been characterised. The chloropentamine [CoCl([16]aneN₅)]²⁺ undergoes rapid base hydrolysis with k_OH=1.1× 10⁵dm³ mol^–1s^–1 at 25°C and I=0.1 mol dm^–3 (H=73 kJ mol^–1 and S ₂₉₈ =98 JK^–1 mol^–1). Rapid base hydrolysis of [CoL(NO₂)]²⁺ is also observed and the origins of these effects are considered in detail.     

Standard Enthalpies of Formation of Neodymium(III) and Erbium(III) Succinates and Malates

The enthalpies of solution of neodymium(III) and erbium(III) succinates and malates in the system HCl ? 100H₂O were determined and used to calculate the standard enthalpies of formation of these salts.     

Formation and transformation of Amminecarbonatocobalt(III) Complexes

The preparation is described of [CoCO₃(NH₃)₅]ClO₄ · H₂O, trans-[CoCO₃(NH₃)₄(¹⁵NH₃)]ClO₄, and trans-[CoCO₃(NH₃)₄(NH₂CH₃)]ClO₄. The transformation reactions of these complexes, in which a chelate carbonate ligand is formed and one NH₃ is eliminated, were studied in solution and in the solid state. ¹H NMR spectroscopy is used for the identification of the products. It is shown that the transformation reactions are not stereospecific.     

Formation and characterization of a six-coordinate iron(III) complex with the most ruffled porphyrin ring

The six-coordinate iron(III) porphyrin complex, [Fe(T(i)PrP)(2-MeBzIm)(2)](+), having the most ruffled porphyrin ring shows some unusual properties; the complex adopts the pure (d(xz), d(yz))(4)(d(xy))(1) ground state below 200 K in spite of the coordination of an imidazole ligand and exhibits the rare spin transition to the (d(xz), d(yz))(3)(d(xy))(1)(d(z2))(1) state at higher temperature.     

Polarographic determination of Ce(III) and Tm(III) using rare earth-DBF-chlorophosphonazo complex

The electrochemical behaviour of the DBF—chlorophosphonazo (DBF—CPA)—rare earth (RE) complex has been investigated in this paper. A highly sensitive polarographic adsorption wave was found in the RE(III)—DBF—CPA system and a new method for determination of trace total RE(III) has been established. The limit of detection was 1.8 × 10⁻⁸M. The results of determination of the total RE(III) content in Chinese standard reference materials of cast-iron and alloy steel were in good agreement with the certified values. The polarographic adsorptive waves of Ce(III) and Tm(III)—DBF—CPA overlap seriously. In order to improve the selectivity of determination, a non-linear regression model was employed to fit the peak height of the polarographic wave and the concentrations of Ce(III) and Tm(III). The predictive accuracy of this model for simulant mixtures was satisfied.     

Reaction of superoxo Co(III) complex with quinones formation of a semiquinone Co(III) complex

The superoxo complex [Co(CN)₅O₂]^3- was found to act as a reducing agent towards quinones. One-electron reduction took place with $\text{o}$-quinones whereas two-electrons reduction with $\text{p}$-quinones. 3,5-Di-$\text{t}$-butyl-$\text{o}$-benzoquinone gave the corresponding semiquinone Co(III) complex quantitatively.     

A triboluminescent europium(III) complex

The crystal structure of (4,4′‐di­methyl‐2,2′‐bipyridyl)­tris­[3,3,3‐tri­fluoro‐1‐(2‐thenoyl)propan‐2‐onato]­europium(III), or more commonly (4,4′‐dimethyl‐2,2′‐bipyridyl)tris(2‐thenoyltrifluoro­acetonato)europium(III), [Eu(C₈H₄F₃O₂S)₃(C₁₂H₁₂N₂)], has been determined. Crystals of the complex emit vivid red light when scratched or fractured. This triboluminescent activity seems to correlate with the non‐centrosymmetric crystal structure and disorder of the thienyl rings and CF₃ groups which is present here and in similar compounds. While modeling the thienyl‐ring disorder, it was noted that the bond angle at the C atom replaced by S is a sensitive sign of even small rotational ring disorder. The coordination geometry of the Eu^III ion can be described as square antiprismatic, with coordination by the six O atoms of the three chelating β‐diketonate ligands and the two N atoms of the neutral bipyridyl ligand.     

Synthesis and photophysics of one mononuclear Mn(III) and one dinuclear Mn(III,III) complex covalently linked to a ruthenium(II) tris(bipyridyl) complex

The preparation of donor (D)-photosensitizer (S) arrays, consisting of a manganese complex as D and a ruthenium tris(bipyridyl) complex as S has been pursued. Two new ruthenium complexes containing coordinating sites for one (2a) and two manganese ions (3a) were prepared in order to provide models for the donor side of photosystem II in green plants. The manganese coordinating site consists of bridging and terminal phenolate as well as terminal pyridyl ligands. The corresponding ruthenium-manganese complexes, a manganese monomer 2b and dimer 3b, were obtained. For the dimer 3b, our data suggest that intramolecular electron transfer from manganese to photogenerated ruthenium(III) is fast, k(ET) > 5 x 10(7) s(-)(1).     

Formation constants of chromium(III), scandium(III) and yttrium(III) complexes of some hydroxy naphthoic acids

The complexes of chromium(III), scandium(III) and yttrium(III) formed by 1-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid (1,2-HNA: H2L) and 3-hydroxy-2-naphthoic acid (3,2-HNA: H2L) were investigated by potentiometry and spectroscopy at 25+/-0.1 degrees C and at an ionic strength of 0.1 M KNO3 in 50% ethanol-water (v/v) medium. The stoichiometries of these three M(III) complexes formed with these hydroxy-naphthoic acids and with hydroxo ion were defined and their formation constants were determined and compared. Thus, the removing capacities of these ligands could be examined by calculating the equilibrium concentration of Cr(III) that exists in the discharge water of various industries since Cr(III) ions are the main pollutants present during waste water treatment in our city, Bursa.
