Trivalent manganese as an oxidimetric reagent

A study of the use of trivalent manganese as an oxidimetric reagent has been made. The manganic ion was stabilised with pyrophosphate. The stability of this reagent over a period of six weeks was established. The reagent may be used in conjunction with barium diphenylamine sulphonate for the titration of ferrous iron even in the presence of 5N hydrochloric acid. It may also be used for the titration of vanadium, nitrite, oxalate, peroxide and arsenite, but the procedures for oxalate and peroxide are unsatisfactory. The redox potential of the reagent was 1.22 volt at 25° C, which was lower than that found for manganic sulphate (ca. 1.4 volt).

Adsorption of Trivalent Cations on Silica

The temperature effect on the magnitude of adsorption was used to explain the mechanism of adsorption of gadolinium on silica at very low concentrations. Standard enthalpy of adsorption of gadolinium equals 36 kJ mol-1 for a total Gd concentration of 2 x 10(-8) mol dm-3 and 67 kJ mol-1 for 2 x 10(-5) mol dm-3. This result confirms the hypothesis that the Gd adsorption at low initial concentration is governed by formation of strong ternary surface complexes involving anionic impurities.

Trivalent molybdenum as volumetric reducing agent

Summary The purpose of the present investigation is to introduce trivalent molybdenum as a new analytical reducing agent, in hydrochloric as well as sulphuric acid media.The solution is prepared in 9N acid by electrolytic or mercuryreduction of the hexavalent form. It is preferentially stocked and used in high acid concentrations, whereby its stability in air is optimal, falling to half its titer after nearly two months. It has been tested with success as reductant for ceric, dichromate, ferric and vanadate. It has the advantage of being used in ordinary opened burettes. Titrations were followed potentiometrically in general, and alternately visually in decinormal media, whereby molybdenum blue appears at the end-point. The percentage error in fifteen discussed experiments never surpassed ±1%. Some oxidation titrations were also undertaken using iodate and bromate, with the same degree of accuracy, provided they were conducted in 6N acid. In weaker acid concentrations, equilibria were more slowly attained, with a more or less pronounced deviation, due to some oxidisability that necessitates controlled inert atmosphere.

Separation of Trivalent Actinides from High-Active Waste

A typical high-active waste (HAW) arising from reprocessing of (U0.3Pu0.7)C fuel irradiated to the burn-up of 155 GWd/Te in a fast breeder test reactor (FBTR) was characterized. Partitioning of trivalent actinides from HAW was demonstrated using a solvent, 0.2 M n-octyl(phenyl)-N,N-diisobutylcarbamoylmethylphosphine oxide (CMPO) – 1.2 M tri-n-butylphosphate (TBP) in n-dodecane (n-DD), in a mixer settler. The results established quantitative separation of trivalents (Am(III) + Ln(III)) from HAW and recovery (> 99%) using a citric acid-nitric acid formulation. The mutual separation of lanthanides and actinides from the stripped product was studied by using bis(2-ethylhexyl)diglycolamic acid (HDEHDGA), synthesized in our laboratory.

Trivalent antigens for degranulation of mast cells

Degranulation of basophils and mast cells plays a central role in allergic reactions. Degranulation is a response to cell surface receptor aggregation caused by association of receptors with antibodies bound to multivalent antigens. Tools used in studying this process have included small-molecule divalent antigens, but they suffer from weak signaling apparently due to small aggregate size. We have prepared trivalent antigens that allow formation of larger aggregates and potent responses from mast cells.     

Electron Capture Dissociation of Trivalent Metal Ion-Peptide Complexes

With electrospray ionization from aqueous solutions, trivalent metal ions readily adduct to small peptides resulting in formation of predominantly (peptide + M_T ? H)²⁺, where M_T = La, Tm, Lu, Sm, Ho, Yb, Pm, Tb, or Eu, for peptides with molecular weights below ~1000 Da, and predominantly (peptide + M_T)³⁺ for larger peptides. ECD of (peptide + M_T ? H)²⁺ results in extensive fragmentation from which nearly complete sequence information can be obtained, even for peptides for which only singly protonated ions are formed in the absence of the metal ions. ECD of these doubly charged complexes containing M_T results in significantly higher electron capture efficiency and sequence coverage than peptide-divalent metal ion complexes that have the same net charge. Formation of salt-bridge structures in which the metal ion coordinates to a carboxylate group are favored even for (peptide + M_T)³⁺. ECD of these latter complexes for large peptides results in electron capture by the protonation site located remotely from the metal ion and predominantly c/z fragments for all metals, except Eu³⁺, which undergoes a one electron reduction and only loss of small neutral molecules and b/y fragments are formed. These results indicate that solvation of the metal ion in these complexes is extensive, which results in the electrochemical properties of these metal ions being similar in both the peptide environment and in bulk water.

Reactions of Sulfenamides with Compounds of Trivalent Phosphorus

Chloro-dimethylamino-phenyl-p-tolylthio-phosphonium chloride 2 , dimethylamino-diphenyl-p-tolylthio-phosphonium chloride 3 , bis(diethylamino)-dimethylamino-p-tolylthiophosphonium chloride 4 and tert-butyl-dimethylamino-phenyl-p-tolylthio-phosphonium chloride 5 were prepared by the reaction of N,N-dimethylamino-p-tolylsulfenamide 1 with PhPCl₂, Ph₂PCl, (Et₂N)₂PCl and ^tBu(Ph)PCl, respectively. The reaction of N,N′-dimethyl-N,N′-bis(trimethylsilyl)urea 9 and N-methyl-N′-phenyl-N,N′-bis(trimethylsilyl)urea 10 with phenylsulfenyl chloride 6 or p-nitrophenylsulfenyl chloride 8 furnished the N-arylthio-N,N′-diorgano-N′-(trimethylsilyl)-ureas 11 – 14 . The reaction of 11 – 14 and of the previously known compounds 15 and 16 with MePCl₂, ClCH₂PCl₂, ^tBuPCl₂ and PhPCl₂ resulted in the formation of the 2-arylthio-2-chloro-1,2,3-triorgano-1,3,2λ⁵-diazaphosphetidin-4-ones 17 – 26 . 1,3-Dimethyl-2-(1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2-propoxy)-2-phenyl-2-phenylthio-1,3,2λ⁵-diazaphosphetidin-4-one 29 and the 2-arylthio-1,3-dimethyl-2-(p-nitrophenoxy)-2-organyl-1,3,2λ⁵-diazaphosphetidin-4-ones 30 – 32 were obtained in the reactions of compounds 17, 24 and 27 with 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2-propanol or p-nitrophenol in the presence of triethylamine. The reaction of compound 21 with thiophenol in the presence of triethylamine resulted in a mixture of products, from which 1,3,4,5,7-pentamethyl-1,3,5,7-tetraaza-4λ⁵-phosphaspiro[3.3]heptan-2,6-dione 33 was isolated. The identity and structure of all the new compounds were established by ¹H-, ¹³C- and ³¹P-NMR spectroscopy and by elemental analysis. A possible mechanism of reaction of sulfenamides with compounds of trivalent phosphorus is discussed. For the compounds 5a, 32 and 33 X-ray structure analyses were conducted. The cation of compound 5a involves four-coordinate phosphorus (essentially tetrahedral geometry) and is a rare example of a P–S single bond in such a system (P–S 207.37(9) pm). In 32 the geometry at phosphorus is distorted trigonal bipyramidal, with axial positions occupied by oxygen and nitrogen atoms. In the spirophosphorane 33 the geometry at phosphorus is intermediate between trigonal bipyramidal and square pyramidal, with essentially planar four-membered rings.

Abstract

Dialkylaminomethylation of trimethylsilyl esters of trivalent phosphorus acids using bis(dialkylamino)methanes was carried out for the first time. This reaction is a convenient method for preparation of quaternary coordinated phosphorus compounds, including dialkylaminomethyl and functional groups. Thus trimethylsilylphosphites and -phosphonites of various structures react with bis(dialklamino)-methanes according to Arbuzov reaction in the presence of zinc chloride as a catalyst, when heated to 120°C, resulting in formation of phosphonates and phosphinates (I)

Supercharging with Trivalent Metal Ions in Native Mass Spectrometry

Addition of 1.0?mM LaCl₃ to aqueous ammonium acetate solutions containing proteins in their folded native forms can result in a significant increase in the molecular ion charging obtained with electrospray ionization as a result of cation adduction. In combination with m-nitrobenzyl alcohol, molecular ion charge states that are greater than the number of basic sites in the protein can be produced from these native solutions, even for lysozyme, which is conformationally constrained by four intramolecular disulfide bonds. Circular dichroism spectroscopy indicates that the conformation of ubiquitin is not measurably affected with up to 1.0?M LaCl₃, but ion mobility data indicate that the high charge states that are formed when 1.0?mM LaCl₃ is present are more unfolded than the low charge states formed without this reagent. These and other results indicate that the increased charging is a result of La³⁺ preferentially adducting onto compact or more native-like conformers during ESI and the gas-phase ions subsequently unfolding as a result of increased Coulomb repulsion. Electron capture dissociation of these high charge-state ions formed from these native solutions results in comparable sequence coverage to that obtained for ions formed from denaturing solutions without supercharging reagents, making this method a potentially powerful tool for obtaining structural information in native mass spectrometry.
