Speciation Analysis of Osmium(VIII) and Osmium(IV) by UV‐VIS Spectrophotometry Using Quercetin as the Reagent

Abstract

The UV‐VIS spectrophotometric methods for the determination of Os(VIII) (as OsO₄) and Os(IV) (as OsCl₆ ^2? complex) in their mixtures were developed. Quercetin (Q), a flavonoid compound, was used as a chromogenic reagent. Both direct and derivative spectrophotometry can be employed for the determination of Os(VIII). The calculation of the first‐derivative spectrum of the examined mixture and the use of the signal at 285.1 nm allows reaching a better detection limit (0.01 µg mL^?1 Os) as compared with direct spectrophotometry (0.1 µg mL^?1 Os). Relative standard deviations of the results are in the range of 0.87%–4.65% and 0.45%–1.15% for direct and derivative mode, respectively. Selective redox reaction of OsO₄ with Q under the conditions used (0.05 M HCl, 1×10^?4 M Q, 15 min heating at 70°C) makes the basis of its determination in mixtures with the OsCl₆ ^2? complex. Quercetin does not react with the OsCl₆ ^2? complex. The signals of the OsCl₆ ^2? complex can be isolated from the examined mixtures by the calculation of the third‐order derivative spectra and the use of the values at 340.0 nm. The effectiveness of the reduction of OsO₄ in chloride solutions has been studied by the developed method.     

Thionitrosylkomplexe des Osmiums. Die Kristallstruktur von AsPh4[OsCl4(NS)2Cl]

Thionitrosyl Complexes of Osmium. Crystal Structure of AsPh₄[OsCl₄(NS)₂Cl] The reaction of osmium pentachloride with trithiazyl chloride (NSCl)₃ yields the thiazylchloride complex [OsCl₄(NSCl)₂], from which the thionitrosyl complex AsPh₄[OsCl₄(NS)₂Cl] is obtained by reaction with AsPh₄Cl in CH₂Cl₂. From this, the neutral thionitrosyl complex [OsCl₄(NS)₂] forms by chloride abstraction with gallium trichloride. The crystal structure of AsPh₄[OsCl₄(NS)₂Cl] was determined and refined with the aid of X-ray diffraction data (R = 0.033, 2161 reflexions). It crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c with four formula units per unit cell. The lattice constants are a = 1735, b = 1058, c = 1578 pm and β 95.64°. In the [OsCl₄(NS)₂Cl]^? ion the osmium is octahedrally coordinated by four Cl atoms and two NS groups in a cis arrangement. The NS groups are essentially linear with the bond lengths Os?N 184 pm and N?S 146 pm. Loosely attached to one of the S atoms there is a Cl atom (S? Cl distance 228 pm); in the crystal it statistically belongs to both S atoms with an occupation probability of one half, and it cannot be decided whether there is a dynamical fluctuation between the S atoms or a static positional disorder. However, according to the i.r. spectrum the dynamical model seems more probable.     

(PPh4)2[OsCl3(NO)(SnCl3)2] Synthese,IR-Spektrum und Kristallstruktur

(PPh₄)₂[OsCl₃(NO) (SnCl₃)₂]; Preparation, I.R. Spectrum, and Crystal Structure (P(C₆H₅)₄)₂[OsCl₃(NO)(SnCl₃)₂] yields from the reaction of OsCl₃(NO) with PPh₄-[SnCl₃] in dichloro methane forming red crystals. The complex crystallizes monoclinic in the space group C2/c with four formula units per unit cell. The crystal structure was determined by aid of X-ray diffraction data (2261 independent, observed reflexions, R = 4.9%). The cell parameters are a = 1369, b = 1989, c = 2088 pm, β = 99.54°. The structure consists of tetraphenyl phosphonium cations and [OsCl₃(NO)(SnCl₃)₂]^2?-anions. In the anion the osmium is coordinated octahedrally by three chlorine atoms (mean bond length r Os? Cl 238 pm), two SnCl₃ groups in transposition to each other (r Os? Sn 265 pm) and the N-atom of the covalently bonded nitrosyl ligand (r Os? N 173 pm). The i.r. spectrum of the anion is reported and assigned.     

Darstellung und spektroskopische Charakterisierung der reinen Bindungsisomeren [OsCl5(NCS)]2− und [OsCl5(SCN)]2−

Preparation and Spectroscopic Characterization of the Pure Bondisomers [OsCl₅(NCS)]^2? and [OsCl₅(SCN)]^2? The oxidation of [OsCl₅I]^2? with (SCN)₂ in CH₂Cl₂ yields the bondisomers [OsCl₅(NCS)]^2? and [OsCl₅(SCN)]^2?, which are isolated as pure compounds by ion exchange chromatography on DEAE-Cellulose. Only the salts of the N-isomer show significant shifts in the vibrational and electronic spectra caused by polarization of the terminal S depending on the size of the cations and the polarity of the solvents. In the IR and Raman spectra ν_CN(S), ν_CS(N) and δ_NCS are found at higher wave numbers than ν_CN(N), ν_CS(S) and δ_SCN. In the optical spectrum of the red [OsCl₅(SCN)]^2? the charge-transfer S→Os is nearly constant at 538 nm, but the N→Os transition of the yellow to violet coloured N-isomer shifts from 480 nm in organic solvents or in presence of large alkylammonium cations to 516 nm in aqueous solution and to 544 nm in the solid Cs-salt. The optical electronegativities are calculated to χ_opt(–SCN) = 2.6 and χ_opt(–NCS) = 2.6–2.8. According to spinorbit coupling and to lowered symmetry (C_4v) the splitted intraconfigurational transitions are observed at 10 K as weak peaks in the regions 600, 1000 and 2000 nm. The O? O transitions are calculated from the vibrational fine structure. The lowest level of both isomers is confirmed by peaks in the electronic raman spectra. With the parameters ζ(Os^IV) = 3200 cm^?1 and B(? SCN) = 316 cm^?1 or B(? NCS) = 288 cm^?1 there is a good fit of calculated and experimental data, resulting in the nephelauxetic series: F^? > CI^? > SCN^? > Br^? > NCS^? > I^?.

Separation and Characterization of Chloro-aquo-hydroxo-oxo-osmates(IV) As a result of the acidic hydrolysis of hexachloroosmate(IV), OsCl₆^2?, and/or the careful reduction of osmium tetroxide with iron(II) sulfate in hydrochloric acid products have been obtained which have been separated by column chromatography using diethylaminoethyl cellulose. On the basis of the analytically determined Os:Cl ratios, the ionic charges that could be deduced from the elution behaviour, and the absorption spectra the products have been characterized as the monomers OsCl₅(H₂O)^?, cis-OsCl₄(OH)(H₂O)^?, fac-OsCl₃(OH)₂(H₂O)^? and mer-OsCl₃(OH)(H₂O)₂, the O-bridged dimers Cl₅Os? O? OsCl₅^4?, cis-(H₂O)Cl₄Os? O? OsCl₄(H₂O)^2?and fac-(H₂O)(OH)Cl₃Os? O? OsCl₃(OH)(H₂O)^2? and the hydrogen bridges forming OH-bridged dimers shown in “Inhaltsübersicht”.     

Structure of ammonium decachloro-μ-oxodiosmate(IV) (NH4)4[Os2OCl10] and its behavior in solutions

The structure of (NH₄)₄[OS₂OCl₁₀] has been determined by X-ray diffraction. The crystals are tetragonal, space group I4/mmm, a = 7.292(1) Å, c = 17.157(3) Å, Z = 2. The binuclear anion has D _4h symmetry; the osmium atom is coordinated to five chlorine atoms and the oxygen atom. The Os-O distances are 1.8242(5) Å; Os-Cl_eqv, 2.3743(18) Å; Os-Cl_ax, 2.335(3) Å; the Cl₁OsCl₂ angle is 86.84(4)°. The anion has been established spectrophotometrically to remain structurally unchanged in freshly prepared aqueous and hydrochloric acid solutions. Slow aquation with retention of a binuclear structure occurs with time in 1 and 6 M HCl. At 75 or 90°C, the process is faster with the disrupture of the Os-O-Os bond and the formation [OsCl₆]^2? ions in 6 M HCl and a mixture of [OsCl₆]^2? and [Os(H₂O)Cl₅]^? ions in 1 M HCl.     

Darstellung,Kristallstruktur und Normalkoordinatenanalyse der bindungsisomeren Pentachlororhodanoosmate(IV)

Preparation, Crystal Structure and Normal Coordinate Analysis of Linkage Isomeric Pentachlororhodanoosmates(IV) By treatment of [OsCl₅I]^2? with (SCN)₂ in dichloromethane the linkage isomers [OsCl₅(NCS)]^2? and [OsCl₅(SCN)]^2? are formed which have been separated by ion exchange chromatography on diethylaminoethyl cellulose. The X-ray structure determination on single crystals of (Ph₄As)₂[OsCl₅(NCS)] (monoclinic, space group P2₁/a, a = 18.872(2), b = 11.6024(2), c = 22.786(1), β = 109.057(1)°, Z = 4) and (Ph₄As)₂[OsCl₅(SCN)] (monoclinic, space group P2₁/a, a = 19.057(2), b = 11.306(2), c = 22.612(1), β = 106.64(2)°, Z = 4) reveals the complete ordering of the complex anions. The thiocyanate group is located above one of the Cl ligands of the equatorial plane with the Os? N? C angle of 166.1° for N bonding and the Os? S? C angle of 109.9° for S bonding. The IR and Raman spectra of both linkage isomers known from literature are assigned by normal coordinate analysis based on the general valence force field using the molecular parameters of the X-ray determination. The valence force constants are f_d(OsN) = 1,81 and f_d(OsS) = 1,32 mdyn/Å. Taking into account increments of the trans influence a good adjustment between observed and calculated frequencies is achieved.

The Mixed Crystal System K₂OsCl₆? K₂SnCl₆ Homogeneous mixed crystals between K₂OsCl₆ and K₂SnCl₆ have been prepared in any composition ratio by precipitation from concentrated K₂OsCl₆/K₂SnCl₆ solutions with concentrated hydrochloric acid. The lattice constants follow Vegard's rule.     

Microporous La–Metal–Organic Framework (MOF) with Large Surface Area

A microporous La–metal‐organic framework (MOF) has been synthesized by the reaction of La(NO₃)₃ ? 6 H₂O with a ligand 4,4′,4′′‐s‐triazine‐1,3,5‐triyltri‐p‐aminobenzoate (TATAB) featuring three carboxylate groups. Crystal structure analysis confirms the formation of 3D MOF with hexagonal micropores, a Brunauer–Emmett—Teller (BET) surface area of 1074 m² g^?1 and high thermal and chemical stability. The CO₂ adsorption capacities are 76.8 cm³ g^?1 at 273 K and 34.6 cm³ g^?1 at 293 K, a highest measured CO₂ uptake for a Ln–MOFs.     

Schwingungs- und Elektronenspektren der Dekahalogenodiosmate(IV), [Os2X10]2−, X  Cl,Br

Vibrational and Electronic Spectra of Decahalogenodiosmates(IV), [Os₂X₁₀]^2?, X ? Cl, Br The IR and Raman spectra of the edge-sharing bioctahedral anions [Os₂X₁₀]^2?, X ? Cl, Br, are assigned according to point group D_2h. The bands are found in three characteristic regions; at high wavenumbers stretching vibrations with terminal ligands v(OsCl_t): 365–280, v(OsBr_t): 235–195; in a middle region with bridging ligands v(OsCl_b): 270–240, v(OsBr_b): 175–165 cm^?1; the deformation bands are observed at distinct lower frequencies. The electronic spectra of the dimers show intraconfigurational transitions near 2000, 1000, and 600 nm which by position and intensity correspond to those of the monomeric complexes. They are therefore discussed separately for both metal centers according to C_2v symmetry. Two additional band systems are presumable pair transitions arising from interactions of the central ions within the dimeric complexes. Due to the different bonding strength of terminal or bridging ligands the intensive charge transfer bands are shifted by 3000–4000 cm^?1 bathochromicly or by 2000–3000 cm^?1 hypsochromicly compared with the hexahaloosmates(IV).     

Photochemischer Ligandenaustausch an Hexahalogenoosmaten(IV)

Photochemical Ligand Exchange of Hexahalo Osmates(IV) Irradiation of hexahaloosmates(IV) in various polar solvents (H₂O, CH₃CN, C₅H₅N) gives preferable monosubstituted products. First time [OsCl₅(NC? CH₃)]^?, [OsBr₅(NC? CH₃)]^? and [OsCl₅py]^? are prepared photochemically in larger amounts. The quantum yields in the region 313–436 nm are 10^?2–10^?3. The photochemical stability of the mono-substituted products is discussed. By photolysis of [OsBr₆]^2? in CH₂Cl₂ and 1,2-C₂H₄Cl₂ the mixed-ligand complexes [OsCl_nBr_6–n]^2? are formed. After ionophoretic separation for the species with n = 2, 3, 4 a statistical ratio of the stereoisomers is observed. Slow photosubstitution takes place too in alkali halide pellets of the complex salts at room temperature.

Preparation and Spectroscopic Characterization of Bondisomeric Halogenoselenocyanatoosmates (IV) The new compounds [OsCl₅(NCSe)]^2?, [OsCl₅(SeCN)]^2?, tr.-[OsCl₄(NCSe)(SeCN)]^2?, tr.-[OsCl₄I(NCSe)]^2? and tr.-[OsCl₄I(SeCN)]^2? are prepared from [OsCl₅I]^2? and tr.-[OsCl₄I₂]^2? by oxidative ligand exchange with (SeCN)₂ or by reaction with suspended Pb(SeCN)₂ in CH₂Cl₂ and isolated by ion exchange chromatography on DEAE cellulose. The bondisomers are significantly distinguished by the frequencies of innerligand vibrations: ν_CN(Se), ν_CN(N), ν_CSe(N) > ν_CSe(Se), δ_NCSe >, δ_SeCN. The electronic spectra measured at 10 K on the solid salts exhibit in the region 450–650 nm intensive Se → Os and N → Os charge transfer bands. Essentially weaker intraconfigurational transitions (t) are observed near to 2000 and 1000 nm, splitted by lowered symmetry (C_4v) and spin orbit coupling. Only some of the 0–0-transitions may be assigned by measuring electronic Raman bands with the same frequencies.

Preparation and Characterization of Mixed‐Valent Osmium Hexacyanoferrate/Silicomolybdate Hybrid Films and Their Electrocatalytic Properties

A polynuclear mixed‐valent osmium hexacyanoferrate/silicomolybdate film electrode has been prepared using repetitive cyclic voltammetry.

The polynuclear mixed‐valent osmium hexacyanoferrate/silicomolybdate film exhibited four redox couples. The electrocatalytic properties of the osmium hexacyanoferrate/silicomolybdate film electrode have been studied. The modified electrode has shown good electrocatalytic properties towards the oxidation of dopamine, ascorbic acid, epinephrine, norepinephrine, and reduction of IO₃^?, Fe³⁺.     

Darstellung und Charakterisierung von Tetrakis(Chloro-Bromo)-Oxalato-Osmaten(IV)

The separation of geometric isomers is difficult but possible by ion exchange chromatography on diethylaminoethyl cellulose. The 10 K absorption spectra show in the UV/VIS region intensive Br←Os and Cl←Os charge transfer bands and in the NIR weak intraconfigurational transitions splitted by spin-orbit coupling and lowered symmetry into 5 components. A very weak spin-forbidden d—d-transition at about 600 nm is improved as a luminescence absorption band in the Raman spectrum.

All complexes are isolated as pure compounds by ion exchange chromatography on DEAE-cellulose. In the IR and Raman spectra ν_CN(S), ν_CS(N) and δ_NCS are found at higher wave numbers than ν_CN(N), ν_CS(S) and δ_SCN. According to spin orbit coupling and to lowered symmetry (D_4h, C_4v) the splitted intraconfigurational transitions are observed at 10 K as weak bands in the regions 600, 1000, 2000 nm. The O? O transitions are calculated from vibrational fine structure and in some cases are confirmed by electronic Raman bands with the same frequencies. The energy niveaus deduced with ζ(Os^IV) = 3200 cm^?1 and the calculated Racah parameters B are in good agreement with the barycenters of the observed multiplets for D_4h and C_4v symmetry.     

Osmium dimethyl sulfoxide complexes: Synthesis and properties of [H(dmso)2][OsIII(dmso)2Br4]

The reaction of H₂[OsBr₆] with DMSO in ethanol solution resulted in DMSO complex [H(dmso-O)₂][Os^III(dmso-S)₂Br₄] (1) described previously as an intermediate product in the reaction of K₂[OsBr₆] with DMSO and characterized by EAS and ESR spectra. The coordination of DMSO molecules was established by IR and ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy. The oxidation state of osmium and trans arrangement of DMSO molecules in the anion were established by ESR. The behavior of complex 1 in solutions was studied by EAS, ESR, and mass-spectrometry: a displacement of Br^? ions accompanied by the reduction of osmium to oxidation state +2 occurs in DMSO, a solvation with displacement of DMSO molecules is observed at the first stage in water and methanol (rate constants 2.3 × 10^?4 and 1.7 × 10^?3 s^?1, respectively), the sequential substitution of DMSO molecules and osmium oxidation to form [Os^IVBr₆]_2? ions takes place in 4 mol/L HBr.     

Triphenylphosphonium and trimethyl-phosphonium hexachloroosmates (IV) and their reactions with alkylating agents; Methyl and trimethylsilylmethyl osmium compounds; trans-di-chlorotetrakis(trimethylphosphine)-osmium(II); Tetrakis(trimethyl-silylmethyl)oxoosmium(VI)

The reported synthesis of tetrachlorobis(triphenylphosphine) osmium(IV) is shown to proceed via initial formation of a salt, [Ph₃PH]₂[OsCl₆], front which the corresponding [Me₃PH]⁺ salt can be obtained by exchange; the latter salt reacts with acetone to give [Me₃PC(OH)Me₂]₂[OsCl₆]. The action of methyl and trimethylsilylmethyl alkylating agents on the hexachloroosmates and on OsCl₃(PPh₃)₃ to give σ-alkyls is reported. The complex trans-OsMe₂(PPh₃)₄ reacts with carbon monoxide to give the corresponding bis acetyl. The complex trans-OsCl₂(PMe₃)₄ is resistant to attack by alkylating agents. The interaction of bis(trimethylsilylmethyl)magnesium with OsO₄ in pentane at ?70°C yields (Me₃SiCH₂)₄OsO.     

Spectrophotometric determination of osmium with phthalimide dithiosemicarbazone by means of complex formation and catalytic reactions

Phthalimide dithiosemicarbazone forms a 1:1 complex with osmium at pH 3.3–4.5 (?₄₅₀ = 1.3 · 10⁴ l mol^?1 cm^?1 ) which is applied to the photometric determination of osmium; Beer's law is obeyed for the range 1–12 μg Os ml^?1. The oxidation of the reagent with cerium(IV) is catalyzed by osmium(VIII), and this reaction allows a more sensitive procedure for the determination of osmium; the calibration curve is linear over the range 0.05–0.4 μg Os ml^?1. The interferences in both procedures are described.

Based on the molecular parameters of the X‐ray determination ( 1 ) and estimated data ( 2 ) the IR and Raman spectra of both linkage isomers are assigned by normal coordinate analysis. The valence force constants are f_d(OsN) = 1.70 und f_d(OsSe) = 1.15 mdyn/Å.
