Use of marker ion and cationic surfactant plastic membrane electrode for potentiometric titration of cationic polyelectrolytes

A plasticized poly (vinyl chloride) (PVC) membrane electrode sensitive to stearyltrimethylammonium (STA) ion is applied to the determination of cationic polyelectrolytes such as poly (diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (Cat-floc) by potentiometric titration, using a potassium poly (vinyl sulfate) (PVSK) solution as a titrant. The end-point of the titration is detected as the potential change of the plasticized PVC membrane electrode caused by decrease in the concentration of STA ion added to the sample solution as a marker ion due to the ion association reaction between the STA ion and PVSK. The effects of the concentration of STA ion, coexisting electrolytes in the sample solution and pH of the sample on the degree of the potential change at the end-point were examined. A linear relationship between the concentration of cationic polyelectrolyte and the end-point volume of the titrant exists in the concentration range from 2×10⁻⁵ to 4×10⁻⁴ N for Cat-floc, glycol chitosan, and methylglycol chitosan.     

Polyelectrolyte titration using fluorescent indicator. I. Direct titration of anionic and cationic polyelectrolytes with 10−4N standard solutions

The polyelectrolyte titration, which was originally called colloid titration, is based on the stoichiometric reaction between positively charged colloidal particles and negatively charged ones. In the conventional method, the metachromatic color change of the indicator, toluidine blue, from blue to red-purple has been applied for the determination of the end point in the titration. 2.5 × 10^?3N potassium polyvinylsulfonate (KPVS) is usually used as the standard titrant. In this work, fluorescent indicators such as 6-(p-toluidino)-2-naphthalene sulfonate (TNS), acridine orange, etc., have been introduced. The fluorescence intensity was measured using the spectrophotometer equipped with magnetic stirrer and connected with a vinyl tube attached to the hand piston burette. For example, TNS is practically nonfluorescent, but it exhibits strong fluorescence when it is bound to a cationic polyelectrolyte (CP). The fluorescence of the TNS–CP complex is diminished by titration with KPVS standard solution since TNS is liberated from the complex by substitution with KPVS. After the equivalent point, the fluorescence intensity becomes constant and the end point can thus be detected by that point. It has been elucidated that the very dilute standard solution like 1 × 10^?4N can be used because the sensitivity of fluorescence detection is extremely high. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Interactions of monomeric and dimeric cationic surfactants with anionic polyelectrolytes: a fluorescence study

The interactions of conventional cationic, i.e. dodecyl-(DTAB), tetradecyl-(TTAB), and hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromides (HTAB), and dimeric cationic surfactants, i.e. dimethylene bis decyl-(10-2-10), and dodecyldimethylammonium bromides (12-2-12) with anionic polyelectrolytes, were studied by fluorescence measurements. The variation of I₁/I₃ ratio of the fluorescence of pyrene in aqueous solutions of polyelectrolytes was measured as a function of surfactant concentration. A three-step aggregation process involving the critical aggregation concentration (cac) and critical micelle concentration (cmc) was observed in each case. The cationic surfactants with lower hydrophobicity demonstrated higher degree of binding and vice versa.

Determination of crystal violet in seawater and seafood samples through off‐line molecularly imprinted SPE followed by HPLC with diode‐array detection

A highly selective sample cleanup procedure combined with molecularly imprinted SPE was developed for the isolation of crystal violet from seawater and seafood samples. The molecularly imprinted polymer was prepared using crystal violet as the template molecule, methacrylic acid as the functional monomer, and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate as the cross‐linker. The crystal violet‐imprinted polymer was used as the selective sorbent for the SPE of crystal violet. An off‐line molecularly imprinted SPE method followed by HPLC with diode‐array detection for the analysis of crystal violet was also established. Good linearity on the molecularly imprinted SPE columns was obtained from 0 to 200 μg/L (R² > 0.99). The result demonstrated that the proposed method can be used for the direct determination of crystal violet in seawater and seafood samples. Finally, five samples were analyzed and the following crystal violet concentrations were obtained: 0.92 and 0.52 μg/L in two seawater samples, as well as 0.36 and 0.27 μg/kg in two seafood samples. There is no crystal violet detected in the third seawater sample.

Graft copolymer composed of cationic backbone and bottle brush-like side chains as a physically adsorbed coating for protein separation by capillary electrophoresis

To stabilize electroosmotic flow (EOF) and suppress protein adsorption onto the silica capillary inner wall, a cationic hydroxyethylcellulose-graft-poly (poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate) (cat-HEC-g-PPEGMA) graft copolymer composed of cationic backbone and bottle brush-like side chains was synthesized for the first time and used as a novel physically adsorbed coating for protein separation by capillary electrophoresis. Reversed (anodal) and very stable EOF was obtained in cat-HEC-g-PPEGMA-coated capillary at pH 2.2-7.8. The effects of degree of cationization, PEGMA grafting ratio, PEGMA molecular mass, and buffer pH on the separation of basic proteins were investigated. A systematic comparative study of protein separation in bare and HEC-coated capillaries and in cat-HEC-g-PPEGMA-coated capillary was also performed. The basic proteins can be well separated in cat-HEC-g-PPEGMA-coated capillary over the pH range of 2.8-6.8 with good repeatability and high separation efficiency, because the coating combines good protein-resistant property of bottle brush-like PPEGMA side chains with excellent coating ability of cat-HEC backbone. Besides its success in separation of basic proteins, the cat-HEC-g-PPEGMA coating was also superior in the fast separation of other protein samples, such as protein mixture, egg white, and saliva, which indicates that it is a promising coating for further proteomics analysis.     

Synthesis and crystal structure of a novel Zn(II) 2-D coordination polymer containing 1,3-bis(4-pyridyl)propane ligand and Croconate Violet dianion

From the reaction between Zn(NO₃)₂ · 6H₂O and tetrabutylammonium croconate violet ((NBu₄)₂CV) in the presence of the flexible ligand 1,3-bis(4-pyridyl)propane (BPP) a novel neutral 2-D coordination polymer {[Zn(μ-BPP)(BPP)(CV)(H₂O)] · H₂O}_n (1) was obtained. Compound 1 was characterized by means of elemental analysis, thermogravimetric analysis and vibrational spectroscopy. The crystal structure of 1 reveals that each Zn(II) is coordinated by three nitrogen atoms from two different BPP ligands, two oxygen atoms from one Croconate Violet dianion and one aqua ligand, within a distorted octahedral geometry in a facial arrangement (ZnN₃O₃). One of the BPP ligands adopts a TG (trans–gauche) conformation bridging two zinc centers giving rise to a 1-D polymeric chain along the crystallographic a axis, and the other is coordinated to metal site in a monodentate fashion adopting a TT (trans–trans) conformation. Adjacent 1-D chains are extended into a 2-D coordination network of (4, 4) topology through cooperative hydrogen bonding involving N31, OW2 and OW1 atoms, in direction of the c axis. Two complementary 2-D sheets fit each other exhibiting an interdigitation phenomenon, giving rise to a bilayer supramolecular structure.     

Synthesis,crystal structure,spectroscopy and magnetism of a trinuclear nickel(II) complex with 3,5-pyrazoledicarboxylic acid as bridge ligands

A new complex of [Ni₃(dcp)₂(H₂O)₁₀] (1) (H₃dcp = 3,5-pyrazoledicarboxylic acid) has been synthesized from H₃dcp and Ni(NO₃)₂·6H₂O by hydrothermal reaction. Complex 1 has the discrete trinuclear structure. Three Ni(II) ions are bridged by two dcp³⁻ ligands, with 10 coordinated water molecules as terminal ligands. The molecules of [Ni₃(dcp)₂(H₂O)₁₀] extend into three-dimensional supramolecular architectures by intermolecular O–H···O hydrogen bonds as well as π-π stacking interactions. Magnetic susceptibility measurement shows that a weak antiferromagnetic interaction is operative between nickel(II) ions and an excellent simulation of the experimental data gives D = 5.27 cm⁻¹, J = −2.19 cm⁻¹ and g = 2.05.     

Synthesis,crystal structure and fluorescence of a two-dimensional Cd(II) coordination polymer with thiocyanato and 4-methylpyridine N -oxide as bridging ligands

A two-dimensional coordination complex [Cd(μ_1,3-SCN)₂(μ₂-mpdo)] _n (mpdo?=?4-methylpyridine N-oxide) has been synthesized and structurally determined by X-ray crystallography. The complex crystallizes in the triclinic space group of Pī with a?=?8.2589(14)?Å, b?=?8.5409(14)?Å, c?=?9.7947(16)?Å, α?=?70.022(2)°, β?=?74.338(2)°, γ?=?71.530(2)°. Each Cd(II) is coordinated by four μ_1,3-SCN^? forming a zigzag chain and then two μ₂-mpdo monodentate ligands coordinate to two adjacent Cd(II) ions leading to a two-dimensional sheet structure along the ab plane, and in the c direction the sheets stack parallel through π–π interactions and giving a three-dimensional structure. The complex exhibits a strong fluorescent emission spectrum in the solid state.     

The study of preconcentration and separation of vanadium(V) using microcrystalline triphenylmethane loaded with crystal violet and the determination of vanadium(V) in water samples by spectrophotometry

The paper describes a novel method for vanadium(V) preconcentration using microcrystalline triphenylmethane loaded with crystal violet (CV) prior to the determination by spectrophotometry. The effects of different parameters, such as the amounts of crystal violet and triphenylmethane, acidity, stirring time, various salts and metal ions etc on the enrichment yield of V(V) have been investigated to select the experimental conditions. V(V) can be completely separated from Cd(II), Pb(II), Mn(II), Co(II), Cu(II), Fe(III), Ni(II), Al(III), Zn(II) and Hg(II) by controlling acidity. Under the optimum conditions, V(V) can be totally adsorbed on the surface of microcrystalline triphenylmethane. The possible reaction mechanism of the enrichment of V(V) is discussed in detail in this paper. The detection limit of this proposed method is 0.023 μg L⁻¹ with the preconcentration factor of 200. The recovery is in a range of 96.0–104%. The proposed method has been successfully applied to the determination of trace vanadium in various water samples with satisfactory results.     

Determination of the glass transition temperature of polystyrene,poly(vinyl chloride) and poly(methyl methacrylate) using gas chromatography

The glass transition temperatures, Tg, of polystyrene, poly (vinyl chloride) and poly(methyI methacrylate) have been determined from gas chromatographic measurements using n-hexane, n-heptane, meta-xylene and para-xylene solvents. The glass transition temperatures were detected on the z-shaped retention diagrams which were produced from the plot of the logarithm of the specific retention volumes of the above-mentioned solvents against the reciprocal of temperature, i.e. log V${}_{\text{g}}^{\text{º}}$ vs. 1/T. The glass transition temperature is specified by the temperature where the slope of log V${}_{\text{g}}^{\text{º}}$ vs. 1/T changes abruptly. The observed glass transition temperature of polystyrene produced by this technique was found to be in good agreement with those produced by other techniques such as the differential scanning colorimeter. The industrial importance of the glass transition temperature, T_g, might be due to the dramatic changes in the physical properties of the polymer, such as hardness and elasticity, which take place in the vicinity of this temperature. However, perfectly crystalline polymers do not exhibit glass transitions, because their chains are incorporated in regions of three-dimensional order, called crystallites. Completely amorphous polymers and semi-crystalline polymers usually exhibit both glass transition and melting.     

Halide abstraction as a route to cationic molybdenum(IV) compounds: Crystal and molecular structure of [CpMoCI(MeCN)4][SbCl6]2 · MeCN

Treatment of CpMoC1₃(MeCN)₂ with SbCl₅ in acetonitrile solution provides the solvated cationic series [CpMoCl₂(MeCN)₃]⁺, [CpMoCl(MeCN)₄]²⁺ and [CpMo(MeCN)₆]³⁺ as hexachloroantimon(V)ate salts following sequential halide abstraction. Characterization follows from microanalytical and spectroscopic (IR, and ¹H NMR) data and, in the case of [CpMoCl(MeCN)₄][SbCl₆]₂ · MeCN, by X-ray crystallographic studies. The structure is disordered but individual cations contain a six coordinated pseudo-octahedral metal geometry in which the cyclopentadienyl ligand (regarded as unidentate) and the chlorine atom occupy axial positions with an equatorial array of four acetonitrile ligands.     

Synthesis,crystal structure and magnetism of 1D cobalt(II) coordination polymer with thiocyanate as bridging ligand

A one-dimensional coordination polymer [Co(μ _1,3-NCS)₂(npdo)₂] _n (npdo?=?4-nitropyridine N-oxide) has been synthesized and structurally determined by X-ray crystallography. The complex crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group of Pbcn with a?=?22.688(5)?Å, b?=?7.2636(17)?Å, c?=?10.299(2)?Å. Adjacent Co(II) ions are coordinated by two μ _1,3-SCN^? bridging ligands, forming a one-dimensional chain along the c axis and the npdo coordinates to Co(II) ion as a terminal ligand. The thermal variation of the magnetic moments of the complex reflects the antiferromagnetic interaction between the bridged Co(II) ions above 20?K and the ferromagnetic transition or the strong short-range spin interaction below 20?K.     

Potentiometric titration behavior of poly(acrylic acid) within a cross-linked polymer network having amide groups

This study aimed to investigate the effect of COOH group distribution within a polymer network having amide groups, with which the COOH could form hydrogen bonds. We employed here two polyelectrolyte gels composed of N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPA) networks, either copolymerized with acrylic acid (AA) or within which poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) was entrapped. Both gels (AA–NIPA ∼ 1:4 mol/mol) were prepared by aqueous red-ox polymerization with N,N’-methylenebisacrylamide as the cross-linker. Finely divided gels in NaCl solutions (0.025 and 0.1 M) were titrated with NaOH and back-titrated with HCl at 25 °C. The results of the copolymer gel (CG) agreed well with those of a linear copolymer and a nanoscale gel which had a similar AA content to CG. However, marked differences were observed in the titration behaviors of the AA-copolymerized and PAA-entrapped gels, mainly due to the hydrogen bonding between the entrapped PAA chain and its surrounding NIPA network.     

Synthesis,crystal structure and magnetic property of a one-dimensional copper(II) complex with 2,5-dimethylpyrazine-1,4-dioxide as bridging ligand

A one-dimensional polynuclear copper(II) complex [Cu(μ_1,6-dmpzdo)(SCN)₂] _n (where dmpzdo?=?2,5-dimethylpyrazine-1,4-dioxide) has been synthesized and its crystal structure determined by X-ray crystallography. The coordination geometry of Cu(II) atom is a square plane and each Cu(II) ion is connected by two μ_1,6-dmpzdo bridging ligands, leading to the formation of a one-dimensional chain. ESR spectra indicate magnetic coupling between the bridged Cu(II) ions. The fitting of the variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility data (4–300?K) gave 2J?=??68.69?cm^?1.     

Synthesis,crystal structure and anti-ferromagnetic behavior of a two-dimensional manganese(II) complex with 3,6-dinitro-1,2,4,5,-benzenetetracarboxylate anion as bridging ligand

A two-dimensional complex {[Mn₂(DBT)(DMF)₄]·2H₂O}_n (DBT?=?3,6-dinitro-1,2,4,5- benzenetetracarboxylate anion; DMF?=?N,N-dimethylformamide) has been synthesized and its crystal structure determined by X-ray crystallography. The complex crystallizes in a triclinic system and the space group is P 1 with a?=?9.012(5), b?=?9.196(6), c?=?9.910(6)?Å. In the complex there exist two kinds of coordination environments for Mn(II) ions; each DBT coordinates four Mn(II) ions by its four carboxylate groups and in this way a two-dimensional sheet was constructed. The variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility of the complex was measured in the 5–300?K range and the magnetic data indicate that the magnetic interaction between the bridged manganese(II) ions displays an anti-ferromagnetic coupling.     

Poly(ammonium/ pyridinium)-chitosan Schiff base as a smart biosorbent for scavenging of Cu2+ ions from aqueous effluents

Chitosan Schiff bases (CSBs) decorated with ammonium or pyridinium motifs for recyclable biosorption of Cu²⁺ ions from aqueous effluents were tailored by grafting of salicylaldehyde ionic liquids (Sal-ILs) onto chitosan surface. Biosorption capacity of poly(ionic-salicylidene) CSBs (PISCSB_1,2) was compared with chitosan and poly(neural-salicylidene) CSBs (PSCSB). The ionic salicylidene-functionalized chitosan, poly(pyridinium)-salicylidene chitosan Schiff base (PISCSB₂), exhibited excellent adsorption capacity (99.1%), in comparison to chitosan (85%) and PSCSB (95%). Biosorption of Cu²⁺ ions onto PSCSB followed pseudo-first-order kinetic model while onto chitosan (CS) and PISCSB_1,2 followed pseudo-second-order kinetic model. However, Cu²⁺ ions biosorption onto all biosorbents fitted Langmuir adsorption isotherm model. Negative values of ΔG^o and ΔH^o confirmed the spontaneity and exothermic behavior of adsorption process. The new biosorbents could be successfully regenerated in aqueous 0.01 M EDTA solution with negligible loss in their adsorption capacity. Consequently, our new chitosan-based biosorbents may offer promising green and renewable scavengers for Cu²⁺ ions from wastewater.
