Nature and Stability of Some Metallic Complexes of Dinucleating Cryptands in Solution III. The Monocycle [22]-Py₂N₄ The nature and stability of complexes formed by a new 22-membered monocycle L = [22]-Py₂N₄ with the cations Mⁿ⁺ = Cu²⁺, Co²⁺, Ni²⁺, Zn²⁺, Cd²⁺, Pb²⁺, and Ag⁺ have been determined in aqueous solutions (0.01M NaClO₄, 25°) by pH-metry and also, for the copper system, by UV-absorption spectrophotometry. The stepwise protonation constants of the four amine functions of L were 9.1, 8.3, 7.1 and 3.7 logarithms units, respectively. No evidence was found for the protonation of the two pyridine nitrogen atoms. Mononuclear complexes MLⁿ⁺ were identified in all systems investigated, but the dinuclear species M₂L²ⁿ⁺ were only found with Cu²⁺ and Ag⁺. The logarithms of the overall stability constants for the copper and silver complexes are CuL²⁺, 12.9; Cu₂L⁴⁺, 18.6; Agl⁺, 6.3; Ag₂L²⁺, 10.9, respectively. Mononuclear hydroxy species MLOH^(n?1)+ were identified in all systems except those of copper and silver. No dinuclear hydroxy complexes were detected. The complexing properties of L are compared to those of the large and less rigid bis-dien.     

Nature et stabilité des complexes métalliques de cryptands dinucléants en solution. I. Polyazapolyoxa macrotricycle cylindrique et monocycle constitutif

Nature and Stability of Some Metallic Complexes of Dinucleating Cryptands in Solution. I. A Polyazapolyoxa Cylindrical Macrotricycle and its Monocyclic Subunit pH-metry and UV spectrophotometry were used to study the complexing properties of the cylindrical macrotricycle, 1,7,13,19-tetraaza-4,16-dioxa-10,22,27,32-tetraoxatricyclo[17.5.5.5]tetratriacontane ( 1 ) and of its constitutive monocyclic subunit, 1,7-diaza-4,10-dioxacyclododecane ( 2 ) with some transition and heavy metal cations (Cu²⁺, Co²⁺, Ni²⁺, Zn²⁺, Cd²⁺, Pb²⁺, Ag⁺), in aqueous medium 0.1M Et₄NClO₄, at 25°. The protonation constants of the ligands as well as the nature and the stabilities of the complexes formed in the pH-regions studied were determined. The tricycle 1 only formed dinuclear M₂L complexes with Cu²⁺, Zn²⁺, and Ag⁺, accompanied in the latter case by a protonated mononuclear MLH species, and with Cu²⁺ and Zn²⁺ at high pH-values by dinuclear hydroxo complexes. Only mononuclear complexes were evidenced with the other cations, ML being accompanied either by protonated or hydroxy mononuclear species. The mononuclear complexes of 1 , when they existed, were more stable than the corresponding complexes of 2 , except for cobalt which formed complexes of comparable stability with both ligands. In the other cases (Cd²⁺, Pb²⁺, Ag⁺), the stability differences between the complexes of 1 and 2 increased with the size of the cation.     

Stabilité en solution aqueuse de complexes de métaux lourds avec des ligands diaza-polyoxamacrocycliques

Stability in aqueous solution of some complexes of heavy metals with diaza-polyoxamacrocyclic ligands Stability of metal complexes (Mⁿ⁺ = Cu²⁺, Ni²⁺, Co²⁺, Zn²⁺, Pb²⁺, Ag⁺ and Cd²⁺) with five diaza-polyoxamacrocycles (L = [2.1.1], [2.2.1], [2.2.2], [2.1] and [2.2] ) have been determined at 25°, in 0.1 M Et₄N⁺ClO aqueous solutions, by means of potentiometric titrations. All cations form MLⁿ⁺ complexes; Cu²⁺ also forms the MHL⁽ⁿ⁺¹⁾⁺ protonated species with both [2.2.1] and [2.1.1] ligands. The stability of these complexes has been discussed in terms of structure and by considering the ionic radii of the cations together with the radii of the macrocyclic cavities. Different behaviour is observed between some of these complexes and the well known alkali and alkaline-earth cryptates, partly due to the more covalent nature of bonds formed by the investigated cations and the donor sites of the ligands. The effect of the substitution of two oxygen by two sulfur atoms in the pentadentate ligand [2.1] on the stability of the complexes is reported.     

Nature et stabilité des complexes métalliques de cryptands dinucléants en solution II. Polythiamacrotricycles et monocycles apparentés

Nature and Stability of Some Metallic Complexes of Dinucleating Cryptands in Solution II. Polythiamacrotricycles and Related Monocyclic Subunits The stability constants of the Cu²⁺ and Ag⁺ complexes of the cylindrical macrotricycle 1a (1,7,13,19-tetraaza 4,16-dioxa 10,22,27,32-tetrathiatricyclo[17.5.5.5]tetratriacontane) have been determined by pH-metry, as well as those of the Cu²⁺, Co²⁺, Zn²⁺, Cd²⁺, Pb²⁺, and Ag⁺ complexes of the monocyclic subunit 2a (1,7-dimethyl-1,7-diaza 4,10-dithiacyclododecane), in aqueous solutions (NaClO₄) at 25°. In the Cu(II) systems, equilibria were reached slowly, and the results established by pH-metry were confirmed by UV/VIS spectrophotometric studies. The tricycle 1a forms dinuclear cryptates with copper and silver, with overall stability constants log β₂₁₀ (Cu₂- 1a )⁴⁺ = 18.5, log β_21-2 (Cu₂- 1a (OH)₂)²⁺ = 4.8, log β₂₁₀(Ag₂- 1a )²⁺ = 23.0. Ag⁺ also forms a mononuclear (Ag- 1a )⁺ complex, with log β₁₁₀ = 13.1, but no mononuclear species were detected in the Cu- 1a system. The absorption spectra of the bis-Cu(II) complexes of 1a and 2a in aqueous medium, MeOH and propylene carbonate (PC) are given, as well as those, in MeOH and PC, of the bis-copper complexes of the related monocycles 3 and 4 (1,7-diaza-4,10,13-trithiacyclopentadecane and 1.10-diaza 4,7,13,16-tetrathiacyclooctadecane, respectively), and tricycle 5 with two benzyl groups in the lateral chains. The complexing properties of the polyoxa- and polythia macrotricycles (Parts I and II of this series) are compared to those of other bis-chelating ligands, the bicyclic bis-tren and the monocyclic bis-dien.     

The stability constants of some bivalent metal complexes of α-hydroxyisobutyrate and lactate

The stability constants of the lactate and α-hydroxyisobutyrate complexes of Mn²⁺, Co²⁺, Ni²⁺, Cu²⁺, Zn²⁺, Cd²⁺, Pb²⁺ and UO₂²⁺ were determined by potentiometric titration. The average ligand number exceeds 2, indicating the formation of ML⁺, ML₂ and ML₃^- complexes. The existence of ML₃^- complexes was confirmed by electrophoretic experiments; no polynuclear complexes were formed. α-Hydroxyisobutyrate forms stronger complexes than lactate.     

Tétraazamacrocycles lipophiles: Extraction d'ions métalliques par une résine imprégnée

Lipophilic Tetraazamacrocyles: Extraction of Metal Ions by Impregnated Resin Extraction of Co²⁺, Ni²⁺, Cu²⁺, Zn²⁺, Cd²⁺, Pb²⁺ and Ag⁺ by lipophilic tetraazamacrocycles dispersed on a solid matrix (Amberlite XAD7) is reported. Extraction efficiency is sensitive to the metal ion identity and the cavity size of the macrocycle. The influence of kinetic factors upon extraction efficiency is discussed.     

Extraction of Ba<Superscript>2+</Superscript>, Pb<Superscript>2+</Superscript> and Cd<Superscript>2+</Superscript> into nitrobenzene by using strontium dicarbollylcobaltate in the presence of tetramethyl <Emphasis Type="Italic">p-tert</Emphasis>-butylcalix[4]arene tetraketone

From extraction experiments and γ-activity measurements, the exchange extraction constants corresponding to the general equilibrium M²⁺(aq)+SrL²⁺(nb)⇔ML²⁺(nb)+Sr²⁺(aq) taking place in the two-phase water-nitrobenzene system (M²⁺ = Ba²⁺, Pb²⁺, Cd²⁺; L = tetramethyl p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene tetraketone; aq = aqueous phase, nb = nitrobenzene phase) were evaluated. Moreover, the stability constants of the ML²⁺ complexes in water saturated nitrobenzene were calculated; they were found to increase in the order Ba²⁺<Cd²⁺<Pb²⁺.     

Conductance Studies on Complex Formation Between Aza-18-Crown-6 with Ag+, Hg2+ and Pb2+ Cations in DMSO–H2O Binary Solutions

The complexation reactions between Ag⁺, Hg²⁺ and Pb²⁺ metal cations with aza-18-crown-6 (A18C6) were studied in dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO)–water (H₂O) binary mixtures at different temperatures using the conductometric method. The conductance data show that the stoichiometry of the complexes in most cases is 1:1(ML), but in some cases 1:2 (ML₂) complexes are formed in solutions. A non-linear behaviour was observed for the variation of log K _f of the complexes vs. the composition of the binary mixed solvents. Selectivity of A18C6 for Ag⁺, Hg²⁺ and Pb²⁺ cations is sensitive to the solvent composition and in some cases and in certain compositions of the mixed solvent systems, the selectivity order is changed. The values of thermodynamic parameters (ΔH _c^o, ΔS _c^o) for formation of A18C6–Ag⁺, A18C6–Hg²⁺ and A18C6–Pb²⁺ complexes in DMSO–H₂O binary systems were obtained from temperature dependence of stability constants and the results show that the thermodynamics of complexation reactions is affected by the nature and composition of the mixed solvents.     

Crown-containing butadienyl dyes 8. Structures and complexation of chromogenic dithia-15(18)-crown-5(6) ethers

The structures of new butadienyl dyes of the benzothiazole series containing the dithia-15-crown-5 (2a) or dithia-18-crown-6 (2b) fragments were established by X-ray diffraction. Complexation of dyes 2a,b with Hg²⁺, Pb²⁺, Cd²⁺, Ag⁺, Zn²⁺, and alkaline-earth cations in aqueous-acetonitrile solutions was studied by spectrophotometry. At a high percentage of water in solutions (P _w ≈ 50%), these dyes have a very low ability to bind Pb²⁺ cations (logK < 2) and virtually do not bind Cd²⁺, Zn²⁺, and alkaline-earth cations. At the same time, these dyes form stable 1: 1 complexes with Hg²⁺ and Ag⁺ cations at all P _w. The stability constants of complexes with the Ag⁺ cation increase with increasing P _w because the free energy of hydration of this cation is much lower than the free energy of solvation in acetonitrile. In the P _w range from 0 to 75%, the stability constants of the complexes of dyes 2a,b with the Hg²⁺ cation are larger than those of the corresponding complexes with the Ag⁺ cation by more than four orders of magnitude.

Complexation dans le méthanol anhydre de Cu (II) et Zn (II) par des ligands diaza-polyoxamacrocycliques

Complexation in anhydrous methanol of Cu (II) and Zn (II) with diaza-polyoxamacrocyclic ligands Protonation of five diaza-polyoxamacrocyclic ligands, (L = [2.1], [2.2], [2.1.1.], [2.2.1], [2.2.2]), and their complexing properties towards Cu²⁺ and Zn²⁺ cations have been studied in anhydrous methanolic solutions. Potentiometric measurements have been carried out at 25°, using 5 · 10^?2MEt₄N⁺ClO as support-electrolyte, in order to determine the nature of the species formed upon complexation and their stability constants. The results were confirmed by spectrophotometry, for the cupric complexes of [2.1] and [2.2.2], and the electronic spectra of the different complexes were calculated. Comparison between complexation in aqueous and methanolic solutions have been made: as in water, ML²⁺ species and sometimes protonated MHL³⁺ species, with higher stability constants, are present in methanol; but the main difference is the formation of dinuclear complexes M₂L⁴⁺, between Cu²⁺ and all ligands except [2.1]. In these complexes the Cu²⁺ cations cannot be both ‘encaged’ in the ligand cavity because of its small size. The different possible structures are discussed in terms of the stability constants values. The protonation constants values and the existence of the binuclear complexes may indicate a possible conformational change in the complexing ligand on changing the solvent from water to methanol.     

Tetraazamacrocycles lipophiles: Application à l'extraction liquide-liquide des ions métalliques

Lipophilic Tetraazamacrocycles: Application to Liquid-liquid Extraction of Metal Ions Liquid-liquid extraction of Co²⁺, N²⁺, Cu²⁺, Zn²⁺, Cd²⁺, Pb²⁺, and Ag⁺ by lipophilic tetraazamacrocycles is reported in different solvents. Extraction efficiency is sensitive to the metal ion identity, the cavity size of the macrocycle and the pH of the aqueous phase. The influence of the organic receiving phase and the anion identity is discussed and expressed in terms of donnor-acceptor concepts. Further-more, the lipophilic tetraazamacrocycles exhibit high extraction efficiency towards these transition- and heavy-metal ions.     

Complexing Properties of Phenolic Diazacrown Ethers with Transition and Heavy Metal Ions

The complexation equilibria of the phenolic diazacrown ether derivatives L1–L11 with transition and heavy metal ions (Co²⁺, Ni²⁺, Cu²⁺, Zn²⁺, Cd²⁺, Hg²⁺ and Pb²⁺) have been studied in methanol using UV absorption spectrophotometry. A majority of the systems studied formed only ML complexes. Using a ligand with a different position of the substituents on the phenolic side arms (denoted L7) leads to ML₂ formation with most of the metal ions. Every ligand forms very strong ML and ML₂ complexes with Pb²⁺, and, in nearly all cases, only a lower limit could be derived for the stability constant. The stability of the complexes generally increases as the length of the para-substituents on the phenol groups increases. Among the metal ions tested, Zn²⁺ and Hg²⁺ are the least preferred by alkyl and alkoxy derivatives, respectively.     

Spectrophotometric Study of Complexation of Tri-Aza Dibenzosulfide and Dibenzosulfoxide Macrocyclic Compounds with Heavy Metal Ions

The complexation reactions between 7,10,13-triaza-1-thia-4,16-dioxa-20,24-dimethyl-2,3;17,18-dibenzo-cyclooctadecane-6,14-dione ( TTD ) and 7,10,13-triaza-1-sulfoxo-4,16-dioxa-20,24-dimethyl-2,3;17,18-dibenzo-cyclooctadecane-6,14-dione ( TSD ) macrocycles with Ag⁺, Cd²⁺, Cu²⁺, Pb²⁺, Sr²⁺, Tl⁺, and Zn²⁺ ions have been studied in ethanol and methanol solutions at 25°C. The complexes formed between macrocycles ( TTD ) and ( TSD ) with these metals cations had a stiochiometry of 1:1 and 1:2, respectively. The stability constants of the resulting complexes were determined and found to decrease in the order Cu²⁺ > Zn²⁺ > Ag⁺ > Tl⁺ > Cd²⁺ > Pb²⁺ > Sr²⁺ with macrocycle ( TTD ) and Tl⁺ > Zn²⁺ > Cd²⁺ > Pb²⁺ > Cu²⁺ > Ag⁺ > Sr²⁺ with macrocycle ( TSD ).     

The Stability of Metal N,N,N′,N′‐Tetrakis(2‐aminoethyl)ethane‐ 1,2‐diamine (=penten) Complexes and the X‐Ray Crystal Structure of [Tl(NO3)(penten)](NO3)2

Complex formation between N,N,N′,N′‐tetrakis(2‐aminoethyl)ethane‐1,2‐diamine (penten) and the metal ions Mn²⁺, Co²⁺, Cu²⁺, Zn²⁺, Cd²⁺, Hg²⁺, Ag⁺, Pb²⁺, and Tl³⁺ (in 1.00M NaNO₃ and 25°) was investigated by potentiometry and spectrophotometry. These are the first reported values of the stability constants for this ligand with Ag⁺, Pb²⁺, and Tl³⁺. The X‐ray crystal structure of [Tl(NO₃)(penten)](NO₃)₂ was determined. In this structure, Tl³⁺ shows a coordination number of seven made up of the six N‐donors and one O‐atom of NO.     

Complexes macrocycliques des lanthanides: Stabilité et comportement électrochimique dans le méthanol et le carbonate de propylène

Macrocyclic Complexes of Lanthanides: Stability and Electrochemical Behaviour in Methanol and Propylene Carbonate The stabilities of the 1:1 complexes of the trivalent lanthanides with the diazapolyoxamacrocycles (2.1.) and (2.2.1.) in anhydrous methanol and propylene carbonate have been determined at 25°, by competitive potentiometric methods using H⁺ or Ag⁺ as auxiliary cations, with Et₄NClO₄ as supporting-electrolyte. Additional data are also reported for the crown ethers 15C5 and 18C6 in propylene carbonate. It is shown that the diazapolyoxamacrocycles are much stronger complexing agents for trivalent lanthanides than macrocyclic polyethers, and that the bicyclic (2.2.1.) cryptates are more stable than the monocyclic (2.1.) complexes. With increasing atomic number of the lanthanides, the stability increases with diazapolyoxamacrocycles and decreases with cyclic polyethers. The electrochemical reduction of the trivalent samarium and europium cryptates has been investigated by polarography on a dropping Hg-electrode, in water and methanol. In both solvating solvents, the +2 oxidation states of the cations are stabilized by complexation.     

Thermodynamik der Metallkomplexbildung mit Polyoxadiazamacrocyclen

Ligands of the type H_3-nN(CH₂CH₂OCH₂CH₂OCH₂CH₂)_nNH_3?n with n values from 1 to 3 have been investigated. The stability constants and the heat evolved by formation of the 1:1 complexes of Na⁺, K⁺, Rb⁺, Tl⁺, Ca²⁺, Sr²⁺, Ba²⁺, Cd²⁺, Ag⁺, Hg²⁺ and Pb²⁺ have been determined. The complex formation is discussed in terms of ΔH and ΔS taking into consideration the radii of the cations. In contrast with the normal trend, for the A cations, complex formation is exothermic and almost exclusively favoured by the reaction enthalpy.     

Complexation du 2‐[(5‐méthyl­pyrazolyl)méthyle]benzimidazole par les chlorures de cuivre et de cadmium

The structures of dichloro{2‐[(5‐methyl‐1H‐pyrazol‐3‐yl‐κN²)methyl]‐1H‐1,3‐benzimidazole‐κN³}copper(II), [CuCl₂(C₁₂H₁₂N₄)], and di‐μ‐chloro‐bis(chloro{2‐[(5‐methyl‐1H‐pyrazol‐3‐yl‐κN²)methyl]‐1H‐1,3‐benzimidazole‐κN³}­cadmium(II)), [Cd₂Cl₄(C₁₂H₁₂N₄)₂], show that these compounds have the structural formula [ML(Cl)₂]_n, where L is 2‐[(5‐methylpyra­zolyl)methyl]benzimidazole. When M is copper, the complex is a monomer (n = 1), with a tetrahedral coordination for the Cu atom. When M is cadmium (n = 2), the complex lies about an inversion centre giving rise to a centrosymmetric dimer in which the Cd atoms are bridged by two chloride ions and are pentacoordinated.     

Complexation of Ba2+, Pb2+, Cd2+, and UO22+ Ions with 18-Crown-6 and Dicyclohexyl-18-Crown-6 in Nitromethane and Acetonitrile Solutions by a Competitive NMR Technique Using the 7Li Nucleus as a Probe

[⁷Li] NMR measurements were used to determine the stoichiometry and stability of Li⁺ complexes with 18-crown-6 and dicyclohexyl-18-crown-6 in nitromethane and acetonitrile solutions. A competitive [⁷Li] NMR technique was also employed to probe the complexation of Ba²⁺, Pb²⁺, Cd²⁺, and UO₂²⁺ ions with the same crown ethers–solvent systems. All the resulting 1 : 1 complexes were more stable in nitromethane than acetonitrile solution. In all cases, the stability of both crown complexes in nitromethane and acetonitrile varied in the order Pb²⁺ > Ba²⁺ > Li⁺ > Cd²⁺ > UO₂²⁺.

The complexation of dibenzopyridino-18-crown-6 with some transition and heavy metal ions in methanol solution at various temperatures was studied by a competitive potentiometric method using a Ag⁺/Agelectrode system. The stoichiometry and stability of the resulting complexes were computed by the MINIQUAD program. The stability of the resulting complexes varied in the order Ag⁺ > Pb²⁺ > Tl⁺ > Cu²⁺ > Cd²⁺ > Zn²⁺. The enthalpy and entropy of the resulting 1:1 complexeswere evaluated from the temperature dependence of the stability constants.The complexes of all cations were enthalpy-stabilized but entropy-destabilized,except for Ag⁺ and Pb²⁺ ions,which were also entropy-stabilized.     

Extraction distributions of microamounts of strontium and barium in the two-phase water-HCl-nitrobenzene-dibenzo-21-crown-7-hydrogen dicarbollylcobaltate system

Extraction of microamounts of strontium and barium by a nitrobenzene solution of hydrogen dicarbollylcobaltate (H⁺B⁻) in the presence of dibenzo-21-crown-7 (DB21C7, L) has been investigated. The equilibrium data have been explained assuming that the complexes HL⁺, ML²⁺, ML₂²⁺ and MHL₂³⁺ (M²⁺ = Sr²⁺, Ba²⁺) are extracted into the organic phase. The values of extraction and stability constants of the species in nitrobenzene saturated with water have been determined.
