Spectrophotometric determination of microgram amounts of chromium(VI) and total chromium in waste water

Summary A spectrophotometric method has been developed for the determination of chromium in waste water with 5-Br-PADAP (2-(5-brorno-2-pyridylazo)-5-diethylaminophenol). Chromium(III) forms a blue-purple complex at pH 4.7 upon heating. The color is very stable and is highly sensitive for chromium. At 600 nm it obeys Beer's law in the concentration range of 0–15g of Cr(III) per 25 ml. The sensitivity and molar absorptivity of the reaction are 0.00065g of Cr(III) per cm² and 7.93×10⁴1 · mole^–1 · cm^–1, respectively. The continuous variation and molar ratio methods indicate that chromium forms 12 complex with the ligand.

Kinetic-spectrophotometric determination of molybdenum (VI) and tungsten (VI) in mixtures

A simple kinetic-spectrophotometric method is described for the determination of molybdenum(VI) and tungsten(VI) in mixtures, without prior separation. The method is based on the catalytic effect of molybdenum(VI) and tungsten(VI) on the oxidation of 2,4-diaminophenol dihydrochloride (DAP) by hydrogen peroxide in acidic medium. The reaction was followed spectrophotometrically by measuring the rate of change in absorbance with time at 500 nm. A partial inhibition in the catalytic activity of each catalyst, when the other one is present, at all ratios of Mo(VI) W(VI) mixtures studied was observed. On the other hand, the catalytic activity of tungsten(VI) dropped to zero whilst that of molybdenum(VI) decreased slightly, in the presence of citrate ions. Two sets of experiments were carried out, the first in the absence and the other in the presence of citrate, and the resolution of Mo(VI)/W(VI) mixtures was achieved by solving two simultaneous equations. Various molar ratios of Mo(VI) W(VI), at the 10^–6 M level, from 0.2 1 to 5 1 can be determined with satisfactory precision and accuracy. The selectivity of the method was investigated and the method was applied successfully to the determination of molybdenum and tungsten in each other's presence in steel.

Mixed metal hydroxycarboxylic acid complexes. Spectrophotometric study of complexes of U(VI) with In(III), Cu(II), Zn(II) and Cd(II)

The formation of mixed metal complexes between uranium (VI), as the central metal ion, and aluminium (III), indium (III), copper (II), zinc (II) and cadmium (II), as the additional metal ions, with a hydroxycarboxylic acid chosen between citric, tartaric or malic, has been studied using spectrophotometric methods.The effect of pH has been examined, and the results show that at pH=4 stable complexes are formed for most of the systems. At this pH the method of mole ratio and Job's method of continuous variations, were employed to determine the stoichiometry of the mixed metal complexes. Al(III), In(III) and Cu(II) showed a high tendency to form mixed metal complexes with U(VI), while the formation of complexes is uncertain for Cd(II) and Zn(II). The ratio of the ligand to the total metal ion has been found to be 21 and metal:metal ratios of 11 and 12 have been observed.Represents part of the Ph.D. thesis submitted by Emanuel Manzurola to Ben Gurion University of the Negev.

Effect of alkali ions (Na+, K+) on the solvent extraction of uranium(VI) with a di-carboxylated calix[4] arene

The solvent extraction of uranium(VI) with a di-carboxylated calix[4]arne (LH₂) in chloroform and 1,2-dichloroethane has been studied in the presence or absence of alkali ions (M=Na⁺,K⁺). For UO ₂ ²⁺ when studied alone, a 12 (metal: ligand) extracted species is evidenced, with a rather low associated extraction equilibrium constant. The efficiency of extraction increases drastically in the presence of alkali ions, due to the formation of heteronuclear complexes. In all cases, the extracted species are found to be both 122 and 112 (UO ₂ ²⁺ MLH₂) mixed complexes, except in chloroform with K⁺, where only the latter is formed. In the case of Na⁺, mass spectrometry spectra confirm the existence of both homo and heteronuclear complexes as determined in the extraction studies.     

Tungsten(VI) complexes formed in an excess of gluconic acid: A polarimetric and spectrophotometric study

Summary The tungsten(VI)-gluconic acid system in an excess of this organic reagent has been spectroscopically and polarimetrically studied and four species, two mononuclear with stoichiometry 12 (metalligand) and two dinuclear with composition 22, have been identified. The non-formation of a binuclear species with stoichiometry 21 (metalligand) demonstrates some preference towards coordination of carboxylate group.The pH of the medium is the main variable controlling the formation and interconversion equilibria, which are similar to those previously described for other -hydroxyacids ligands. Thus, the three species being stable at a lower pH require for their formation from [WO₄]^2– and gluconate ions, 2,2 and 2.5H⁺/W, respectively.However, for pH values higher than 9.0, where the carboxylic group may be assumed not to coordinate, a fourth weaker monomeric complex is formed, similar to those formed by mannitol or sorbitol at the same pH.     

Spectrophotometric study of the reaction of Co(II) and Ni(II) with nitroso-R-salt and α-nitroso-β-naphthol

The complexes of Co(II) and Ni(II) with nitroso-R-salt are studied by conductometric titration and spectrophotometric methods in buffer solutions of differentpH. The study proved the possible formation of (11), (12) and (13) complexes for Co(II) while Ni(II) forms (11) and (12) complexes (metal:ligand) only. The factors affecting complex formation are established and the formation constants of the complexes are evaluated. The ir spectra of the solid complexes with -nitroso--naphthol revealed that the ligand exhibits the nitrosophenol structure and that the reaction takes place through proton displacement from the OH-group.

Peroxide derivatives of molybdenum(VI) in neutral and alkaline media

Summary The peroxidation of molybdenum(VI) was investigated in neutral and alkaline media. The stability constants of the peroxo complexes were determined by spectrophotometric measurement as (9.12±0.67)×10^–7, (2.68±0.17) ×10⁵, (1.26±0.06)×10⁶ and (1.58±0.02) for the 11, 21 (yellow), 31 and 41 (red) species. The diperoxomolybdate disproportionates into the tetraperoxo derivative when treated with alkali. Formation of the tetraperoxo complex was found to be pH dependent according to a curve, with maximum at pH 10. Acidification of tetraperoxomolybdate solution results in the regeneration of hydrogen peroxide and the diperoxo complex is reformed.
