Synthesis and Structure of Heterometallic Chromium(III) Complexes with Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid

The complexes [M(Tsc)₂][Cr(Edta)]₂, where M is Ni, Cu; Tsc is thiosemicarbazide; Edta^4– is the ethylenediaminetetraacetate anion, were synthesized and characterized by X-ray diffraction. The ionic structures are composed of the [M(Tsc)₂]²⁺ cations and [Cr(Edta)]^– anions with a component ratio of 1 : 2. The cation has a distorted trans-square coordination. The carboxyl groups of the H₄Edta molecule are deprotonated and the ligand is attached to the Cr atom in the hexadentate chelating mode. The cations and anions are linked by a system of hydrogen bonds.__________Translated from Koordinatsionnaya Khimiya, Vol. 31, No. 5, 2005, pp. 370–375.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Ciornea, Filippova, Gulea, Shova, Borta, Simonov.     

Chromium(II) Complexes with Hydroxyethylidenediphosphonic Acid

The complex formation of chromium(II) with hydroxyethylidenediphosphonic acid (HEDP, H₅L) in an aqueous solution is studied by spectrophotometry. The pH region is determined where the HEDP complexonates of chromium(II) are stable. The effect of pH on the complexation and the composition of the coordination sphere of the complex ions is shown. The optimum conditions for the practical application of HEDP as a stabilizing ligand are chosen. The instability constants for tetra-, tri-, di-, and monoprotonated and neutral chromium(II) hydroxyethylidenediphosphonate complexes were calculated, whose pK were found to be 1.21, 2.43, 6.87, 12.60, 19.40, respectively. A new complex of chromium(II), Na₄[Cr(H₂L)₂ · 2H₂O] · 4H₂O, was isolated from a solution and characterized using elemental, IR spectroscopic, and thermographic analyses.     

Synthesis and Structure of Co(III) Complexes with 2-Pyridinecarboxylic Acid

The Co(III) complexes with pyridinecarboxylic acid, Na[Co(Pc)₂(NO₂)₂] (I) and NH₄[Co(Pc)₂(NO₂)₂] (II), where Pc is the 2-pyridinecarboxylate anion, have been synthesized and studied by X-ray diffraction. In the crystal, the complex anions are combined through the Na⁺ and NH ₄ ⁺ cations. In II, the anion and the cation are combined by hydrogen bonds.     

Complexation of Am(III) and Nd(III) by 1,10-Phenanthroline-2,9-Dicarboxylic Acid

The complexant 1,10-phenanthroline-2,9-dicarboxylic acid (PDA) is a planar tetradentate ligand that is more preorganized for metal complexation than its unconstrained analogue ethylendiiminodiacetic acid (EDDA). Furthermore, the backbone nitrogen atoms of PDA are aromatic, hence are softer than the aliphatic amines of EDDA. It has been hypothesized that PDA will selectively bond to trivalent actinides over lanthanides. In this report, the results of spectrophotometric studies of the complexation of Nd(III) and Am(III) by PDA are reported. Because the complexes are moderately stable, it was necessary to conduct these titrations using competitive equilibrium methods, competitive cation complexing between PDA and diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid, and competition between ligand protonation and complex formation. Stability constants and ligand protonation constants were determined at 0.1 mol·L^?1 ionic strength and at 0.5 mol·L^?1 ionic strength nitrate media at 21 ± 1 °C. The stability constants are lower than those predicted from first principles and speciation calculations indicate that Am³⁺ selectivity over Nd³⁺ is less than that exhibited by 1,10-phenanthroline.

Kinetics and Mechanism of Chromium(III)-Picolinato and Chromium(III)-Dipicolinato Complexes Aquation in HNO3 Solutions

The acid-catalyzed aquation of [Cr(pic)(H₂O)₄]₂ ²⁺ and [Cr(dpic)(H₂O)₃]⁺(pic = picolinic acid anion, dpic = dipicolinic acid dianion) in nitrate(V) media was studied. The reaction is reversible in the case of the pic-complex and practically irreversible in the case of the dpic-complex. It is assumed that the reactive form of the substrate undergoes fast chelate ring-opening followed by protolytic equilibria, followed by the rate of the Cr—O bond breaking of the monodentate bonded ligand which is the rate-determining step. The kinetics of pic/dpic ligand liberation were followed spectrophotometrically in the 0.4–2.0 M HNO₃ range at I= 2.0 M. The following dependences of the pseudo-first order rate constants on [H⁺] have been established:k _obs=a+b[H⁺](where b and a are apparent rate constants for the forward and the reverse reaction of the pic-complex) and k _obs=b[H⁺]+c[H⁺]²(where b and c are apparent rate constants for the dpic liberation). Fast protolytic pre-equilibria, leading to protonation of the carboxylic oxygen atom on the monodentate bonded ligand, preceeds ligand liberation.     

A Study of Formation Equilibria of the Complexes of Some Metal Cations with Polyoxa Macrocyclic Ligands

Abstract

The complexes formed by the Na⁺, K⁺, Rb⁺, Ca²⁺, UO²⁺ ₂, and Ag⁺ cations with the macrocyclic polyethers 18-crown-6, benzo-15-crown-5, and dicyclohexy1-18-crown-6 are investigated. The stability constants of these complexes have been determined potentiometrically in (90% vol.) ethanol-water solutions at 25[ddot]C and an ionic strength μ= 0.1 (achieved with tetrabuty lammonium perchlorate). The stablity of the investigated complexes was interpreted in terms of “caging” the metal cation into the cavity of the macrocyclic ligand, an effect which depends on the ratio of the diameter of the complexed cation over the diameter of the cavity of the complexing ligand.     

Solution Chemistry of Arsenic Anions in the Presence of Metal Cations

The interaction of arsenic(V) and arsenic(III) oxyanions with metal cations was investigated by potentiometry under temperature and ionic strength conditions approaching those prevailing in natural waters. The selection includes the major metal cations and some other ions of high environmental relevance. Ionic pairs [M(As^VO₄)]^?, [M(HAs^VO₄)] and [M(H₂As^IIIO₃)]⁺ formation is suggested for all +2 metal cations, based on the potentiometric results. These ion-pairs between arsenic anions and other metal cations are hardly ever mentioned or taken into account when arsenic speciation in natural waters is considered. These results provide the basis for studying arsenic speciation in natural aquatic systems, on which environmental fate, bioavailability and toxicity of the element depend. Some extrapolations to the conditions of the natural waters are presented as well as some insights into the adsorption process onto hydrous oxides.

Studies of Size-Based Selectivity in Aqueous Ternary Complexes of Americium(III) or Lanthanide(III) Cations

Spectrophotometric and calorimetric titrations were used to determine the equilibrium constants (log₁₀ K ₁₁₁) and enthalpies of formation (ΔH ₁₁₁) for aqueous ternary complexes of the form M(L^a)(L^b) (M = Nd³⁺, Sm³⁺, Tb³⁺, Ho³⁺, Er³⁺, or Am³⁺; L^a = DTPA^5?, DO3A^3?, or CDTA^4?; L^b = oxalate (Ox), malonate (Mal), or iminodiacetate (IDA)). Inner-sphere ternary complexes were readily formed with the septadentate DO3A (1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7-triacetic acid) and hexadentate CDTA (trans-1,2-diaminocyclohexanetetraacetic acid) ligands, whose binary complexes have residual metal-coordinated water molecules that are readily displaced by the smaller secondary ligands. The stability constants for the formation of lanthanide–CDTA complexes with Ox, Mal, and IDA generally increase with decreasing ionic radius when steric hindrance is minimal, with the trend in the M(CDTA)^? formation constants overshadowing any size-based reversal in the stepwise ternary complexation constants. Similar ternary complexes with DO3A showed little increase in thermodynamic stability compared to analogous CDTA complexes and no preference for larger Ln cations. The octadentate DTPA (diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid) ligand proved too large to form ternary complexes to a measurable extent with any of the secondary ligands investigated, despite the presence of one residual inner sphere water molecule.     

Oxo-Centered Trinuclear Chromium(III) Complexes with Both Carboxylate and Amidoximate Ligands

Compounds [Cr ₃ ^III (μ₃-O)(O₂CPh)₅(H₂N-sao)(EtOH)₂]·EtOH (1·EtOH) and [Cr ₃ ^III (μ₃-O)(O₂CPh)₃(H₂N-pao)₃]NO₃·H₂N-paoH·EtOH (2·NO₃·H₂N-paoH·EtOH) have been obtained either in a sequential one-pot, two-step procedure in which Cr(NO₃)₃·9H₂O is first reacted with sodium benzoate in ethanol under reflux, followed by the addition of salicylamidoxime (H₂N-saoH₂) or pyridine-2-amidoxime (H₂N-paoH), or in a one-step protocol starting from [Cr ₃ ^III (μ₃-O)(O₂CPh)₆(EtOH)₃]NO₃. They were characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, magnetometry and EPR spectroscopy. Complexes 1 and 2 are derived from the parent complex [Cr ₃ ^III (μ₃-O)(O₂CPh)₆(EtOH)₃]⁺ by replacement of one and three benzoate ligands, respectively, by oximate ligands. The salicylamidoximate and pyridine-2-amidoximate ligands display a tridentate coordination mode with the N–O oximate group bridging a pair of Cr atoms and the additional ligating atom substituting for an ethanol ligand of the parent complex. In both cases susceptibility, magnetization and EPR data reveal a S _T = 1/2 ground state with a nearly isotropic g-tensor.     

Vanadium(III) Complexes with Picolinic Acid and Dipicolinic Acid in Aqueous Solution

The complex species formed in aqueous solution (25 ^∘C, I = 3.0 mol-dm⁻³ KCl ionic medium) between V³⁺ cation and the ligands: picolinic acid (Hpic, HL) and dipicolinic acid (H₂dipic, H₂L), have been studied potentiometrically and by spectrophotometric measurements. The application of the least-squares computer program LETAGROP to the experimental emf (H) data, taking into account the hydrolytic species of V³⁺ ion, indicates that under the employed experimental conditions, the formation of the complexes [VL]²⁺, [V(OH)L]⁺, [VL₂]⁺, [VL₃], [V₂OL₄] with picolinic acid and the complexes [VL]⁺, [V(OH)L], [V(OH)₂L]⁻, [V(HL)(L)], and [VL₂]⁻ with dipicolinic acid were observed. The stability constants of the complexes formed were determined by potentiometric measurements, and spectrophotometric measurements were done in order to perform a qualitative characterization of the complexes formed in aqueous solution.

Formation and transformation of Amminecarbonatocobalt(III) Complexes

The preparation is described of [CoCO₃(NH₃)₅]ClO₄ · H₂O, trans-[CoCO₃(NH₃)₄(¹⁵NH₃)]ClO₄, and trans-[CoCO₃(NH₃)₄(NH₂CH₃)]ClO₄. The transformation reactions of these complexes, in which a chelate carbonate ligand is formed and one NH₃ is eliminated, were studied in solution and in the solid state. ¹H NMR spectroscopy is used for the identification of the products. It is shown that the transformation reactions are not stereospecific.     

Structures of Metal Complexes with Anions of Di(hydroxymethyl)phosphinic and Di(chloromethyl)phosphinic Acids

This paper considers the structural features of complexes containing Ag(I), 3dmetals (Cu and Ni), and rare-earth elements (REE) such as La, Nd, Er, and Lu, alkaline-earth (Sr) or alkaline (Li, Na) metals with anions of di(hydroxymethyl)phosphinic (L¹) or di(chloromethyl)phosphinic (L²) acids with a general formula RR"PO^– ₂, where R = R" = OH and Cl for L¹and L², respectively. Different patterns of coordination between organophosphorus acids and different metals (four for each L¹and L²) are described. Structures of copper(II) complexes with L¹and L²were compared with those of Cu(II) with dialkyl- and diaryl-substituted monophosphonic and aminophosphinic acids.     

Heteroligand Cobalt(III) Complexes with Triethanolamine and Aminoacetic Acid

Heteroligand cobalt(III) chelates with triethanolamine and glycine, [Co(HTetm)GlyH₂O] · 2H₂O (I) and [Co(HTetm)GlyNH₃] · 2H₂O (II) (H₃Tetm is N(C₂H₄OH)₃ and HGly is glycine), were synthesized. The acidity constants of complex I were determined at an ionic strength of 0.1. The reactions of I with alcoholic solutions of acids, ammonia, and ammonium nitrate were studied. Binuclear complexes were obtained upon the interaction of I and II with CoCl₂ · 6H₂O. The complexes were characterized using UV–VIS (in aqueous and alcoholic solutions) and IR (in the solid state) spectroscopy. The ¹³C NMR spectra of solutions of Iand II were recorded. The plausible structures of the complexes are discussed.
