Synthesis and characterization of polyaniline nanoparticles in the presence of magnetic field and samarium chloride

A new and economical method of preparing polyaniline (PANI) nanoparticles will be introduced in this article. Compared with conventional methods, this method is much more simple and convenient. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) shows that the diameter of particles are between 30 and 50 nm, which is in good agreement with the results of a transmission electron microscope (TEM). Polyaniline/SmCl₃/Bp, polyaniline/SmCl₃ and polyaniline/HCl were prepared in a solution containing 1.0 mol dm⁻³ aniline, 1.0 mol dm⁻³ HCl with and without 0.5 mol dm⁻³ SmCl₃, in the presence and in the absence of a magnetic field, respectively. Their conductivity, UV-vis spectra, FTIR spectra, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) were investigated. Changes in UV-vis and FTIR spectra indicate a strong interaction between Samarium ions (SmCl₃) and polyaniline chains. The conductivity of PANI depends on magnetization and concentration of Sm³⁺. Polyaniline/SmCl₃/Bp has the higher degree of crystallinity than that of polyaniline/HCl.     

Sm3Cl[SiO4]2: Ein chlorarmes Chloridorthosilicat des Samariums

Sm₃Cl[SiO₄]₂: A Chlorine‐poor Chloride Orthosilicate of Samarium Pale yellow, plate‐like single crystals of Sm₃Cl[SiO₄]₂ (orthorhombic, Pnma; a = 701.74(8), b = 1800.8(2), c = 626.63(7) pm; Z = 4) are obtained upon the reaction of SmCl₃, Sm₂O₃ and SiO₂ (”︁Kieselgel”︁”︁) in 1 : 4 : 6 molar ratios, most advantageously in the presence of substantial amounts of NaCl as fluxing agent, after seven days at 850 °C in evacuated silica ampoules. The B‐type crystal structure (isotypic with e. g. Yb₃Cl[SiO₄]₂) contains discrete orthosilicate tetrahedra [SiO₄]^4– which form anionic double layers ({(Sm1)₂[SiO₄]₂}^2–) with (Sm1)³⁺. These are alternatingly sheethed along [010] with cationic monolayers ({(Sm2)Cl}²⁺) consisting of (Sm2)³⁺ and Cl^–. Both crystallographically independent Sm³⁺ cations exhibit coordination numbers of eight (Sm1: 1 Cl + 7 O; Sm2: 2 Cl + 6 O) with respect to the involved electronegative particles.     

Synthesis of Thioproline Salicylic Acid Samarium Complex and Microcalorimetric Study on Effects of the Complex on the Growth Metabolism of S. pombe Cells

The product from reaction of samarium chloride hexahydrate with salicylic acid and thioproline, [Sm(C₇H₅O₃)₂·(C₄H₆NO₂S)]·2H₂O (TSAS), was synthesized and characterized by IR, elemental analysis and thermogravimatric analysis. Particularly, the effect of the compounds TSAS, SmCl₃·6H₂O, C₇H₆O₃ and C₄H₇NO₂S on the growth and metabolism of S. pombe by a TAM Air isothermal calorimeter at 32°C is also reported. The thermokinetic parameters, which included the microbial growth rate constant (κ), inhibition ratio (I) and half inhibition concentration (IC₅₀), were obtained. The results showed that all the compounds TSAS, SmCl₃·6H₂O, C₇H₆O₃ and C₄H₇NO₂S possessed the bi‐directional biological effect and Hormesis effect. These stimulate the growth of the S. pombe at lower concentration, but inhibit the growth at higher concentration. The half inhibition concentrations (IC₅₀) of TSAS, SmCl₃·6H₂O, C₄H₇NO₂S and C₇H₆O₃ were found to be 0.732, 0.746, 0.746 and 1.43 mmol·L⁻¹, respectively. The inhibition ability of these compounds on the growth of the S. pombe has been observed to decrease in the order TSAS>SmCl₃·6H₂O=C₄H₇NO₂S>C₇H₆O₃. Moreover, the effect of TSAS on the growth and cytokinesis of S. pombe was investigated by cytomorphology and FT IR spectroscopy technique. The results indicated that TSAS had a direct impact on apoptosis, and could also inhibit the cell growth by reducing cytokinesis and the binding locations of drug (TSAS) in S. pombe cells could be the proteins and nucleic acid.     

Structure of SmCl3, DyCl3, and HoCl3 molecules based on the data of synchronous electron diffraction and mass-spectrometric experiment

Saturated vapors of SmCl₃, DyCl₃, and HoCl₃ have been studied in the framework of a synchronous electron diffraction and mass-spectrometric experiment at temperatures 1205 K, 1160 K, and 1148 K, respectively. In vapors of all compounds, along with monomer molecular forms, an insignificant (up to 2 mol.%) amount of dimers was detected. Parameters of the effective configuration of monomer molecules were determined. For molecules SmCl₃, DyCl₃, and HoCl₃ values of internuclear distances r _g(Ln-Cl) were 2.511(5) Å, 2.453(5) Å, and 2.444(5) Å, values of valence angles ∠_g(Cl-Ln-Cl) were 115.6(11)°, 116.8(10)°, and 116.6(10)°, respectively. It is shown that parameters of the r _g-structure are not incompatible with the notion of a planar equilibrium geometrical configuration of molecules SmCl₃, DyCl₃, and HoCl₃. Main tendencies in the change of structural and vibration characteristics in the series of lanthanide trichlorides are considered.     

Zur Kenntnis der Zustandsdiagramme SECl3/MCl2 (SE = La,Sm, Gd,Yb; M = Sr,Ba)

On Phase Diagrams of Rare Earth Trichlorides/MCl₂ (Rare Earth = La, Sm, Gd, yb; M = Sr, Ba) The systems LaCl₃(SmCl₃, GdCl₃, YbCl₃)? SrCl₂(BaCl₂) were determined by difference thermal analysis. The phase diagrams contain compounds of the formula BaLnCl₅, M₂LnCl₇, Ba₃LnCl₉ and probably Sr₄LnCl₁₁, which decompose peritectoidally resp. peritectically. Sr₂SmCl₇ and Sr₂GdCl₇ are isotypic, and as indicated by the very similar reflection patterns of the Guinier photographs related to the structure of the compound Sm₃Cl₇. The phase diagrams are comparable to the systems LnCl₃? LnCl₂ with similar radii quotients of the cations. The enthalpies of mixing of the systems LaCl₃(GdCl₃, YbCl₃)? SrCl₂ were measured calorimetrically. The values are exothermic, the minima were found at approximately 65 mol-% SrCl₂.     

Ein neues Samariumnitridsulfid: Sm4N2S3

A New Samarium Nitride Sulfide: Sm₄N₂S₃ The oxidation of samarium with sulfur in the presence of SmCl₃ and NaN₃ as nitrogen source (molar ratio: 12:9:4:2, evacuated silica vessel, some NaCl as flux, 850°C, 7 d) yields Sm₄N₂S₃ as lath-shaped, dark red single crystals. The by-products (NaCl and NaSm₂Cl₆) are rinsed with water from the crude product. The crystal structure of Sm₄N₂S₃ (monoclinic, C2/m (no. 12), Z = 2, a = 1 318.04(12), b = 391.57(2), c = 1 031.76(9) pm, β = 130.874(6)°, R = 0.036, R_w = 0.031) contains two crystallographically different Sm³⁺, both in sixfold coordination of the anions. Besides distorted octahedra [(Sm1)N₃S₃] and [(Sm2)NS₅], tetrahedra [(N^3?)(Sm)] connected via two cis-oriented edges to form chains [N(Sm1)_3/3(Sm2)_1/1]³⁺ build up the Mayn structural feature. These are arranged in the fashion of a closest packing of rods and held together by two crystallographically different S^2? anions which take care for charge neutrality and three-dimensional interconnection.     

Electrochemical Behaviour and Chemical Species of Sm(II) in AlCl3-NaCl with Different Lewis Acidity

AlCl₃-NaCl was utilized as an electrolyte in this work due to its low melting point and Lewis acidity, in which samarium exists in two oxidation states, Sm(III) and Sm(II), resulting in unique electrochemical behaviours. Sm metal dissolves in AlCl₃-NaCl melt to form SmCl₂, which is verified by electrochemical and spectroscopic techniques. As the Lewis acidity of the melt increases, the diffusion coefficient of Sm(II) gradually increases, and the activation energy of diffusion decreases. Moreover, an additional co-reduction peak of Sm³⁺ and AlCl₄⁻ is observed to be more positive than that of Al(0)/Al(III) in Lewis basic melt, which may be tightly correlated with the variation of Sm(II) coordination in AlCl₃-NaCl melt and ligand variation from Cl⁻ to AlCl₄⁻ and Al₂Cl₇⁻ as the Lewis acidity of the AlCl₃-NaCl melt increases, according to the in situ electronic absorption spectra of Sm in this melt.

Divalent Samarium: Synthesis and Crystal Structures of Sm4OCl6 and KSm2Cl5

Single crystals of Sm₄OCl₆ and KSm₂Cl₅ have been obtained by metallothermic reductions of SmCl₃ with lithium (in the presence of Sm₂O₃ or SmOCl) and potassium, respectively, at elevated temperatures in sealed tantalum containers. Sm₄OCl₆ (hexagonal, P6₃mc, Z = 2, a = 946.59(4), c = 717.88(4) pm) and KSm₂Cl₅ (monoclinic, P2₁/c, Z = 4, a = 888.06(6), b = 784.81(5), c = 1262.77(8) pm, ß = 90.085(6)°) are true divalent samarium compounds, Sm₄OCl₆ with remarkably short Sm²⁺–O^2? distances (236.0, 237.6 (3x) pm) within the [Sm₄O] tetrahedron.     

Phase equilibria in a ternary fullerenol-d(C<Subscript>60</Subscript>(OH)<Subscript>22–24</Subscript>)–SmCl<Subscript>3</Subscript>–H<Subscript>2</Subscript>O system at 25°C

The solubility in a ternary fullerenol-d (C₆₀(OH)_22–24)–SmCl₃–H₂O system at 25°C is studied via isothermal saturation in ampules. The solubility diagram is shown to be a simple eutonic one that consists of two branches corresponding to the crystallization of fullerenol-d (C₆₀(OH)_22–24 · 30H₂O) and samarium(III) chloride SmCl₃ · 6H₂O crystallohydrates and contains one nonvariant eutonic point corresponding to saturation with both crystallohydrates. The long branch of C₆₀(OH)_22–24 · 30H₂O crystallization shows the effect of fullerenol-d salting out of saturated solutions; in contrast, the short branch of SmCl₃ · 6H₂O crystallization shows the pronounced salting-in effect of samarium(III) chloride.

Using the reduction of the trichlorides by lithium metal/naphthalene in tetrahydrofurane (THF), SmCl₂ and EuCl₂ were prepared in solventfree state, very sparingly soluble inTHF. The reduction of YbCl₃, combined with extraction to eliminate the oxide chloride content, yielded the compound YbCl₂·THF, much more soluble inTHF than YbCl₃.

     

Crystal Engineering with the New Linker Tolanedisulfonic Acid (H2TDS): Helical Chains in Zn(TDS)(DMA)3, Linear Chains in Zn(TDS)(NMP)3, and Complex Anions in [HDMA]2[Zn(TDS)2(DMA)3](DMA)2

Reaction of 4,4′‐tolanedisulfonic acid, H₂TDS, with zinc hydroxide in dimethylacetamide, DMA, under solvothermal conditions led to the coordination polymer Zn(TDS)(DMA)₃ ( I ). In the crystal structure [trigonal, P3₂21, Z=3, a=1175.0(1) pm, c=1949.5(1) pm, R₁; wR₂ (I_o> 2σ(I_o))=0.0393; 0.0921] the disulfonate anions linked the Zn²⁺ ions into helical chains according to _∞¹[Zn(DMA)_3/1(TDS)_2/2] ( I ) causing the chirality of the compound. By using higher concentrations of H₂TDS in the starting mixture the compound [HDMA]₂[Zn(TDS)₂(DMA)₃](DMA)₂ ( II ) was formed. The structure [monoclinic, Cc, Z=4, a=1201.5(1) pm, b=1996.0(1) pm, c=2749.2(2) pm, β=101.897(2)°, R₁; wR₂ (I_o> 2σ(I_o))=0.0699; 0.2017] displayed the complex anion [Zn(TDS)₂(DMA)₃]^2? which was a perfect cut‐off of the helical chain in I . Charge compensation was achieved by protonated DMA molecules. If N‐methylpyrrolidone, NMP, was chosen as a solvent, the sulfonate Zn(TDS)(NMP)₃ ( III ) [monoclinic, I2/a, Z=4, a=1575.7(1) pm, b=1077.3(1) pm, c=1870.0(1) pm, β=101.189(9)°, R₁; wR₂ (I_o> 2σ(I_o))=0.0563; 0.1320] was obtained. Similarly to the findings for I , the formation of chains according to _∞¹[Zn(NMP)_3/1(TDS)_2/2] was observed. However, due to the more bulky NMP molecules these chains were no longer helical but straight instead.     

High Yield Regioselective Ring Opening of Epoxides Using Samarium Chloride Hexahydrate

Abstract

Epoxides were converted to the corresponding β-azidohydrins and β-iodohydrins using SmCl₃·6H₂O/NaN₃ in DMF and SmCl₃·6H₂O/NaI in acetonitrile respectively. The reactions were highly regioselective, efficient, and gave excellent yields under mild and neutral conditions.     

Determination of empirical polarity parameters of the cellulose solvent N,N-dimethylacetamide/LiCl by means of the solvatochromic technique

Empirical solvatochromic polarity parameters (α-, β-, and $ \pi ^* $, AN and DN, as well as E_T(30)-values) for cellulose, N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMA)/LiCl and cellulose dissolved in DMA/LiCl are presented. The following solvent polarity indicators were applied: 2,6-diphenyl-4-(2,4,6-triphenyl-1- pyridinio)-1-phenolate ( 1 ), bis(4-N,N-dimethylamino)-benzophenone (MK, 2 ), iron(II)-di-cyano-bis(1,10)-phenanthroline, Fe(phen)₂(CN)₂, ( 3 ), and copper(II)-N,N,N′,N′-tetramethyl-ethylendiamine-acetylacetonate tetraphenylborate/chloride/bromide (Cu(tmen)(acac)⁺ X⁻ ( 4 )). The solvatochromic shifts (ν_max) of the indicators 1 , 2 , 3 , and 4 adsorbed to cellulose or dissolved in DMA/LiCl reflect the corresponding properties of the surrounding, the dipolarity/polarizability ($ \pi ^* $), the hydrogen bond donating ability or Lewis acidity (α), and the hydrogen bond accepting ability or Lewis basicity (β), respectively. Any indicator employed is well characterized (r > 0.97) by a linear solvation energy relationship (LSER) taking the Kamlet and Taft parameter into account: ν_max(indicator) = ν_max,0 + s$ \pi ^* $ + aα + bβ. Cellulose, DMA/LiCl, and the cellulose/DMA/LiCl solution approach a similar polarity with an E_T(30) parameter about 52 to 53 kcal mol⁻¹. The hypothetical interaction strength parameter (acid-base interactions, dipolar–dipolar interactions) between cellulose and DMA/LiCl are calculated by means of the individual Kamlet–Taft parameters α, β, and $ \pi ^* $ of cellulose and DMA/LiCl via a multiparameter equation. The specific chloride/cellulose interaction plays a dominant role in the cellulose solvent DMA/LiCl. Comparison of the polarity parameters of DMA/LiCl with the polarity parameters of other mixtures—such as N,N-dimethyl- formamide/LiCl, DMA/NaCl, or DMA/LiBr—are presented as well. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Preparation of samarium-153-EDTMP and determination of its radiochemical purity using paper chromatography

Samarium-153-ethylenediaminetetramethylenephosphonate (¹⁵³Sm-EDTMP) has been used to palliate pain resulting from bone cancer. This paper describes the preparation of¹⁵³SmCl₃ from irradiated natural samarium and the ability of¹⁵³Sm to complex with EDTMP in liquid and in freeze-dried forms. The evaluation of radiolabeled EDTMP was done by paper chromatography. A rapid evaluation of free¹⁵³SmCl₃ and¹⁵³Sm-EDTMP was developed using a miniaturized chromatographic system.     

Chemical Fixation of CO2 and Other Heterogeneous Catalytic Studies by Employing a Layered Cu‐Porphyrin Prepared Through Single‐Crystal to Single‐Crystal Exchange of a Zn Analogue

A solvothermal reaction of Zn(NO₃)₂ ? 6 H₂O, tetra‐(4‐pyridyl)porphyrin (H₂TPyP), and 4,4′‐oxybis(benzoic acid) (H₂OBA) resulted in a new two‐dimensional Zn‐ porphyrin metal–organic framework compound, [Zn₂(C₄₀H₂₄N₈)_0.5(C₁₄H₈O₅)(DMA)](DMA)(H₂O)₆ ( 1 ; DMA=N,N‐dimethylacetamide). The Zn^II ions present in 1 could be exchanged by using a solution of Cu(NO₃)₂ ? 3 H₂O in DMA at room temperature to give [Cu₂(C₄₀H₂₄N₈)_0.5(C₁₄H₈O₅)(DMA)](DMA)(H₂O)₃ ( Cu∈1 ). The extra‐framework solvent molecules have been shown to be reversibly removed or exchanged without collapse of the framework. Solvent‐free Cu∈1 was explored as an active heterogeneous catalyst towards three different organic reactions: 1) the chemical fixation of CO₂ into cyclic carbonate at room temperature and 1 atm; 2) the nitroaldol reaction under solvent‐free conditions, and 3) the three‐component coupling of aminopyridine, benzaldehyde, and aryl alkynes followed by 5‐exo‐dig cyclization to produce the important pharmacophore imidazopyridine.     

Sm2SCl4: Ein Sulfidchlorid des dreiwertigen Samariums mit anti-SiS2-analogen Ketten {[SSm4/2]4+}

Sm₂SCl₄: A Sulfide Chloride of trivalent Samarium with anti -SiS₂-analogous Chains {[SSm_4/2]⁴⁺} Pale-yellow single crystals of the chloride-richest rare-earth(III) sulfide chloride known to date with the composition Sm₂SCl₄ are obtained by the oxidation of samarium metal with sulfur in the molar ratio 2 : 3 in a melt of excess SmCl₃ at 850 °C (7 d) in evacuated silica ampoules. The crystal structure of Sm₂SCl₄ (monoclinic, C2/c; a = 1519.8(1), b = 639.43(6), c = 702.18(7) pm, β = 98.057(8)°; Z = 4) exhibits Sm³⁺ in eightfold anionic coordination of two S^2– and six Cl^– arranged as bicapped trigonal prisms. Anti-SiS₂-analogous chains of trans-edge linked [SSm₄]¹⁰⁺ tetrahedra according to {[SSm_4/2]⁴⁺} running along [001] form the main structural feature and are hexagonally bundled as closest rod packing. Charge equalization and three-dimensional interconnection of these cationic chains occur via two crystallographically different Cl^– anions, each surrounded by three Sm³⁺.     

Interpretation of inorganic arsenic metabolism in humans in the light of observations made in vitro and in vivo in the rat

The toxicity of inorganic trivalent arsenic for living organisms is reduced by in vivo methylation of the element. In man, this biotransformation leads to the synthesis of monomethylarsonic (MMA) and dimethylarsinic (DMA) acids, which are efficiently eliminated in urine along with the unchanged form (As_i). In order to document the methylation process in humans, the kinetics of As_i, MMA and DMA elimination were studied in volunteers given a single dose of one of these three arsenicals or repeated doses of As_i. The arsenic methylation efficiency was also assessed in subjects acutely intoxicated with arsenic trioxide (As₂O₃) and in patients with liver diseases. Several observations in humans can be explained by the properties of the enzymic systems involved in the methylation process which we have characterized in vitro and in vivo in rats as follows: (1) production of As_i metabolites is catalyzed by an enzymic system whose activity is highest in liver cytosol; (2) different enzymic activities, using the same methyl group donor (S-adenosylmethionine), lead to the production of mono- and di-methylated derivatives which are excreted in urine as MMA and DMA; (3) dimethylating activity is highly sensitive to inhibition by excess of inorganic arsenic; (4) reduced glutathione concentration in liver moderates the arsenic methylation process through several mechanisms, e.g. stimulation of the first methylation reaction leading to MMA, facilitation of As_i uptake by hepatocytes, stimulation of the biliary excretion of the element, reduction of pentavalent forms before methylation, and protection of a reducing environment in the cells necessary to maintain the activity of the enzymic systems.
