Kinetic Determination of Iodide Traces Based on the Manganese(III) Metaphosphate–Arsenic(III) Reaction in the Presence of Orthophosphoric Acid

The kinetics of the iodide-catalyzed Mn(III) metaphosphate–As(III) reaction was studied in the presence of orthophosphoric acid. The reaction rate was followed spectrophotometrically at 516nm. It was established that orthophosphoric acid increased the reaction rate and that the extent of the non-catalytic reaction was extremely small. A kinetic equation was postulated and the apparent rate constant calculated. The dependence of the reaction rate on temperature was investigated and the energy of activation and other kinetic parameters determined. Iodide was determined under the optimal experimental conditions in the range 0.6–2.5ng·mL^–1 with a relative standard deviation of up to 6.7% and a detection limit of 0.12ngmL^–1. The effect of foreign ions on the accuracy of the determinations was also investigated.     

Kinetic Spectrophotometric Determination of Vanadium (V) Based on its Inhibitory Effect on the Thionine – Ascorbic Acid Reaction

ABSTRACT

A simple and sensitive kinetic method for the determination of vanadium(V) based on its inhibitory effect on the reduction of thionine by ascorbic acid at pH=5 is described. The reaction rate is monitored spectrophotometrically by measuring the decrease in absorbance of thionine at 598 nm after a fixed time (10 min). The calibration graph is linear in the range of 10 ? 120 ng ml^?1 of vanadium(V) and the detection limit is 6 ng ml^?1. The relative standard deviation (RSD) for 80 ng ml^?1 of V(V) was 0.96% (n=10). The method was successfully applied to the determination of vanadium in a certified reference sample.     

Catalytic Spectrophotometric Determination of Bromide Based on the Diphenylcarbazide–Chromium(VI)–Iodate Reaction

A new catalytic spectrophotometric method for the determination of bromide is proposed. Diphenylcarbazide reacts with chromium(VI) ions in an acid medium to give a violet complex. The method is based on the bromide-catalyzed oxidation of this violet complex by iodate followed by measuring the color change at = 542 nm spectrophotometrically. The reaction starts after an induction period. Bromide ions catalyze this reaction, so that the induction period is decreased by the addition of Br^–. The derivative of the absorbance with respect to time was calculated. The maximum absorbance difference (A _m) and thetime taken to reach the maximum difference (t _m) were measured from the derivative curve. These values are used as the measured parameters for bromide determination. Under optimum conditions bromide can be determined in the range of 0.5–8 g/mL. The detection limit is 0.25 g/mL, and the relative standard deviation for ten replicate measurements of 1 g/mL of bromide is 1.57%. The method was applied to the determination of bromide in the Persian Gulf water.     

Mechanistic Study of Catalysis in the Mizoroki–Heck Reaction with Anhydrides of Aromatic Acids

A kinetic study of reaction of alkene arylation by anhydrides of aromatic acids (modified Mizoroki–Heck reaction) was carried out using differential selectivity as the main measured parameter. The results obtained under conditions of competition between a pair of alkenes or a pair of aromatic anhydrides point to the occurrence of the reaction via a homogeneous mechanism of catalysis analogously to a conventional variant of reaction with aryl halides as arylating reagents. The hypothesis that the active catalyst is homogeneous agrees with the results of kinetic studies of processes of catalyst formation and deactivation.

Synthesis of Phosphorus-Containing Podands―Analogs of Diglycolamide Based on Diphenyl- and Dibutylphosphorylmethanol under Phase Transfer Catalysis Conditions

A convenient method for preparation of phosphorus-containing podands R₂P(O)CH₂OCH₂X, where X = C(O)NBu₂; P(O)R′₂, R = R′ = Ph, Bu, R = Ph, R′ = Bu via OH-alkylation of phosphorylmethanols under the phase transfer conditions in the presence of Cs₂CO₃ was developed. Carbamoyl-substituted dimethyl ethers were synthesized via transformation of phosphorylmethanols to phosphorylmethoxyacetic acids, followed by amidation. Symmetrical bisphosphoryl substituted dimethyl ethers were obtained by reaction of phosphorylmethanols with tosyl chloride in the presence of Cs₂CO₃. The synthesis of unsymmetrical substituted ether in the presence of Cs₂CO₃ was complicated by transesterification of phosphorylmethyl tosylate resulting in the formation of symmetrical dimethyl ethers as byproducts.     

Petroleum Absorbers Based on CNSL,Furfural and Lignin – The Effect of the Chemical Similarity on the Interactions among Petroleum and Bioresins

Summary: The petroleum has become our most important source of energy since the mid-1950s. It is due to its high energy density, easy transportability and relative abundance. However, along extraction, storage or transportation of oil, spill accidents may happen. This kind of accident causes severe impacts on the environment, being directly responsible for the destruction of the marine life, which affects the fishing and even tourism industries. Main goal of this work is related to the use of renewable sources aiming to obtain “absorbent green materials”. These materials were synthesized by a typical phenolic resin polycondensation route using cashew nut shell liquid (CNSL) as main phenolic compound. Focused on keep the green characteristic of the materials, furfuraldehyde from hemicellulose was used as aldehyde and the reaction was catalyzed using a small amount of sulfuric acid. Resins were characterized using Optical Microscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy, Infrared Spectroscopy with Fourier Transformed (FTIR) and density tests. In addition, contraction of the oil spilled was studied in presence of resins. Obtained results demonstrated that synthesized resins present a good chemical similarity with oil, which produces a good interaction among resins and oil, making easy the contraction of the oil spot on the water and, consequently, the removal process of oil spilled on water.     

New Possibilities of the Kabachnik–Fields and Pudovik Reactions in the Phthalocyanine-Catalyzed Syntheses of α-Aminophosphonic and α-Aminophosphinic Acid Derivatives

The results of systematic studies demonstrated wide possibilities of the three-component Kabachnik–Fields and two-component Pudovik reactions catalyzed by metal phthalocyanines in the synthesis of structurally diverse α-aminophosphonates. Extension of this catalytic method to the synthesis α-aminophosphinates gave rise to a series of α-amino- and α-hydrazinophosphinates based on biogenic amino acids. A number of α-hydrazinophosphonates showed a good antioxidant activity.

New Data on the Ability of Alumina–Platinum Systems to Catalyze the Methane Aromatization Reaction under Nonoxidizing Conditions

The state and size of the metal on the surface of aluminum oxide and the acidic properties of the support depending on the concentration of supported platinum were studied in this work. The effect of the Pt content of the alumina–platinum catalyst on the activation (chemisorption) of methane was investigated, and the composition of hydrocarbon fragments formed in this case was calculated. The sample most active in a reaction of the joint conversion of methane with n-pentane, which was performed for the production of aromatic hydrocarbons under nonoxidizing conditions, was established. The effect of the temperature of n-pentane supply to the reaction atmosphere was studied for the 0.6%Pt/Al₂O₃ catalyst. The degree of enrichment of the resulting aromatic hydrocarbons and the quantity of incorporated methane activated on the catalyst surface were determined with the use of isotope mass spectrometry.     

On the Effect of Hydrogen Peroxide on the Flow‐Injection Determination of Platinum Based on Luminol Chemiluminescent Reaction

Abstract

A flow‐injection chemiluminescent (CL) method for the determination of trace amounts of Pt(IV) based on the oxidation reaction of luminol in alkaline solution is proposed. The effect of Pt(IV) on the oxidation of luminol was studied in the absence and in the presence of hydrogen peroxide. The positive effect of hydrogen peroxide as well as chloride ions on the sensitivity of measurements was observed. The developed method is characterized by a low limit of detection of Pt (LOD=0.06 ng mL^?1) and good reproducibility (RSD=2.2%). The addition of hydrogen peroxide to the reaction medium resulted in decreasing of platinum detection limit to 0.03 ng mL^?1.

Supramolecular Catalysis of the oxa-Pictet–Spengler Reaction with an Endohedrally Functionalized Self-Assembled Cage Complex

An endohedrally functionalized self-assembled Fe₄L₆ cage complex can catalyze oxa-Pictet—Spengler cyclizations of tryptophols and various aldehyde derivatives, showing strong rate accelerations and size-selectivity. Selective molecular recognition of substrates controls the reactivity, and the cage is capable of binding and activating multiple different species along the multistep reaction pathway. The combination of a functionalized active site, size-selective reactivity, and multistep activation, all from a single host molecule, illustrates the biomimetic nature of the catalysis.
