Dosage spectrophotometrique de differents metaux (Mn,Ce, V,Ni, Fe) au moyen de la formaldoxime

Formaldoxime forms highly coloured complexes (? = 4000–18000) with manganese, cerium, vanadium, nickel and iron in alkaline media. On the basis of a study of reaction mechanisms and of the optimum conditions for the formation of the different complexes, new spectrophotometric methods are described for determination of cerium and iron, as well as improved methods for determination of manganese, nickel and vanadium. The use of formaldoxime for Mn, Ce and V is particularly beneficial in trace analysis and the methods suggested are specific.     

Spectrophotometric determination of the rare earths yttrium and cerium by bromopyrogallol red

A method is described for the spectrophotometric determination of microgram quantities of rare carths, yttrium and cerous cerium ions, using the colour of the complexes formed with bromopyrogallol red. The procedure has been applied to pure solutions containing 10–50 μg of the element.     

The determination of lanthanum,cerium and thorium without separations: The determination of lanthanum and cerium in thorium

A method is proposed for the spectrophotometric determination of small quantities of lanthanum, cerium and thorium in the presence of one another without separations. Cerium is estimated from its absorption peak in the ultraviolet region, thorium with thorin, and the 3 elements together with arsenazo. The lanthanum is calculated after subtraction of the combined absorbances of the arsenazo complexes of the thorium and cerium. The procedure can be readily applied to the determination of microgram amounts of the 2 rare earths in thorium. In this case the majority of the thorium is removed from the solution by solvent extraction with TTA before the estimation of the rare earths. The interference of iron is considered and proposals made for its removal.     

Molecular clips based on diphenylglycoluril and benzocrown ethers: promising complexing agents for the alkali metal cations

The interaction of new molecular clips containing diphenylglycoluril and benzocrown ethers moieties with alkali metals ions was studied. Stability constants were determined by spectrophotometric titrations with chloride salts in methanol. Complex stability and cation binding selectivity were shown to be dependent on the size of the crown ether moiety. The “sandwich-type” 1:1 (clip to cation) complexes and the “classical” 1:2 complexes were found. Their ratio varies depending on the molecular clips nature and on the cation type. It was found an unexpected selectivity of the molecular clip with benzo-15-crown-5 moieties toward K⁺ and Rb⁺ cations. The molecular structure of the clip complex with benzo-15-crown-5 fragments and sodium picrate was determined by X-ray crystallography. The crystal structure and solution-state structure were proven to be similar.     

Enhanced selectivity for actinides over lanthanides with CMPO ligands secured to a C(3)-symmetric triphenoxymethane platform

A ligand system containing three preorganized carbamoylmethylphosphine oxide (CMPO) moieties anchored onto a rigid C(3)-symmetric triphenoxymethane platform has been developed for facile metal complexation and subsequent extraction from aqueous acidic nuclear waste streams. Intended to mimic the 3:1 CMPO-actinide stoichiometry of the extracted species in the TRUEX nuclear waste treatment process, the CMPO arms on this ligand are oriented such that all three CMPO moieties can cooperatively bind a metal ion. Extractions of simulated nuclear waste streams (10(-4) M metal in 1 M nitric acid) with solutions of this ligand in methylene chloride (10(-3) M) reveal a high affinity for the actinide thorium and a very low, but constant, affinity for the lanthanides across the series. Thorium and five lanthanide (lanthanum, cerium, neodymium, europium, and ytterbium) nitrate complexes of this ligand have been synthesized and fully characterized by X-ray crystallography, (1)H and (31)P NMR spectra, and FT-ICR-MS to elucidate the mechanism of this unique actinide selectivity. All six oxygen donors from the three CMPO arms of the ligand and one or two nitrate counterions coordinate these metals to afford 2+ cationic complexes in every case. Because of the large size of the ligand, both the thorium and lanthanide complexes present similarly charged and sized surfaces to the extraction solvents, but the thorium complex is extracted quantitatively over the lanthanide complexes. A possible rationale for this extraction behavior difference is presented and further illustrated by the extraction properties of this ligand system for the alkali metals (lithium, sodium, potassium, rubidium, and cesium) as picrate salts and by the solid- and solution-state structures of its lithium picrate complex.     

Simultaneous determination of lanthanum and cerium in mixed rare earths with p-acetylarsenazo by spectrophotometry

A new method has been developed for the simultaneous spectrophotometric determination of small amounts of lanthanum and cerium in the presence of large amounts of rare earth elements. Lanthanum (III) and cerium (III) were determined spectrophotometrically with p-acetylarsenazo as the color reagent in the chloroacetic acid medium at pH 3.1 by measuring the absorbances of the complexes at 670 nm. The remained rare earths were masked with ethylenediaminetetracetic acid and ethylenediaminetetracetic acid-zinc during the analysis. The optimum conditions for the simultaneous determination of lanthanum and cerium have been defined. The individual content of lanthanum (III) and cerium (III) were determined by varying the amounts of EDTA and EDTA-Zn used in the analysis and solving the simultaneous absorbance equations based on the Beer's law. The proposed method has been successfully applied to the determination of lanthanum and cerium in Longnan mixed rare earth oxides and other heavy rare earths without preliminary separation with satisfactory results. The relative errors of all analytical results of the method were not more than 2% with good precision. The procedure does not require separation of lanthanum, cerium and the other rare earth elements.     

Validated spectrophotometric and fluorimetric methods for analysis of clozapine in tablets and urine

Five spectrophotometric methods and one fluorimetric method have been developed and validated for the analysis of clozapine. The spectrophotometric methods were based on the charge-transfer complexation reaction between clozapine as electron donor and each of iodine as sigma-acceptor or 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinondimethane (TCNQ), 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzo-quinone (DDQ), tetracyanoethane (TCNE), and p-chloranilic acid (pCA) as pi-acceptors. The obtained complexes were measured spectrophotometrically at 365, 843, 460, 414, and 520 nm for iodine, TCNQ, DDQ, TCNE, and pCA, respectively. The fluorimetric method was based on the oxidation of clozapine in the presence of perchloric acid by cerium (IV), and subsequent measuring the fluorescence of the produced cerium (III) fluorimetrically at lambda(excitation) 260 and lambda(emission) 355 nm. Under the optimum assay conditions, Beer's law was obeyed at concentrations ranged from 4-200 microg mL(-1) for the spectrophotometric methods and from 24-250 ng mL(-1) for the fluorimetric method. The limits of detection for the spectrophotometric methods were 1.12, 1.76, 2.22, 0.95, and 13.26 microg mL(-1) for iodine, TCNQ, DDQ, TCNE, and pCA, respectively. The limit of detection for the fluorimetric method was 6.69 ng mL(-1). The proposed methods were successfully applied to the analysis of clozapine in tablets with good recoveries. The fluorimetric method could also be applied to the analysis of clozapine in spiked urine samples. The molar ratios and the reaction mechanisms were investigated.

Hexaaquazinc(II) dipicrate trihydrate

In the crystal structure of the title compound, [Zn(H₂O)₆](C₆H₂N₃O₇)₂·3H₂O, the zinc cation complexes and picrate anions are stacked separately, extending along the b axis. No picrate species ligate to the metal cation. This lack of picrate coordination is atypical among metal picrate salts. We speculate that the size of the metal–aqua complex as related to the intermolecular distance of the picrate anions in the π stack can be a measure of the formation of such separated stacks in the crystal structures of divalent metal complexes with picrate anions. Picrate ions are linked to each other with short intermolecular C...C contacts of 3.223 (6) and 3.194 (6) Å in the stack.     

Thermal studies of some mixed complexes of Mn(II) with picrate and nitrogen donors

The thermal decompositions of nine mixed ligand complexes of Mn(II) containing picrate and mono- or bidentate nitrogen ligands were studied by thermogravimetry. The kinetics of decomposition were examined by using the Coats-Redfern and Horowitz-Metzger equations; the decomposition was in all cases of the first order. The activation energies and other kinetic parameters were computed. The decomposition mechanisms exhibited a similar character for all the studied compounds. It was observed from the TG curves that the complexes decomposed to give six-coordinate intermediates, formed from substitution of the picrate into the inner coordination sphere. These intermediates decomposed to Mn(II) picrate and finally to Mn₂O₃.     

Thermodynamic and Kinetic Parameters of Cerium(IV) Complexes with Some Dicarboxylic Acids

The thermodynamic and kinetic parameters of the cerium(IV) complexes formed in the initial stage of oxidation of dicarboxylic acids (H₂L), like pentanedioic, butanedioic, propanedioic, and ethanedioic acids, by cerium(IV) sulfate were studied by the spectrophotometric and pH-potentiometric methods with the aid of integral kinetic methods at an ionic strength I = 2 mol/L within the pH range of–0.3–1.6 in a sulfuric acid medium and at temperature of 293.15 K. The composition of these complexes, the form of organic ligand existence therein, the thermodynamic parameters of their formation, and the kinetic parameters of their intramolecular redox decomposition were determined. Linear correlations between the found thermodynamic and kinetic parameters of the examined complexes [CeOHL]⁺ were obtained. The rate equation of the redox process occurring in the systems Ce⁴⁺–H₂L was established and the corresponding reaction model was considered.     

Analysis of peracetic acid solutions

In the estimation of peracetic acid in aqueous solution, hydrolysis of the peroxy group must be taken into account. The best volumetric method is an indirect one using cerium(IV) as the oxidant, followed by iodometric titration of the excess of cerium(IV). A spectrophotometric estimation of the hydrogen peroxide present, based on the peroxytitanium(IV) complex is satisfactory if measurements are made at known time intervals and extrapolated to zero time.     

A rapid, selective and sensitive spectrophotometric method for the determination of Ce(III) using some bisazophenyl-beta-diketone derivatives

A rapid, simple, selective and sensitive spectrophotometric method for the determination of cerium(III) using the title azo dyes [1,3-phenylenediamine bisazoacetylacetone (I(a));1,3-phenylenediamine bisazobenzoylacetone (I(b));1,4-phenylenediamine bisazoacetylacetone (I(c)); and 1,4-phenylenediamine bisazobenzoylacetone (I(d))] has been developed in neutral and slightly alkaline (pH 7.00, 7.50, 8.00 and 7.00) media. The 1:1 and 2:1 (M:L) complexes formed exhibit their highest absorbances in 30% (v/v) dioxane solutions, having formation constants (log K) of 4.44, 4.95. 5.63 and 5.22 and 8.51, 8.76, 9.73 and 9.37 respectively. Beer's law is obeyed over the concentration ranges 0.10-2.50, 0.05-3.00, 0.05-3.75 and 0.10-3.50 mug ml(-1) of cerium(III). More accurately, Ringbom optimum concentration ranges are 0.2-2.25, 0.2-2.6, 0.2-3.5 and 0.2-3.3 mug ml(-1) for the complexes of reagents I(a),I(b),I(c) and I(d) respectively. The molar absorptivities, Sandell sensitivities and relative standard deviations were also calculated. The interferences of 50 foreign ions on the determination of cerium(III) were studied. The method allows the determination of cerium(IV) after prior reduction to the trivalent state. The proposed method was used for cerium determination in two different monazite samples and the results were compared with certified values obtained using atomic absorption spectrometry, indicating that the procedure provided accurate and precise results.     

Study of the mixed-metal lanthanummagnesium-purpurin complex: spectrophotometric determination of yttrium and lanthanides

Mixtures of La(III) and Mg(II) form with purpurin (P; 1,2,4-trihydroxyanthraquinone) the mixed-metal complex LaMg₂P₅, which is extracted with methyl isobutyl ketone at pH 7.5. The molar absorptivity of the complex is 6.1 × 10⁴ l.mole⁻¹.cm⁻¹ at 570 nm and its conditional extraction constant 5 × 10¹³ l⁴.mole⁻⁴. Similar complexes have been found to be formed with yttrium, cerium, praseodymium, neodymium and samarium. The use of these complexes for the spectrophotometric determination of yttrium and lanthanides up to 15 μg has been investigated.     

Spectrophotometric determination of cerium with sulphanilic acid

In the presence of other rare earths, cerium(IV) can be determined spectrophotometrically by its reaction with sulphanilic acid with which it produces a red colour. Solutions containing 28-210 ppm of cerium absorb at 495 mmicro according to Beer's law. Other rare earths, except neodymium, and many common ions do not interfere. Strong oxidising agents and neodymium in greater than fifty times the concentration of cerium interfere with this method. The precision depends on the control of pH and time. Cerium alloys have been analysed by this method and the results are compared with those obtained by another spectrophotometric method.     

Evaluation of selectivity-determining factors for membrane electrodes based on naphtho-15-crown-5 by liquid-liquid extraction

Liquid-liquid extractions of sodium and potassium picrates with naphtho-15-crown-5 (N15C5) into 1,2-dichloroethane are studied, in order to clarify the factors governing the high potassium ion selectivity of the N15C5-based membrane electrode. The distribution coefficient of N15C5 between water and 1,2-dichloroethane was 1800 at 15°C. The formation constants of the complexes of N15C5 with the sodium ion and the potassium ion in the aqueous phase were less than unity and there was no remarkable difference between their values. Potassium picrate was mainly extracted into 1,2-dichloroethane by forming the 2:1 N15C5-potassium complex, while sodium picrate was extracted by forming the 1:1 complex. The extraction constants for sodium picrate and potassium picrate were 10^3.86 and 10^7.61, respectively, The high potassium selectivity is concluded to be due to the high extractability of the 2:1 potassium complex.     

EUROPIUM(III) PICRATE COMPLEXES WITH α-(DIETHOXYPHOSPHORYL)-PROPANONE AND DIETHYL-1-METHYLVINYLPHOSPHATE: SYNTHESES,SPECTROSCOPY AND STRUCTURES

Abstract

The Eu(III) picrate complexes with the isomers α-(diethoxyphosphoryl)propanone and diethyl-1-methylvinylphosphate were synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, IR spectroscopy and emission spectroscopy. X-ray single crystal analyses show that in both complexes the picrate anions are bidentate, bonded through the phenolic and one o-nitrogroup oxygens. The neutral ligands are bonded only through their phosphoryl oxygens, resulting in tricapped trigonal prism coordination polyhedra with C_3v symmetry.     

Spectrophotometric determination of cerium(IV) using a phenothiazine derivative.

A simple, rapid and sensitive spectrophotometric method has been proposed for the determination of cerium(IV) using a phenothiazine derivative, propionyl promazine phosphate (PPP). This method is based on the formation of a red-colored radical cation upon a reaction of PPP with cerium(IV) in a phosphoric acid medium having maximum absorbance at 513 nm. Beer's law is valid over the concentration range of 1-11 microg/ml with a Sandell's sensitivity value of 16.14 ng/cm2. The proposed method has been successfully applied to the analysis of magnesium-base cerium alloys and synthetic mixtures corresponding to various cerium alloys. Other phenothiazine derivatives viz. butaperazine dimaleate and propericiazine were also used for the determination of cerium(IV).     

Electrochemical formation of cerium-containing oxide coatings on titanium

Possibility and conditions of obtaining cerium-containing oxide coatings on titanium alloys by microarc oxidation in electrolytes with tartrate and citrate cerium complexes were determined.

Extraction of sodium and potassium perchlorates with benzo-18-crown-6 into various organic solvents. Quantitative elucidation of anion effects on the extraction-ability and -selectivity for Na(+) and K(+)

To investigate quantitatively the anion effect on the extraction-ability and -selectivity of benzo-18-crown-6 (B18C6) for alkali metal ions, the constants for overall extraction into various diluents having low dielectric constants (K(ex)) and aqueous ion-pair formation (K(MLA)) of B18C6-sodium and potassium perchlorate 1:1:1 complexes (MLA) were determined at 25 degrees C. The K(ex) value was analyzed by the four fundamental equilibrium constants. The K(MLA) values were determined by applying our established method to this perchlorate extraction system. The K(M(B18C6)A) value of the perchlorate is much larger for K(+) than for Na(+), and is much smaller than that of the picrate. The K(M(B18C6)A) value makes a minor contribution to the magnitude of K(ex) for the perchlorate system, but a major contribution to that for the picrate one. The distribution behavior of the B18C6 1:1:1 complexes with the alkali metal perchlorates follows the regular solution theory. For the diluent with a high dipole moment, however, the 1:1:1 complexes somewhat undergo the dipole-dipole interaction. B18C6 always shows very high extraction selectivity for KClO(4) over NaClO(4), which is determined mostly by the much greater log/(log K(MLA)) value for K(+) than for Na(+). The extraction-ability and -selectivity of B18C6 for Na(+) and K(+) ions with a perchlorate ion were compared with those with a picrate ion in terms of the fundamental equilibrium constants. The K(+) extraction-selectivity of B18C6 over Na(+) for the perchlorate system is superior to that for the picrate one, which is caused largely by the greater log/(log K(K(B18C6)A))-log/(log K(Na(B18C6)A)) value for the perchlorate than for the picrate. The perchlorate system is recommended for extraction separation of K(+) from Na(+).
