Extraction chromatographic study of aluminium(III) and mutual separation of aluminium(III), gallium(III), indium(III) and thallium(III) with N-n-octylaniline

A selective method has been developed for extraction chromatographic studies of aluminium(III) and its separation from several metal ions with a chromatographic column containing N-n-octylaniline (liquid anion exchanger) coated on silanized silica gel as a stationary phase. The aluminium(III) was quantitatively extracted with the 0.065 mol/L N-n-octylaninine from 0.013 to 0.05 mol/L sodium succinate at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The extracted metal ion has been recovered by eluting with 25.0 mL of 0.05 mol/L hydrochloric acid and estimated spectrophotometrically with aurintricarboxylic acid. The effects of the acid concentration, the reagent concentration, the flow rate and the eluting agents have been investigated. The log-log plots of distribution coefficient (KdAl(III)) versus N-n-octylaniline concentrationin 0.005 and 0.007 mol/L sodium succinate gave theslopes 0.5 and 0.7 respectively and showed theprobable composition of theextracted species was 1:1 (metal to amine ratio) and the nature of extracted species is [RR''NH2+ Al succinate2-] org. .The extraction of aluminium(III) was carried out in the presence of various ions to ascertain the tolerance limit of individual ions. Aluminium(III) has been separated from multicomponent mixtures, pharmaceutical samples and synthetic mixtures corresponding to alloys. A scheme for mutual separation of aluminium(III), indium(III), gallium(III) and thallium(III) has been developed by using suitable masking agents. The method is fast, accurate and precise.     

Synthesis and characterization of chloro-bis(quinoline-2-carboxylato-κ2N,O)gallium(III)

The preparation and characterization of a new gallium(III) complex with quinoline-2-carboxylate, of formula [Ga(quin-2-c)₂Cl], are described. The crystal structure of the complex has been determined by X-ray diffraction, crystallizing in monoclinic space group P2₁/n with Ga(III) adopting a distorted tetragonal pyramid. Gallium(III) coordinates two quinoline-2-carboxylates and one chloride with a Cl,N₂,O₂ donor set. In the crystal the 2-D supramolecular structure is generated by weak intermolecular interactions, C–H?···?O, C–H?···?Cl, and C–H?···?π. The cytotoxicity assays against several human cancer cell lines (Du145, A549, MCF-7, A498, HT-29) and against mouse fibroblasts (BALB/3T3) revealed moderate antiproliferative activity of the complex.     

Novel gallium(III) phthalocyanine derivatives – Synthesis,photophysics and photochemistry

The syntheses of gallium(III) chloride phthalocyanine {(Cl)GaPc}, octaphenoxyphthalocyaninato gallium(III) chloride {(Cl)GaOPPc} and octakis(4-tert-butylphenoxy)phthalocyaninato gallium(III) chloride {(Cl)GaOTBPPc}; as well as their photophysical and photochemical parameters are hereby presented. Fluorescence quantum yields do not vary much among the three metallophthalocyanines (MPcs); therefore it was concluded that the effect of the substituents is not significant amongst (Cl)GaPc, (Cl)GaOPPc and (Cl)GaOTBPPc. Solvents effects, however, had an effect on the results. Triplet quantum yields were found to be lower in DMSO than in DMF and toluene. The rate constants for fluorescence, intersystem crossing and internal conversion as well as fluorescence and triplet lifetimes are reported. We have also reported photodegradation and singlet oxygen quantum yields. There was no clear correlation between the later parameters. It was, however, established that the three MPcs were stable.     

Synthesis and crystal structures of bis(cyclopentyl)gallium phenoxide dimer and bis (cyclopentyl) gallium naphthoxide dimer

Tricyclopentylgallium reacted with phenol, naphthol respectively to yield phenox-ide (or naphthoxide) of biscyclopentylgallium which have been characterized by elemental analysis, IR, 1H NMR and mass spectrometry. X-ray diffraction analysis of compound 1 indicated that it belongs to the monoclinic system, space groups P21/c, with cell constants 0=9.602(3), 6=14.365(7), c=11.256(4)A, and β=97.54(3)°, Z=2(dimers), R=0.0706. Compound 2 assigned to the triclinic system, space groups P1 with cell constants a=9.392(4), 6=9.928(7), c=11.263(7) A, a=112.48(5), β=104.74(4), γ=99.95(5)°, and Z=l(dimers), R=0.0526. The molecule of 1 or 2 contains an oxygen-bridged coplanar Ga2O2 four-membered ring respectively.     

Remarkable enhancement of aerobic epoxidation reactivity for olefins catalyzed by μ-oxo-bisiron(III) porphyrins under ambient conditions

With μ-oxo dimeric iron(III) porphyrins [(Fe^IIITPP)₂O] as catalyst, isobutylaldehyde as co-reductant, and dioxygen as oxidant, an efficient model system for epoxidation of olefins has been developed. Compared with mono-metalloporphyrins as catalyst, a remarkable enhancement of reactivity was obtained for the present olefin epoxidation system, in which the turnover number (TON) of the catalyst has doubled from about 700 million to 1400 million. Moreover, a plausible mechanism involving both binuclear and mononuclear intermediate has been proposed.     

Ferrocene-containing ligands in the self-assembly of trinuclear μ3-oxocentered carboxylate complexes of chromium(III, III, III)carboxylate complexes of chromium(III, III, III)

New trinuclear μ₃-oxocentered chromium(III, III, III) complexes were obtained by the self-assembly of ferrocenecarboxylate ligands and the Cr₃O fragment. The complexes were investigated by fast-atom bombardment (FAB) mass spectrometry, cyclic voltammetry, and electronic and IR spectroscopy. V. I.

Complexation of Sc(III), Ga(III), In(III) and Ln(III) with Eriochrome Red B

Cyclic linear-sweep voltammetry was used to study the complexation of Sc(III), Ga(III), In(III) and Ln(III) with eriochrome red B (ERB). It was established that all metal ions investigated form complex compounds with azodye having a mole ratio, M(III):ERB = 1:2. The hydroxo forms of M(III) ions, which take part in interaction with ERB, were determined by the Nazarenko method. The stability constants for the formation of these chelates are nearly the same. It was shown that the reduction of the ligand in the complex does not only depend on the peculiarities of complexation, but the processes occurring in pre-electrode layer also influence it.     

Syntheses of (imidazole)pentaamminemetal(III) and μ-imidazolatodecaamminedimetal(III) complexes from trifluoromethanesulfonato precursors

The [M(NH₃)₅(imidH)]³⁺ complex ions (M = Co, Rh or Ir; imidH = imidazole) can be readily prepared by reaction of [M(NH₃)₅(OSO₂CF₃)]²⁺ ions with imidazole in sulfolane. Subsequent reaction of [M′(NH₃)₅(OSO₂CF₃)]²⁺ with [M(NH₃)₅(imidH)]³⁺ in sulfolane in the presence of a non-coordinating base permits synthesis of the binuclear imidazolate-bridged complexes [(NH₃)₅M(imid)M′(NH₃)₅]⁵⁺ (M = M′= Co or Rh; M = Co, M′ = Rh), characterized by spectroscopic, chromatographic and voltammetric methods, and by reactivity.     

Liquid secondary ion mass spectrometry of several β-diketonates of cobalt(III) and chromium(III)

The positive, liquid secondary ion (LSI) mass spectra of six cobalt(III) and three chromium(III) (β-diketonates ligand = L^?) were examined in a 3-nitrobenzyl alcohol matrix. The complexes of both metals yield clean, matrix-free mass spectra, but there are important differences between them. The cobalt compounds show prominent peaks assignable to the molecular ion, CoL ₃ ⁺ , of the monomeric chelates, together with abundant dimeric ions, such as Co₂L ₄ ⁺ and Co₂L ₃ ⁺ ; in contrast, chromium complexes show protonated monomers, CrL₃H⁺, in addition to ionized monomers, CrL ₃ ⁺ , and only minor formation of dimeric ions. The collisionally-activated dissociation (CAD) mass spectrum of Co₂L ₄ ⁺ shows fragmentation to CoL ₂ ⁺ and Co₂L ₃ ⁺ . That of Co₂L ₃ ⁺ shows fragmentation only to dimeric ions, including Co₂L ₂ ⁺ and, for thienyl or phenyl substituted ligands, to Co₂L₂Ar⁺ or Co₂LAr⁺ (Ar = thienyl or phenyl). Neither Co₂L ₄ ⁺ nor Co₂L ₃ ⁺ dissociates to the CoL ₃ ⁺ ion. The LSI mass spectrum of a mixture of two different cobalt chelates shows dimeric ions containing both types of ligand, which can be explained by ion-molecule reactions in the selvedge region. The differing behaviors of the cobalt and chromium complexes is attributed to the relatively greater stability of the +2 oxidation state for cobalt than for chromium.     

Synthesis,Spectra and Crystal Structure of Tetrakis(Triphenylarsine Oxide)Iron(III)-μ-Oxo-Tribromoiron(III) Tetrabromoferrate(III)-Acetonitrile

The oxidation of triphenylarsine with dioxygen in reaction systems containing some iron compound and Br^- anions in acetonitrile leads to the formation of a novel unsymmetrical oxo-bridged diiron(III) complex [(OAsPh₃)₄ Fe(μ-O)FeBr₃]⁺ [FeBr₄]^- ·CH₃CN, where OAsPh₃ is triphenylarsine oxide. The title complex is also formed by direct reaction of iron(III) bromide and OAsPh₃ with dioxygen in acetonitrile solution. The crystal structure of the complex was solved by X-ray diffraction techniques. The cation contains two unsymmetrical species with an Fe-O-Fe bond angle of 159.2(2)°; one iron atom is pentacoordinated by four OAsPh₃ ligands and a γ-oxo ligand which connects the tetracoordinated Fe atom with the FeBr₃O chromophore. Structural parameters and IR spectra of similar complexes are compared and discussed.     

Synthesis and dark toxicity of 5-(4-carboxyphenyl)-10,15,20-tris(phenyl)-porphyrinato chlorido gallium(III) when conjugated to δ-aminolevulinic acid

5-(4-Carboxyphenyl)-10,15,20-tris(phenyl)-porphyrinato chlorido gallium(III) (2) was synthesized and then linked to ethyl ester δ-aminolevulinic acid to form 3. There was no shift in Soret band following conjugation. The fluorescence and singlet oxygen generating behavior of the porphyrins were also investigated. The highest singlet oxygen quantum yield (Φ_Δ) obtained was that of 3. Complexes 2 and 3 as well as metal free 5-(4-carboxyphenyl)-10,15,20-tris(phenyl)-porphyrinato showed no dark toxicity on MCF-7 breast cancer cells.

Excitation-emission-lifetime analysis of multicomponent systems—III. Platinum,palladium and rhodium porphyrins

Excitation-emission-time matrices are obtained on five emitting systems containing platinum, palladium, and rhodium porphyrins. Two-dimensional principal component analysis provides initial guesses for the iterative least-squares refinement in three dimensions. Surprisingly good resolution is obtained in mixture A of two emitting species with spectral overlaps (0.560, 0.282, 0.997) in excitation, emission and time respectively. Excellent spectral resolution is obtained in system B of two emitting species with spectral overlaps (0.569, 0.135, 0.956). In system C, with three emitting species, the overlap between pairs of spectra was sufficiently low that the nine spectra (three species each in excitation, emission and time) are relatively well determined. In systems D and E, higher overlap between spectra produces mixing of the extracted spectra.     

Thermal analysis of rare-earth metal(III) hexa(isothiocyanato)chromate(III) complexes with ɛ-caprolactam

Thermal decomposition of the complexes [LnL₈][Cr(NCS)₆] (Ln = La³⁺, Ce³⁺, Pr³⁺, Nd³⁺, Sm³⁺, Eu³⁺, Gd³⁺, Tb³⁺, Dy³⁺, Ho³⁺, Er³⁺, Tm³⁺, Yb³⁺, Lu³⁺; L = ɛ-C₆H₁₁NO) in air and in inert atmosphere was studied by thermogravimetry, X-ray phase analysis, IR spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry. The compositions of gaseous and solid thermolysis products were established. A reversible thermochromic effect was found on heating to 200–210°C.

Synthesis,characterization, and biocide activity of new dithiocarbamate-based complexes of In(III), Ga(III), and Bi(III) – Part III

In this work, we describe the syntheses, characterization, and antifungal activity of [In{S₂CNR(R¹)}₃] (1), [Ga{S₂CNR(R¹)}₃] (2), [Bi{S₂CNR(R¹)}₃] (3), [In{S₂CNR(R²)}₃] (4), [Ga{S₂CNR(R²)}₃] (5), and [Bi{S₂CNR(R²)}₃] (6) {R?=?Me; R¹?=?CH₂CH(OMe)₂; and R²?=?2-methyl-1,3-dioxolane}. All complexes have been characterized using infrared and ¹H and ¹³C spectroscopy, and the structures of 1, 3, 4, and 6 have been authenticated by X-ray diffraction. The In(III)–dithiocarbamate bonding scheme depicts a distorted octahedral with asymmetric In(III)–S bonds and S–In–S angles. A pentagonal bipyramid is observed for the corresponding Bi(III) complexes with intermolecular Bi–S associations through the lone pair of electrons. The antifungal activities of 1–6 have been screened against Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus parasiticus, and Penicillium citrinum, and the results have been compared with those of nystatin and miconazole nitrate, as control drugs.     

Mechanochemical synthesis of vanadium(III) β-diketonates

The effect of the mechanical treatment conditions and of the nature of reactants on the course of the solid-phase reaction of vanadium(III) chloride with sodium β-diketonates and potassium tetramethylheptanedionate, on the yield of the reaction products, and on some properties of the activated mixtures was examined. A method was developed for the synthesis of vanadium(III) β-diketonates by the solid-phase mechanochemical reaction of vanadium(III) chloride with appropriate sodium or potassium β-diketonate, followed by sublimation or extraction.     

σ-Bonded organometallic derivatives of yttrium(III) and thulium(III): An unusual ligand coupling reaction mediated by thulium(III)

The reaction between LnI₃(THF)_3.5 and 2 equiv. of {(Me₃Si)₂(Me₂MeOSi)C}K (1) in THF at room temperature yields only the mono-substituted products {(Me₃Si)₂(Me₂MeOSi)C}LnI₂(THF)₂ [Ln = Y (5), Tm (6)]; under more forcing conditions decomposition occurs. In contrast, the metathesis reaction between TmI₃(THF)_3.5 and 2 equiv. of the lithium iodide-containing salt {(Me₃Si)₂(Me₂MeOSi)C}K(LiI)_x yields the highly unusual separated ion pair complex [[{(Me₃Si)₂C(SiMe₂)}₂O]TmI₂{Li(THF)₃}₂][[{(Me₃Si)₂C(SiMe₂)}₂O]TmI₂] (8). The dianionic ligand in 8 is derived from the coupling of 2 equiv. of (Me₃Si)₂(Me₂MeOSi)C⁻, accompanied by the formal elimination of Me₂O. The structures of compounds 5, 6, and 8 have been determined by X-ray crystallography; compound 8 crystallizes as an unusual ion pair, the cation and anion of which differ only in the inclusion of 2 equiv. of Li(THF)₃ in the former, bridged to thulium by iodide ions.
