Luminescence and magnetic properties of europium(III) nitrate complex with 1,10-phenanthroline

Luminescent and magnetic properties of the europium nitrate complex with 1,10-phenanthroline synthesized in the traditional way by precipitation from water-ethanol medium and by the method of mechanical activation were investigated. Correlations between luminescent and magnetic properties of the complex compounds were revealed. The higher value of molar magnetic susceptibility ??_m was shown to be typical for the highly dispersed europium compound obtained by mechanochemistry method due to the presence of the paramagnetic ion Eu²⁺.     

Synergistic extraction behavior of samarium(III), europium(III) and dysprosium(III) with 1-nitroso-2-naphthol and 1,10-phenanthroline

The equilibrium extraction behavior of Sm(III), Eu(III) and Dy(III) from aqueous NaClO₄ solutions in the pH range of 4–9 at 0.1 M ionic strength into organic solutions of 1-nitroso-2-naphthol (HA) and 1,10-phenanthroline (Phen) has been studied. The equilibrium concentrations of Eu were assayed through the 344 keV photopeak of the¹⁵²Eu radiotracer used. The concentrations of Sm and Dy were measured by irradiating one mL portions of the organic extract and analyzing the 104 and 108 keV photopeaks of the short-lived neutron activation products,¹⁵⁵Sm and^165mDy, respectively. Quantitative extraction of Eu with 5×10^–2 M HA alone was obtained in the pH range of 6.7–7.8 with n-butanol, 7.4–8.5 with chloroform, 8.0–8.7 with ethyl acetate, 7.7–8.5 with isoamyl alcohol and 6.1–8.0 with methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK). But, Eu was extracted only to a maximum of 78% and 83% in the pH range of 8.3–8.9 and 7.4–8.1 with carbon tetrachloride and xylene, respectively. The extraction of Sm and Dy were found quantitative in the pH range of 6.3–7.0 and 6.6–7.1, respectively, with 5×10^–2 M HA alone in MIBK solutions. The synergistic extraction of Eu was quantitative in the pH range of 6.6–9.8 with chloroform, 7.8–8.9 with ethyl acetate, 7.7–8.5 with isoamyl alcohol and 6.0–9.6 with MIBK when 1×10^–2 M each of HA and Phen were employed. Sm and Dy were quantitatively extracted into MIBK solutions containing 5×10^–2 M each of HA and Phen in the pH range 6.0–7.5 and 6.1–7.5, respectively. The distribution ratios of these lanthanides (Ln) were determined as a function of pH, and HA and Phen concentrations. The analysis of the data suggests that these Ln are extracted as LnA₃ chelates when HA alone is used. In the presence of HA and Phen, both LnA₃(Phen) and LnA₃(Phen)₂ adducts are formed only in the MIBK system while LnA₃(Phen) complexes are the predominant ones in all other solvent systems studied. The extraction constants and the adduct formation constants of these complexes have been calculated.     

钐-邻硝基苯甲酸与1，10-邻菲咯啉配合物的热分解动力学

The complex of Sm₂(o-NBA)₆(PHEN)₂ (o-NBA, o-Nitrobenzoate; PHEN, 1,10-phenanthroline) was prepar-ed and characterized by elemental analysis, IR and UV spectraoscopy. The thermal decomposition mechanism of Sm₂(o-NBA)₆(PHEN)₂ was studied under a static air atmosphere by TG-DTG. The thermal decomposition kinetics of the complex for the first stage was studied under non-isothermal condition. The most probable mechanism functions of the thermal decomposition reaction for the first stage are: G(α)=[-ln(1-α)]^1/2, f(α)=2(1-α)[-ln(1-α)]^1/2. The activation energy E for the first stage is 259.50 kJ·mol^-1, the pre-exponential factor A is 36.19×10¹⁸ min^-1. The lifetime equation at weight-loss of 10% was deduced as lnτ=-36.70+27 572.12/T by isothermal thermogravimetric analysis.     

Iron (III) derivatives of 4,7-dihydroxy-1,10-phenanthroline

The chemistry of the iron (III) derivatives of 4,7-dihydroxy-l,10-phenanthroline has been studied in detail. Oxidation of the intensely red tris(4,7-dihydroxy-l,10-phenanthroline) iron (II) ion results in a grey compound, tris(4,7-dihydroxy-l,10-phenanthroline)iron(III), which is stable below pH 10. Above pH 10 the grey compound is partially converted into an amber compound in which the ratio of phenanthroline to iron is 2:1. The amber compound is the conjugate base of a purple 2:1 compound with pK(a) = 9.77. The visible absorption spectra of the three species at various pH values are reported. For 4,7-dihydroxy-1,10-phenanthroline pK(3), as determined by ultraviolet absorptometry, is 12.62 +/- 0.2.     

Thermal racemization of tris(1,10-phenanthroline) chromium(III)

The thermal racemization of (+)₅₈₉-Cr phen₃(ClO₄)₃ has been examined under a variety of medium conditions. The racemization rate constant in water at 75°C, for example, is 8·5 × 10⁻⁵ sec⁻¹, with an energy and entropy of activation of 23·5 kcal mole⁻¹ and −10·9 e.u., respectively. The effect of acid, hydroxide, and various other added ions on the rate constant has been investigated, and the results compared with other tris-phenanthroline systems. An intramolecular twist process is considered the most probable mechanism of racemization.     

Comparative spectroscopic and electrochemical properties of bis(octakis(dodecylthio)naphthalocyaninato)europium(III) and bis(tetra-tert-butylnaphthalocyaninato)europium(III) complexes

Bis(substituted-2,3-naphthalocyaninato)europium(III) complexes: bis(octakis(dodecylthio)-2,3-naphthalocyaninato)europium(III) (Eu[2,3-Nc(SC12H25)8]2, 1) and bis(tetra-tert-butyl-2,3- naphthalocyaninato)europium(III) (Eu[2,3-Nc(t-Bu)4]2, 2) have been synthesized by cyclic tetramerization of naphthalonitriles with Eu(acac)3.H2O in the presence of 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) in refluxing n-octanol. These compounds were characterized by UV-visible, magnetic circular dichroism (MCD), near-IR, IR, EPR, and mass spectroscopies. The absorption and MCD spectra of 1 showed splitting of the Q band, with peaks at 700 and 784 nm, red shifted from the Q band of 2 at 763 nm. The absorption and MCD spectral band deconvolution calculations of complex 1 gave two A terms in the Q-band region. The A terms are assigned to 2A2-->2E1 transitions. Cyclic voltammograms of 1 and 2 showed reversible oxidation couples at E1/2 = -0.28 V (for 2) and -0.25 V (for 1) vs ferrocenium/ferrocene (Fc+/Fc). The second oxidation exhibited a complicated behavior for both complexes. The reduction couples for 2 were observed at E1/2 = -0.61, -1.64, -1.97, and -2.42 V, and for 1 they were observed at E1/2 = -0.62, -1.60, -1.86, and -2.27 V vs Fc+/Fc. Spectral changes observed on chemical oxidation and reduction of the complexes are presented, and the behaviors of 1 and 2 are compared.     

Colorimetric determination of iron (III) with 1,10-phenanthroline

Summary A new procedure has been developed for the colorimetric determination of iron(III). It consists in the reduction of iron (III) in dilute sulphuric acid medium (0.1 to 1.0 N) with an excess of hypophosphite (1100) at room temperature using one or two drops of 0.1% PdCl₂ solution as catalyst, and then complexing the reduced iron with 1.10-phenanthroline.Iron (III) can also be reduced with phosphite using the PdCl₂ catalyst and boiling for 5 to 10 min on a hot plate. The molar concentration of phosphite is preferably kept 500 times that of ferric ion.

Zusammenfassung Es wurde ein neues Verfahren zur colorimetrischen Bestimmung von Eisen(III) ausgearbeitet. Dabei wird das Eisen in verd. Schwefelsäure (0,1–1,0 n) mit einem Überschuß von Hypophosphit (1100) bei Zimmertemperatur unter Verwendung von ein oder zwei Tropfen 0,1%iger PdCl₂-Lösung als Katalysator reduziert und anschließend das zweiwertige Eisen mit 1,10-Phenanthrolin umgesetzt.Eisen(III) kann auch mit Phosphit reduziert werden, wenn man ebenfalls PdCl₂ als Katalysator verwendet und 5–10 min erhitzt. Die molare Konzentration des Phosphits soll dabei das 500fache von der des Eisens betragen.

     

Oxidation of phenol by tris(1,10-phenanthroline)osmium(III)

Outer-sphere oxidation of phenols is under intense scrutiny because of questions related to the dynamics of proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET). Oxidation by cationic transition-metal complexes in aqueous solution presents special challenges because of the potential participation of the solvent as a proton acceptor and of the buffers as general base catalysts. Here we report that oxidation of phenol by a deficiency of [Os(phen)(3)](3+), as determined by stopped-flow spectrophotometry, yields a unique rate law that is second order in [osmium(III)] and [phenol] and inverse second order in [osmium(II)] and [H(+)]. A mechanism is inferred in which the phenoxyl radical is produced through a rapid PCET preequilibrium, followed by rate-limiting phenoxyl radical coupling. Marcus theory predicts that the rate of electron transfer from phenoxide to osmium(III) is fast enough to account for the rapid PCET preequilibrium, but it does not rule out the intervention of other pathways such as concerted proton-electron transfer or general base catalysis.

Redox properties of bis(1,10-phenanthroline)-(pyridine)ruthenium(II) complexes

The redox properties of a series of [Ru(phen)₂(py)X]ⁿ⁺ cations (X = pyridine, NH₃, Cl, Br, I, CN, SCN, N₃ and NO₂) have been investigated in acctonitrile. Two reversible reduction steps are seen at ? 1.35 and ? 1.6 V vs Ag/AgCl; the invariance of these processes with X-group is indicative of electron addition to molecular orbitals mainly of phenanthroline ligand π^* origin. Irreversible multi-electron reductions follow below ? 2.20 V. The Ru(II)/Ru(III) couple is seen as a reversible wave near + 0.8 V vs the normal hydrogen electrode, from calibration with ferrocene, except in the cases of the NO₂ and SCN complexes, where rapid reactions involving these ligands occur.     

Low Valence States of Metal Chelates. V. Tris(1,10-phenanthroline)cobalt(II) and bis(2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline)cobalt(II) perchlorates

D. C. polarography and cyclic voltammetry were used for investigating the reduction processes of the tris(1,10-phenanthroline)cobalt(II) and bis(2,9-dimethyl-1, 10-phenanthroline)-cobalt(II) perchlorates in 0.1 M solutions of tetraethylammonium perchlorate in acetonitrile. The first complex gave a four-step reduction wave; the first two steps were found to be diffusion controlled and reversible reductions from Co(phen)⁺ to Co(phen)₃⁺ to Co(phen) to Co(phen;) occured. The second complex gave a six-step reduction wave; the first three steps were found to be diffusion controlled and were to be considered as successive reversible reductions from Co(2, 9dm-phen)⁺ to Co(2, 9dmphen), from Co(2, 9dmphen) to Co(2, 9dmphen)₂ and from Co(2, 9dmphen)₂ to Co(2, 9dmphen).
