The utilization of copper(II) phosphate for the anodic stripping voltammetric assay of alendronate sodium, desferrioxamine mesylate and lisinopril

A sensitive differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetric method is described for the determination of alendronate sodium, desferrioxamine mesylate and lisinopril. The procedure is based on the formation of labile drug-copper(II) complex when shaking with copper(II) phosphate suspension. The voltammetric peaks, which correspond to the reduction of the copper(II) moiety of the formed complexes are obtained at −153, −74 and −111 mV, respectively. The different experimental parameters have been carefully studied. The method has been fully validated. The limit of detection was as low as 8.6 ng ml⁻¹. The method has been applied successfully for the determination of the drugs in plasma and in their pharmaceutical preparations. The obtained results were compared statistically with those obtained from a published method, in case of AS, or the official USP methods, for the other two drugs.     

(Dibenzyl sulfoxide‐κO)bis(1,3‐diphenylpropane‐1,3‐dionato‐κ2O,O′)dioxouranium(VI)

In the title compound, [UO₂(C₁₅H₁₁O₂)₂(C₁₄H₁₄OS)], the U^VI atom is coordinated by seven O atoms in a distorted pentagonal–bipyramidal geometry. Both di­phenyl­propane‐1,3‐dionate systems are nearly planar. The sulfoxide moiety is in a distorted tetrahedral geometry, while its two aromatic rings are nearly orthogonal to one another. The crystal packing is stabilized by two bifurcated hydrogen‐bonding interactions involving both uranyl O atoms.     

1,1′‐Di­acetyl‐3‐hydroxy‐2,2′,3,3′‐tetra­hydro‐3,3′‐bi(1H‐indole)‐2,2′‐dione

In the title compound, C₂₀H₁₆N₂O₅, both of the 1‐acetyl­isatin (1‐acetyl‐1H‐indole‐2,3‐dione) moieties are planar and form a dihedral angle of 74.1 (1)°. Weak intermolecular hydrogen bonds and C—H?π interactions stabilize the packing in the crystal.     

Solvent,ligand, pressure,and temperature effects on charge-transfer spectra of tetracarbonylmolybdenum(0) diimine complexes

Summary The solvent, pressure, and temperature-dependence of the lowest energy metal-to-ligand charge-transfer absorption bands are reported for a series of [Mo(CO)₄(LL)], compounds where LL is a bidentate diimine ligand containing the chelating fragment –N=CRCR=N–, and one terdentate ligand analogue [Mo(CO)₃(LLL)]. The effects of ligand nature on these dependences are discussed, as are their interrelations and their connection with solvent properties such as polarity.     

A mixed‐valence manganese(III)–manganese(IV) di‐μ‐oxo complex, [(cyclam)MnO]2(ClO4)2(NO3)

The title dinuclear di‐μ‐oxo‐bis­[(1,4,8,11‐tetra­aza­cyclo­tetra­decane‐κ⁴N)­manganese(III,IV)] diperchlorate nitrate complex, [Mn₂O₂(C₁₀H₂₄N₄)₂](ClO₄)₂(NO₃) or [(cyclam)Mn­O]₂(ClO₄)₂(NO₃), was self‐assembled by the reaction of Mn²⁺ with 1,4,8,11‐tetra­aza­cyclo­tetra­decane in aqueous media. The structure of this compound consists of a centrosymmetric binuclear [(cyclam)MnO]³⁺ unit, two perchlorate anions and one nitrate anion. While the low‐temperature electron paramagnetic resonance spectra show a typical 16‐line signal for a di‐μ‐oxo Mn^III/Mn^IV dimer, the magnetic susceptibility studies also confirm a characteristic antiferromagnetic coupling between the electronic spins of the Mn^IV and Mn^III ions.
