A Two‐Coordinate Cobalt(II) Imido Complex with NHC Ligation: Synthesis,Structure, and Reactivity

The synthesis, structural characterization, and reactivity of the first two‐coordinate cobalt complex featuring a metal–element multiple bond [(IPr)Co(NDmp)] ( 4 ; IPr=1,3‐bis(2′,6′‐diisopropylphenyl)imidazole‐2‐ylidene; Dmp=2,6‐dimesitylphenyl) is reported. Complex 4 was prepared from the reaction of [(IPr)Co(η²‐vtms)₂] (vtms=vinyltrimethylsilane) with DmpN₃. An X‐ray diffraction study revealed its linear C Co N core and a short Co N distance (1.691(6) Å). Spectroscopic characterization and calculation studies indicated the high‐spin nature of 4 and the multiple‐bond character of the Co N bond. Complex 4 effected group‐transfer reactions to CO and ethylene to form isocyanide and imine, respectively. It also facilitated E H (E=C, Si) σ‐bond activation of terminal alkyne and hydrosilanes to produce the corresponding cobalt(II) alkynyl and cobalt(II) hydride complexes as 1,2‐addition products.     

Electrochemical determination of pyrophosphate at nanomolar levels using a gold electrode covered with a cysteine nanofilm and based on competitive coordination of Cu(II) ion to cysteine and pyrophosphate

We are presenting an electrochemical method for the determination of pyrophosphate ions (PPi) that is based on the competitive coordination of Cu(II) ion to a nanofilm of cysteine (Cys) and dissolved PPi. Cys was immobilized on the surface of a gold electrode by self-assembly. The Cys-modified gold electrode was loaded with Cu(II) ion which is released from the surface on addition of a sample containing PPi. The sensor shows an unprecedented electrochemical response to PPi, and the reduction peak currents is linearly related to the logarithm of the concentration of PPi in the 100 nM to 10 mM range (with an R² or 0.982). The limit of detection is ~10 nM which is lower than the detection limits hitherto reported for PPi. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP), adenosine diphosphate (ADP), adenosine monophosphate (AMP) and common anions give a much weaker response. The method demonstrated here is simple, effective, highly sensitive, hardly interfered, and does not require the addition of a reagent. The method was applied to the determination of PPi in (spiked) serum samples.

Kinetics and Modeling of Vinyl Acetate Graft Polymerization from Poly(ethylene glycol)

A kinetic model for the graft polymerization of VAc from PEG was developed using the method of moments. Experiments were carried out to verify the model. The effect of various parameters, such as initiator concentration, temperature, and PEG molecular weight on the polymerization kinetics was examined. Polymerization rate, grafting efficiency, graft copolymer molecular weight, and PEG grafted ratio were measured. The model was in good agreement with the experimental data. No gel effect was observed at the studied PEG/VAc weight ratio of 1:1. The chain transfer constant to PEG was correlated to be . The model was also applied in a semi‐batch reaction and compared with the experimental results.

     

Stochastic bounded consensus tracking of leader–follower multi-agent systems with measurement noises based on sampled-data with small sampling delay

This paper is concerned with the stochastic bounded consensus tracking problems of leader–follower multi-agent systems, where the control input of an agent can only use the information measured at the sampling instants from its neighborhood agents or a virtual leader with a time-varying reference state, the measurements are corrupted by random noises, and the signal sampling process induces a small sampling delay. The augmented matrix method, probability limit theory and algebra graph theory are employed to derive the necessary and sufficient conditions guaranteeing mean square bounded consensus tracking. It turns out that the convergence of the proposed protocol simultaneously depends on the constant feedback gains, the network topology, the sampling period and the sampling delay, and that the static consensus tracking error depends on not only the above-mentioned factors, but also the noise intensity, the number of agents and the upper bound of the changing rate of the virtual leader’s state. The obtained results cover no sampling delay as a special case. Simulations are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the theoretical results.     

Speciation of Fe(III) and Fe(II) in water samples by liquid–liquid extraction combined with low-temperature electrothermal vaporization (ETV) ICP-AES

The use of 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-benzoylpyrazolone (PMBP) as extractant for separation of Fe(III) and Fe(II) and low-temperature vaporization of the Fe(III)–PMBP chelate into ICP-AES for their speciation analysis was investigated. The factors affecting the formation of Fe(PMBP)₃ chelate and its vaporization behavior were investigated in detail. PMBP was used not only as the extractant for the separation of Fe(III) and Fe(II) but also as the chemical modifier for the low-temperature ETV-ICP-AES determination of iron. Under the optimized conditions, the detection limit for iron(III) and iron(II) are both 3.2?ng/mL, with relative standard deviations of 3.9 and 4.5%, respectively. The proposed method was applied to the determination of trace iron in biological standard reference materials and the species in East Lake water samples, and the results obtained were satisfactory.
