Structure, electrochemistry, and magnetism of the iron(III)-substituted Keggin dimer, [Fe6(OH)3(A-alpha-GeW9O34(OH)3)2]11-

The iron(III)-substituted tungstogermanate [Fe6(OH)3(A-alpha-GeWO34(OH)3)2]11- (1) has been synthesized and characterized by IR, elemental analysis, SQUID magnetometry, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), and electrochemistry. Single-crystal X-ray analysis was carried out on Cs4Na7[Fe6(OH)3(A-alpha-GeW9O34(OH)3)2] x 30H2O, which crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group C2/m, with a = 36.981(4) A, b = 16.5759(15) A, c = 16.0678(15) A, beta = 95.311(3) degrees, and Z = 4. Polyanion 1 consists of two (A-alpha-GeW9O34) Keggin moieties linked via six Fe3+ ions, leading to a double-sandwich structure. The equivalent iron centers represent a trigonal prismatic Fe6 fragment, resulting in virtual D3h symmetry for 1. Electrochemistry studies revealed that 1 is stable in solution from pH 3 to at least pH 7. In pH = 3 media the reduction of the six Fe3+ centers was featured by a single voltammetric wave for most supporting electrolytes used. In that case, whatever the scan rate from 1000 mV x s(-1) down to 2 mV x s(-1), no splitting of the single Fe-wave of 1 was observed. The acetate medium induced a partial splitting of the wave, and this separation is enhanced with increasing pH. Remarkable efficiency of 1 in the electrocatalytic reduction of nitrite, nitric oxide, and nitrate is demonstrated. Magnetic susceptibility (chi) measurements indicate a diamagnetic (S(T) = 0) ground state, with an average J = -12 cm(-1) and g = 2.00. EPR studies confirm that the ground state is indeed diamagnetic, since the EPR signal intensity steadily decreases without any line broadening as the temperature is lowered and becomes unobservable below about 50 K. The signal is a single broad peak at all frequencies (90-370 GHz), ascribed to the thermally accessible excited states. Its g(iso) is 1.992 51, as expected for a high-spin Fe3+-containing species, and supports the chi data analysis.

Behaviour of series piezoelectric sensor in electrolyte solution : Part II. Applications in titrimetry

The applications of a series piezoelectric sensor for end-point determination in frequencimetric titrations, including neutralization, precipitation, complexation and redox titrations, are reported. The method is based on the fact that a series piezoelectric sensor shows a sensitive and selective frequency response to changes in conductivity of solution and can be applied to sample solutions containing large amounts of unreacted foreign electrolytes.     

Self-assembly of PcOC8 and its sandwich lanthanide complex Pr(PcOC8)(2) with oligo(phenylene-ethynylene) molecules

Self-assemblies of octakis(octyloxy) phthalocyanine (PcOC8) and its sandwich lanthanide complex, substituted praseodymium bis(phthalocyanine) (Pr(PcOC8)(2)), with oligo(phenylene-ethynylene) (OPE) have been investigated by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) on a highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) surface. The assemblies were prepared by dissolving the molecules in phenyloctane solution. It was found that both PcOC8 and Pr(PcOC8)(2) can form 4-fold or 6-fold symmetrical adlayers on HOPG. The intramolecular structure of Pr(PcOC8)(2) molecule was revealed by a high-resolution STM image. When OPE molecules are added into phenyloctane solvent, Pr(PcOC8)(2) molecules prefer to form an ordered adlayer at the top of the OPE adlayer, while PcOC8 molecules adsorb on HOPG surface directly and form separated domains with OPE. These results may be helpful to construct surface assemblies and develop molecular electronic devices in the future.     

Synthesis and Characterization of a One-dimensional Chain Polymer {[Cu(4-CPOA)(3-PyOH)2(H2O)2](H2O}n

A novel one-dimensional copper(II) coordination polymer of {[Cu(4-CPOA)(3- PyOH)2(H2O)2]·H2O}n (4-CPOA2- = 4-carboxyphenoxyacetate dianion, 3-PyOH = 3-hydroxypyri- dine) has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, IR spectra and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The complex C19H22N2O10Cu crystallizes in triclinic system, space group P-1with a = 7.672(2), b = 18.490(4), c = 13.271(3) (A), α = 72.81(3), β ＝ 84.64(3), γ = 87.28(3)°, V = 1026.3(4) (A)3, Z = 2, Mr = 501.94, Dc = 1.624 g/cm3, μ = 1.126 mm-1, F(000) = 518, the final R = 0.0580 and wR = 0.1310 for 3364 observed reflections with I > 2σ(I). Each Cu(II) ion is coordinated with two different carboxyl O atoms from two 4-carboxyphenoxyacetate groups, two N atoms from two 3-PyOH ligands and two water molecules, residing in a distorted octahedral environment. Adjacent Cu(II) atoms are linked by bi-monodentate 4-CPOA2- groups into an one-dimensional chain along the b axis. A three-dimensional supramolecular network is constructed by O-H…O hydrogen bonds.     

First structurally characterized palladium(II)-substituted polyoxoanion: [Cs2Na(H2O)10Pd3(alpha-SbIIIW9O33)2]9-

The palladium-substituted tungstoantimonate(III) [Cs(2)Na(H(2)O)(10)Pd(3)(alpha-SbW(9)O(33))(2)](9-) (1) has been synthesized and characterized by IR, elemental analysis, and electrochemistry. Single-crystal X-ray analysis was carried out on Cs(3)KNa(5)[Cs(2)Na(H(2)O)(10)Pd(3)(SbW(9)O(33))(2)].16.5H(2)O, which crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group P2(1)/m, with a = 13.3963(13) A, b = 19.5970(19) A, c = 18.1723(17) A, beta = 100.416(2) degrees, and Z = 2. Polyanion 1 represents the first structurally characterized palladium(II)-substituted polyoxometalate. The title polyoxoanion consists of two (alpha-Sb(III)W(9)O(33)) Keggin moieties linked via three Pd(2+) ions leading to a sandwich-type structure. The palladium centers are equivalent, and they are coordinated in a square-planar fashion. The central belt of 1 contains also one sodium and two cesium ions which reduces the symmetry of the polyanion to C(2)(v)(). Polyanion 1 was synthesized in good yield by reaction of Pd(CH(3)COO)(2) with Na(9)[SbW(9)O(33)] in aqueous acidic medium (pH 4.8). A cyclic voltammetry study of polyanion 1 in a pH 5 medium gives essentially the same characteristics as those observed for the deposition of Pd(0) on the glassy carbon electrode surface from Pd(2+) solutions. The film thickness increases with the number of potential cycles or the duration of potentiostatic electrolysis. The particularly sharp hydrogen sorption/desorption pattern indicates the excellent quality of the Pd(0) deposit from polyanion 1.     

Mn(II)-sodium dodecyl sulphate complex mimic enzyme-catalyzed fluorescence quenching of Pyronine B by hydrogen peroxide

Mn(II)-sodium dodecyl sulphate complex (Mn(II)-SDS) is used to mimic the active group of peroxidase. The catalytic characteristic of this mimic enzyme catalyst in the oxidation reaction of fluorescence substrate, tetraethyldiaminoxanthyl chloride (Pyronine B (PB)), with hydrogen peroxide has been studied. The experimental results show that Mn(II)-SDS complex has similar catalytic activity that of peroxidase. The steady-state catalytic rate depends upon mimic enzyme and substrate concentrations, and the Michaelis-Menten parameters K_m, V_max and K_cat are 7.6×10⁻⁶ M, 7.9×10⁻⁷ M s⁻¹ and 7.9 s⁻¹, respectively. The catalytic activity of Mn(II)-SDS complex is compared with those of HRP and Hemin. Though the catalytic activity of Mn(II)-SDS complex is 15.9% of that of HRP, it can catalyze the oxidation reaction of PB with hydrogen peroxide lead to fluorescence quenching of PB. Under optimum conditions, linear relationship between fluorescence quenching F₀/F and concentration of H₂O₂ is in the range of (0.0-3.6) × 10⁻⁷ M. The detection limit is determined to be 3.0×10⁻⁹ M. By coupling this mimic catalytic reaction with the catalytic reaction of glucose oxidase (GOD), glucose can be detected. Linear relationship between F₀/F and concentration of glucose is in the range of (0.0-1.4) × 10⁻⁷ M. The detection limit is determined to be 4.2×10⁻⁹ M. This method is applied to the determination of glucose in human serum and the results are in good agreement with the phenol-4-aminoantipyrine (4-AAP).

The ruthenium(II)-supported heteropolytungstates [Ru(dmso)3(H2O)-XW11O39]6- (X = Ge, Si)

The novel Ru(II)-supported heteropolytungstates [Ru(dmso)(3)(H(2)O)XW(11)O(39)](6-)(X = Ge, Si) have been synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, multinuclear NMR ((183)W, (13)C, (1)H, (29)Si) and IR spectroscopy, elemental analysis and electrochemistry. The novel polyanion structure consists of a Ru(dmso)(3)(H(2)O) unit linked to a monolacunary [XW(11)O(39)](8-) Keggin fragment via two Ru-O-W bonds resulting in an assembly with C(1) symmetry. Polyanions 1 and 2 were synthesized by reaction of cis-Ru(dmso)(4)Cl(2) with [A-alpha-XW(9)O(34)](10-) in aqueous, acidic medium (pH 4.8). Tungsten-183 NMR of 1 leads to a spectrum with 11 peaks of equal intensity, indicating that the solid-state structure is preserved in solution. Electrochemistry studies revealed that 1 and 2 are stable in solution at least from pH 0 to 7, even in the presence of dioxygen. Their cyclic voltammetry patterns show mainly two two-electron reversible W-waves, those of the Si derivative 2 being located at slightly more negative potentials than those of the Ge derivative 1. The observed stability of 1 and 2 might be attributed to a stabilization of the Ru-center both by the strongly bound dmso ligands and the Keggin moiety. This stabilization drives the redox waves of Ru outside the accessible potential range. However, conditions were found to reveal, at least partially, the redox behavior of Ru in 1 and 2.
