Synthesis,structure, and magnetic properties of the cobalt(<Emphasis Type="SmallCaps">II</Emphasis>) 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylate layered coordination polymer

The reaction of Co(NO₃)₂·6H₂O with 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid (H₃btc, trimesic acid) in DMF at 100 °C afforded the coordination polymer [Co₃(dmf)₆(btc)(Hbtc)(H₂btc)]··9H₂O (1) (dmf is N,N′-dimethylformamide, DMF). According to the X-ray diffraction study, the metal-organic coordination polymer is composed of planar honeycomb (6,3) networks, in which the organic benzenetricarboxylate anions and the inorganic Co²⁺ cations play a role of three-connected nodes. Disordered water molecules are intercalated between the layers. A study of the magnetic properties showed the presence of a weak antiferromagnetic coupling between the Co²⁺ ions (S = 3/2).

Ein neues Kupfercobaltboratoxid mit isolierten B2O5-Baugruppen: Cu2Co(B2O5)O

On a New Copper Cobalt Borate Oxide with Isolated B₂O₅ Units: Cu₂Co(B₂O₅)O Single crystals of a new compound with the empirical formula Cu₂CoB₂O₆ were obtained by using a B₂O₃ flux technique. X-ray single crystal technique led to a new structure type. Cu₂CoB₂O₆ crystallizes monoclinic, space group C-P2₁/c (No. 14); a = 3.2250(6); b = 14.847(1); c = 9.1171(6) Å; β = 93.67°; Z = 4. All metal sites are octahedrally coordinated and form a two dimensional framework consisting of edge sharing octahedra ribbons. In addition one observes isolated B₂O₅-units and oxygen which is not coordinated to boron. The far relation to the crystal structure of the mineral Warwickite is illustrated.

An alternative efficient redox couple for the dye-sensitized solar cell system

A series of new cobalt complexes [Co(LLL)(2)X(2)] were synthesized and evaluated as redox mediators for dye-sensitized nanocrystalline TiO(2) solar cells. The structure of the ligand and the nature of the counterions were found to influence the photovoltaic performance. The one-electron-transfer redox mediator [Co(dbbip)(2)](ClO(4))(2) (dbbip = 2,6-bis(1'-butylbenzimidazol-2'-yl)pyridine) performed best among the compounds investigated. Photovoltaic cells incorporating this redox mediator yielded incident photon-to-current conversion efficiencies (IPCE) of up to 80%. The overall yield of light-to-electric power conversion reached 8 % under simulated AM1.5 sunlight at 100 W m(-2) intensity and more than 4% at 1000 W m(-2). Photoelectrodes coated with a 2 microm thick nanoporous layer and a 4 microm thick light-scattering layer, sensitized with a hydrophobic ruthenium dye, gave the best results.     

Spectrophotometry Determination of Cobalt after Extraction of its Ternary Complex with 3-(4-Phenyl-2-Pyridyl)-5,6-Diphenyl-1,2,4-Triazine and Tetraphenylborate into Molten Naphthalene

The reaction of 3-(4-phenyl-2-pyridyl)-5,6-diphenyl-1,2,4-triazine (PPDT) and tetraphenylborate (TPB) with cobalt (II) has been studied to determine the optimum conditions for the extraction and quantitative spectrophotometry determination of this metal. The ternary complex is extracted into molten naphthalene at pH 3.6–7.4. The solid naphthalene containing the cobalt associated complex is separated by filtration and dissolved in acetonitrile. Beer's law is obeyed in the concentration range 8–140 μg cobalt in 10 ml of acetonitrile solution. The molar absorptivity and sensitivity are 4.2×10³ l·mol^?1·cm^?1 and 0.01408 μg/cm², respectively. The other factors such as pH, amounts of reagents and naphthalene, shaking and standing times, and the effect of diverse ions are studied. The method has been applied to the determination of cobalt in iron steel alloys.
