Synthesis, crystal structure and magnetic behavior of two cobalt coordination polymers with 1,2-bis(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)ethane and dicyanamide

Two cobalt(II) coordination polymers formed from bte (bte = 1,2-bis(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)ethane), namely [Co(bte)₂(dca)₂]_n (1) and {[Co(bte)(dca)₂] · H₂O}_n (2), have been synthesized and characterized by elementary analyses, IR, thermogravimetric analyses, X-ray diffraction analyses and magnetic measurements. Compound 1 is a double-chain with Co(II) centers bridged by bte, containing metallocycles of [Co₂(bte)₂] and trans dca as termination ligands. In 2, each Co(II) center is bonded by two bridging bte ligands and four dca as μ-1,5-dca in different orientations in the 3D network.     

Characterization and crystal structures of copper(II), cobalt(II), and nickel(II) complexes with two kinds of piperidine carboxylic acids

Copper(II) complex with -piperidine-3-carboxylic acid ( -Hpipe-3):[Cu( -pipe-3)₂(H₂O)] and cobalt(II) and nickel(II) complexes with piperidine-4-carboxylic acid (Hpipe-4):[M(Hpipe-4)₂(H₂O)₄]Cl₂ (M: Co, Ni) have been prepared and characterized by means of IR and powder diffuse reflection spectra, thermal analysis, and magnetic susceptibility. The crystal structures of these complexes have been determined by X-ray diffraction. The crystal of [Cu( -pipe-3)₂(H₂O)] is orthorhombic with the space group Pbcn. The copper atom is in a square pyramidal geometry, ligated by two carboxylato oxygen atoms, two nitrogen atoms, and a water molecule. One molecule of this complex consists of either -piperidine-3-carboxylic acid or -piperidine-3-carboxylic acid. The crystals of [M(Hpipe-4)₂(H₂O)₄]Cl₂ are monoclinic with space group P2₁/n. In these complexes the metal atom is in an octahedral geometry ligated by two carboxylato oxygen atoms and four water molecules.     

Thermoanalytical study of linkage isomerism in coordination compounds: Part I. Reinvestigation of thermodynamic and thermokinetic of solid state interconversion of nitrito (ONO) and nitro (NO2) isomers of pentaaminecobalt(III) chloride by means of DSC

Solid state thermal isomerization of [Co(NH₃)₅(ONO)]Cl₂ (nitrito isomer) to [Co(NH₃)₅(NO₂)]Cl₂ (nitro isomer) and reverse reaction were investigated by non-isothermal differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and found to be essentially an equilibrium process. The interconversions are accelerated at above 65 °C and reach to equilibrium state at about 155 °C. After establishment of the equilibrium the relative amounts of two isomers at any temperature are governed by Gibbs free energy relationship. The experimental enthalpy changes of isomerization of pure nitrito and nitro solid samples to the equilibrium state are −4.67 (±0.19) and 0.99 (±0.05) kJ mol⁻¹, respectively. From these values, total enthalpy change was calculated as: ΔH°=−5.66(±0.20) kJ mol⁻¹. Using Gibbs free energy relationship, equilibrium constant, total free energy and entropy changes were estimated at 60 °C as: K=7.72(±0.8),  kJ mol⁻¹ and  J K⁻¹ mol⁻¹.An initial rate method has been developed to determine the kinetic parameters of these reactions from non-isothermal DSC data. Both nitro to nitrito and reverse reactions obey first order kinetic law in solid state. Estimated activation parameters of forward and reverse paths at 60 °C are , , and , respectively. The negative activation entropy of both directions support the intramolecular mechanism of isomerization, including formation of a seven coordinate transition state, which formerly suggested based on spectral and X-ray methods.     

Neuartige Mäander mit Co3+ und Au3+: Na4[AuCoO5] = Na8 [(O2/2(CoO)O2AuO2/2)2]

Novel meander with Co³⁺ und Au³⁺: Na₄[AuCoO₅] = Na₈ ¹∞ [(O_2/2 (CoO)O₂AuO_2/2)₂] By “reaction with the wall” we obtained for the first time transparent brown single crystals of Na₄[AuCoO₅] while heating intimate mixtures of Co₃O₄, Na₂O₂, and K₂O₂ (Co: Na: K = 1.00:4.91:2.20; 650°C/44d) in a sealed gold-tube: monoclinic, P2₁/m, with a = 555.69(4) pm, b = 1042.11 (8) pm, c = 555.69(4) pm, β = 117.387(5)°, Z = 2. Characteristic features of Na₄[AuCoO₅] are meandric chains [(O_2/2 (CoO)O₂AuO_2/2)₂]. The structure has been determined by four-circle diffractometer data (Siemens AED 2; Mo? Kα , graphite, 881 I₀(hkl), R = 0.0366, R_w = 0.0316), parameters as given in the text. The Madelung Part of Lattice Energy, MAPLE, Effective Coordination Numbers, these via Mean Fictive Ionic Radii, and Charge-distribution, CHARDI, are calculated and discussed.     

Coordination Chemistry of Acrylamide: 1. Cobalt(II) Chloride Complexes with Acrylamide – Synthesis and Crystal Structures

The molecular structures of blue dichloro‐tetrakis(acrylamide) cobalt(II), [Co{O‐OC(NH₂)CH=CH₂}₄Cl₂] ( 1 ) and pink hexakis(acrylamide)cobalt(II) tetrachlorocobaltate(II), [Co{O‐OC‐(NH₂)CH=CH₂}₆][CoCl₄] ( 2 ), characterized by single X‐ray diffraction, IR spectroscopy and elemental analyses, are described. The coordination of Co^II in 1 involves a tetragonally distorted octahedral structure with four O‐donor atoms of acrylamide in the equatorial positions and two chloride ions in the apical positions. The second complex 2 in ionic form contains Co^II cations surrounded by an octahedral array of O‐coordinated acrylamide ligands, accompanied by a [CoCl₄]^2? anion.     

Titanium as a chemical modifier for the determination of cobalt in marine sediments

The determination of cobalt in marine sediments by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry was studied using no modifier and magnesium and titanium as modifiers. Titanium is one of the major sediment constituents, which widely affects the cobalt determination and it was studied as a chemical modifier since it was the only concomitant that increased the cobalt signal in the concentration range usually found in sediments. The performance of Mg and Ti as chemical modifiers was compared relative to maximum pyrolysis and atomization temperatures, linear calibration range, sensitivity and matrix effects. The pyrolysis curves showed that the analyte could be stabilized up to 1400 °C when either Ti or Mg(NO₃)₂ was present, while only 1000 °C could be used in the absence of a modifier. The optimum atomization temperature was 2500 °C in all cases. Analytical curves were compared using no modifier, 5 μg Ti and 100 μg Mg(NO₃)₂ as modifiers, and the linear range found was up to approximately 4 ng Co whether a modifier was used or not. With Ti as a chemical modifier, analytical curves for cobalt in aqueous solution and in a synthetic matrix resulted in the same sensitivity (m₀=55 pg), whereas the use of Mg led to characteristic mass values of 59 and 72 pg in aqueous solution and in a synthetic matrix, respectively, showing some matrix effect. The detection limits (3σ, n=10) were 0.4 μg g⁻¹ using no modifier and 0.3 μg g⁻¹ with Ti as a modifier in the original matrix. A reference estuarine sediment NIST 1646 with a non-certified content of 10.5 μg g⁻¹ Co was analyzed and the found value of 10.9±2.4 μg g⁻¹, (n=3), using Ti as chemical modifier and calibration against aqueous standards, was in good agreement with the recommended value.

Solid-contact potentiometric sensor for ascorbic acid based on cobalt phthalocyanine nanoparticles as ionophore

A novel solid-contact potentiometric sensor for ascorbic acid based on cobalt phthalocyanine nanoparticles (NanoCoPc) as ionophore was fabricated without any need of auxiliary materials (such as membrane matrix, plasticizer, and other additives). The electrode was prepared by simple drop-coating NanoCoPc colloid on the surface of a glassy carbon electrode. A smooth, bright and blue thin film was strongly attached on the surface of the glassy carbon electrode. The electrode showed high selectivity for ascorbic acid, as compared with many common anions. The influences of the amount of NanoCoPc at the electrode surface and pH on the response characteristics of the electrode were investigated. To overcome the instability of the formal potential of the coated wire electrode, a novel electrochemical pretreatment method was proposed for the potentiometric sensor based on redox mechanism. This resulting sensor demonstrates potentiometric response over a wide linear range of ascorbic acid concentration (5.5 × 10⁻⁷ to 5.5 × 10⁻² M) with a fast response (<15 s), lower detection limit (ca. 1.0 × 10⁻⁷ M), and a long-term stability. Furthermore, microsensors based on different conductors (carbon fiber and Cu wire) were also successfully fabricated for the determination of practical samples.     

Synthesis and properties of the Co7Se8−xSx and Ni7Se8−xSx solid solutions

We report the synthesis and elementary properties of the Co₇Se_8−xS_x (x=0-8) and Ni₇Se_8−xS_x (x=0-7) solid solutions. Both systems form a NiAs-type structure with metal vacancies. In general, the lattice parameters decrease with increasing x, but in the Ni₇Se_8−xS_x system c increases on going from x=5 to 7. Magnetic susceptibility measurements show that all samples exhibit temperature-independent paramagnetism from 25-250 K. Samples within the Co₇Se_8−xS_x system, as well as Ni₇Se₈ and Ni₇SeS₇, were found to be poor metals with resistivities of ∼0.20 and ∼0.06 mΩ cm at 300 K, respectively. The Sommerfeld constant (γ) was determined from specific heat measurements to be ∼13 mJ/mol_CoK² and ∼7 mJ/mol_NiK² for Co₇Se_8−xS_x and Ni₇Se_8−xS_x, respectively.
