Chemical species produced in the reaction between ethanedial (glyoxal) and 5-amino-1,10-phenanthroline and their iron(II) complexes: electrochemical studies and analytical applications

The cyclic voltammetric behavior of carbon paste electrodes modified by direct admixing with the products of the reactions between ethanedial (glyoxal) and 5-amino-1,10-phenanthroline at 100°C and that of their iron(II) complexes is reported. The ligand(s) produced in absence of iron(II) are able to complex iron(II) and copper(II) ions reversibly, but other ions such as nickel(II), cobalt(II), cadmium(II) and manganese(II), if complexed, show no electrochemical activity. Admixing with the products of the reaction in the presence of excess of iron(II) ion, because of high insolubility and fast electron exchange, produces surfaces useful for amperometric detection in continuous-flow systems. The voltammetric and amperometric behavior in the presence of HSO^?₃ ions is reported in order to illustrate this application.     

Synthesis,thermal stability and structural characterisation of iron(II) phthalocyanine complex with 4-cyanopyridine

A new complex of bis-axially coordinated iron(II) phthalocyanine by 4-cyanopyridine (4-CNpy) has been obtained in crystalline form as an adduct with two 4-CNpy molecules. The [FePc(4-CNpy)₂] · 2(4-CNpy) crystallises in the monoclinic system, space group P2₁/c with two molecules in the unit cell. The iron(II) coordinates four isoindole nitrogen atoms of the almost planar phthalocyaninato(2−) macroring and axially two nitrogen atoms of 4-CNpy molecules. The coordination polyhedron around the Fe(II) atom approximates to a tetragonal by-pyramid. Four equatorial Fe–N bonds are shorter (1.936(2) Å) than two axial Fe–N bonds (2.027(2) Å). The centrosymmetric FePc(4-CNpy)₂ molecules form alternating sheets parallel to the bc crystallographic plane and solvated 4-CNpy molecules that are anti-parallel oriented by their polar cyano groups are located between the sheets of FePc(4-CNpy)₂ molecules. Ligation of the intermediate-spin iron(II) phthalocyanine by 4-CNpy molecules leads to the low spin Fe(II) complex. The importance of the d(π) → π^∗(Pc) back donation is manifested in the difference between the values of C–N isoindole and C–N azamethine bond lengths of the Pc macrocycle. The thermal analysis of the crystals of [FePc(4-CN)₂] · 2(4-CNpy) shows two steps responsible for a loss of solvated (∼170 °C) and coordinated (∼235 °C) 4-CNpy molecules.     

Regional distribution of manganese,iron, copper,and zinc in the rat brain during development

Manganese (Mn), iron (Fe), copper (Cu), and zinc (Zn) concentrations were determined in the brain regions of normal 1-, 3-, 5-, 7-, 14-, 21-, 42-, 77-, and 147-day-old Wistar rats using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), and their maps were illustrated in color to visually compare the distribution of the elements at various stages of the growth process. Sagittal slices (1-mm thickness) sectioned at the level of the substantia nigra were divided into 18 regions, and the small slice samples were digested in microwave-assisted closed vessels for ICP-MS measurement. Mn, Fe, Cu, and Zn concentrations increased region-specifically with age, and their distributional maps showed some characteristics. These findings are discussed in terms of needs for these trace elements in the normal brain. Among new findings about their brain distribution, it is especially noteworthy that higher concentrations of Mn, Fe, and Zn were observed in the substantia nigra compared with those in neighboring regions. The mapping method in this work is expected to open up possibilities for screening of the in vivo element–element interrelationships among these essential elements.

Electrochemical behaviour of a series of Fe(III) complexes with tetradentate Schiff base ligands

Summary The electrochemical reduction of the Fe(III) complexes with a series of substituted N,N-Ethylenebisacetonimines was investigated by cyclic voltammetry in acetonitrile solution at a platinum electrode. The substituent does not significantly influence the redox properties of the studied complexes. The symmetry of the redox orbital is responsible for the observed behaviour of the complexes.

Der Substituent beeinflußt die Redoxeigenschaften der untersuchten Komplexe nicht signifikant. Das beobachtete Verhalten der Komplexe wird von der Symmetrie des Redoxorbitals bestimmt.

     

Ab initio studies of small AlmFen clusters

The equilibrium geometrical structures of small Al_mFe_n clusters have been determined through ab initio calculation of the cluster total energy at the UB3LYP/Lanl2dz level. For dimers of iron and aluminum, the dissociation energies, the equilibrium atomic distances, and the vibrational frequencies were calculated. The agreement between calculations and experiments is reasonable. The ground stable geometrical structures of Fe₄, FeAl₃, Fe₃Al and Fe₂Al₂ clusters favor three-dimension configurations, but Al₄ tetramers are planar structures. The Al-rich tetramers are more stable than the other two composition tetramers. This is different from that of bulk alloys.     

Tertiary phosphine induced migratory carbonyl insertion in cyclopentadienyl complexes of iron(II)

Cyclopentadienyldicarbonylmethyliron, [CpFe(CO)₂Me] (1), undergoes migratory carbonyl insertion under the influence of isosteric phosphine ligands P(4-FC₆H₄)₃ and P(4-MeC₆H₄)₃. The products of the reaction, [CpFe(CO)(COMe)P(4-FC₆H₄)₃] (2a) and [CpFe(CO)(COMe)P(4-MeC₆H₄)₃] (2b), were characterised by X-ray crystallography. In both structures, the iron atom adopts a pseudo octahedral coordination geometry. Fe-P bond distances are the same at 2.1932(8) Å in 2a and 2b, respectively. Thus, contrary to what was expected, X-ray data could not be used to quantitatively differentiate between the two phosphine ligands in 2a and 2b. Therefore, additional spectroscopic techniques such as IR and NMR were employed. Similarly, the Fe-C bond lengths of the carbonyl (Fe-CO) and acetyl (Fe-COMe) are 1.748(3) and 1.955(3) in 2a, and 1.744(3) and 1.951(3) Å in 2b, respectively.The migratory carbonyl insertion was studied by NMR, IR, and UV-vis spectroscopies to determine the mechanism and the rate law. Results from NMR spectroscopy show that the formation of the product is accompanied by oxidation of the corresponding phosphine ligand. An increase in the reactivity of migratory carbonyl insertion for P(4-MeC₆H₄)₃ was observed when the solvent was changed from CH₂Cl₂ to MeCN. The kinetic data showed that P(4-MeC₆H₄)₃ reacts faster than P(4-FC₆H₄)₃.     

Flow injection on-line ultrasound-assisted extraction of iron in meat samples coupled to a flame atomic absorption spectrometric system

Iron was extracted on-line from solid meat samples by a simple and rapid continuous ultrasound-assisted extraction system (CUES). The CUES is connected to a flow injection manifold, which allows the on-line flame atomic absorption spectrometric determination of iron. A Plakett–Burman design was used for the optimisation of the CUES. The method achieved a total sampling frequency of 11 samples per hour with a relative standard deviation for the complete procedure of 0.4%. The detection limit was 0.6 g g^–1 (dry mass) for a sample amount of 30 mg. Accurate results were obtained by measuring the certified reference materials BCR-186 (pig kidney) and BCR-184 (bovine muscle). The analytical procedure was applied to different real meat samples with satisfactory results.
