In Situ Study of the Surface Oxidation of FeCr Alloys Using Grazing Incidence X‐ray Absorption Spectroscopy (GIXAS)

The surface oxidation of FeCr alloys with 18, 28, and 43 mass‐% Cr was investigated in situ using grazing‐incidence X‐ray absorption spectroscopy (GIXAS) at the chromium and iron K‐edges. Oxidation in air was monitored in situ in the temperature range from 290 K to 680 K. The standard GIXAS data analysis is extended for the treatment of a single layer model in order to estimate the chromium concentrations of the oxide layer and of the near‐interface substrate as well as the oxide layer thickness. XANES analysis shows transitions from b.c.c. Fe to corundum type Fe₂O₃ and from b.c.c. Cr to corundum type Cr₂O₃. The initial oxide layers are 1.1‐1.4 nm thick and contain 60‐90 mass‐% chromium, while the near‐interface substrate is depleted in Cr. During heating, iron oxide growth dominates up to 560‐600 K. Then the chromium oxide layer loses its passivation effect and Cr oxidation sets in.     

Coulometric argentometric determination of microamounts of sulphur in iron and steel after reduction to hydrogen sulphide with iron(II) in strong phosphoric acid medium

A coulometric method was developed for the determination of microamounts of sulphur in iron and steel. Hydrogen sulphide is quantitatively evolved by reduction with iron(II) in strong phosphoric acid medium and is titrated with electrolytically generated silver ion from a silver anode. Microamounts of sulphide (2.96–224.3 μg) in sodium sulphide standard solutions could be determined with an error of only a few percent. Sulphur in a potassium sulphate standard solution is quantitatively reduced to hydrogen sulphide and could be separated from the solution by heating and determined accurately. Trace amounts of sulphur (7–100 μg g^?1) in iron and steels could be determined with a standard deviation of 0.7–2.1 μg g^?1.     

Electrochemical polarization and passivation of iron in acid solutions

Summary The potentiodynamic polarization of the iron electrode in sulphuric acid solutions was studied. The formation of a passivating film on the electrode upon anodic oxidation in sulphuric acid solution depends on the concentration of the acid. Addition of Cl^– ions to sulphuric acid solutions raises the current densities along both the active and passive regions. The difference between the dissolution current in halogen-containing media and solutions devoid of these ions, i. e., the enhancing effect of Cl^– ions, i, varies with the aggressive ions concentration according to log i=a ₅+b ₅ logC _agg. Organic carboxylates enhance the active dissolution of iron through their participation in the dissolution mechanism, while they inhibit pitting corrosion through competitive adsorption with Cl^– ions for adsorption sites on the metal surface.

Elektrochemische Polarisation und Passivierung von Eisen in sauren Lösungen

Zusammenfassung Es wurde die potentiodynamische Polarisierung der Eisenelektrode in schwefelsauren Lösungen untersucht. Die Ausbildung eines passivierenden Films auf der Eisenelektrode nach der anodischen Oxidation hängt von der Säurekonzentration ab. Zugabe von Cl^–-Ionen zur Schwefelsäurelösung erhöht die Stromdichten sowohl in den aktiven als auch den passiven Bereichen. Der entsprechende Lösungsstrom mit bzw. ohne diese Ionen, also der verstärkende Effekt der Cl^–-Ionen variiert mit der Konzentration der aggressiven Ionen: log i=a ₅+b ₅ logc _agg. Organische Carboxylate verstärken die aktive Lösung von Eisen durch ihre Teilnahme am Lösungsmechanismus, andererseits inhibieren sie Narben-Korrosion, da sie mit den Cl^–-Ionen bezüglich möglicher Adsorptionsstellen an der Metalloberfläche konkurrieren.

     

Coupling insertion reactions of diphenylbuta-1, 4-diyne into iron-carbene bonds of [Fe2(CO)7{μ-C(Ph)C(NEt2}]. Syntheses and reactivities of the ferracyclopentadiene [Fe2(CO)6{C(Ph)C(NEt2)C(Ph)C(C2Ph)}] with [Fe2(CO)9]

The diiron ynamine complex [Fe₂(CO)₇{-C(Ph)C(NEt₂)}] (1) reacts with the diphenylbuta-1, 4-diyne, PhCC-CCPh, in refluxing hexane to yield three isomer complexes [Fe₂(CO)₆{C(Ph)C(NEt₂)C(Ph)C(C₂Ph}] (2a), [Fe₂(CO)₆{C(Ph)C(NEt₂)C(C₂Ph)C(Ph)}] (2b), and [Fe₂(CO)₆{NEt₂)C(Ph)C(C₂)C(Ph)}] (2c) All three compounds were identified by their¹H NMR spectra. Compounds2a and2c were characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction analyses. Crystal data: for2a: space group = P2₁/n,a = 17.873(1) Å, = 18.388(6) Å,c = 9.429(3) Å = 91.99(3)°,Z = 4.3751 reflections,R = 0.044; for2c: space group = P2₁/n,a = 40.58(2) å,b = 12.101(9) Å,c = 12.551(5) Å, = 94.29(7)°,Z = 8.4723 reflection,R = 0.076. Complexes2a and2b result from a [2 + 2] cycloaddition between one of the CC triple bonds of the diyne ligand and the FeC carbene bond, whereas2c results from insertion of one of the CC group into the bridging carbene. Addition of [Fe₂(CO)₉] on2a gave two major products, the tripledecker [Fe₃(CO)₈{C(Ph)C(NEt₂)C(C₂Ph)}], (3 and a tetrairon cluster [Fe₄(CO)₁₁{C(Ph)C(NEt₂)C(Ph)C(C₂Ph)}] (4). Both compounds were characterized by single crystal diffraction analyses. Crystal data: for3: space group = P2₁/n,a = 12.039(3) Å,b = 18.046(3) å,c = 15.270(2) Å, = 90.11(2)°,Z = 4, 1430 reflections,R = 0.067; for4 space group = C2/c,a = 18.633(3) Å,b = 21.467(1)_Å,c = 20.742(2) Å, = 115.03(8)°,Z = 8.992 reflections, R = 0.076. Complex4 is based on a spiked triangular cluster with the alkynyl triple bond attached in ₃-parallel mode on the triangular grouping.

Iron(II) and iron(III) complexes containing ethynyl thiophene fragments

The synthesis of the new complexes Cp*(dppe)FeCC2,5-C₄H₂SR (Cp* = 1,2,3,4,5-pentamethylcyclopentadienyl; dppe = 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane; 2a, R = CCH; 2b, R = CCSi(CH₃)₃; 2c, R = CCSi(CH(CH₃)₂)₃; 3a, R = CC2,5-C₄H₂SCCH; 3c, R = CC2,5-C₄H₂SCCSi(CH(CH₃)₂)₃) is described. The ¹³C NMR and FTIR spectroscopic data indicate that the π-back donation from the metal to the carbon rich ligand increases with the size of the organic π-electron systems. The new complexes were also analyzed by CV and the chemical oxidation of 2a and 3c was carried out using 1 equiv of [Cp₂Fe][PF₆]. The corresponding complexes 2a[PF₆] and 3c[PF₆] are thermally stable, but 2a[PF₆] was too reactive to be isolated as a pure compound. The spectroscopic data revealed that the coordination of large organic π-electron systems to the iron nucleus produces only a weak increase of the carbon character of the SOMO for these new organoiron(III) derivatives.     

A sequential injection spectrophotometric method for the determination of penicillamine in pharmaceutical products by complexation with iron(III) in acidic media

A simple, robust and sensitive sequential injection spectrophotometric method for the assay of penicillamine (PA) in pharmaceutical formulations is developed. The method was based on the complex formation when PA is reacted with iron(III) solution in hydrochloric acid media. The deep blue colored PA-iron(III) complex produced is monitored at a maximum wavelength of 600 nm. A five level orthogonal array design coupled to genetic algorithm was employed to obtain the optimum experimental conditions for the determination of PA using peak absorbance as the measure of the system's performance criterion. A linear dynamic range for the determination of PA of 25-300 ppm was obtained with a sampling frequency of 50 h⁻¹ and a relative standard deviation of less than 0.98%. The method was successfully applied to the determination of PA in pharmaceutical formulations.

Catalytic oxidation of alcohols to carbonyl compounds with hydrogen peroxide using dinuclear iron complexes

Oxidation of primary and secondary alcohols has been studied in the presence of [Fe(ind)Cl]₂O (1) and [Fe₂(OMe)₂(PAP)Cl₄] (2) (indH = 1,3-bis(2′-pyridylimino)isoindoline; PAP = 1,4-di(2′-pyridyl)aminophthalazine) as catalysts using hydrogen peroxide as primary oxidant. The complexes were found to be suitable catalysts for the oxidation of alcohols to the corresponding carbonyl compounds in acetone as solvent. The reactivity of the alcohols is in the order primary < secondary < cyclic secondary < aromatic. The reaction mechanism in the case of 1 probable involves an iron-based oxidant, while in the case of 2 a free-radical mechanism is suggested.
