Regioselective cyclomanganation of Schiff bases. An unexpected effect of chloro substituents

In this paper we describe the synthesis of new metallacycles by the cyclomanganation reaction of benzyl-benzylidene-amines by using [MnMe(CO)₅] as metallating agent. These ligands can undergo metallation on different aromatic carbon atoms but no important differences have been found in the regioselectivity of the process, that can be related to the electronic effect of the substituents, and in all the cases studied the endo-cyclomanganated complexes of para-substituted imines have been obtained. The corresponding exo-metallacycles were obtained by reaction of [MnMe(CO)₅] on the imine 2,6-Cl₂C₆H₃CHNCH₂Ph and 2,4,6-Me₃C₆H₂CHNCH₂Ph, derived from 2,6-dichlorobenzaldehyde and 2,4,6-trimethylbenzaldehyde, respectively.The results described suggest that the mechanism of the cyclomanganation is similar to that of cyclopalladation and it can be proposed that cyclomanganation takes place by the formation of a four-centered transition state, involving the C-H and Mn-C_acetyl bonds, in the acetyl coordination complex formed in the first step of the reaction.     

On-line enrichment system for manganese determination in water samples using FAAS

An on-line preconcentration procedure for the determination of manganese using flow-injection approach with flame atomic absorption spectrometry as a detection method is described. The proposed method is based on the complexation between Mn(II) and 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl)porphyrin (TCPP). Two approaches were investigated for enrichment of manganese; the formation of Mn-TCPP complex in a solution followed by its retention on a sorbent and the sorption of manganese ions onto the TCPP-modified resin. The best results was obtained for the first approach when 10⁻⁵ M reagent was on-line mixed with an aqueous sample solution and passed through the microcolumn packed with anion-exchange resin Amberlite IRA-904 for 5 min. The sorbed complexes were then eluted with 0.5 ml of 2 M HNO₃. A good precision (2.2-3.1% R.S.D. for 50 μg l⁻¹ manganese) and the enrichment factor of 30 were obtained with the detection limit of 12 μg l⁻¹ for 5 min loading time. The interference of anions and cations has been studied to optimize the conditions and the method was applied for determination of manganese in natural water samples. The results obtained by FI-FAAS and ETAAS (as a reference method) were not statistically different for a significance level of 0.05.

Kinetic spectrophotometric determination of trace manganese (II) with dahlia violet in nonionic microemulsion medium

A new catalytic kinetic spectrophotometric method has been developed for the determination of trace amount of manganese (II) in nonionic microemulsion medium. The method is based on the catalytic effect of manganese (II) on the oxidation of dahlia violet by potassium periodate with nitrilotriacetic acid as an activitor in the presence of nonionic microemulsion. Under the optimum conditions, the calibration graph is linear in the range of 0.0004-0.0056 μg ml⁻¹ of manganese (II) at 580 nm. The detection limit achieved is 3.75×10⁻⁵ μg ml⁻¹. Manganese (II) in foodstuff samples was determined with satisfactory results.     

Neue neutrale und kationische Mono‐Aziridin‐Komplexe des Typs [CpMn(CO)2Az], [CpCr(NO)2Az]+ und [(Ph3P)(CO)4ReAz]+ über CO‐, Hydrid‐ und Chlorid‐Abspaltungsreaktionen

Novel Neutral and Cationic Mono‐Aziridine Complexes of the Type [CpMn(CO)₂Az], [CpCr(NO)₂Az]⁺, and [(Ph₃P)(CO)₄ReAz]⁺ via CO‐, Hydride‐, and Chloride‐Elimination Reactions The monoaziridine complexes 1 — 5 are obtained by three differently induced substitution reactions. The photolytically induced CO substitution reaction of [CpMn(CO)₃] with 2, 2‐dimethylaziridine leads to the neutral N‐coordinate aziridine complex [Cp(CO)₂Mn{$\overline{N(H)CMe₂C}$ H₂}] ( 1 ). The protonation of [(Ph₃P)(CO)₄ReH] with CF₃SO₃H and consecutive treatment with 2, 2‐dimethylaziridine or 2‐ethylaziridine gives the salt‐like aziridine complexes [(Ph₃P)(CO)₄Re{$\overline{N(H)CMe₂C}$ H₂}](CF₃SO₃) ( 2 ) or [(Ph₃P)(CO)₄Re{ H₂}](CF₃SO₃) ( 3 ) by hydride elimination reactions. The like‐wise salt‐like complexes [Cp(NO)₂Cr{$\overline{N(H)CMe₂C}$ H₂}](BF₄) ( 4 ) and [Cp(NO)₂Cr{ H₂}](CF₃SO₃) ( 5 ) are synthesized from [CpCr(NO)₂Cl] by chloride elimination with AgX (X = BF₄, CF₃SO₃) in the presence of 2, 2‐dimethylaziridine or 2‐ethylaziridine, respectively. As a result of X‐ray structure analyses, the metal atoms are trigonal pyramidally ( 1, 4, 5 ) or octahedrally ( 2, 3 , cis‐position) configurated; the intact three‐membered rings coordinate through the distorted tetrahedrally configurated N atoms. All compounds 1‐5 are stable with respect to the directed thermal alkene elimination to give the corresponding nitrene complexes; the IR, ¹H‐ and ¹³C{¹H}‐NMR, and MS spectra are reported and discussed.     

Cathodic stripping voltammetry of trace Mn(II) at carbon film electrodes

A sensitive voltammetric method is presented for the determination of tract levels of Mn (II) using carbon film electrodes fabricated from carbon resistors of 2 Ω. Determination of manganese was made by square wave cathodic stripping voltammetry (CSV), with deposition of manganese as manganese dioxide. Chronoamperometric experiments were made to study MnO₂ nucleation and growth. As a result, it was found to be necessary to perform electrode conditioning at a more positive potential to initiate MnO₂ nucleation. Under optimised conditions the detection limit obtained was 4 nM and the relative standard deviation for eight measurements of 0.22 nM was 5.3%. Interferences from various metal ions on the response CSV of Mn(II) were investigated, namely Cd(II), Ni(II), Cu(II), Cr(VI), Pb(II), Zn(II) and Fe(II). Application to environmental samples was demonstrated.

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.
