Cyclic voltammograms of iron and C-steels in oxalic acid solutions and investigation of the effect of phenyl phthalimide as corrosion inhibitors

Summary The electrochemical behaviour of Fe and C-steel samples in oxalic acid solutions was studied by the use of cyclic voltammetry. Two peaks were observed; the first one was the anodic peak and the second one an unexpected reductive dissolution peak which could be observed in the cathodic branch of cyclic voltammograms of all electrodes studied. The carbon content was found to increase the active dissolution of steels and to decrease their tendency towards passivation. The inhibitive efficiency of phenyl phthalimide derivatives on the active dissolution of Fe and steel samples in 0.1M oxalic acid were investigated.

Cyclische Voltammogramme von Eisen und C-Stählen in Oxalsäurelösungen und der Einfluß von Phenylphthalimiden als Korrosionsinhibitoren

Zusammenfassung Das elektrochemische Verhalten von Eisen und C-Stählen in Oxalsäurelösungen wurde mit Hilfe cyclischer Voltammetrie studiert. Dabei treten zwei Signale auf: das anodische Signal sowie ein unerwartetes reduktives Lösungssignal. Letzteres wurde im kathodischen Zweig der cyclischen Voltammogramme aller untersuchten Elektroden gefunden. Der Kohlenstoffgehalt erhöht die aktive Auflösung von Stählen und erniedrigt ihre Tendenz zur Passivierung. Die Inhibitionseffizienz von Phenylphthalimiden für die aktive Auflösung von Eisen und Stahlproben in 0.1M Oxalsäure wurde untersucht.

     

Indirect detection in reversed-phase liquid chromatography: Ion-pair retention models for ionic compounds on μ Bondapak phenyl

Summary Retention models for ionic compounds in reversed-phase ion-pair chromatographic systems have been developed on the basis of the capacity ratios of solutes and ionic mobile phase components using indirect detection. The binding to the adsorbent, μBondapak Phenyl, has been expressed by ion-pair distribution constants and tested in the retention models by non-linear regression. All the ionic compounds followed adsorption models of the Langmuir type comprising two kinds of binding sites with widely different adsorption capacities and binding constants. The results indicate certain differences between the two sites regarding the binding of cationic and anionic components, respectively.     

SPME-GC-MSD for Determination of Nine Phenyl Compounds in Snow Water in Beijing China

Solid phase microextraction (SPME) then capillary gas chromatography with mass spectrometric detection have been used for determination of nine phenyl compounds in snow water in Beijing City. Headspace extraction with a fiber coated with 100 µm PDMS was used to extract the compounds. Extraction and desorption times were optimized at 8 and 2 min, respectively. Relative standard deviation (RSD) of the analytical method was found to be less than 5%. The linear range was wide and limits of detection were less than 5 ng mL⁻¹ for the nine target analytes. Several phenyl compounds at ng mL⁻¹ levels were detected in snow samples in Beijing, indicating the corresponding air pollution.     

SPE and determination by FAAS of heavy metals using a new synthesized polymer resin in various water and dried vegetables samples

Firstly, poly[phenyl thiadiazole methacrylamide-co-divinylbenzene-co-2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid] (PTMAAm-co-DVB-co-AMPS), a new polymer resin was synthesized. This polymer resin was characterized by elemental analyzer, X-ray diffractometer, scanning electron microscope (SEM) and IR spectrometer. The glass column packed with the synthesized polymer resin was used for solid phase extraction (SPE). At the same time, the analytes were separated and preconcentrated from various water, dried vegetables samples and standard reference material (CRM) with SPE and determined by flame atomic absorption spectrometer (FAAS). The experimental conditions of this method such as pH, flow rates of sample, flow rates of eluent, type / concentration / volume of eluent, sample volume and matrix ions were examined. The limits of detection (µg L^?1) were calculated (3s) 0.9 for Mn(II), 1.4 for Cd(II), Co(II) and Zn(II), 1.5 for Cr(III), 2.2. for Cu(II), 1.9 for Pb(II),1.5 for Ni(II) and 1.9 for Fe(III) (n = 21). The low relative standard deviation, ≤ 2% (n = 11) and preconcentration factor as 75 for analytes were obtained.

Combined use of three forms of chiroptical spectroscopies in the study of the absolute configuration and conformational properties of 3-phenylcyclopentanone, 3-phenylcyclohexanone,and 3-phenylcycloheptanone

Three forms of chiroptical spectroscopies, electronic circular dichroism (ECD), vibrational circular dichroism (VCD), and optical rotatory dispersion (ORD) have been employed to study the configuration and conformational properties of the three molecules: (S)-3-phenylcyclopentanone, (S)-3-phenylcyclohexanone, and (S)-3-phenylcycloheptanone (including (S)-3-phenylcyclopentanone-2,2,5,5-d₄ and (S)-3-phenylcyclohexanone-2,2,6,6-d₄). ECD and VCD spectra in the mid-IR for the three molecular systems are marginally dependent on fine conformational details, as interpreted in terms of standard DFT computational methods, with common spectroscopic features to the three systems clearly identified. Accounting for vibronic coupling mechanisms reproduces the structuring of ECD n→π^∗ band. The ORD curves are quite similar for the three types of molecules, but their interpretation highlights a crucial role played by conformations of the cycloalkanone ring in the case of (S)-3-phenylcycloheptanone. The same conclusions are reached by considering the VCD spectra in the CH-stretching region.     

Catalyst free,regioselective one-pot three-component synthesis of thiazol-2-imine derivatives in ionic liquid

Silver(I)‐Catalyzed Hydroazidation of Ethynyl Carbinols: Synthesis of 2‐Azidoallyl Alcohols

The hydroazidation of alkynes is the most straightforward pathway to synthetically useful vinyl azides. However, a general hydroazidation of alkynes remains elusive. Herein, a chemo‐ and regioselective transformation of ethynyl carbinols into vinyl azides is described. This reaction produces a wide variety of 2‐azidoallyl alcohols with high efficiency and in good to excellent yields. These compounds constitute a new class of densely functionalized synthetic intermediates. Their synthetic potential has been demonstrated by further transformations into NH aziridines. The mechanistic aspects of the reaction will attract the attention of chemists working on alkyne chemistry and silver catalysis. The findings that are described in this paper represent significant advances in the regioselective hydroelementation of alkynes and open a new reaction manifold for exploitation.

Strong antiferromagnetic coupling in doubly N,O oximato-bridged dinuclear copper(II) complexes

The use of di-2-pyridyl ketone oxime, (py)pkoH, and phenyl 2-pyridyl ketone oxime, ppkoH, in copper(II) hexafluoroacetylacetonate chemistry is reported. The reaction of CuCl₂·2H₂O with one and two equivalents of ppkoH and Na(hfac), respectively, in CH₂Cl₂ affords the dinuclear complex [Cu₂(hfac)₂(ppko)₂] (1) in excellent yield. The replacement of ppkoH by (py)pkoH gives the isostructural compound [Cu₂(hfac)₂{(py)pko}₂] (2) in good yield. The Cu^II atoms in both 1 and 2 are doubly bridged by the oximate groups of two η¹:η¹:η¹:μ₂ ppko⁻ and (py)pko⁻ ligands, respectively. The bridging Cu–(R–NO)–Cu′ units are not planar, with the torsion angles being 23.2° (1) and 20.3° (2). A bidentate chelating hfac⁻ ligand completes five-coordination at each square pyramidal metal ion. The hfac⁻-free reaction system CuCl₂·2H₂O/(py)pkoH/NEt₃ (1:2:1) gives instead the mononuclear complex [CuCl{(py)pko}{(py)pkoH}] (3) in very good yield. The Cu^II atom is coordinated by two N,N′-bidentate (py)pko⁻/(py)pkoH chelates and a monodentate chloride anion resulting in a distorted square pyramidal geometry around the metal center. Variable-temperature, solid-state dc magnetic studies were carried out on the representative dinuclear complex 1 in the 2.0–300 K range. The data indicate a very strong antiferromagnetic exchange interaction and a resulting S = 0 ground state, which is well isolated from the S = 1 excited state. The J value of −720 cm⁻¹ was derived from the fitting of the experimental data using the Hamiltonian H = −J(S₁ · S₂).
