Preconcentration and Separation Procedures for the Spectrochemical Determination of Platinum and Palladium

Low concentrations of Pt and Pd in industrial (µgg^–1 level) and environmental samples (ngg^–1 level) together with the complexity of the matrix causing many interferences during the determination of noble metals often require elaboration and application of pre-concentration/matrix separation procedures before detection of the analyte. Different pre-concentration/matrix separation procedures applied prior to the determination of Pt and Pd by atomic spectrometric techniques are reviewed and critically compared taking into account potential interferences. The methods studied are divided into 5 groups including precipitation and coprecipitation, liquid–liquid extraction, solid phase extraction, electrochemical pre-concentration and biosorption. The main analytical problems occuring during sample preparation and storage are discussed.     

Mononuclear Pt(II) and Pd(II) 1,4-dithiolato complexes. Crystal structures of [Pt((−) DIOS) (PPh3)2] and [Pd(S(CH2) 4S)(Ph2P(CH2) 3PPh2)]. Application in styrene hydroformylation

Addition of 1,4-dithiols to dichloromethane solutions of [PtCl₂(P-P)] (P-P = (PPh₃)₂, Ph₂P(CH₂)₃PPh₂, Phd₂P(CH₂)₄PPh₂; 1,4-dithiols = HS(CH₂)₄SH, (−)DIOSH₂ (2,3-O-isopropylidene-1,4-dithiol-l-threitol), BINASH₂ (1,1′-dinaphthalene-2,2′-dithiol)) in the presence of NEt₃ yielded the mononuclear complexes [Pt(1,4-dithiolato)(P-P)]. Related palladium(II) complexes [Pd(dithiolato)(P-P)] (P-P=Ph₂P(CH₂)₃PPh₂, Ph₂P(CH₂)₄PPh₂; dithiolato = ⁻S(CH₂)₄S⁻, (−)-DIOS) were prepared by the same method. The structure of [Pt((−)DIOS)(PPh₃)₂] and [Pd(S(CH₂)₄S)(Ph₂P(CH₂)₃PPh₂)] complexes was determined by X-ray diffraction methods. Pt—dithiolato—SnC1₂ systems are active in the hydroformylation of styrene. At 100 atm and 125°C [Pt(dithiolate)(P-P)]/SnCl₂ (Pt:Sn = 20) systems provided aldehyde conversion up to 80%.     

The preparation of a new polysiloxane copolymer with glucosylthioureylene groups on the side chains

A new polysiloxane with pendent sugar units was prepared by a two-step method: the preparation of the polysiloxane with amino groups on the side chain and then the copolysiloxane reacted with glucosyl isothiocyanate. All polymers were characterized by FT-IR 1H-NMR, 1H-1H-COSY, 13C-NMR, and DEPT respectively. In the same time, Platinum oxide was found to be a versatile and powerful hydrosilation catalyst in the hydrosilylation reaction of aminotrimethylenepolysiloxanes with heptamethylcyclotetrasiloxane (D₄^H).     

Synthesis and characterization of platinum(II) and (IV) complexes containing hexamethyleneimine ligand: crystal structure of [Pt(hexamethyleneimine)2(cyclobutanedicarboxylato)]·H2O

A series of new platinum(II) and platinum(IV) complexes of the type [Pt^II(HMI)₂X] (where HMI=hexamethyleneimine, X=dichloro, sulfato, 1,1-cyclobutanedicarboxylato [CBDCA], oxalato, methylmalonato, or tatronato) and [Pt^IV(HMI)₂Y₂Cl₂] (where Y=hydroxo, acetato, or chloro) were synthesized and characterized by infrared (IR) spectroscopy, ¹³C and ¹⁹⁵Pt nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and elemental analysis. Among the complexes synthesized, [Pt^II(hexamethyleneimine)₂(1,1-cyclobutanedicarboxylato)]·H₂O was examined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The slightly distorted square planar coordination environment of the platinum metal includes the amino group of the hexamethyleneimine (HMI) molecule and the oxygen atoms of the carboxylato ligand. The cyclobutanedicarboxylic acid (CBDCA) molecule adopts six-member chelating rings with platinum. Hydrogen bonding plays an important part in holding the crystal lattice together.     

Synthese und Struktur der Platin(O)-Verbindungen [(dipb)Pt]2(COD) und (dipb)3Pt2 sowie des clusters Hg6[Pt(dipb)]4 (dipb = (i-Pr)2P(CH2)4P(i-Pr)2)

Synthesis and Structure of the Platinum(0) Compounds [(dipb)Pt]₂(COD) and (dipb)₃Pt₂ and of the Cluster Hg₆[Pt(dipb)]₄ (dipb = (i-Pr)₂P(CH₂)₄P(i-Pr)₂) The reduction of (dipb)PtCl₂ with Na/Hg yields (dipb)Pt as an intermediate which reacts with the amalgam to form the cluster Hg₆[Pt(dipb)]₄ ( 3 ) or decomposes to (dipb)₃Pt₂ ( 2 ) and Pt. In the presence of COD [(dipb)Pt]₂(COD) ( 1 ) is obtained. 1 crystallizes monoclinicly in the space group P2₁/c with a = 1596.1(4), b = 996.5(2), c = 1550.4(3) pm, β = 113.65(2)°, Z = 2. In the dinuclear complex two (dipb)Pt units are bridged by a 1,2-η²-5,6-η² bonded COD ligand. Whereby the C = C double bonds are lengthened to 145 pm. 2 forms triclinic crystals with the space group P1 and a = 1002.0(2), b = 1635.9(3), c = 868.2(2) pm, α = 94.70(2)°, β = 94.45(2)°, σ = 87.95(1)°, Z = 1. In 2 two (dipb)Pt moieties are connected by a μ-dipb ligand in a centrosymmetrical arrangement. 3 is monoclinic with the space group C2/c and a = 1273.8(3), b = 4869.2(6), c = 1660.2(3) pm, β = 95.16(2)°, Z = 4. The clusters Hg₆[Pt(dipb)]₄ have the symmetry C₂. Central unit is a Hg₆ octahedron of which four faces are occupied by Pt(dipb) groups. The bonding in the cluster is discussed on the basis of eight Pt? Hg two center bonds of 267.6 pm and two Pt? Hg? Pt three center bonds with Pt? Hg = 288.0 pm.     

Syntheses, spectroscopic characteristics and thermolytic rearrangements of bis-[(trimethylgermyl)methyl]platinum(II) and bis-[(trimethylstannyl)methyl]platinum(II) complexes

The preparations and spectroscopic characteristics are reported of a series of (trimethylgermyl)methyl- and (trimethylstannyl)methylplatinum(II) complexes with diene and P-donor ancillary ligands, cis-Pt(CH₂GeMe₃)₂L₂ (L = PPh₃ or PPh₂Me; L₂ = dppe or cod) and cis-Pt(CH₂SnMe₃)₂L₂ (L = PPh₃; L₂ =cod). Thermolysis of toluene solutions of cis-Pt(CH₂GeMe₃)₂(PPh₃)₂ leads to cis-Pt(Me)(CH₂GeMe₂CH₂GeMe₃)(PPh₃)₂ via β-alkyl migration, after (non-rate-limiting) phosphine dissociation. Estimated activation parameters (ΔH_{298 K}^‡ = 126 ± 3 kJ mol⁻¹, ΔS^‡ = + 17 ± 7 J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹ and hence Δ_{298 K}^‡ = 121 ± 5 kJ mol⁻¹) suggest that this system is more migration labile than its silicon analogue, primarily as a result of a lower activation enthalpy. While cis-Pt(CH₂GeMe₃)₂(PPh₂Me)₂ reacts similarly but less readily, Pt(CH₂GeMe₃)₂(dppe)₂ is inert at operable temperatures. Thermolysis of Pt(CH₂GeMe₃)₂(cod) generates 1,1,3,3,-tetramethyldi-1,3-germacyclobutane as the major organogermanium product, while from cis-Pt(CH₂SnMe₃)₂(PPh₃)₂, 1,1,3,3-tetramethyldi-1,3-stannacyclobutane predominates. Mechanistic implications are discussed.

The X-ray crystal structures of [Rh(Cp*)(S₂Te)][PF₆]₂ and [PtCl(S₂Te)]PF₆ are described. The results are compared with those obtained from complexes of the related tridentates Te{(CH₂)₃TeR}₂, Se{(CH₂)₃SeMe}₂ and S{(CH₂)₃SR}₂.     

Hydrogenation of nitrobenzenes catalyzed by platinum nanoparticle core-polyaryl ether trisacetic acid ammonium chloride dendrimer shell nanocomposite

Platinum nanoparticle core-polyaryl ether trisacetic acid ammonium chloride dendrimer shell nanocomposites (Pt@G_n-NACl) were prepared and used as catalysts for hydrogenation of nitrobenzenes to anilines with molecular hydrogen under mild conditions. The as-prepared nanoparticles have mean particle size from 2.0 to 5.5 nm, depending on the molar ratio of the metal and the dendrimer. The Pt nanoparticles demonstrate near-monodisperse when the molar ratio of Pt and G₃-NACl is below 30. The interaction among three carboxyl groups terminated at the dendron and the metallic core keeps the Pt nanoparticles from agglomerating. The colloidal solution of Pt nanoparticles stabilized by the dendrimer, in which the molar ratio of Pt/G₃-NACl was less than 60, is stable without precipitation for several weeks. The dendrons attach to the metal core radially, and a substantial fraction of the surface of the metal nanoparticle is unpassivated and available for catalytic reactions. Turnover frequencies for the hydrogenation of nitrobenzenes to anilines change from 353 to 49 h⁻¹ depending on the dendrimer generation and substrates. The dendrimer catalysts are stable during the catalytic hydrogenation process and can be recovered by centrifugation and reused. The results suggest the effectiveness of polyaryl ether trisacetic acid ammonium chloride dendrimer as a stabilizer for the preparation of Pt nanoparticle catalysts.     

Novel platinum-catalysed cascade reactions: cyclisation, ring expansion and 1,2-oxygen shift reaction of a camphor-derived diyne

2,3-Bis(ethynyl)-3-hydroxy-camphorsultam was converted in one step into a novel tetracyclic cyclopentenone derivative, in an unprecedented platinum-catalysed cascade reaction. In the course of this reaction, cyclisation of the alkynes takes place, together with a ring expansion of the camphor skeleton and 1,2-migration of an oxygen atom. The structure of the unexpected product was analysed in detail by one- and two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy, and validated with the help of quantum mechanical calculations (B3LYP/6-31G^∗∗ and B3LYP/6-31+G(2df)) of the IR vibrational frequencies and the ¹H and ¹³C isotropic chemical shifts.
