Determination of Arsenic as the Oxidate by Ion Chromatography

Abstract

An ion chromatographic procedure is described for the analysis of arsenic as the oxo anion. The procedure involves oxidations of the arsenic to arsenate in an aqueous solution and injection onto an anion separator column, Comparison is made with a standard wet chemical procedure, and data is presented on reproducibility. In addition, there is a brief discussion of the applicability of this method to the determination of other oxo anions.     

Competitive Complexation of Lanthanide Cations by Xylitol and Nitrate Anion in Aqueous Solution: A Microcalorimetric Investigation

The apparent equilibrium constants and enthalpies of complexation of Nd³⁺, Sm³⁺, Eu³⁺, and Gd³⁺ by xylitol in aqueous solutions containing NaNO₃ at an ionic strength of 2.0 mol-kg^–1 have been determined by microcalorimetry at 25°C. Since nitrate anion weakly complexes the lanthanide cations, these values are analyzed in terms of competition between xylitol and NO ₃ ^- The method leads to the apparent equilibrium constants and enthalpies of complexation of the lanthanide cations by NO ₃ ^- at this particular ionic strength. Despite the difficulties encountered in characterizing rather weak associations, the results are, whenever comparison is possible, in good agreement with those obtained by direct microcalorimetry. The advantage of this competition method is that it can be used when the enthalpic effects are too weak and insufficiently concentration dependent for direct microcalorimetric determination. In the present case, it allows us to thermodynamically characterize the formation of SmNO ₃ ²⁺ and EuNO ₃ ²⁺ , processes we have not been able to study directly.

Ab initio studies on reaction H2C=C(OH)Li+CH3 + (CH3 -)

The possible structures and isomerizations of H₂C=C(OH)Li are studied theoretically by the gradient analytical method at RHF/6-31+G level. According to these results, reactions of H₂C=C(OH)Li with CH₃ ⁺ and CH ₃ ^- are investigated thoroughly. When H₂C=C(OH)Li reacts with CH ₃ ⁺ , H_zC=C(OH)Li firstly changes from structure1 to structure4, and then combines with CH₃ ⁺. In this reaction, the configuration of central carbon is retained. When H₂C=C(OH)Li reacts with CH ₃ ^- , structure1 firstly breaks its C-O bond to give contact ion-pair. Then through transition state16 which is similar to structure2, the attack of CH ₃ ^- from the opposite side of^-OH replaces^-OH group and inverts the configuration of carbenoid carbon atom. All the results show that the ambident reactivity of carbenoid has close relationship with the stability of special structures.

Synthesis of Schiff bases and benzylamino derivatives containing [1-B<Subscript>10</Subscript>H<Subscript>9</Subscript>NH<Subscript>3</Subscript>]<Superscript>−</Superscript> anion

Reactions of an amino derivative of the closo-decaborate anion [1-B₁₀H₉NH₃]^– with aromatic aldehydes afforded Schiff bases [1-B₁₀H₉NH=CHAr]^– (Ar=Ph, C₆H₄-2-OMe, or C₆H₄-4-NHCOMe). The reduction of the latter with sodium borohydride gave the corresponding benzylamino derivatives [1-B₁₀H₉NH₂CH₂Ar]^–.Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Study of the Properties of Electrodeposited Polypyrrole Films

Experimental and theoretical methods have been used for characterization of the properties of polypyrrole films. The AFM studies show that the morphology of polypyrrole (PPy) films on polycrystalline gold electrodes at the first stages of synthesis depends on the structure of the metal surface. It was established that mobility of anions depends remarkably on the rate of electrodeposition of the polymer film. If PPy film was deposited at relatively low current density, mobility of ClO^- ₄ anion was not high enough to guarantee electroneutrality during redox cycling and cations take part in this process especially when Li⁺ cations were replaced by more mobile ⁺ cations. Semiempirical (AM1 and PM3) quantum-chemical methods were used for theoretical studies. It was established that different size and charge of the anions together with the variation in doping levels give rise to a different optimal conformation of oligopyrrole cations which, in turn, define the resulting polymer to be either all-anti (common linear chains) or all-syn (formation of helical structures) or a combination of the two.

Molecular Ionics of Anion Receptor Molecules: A Microcalorimetric Study

The coordination of divalent and monovalent inorganic anions to synthetic polyammonium receptors is investigated in aqueous solution around neutral pH by titration calorimetry and NMR spectroscopy. High-affinity 1:1 complexes are formed by a pyrrole type cryptand (1) with sulfate and phosphate, characterized by association constants of almost 107 M^-1. Affinities close to 105 M^-1 are found for polyazacryptands (3 and 4) exhibiting F^-/Cl^- selectivity. The binding affinities and the anion selectivities are mainly caused by the charges of ligands and anions, which is discussed on the basis of simple calculations of the electrostatic contribution to the anion/receptor interactions. The binding of all investigated anions is exothermic at 298.2 K. The contribution of the large negative ΔH values to the free energy of anion binding of the pyrrole type ligand is partially compensated by marked negative ΔS values. These unfavorable entropic contributions are attributed to the additional inclusion of water molecules in the anion/receptor complexes. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Anion exchange in trimethyl‐ and triphenyltin complexes with chromogenic ligands: solution equilibria and colorimetric anion sensing

A series of organotin(IV) compounds R₃Sn(A) where R = Me or Ph and A is a chromogenic nitrophenolate ligand were prepared and studied as possible colorimetric sensors for anions (F⁻, Cl⁻, Br⁻, AcO⁻, H₂PO₄⁻). Equilibrium constants for a complete set of reactions between R₃Sn(A) with A = 2‐amino‐4‐nitrophenolate (ANP) or 4‐nitrophenolate and anions (X⁻) involving formation of complexes R₃Sn(A)(X)⁻ and substitution products R₃Sn(X) and R₃Sn(X)₂⁻ were determined by UV‐vis and ¹H NMR titrations in MeCN and DMSO. The binding selectivity was AcO⁻ > F⁻ > H₂PO₄⁻ > Cl⁻ ≫ Br⁻ in both solvents and both for R = Me and Ph with higher affinity for R = Ph. Compounds with A = ANP were found to have the optimum properties as anion sensors allowing optical detection of F⁻, AcO⁻ and H₂PO₄⁻ anions in the 5–100 µM range by appearance of an intense absorption band of free ANP resulting from its substitution with the analyte. Selectivity and affinity of anion interactions with R₃Sn(ANP) are similar to those for thiourea receptors, but the organotin receptor produces a much larger naked eye detected optical signal, operates equally well in nonpolar and polar solvents and tolerates the presence of up to 20% vol. of water in DMSO.
