Separation of Iron(III) with Ammonium Thiocyanate‐H2O‐n‐Propyl Alcohol Extraction System in the Presence of Sodium Chloride

The behavior and conditions of liquid‐liquid extraction‐separation of Fe(III) by ammonium thiocyanate‐H₂O‐n‐propyl alcohol system in the presence of NaCl were studied, and the possible reactive mechanism of extraction of Fe(III) was deduced. The study showed that, in the presence of a given amount of NaCl, phases were separated thoroughly between n‐propyl alcohol and water. In the process of phase separation, the complex [Fe(SCN)_n]^(3‐n) formed by NH₄SCN and Fe(III) was quantitatively extracted into the n‐propyl alcohol phase. The extracted Fe(III) exists in the n‐propyl alcohol phase mainly as the forms of Fe(SCN)₂⁺ and Fe(SCN)₃. Also, the relationship between extraction yield of Fe(III) and the amount of NH₄SCN agreed well with the quadratic equation E = 0.54 + 58.14x ? 8.39x² (E and x represent the recovery rate of Fe(III) and the volume (mL) of 0.1 M NH₄SCN respectively). The quadratic R‐Square is 0.9990. With this method, Fe(III) can be completely separated from Co(II), Ni(II), Mn(II), Al(III), Bi(III) and Cd(II) at pH 1.0?2.0. The present method was applied in determining Fe(III) in samples with satisfactory results such as relative standard deviation from 2.06% to 2.89% and recovery rate in the range of 98.4?101.4%.     

A study on the mechanism of dissolution of the cellulose/NH3/NH4SCN system. I

Ammonia/ammonium thiocyanate (NH₃/NH₄SCN) is an excellent swelling agent and solvent for cellulose, even at a high degree of polymerization. Because polymorphic conversion in cellulose has been a long-standing, perplexing, troublesome problem, we have undertaken to study that mechanism. Solid state CP/MAS ¹³C-NMR and X-ray analysis proved to be very useful analytical techniques for the task. It appears that during temperature cycling, specific cellulosic inter- and intramolecular hydrogen-bonds are broken as polymorphic conversion proceeds sequentially from the polymorph I to III, and finally at total solvation to amorphous. This proceeds correspondingly via transformation of the polymorph conformations of CH₂OH from trans-gauche, “tg,” to gauche-trans, “gt,” to gauche-gauche, “gg.” © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Functionalization of Quinazolin‐4‐Ones Part 2#: Reactivity of 2‐Amino‐3, 4, 5, or 6‐Nitrobenzoic Acids with Triphenylphosphine Thiocyanate,Alkyl Isothiocyanates,and Further Derivatization Reactions

2‐amino‐3, 4, 5, or 6‐nitrobenzoic acids were reacted with PPh₃(SCN)₂ and alkyl isothiocyanates to give 5, 6, 7, or 8‐nitro‐2‐thioxo‐3‐substituted quinazolin‐4‐ones, respectively. The position of the nitro group was found to have significant influence on the outcome of the reactions. Similarly, the nature of the substituent at position 8 (NO₂, NH₂, NH(C═O)CH₃) in 8‐substituted‐2‐methylthio quinazolin‐4‐ones was also found to significantly influence their reactivity towards morpholine. A selection of the products were also tested for in vitro antibacterial activity but little activity was observed.     

Dissolution of cellulose in ethylene diamine/salt solvent systems

Investigation of the dissolution of cellulose in Ethylene Diamine (EDA)/Potassium thiocyanate (KSCN) solutions by infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and thermal analysis (DSC) indicated that changes to the solvent during freeze thaw cycling of mixtures was consistent with increased interaction between cellulose and solvent. Thermal transitions in the system, however, occurred at temperatures outside the range used in thermal cycling to promote dissolution. Further exploration of the dissolution and mixing process indicated that mixing was the limiting step in solution formation. The dissolution of two types of cellulose with different molecular weights (Degree of Polymerization (DP)=210 and >1000) was studied using EDA/KSCN solution as the solvent. The solubility and the dissolution rate of cellulose depended on both the solvent composition and cellulose molecular weight. Cellulose could dissolve faster in the solvent with lower salt concentration but the highest cellulose concentration was obtained in the solvent with 30~35% KSCN. Rheological measurements showed that cellulose solutions exhibited viscous solution behavior at low KSCN concentration but primarily elastic behavior at high salt concentration.

Generation of the [NiFe] Hydrogenase Active Site (Sulfur's the One!)

Abstract

Chemical and biochemical methods were used to unravel the unprecedented pathway by which the CN ligands of iron in [NiFe] hydrogenase are introduced. Carbamoyl phosphate is the one carbon precursor of these ligands, and reactions involving a protein cysteinyl sulfur are key for processing this precursor into CN ligands.
