Spectrophotometric determination of Fe(III) with tiron in the presence of cationic surfactant and its application for the determination of iron in Al-alloys and Cu-based alloys

A sensitive Spectrophotometric method for the determination of iron with tiron and a cationic surfactant, cetylpyridinium chloride, at pH 5.6 is reported. The complex is extracted into a chloroform-propan-2-ol (41) mixture and shows maximum absorbance at 520 nm. Beer's law is obeyed in the range 1–14 g/ml with an average molar absorptivity of 15800 l mol^–1 cm^–1. The molar ratio as determined by Job's method for Fe:tiron:CPC is 143. Interferences by various ions are examined. Zr, Ti and Mo interfere heavily. The method is applied for the determination of iron in Al-based and Cu-based alloys, using appropriate masking agents.     

Precipitation and association in a mixture of dodecylammonium chloride and sodium dodecyl sulfate in aqueous medium

The precipitation boundary in aqueous mixtures of dodecylammonium chloride (DDACl) and sodium dodecyl sulfate (NaDS) was determined in the absence and in the presence of 1 mol dm^–3 NaCl. The structure and the composition of the solid phase was characterized by x-ray and chemical analysis, respectively. Activities of Cl^– and Na⁺ ions in the aqueous phase were measured by ion-selective electrodes. As determined by calorimetry, precipitation is an exothermic process.The DDA·DS precipitate was formed in the equimolar region of the precipitation components. Its crystallographic structure is described. In an excess of sodium dodecyl sulfate, the precipitate incorporated substantial amounts of NaDS, as detected by analyses of both solid and liquid phases. X-ray analysis of the dry sample showed peaks of crystalline NaDS. According to the polarization microscopy of wet samples, one may conclude that liquid crystals, containing an excess of NaDS, are incorporated in the solid DDA·DS phase. The same was found in the case of an excess of DDACl; mixed liquid crystals with an excess of DDACl were incorporated in the solid DDA·DS.Interpretation of the solubility boundary points to the presence of DDA⁺·DS^– ion pairs. Formation of these species at low ionic strengths is characterized by the equilibrium constantK _a ⁰ 10⁶. However, in the 1 mol dm^–3 NaCl, the association of DDA⁺ and DS^– ions into pairs is inhibited (K _a ⁰ 0). This finding can be explained in terms of ionic clouds around the charged surfactant heads: if these heads are not in close contact, but separated due to structural effects of the chains, the dense distribution of counterions around them at high ionic strengths may compensate for electrostatic attraction and, thus, inhibit ion-pairing.

Density functional theory study on the structure and vibrational spectra for cyanuric chloride

The molecular structure and vibrational spectra of cyanuric chloride have been investigated by density functional theory (DFT) using standard B3LYP/6-31G* and B3LYP/6-311+G** method and basis set combinations. The DFT force field transformed to natural internal coordinates was corrected by a well-established set of scale factors that were found to be transferable to the title compound. Both the calculated structural parameters and vibrational frequencies are in good agreement with the available experimental data.     

Synthesis of proton‐conducting membranes by the utilization of preirradiation grafting and atom transfer radical polymerization techniques

The atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) of styrene onto poly(vinylidene fluoride)‐graft‐poly(vinylbenzyl chloride) (PVDF‐g‐PVBC) membranes was investigated. Novel membranes were designed for fuel‐cell applications. The benzyl chloride groups in the PVDF‐g‐PVBC membranes functioned as initiators, and a Cu‐based catalytic system with the general formula Cu(n)X_n/ligand [where X is Cl or Br and the ligand is 2,2′‐bipyridyl (bpy)] was employed for the ATRP. In addition, 10 vol % dimethylformamide was added for increased solubility of the catalyst complex in styrene. The system was homogeneous, except for the membrane, when the initiator/copper halide/ligand/monomer molar ratio was 1/1/3/500. As anticipated, the fastest polymerization rate of styrene was observed with the copper bromide/bpy‐based catalyst system. The reaction rate was strongly temperature‐dependent within the studied temperature interval of 100–130 °C. The degree of grafting increased linearly with time, thereby indicating first‐order kinetics, regardless of the polymerization temperature. Furthermore, 120 °C was the maximum polymerization temperature that could be used in practice because the membrane structure was destroyed at higher temperatures. The degree of styrene grafting reached 400% after 3 h at 120 °C. Such a high degree of grafting could not be reached with conventional uncontrolled radiation‐induced grafting methods because of termination reactions. On the basis of an Arrhenius plot, the activation energy for the homogeneous ATRP of styrene was 217 kJ/mol. The prepared membranes became proton‐conducting after sulfonation of the polystyrene grafts. The highest conductivity measured for the prepared membranes was 70 mS/cm, which is comparable to the values normally measured for commercial Nafion membranes. The scanning electron microscopy/energy‐dispersive X‐ray results showed that the membranes had to be grafted through the matrix with both PVBC and polystyrene to become proton‐conducting after sulfonation. In addition, PVDF‐g‐[PVBC‐g‐(styrene‐block‐tert‐butyl acrylate)] membranes were also synthesized by ATRP. © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Condensation of 1-carbamoylmethyl-2,3,3-trimethyl-3H-indolium chloride with aromatic aldehydes

The reaction of 1-carbamoylmethyl-2,3,3-trimethyl-3H-indolium chloride with various aromatic aldehydes in acetic acid and the subsequent workup of the intermediate styrylic derivatives with strong bases yielded 9a-(2-arylethenyl)-1,2,3,9a-tetrahydro-9H-imidazo[1,2-a]indol-2-one derivatives. Condensation of the mentioned salt with salicylaldehyde in acidic or basic medium afforded the derivative of l-carbamoylmethylspiro[benzopyran-2,2-indole]. Alkylation of the latter compound with benzyl chloride in the presence of potassium hydroxide gave 9a-[2-(2-benzyloxyphenyl)ethenyl]-1,2,3,9a-tetrahydro-9H-imidazo[1,2-a]indol-2-one.Department of Organic Chemistry, Kaunas University of Technology, LT-3028 Kaunas, Lithuania Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 6, pp. 761–769, June, 2000.
