Synthesis, Crystal and Magnetic Structures of the Sodium Ferrate (IV) Na4FeO4 Studied by Neutron Diffraction and Mössbauer Techniques

The alkali sodium ferrate (IV) Na₄FeO₄ has been prepared by solid-state reaction of sodium peroxide Na₂O₂ and wustite Fe_1−xO, in a molar ratio Na/Fe=4, at 400°C under vacuum. Powder X-ray and neutron diffraction studies indicate that Na₄FeO₄ crystallizes in the triclinic system P−1 with the cell parameters= a=8.4810(2) Å, b=5.7688(1) Å, c=6.5622(1) Å, α=124.662(2)°, β=98.848(2)°, γ=101.761(2)° and Z=2. Na₄FeO₄ is isotypic with the other known phases Na₄MO₄ (M=Ti, Cr, Mn, Co and Ge, Sn, Pb). The solid solution Na₄Fe_xCo_1−xO₄ exists for x=0-1 and we have followed the evolution of the cell parameters with x to determine the lattice parameters of the triclinic cell of Na₄FeO₄. A three-dimensional network of isolated FeO₄ tetrahedra connected by Na atoms characterizes the structure. This compound is antiferromagnetic below T_N=16 K. At 2 K the magnetic cell is twice the nuclear cell and the magnetic structure is collinear (μ_Fe=3.36(12) μ_B at 2 K). This black compound is highly hygroscopic. In water or on contact with the atmospheric moisture it is disproportionated in Fe³⁺ and Fe⁶⁺. The Mössbauer spectra of Na₄FeO₄ are fitted with one doublet (δ=− 0.22 mm/s, Δ=0.41 mm/s at 295 K) in the paramagnetic state and with a sextet at 8K. These parameters characterize Fe⁴⁺ high-spin in tetrahedral FeO₄ coordination.     

Synthesis and Characterization of Methylzinc Tri(tert‐butyl)silylphosphanide as well as Related Sodium and Potassium Phosphanylzincates

The reaction of dimethylzinc and tri(tert‐butyl)silylphosphane in toluene yielded dimeric methylzinc tri(tert‐butyl)silylphosphanide ( 1 ) which crystallized tetrameric. Compound 1 was deprotonated with sodium in DME and the solvent‐separated dimeric ion pair [(dme)₃Na]⁺ [(dme)Na(MeZn)₂(μ‐PSitBu₃)₂]^? ( 2 ) was isolated. The reaction of 1 in THF with two equivalents of potassium and one equivalent of tri(tert‐butyl)silylphosphane gave dimeric [{tBu₃Si(H)P}{(thf)₂K}₂(MeZn)(PSitBu₃)]₂ ( 3 ). Both of these phosphanylzincates contain Zn₂P₂ cycles with Zn‐P bond lengths of approximately 237 pm, whereas in 1 larger Zn‐P bond lengths of 248.5 pm were found due to the larger coordination numbers of the phosphorus and zinc atoms.     

Prescriptions and Ingredients for Controlled CC Bond Formation with Organometallic Reagents. New synthetic methods (5)

Merits and drawbacks of known carbon-carbon linking procedures are outlined. Two novel methods are discussed in some detail: the copper-catalyzed alkylation of Grignard reagents and reactions with allylpotassium compounds. Both methods provide a very efficient access to saturated, unsaturated, as well as functionally substituted hydrocarbons and moreover permit an astonishing degree of regio- and stereoselective control of olefin synthesis.     

纤维素基磁性聚偕氨肟树脂吸附Mn（Ⅶ）

用酸处理的纤维素基磁性聚偕氨肟树脂（AMAO）在溶液中吸附KMnO4，发生氧化还原反应的几率在2％以下；用碱处理的树脂（BMAO）作吸附剂，KMnO4还原为Mn（OH）4的比例剧增，达到或超过10％，并且与溶液的pH有关。但是，Mn（Ⅶ）被还原为Mn（Ⅳ）的量基本上不受KMnO4起始浓度、吸附剂添加量和吸附时间变化的影响。BMAO树脂吸附KMnO4的量是树脂偕氨肟基含量的5倍以上。超当量吸附现象反映了物理吸附的本质。     

氟化钾负载改性法制备碱性NaY沸石

氟化钾（ＫＦ）可以高度分散于八面沸石表面，通过与ＮａＹ沸石表面发生相互作用产生ＫＯＨ类碱物种，使ＫＦ／ＮａＹ具有类似于ＫＯＨ／ＮａＹ的碱性，在异丙醇探针反应的碱性催化活性也与ＫＯＨ／ＮａＹ相似，由于沸石中的Ｓｉ组分容易与ＫＯＨ生成强度低的碱性化合物，妨碍ＫＦ或ＫＯＨ负载过程中强碱位的生成，因此ＫＦ／ＮａＹ的碱强度介于ＫＦ／ＳｉＯ２和ＫＦ／γ－Ａｌ２Ｏ３之间。     

Synthesis, structure and properties of delocalized transition metal chelates: Diazoketiminato chelates of Co(III) and Pt(II)

The reactions of HL 1 [where HL is 1N-(2-pyridyl-2-methyl)-2-arylazoaniline and is formulated as ArN = NC₆H₄N(H)(CH₂C₅H₄N); Ar = C₆H₅ (for HL¹) or p-MeC₆H₄ (for HL²) or p-ClC₆H₄ (for HL³)] with K₂PtCl₄ and Co(ClO₄)₃ · 6H₂O afforded the (L)PtCl and [(L)₂Co]ClO₄ complexes, respectively. The HL ligands bind the platinum(II) and cobalt(III) centres in a tridentate (N,N,N) fashion, forming new diazoketiminato chelates upon dissociating the amino proton. The X-ray structures of (L³)PtCl and [(L³)₂Co]ClO₄ were determined. Redox properties of the new complexes have been examined.     

Chemoselective mono halogenation of β-keto-sulfones using potassium halide and hydrogen peroxide; synthesis of halomethyl sulfones and dihalomethyl sulfones

The synthesis of α-halo β-keto-sulfones using potassium halide and hydrogen peroxide as a chemoselective mono halogenation reagent and the synthesis of α,α-symmetrical and asymmetrical dihalo β-keto-sulfones and α-halo, α-alkyl and β-keto-sulfones is described. Base induced cleavage of α-halo β-keto-sulfones, α,α-dihalo β-keto-sulfones, and α-halo, α-alkyl β-keto-sulfones afforded the corresponding halomethyl sulfones, dihalomethyl sulfones and haloalkyl sulfones.     

Flow-injection chemiluminescent determination of metoclopramide hydrochloride in pharmaceutical formulations and biological fluids using the [Ru(dipy)(3)(2+)]-permanganate system

A flow-injection (FI) methodology using (2,2′-dipyridyl) ruthenium(II) [Ru(dipy)₃²⁺] chemiluminescence (CL) was developed for the rapid and sensitive determination of metoclopramide hydrochloride. The method is based on the CL reaction of metoclopramide with Ru(dipy)₃²⁺ and KMnO₄ in a sulfuric acid medium. Under the optimum conditions, a calibration graph was obtained over the concentration range 0.005-3.5 μg ml⁻¹ with a limit of detection (S/N=2) of 1 ng ml⁻¹. The correlation coefficient was 0.99993 (n=8) with a relative standard deviation of 0.48% for 10 determinations of 1 μg ml⁻¹ of drug. The method was successfully applied to the determination of metoclopramide in pharmaceutical preparations and biological fluids after IP administration of 25 mg kg⁻¹ dose to rats. The elimination half-life was 2.5±0.4 h.     

Boiling Temperature and Reversed Deliquescence Relative Humidity Measurements for Mineral Assemblages in the NaCl + NaNO3 + KNO3 + Ca(NO3)2 + H2O System

Boiling temperature measurements have been made at ambient pressure for saturated ternary solutions of NaCl + KNO₃ + H₂O, NaNO₃ + KNO₃ + H₂O, and NaCl + Ca(NO₃)₂ + H₂O over the full composition range, along with those of the single salt systems. Boiling temperatures were also measured for the four component NaCl + NaNO₃ + KNO₃ + H₂O and five component NaCl + NaNO₃ + KNO₃ + Ca(NO₃)₂ + H₂O mixtures, where the solute mole fraction of Ca(NO₃)₂, x{Ca(NO₃)₂}, was varied between 0 and 0.25. The maximum boiling temperature found for the NaCl + KNO₃ + H₂O system is ≈134.9 ^∘C; for the NaNO₃ + KNO₃ + H₂O system is ≈165.1 ^∘C at x(NaNO₃) ≈ 0.46 and x(KNO₃) ≈ 0.54; and for the NaCl + Ca(NO₃)₂ + H₂O system is 164.7 ± 0.6 ^∘C at x{NaCl} ≈ 0.25 and x{Ca(NO₃)₂} ≈ 0.75. The NaCl + NaNO₃ + KNO₃ + Ca(NO₃)₂ + H₂O system forms molten salts below their maximum boiling temperatures and the temperatures corresponding to the cessation of boiling (dry-out temperatures) of these liquid mixtures were determined. These dry-out temperatures range from ≈300 ^∘C when x{Ca(NO₃)₂} = 0 to ≥ 400 ^∘C when x{Ca(NO₃)₂} = 0.20 and 0.25. Mutual deliquescence/efflorescence relative humidity (MDRH/MERH) measurements were also made for the NaNO₃ + KNO₃ and NaCl + NaNO₃ + KNO₃ salt mixture from 120 to 180 ^∘C at ambient pressure. The NaNO₃ + KNO₃ salt mixture has a MDRH of 26.4% at 120 ^∘C and 20.0% at 150 ^∘C. This salt mixture also absorbs water at 180 ^∘C, which is higher than expected from the boiling temperature experiments. The NaCl + NaNO₃ + KNO₃ salt mixture was found to have a MDRH of 25.9% at 120 ^∘C and 10.5% at 180 ^∘C. The investigated mixture compositions correspond to some of the major mineral assemblages that are predicted to control brine composition due to the deliquescence of salts formed in dust deposited on waste canisters in the proposed nuclear repository at Yucca Mountain, Nevada.     

Micelle formation of N-decanoylglycine and N-decanoyl-L-alanine oligomer potassium-salts and the micellar structure. A small-angle neutron scattering study

 Potassium salts of N-decanoylglycine and N-decanoyl-L-alanine oligopeptides (monomer, dimer and trimer) were synthesized. For these oligomer salts in aqueous solutions, the microstructures of micelles have been investigated by small-angle neutron-scattering (SANS). In the calculation of SANS intensity data, the thickness of the hydrophilic layer was altered by changing the conformation of the oligomer moiety (helical and β-sheet structures). For micelles of the trimer salts, the helical structure models provide the best fit to the observed SANS intensity data. For micelles of the monomer-and dimer-salts, the β-sheet model provides the best fit to the observed data. For the monomer-and dimer-micelles, the aggregation number (n) is not dependent on the species of amino acid residue, imply-ing that the decanoyl group plays a critical role in micelle formation. However, for the trimer micelles, the n value is dependent on the species of amino acid residue. Received: 11 July 1996 Accepted: 11 September 1996
