Homo- and heterometallic [2x2] grid arrays containing RuII, OsII, and FeII subunits and their mononuclear RuII and OsII precursors: synthesis, absorption spectra, redox behavior, and luminescence properties

The absorption spectra, redox behavior, and luminescence properties (both at 77 K in rigid matrices and at room temperature in fluid solution) of a series of [2x2] molecular grids have been investigated. The latter were prepared either by means of sequential self-assembly, or by a stepwise protection/deprotection procedure, and are based on a ditopic hexadentate ligand 1 in which two terpyridine-like binding sites are fused together in a linear arrangement. The molecular grids studied include the homometallic species [[Fe(1)](4)](8+) (Fe(2)Fe(2)), and the heterometallic species [[Ru(1)](2)[Fe(1)](2)](8+) (Ru(2)Fe(2)) and [[Os(1)](2)[Fe(1)](2)](8+) (Os(2)Fe(2)). For comparison purposes, the properties of the mononuclear complexes [Ru(1)(2)](2+) (1-Ru) and [Os(1)(2)](2+) (1-Os) have been studied. All these compounds exhibit very intense absorption bands in the UV region (epsilon in the 10(5)-10(6) M(-1) cm(-1) range, attributed to spin-allowed ligand-centered (LC) transitions), as well as intense metal-to-ligand charge-transfer (MLCT) transitions (epsilon in the 10(4)-10(5) M(-1) cm(-1) range) that extend to the entire visible region. The mononuclear species 1-Ru and 1-Os exhibit relatively intense luminescence, both in acetonitrile at room temperature (tau=59 and 18 ns, respectively) and in butyronitrile rigid matrices at 77 K. In contrast, the tetranuclear molecular grids do not exhibit any luminescence, either at room temperature or at 77 K. This is attributed to fast intercomponent energy transfer from the Ru- or Os-based subunits to the low-lying metal-centered (MC) levels involving the Fe(II) centers, which leads to fast radiationless decay. The redox behavior of the compounds is characterized by several metal-centered oxidation and ligand-centered reduction processes, most of them reversible in nature (as many as twelve for Fe(2)Fe(2)). Detailed assignment of each redox process has been made, and it is apparent that these systems can be viewed as multilevel molecular electronic species capable of reversibly exchanging a number of electrons at accessible and predetermined potentials. Furthermore, it is shown that the electronic interaction between specific subunits depends on their location in the structure and on the oxidation states of the other components.     

Analysis of sorption and bioavailability of different species of mercury on model soil components using XAS techniques and sensor bacteria

The present work studies the adsorption behaviour of mercury species on different soil components (montmorillonite, kaolinite and humic acid) spiked with CH₃HgCl and CH₃HgOH at different pH values, by using XAS techniques and bacterial mercury sensors in order to evaluate the availability of methyl mercury on soil components. The study details and discusses different aspects of the adsorption process, including sample preparation (with analysis of adsorbed methyl mercury by ICP-OES), the various adsorption conditions, and the characterization of spiked samples by XAS techniques performed at two synchrotron facilities (ESRF in Grenoble, France and HASYLAB in Hamburg, Germany), as well as bioavailability studies using mercury-specific sensor bacteria. Results show that XAS is a valuable qualitative technique that can be used to identify the bonding character of the Hg in mercury environment. The amount of methyl in mercury adsorbed to montmorillonite was pH-dependent while for all soil components studied, the bond character was not affected by pH. On the other hand, clays exhibited more ionic bonding character than humic acids did with methyl mercury. This interaction has a higher covalent character and so it is more stable for CH₃HgOH than for CH₃HgCl, due to the higher reactivity of the hydroxyl group arising from the possible formation of hydrogen bonds.The bioavailability of methyl mercury adsorbed to montmorillonite, kaolinite and humic acids was measured using recombinant luminescent sensor bacterium Escherichia coli MC1061 (pmerBR_BSluc). In case of contact exposure (suspension assays), the results showed that the bioavailability was higher than it was for exposure to particle-free extracts prepared from these suspensions. The highest bioavailability of methyl mercury was found in suspensions of montmorillonite (about 50% of the total amount), while the bioavailabilities of kaolinite and humic acids were five times lower (about 10%). The behaviour of methyl mercury in the presence of montmorillonite could be explained by the more ionic bonding character of this system, in contrast to the more covalent bonding character observed for humic acids. Thus, XAS techniques seem to provide promising tools for investigating the mechanisms behind the observed bioavailabilities of metals in various environmental matrices, an important topic in environmental toxicology.     

The synthetic microporous tellurites Na2[Me 2(TeO3)3]·3H2O (Me=Zn,Co): Crystal structure,De- and rehydration,and ion exchange properties

Summary The crystal structure investigations of hydrothermally synthesized Na₂[Zn₂(TeO₃)₃]·3H₂O (NZT) and Na₂[Co₂(TeO₃)₃]·3H₂O (NCT) using single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods revealed a microporous framework structure of hexagonal symmetry with tubular channels running parallel to the c-axis (zemannite type). The statistically occupied sites of the Na⁺ ions and H₂O molecules within the channels as well as the channel dimensions indicate a possible zeolitic behaviour of the compounds. Thermoanalytical investigations ofNZT show an irreversible breakdown of the framework already atT=533 K caused by complete dehydration. A reversible rehydration was solely observed for partially dehydratedNZT (T493 K); a remarkable ion exchange rate from alkali-chloride solutions was observed only for Li⁺. Both the rehydration and the ion exchange properties are characterized by relatively long reaction times. The relatively poor zeolitic properties compared to typical zeolitic compounds could be related to the stereochemical activity of the lone-pair electrons of the Te⁴⁺ atoms which claim a certain volume within the channels and constrict the effective channel dimension to a free diameter of approximately 2.5 Å.

Die synthetischen zeolithartigen Tellurite Na₂[Me ₂(TeO₃)₃]·3H₂O (Me=Zn, Co): Kristallstruktur, De- und Rehydratisierung und Ionenaustauschvermögen

Zusammenfassung Die Kristallstrukturuntersuchungen mittels Röntgen-Einkristalldiffraktionsmethoden von hydrothermal dargestelltem Na₂[Zn₂(TeO₃)₃]·3H₂O (NZT) und Na₂[Co₂(TeO₃)₃]·3H₂O (NCT) ergaben eine zeolithartige Gerüststruktur hexagonaler Symmetrie mit parallel zur c-Achse angeordneten röhrenartigen Kanälen (Zemannittyp). Die statistisch besetzten Punktlagen der Na⁺-Atome und H₂O Moleküle innerhalb der Kanäle wie auch die Kanaldimensionen selbst weisen auf mögliche zeolithische Eigenschaften der Verbindungen hin. Thermoanalytische Untersuchungen anNZT ergaben einen irreversiblen Zusammenbruch der Gerüststruktur bereits beiT=533 K durch vollständige Entwässerung. Eine reversible Rehydratisierung wurde nur für partiell entwässertesNZT (T493 K) beobachtet; ein nennenswerter Ionenaustausch aus Alkalichlorid-Lösungen konnte nur für Li⁺ bestimmt werden. Sowohl die Rehydratisierung als auch das Ionenaustauschvermögen sind durch relativ lange Reaktionszeiten charakterisiert. Die im Vergleich zu typisch zeolithischen Verbindungen relativ schlechten zeolithischen Eigenschaften konnten auf die stereochemische Aktivität der einsamen Elektronenpaare der Te⁴⁺ Atome zurüchgefürt werden, die einen gewissen Platz innerhalb der Kanäle beanspruchen und den effektiven freien Durchmesser der Kanäle auf etwa 2.5 Å einengen.

Ab initio studies on several species of the formula X3YO and X3YOH

Ab initio molecular orbital calculations using both minimal and extended basis sets have been applied to two isoelectronic sets of molecules. One set corresponds to the 18 electron species H₃NO, H₃CO^– and H₃COH while the second set contains the 42 electron fluorinated molecules F₃NO, F₃CO^– and F₃COH. The geometries of these molecules have been optimized, using both the minimal STO-3G and the extended 4-31G basis sets. These comparative calculations reveal that the 4-31G basis produced structural parameters in much better agreement with experiment. The effect of includingd-orbitals in the basis set was also investigated. For the fluorinated oxides it has been found that the optimized 4-31G structures were only slightly altered by the addition ofd-orbitals. For H₃NO, on the other hand, the inclusion ofd-orbitals considerably shortens the N-O bond distance. Both H₃NO and CF₃OH, which are unknown experimentally, are theoretically predicted to be capable of existence. The electronic structures of these molecules have also been examined using electronic partitioning according to the Mulliken scheme.
