Structural chemistry of azo complexes

Summary Complexes of Co^II, Ni^II, Cu^II, Pd^II, and Pt^IV with 2,4,5-trihydroxybenzoic acid and its substituted phenylazoderivatives have been prepared, together with some mixed-metal (Co, Cu or Ni, Cu) complexes of itsm-nitro,m-carboxy andm-hydroxyarylazo derivatives. The stereochemistries and the modes of bonding of the complexes were elucidated by spectral and magnetic susceptibility measurements.Abstracted from her Ph.D. thesis.     

Koordinationschemie von Dinitroresorcin mit Kupfer-, Kobalt-, Nickel-, Eisen- und Zinksalzen

The reactions of the bidentate dinitrosoresorcinol (DNR) with copper, cobalt, nickel, iron and zinc salts were investigated. This ligand was found to react with these metal salts in aqueous media where hydrogen ion was confirmed to be liberated except in case of iron. The solid complexes were prepared in alcoholic media. Chemical analyses, magnetic and spectral data were compatible to determine the structure of these complexes and their mode of chelation.

Electronic Absorption Spectra of Substituted Phenols

The spectral properties of o-aminophenol, catechol, o-nitrophenol, pyrogallol, salicylic acid and gallic acid were investigated in different solvents. The behaviour of hydrogen bonding demonstrated in these systems was discussed.     

Spectral and magnetic properties of phenylazo-6-aminouracil complexes

Complexes of Co(II), Ni(II) and Cu(II) with substituted phenylazo-6-aminouracils containing (-H, p-OH, p-CH(3), p-OCH(3) p-COOH) have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, magnetic measurements and spectral measurements (IR, UV-Vis, ESR). Infrared spectra assigned the fundamental bands of the major groups, O-H, N-H, C-H, C=O, C=N, N=N, C-N and C-O (nu, delta and gamma modes of vibrations). The absence of nu(OH) and the appearance of nu(C=O) in the infrared spectra of the free ligands of 5-(p-tolyl and p-anisylazo)-6-aminouracil, assigned the keto structure, whereas in cases of 5-(phenyl, p-hydroxyphenyl and p-carboxyphenylazo)-6-aminouracil ligands, the data showed strong nu(OH) and nu(C=O) bands to assign keto-enol tautomerisms. The modes of interactions between the ligands and the metals were discussed, where oxygen and nitrogen atoms (of amino-amide groups) are involved in chelation. The azo group was not involved in chelation for all the prepared complexes except those of copper complexes derived from 5-(phenyl, p-tolyl, p-hydroxyphenyl and p-carboxyphenylazo)-6-aminouracils. The room temperature effective magnetic moment values, the Nujol mull spectra and ESR proved that all the prepared complexes were of octahedral geometry, except the nickel complex derived from 5-(phenylazo)-6-aminouracil and cobalt complex derived from 5-(p-carboxy-phenylazo)-6-aminouracil were square planar.     

A microelectrode study of the mechanism of the reactions of silver(II) with manganese(II) and chromium(III) in sulphuric acid

The variation of the steady state limiting current for the Ag(I)/Ag(II) oxidation wave with the radius of the microdisc electrode, concentration and temperature has been used to probe the kinetics and mechanisms for the reactions of silver(II) with manganese(II) and chromium(III) in 10 mol dm⁻³ sulphuric acid. It is shown that the current density for the silver(I) mediated oxidation of manganese(II) is controlled by the diffusion of manganese(II) to the surface except for microelectrodes with radii below 5 μm. On the other hand, the current density for the mediated oxidation of chromium(III) is determined by the rate of the Ag(II)/Cr(III) reaction over a range of conditions. In contrast to the Ag(II)/water reaction, its kinetics can be fitted to a mechanism where the initial electron transfer from Cr(III) to the Ag(II) is the rate determining step.     

Structural chemistry of amino acid complexes

Summary Complex formation between Co^II, Ni^II and Cu^II and the amino acids (cysteine, cystine and methionine) in the solid state were investigated by elemental analyses, i.r. and electronic spectra, and magnetic susceptibilities     

Synthesis of proteophosphoglycans of Leishmania major and Leishmania mexicana

A novel approach for the synthesis of various fragments of proteophosphoglycans from Leishmania major and Leishmania mexicana proteophosphoglycans has been developed. These compounds have been obtained by coupling alpha-mannosyl and alpha-N-acetyl-glucosamine phosphoramidite derivatives with the serine hydroxyl of various amino acids and peptides to give, after oxidation with tert-BuOOH, phosphotriesters exclusively as alpha-anomers in good yield. The resulting compounds could be deblocked using conventional methods. Glycophosphorylation of preassembled and properly protected peptides was found to be more efficient for the preparation of proteophosphoglycan fragments than a building block approach strategy using a phosphoglycosylserine derivative.     

A colorimetric method for the determination of carboxylic acids

A new colorimetric method for the determination of carboxylic acids using bromocresol green reagent is established. The formed color follows Beer's Lambert law and is stable for 24 hr. The method is successfully applied for measuring the disappearance of volatile fatty acids in P. oxalicum culture media. The method is reproducable and is used also for the quantitative determination of carboxylic acids in Dowex 1-X8 eluates. A linear relationship between the pK₁ of different carboxylic acids and the calculated molar extinction coefficients of the color formed at 440 nm is demonstrated.     

Application of Alizarine Derivatives as Chromogenic Reagents for the Spectrophotometric Determination of Some Sulfa Drugs

A spectrophotometric procedure for the determination of six pharmaceutical sulfonamides containing a primary aromatic amino group using alizarine (I), alizarine blue (II), alizarine red (III), and quinalizarine (IV), that offers advantages of simplicity, rapidity, sensitivity, precision, and stability, has been developed. The proposed method is based on the formation of colored products with the chromogenic reagents (I-IV). A linear correlation was found between absorbance at λ_max and the concentration. For more accurate results, Ringbom optimum concentration ranges are evaluated. The molar absorptivities (ε), absorptivities (a), and Sandell sensitivities for all sulfonamides derivatives with the chromogenic reagents tested were calculated. The procedures developed are applied for bulk sulfa drugs and some of their dosage forms.
