Reaction of complex ligands: Part 95. Chromium tricarbonyl complexes of polysubstituted naphthohydroquinones: regioselective synthesis via [3+2+1]-be…
2003
Abstract A series of polysubstituted naphthohydroquinoid tricarbonyl chromium complexes were prepared by chromium mediated [3+2+1]-benzannulation of Fischer-type carbene complexes with alkynes. The kinetics and the thermodynamic data of the η6-η6-haptotropic rearrangements were investigated by in-situ NMR spectroscopy. The free activation energies ΔG# range from 23 to 26 kcal mol−1 and only slightly depend on the bulk and the donor/acceptor properties of the substituents. Equilibrium of metal migration was observed for naphthohydroquinone complexes bearing methoxy substituents at the non-hyroquinoid ring (ring A). In complexes bearing methyl groups or only hydrogen substituents at ring A th…
Novel synthesis of spherical MCM-48
1999
Abstract A novel synthesis route was developed for the cubic member of the M41S family, MCM-48, with a three-dimensional pore system allowing the formation of submicrometre- to micrometre-sized beads with a narrow pore-size distribution. The synthesis is based on the modified Stober method applying tetraethoxysilane, ethanol, water, ammonia and n -hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide as template. The specific surface area, the specific pore volume and the average pore diameter were varied in the following ranges: 900–1600 m 2 g −1 , 0.5–0.9 cm 3 g −1 and 2–3 nm. Aluminium-, chromium-, gallium-, niobium- and vanadium-MCM-48 were also synthesized following this procedure.
The chloro‐substituent enhances performance of 2,4‐bis (imino)pyridylchromium catalysts yielding highly linear polyethylene
2020
The five unsymmetrical 2‐[1‐(2,4‐dibenzhydryl‐6‐chlorophenylimino)ethyl]‐6‐[1‐(arylimino)ethyl]pyridine compounds (aryl: 2,6‐Me2Ph L1 , 2,6‐Et2Ph L2 , 2,6‐i Pr2Ph L3 , 2,4,6‐Me3Ph L4 and 2,6‐Et2–4‐MePh L5 ) were prepared and characterized with FT‐IR and 1H/13C NMR spectroscopy as well as elemental analysis. The treatment of L1 – L5 with CrCl3·3THF affords the corresponding chromium chloride complexes (Cr1 – Cr5 ) in excellent yields. The molecular structures of Cr2 and Cr3 characterized by X‐ray diffraction show a distorted octahedral geometry with three nitrogen atoms and three chlorine atoms around the metal center. On activation with either MAO or MMAO, Cr1 – Cr5 collectively display hig…
Speciation of Cr in Leachates of a MSWI Bottom Ash Landfill
1998
Cr concentrations and speciation were determined in leachate from a municipal solid waste incinerator bottom ash landfill both experimentally and by thermodynamic model calculations. Total dissolved Cr concentrations of 0.2 mmol L-1 were determined by GFAAS. Two orders of magnitude lower values were determined upon preconcentration by an in-situ solid-phase extraction technique based on the 8-HQ cation exchanger that is specific for Cr(III) but unspecific for Cr(VI). This suggests that chromate dominates the dissolved Cr concentrations in the leachates but was up to 5 orders of magnitude undersaturated with respect to the solubility of CaCrO4 or BaCrO4. Chromate adsorption by oxyhydroxides …
Theoretical Insights into the Ferromagnetic Coupling in Oxalato-Bridged Chromium(III)-Cobalt(II) and Chromium(III)-Manganese(II) Dinuclear Complexes …
2012
Two novel heterobimetallic complexes of formula [Cr(bpy)(ox)(2)Co(Me(2)phen)(H(2)O)(2)][Cr(bpy)(ox)(2)]·4H(2)O (1) and [Cr(phen)(ox)(2)Mn(phen)(H(2)O)(2)][Cr(phen)(ox)(2)]·H(2)O (2) (bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine, phen = 1,10-phenanthroline, and Me(2)phen = 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline) have been obtained through the "complex-as-ligand/complex-as-metal" strategy by using Ph(4)P[CrL(ox)(2)]·H(2)O (L = bpy and phen) and [ML'(H(2)O)(4)](NO(3))(2) (M = Co and Mn; L' = phen and Me(2)phen) as precursors. The X-ray crystal structures of 1 and 2 consist of bis(oxalato)chromate(III) mononuclear anions, [Cr(III)L(ox)(2)](-), and oxalato-bridged chromium(III)-cobalt(II) and chromium(III)-manganese(II) din…
Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometric Determination of Cobalt in Foods
1985
A method is reported for determination of chromium in foodstuffs. Organic matter is digested with nitric acid, followed by oxidation to Cr(VI) and extraction with methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK) after HCl addition. Chromium determinations are performed by flame absorption spectroscopy. Absence of interferences is verified and recovery tests are performed on food samples. Quantitation limit (3.8 ng/mL), accuracy (NBS Standard Reference Material 1,573 Tomato Leaves, 4,500 +/- 500 ng/g, found 3,860 +/- 409 ng/g), and precision (CV for vegetable matrix = 9.05%, CV for animal matrix = 14.95%) of the procedure are evaluated.
Analytical methodologies for chromium speciation in solid matrices: a survey of literature
1998
The analytical literature about chromium speciation in solid samples has been surveyed. From 451 articles published on the speciation of chromium from 1983 to 1997, the methodologies to do speciation in solids after sample pretreatment are discussed, through consideration of the types of samples and their dissolution, the analytical techniques employed for chromium measurement, and the figures of merit of the 86 papers reported in the Analytical Abstracts data base.
Biological Evaluation of the NIR-Emissive Ruby Analogue [Cr(ddpd) 2 ][BF 4 ] 3 as a Photodynamic Therapy Photosensitizer
2018
International audience; Photodynamic therapy relies on the bioavailability of photosensitizers with suitable photophysical, chemical and biochemical properties. Although the photophysical properties, stability and high water solubility of the chromium(III) complex [Cr(ddpd)2][BF4]3 (ddpd = N,N'-dimethyl-N,N'-dipyridin-2-ylpyridine-2,6-diamine) are very favorable, its photocytotoxicity against cancerous and non-cancerous cell lines has not yet been elucidated. We now report the cytotoxicity and photocytotoxicity of the complex [Cr(ddpd)2][BF4]3 against human cervical cancer cells, human primary glioblastoma cells, human glioblastoma astrocytoma cells and non-cancerous retinal pigment epithel…
Effect of pruning-derived biochar on heavy metals removal and water dynamics
2014
Biomass-derived biochar is considered as a promising heavy metal adsorbent, due to abundance of polar functional groups, such as carboxylic, hydroxyl, and amino groups, which are available for heavy metal removal. The aims of this study were to evaluate the effectiveness of an orchard pruning-derived biochar in removing some heavy metals (through the evaluation of isotherms) and to study water dynamics at the solid-liquid interface as affected by heavy metal adsorption (through an innovative nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) relaxometry approach). Both isotherms and NMR spectra revealed that Pb and Cr showed a good affinity for the biochar surface (Pb > Cr), while Cu was less affine. Accordi…
A new selective fluorogenic probe for trivalent cations.
2012
[EN] A new selective chromo-fluorogenic probe for Fe 3+, Cr 3+ and Al 3+ is reported. Detection limits are in the ¿M range and the fluorogenic sensing ability could be observed by the naked eye when illuminated with UV-light. No response is observed with divalent cations. © 2012 The Royal Society of Chemistry.
