Synthesis and Structural Characterization of a Cyclen-Derived Molecular Cage

2015

Reaction of a tetrafunctionalized cyclen derivative containing four aldehyde groups with an appropriate diamine followed by reduction and demetalation highly efficiently affords a bis(cyclen)-derived molecular cage. Potentiometric investigations show that this compound forms dimetallic complexes with copper(II), with the two metal ions selectively coordinated to the cyclen units. X-ray crystallography indicates that these complexes could give rise to new cascade complexes after incorporation of anions between the metal centers.

Synthesis of a tetradentate piperazine ligand and a structural study of its coordination compounds

1999

Abstract A tetradentate ligand N,N′-bis(2-pyridylmethyl)piperazine (L1) and seven structures of its transition metal coordination compounds are described. Most of the compounds are of the general formula [M(L1)(NO3)2], with M=Cu2+, Co2+, Mn2+and Cd2+. In addition, a dimeric copper(II) compound, [Cu2(L1)(Ac)4](H2O)3, and polymeric silver(I) compounds, [Ag(L1)]n(NO3)n(EtOH)n and [Ag(L1)]n(SO3CF3)n, were formed. The overall structure of L1 in the metal complexes A–G varies with the size and electronic properties of the metal ions. Mononuclear complex A is a five-coordinated, B is a six-coordinated, and C and D are eight-coordinated metal complexes. The dinuclear Cu complex, E, is four-coordina…

Pentachloro(pyrazine)rhenate(iv) complex as precursor of heterobimetallic pyrazine-containing ReIV2MII (M = Ni, Cu) species: synthesis, crystal struc…

2008

Three novel Re(IV) mononuclear complexes of formulae NBu4[ReC15(pyz)] (1), NH2Me2[ReCl5(pyz)] (2) and NH4[ReCl5(pyz)].0.75H2O (3), (pyz being pyrazine; NBu4+ = tetra-n-butylammonium cation, NH2Me2+ = dimethylammonium cation and NH4+ = ammonium cation), were synthesized by ligand substitution reaction from [ReCl6]2- anion and pyrazine in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF). In addition, two new heterobimetallic compounds, the salt namely [ReCl5(pyz)]2[Ni(cyclam)](4) (cyclam = 1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane) and the heterotrinuclear [{ReCl5(mu-pyz)}2Cu(DMF)4] (5) complex, were prepared by using as precursor 1 and 3, respectively. Compounds 1-5 were characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction…

Speciation studies in aqueous solution on the interaction of Cu2+ and Zn2+ with a series of polyaminic ligands N-naphthalen-1-ylmethyl-N′-{2-[(naphthalen-1-ylmethyl)-amino]-ethyl}-ethane-1,2-diamine (Ll), N-naphthalen-1-ylmethyl-N′-(2-{2-[(naphthalen-1-ylmethyl)-amino]-ethylamino}-ethyl)-ethane-1,2-diamine (L2) and N-naphthalen-1-ylmethyl-N′-[2-(2-{2-[(naphthalen-1-ylmethyl)-amino]-ethylamino}-ethylamino)-ethyl]-ethane-1,2-diamine (L3) containing two naphthylmethyl groups at their termini and N 1-(2-{2-[(naphthalen-1-ylmethyl)-amino]-ethylamino}-ethyl)-ethane-1,2-diamine (L4) containing just one naphthylmethyl group have been carried out at 298.1 K in 0.15 mol dm−3 NaCl. In the case of the …

Immobilisation of humic substances

2002

Attempts were made to immobilise humic substances (HS) by grafting them onto different carriers (styrene-divinylbenzene copolymers, cellulose and silica) as well as by their crosslinking with formaldehyde. Reaction with Merrifield resin was used for the immobilisation of HS, coupling by means of water-soluble carbodiimides to carriers containing amino-groups. Crosslinking of HS with formaldehyde (also in presence of other substances able to enter polycondensation reactions with formaldehyde) was shown to be an efficient method for their insolubilisation. Properties of the obtained immobilised HS were studied, including their potential use as sorbents for several metal ions and organic subst…

Phosphonomethyl-substituted phenols are readily obtained from o-hydroxymethylated phenols and trialkyl phosphites. The free acids, incorporated into phenol-formaldehyde resins, act as cation exchangers with remarkable selectivity for different metal ions.

Studies on the UV-photolytic decomposition of some tensides and complexones inhibiting the inverse-voltammetric determination of metal ions

1993

The UV-photolytic decomposition of some tensides and complexones has been investigated using the DPASV peak of indium as an indicator. The results show that UV-irradiation alone can completely decompose these compounds at lower concentrations within a short time. Higher concentrations need an additional oxidising agent.

Introduction of a luminescent sensor for tracking trace levels of hydrazine in insect pollinated cropland flowers

2021

In recent years the excessive use of hydazine containing chemical pesticides and insecticides in farming practices is well pronounced, which directly or indirectly impart a great threat towards the total environment. Considering the above fact we are motivated to introduce a new, efficient and simple chemodosimeter (NCD) based on a carbazole-naphthalimide framework to recognize and estimate the mutagenic hydrazine within several affected cropland flowers. Probe NCD can detect hydrazine in a nanomolar range (65 nM or 2 ppb) in the presence of other metal ions, anions and amines, which gives it not only great potential but also makes it selective and sensitive. The sensing mechanism is confir…

Special Calixarenes by Directed Syntheses

1997

The synthesis of special calixarenes and calixarene-like macrocyclic compounds via stepwise procedures and fragment condensation is reviewed. Among the compounds available are exo- and endo-calixarenes consisting of different phenolic units, having bridges other than methylene or showing inherent chirality (Cn-symmetry). Macrobi- and -tricyclic molecules such as bridged calixarenes, double calixarenes, bicyclocalixarenes and annelated calixarenes are also described. Single crystal X-ray structures are reported for several compounds. Some properties like conformational barriers, pKa values or the ability to complex metal ions are discussed, showing the potential of these compounds which may …

Quantitation of Metal Ions in Archaeological Glass by Abrasive Stripping Square-Wave Voltammetry Using Graphite/Polyester Composite Electrodes

2003

A method for identifying Co, Cu, Sb, Sn, Fe, Zn, and Zr pigments in glasses using square-wave voltammetry as the detection mode is described. It is based on the abrasive attachment of glass microsamples to graphite/polyester composite electrodes. Sample amounts less than 1 μg are used allowing for the study of archaeological samples. In all cases well-defined anodic stripping peaks corresponding to the oxidation of metal deposits generated at potentials ranging from −0.6 to −1.6 V (vs. SCE) are obtained. This response is in agreement with that displayed by the corresponding metal oxides. Quantitative estimates of the relative population of metal ions in glasses are obtained from peak area m…
