In situ generation of Co(II) by use of a solid-phase reactor in an FIA assembly for the spectrophotometric determination of penicillamine

2005

[EN] A flow injection analysis (FIA) manifold for the determination of penicillamine in pharmaceutical preparations is proposed. The manifold includes a solid-phase reactor for the in situ production of the derivatizing reagent, Co(II) ion, which forms a coloured complex with penicillamine in an alkaline medium. The reactor is prepared by natural immobilization of cobalt carbonate on a polymer matrix, which endows it with a high mechanical and microbiological stability. The cobalt released by passage of a 5 x 10(-4) Mol l(-1) sulphuric acid stream at a flow-rate of 2.3 ml min(-1) is merged with a volume of 314 mu l of sample containing penicillamine in ammonium-ammonia buffer at pH 9.5 to m…

Electrochemistry of TiO2–iron hexacyanocobaltate composite electrodes

2014

Abstract In this paper we investigate the electrochemical behavior of iron hexacyanocobaltate (FeHCC) in comparison to the cobalt hexacyanoferrate (CoHCF). The best results were achieved on electrochemical synthesized film of FeHCC on the TiO2 modified electrodes. The chemical and physical characterizations confirm the formation of the FeHCC with the classical cubic crystal structure of the Prussian blue analogs, with cell parameter a very close to 10 A, as well as the formation of micro aggregates of TiO2 covered by FeHCC. The synthesis was performed on various substrates such as glassy carbon (GC), graphite foil (GF) and indium tin oxide (ITO) in order to develop new technological applica…

Different Look at the Spin State ofCo3+Ions in aCoO5Pyramidal Coordination

2004

Using soft-x-ray absorption spectroscopy at the Co ${L}_{2,3}$ and O $K$ edges, we demonstrate that the ${\mathrm{Co}}^{3+}$ ions with the ${\mathrm{CoO}}_{5}$ pyramidal coordination in the layered ${\mathrm{Sr}}_{2}{\mathrm{CoO}}_{3}\mathrm{Cl}$ compound are unambiguously in the high spin state. Our result questions the reliability of the spin state assignments made so far for the recently synthesized layered cobalt perovskites and calls for a reexamination of the modeling for the complex and fascinating properties of these new materials.

1D ferrimagnetism in homometallic chains

1990

The magnetic properties of the cobalt zigzag chain Co(bpy)(NCS)2 (bpy=2,2′‐bipyridine) are discussed on the basis of an Ising‐chain model that takes into account alternating Landé factors. It is emphasized, for the first time, that a homometallic chain containing only one type of site can give rise to a 1D ferrimagneticlike behavior. Juan.J.Borras@uv.es , Eugenio.Coronado@uv.es

Nanostructured Ni Based Anode and Cathode for Alkaline Water Electrolyzers

2019

Owing to the progressive abandoning of the fossil fuels and the increase of atmospheric CO2 concentration, the use of renewable energies is strongly encouraged. The hydrogen economy provides a very interesting scenario. In fact, hydrogen is a valuable energy carrier and can act as a storage medium as well to balance the discontinuity of the renewable sources. In order to exploit the potential of hydrogen it must be made available in adequate quantities and at an affordable price. Both goals can be potentially achieved through the electrochemical water splitting, which is an environmentally friendly process as well as the electrons and water are the only reagents. However, these devices stil…

1H-NMR study of a cobalt-substituted blue copper protein: Pseudomonas aeruginosa Co(II)-azurin.

1995

Substitution of copper by cobalt in blue copper proteins gives a paramagnetic metalloderivative suitable for paramagnetic NMR studies. A thorough analysis of the 1H-NMR spectrum of Pseudomonas aeruginosa Co(II)-azurin is presented here. All the observable contact-shifted signals as well as many other paramagnetic signals from protons placed up to about 1.0 nm around the metal center, including some residues belonging to functionally important parts of the protein like the hydrophobic patch and the His35 region, have been assigned. The results obtained permit the detection and study of structural variations like those originated by the His35 ionization, and allow us to draw a feasible pictur…

Complexation behaviour of hexadentate ligands possessing N2O4and N2O2S2cores: differential reactivity towards Co(ii), Ni(ii) and Zn(ii) salts and str…

2004

Reactions of divalent metal salts of Co, Ni and Zn with 1,2-di(salicylaldimino-o-phenylthio) ethane (H2L1) and 1,2-di(naphthaldimino-o-phenylthio) ethane (H2L2), having N2O2S2 cores, and 1,2-di(O-salicylaldimino-o-hydroxyphenyl) ethane (H2L3), having a N2O4 core, have been explored. Out of the three ligands and the nine products obtained from the corresponding reactions, two ligands and seven products were crystallographically characterized. However, all the ligands and the products were characterized by analytical and spectral methods. Reaction of H2L1 and H2L2 with Co(II) salts results in oxidative cleavage of the C-S bond to produce a Co(III) product bound to two dissimilar tridentate li…

Kinetic study of the oxidation of [Fe(CN)6]4− by [Co(NH3)4pzCO2]2+ and S2O82- in the presence of the tripodal ligand Tren Aminopropil

2011

Abstract Oxidations (electron transfers) of [Fe(CN)6]4− by [Co(NH3)4pzCO2]2+ and S 2 O 8 2 - have been studied in solutions containing the receptor N,N′,N″-(aminopropil)-tris (2-aminoetil) amina [Tren Aminopropil, TAL], which can incorporate [Fe(CN)6]4− and S 2 O 8 2 - but not the cobalt complex. The results can be explained using the Bronsted equation that allows to obtain the binding constant of the transition state, a parameter that the Pseudophase Model cannot provide.

Itinerant Electron Metamagnetism in η-Carbide-Type Compound Co3Mo3C

2010

We report the magnetic properties of the cobalt molybdenum η-carbide-type compounds Co 3 Mo 3 C and Co 3 Mo 3 N. The magnetic susceptibility χ of Co 3 Mo 3 C shows a Curie–Weiss temperature dependence at high temperatures and a broad maximum at around 100 K, whereas that of Co 3 Mo 3 N shows a nearly temperature-independent enhanced Pauli paramagnetic behavior. The absence of a magnetic long-range order was confirmed by the nuclear magnetic resonance technique in both the compounds. As expected from the broad maximum of χ, we observed an itinerant electron metamagnetic transition at around 37 T in Co 3 Mo 3 C.
