On the Existence of Different Zeolite-Associated Topological Redox Isomers. Electrochemistry of the Y Zeolite-Associated Mn(Salen)N3 Complex
2002
The electrochemical properties of Y zeolite-associated MnIII(salen)N3 (salen = trans-(R,R)-1,2-bis(salicyldeneamino)cyclohexane) has been investigated using polymer film electrodes immersed into neutral aqueous solutions. Zeolite Y-associated Mn(III)−salen complexes are reduced in one-electron reversible process at −0.25 V versus SCE. The electrochemical response is discussed in terms of the existence of two topological redox isomers: a weakly boundary-associated Mn(salen) complex, whose electrochemical response corresponds to a reversible one-electron transfer controlled by diffusion of the positive ions of the supporting electrolyte through the zeolite surface windows and channels, and a…
Thermodynamic parameters for the formation of glycine complexes with magnesium(II), calcium(II), lead(II), manganese(II), cobalt(II), nickel(II), zin…
1995
Abstract Protonation constants and Mg 2+ , Ca 2+ , Pb 2+ , Mn 2+ -, Co 2+ , Ni 2+ , Cu 2+ , Zn 2+ and Cd 2+ glycine complex formation constants have been determined in different aqueous media at different temperatures. Salt effects are explained by a complex formation model which takes into account the formation of weak species. From the temperature dependence of the formation constants, thermodynamic parameters ΔH θ (and in some cases ΔC θ p ) have been obtained. A rigorous analysis of literature data, together with experimental findings, allows recommended formation parameters, in the ranges 0 ≤ I e ≤ 1 mol l −1 ( I e is the effective ionic strength) and 5°C ≤ T ≤ 45°C, to be obt…
Compounds of tungsten(VI) with citric acid: A spectrophotometric, polarimetric and hydrogen-1, carbon-13 N.M.R. study of the formation and interconve…
1986
Tungsten(VI)-citrate complexes, which occur in aqueous solution, were studied by polarimetric and absorbance measurements. The pH of the medium is the principal variable controlling complex formation and interconversion equilibria. At high pH (>6), the stable complexes are monomers with 1∶2 and 1∶1 stoichiometry, depending on the tungsten(VI)-citrate ratio, while at lower pH two different dinuclear complexes are formed. The intervals of existence of these species with the pH, the number of equivalents of acid necessary for their formation, as well as the conditional stability constant, have also been calculated. The structure of these compounds have been investigated by1H and13C-n.m.r. spec…
[2]Catenanes and inclusion complexes derived from self-assembled rectangular PdII and PtII metallocycles
2012
New inclusion complexes and [2]catenanes were self-assembled from a fluorescent diazapyrenium based ligand, a PdII or PtII complex, and cyclic or acyclic electron rich aromatic guests in aqueous and organic media. The molecular rectangles display a π-deficient cavity suitable to incorporate π-donor aromatic systems. The inclusion complexes between the metallocycles and phenylenic (2a,b) and naphthalenic (3a,b–5a,b) derivatives were studied by NMR, UV-vis and fluorescence spectroscopy. The crystal structure of (3b) ⊂ 1a·6PF(6) confirmed the insertion of the guest into the cavity of the metallocycle. Following the same self-assembly strategy, the use of polyethers 6,7 as π-donors resulted in …
Interaction of methyltin(IV) compounds with carboxylate ligands. Part 2: Formation thermodynamic parameters, predictive relationships and sequesterin…
2008
Thermodynamic data of mono-, di- and tri-methyltin(IV)-carboxylate complexes (acetate, malonate, succinate, oxydiacetate, diethylenetrioxydiacetate, malate, citrate, 1,2,3-tricarballylate, 1,2,3,4-butanetetracarboxylate, 1,2,3,4,5,6-benzenehexacarboxylate) in aqueous solution are reported at t = 25 °C and I = 0 mol l−1. Thermodynamic parameters obtained were analysed to formulate empirical predictive relationships as a function of different parameters, such as the number of carboxylate groups of the ligand and the charge of the alkyltin(IV) cation. Sequestration diagrams of citrate and 1,2,3-tricarballylate towards alkyltin(IV) cations at different pH values are also reported and discussed.…
Complex formation equilibria between the acetazolamide ((5-acetamido-1,3,4-thiadiazole)-2-sulphonamide), a potent inhibitor of carbonicanhydrase, and…
1990
Abstract The stability constants for the equilibrium of complexation between acetazolamide and the divalent metal ions copper(II), nickel(II), zinc(II), and cobalt(II) have been determined by potentiometry both in water and in water-ethanol 50 vol. % solutions in 0.15 mol dm −3 NaNO 3 at 25°C. This mixed solvent has been used in order to obtain higher concentrations of acetazolamide in solution. For copper(II) and nickel(II), the binuclear species [Cu 2 (Acm) 2 ] and [Ni 2 (Acm) 3 ] 2− are detected in both solvents together with hydroxo species. The values of the stability constants are always higher in the mixed solvent than in water. For cobalt(II) and zinc(II), while in aqueous solution …
Speciation of low molecular weight ligands in natural fluids: protonation constants and association of open chain polyamines with the major component…
2000
Abstract The interaction of five open chain polyamines (ethylenediamine (en), diethylenetriamine (dien), trietylenetetramine (trien), tetraethylenepentamine (tetren), spermine (sper)) with the major components of seawater was studied potentiometrically at 25°C, in an artificial seawater (containing Na+, K+, Mg2+, Ca2+, Cl− and SO42−) at different salinities (5–45‰). Potentiometric data were interpreted in terms of both the apparent protonation constants of polyamines and the formation constants of complexes formed by unprotonated or protonated amines and the cation and the anion of seawater (the inorganic content of seawater being considered as a single 1:1 salt). Some empirical relationshi…
Spectroscopic study of molecular associations between riboflavin and some (dihydro) β-carboline derivatives
1993
Abstract The spectrophotometric and thermodynamic properties of molecular complexes of riboflavin (RFN) with some dihydro β-carboline derivatives have been investigated by using electronic absorption and fluorescence spectroscopic methods in aqueous solution. The molecular associations have been examined by means of eletronic absorption spectra, since in each, a new charge transfer-like band has been located, and also by observing the variation of the fluorescence emission of RFN on the solutions. The formation constants for the molecular complexes were determined from absorption data, using the Forster—Hammick—Wardley method. The quenching phenomenon observed in RFN fluorescence is related…
DFT computational study on Fe(III)-N,N′-ethylene-bis(salicylideneiminato) derivatives
2005
DFT calculations, at unrestricted B3LYP level, have been performed on the structures of three iron(III) complexes, Fe(Salen)Cl, [Fe(Salen)]+ and [Fe(Salen)OH2]+, where Salen is the anion of Schiff base ligand N,N′-ethylene-bis (salicylideneimine), considering the spin multiplicity (S) values 2, 4 and 6. The results obtained have been compared with the available structural an magnetic experimental data, allowing us to conclude that a stable form of the FeIII(Salen) complex in aqueous solution should be characterized by an energy stabilization of the S=4 compared to the S=6 state.
Uranium(VI) sequestration by polyacrylic and fulvic acids in aqueous solution
2011
Stability data on the formation of dioxouranium(VI) species with polyacrylic (PAA) and fulvic acids (FA) are reported with the aim to define quantitatively the sequestering capacity of these high molecular weight synthetic and naturally occurring ligands toward uranium(VI), in aqueous solution. Investigations were carried out at t = 25 °C in NaCl medium at different ionic strengths and in absence of supporting electrolyte for uranyl–fulvate (\( {{\text{UO}}_{2}}^{2+} \)–FA) and uranyl–polyacrylate (\( {{\text{UO}}_{ 2}}^{ 2+ } \)–PAA, PAA MW 2 kDa) systems, respectively. The experimental data are consistent with the following speciation models for the two systems investigated: (i) UO2(FA1),…
