Syntheses, Structures and Magnetic Properties of Two Co(II) Coordination Polymers with 2,5-Pyridine Dicarboxylic Acid

The hydro(solvo)thermal reactions of cobalt powder or its chloride with 2,5- pyridine dicarboxylic acid (H2PYDC) yielded two new complexes: [Co(II)2(PYDC)2(H2O)2- (H2O)4]n 1 and {Co(II)[NH2(CH3)2]2(PYDC)2}n 2. It is observed that the reactive solvents result in different connectivity modes of ligand and diverse dimensional extension of crystal structures. The correlation between structure and magnetic property will be discussed in this paper.

Separation Behavior of U(VI) and Th(IV) on a Mixed Ion Exchange Column Using 2,6-Pyridine Dicarboxylic Acid as a Complexing Agent and Determination of Trace Level Thorium in Uranium Matrix Employing High Performance Ion Chromatography

Retention behavior of U(VI) and Th(IV) as their 2, 6-pyridine dicarboxylic acid (PDCA) complexes on reversed phase and ion exchange (cation, anion and mixed ion exchange) columns was studied and based on the results, a simple ion chromatography method for the determination of trace level thorium in uranium oxide using 0.075mM 2, 6-pyridine dicarboxylic acid (PDCA) and 1M KNO3 in 1.2M HNO3 as eluent (flow rate 1 mL/min)was proposed. The advantage of the developed method is that the separation of uranium matrix is not required prior to the ion chromatographic determination of trace Th. Separation was carried out on a mixed ion exchange stationary phase and a 10?4 M arsenazo (III) solution was used as post column reagent for detecting the separated metal ions. The separation of Th from uranium using PDCA in the present investigation is attributed through cation exchange mechanism. A calibration plot was constructed by following the standard addition method over the concentration range of 0.25 to 10 ppm of Th in the presence of uranium matrix, which resulted in a linear regression coefficient of 0.9978. The precision of the method was better than 5% and the LOD for Th was found to be 0.1ppm (S/N=3). The method has been validated by comparing the results with the results obtained from ICP-MS analysis where the This separated from the uranium matrix. The proposed method is simple, rapid, accurate and cost effective compared to techniques like ICP-MS or ICP-AES and is suitable for the routine kind of analysis.

Simple, Selective, and Sensitive Spectrophotometric Method for Determination of Trace Amounts of Nickel(Ⅱ), Copper (Ⅱ), Cobalt (Ⅱ), and Iron (Ⅲ) with a Novel Reagent 2-Pyridine Carboxaldehyde Isonicotinyl Hydrazone

A selective and sensitive reagent of 2-pyridine carboxaldehyde isonicotinyl hydrazone（2-PYAINH） was synthesized and studied for the spectrophotometric determination of nickel, copper, cobalt, and iron in detail. At a pH value of 7.0, 9,0, 9.0, and 8.0, respectively, which greatly increased the selectivity; nickel, copper, cobalt, and iron reacted with 2-PYAINH to form a 1：2 yellow-orange, 1：2 yellow-green, 1：2 yellow and 1：1 yellow complexes, with absorption peaks at 363, 352, 346, and 359 nm, respectively. Under the optimal conditions, Beer＇s law was obeyed over the ranges of 0.01-1.4, 0.01-1.5, 0.01-2.7, and 0.01-5.4 mg/L respectively. The apparent molar absorptivity and Sandell＇s sensitivities were 8.4×10^4, 5.2×10^4, 7.1×10^4, and 3.9×10^4 L·mol^-l·cm^-1, respectively, and 0.00069, 0.0012, 0.00078, and 0.0014 μg·cm2, respectively. The detection limits were found to be 0.001, 0.002, 0.003, and 0.01 mg/L, respectively. The detailed study of various interfering ions to make the method more sensitive was carried out and selective and several real samples were analyzed with satisfactory results.

A novel synthetic route for 2-[2-(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)phenoxy]ethanamine

2-[2-（2,2,2-Trifluoroethoxy）phenoxy]ethanamine is the key intermediate of Silodosin, the α1-adrenoceptor antagonist for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia. In order to obtain this intermediate, we developed a novel synthetic route by utilizing 2- nitrochlorobenzene as the starting material via O-alkylation, reduction, diazotization, acidolysis, etherification, condensation and hydrazinolysis. The highlight of this method lies on its convenience and economy in accessing this intermediate. 2007 Guo Hua Chert. Published by Elsevier B.V. on behalf of Chinese Chemical Society.

Colorimetric and electrochemical Pb^(2+) detection by imine-bridged tetrathiafulvalene-pyridine derivatives

Imine-bridged TTF-π-pyridine derivatives, 2NTTF, 3NTTF and 4NTTF, were synthesized and the cation-binding study was performed. It is noted that with the addition of the micromolar concentration of Pb2+ to the solution, these compounds display remarkable changes in solution color, 1H NMR spectra and electrochemical properties. The nitrogen atom of the imine-bridge in 2NTTF not only serves as a π-conjugated spacer but also participates in the sensing and coordinating properties.
