This article reports the first perbromination of β-pyrrole and meso-phenyl groups of the 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(3',5'-dimethoxyphenyl)porphinato copper(II) to generate highly brominated porphyrin, 2,3,7,8,12,13,17,18-octabromo-5,10,15,20-tetrakis(2',6'-dibromo-3',5'-dimethoxyphenyl)-porphinato copper(II), CuT (3',5'- DMP ) PBr 16 complex. Its crystal structure exhibited unusual five-coordination geometry with saddle shaped conformation of the porphyrin core. H2T(3',5'- DMP ) PBr 16 and its metal complexes exhibited large anodic shift of oxidation potentials with marginal changes in reduction potentials relative to their corresponding octabromotetraphenylporphyrin, MTPPBr 8 derivatives. The enhanced electron deficiency of the ZnT (3',5'-DMP)PBr16 complex was probed by axial ligation of various Lewis bases with differing pK a values. The ZnT (3',5'-DMP)PBr16 complex exhibited decrease in equilibrium constants for the ligation of bases relative to sterically unhindered ZnTPPBr 8. This has been ascribed to the sterics induced by the bulky ortho-bromo phenyl substituents that prevents the facile binding of Lewis bases to the Zn (II)-center.

The oxidation of iodide in NaI-AlBr3, NaI-AlCl3, and NaI-GaCl3 molten salts was analyzed using simulation software to extract relevant kinetic parameters. The experimental oxidation potentials were ordered AlCl3 < AlBr3 < GaCl3, with higher oxidation potentials correlating with softer Lewis acidity of the metal halide. An iodide oxidation and metal halide speciation model was developed and simulated to fit the electrochemical response, enabling determination of electrochemical charge transfer parameters and chemical equilibrium constants. NaI-AlBr3 displayed the fastest electron transfer rates yet showed the lowest current densities. All salts revealed smaller than expected current densities, explained by equilibrium between various species, where some are not electrochemically active at the studied potentials. These equilibrium reactions are due to the various metal halide species, controlling the reactant concentration of iodide and the resultant current. We hypothesize the electrochemically active iodide species, present as a metal halide monomer (MX3I−), is decreased dramatically from the expected concentration, sequestered as a more stable metal halide dimer species (M2X6I−) with a higher oxidation potential. Traditional Tafel analysis of the experimental data supports the validity of the simulations. These results increase understanding of iodide oxidation in low-temperature Lewis acidic molten salts and inform task-specific molten salt design.

The composition, optical characteristics, molar absorption coefficients and equilibrium constants of the reactions of formation of the ML and ML2 complexes of both reagents with cadmium(II) ions were determined by graphical analysis and numerical interpretation of the absorbance-pH curves by the modified SQUAD-G program. Optimal conditions were proposed for the spectrophotometric determination of Cd in 10% v/v ethanol medium in the presence of 0.1% w/v Triton X-100 or 1% w/v Brij 35. BrPADAP and ClPADAP are the most sensitive spectrophotometric reagents for the determination of cadmium(II) ions (ε = 1.28-1.44 . 105 mmol-1 cm2 at 560 nm and pH 8.0-9.5) with a high colour contrast in the reaction (Δλmax ~117 nm) and a selectivity similar to that of other N-heterocyclic azodyes (PAR, PAN, etc.).

Kinetics have been studied of oxidation of (1-hydroxybenzyl)ferrocenes substituted in phenyl ring with bis(triphenylsilyl) chromate in benzene solutions as well as protonation of these alcohols in sulphuric acid medium. Logarithms of the oxidation rate constants (kobs, 20-40 °C) and those of the protonation equilibrium constants (KR+, 25 °C) show linear dependence on the Hammett σ constants, the ρ constant values being -0.86 to -0.40 and -2.50, respectively. These negative values suggest that the both processes are influenced by the same effects and confirm the mechanism proposed earlier for oxidation of alcohols with ferrocenyl substituent by action of bis(triphenylsilyl) chromate in aprotic solvents.

Extraction of microamounts of Sr2+ and Ba2+ (henceforth M2+) from the aqueous solutions of perchloric acid (0.0125-1.02 mol/l) by means of the nitrobenzene solutions of dicarbolide (0.004-0.05 mol/l of H+{Co(C2B9H11)2}-) was studied in the presence of monoglyme (only Ba2+), diglyme, triglyme, and tetraglyme (CH3O-(CH2-CH2O)nCH3, where n = 1, 2, 3, 4). The distribution of glyme betweeen the aqueous and organic phases, the extraction of the protonized glyme molecule HL+ together with the extraction of M2+ ion and of the glyme complex with the M2+ ion, i.e., ML2+ (where L is the molecule of glyme), were found to be the dominating reactions in the systems under study. In the systems with tri- and tetraglymes the extraction of H+ and M2+ ions solvated with two glyme molecules, i.e., the formation of HL2+ and ML22+ species, can probably play a minor role. The values of the respective equilibrium constants, of the stability constants of complexes formed in the organic phase, and the theoretical separation factors αBa/Sr were determined. The effect of the ligand structure on the values of extraction and stability constants in the organic phase is discussed.

Extraction of Eu3+ and Ce3+ microamounts from 0.1-0.4M perchloric acid by the nitrobenzene solution of dicarbolide H+[Co(C2B9H11)2]- in the presence of polyethylene glycols (Mr = 200, 300, 400) has been studied. The equilibrium data and the typical maxima on the dependence of the metal distribution ratio on the total analytical concentration of polyethylene glycol in the system can be explained assuming that the species ML3+org, ML3+2org, ML3+3org, MLH2+-1org, and HL+org (where M3+ = Eu3+, Ce3+; L = polyethylene glycol) are extracted into the organic phase. The values of extraction and equilibrium constants in the organic phase were determined and the effect of the polyethylene glycol molecular weight on the equilibrium constants and on the abundances of individual species in the organic phase is discussed. It has been found that the addition of polyethylene glycol to the acid - nitrobezene - dicarbolide system increases the values of the separation factors αCe/Eu.

The optical and acid-base characteristics of BrPADAP and ClPADAP were studied in mixed water-ethanol and water-DMF media and in 10% ethanol medium in the presence of cationic, anionic and nonionic tensides. The composition, optical characteristics, molar absorption coefficients and equilibrium constants of the ML and ML2 complexes with zinc(II) ions were found by graphical analysis and numerical interpretation of the absorbance curves by the modified SQUAD-G program. Optimal conditions were found for the spectrophotometric determination of Zn(II) in the presence of 0.1% Triton X-100 or 1% Brij 35 in alkaline media with pH = 6.5-10. BrPADAP and ClPADAP are the most sensitive reagents (ε = 1.3-1.6 . 105 mmol-1 cm2 at 557 and 560 nm, respectively) for the determination of zinc with high colour contrast of the reaction (Δλ = 104 nm) and selectivity similar to that for the other N-heterocyclic azodyes (PAN, PAR, etc.).

The reactions of sorbitol, mannitol, adonitol, dulcitol, glucose and glycerol with H3AsO4, H3AsO3, H3BO3 and GeO2 acids in dilute aqueous solutions were studied by potentiometric neutralization titrations. The formation of the following chelates was demonstrated: As(V)L3-, As(III)L(OH)2-, HAs(III)L(OH)2, BL2-, GeL2(OH)- and GeL32- and the equilibrium constants for their formation were found. Conditions for formation of these chelates of organic oligohydroxy compounds are discussed.
