Saccharified Uranyl Ions: Self-Assembly of UO₂ ²⁺ into Trinuclear Anionic Complexes by the Coordination of Glucosamine-Derived Schiff Bases.

ABSTRACT: The reaction of UO₂ (OAc)₂ ⋅ 2H₂ O with the biologically inspired ligand 2-salicylidene glucosamine (H₂ L¹ ) results in the formation of the anionic trinuclear uranyl complex [(UO₂ )₃ (μ₃ -O)(L¹ )₃ ]^2- (1^2- ), which was isolated in good yield as its Cs-salt, [Cs]₂ 1. Recrystallization of [Cs]₂ 1 in the presence of 18-crown-6 led to formation of a neutral ion pair of type [M(18-crown-6)]₂ 1, which was also obtained for the alkali metal ions Rb⁺ and K⁺ (M=Cs, Rb, K). The related ligand, 2-(2-hydroxy-1-naphthylidene) glucosamine (H₂ L² ) in a similar procedure with Cs⁺ gave the corresponding complex [Cs(18-crown-6)]₂ [(UO₂ )₃ (μ₃ -O)(L² )₃ ([Cs(18-crown-6)]₂ 2). From X-ray investigations, the [(UO₂ )₃ O(Lⁿ )₃ ]^2- anion (n=1, 2) in each complex is a discrete trinuclear uranyl species that coordinates to the alkali metal ion via three uranyl oxygen atoms. The coordination behavior of H₂ L¹ and H₂ L² towards UO₂ ²⁺ was investigated by NMR, UV/Vis spectroscopy and mass spectrometry, revealing the in situ formation of the 1^2- and 2^2- dianions in solution.

UO2 2+-mediated ring contraction of pyrihexaphyrin: synthesis of a contracted expanded porphyrin-uranyl complex.

Project description:A new mixed hexaphyrin, pyrihexaphyrin (0.1.0.0.1.0) (1), was prepared via an acid catalyzed cyclization between 5,5'-(pyridine-2,6-diyl)bis(pyrrole-2-carbaldehyde) (2) and terpyrrole (3). This expanded porphyrin undergoes a ring contraction upon metallation with uranyl silylamide [UO2[N(SiMe3)2]2] under anaerobic conditions followed by purification over basic aluminum oxide exposed to air. The uranyl-contracted pyrihexaphyrin (0.0.0.0.1.0) complex (4) produced as a result contains a unique structural architecture and possesses a formally 22 π-electron globally aromatic periphery, as inferred from NMR spectroscopy, single crystal X-ray diffraction, and computational analyses. Support for the proposed contraction mechanism came from experimental data and DFT calculations. Proton NMR and mass spectroscopic analysis provided the first insight into expanded porphyrin-mediated activation of the uranyl dication (UO2 2+).

Controllable Synthesis and Biological Application of Schiff Bases from d-Glucosamine and Terephthalaldehyde.

Project description:Theoretically, the two aldehydes of terephthalaldehyde (TPA) are equivalent, so the single or double Schiff base from TPA and d-glucosamine (Glc) may be formed at the same time. However, it is preferred to produce separately a single Schiff base (L1 ) or double Schiff base (L2 ) for different synthesis systems of anhydrous methanol or water-methanol. We calculated the Δr G of the formation of compounds L1 and L2 by density functional theory (DFT). In an anhydrous methanol system, the Δr G values of L1 and L2 are both below zero and L2 is lower, suggesting the spontaneous formation of the two Schiff bases. Though adjusting the molar ratio of Glc to TPA, L1 and L 2 both were separately formed in anhydrous methanol. However, in the water-methanol system, L2 was absent, which is most likely due to higher Δr G (4.95 eV) and better water solubility. The results also exhibits that the positive charge of C in -CHO for TPA is smaller in a mixed solvent than that in methanol, which confirms that the nucleophilic reaction of the Schiff base is more difficult in a mixed solvent. Therefore, we could realize to control the synthesis of a pure single or double Schiff base from Glc and TPA by adjusting the molar ratio and solvent. The as-prepared two kinds of Schiff bases have strong optical properties, high bacteriostatic activity, and can be used as fluorescent probes for tumor cell imaging.

Synthesis, Structural Investigations, Molecular Docking, and Anticancer Activity of Some Novel Schiff Bases and Their Uranyl Complexes.

Project description:Three novel 2-aminopyrazine Schiff bases derived from salicylaldehyde derivatives and their uranyl complexes were synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, UV-vis, FTIR, molar conductance, and thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA). The proposed structures were optimized using density functional theory (DFT/B3LYP) and 6-311G ∗(d,p) basis sets. All uranyl complexes are soluble in DMSO and have low molar conductance, which indicates that all the complexes are nonelectrolytes. The DNA binding of those Schiff bases and their uranyl complexes was studied using UV-vis spectroscopy, and screening of their ability to bind to calf thymus DNA (CT-DNA) showed that the complexes interact with CT-DNA through an intercalation mode, for which the Kb values ranged from 1 × 106 to 3.33 × 105 M-1. The anticancer activities of the Schiff base ligands and their uranyl complexes against two ovarian (Ovcar-3) and melanoma cell lines (M14) were investigated, and the results indicated that uranyl complexes exhibit better results than the Schiff base ligands. Molecular docking identified the distance, energy account, type, and position of links contributing to the interactions between these complexes and two different cancer proteins (3W2S and 2OPZ).

"Bottled" spiro-doubly aromatic trinuclear [Pd2Ru]+ complexes.

Project description:Following an ongoing interest in the study of transition metal complexes with exotic bonding networks, we report herein the synthesis of a family of heterobimetallic triangular clusters involving Ru and Pd atoms. These are the first examples of trinuclear complexes combining these nuclei. Structural and bonding analyses revealed both analogies and unexpected differences for these [Pd2Ru]+ complexes compared to their parent [Pd3]+ peers. Noticeably, participation of the Ru atom in the π-aromaticity of the coordinated benzene ring makes the synthesized compound the second reported example of 'bottled' double aromaticity. This can also be referred to as spiroaromaticity due to the participation of Ru in two aromatic systems at a time. Moreover, the [Pd2Ru]+ kernel exhibits unprecedented orbital overlap of Ru d z 2 AO and two Pd d xy or d x 2-y 2 AOs. The present findings reveal the possibility of synthesizing stable clusters with delocalized metal-metal bonding from the combination of non-adjacent elements of the periodic table which has not been reported previously.

Trinuclear NiII-LnIII-NiII Complexes with Schiff Base Ligands: Synthesis, Structure, and Magnetic Properties.

Project description:The reaction of the Schiff base ligand o-OH-C6H4-CH=N-C(CH2OH)3, H4L, with Ni(O2CMe)2∙4H2O and lanthanide nitrate salts in a 4 : 2 : 1 ratio lead to the formation of the trinuclear complexes [Ni2Ln(H3L)4(O2CMe)2](NO3) (Ln = Sm (1), Eu (2), Gd (3), Tb (4)). The complex cations contain the strictly linear NiII-LnIII-NiII moiety. The central LnIII ion is bridged to each of the terminal NiII ions through two deprotonated phenolato groups from two different ligands. Each terminal NiII ion is bound to two ligands in distorted octahedral N2O4 environment. The central lanthanide ion is coordinated to four phenolato oxygen atoms from the four ligands, and four carboxylato oxygen atoms from two acetates which are bound in the bidentate chelate mode. The lattice structure of complex 4 consists of two interpenetrating, supramolecular diamond like lattices formed through hydrogen bonds among neighboring trinuclear clusters. The magnetic properties of 1-4 were studied. For 3 the best fit of the magnetic susceptibility and isothermal M(H) data gave JNiGd = +0.42 cm-1, D = +2.95 cm-1 with gNi = gGd = 1.98. The ferromagnetic nature of the intramolecular Ni···Gd interaction revealed ground state of total spin S = 11/2. The magnetocaloric effect (MCE) parameters for 3 show that the change of the magnetic entropy (-ΔSm) reaches a maximum of 14.2 J kg-1 K-1 at 2 K. A brief literature survey of complexes containing the NiII-LnIII-NiII moiety is discussed in terms of their structural properties.

K2x Sn4-x S8-x (x = 0.65-1): a new metal sulfide for rapid and selective removal of Cs+, Sr2+ and UO22+ ions.

Project description:The fission of uranium produces radionuclides, 137Cs and 90Sr, which are major constituents of spent nuclear fuel. The half-life of 137Cs and 90Sr is nearly 30 years and thus that makes them harmful to human life and the environment. The selective removal of these radionuclides in the presence of high salt concentrations from industrial nuclear waste is necessary for safe storage. Here we report the synthesis and crystal structure of K2x Sn4-x S8-x (x = 0.65-1, KTS-3) a material which exhibits excellent Cs+, Sr2+ and UO22+ ion exchange properties in varying conditions. The compound adopts a layered structure which consists of exchangeable potassium ions sandwiched between infinite layers of octahedral and tetrahedral tin centers. K2x Sn4-x S8-x (x = 0.65-1, KTS-3) crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c with cell parameters a = 13.092(3) Å, b = 16.882(2) Å, c = 7.375(1) Å and β = 98.10(1)°. Refinement of the single crystal diffraction data revealed the presence of Sn vacancies in the tetrahedra that are long range ordered. The interlayer potassium ions of KTS-3 can be exchanged for Cs+, Sr2+ and UO22+. KTS-3 exhibits rapid and efficient ion exchange behavior in a broad pH range. The distribution coefficients (Kd) for KTS-3 are high for Cs+ (5.5 × 104), Sr2+ (3.9 × 105) and UO22+ (2.7 × 104) at neutral pH (7.4, 6.9, 5.7 ppm Cs+, Sr2+ and UO22+, respectively; V/m ∼ 1000 mL g-1). KTS-3 exhibits impressive Cs+, Sr2+ and UO22+ ion exchange properties in high salt concentration and over a broad pH range, which coupled with the low cost, environmentally friendly nature and facile synthesis underscores its potential in treating nuclear waste.

The oxidation of Schiff bases of pyridoxamine with -oxo acids by manganous ions and peroxidase.

Project description:1. Oxygen was taken up rapidly when pyruvate was added to mixtures of pyridoxamine and Mn(2+) ions after lag periods that were shortened by peroxidase (donor-hydrogen peroxide oxidoreductase, EC 1.11.1.7). 2. The total oxygen uptake was proportional to the pyridoxamine added and was accompanied by the disappearance of pyridoxamine; the pyruvate acted catalytically and hydrogen peroxide was not formed. 3. At pH6 more than half the pyridoxamine that disappeared was accounted for as pyridoxal and ammonia; it is suggested that the primary reaction is the oxidative deamination of the pyridoxamine. 4. Results were similar when alpha-oxobutyrate or glyoxylate were substituted for pyruvate, except that the reactions were slower and the yield of pyridoxal less. 5. The oxidative decarboxylations of alpha-oxoglutarate and phenylpyruvate are catalysed by Mn(2+) ions and these reactions are activated by peroxidase; pyridoxamine increased both the rates and total oxygen uptakes in these reactions, and ammonia was produced. 6. The lag periods in the oxidation of mixtures of pyridoxamine and alpha-oxo acids, catalysed by Mn(2+) ions, were also shortened by traces of colloidal manganese dioxide. 7. It is suggested that the activating effect of peroxidase depends on its catalysis of manganese oxidation.

Fast selective homogeneous extraction of UO22+ with carboxyl-functionalised task-specific ionic liquids.

Project description:The carboxyl-functionalised task-specific ionic liquid of 1-carboxymethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethyl-sulfonyl)imide ([HOOCmim][NTf2]) was used as solvent and extractant for UO22+ extraction from aqueous solution. A homogeneous phase of [HOOCmim][NTf2]-H2O system could be achieved at 75 °C, and 86.8 ± 4.8% of UO22+ was separated from the aqueous solution after vibrating for only 1 min. Furthermore, nearly 97.3 ± 2.9% of UO22+ was stripped from [HOOCmim][NTf2] phase by 1 M HNO3 solution. K+, Na+, Mg2+, Dy3+, La3+, and Eu3+ have little influence on the homogeneous extraction of UO22+, and the extraction efficiency of UO22+ still remained at ca. 80%. Experimental and theoretical study on the selectivity of [HOOCmim][NTf2]-H2O system were performed for the first time. Density functional theory calculation indicates that the solvent effect plays a significant role on the selectivity of [HOOCmim][NTf2]-H2O.

Exploring the Change in Redox Reactivity of UO2 Induced by Exposure to Oxidants in HCO3- Solution.

Project description:Understanding the possible change in UO2 surface reactivity after exposure to oxidants is of key importance when assessing the impact of spent nuclear fuel dissolution on the safety of a repository for spent nuclear fuel. In this work, we have experimentally studied the change in UO2 reactivity after consecutive exposures to O2 or γ-radiation in aqueous solutions containing 10 mM HCO3-. The experiments show that the reactivity of UO2 toward O2 decreases significantly with time in a single exposure. In consecutive exposures, the reactivity also decreases from exposure to exposure. In γ-radiation exposures, the system reaches a steady state and the rate of uranium dissolution becomes governed by the radiolytic production of oxidants. Changes in surface reactivity can therefore not be observed in the irradiated system. The potential surface modification responsible for the change in UO2 reactivity was studied by XPS and UPS after consecutive exposures to either O2, H2O2, or γ-radiation in 10 mM HCO3- solution. The results show that the surfaces were significantly oxidized to a stoichiometric ratio of O/U of UO2.3 under all the three exposure conditions. XPS results also show that the surfaces were dominated by U(V) with no observed U(VI). The experiments also show that U(V) is slowly removed from the surface when exposed to anoxic aqueous solutions containing 10 mM HCO3-. The UPS results show that the outer ultrathin layer of the surfaces most probably contains a significant amount of U(VI). U(VI) may form upon exposure to air during the rinsing process with water prior to XPS and UPS measurements.
