The influence of hydrochloric acid concentration, temperature, flow rate, flow direction, redox potential and bed height on the breakthrough characteristics was examined. Platinum was separately adsorbed mainly induced by hydrochloric acid concentration and redox potential keeping platinum as Pt-IV and ruthenium as Ru-III. Ruthenium was separately adsorbed to 90\% essentially induced by hydrochloric acid concentration, temperature and redox potential keeping platinum as Pt-IV and ruthenium predominantly as Ru-IV. Experimental data at optimised separation conditions were fitted to different kinetic models (Thomas, Yoon-Nelson, Bohart-Adams, Wolborska) to characterise the fixed bed column behaviour.

Values of (alpha CO2/CH4) around 7.5 for IFP-5 indicate that this material shows much better selectivities than IFP-1, IFP-2, IFP-3, IFP-4 and IFP-6 with slightly lower selectivity (alpha CO2/CH4) = 4-6. The preferred adsorption of CO2 over CH4 especially of IFP-5 and IFP-4 makes these materials suitable for gas separation application.}, language = {en} } @article{KammerStarkePietruchaetal.2012, author = {Kammer, Stefan and Starke, Ines and Pietrucha, Andreas and Kelling, Alexandra and Mickler, Wulfhard and Schilde, Uwe and Dosche, Carsten and Kleinpeter, Erich and Holdt, Hans-J{\"u}rgen}, title = {1,12-Diazaperylene and 2,11-dialkylated-1,12-diazaperylene iridium(III) complexes [Ir((CN)-N-boolean AND)(2)((NN)-N-boolean AND)]PF6: new supramolecular assemblies}, series = {Dalton transactions : a journal of inorganic chemistry, including bioinorganic, organometallic, and solid-state chemistry}, volume = {41}, journal = {Dalton transactions : a journal of inorganic chemistry, including bioinorganic, organometallic, and solid-state chemistry}, number = {34}, publisher = {Royal Society of Chemistry}, address = {Cambridge}, issn = {1477-9226}, doi = {10.1039/c2dt30412k}, pages = {10219 -- 10227}, year = {2012}, abstract = {A series of new monocationic iridium(III) complexes [Ir((CN)-N-boolean AND)(2)((NN)-N-boolean AND)]PF6 with "large-surface" alpha,alpha'-diimin ligands (NN)-N-boolean AND (dap = 1,12-diazaperylene, dmedap = 2,11-dimethyl-1,12-diazaperylene, dipdap = 2,11-diisopropyl-1,12-diazaperylene) and different cyclometalating ligands (CN)-N-boolean AND (piq = 1-phenylisoquinoline, bzq = benzo[h]quinoline, ppz = 1-phenylpyrazole, thpy = 2-(2-thienyl)pyridine, ppy = 2-phenylpyridine, meppy = 2-(4-methylphenyl)pyridine, dfppy = 2-(2,4-difluorophenyl)pyridine) were synthesized. The solid structures of the complexes [Ir(piq)(2)(dap)]PF6, [Ir(bzq)(2)(dap)]PF6, [Ir(ppy)(2)(dipdap)]PF6, [Ir(piq)(2)(dmedap)]PF6, [Ir(ppy)(2)(dap)]PF6 and [Ir(ppz)(2)(dap)]PF6 are reported. In [Ir(piq)(2)(dap)]PF6, the dap ligand and one of the piq ligands of each cationic complex are involved in pi-pi stacking interactions forming supramolecular channels running along the crystallographic c axis. In the crystalline [Ir(bzq)(2)(dap)]PF6 pi-pi stacking interactions between the metal complexes lead to the formation of a 2D layer structure. In addition, CH-pi interactions were found in all compounds, which are what stabilizes the solid structure. In particular, a significant number of them were found in [Ir(piq)(2)(dap)]PF6 and [Ir(bzq)(2)(dap)]PF6. The crystal structures of [Ir(ppy)(2)(dipdap)]PF6 and [Ir(ppy)(2)(dmedap)]PF6 are also presented, being the first examples of bis-cyclometalated iridium(III) complexes with phenanthroline-type alpha,alpha'-diimin ligands bearing bulky alkyl groups in the neighbourhood of the N-donor atoms. These ligands implicate a distorted octahedral coordination geometry that in turn destabilized the Ir-N-N boolean AND N bonds. The new iridium (III) complexes are not luminescent. All compounds show an electrochemically irreversible anodic peak between 1.15 and 1.58 V, which is influenced by the different cyclometalated ligands. All of the new complexes show two reversible successive one-electron "large-surface" ligand-centred reductions around -0.70 V and -1.30 V. Electrospray ionisation mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) and collision induced decomposition (CID) measurements were used to investigate the stability of the new complexes. Thereby, the stability agreed well with the order of the Ir-N-N boolean AND N bond lengths.}, language = {en} } @article{TraegerKlamrothKellingetal.2012, author = {Tr{\"a}ger, Juliane and Klamroth, Tillmann and Kelling, Alexandra and Lubahn, Susanne and Cleve, Ernst and Mickler, Wulfhard and Heydenreich, Matthias and M{\"u}ller, Holger and Holdt, Hans-J{\"u}rgen}, title = {Complexation of Palladium(II) with unsaturated Dithioethers a systematic development of highly selective ligands for solvent extraction}, series = {European journal of inorganic chemistry : a journal of ChemPubSoc Europe}, journal = {European journal of inorganic chemistry : a journal of ChemPubSoc Europe}, number = {14}, publisher = {Wiley-VCH}, address = {Weinheim}, issn = {1434-1948}, doi = {10.1002/ejic.201101406}, pages = {2341 -- 2352}, year = {2012}, abstract = {There is a demand for new and robust PdII extractants due to growing recycling rates.

We have modified unsaturated dithioethers, which are known to coordinate PdII, and adapted them to the requirements of industrial practice. The ligands are analogues of 1,2-dithioethene with varying electron-withdrawing backbones and polar end-groups. The crystal structures of several ligands and their palladium complexes were determined as well as their electro- and photochemical properties, complex stability and behaviour in solution. Solvent extraction experiments showed the superiority of some of our ligands over conventionally used extractants in terms of their very fast reaction rates.

For that, the extraction system has been further customised, including the choice of an appropriate diluent (1,2-dichlorobenzene) as well as an effective stripping agent (0.5 M thiourea in 0.1 M HCl), which both have been selected from a number of potential agents. It is shown in batch experiments that the selectivity for Pd(II) is maintained when the organic phase (10(-2) M 1,2-bis(2-methoxyethylthio)benzene in 1,2-dichlorobenzene) is used several times to extract an oxidising leach solution. According to the McCabe-Thiele plot two theoretical stages are needed to extract more than 98\% of the Pd(II) contained in that solution. The calculation of the thermodynamic quantities Delta H degrees. Delta S degrees and Delta G degrees reveals that the reaction is entropy driven - the temperature has only a slight influence on the extraction yield. It is demonstrated that the mono-oxidised extractant has a catalytic effect on the extraction kinetics when the aqueous phase contains highly concentrated hydrochloric acid. HPLC measurements prove the presence of small quantities of 1-(2-methoxyethylsulfinyl)-2-(2-methoxyethylthio) benzene in the organic phase.}, language = {en} }
