In a systematic approach we synthesized a new series of fluorescent probes incorporating donoracceptor (D-A) substituted 1,2,3-triazoles as conjugative -linkers between the alkali metal ion receptor N-phenylaza-[18]crown-6 and different fluorophoric groups with different electron-acceptor properties (4-naphthalimide, meso-phenyl-BODIPY and 9-anthracene) and investigated their performance in organic and aqueous environments (physiological conditions). In the charge-transfer (CT) type probes 1, 2 and 7, the fluorescence is almost completely quenched by intramolecular CT (ICT) processes involving charge-separated states. In the presence of Na+ and K+ ICT is interrupted, which resulted in a lighting-up of the fluorescence in acetonitrile. Among the investigated fluoroionophores, compound 7, which contains a 9-anthracenyl moiety as the electron-accepting fluorophore, is the only probe which retains light-up features in water and works as a highly K+/Na+-selective probe under simulated physiological conditions. Virtually decoupled BODIPY-based 6 and photoinduced electron transfer (PET) type probes 35, where the 10-substituted anthracen-9-yl fluorophores are connected to the 1,2,3-triazole through a methylene spacer, show strong ion-induced fluorescence enhancement in acetonitrile, but not under physiological conditions. Electrochemical studies and theoretical calculations were used to assess and support the underlying mechanisms for the new ICT and PET 1,2,3-triazole fluoroionophores.
Liquid membrane permeation of zinc, cadmium and nickel with 4-acyl-5-pyrazolones and ß-diketones

First studies of electron transfer in [N]phenylenes were performed in bimolecular quenching reactions of angular [3]- and triangular [4]phenylene with various electron acceptors. The relation between the quenching rate constants k(q) and the free energy change of the electron transfer (Delta G(CS)(0)) could be described by the Rehm- Weller equation. From the experimental results, a reorganization energy lambda of 0.7 eV was derived. Intramolecular electron transfer reactions were studied in an [N]phenylene bichomophore and a corresponding reference compound. Fluorescence lifetime and quantum yield of the bichromophor display a characteristic dependence on the solvent polarity, whereas the corresponding values of the reference compound remain constant. From the results, a nearly isoenergonic charge separation process can be determined. As the triplet quantum yield is nearly independent of the polarity, charge recombination leads to the population of the triplet state.
Liquid-Liquid-Extraction of copper from ammoniacal solution with cyclohexyl substituted ß-diketones
(1993)
A series of new heteroleptic MN2S2 transition metal complexes with M = Cu2+ for EPR measurements and as diamagnetic hosts Ni2+, Zn2+, and Pd2+ were synthesized and characterized. The ligands are N2 = 4, 4'-bis(tert-butyl)-2, 2'-bipyridine (tBu2bpy) and S2 =1, 2-dithiooxalate, (dto), 1, 2-dithiosquarate, (dtsq), maleonitrile-1, 2-dithiolate, or 1, 2-dicyanoethene-1, 2-dithiolate, (mnt). The CuII complexes were studied by EPR in solution and as powders, diamagnetically diluted in the isostructural planar [NiII(tBu2bpy)(S2)] or[PdII(tBu2bpy)(S2)] as well as in tetrahedrally coordinated[ZnII(tBu2bpy)(S2)] host structures to put steric stress on the coordination geometry of the central CuN2S2 unit. The spin density contributions for different geometries calculated from experimental parameters are compared with the electronic situation in the frontier orbital, namely in the semi-occupied molecular orbital (SOMO) of the copper complex, derived from quantum chemical calculations on different levels (EHT and DFT). One of the hosts, [NiII(tBu2bpy)(mnt)], is characterized by X-ray structure analysis to prove the coordination geometry. The complex crystallizes in a square-planar coordination mode in the monoclinic space group P21/a with Z = 4 and the unit cell parameters a = 10.4508(10) angstrom, b = 18.266(2) angstrom, c = 12.6566(12) angstrom, beta = 112.095(7)degrees. Oxidation and reductions potentials of one of the host complexes, [Ni(tBu2bpy)(mnt)], were obtained by cyclovoltammetric measurements.
Based on a study of the German Ministry of Research and Technology in 1990 every year about 2.5 t of heavy metals are released per hectare of landfill by aqueous leaching. This leachate contains approximately 2000 t of heavy metals per year. Their decontaminations in accordance with the legal requirements represent an enormous potential for easing the burden on the environment. On the other hand, this potential opens new possibilities in the production and recycling of selected compounds. The composition of a given model solution corresponds to a landfill leachate resulting from a municipal dump leachate produced by an average German city. Actually, in most cases, a decontamination of such solutions occurs by the transfer of the problematic cations into insoluble compounds usually done by precipitation. The result of the procedure is an unspecific separation of all liquid components - and the "cycle of waste" (landfill- leaching-deposition) begins anew, certainly on a higher level. The objective of our work is the simultaneous separation of heavy metals from alkaline earth metals and iron in order to obtain a leachate which we can lead back to the landfill. The reactive extraction as a separation process offers the possibility of a selective separation of cations that is the separation of toxic - from unproblematic components and includes also the possibility of electrolysis or further winning processes to obtain the wished metals. For the realisation of extraction processes, several commercial extractants and technical equipments are available. Apart from iron, LIX 54 could be used advantageously for an extraction process - unfortunately without any considerable extraction of cadmium. But it is favourable to separate non toxic alkaline earth metals from problematic heavy metals. Such a complex task as the separation of cations from natural solutions cannot be solved easily in a one-step-extraction process. Better results should be obtained by the combination of different procedures, e.g. extraction, ion-exchange and precipitation.
Toxic heavy metals are extracted simultaneously by reactive liquid-liquid-extraction from a model landfill leachate. This is taken as an example to generate an unproblematic waste water. Alkylphosphoric acids (commercial D2EHPA and D2EHTPA), ß-diketones, 4-Acyl-5-pyrazolones and a novel commercial alkyl-methyl-phosphonic acid are used as extractants. By means of the functions E%=f (pH, t) and lg D=f (pH, cL) some thermodynamic parameters of the extraction are determined. In the case of the alkylthiophosphoric acid the thiophilic cations are extracted advantageously in contrast to chromium, magnesium or calcium. There is no significant separation between the heavy metals and the alkaline earth metals. The complexes are extracted with the composition ML(HL)n. According to their ligand force, the presence of complexing agents in the aqueous phase (for example cyanide, tartrate, ammonia or chloride) hinders the extraction. The influence of humic acid is comparable to that of tartaric acid. Because of the formation of less soluble compounds, sulphate ions make the extraction of calcium more difficult. The extraction data points out that aromatic or chloric solvents are not advantageous in contrast to the non toxic aliphatic hydrocarbons. With the novel aminomethylphosphonic acid (ironex, BASF) the extraction of iron, indium and gallium is possible at a pH > 1.5 as ML2(HL) and ML(HL)2 resp. Copper and zinc were extracted quantitatively as 1:2 complexes only in a small pH-range between 4 to 6. Generally, the best results were found for the ß-diketones (LIX 54 included) and 4-acyl-5-pyrazolones. In these cases the toxic heavy metals could be separated quantitatively. Only 6% of calcium and 23% of magnesium are coextracted by the ligands. The extraction process can further be optimized by synergistic effects.
Am Beispiel eines modellierten Deponiesickerwassers wird die Möglichkeit einer simultanen Reaktivextraktion von toxischen Schwermetallen aus einer unproblematischen Matrix vorgestellt. Als Extraktionsmittel werden vergleichend Alkylphosphorsäuren (kommerzielle D2EHPA, D2EHTPA), ß-Diketone, 4-Acylpyrazol-5-one und eine neuartige kommerzielle Alkylphosphonsäure eingesetzt. Die thermodynamischen Parameter der Extraktion lassen sich mit Hilfe der Funktionen %E = f( t, pH), lg D = f ( pH, cL) bestimmen. Einflüsse von Lösungsmitteln und konkurrierende Komplexbildner in der wäßrigen Phase auf das Verteilungsgleichgewicht werden diskutiert. Inhaltsstoffe der wäßrigen Phase (Cyanid, Tartrat, Ammoniak, Huminsäuren oder Chlorid) beeinflussen entsprechend ihrer Ligandstärke die Metallabtrennung. Für den Fall der Huminsäure wird eine Größenordnung von Weinsäure gefunden. Sulfationen erschweren zusätzlich die Extraktion von Calcium. Halogenierte und aromatische Verdünnungsmittel haben gegenüber unproblematischen Kohlenwasserstoffen keinen Vorteil. Mit Aminomethylphosphonsäure (Ironex, BASF) gelingt eine quantitative Eisen, Indium- und Galliumabtrennung bei einem pH-Wert kleiner 1.5 als ML2(HL) bzw. ML(HL)2. Kupfer und Zink werden im pH-Bereich von 4-6 quantitativ als 1:2- Komplex extrahiert. Insgesamt günstige Ergebnisse zeigen die ß-Diketone (auch LIX 54) und 4-Acylpyrazol-5-one. Hier ergibt sich die Möglichkeit toxische Schwermetalle selektiv abzutrennen und eine unproblematische Matrix zu gewinnen, da Calcium nur zu 6% und Magnesium zu 23% extrahiert werden.
Fluoroionophores of fluorophore-spacer-receptor format were prepared for detection of PdCl2 by fluorescence enhancement. The fluorophore probes 1-13 consist of a fluorophore group, in alkyl spacer and a dithiomaleonitrile PdCl2 receptor. First, varying the length of the alkylene spacer (compounds 1-3) revealed, dominant through-space pathway for oxidative photoinduced electron transfer (PET) in CH2-bridged dithiomaleonitrile fluoroionophores. Second. fluorescent probes 4-9 containing two anthracene or pyrene fragments connected through CH2 bridges to the dithiomaleonitrile unit were synthesized. Modulation of the oxidation potential (E-Ox) through electron-withdrawing or -donating groups on the anthracene moiety regulates file thermodynamic driving force for oxidative PET (Delta G(PET)) in bis(anthrylmethylthio)maleonitriles and therefore the fluorescence quantum yields (Phi(f)), too. The new concept was confirmed and transferred to pyrenyl ligands, and fluorescence enhancements (FE) greater than 3.2 in the presence of PdCl2 were achieved by 7 and 8 (FE=5.4 and 5.2). Finally, for comparison, monofluorophore ligands 10-13 were synthesized.

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.
