Abstract
4-Chloro-2-methoxybenzoates of light lanthanides(III) were obtained as mono-, di-or trihydrates with metal to ligand ratio of 1:3 and general formula Ln(C8H6ClO3)3·nH2O, where n=1 for Ln=Ce, Pr, n=2 for Ln=Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd and n=3 for Ln=La. The complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectra, thermogravimetric studies, X-ray diffraction and magnetic measurements. The carboxylate group appears to be a symmetrical bidentate, chelating ligand. All complexes seem polycrystalline compounds. Their thermal stabilities were determined in air. When heated they dehydrate to form anhydrous salts which next are decomposed to the oxides of the respective metals. The solubilities of light lanthanide(III) 4-chloro-2-methoxybenzoates in water at 293 K are of the order of 10−5 mol dm−3. The magnetic moments were determined over the range of 77–300 K. They obey the Curie-Weiss law. The values of μeff calculated for all compounds are close to those obtained for Ln3+ by Hund and Van Vleck. The results indicate that there is no influence of the ligand field of 4f electrons on lanthanide ions and the metal ligand bonding is mainly electrostatic in nature.
Abstract
Novel magnesium oxo-fluoride supports containing different amounts of MgO, prepared by the sol–gel method have been proposed for the synthesis of gold catalysts. The MgF2–MgO supports have mesoporous structure and their surface area is a few times larger than those of pure MgF2 or pure MgO. Gold catalysts have been prepared by impregnation of the MgF2–MgO supports with HAuCl4 in the amount corresponding to 1 wt.% Au. The gold catalysts has been characterized by XRD, TEM measurements and the catalytic activity in CO oxidation at temperatures 30–300 °C have been performed. The Au/MgF2–MgO catalysts show higher activities (depending on the content of MgO in the support) as compared to Au/MgF2 and Au/MgO prepared under the same conditions. Their activities fall into the upper range of gold catalysts supported on other carrier reported in literature.
Abstract
Physico-chemical properties of 4-chloro-2-nitrobenzoates of Co(II), Ni(II), and Cu(II) were studied. The complexes were obtained as mono- and trihydrates with a metal ion to ligand ratio of 1:2. All analysed 4-chloro-2-nitrobenzoates are polycrystalline compounds with colours depending on the central ions: pink for Co(II), green for Ni(II), and blue for Cu(II) complexes. Their thermal decomposition was studied only in the range of 293–523 K, because it was found that on heating in air above 523 K 4-chloro-2-nitrobenzoates decompose explosively. Hydrated complexes lose crystallization water molecules in one step and anhydrous compounds are formed. The final products of their decomposition are the oxides of the respective transition metals. From the results it appears that during dehydration process no transformation of nitro group to nitrite takes place. The solubilities of analysed complexes in water at 293 K are of the order of 10–4–10–2 mol dm–3. The magnetic moment values of Co2+, Ni2+ and Cu2+ ions in 4-chloro-2-nitrobenzoates experimentally determined at 76–303 K change from 3.89 to 4.82 μB for Co(II) complex, from 2.25 to 2.98 μB for Ni(II) 4-chloro-2-nitrobenzoate, and from 0.27 to 1.44 μB for Cu(II) complex. 4-chloro-2-nitrobenzoates of Co(II), and Ni(II) follow the Curie–Weiss law. Complex of Cu(II) forms dimer.
