Variability of selectivity coefficients of solid-state ion-selective electrodes

The generalized model for the selectivity mechanism of solid-state ion-selective electrodes has been experimentally verified. The experimental parameters investigated were the concentration of interfering ion, temperature and stirring. Among the systems studied were electrodes sensitive to chloride (bromide, iodide), bromide (chloride, iodide), iodide (chloride, bromide), silver (copper, lead), copper (silver, lead) and lead (silver, copper), the species given in brackets being considered as the interferents. The model has been confirmed except for cases where the concentration of ions formed at the electrode surface by metathesis is too small to be the factor that dictates the electrode potential.

Catalysis of novel enzymatic iodide oxidation by fungal laccase

A fungal laccase (Myceliophthom thermophila) has been shown to function as an iodide oxidase. Unlike other halides which interact with the type 2 copper site and are inhibitors for the laccase, iodide interacts with the type 1 copper site and serves as a substrate capable of donating an electron to the laccase. Under anaerobic conditions, the interaction between the laccase and iodide results in the reduction of the laccase type 1 copper and the concomitant oxidation of iodide to form iodide. In aerated solutions, the laccase catalyzes the oxidation of iodide to iodine and the concomitant reduction of dioxygen to water. The reaction exhibits typical Michaelis kinetics with aK _m of 0.16 ± 0.02M and ak _cat of 2.7 ± 0.2 turnovers per min at the optimal pH (3.4). The catalysis can be enhanced by 2,2′-azino-bis-(3-ethylbenz-thiazoline-6-sulfonic acid), which shuttles electrons rapidly between iodide and the laccase. Bilirubin oxidase also demonstrates significant iodide oxidase activity, suggesting that the property could be a common feature for copper-containing oxidases. Possible industrial and medicinal applications for a laccase-based iodine production system are discussed.     

Preparation of an ion-selective electrode by chemical treatment of copper wire for the measurement of copper(II) and iodide by batch and flow-injection potentiometry

The preparation of an ion-selective electrode by chemical treatment of copper wire and its application for the measurements of copper (II) and iodide ions is described. The proposed reaction mechanism at the sensing surface, which explains the response of the electrode to Cu²⁺ and iodide ions, is discussed. The prepared electrode was suitable for direct potentiometric measurements of iodide and copper (II) in batch experiments down to concentrations of 1 × 10^–5 mol L^–1. A tubular electrode, prepared in the same way, may be used as a potentiometric sensor in a flow-injection analysis for Cu (II) and/or iodide determinations.

Promoting effect of iodide on the hexacyanomanganate(IV)-arsenic(III) redox reaction, for kinetic determination of iodide

The rate of the reaction between hexacyanomanganate(IV) and arsenic(III) in an acid medium is strongly accelerated by iodide. The reaction kinetics indicates that the iodide activity decreases throughout the reaction, probably because manganese(IV) oxidizes iodide to iodate (an inactive form). This behaviour is defined as promotion, rather than catalysis, and this rate-modifying effect has been used to determine iodide by a kinetic method. A linear calibration plot was obtained by a two-point fixed-time procedure. A detection limit of 0.2 ng/ml, a quantification limit of 0.6 ng/ml and relative standard deviations of 5.5 and 13% for the 6.7 and 0.6 ng/ml levels respectively have been found. Positive kinetic interferences from osmium(VIII) and iodate have been observed, and copper(II), silver(I) and mercury(II) inhibit the iodide activity by precipitaton. The method has been applied to determination of iodide in sodium arsenite (reagent grade) and table salt. The method has been validated by recovery experiments.     

Spectrophotometric determination of bismuth in copper and cartridge brass by the iodide method

An improved spectrophotometric method is proposed for the determination with iodide of trace amounts of bismuth in copper and cartridge brass. The sample is dissolved in nitric acid and the bismuth is separated from the copper by an ammoniacal precipitation in the presence of iron(III) hydroxide as a gathering agent. The hydroxide precipitate is dissolved in hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid is added, the solution is evaporated to a few ml, hydrobromic acid is added to volatilize the antimony and tin, and the solution is evaporated to fumes of sulfuric acid. The bismuth iodide color is then developed with a composite potassium iodide—sodium hypophosphite reagent. Factors affecting the bismuth iodide color are investigated.     

Heterocyclic carbene complexes of nickel, palladium, and copper(I) as effective catalysts for the reduction of ketones*

Carbene complexes of nickel, palladium, and copper(I) effectively catalyze the reduction of aromatic ketones under the influence of 2-propanol in the presence of potassium hydroxide. Bis(1,3-dimethylbenzimidazol-2-ylidene)copper(I) iodide and the polymeric complex of crown-biscarbene with copper(I) iodide show the highest catalytic efficiency.     

X-ray diffraction and STM study of reactive surfaces under electrochemical control: Cl and I on Cu(100)

The surface structure of Cu(100) modified by chloride and iodide has been studied in an electrochemical environment by means of in-situ scanning tunneling microscopy in combination with in-situ surface X-ray diffraction with a particular focus on adsorbate and potential dependent surface relaxation phenomena. For positive potentials close to the on-set of the copper dissolution reaction, the X-ray data disclose an extraordinarily large Cu-Cl bond length of 2.61 A for the c(2 x 2)-Cl phase. This finding points to a largely ionic character of the Cu-Cl interaction at the Cu(100) surface, with chloride particles likely to retain their full charge upon adsorption. Together with the positive surface charging at these high potentials, this ionic Cu-Cl bond drives the observed 2.2% outward relaxation between the first two copper layers. These results indicate that the bond between the first and the second copper layer is significantly weakened which appears as the crucial prerequisite for the high surface mobility of copper-chloride species under electrochemical annealing conditions at these high potentials. With 2.51 A the Cu-I bond is 4% shorter than the Cu-Cl bond implying that the nature of the Cu-I bond is mainly covalent. Accordingly, we observe a significant inward relaxation of the top Cu layers upon substituting chloride by iodide at the same electrode potential, which suggests that the iodide adsorption involves charge transfer from the halide to the copper substrate.     

Chlorine‐Free Pyrotechnics: Copper(I) Iodide as a “Green” Blue‐Light Emitter

The generation of blue‐light‐emitting pyrotechnic formulations without the use of chlorine‐containing compounds is reported. Suitable blue‐light emission has been achieved through the generation of molecular emitting copper(I) iodide. The most optimal copper(I) iodide based blue‐light‐emitting formulation was found to have performances exceeding those of chlorine‐containing compositions, and was found to be insensitive to various ignition stimuli.     

Rate enhanced olefin cross-metathesis reactions: the copper iodide effect

Copper iodide has been shown to be an effective cocatalyst for the olefin cross-metathesis reaction. In particular, it has both a catalyst stabilizing effect due to iodide ion, as well as copper(I)-based phosphine-scavenging properties that apply to use of the Grubbs-2 catalyst. A variety of Michael acceptors and olefinic partners can be cross-coupled under mild conditions in refluxing diethyl ether that avoid chlorinated solvents. This effect has also been applied to chemistry in water at room temperature using the new surfactant TPGS-750-M.

Synthesis of glucose-tagged triazolium ionic liquids and their application as solvent and ligand for copper(I) catalyzed amination

Glucose-linked 1,2,3-triazolium ionic liquids have been synthesized as a new class of chiral solvents by copper(I) catalyzed regioselective cycloaddition of a glucose azide with a glucose alkyne followed by quaternization with methyl iodide. The tagging of glucose to triazolium core makes these molecules act as reusable ligand and solvent in copper(I) catalyzed amination of aryl halides with aqueous ammonia. While the free hydroxyl groups of sugar help in stabilizing copper(I) species during the reaction thus acting as a ligand, the triazolium salt which makes it a liquid at room temperature serves as a reusable solvent. These chiral ionic liquids derived from low-cost natural sources can find utility in various transition-metal catalyzed reactions, and can be explored for asymmetric synthesis in future.     

Über fluoreszierende Verbindungen von Kupfer(I)-jodid mit aromatischen Stickstoffbasen

On Fluorescent Compounds of Copper(I) Iodide with Aromatic Nitrogenous Bases The easily obtainable compounds of copper(I) iodide with esters of nicotinic acid, with nicotinic acid amide and nitrile, as well as with quinoline, isoquinoline and quinaldine are strongly fluorescent in ultraviolet light. They are remarkably stable against water and air, compared with analogous picoline and lutidine compounds. Only in one case (nicotinic acid hexyl ester-copper(I) iodide) the phenomenon of fluorescence thermochromism has been observed.     

Catalytic determination of molybdenum(VI) by means of an iodide ion-selective electrode and a landolt-type hydrogen peroxide-iodide reaction

A trace amount of molybdenum(VI) can be determined by using its catalytic effect on the oxidation of iodide to iodine by hydrogen peroxide in acidic medium. Addition of ascorbic acid added to the reaction mixture produces the Landolt effect, i.e., the iodine produced by the indicator reaction is reduced immediately by the ascorbic add. Hence the concentration of iodide begins to decrease once all the ascorbic acid has been consumed. The induction period is measured by monitoring the concentration of iodide ion with an iodide ion-selective electrode. The reciprocal of the induction period varies linearly with the concentration of molybdenum(VI). The most suitable pH and concentrations of hydrogen peroxide and potassium iodide are found to be 1.5, 5 and 10mM, respectively. An appropriate amount of ascorbic acid is added to the reaction mixture according to the concentration of molybdenum(VI) in the sample solution. A calibration graph with good proportionality is obtained for the molybdenum(VI) concentration range from 0.1 to 160 μM. Iron(III), vanadium(IV), zirconium(IV), tungsten(VI), copper(II) and chromium(VI) interfere, but iron(III) and copper(II) can be masked with EDTA.     

Copper-sulfur interactions: synthesis and structure of a trigonal planar copper(I) complex with bis(diphenylthiophosphinyl)methane, [CuI(dppmS2)]·MeCN

Reaction of copper(I) iodide with 1,1-bis(diphenylthiophosphinyl)methane (dppmS₂) in a 1:1?mol ratio in acetonitrile yielded a complex of stoichiometry [CuI(dppmS₂)]·CH₃CN (1) whose X-ray structure determination has shown that the geometry around the copper center is nearly trigonal planar. Acetonitrile is nonbonded. Copper–sulfur bond distances are 2.2470(7) and 2.2591(7)?Å, while the copper–iodide bond distance is 2.4937(5)?Å. IR and NMR spectroscopic data also show the formation of copper–sulfur bonds. Lack of bridging by iodide led to the formation of a three-coordinate copper complex, as against the expected iodo-bridged dimeric complex with chelating dppmS₂.     

Determination of niacin and niacinamide in pharmaceutical products by automatic discrete-sample analysis

A spectrophotometric method is proposed for the determination of small amounts of iodide. The method is based on the reduction of bis(neocuproine)-coppcr(II) to the monovalent copper chelate cation in the aqueous phase by iodide ion and subsequent solvent extraction into chlorobenzene of the ion-pair formed between bis(neocuproine)copper(I) cation and the tri-iodide anion. At least a 5-fold molar amount of the copper(II) chelate cation, relative to iodide, is needed, and the optimal pH range is 3–5. The absorbance of the extract at 370 nm is a linear function of iodide concentration in the aqueous phase over the range 5·lO^-6–4·10^-5M (ca. 0.6–5 p.p.m.). The relative standard deviation was 1.0%. Large amounts of fluoride and chloride (2000-fold molar) and bromide (50-fold) did not appreciably affect the determination of iodide. The extraction mechanism is elucidated.     

Studies in metal sulphite chemistry—III

Manganese(II) iodide, iron(II) iodide and copper(I) iodide each react with tetramethylammonium disulphite to form anhydrous manganese(II) sulphite, iron(II) sulphite and copper(I) disulphite respectively. Iron(II) sulphite and copper(I) disulphite react with dimethylsulphoxide-sulphur dioxide to form iron(II) disulphate and copper(II) disulphate respectively. Hydrated sulphites of manganese(II), iron(II), magnesium(II) and calcium(II) were also prepared. The properties of the sulphites were investigated using thermogravimetric and IR measurements.     

Über das Fluoreszenzthermochrome Acetonitrilo-Kupferjodid mit Dibenzo-18-Krone-6

About the Fluorescence Thermochromism of Acetonitrile Copper Iodide with Dibenzo-18-Crown-6 Copper iodide reacts in actonitrile solution with dibenzo-18-crown-6 to form a compound,(CuJ)₄(CH₃CN)₄(db-18-c-6), which fluoresces yellow at 298K, but pink at 77 K. It decomposes at 55.3°C. (5 Torr) by lost of acetonitrile and a heterogeneous mixture of copper iodide and polyether results. In absence of dibenzo-18-crown-6, copper iodide forms with acetonitrile a heterogeneous mixture of copper iodide and polyether results. In absence of dibenzo-18-crown-6, copper iodide forms with acetonitrile a solvate CuJ. CH₃CN. It also shows fluorescence thermochromism (yellow at 298 K, but green at 77 k) but decomposes at 0°C and 760 Torr. The luminescences pectra of the macrocyclic polyether complex at 298 K is redshifted. This probably results from intersection between the crown and the acetonitrile copper iodide.
