Analytical chemistry greening

The potentiostatic technique discussed here involves the polarisation of a metal electrode at a series of predetermined constant potentials. Potentio-stats have been used in analytical chemistry for some time Hickling was the first to describe a mechanically controlled instrument and Roberts was the first to describe an electronically controlled instrument. Greene has discussed manual instruments and basic instrument requirements. 

An analytical chemistry team analyzed a green mineral salt found in the glaze of an ancient pot. When they heated the mineral it gave off a colorless gas that turned limewater milky white. When they dissolved the mineral in sulfuric acid the same colorless gas was released and a blue solution formed. Suggest a possible formula for the compound and justify your conclusion.

To overcome the unsatisfactory situation in the understanding the meaning of analytical chemistry at the end of the last century, an international competition was organized in 1992 by noted European analytical chemists and the Fresenius Journal of Analytical Chemistry to characterize analytical chemistry as an autonomous field of science by a topical and proper definition. The title of this competition was Analytical Chemistry - today s definition and interpretation and 11 out of 21 contributions were published in Fresenius J Anal Chem (Fresenius and Malissa [1992] Cammann [1992] Valcarcel [1992] Zuckerman [1992] Zhou Nan [1992] Koch [1992] Perez-Bustamante [1992] Ortner [1992] Danzer [1992] Green [1992] Stulik and Zyka [1992] Kuznetsov [1992]). 

Different opinions can be found about the status of analytical chemistry as being a branch of chemistry independent from other chemical disciplines or being a physical discipline (Green [ 1992]), or even being an autonomous science, occasionally called Analytics or Analytical Sciences. On the other hand, wide agreement can be stated about the aim to obtain information on matter via representative samples and the inclusion of structural information. Remarks on the general importance of analytical signals can be repeatedly found.

Manganous monoxide (MnO) is used for textile printing, ceramics, paints, colored (green) glass, bleaching, and fertilizers. It is also used as dietary supplement and reagent in analytical chemistry. 

We start with butane-2,3-dione dioxime, more commonly known as dimethylglyoxime (dmg). It is a classic reagent for the analysis of NP, the green aqueous solution of metal ions transforming into a vibrantly red precipitate of Ni(dmg)2 complex it is one of the stars of the show in Ponikvar and Liebman s analytical chemistry chapter in the current volume. Here the stereochemistry is well-established and well-known—both OH groups are found on the same side as their adjacent CH3 group on the butanedione backbone. There have been several measurements of the enthalpy of formation of this species for which we take the one associated with this inorganic analytical chemistry application, i.e. with diverse metal complexes and chelates . 

ILs have proved to be as media not only for potentially green synthesis, but also for novel applications in the analysis, where the unique properties of fhese liquid materials provide new options based on different chemical and physical properties. ILs can be applied not only in the existing methods where it is always needed to improve sensitivity and selectivity of the analysis, but their different behavior and properties can offer original solutions in chemical analysis and the search for new applications of ILs is growing in every area of chemistry including analytical chemistry. 

The approach in this book will be that of a tutorial providing an aid to the novice to enter the area that will include both new and senior scientists. Therefore, it is not expected to give a complete coverage of the literature in the area. Also time sets the limit and we had to stop on the middle of 2007. We do not expect that ILs will solve every problem in chemistry (in our case analytical chemistry), but our hope is to help find a proper area where the use of these materials could be the most advantageous. Thus, for ILs the future is bright and the future has to be green.

Nickel(II) complexes of 8-hydroxyquinoline, HL, are well known from the viewpoint of analytical chemistry. The brown, diamagnetic complex ML2 has cis square planar coordination (342). The same coordination occurs in C6H6 and CHC13 solutions. In water, pyridine or dioxane, this complex is green and paramagnetic, as is the solid hydrate NiL2-2H20.

The 12 principles of green chemistry proposed by Anastas and Warner1 address mainly aspects of synthetic chemistry the idea of green analytical chemistry was conceived only later.7-8 At first, it did not catch on, but as the green chemistry movement has gained in momentum, the green approach to analytical chemistry has become a key part of green chemistry. 

In accordance with the 12 principles of green chemistry, the actions to be taken to achieve a greener analytical chemistry are easily stated. The following are priority issues with regard to analytical procedures ... 

The next important challenge of green analytical chemistry is in-process monitoring. Developing and using in-line or on-line analyzers enable analytes to be determined in real time, and disturbances to be detected already in the initial steps of a process. This means of analysis provides rapid information and the opportunity for preventive measures to be taken—the process can be stopped or its operational parameters altered—with an overall improvement in efficiency. 

The following sections discuss recent advances in green analytical chemistry in the context of the whole analytical process, that is, from sample collection, sample preparation, to sample analysis, as well as the characteristics of some traditional methodologies that have always been environmentally benign but were never described as green. ... 

The application of green chemistry rules in the design of new analytical methods is the key to diminishing the adverse effects of analytical chemistry on the environment. The same ingenuity and innovation that were applied earlier to obtain excellent sensitivity, precision, and accuracy are now invoked to reduce or eliminate the application of hazardous substances in analysis.
