Hydrogen peroxide cobalt complexes

For this reaction, charcoal is a catalyst if this is omitted and hydrogen peroxide is used as the oxidant, a red aquopentammino-cobalt(lll) chloride, [Co(NH3)jH20]Cl3, is formed and treatment of this with concentrated hydrochloric acid gives the red chloro-p0itatnmino-coba. t(lll) chloride, [Co(NH3)5Cl]Cl2. In these latter two compounds, one ammonia ligand is replaced by one water molecule or one chloride ion it is a peculiarity of cobalt that these replacements are so easy and the pure products so readily isolated. In the examples quoted, the complex cobalt(III) state is easily obtained by oxidation of cobalt(II) in presence of ammonia, since... 

Chromium (ITT) can be analy2ed to a lower limit of 5 x 10 ° M by luminol—hydrogen peroxide without separating from other metals. Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) is added to deactivate most interferences. Chromium (ITT) itself is deactivated slowly by complexation with EDTA measurement of the sample after Cr(III) deactivation is complete provides a blank which can be subtracted to eliminate interference from such ions as iron(II), inon(III), and cobalt(II), which are not sufficiently deactivated by EDTA (275). 

Hydrogen Peroxide Analysis. Luminol has been used for hydrogen peroxide analysis at concentrations as low as 10 M using the cobalt(III) triethanolamine complex (280) or ferricyanide (281) as promoter. With the latter, chemiluminescence is linear with peroxide concentration from... 

The hexamine cobalt (II) complex is used as a coordinative catalyst, which can coordinate NO to form a nitrosyl ammine cobalt complex, and O2 to form a u -peroxo binuclear bridge complex with an oxidability equal to hydrogen peroxide, thus catalyze oxidation of NO by O2 in ammoniac aqueous solution. Experimental results under typical coal combusted flue gas treatment conditions on a laboratory packed absorber- regenerator setup show a NO removal of more than 85% can be maitained constant. 

During oxidation of tin(II) ions by hydrogen peroxide, iodine, bromine, mercury(ir) and thallium(III) the induced reduction of cobalt(in) complexes cannot be observed. Therefore, it was concluded that these reactions proceed by 2-equivalent changes in the oxidation states of the reactants. 

In another procedure [522] the sample of seawater (0.5-3 litres) is filtered through a membrane-filter (pore size 0.7 xm) which is then wet-ashed. The nickel is separated from the resulting solution by extraction as the dimethylglyoxime complex and is then determined by its catalysis of the reaction of Tiron and diphenylcarbazone with hydrogen peroxide, with spectrophotometric measurement at 413 nm. Cobalt is first separated as the 2-nitroso-1-naphthol complex, and is determined by its catalysis of the oxidation of alizarin by hydrogen peroxide at pH 12.4. Sensitivities are 0.8 xg/l (nickel) and 0.04 xg/l (cobalt). 

On the other hand, Tilley et al. have reported a synthesis of a well-defined tris(tert-butoxy)siloxy-iron(lll) complex [13] as well as respective molecular siloxide complexes of cobalt [14] and copper [15], which appear to become precursors for their grafting onto silica and application as catalysts for oxidation of alkanes, alkenes and arenes by hydrogen peroxide. 

Cobalt(ll)-EDTA complex, hydrogen peroxide determination, 628, 639 Cobalt(ll)-hexacyanoferrate, hydrogen peroxide determination, 651 Cobalt(lll)-phthalocyaninetetrasulfonate, hydroperoxide determination, 677 CocrystaUization, alkyl hydroperoxides-ether, 111, 113... 

Electrochemical (24) and chemical (25, 26) techniques have been utilized to investigate the kinetics and the mechanisms of the addition of dioxygen to a metal center, and to follow its subsequent reduction to hydrogen peroxide when catalyzed by cobalt(III) complexes of macro-cyclic amine ligands. Such complexes have also been involved in the general investigation of dioxygen addition to cobalt complexes (27,28). 

The [Con(bipy)2 ]2+ species has also been reported to activate hydrogen peroxide and ter -butyl hydroperoxide for the selective ketonization of methylenic carbons, the oxidation of alcohols and aldehydes, and the dioxygenation of aryl olefins and acetylenes (36). Later reports (37), however, while confirming that the cobalt complexes did indeed cata-... 

The resultant hydroxyl radicals are effective in initiating many chain reactions. The number of metal ions and complexes which are capable of activating hydrogen peroxide in this manner is quite large and is determined in part by the redox potentials of the activator. Related systems in which free radicals are generated by the intervention of suitable metallic catalysts include many in which oxygen is consumed in autoxidations. Cobalt(H) compounds which act as oxygen carriers can often activate radicals in such systems by reactions of the type ... 

This type of complex is derived from the mononuclear superoxo species via a further one-electron reduction of the dioxygen moiety. Cobalt is the only metal to form these complexes by reaction with dioxygen in the absence of a ligating porphyrin ring. Molybdenum and zirconium form peroxo-bridged complexes on reaction with hydrogen peroxide. In most cases the mononuclear dioxygen adducts of cobalt will react further to form the binuclear species unless specific steps are taken to prevent this. 

The following procedure is based on the reaction of an aqueous solution of cobalt(II) chloride with the equivalent amount of (2-aminoethyl)carbamic acid, followed by oxidation with hydrogen peroxide and the subsequent formation of bis(ethylene-diamine)cobalt(III) ions. The bis(ethylenediamine)cobalt(lII) species are converted to the carbonato complex by reaction with lithium hydroxide and carbon dioxide. During the entire preparation a vigorous stream of carbon dioxide is bubbled through the reaction mixture. This procedure appears to be essential in order to minimize the formation of tris(ethylenediamine)cobalt(III) chloride as a by-product. However, the formation of a negligible amount of the tris salt cannot be avoided. The crude salts have a purity suitable for preparative purposes. The pure salts are obtained by recrystallization from aqueous solution. 

A cobalt complex of transferrin has been prepared by addition of Co(II) citrate to the apoprotein. Hydrogen peroxide was added to obtain the absorption spectrum of cobalt transferrin, and susceptibility measurements showed that the metal ion was incorporated as diamagnetic Co (III) (142). 

The most obvious examples are in the preparation of octahedral Co(III) complexes. The most readily-available cobalt compounds are Co(II) salts in the presence of suitable ligands - usually N-donors - these are oxidised to give Co(III) complexes by air or hydrogen peroxide. A few such easily-prepared complexes open up pathways to the vast number of known octahedral Co(III) complexes via substitution reactions. For example, [Co(NH3)5(H20)]CI3 is readily converted into [Co(NH3)5X]Cl2 via anation reactions of the type discussed in Section 9.5, and salts containing the [Co(NH3)4(C03)]+ ion (where the carbonate is bidentate, taking up two cis positions) are useful for the formation of cw-[Co(NH3)4X2]+.
