Ligands phosphonic acid

The phenylphosphonic acid 197 reacts with 5 equiv. of AgC104 to deliver the 1,2-oxa-phosphol-3-ene-2-oxide 198 in an 80% total yield of the Z- and E-isomers (Scheme 15.63) [127]. For related reactions, see also [128]. With a phosphonic acid and Hg(OAc)2, the mercurated intermediate, a 4-acetoxymercury l,2-oxaphosphol-3-ene and the corresponding chloride after ligand exchange were isolated [129]. 

Polyamino polyalkyl phosphonic acids have been investigated as potential complexors for alkaline earth metal complexes. Ligands investigated include nitrilotrimethylphosphonates (70),360 phosphoryl derivatives of polyamines (71)361 and monoalkylphosphonic acids.362 They show complexing capability towards Be2+, Mg24-, Ca2+, Sr24" and Ba, but are not as efficient... 

Functionalized polymers are of interest in a variety of applications including but not limited to fire retardants, selective sorption resins, chromatography media, controlled release devices and phase transfer catalysts. This research has been conducted in an effort to functionalize a polymer with a variety of different reactive sites for use in membrane applications. These membranes are to be used for the specific separation and removal of metal ions of interest. A porous support was used to obtain membranes of a specified thickness with the desired mechanical stability. The monomer employed in this study was vinylbenzyl chloride, and it was lightly crosslinked with divinylbenzene in a photopolymerization. Specific ligands incorporated into the membrane film include dimethyl phosphonate esters, isopropyl phosphonate esters, phosphonic acid, and triethyl ammonium chloride groups. Most of the functionalization reactions were conducted with the solid membrane and liquid reactants, however, the vinylbenzyl chloride monomer was transformed to vinylbenzyl triethyl ammonium chloride prior to polymerization in some cases. The reaction conditions and analysis tools for uniformly derivatizing the crosslinked vinylbenzyl chloride / divinyl benzene films are presented in detail. 

Subramanian and coworkers developed polymeric sorbents using different support materials (such as Merrifield chloromethylated resin, Amberlite XAD 16) and complexing ligands (amides, phosphonic acids, TTA), and evaluated their binding affinity for U(VI) over other diverse ions, even under high acidities. The practical utility of these sorbents was demonstrated using simulated waste solutions (220-222). Shamsipur et al. reported the solid-phase extraction of ultra trace U(VI) in natural waters using octadecyl silica membrane disks modified by TOPO (223). The method was found satisfactory for the extraction and determination of uranium from different water samples. 

Os(II) complexes having phosphonic acid derivatized bipyridyl ligands (Scheme 1) have also been studied. The phosphonic acid complexes exhibit stronger adsorption to the semiconductor surface, which offers some advantages in devices. The complexes [Os(dpb)3]2+, [(dpb)20s(Cl)2], and [(dpb)20s(CN)2] have been investigated by Zabri et al. [122]. The photophysical properties of the complexes are reported and a comparison of the performance of DSSCs is made relative to [(dcb)2Ru(SCN)2]. Remarkably, absorption into the spin forbidden Os to dpb MLCT absorption resulted in high efficiencies in the 600-700-nm spectral region. 

Amino-carboxylic and phosphonic acids are known to form open frameworks (i.e. porous materials), particularly with first-row transition metal ions. Lanthanide diphosphonates with 3D pillared-layer structure are also known and several classes of ligands such as sim-... 

Members of a second prominent group of mechanism-based inhibitors contain a peptide isostere, an element mimicking an intermediate formed during amide bond cleavage. Inhibitors of metalloproteases often contain a metal-chelating unit such as hydroxamate or phosphonic acids, which act as a bidentate ligand. 

It is possible to use ancillary ligands in addition to phosphonic acids in building up nanosized cluster compounds of late transition metal ions. Thus, the reaction of CuCl2 with tert-butylphosphonic acid in the presence of 3,5-dimethylpyrazole affords a dodecanuclear copper phosphonate with an interesting cage structure,3 Similarly, large vanadium phosphonate clusters with up to 18 vanadium atoms have been assembled from phosphonic acids.35... 

Although compounds of composition P(OR)3 are well known and are useful as ligands (Section 10-17) and in other ways, they are subject to the Arbuzov reaction with alkyl halides, which converts them to diesters of phosphonic acids ...
