Nickel organic complexation

SYNTHESIS OF NICKEL-ORGANIC COMPLEXES GRAFTED ON THE SURFACE OF SiO AS CATALYSTS FOR ETHYLENE OLIGOMERIZATION REACTION... 

Heavy Metals. Heavy metals of particular concern in the treatment of wastewaters include copper, chromium, 2inc, cadmium, mercury, lead, and nickel. They are usually present in the form of organic complexes, especially in wastewaters generated from textiles finishing and dye chemicals manufacture. 

Generally, most asphalts are 79—88 wt % C, 7—13 wt % H, trace-8 wt % S, 2—8 wt % O, and trace-3 wt % N (Table 7). Trace metals such as iron, nickel, vanadium, calcium, titanium, magnesium, sodium, cobalt, copper, tin, and 2inc, occur in cmde oils. Vanadium and nickel are bound in organic complexes and, by virtue of the concentration (distillation) process by which asphalt is manufactured, are also found in asphalt. 

No. 6 fuel oil contains from 10 to 500 ppm vanadium and nickel in complex organic molecules, principally porphyrins. These cannot be removed economically, except incidentally during severe hydrodesulfurization (Amero, Silver, and Yanik, Hydrode.suljurized Residual Oils as Gas Turbine Fuels, ASME Pap. 75-WA/GT-8). Salt, sand, rust, and dirt may also be present, giving No. 6 a typical ash content of 0.01 to 0.5 percent by weight. 

A similar catalytic dimerization system has been investigated [40] in a continuous flow loop reactor in order to study the stability of the ionic liquid solution. The catalyst used is the organometallic nickel(II) complex (Hcod)Ni(hfacac) (Hcod = cyclooct-4-ene-l-yl and hfacac = l,l,l,5,5,5-hexafluoro-2,4-pentanedionato-0,0 ), and the ionic liquid is an acidic chloroaluminate based on the acidic mixture of 1-butyl-4-methylpyridinium chloride and aluminium chloride. No alkylaluminium is added, but an organic Lewis base is added to buffer the acidity of the medium. The ionic catalyst solution is introduced into the reactor loop at the beginning of the reaction and the loop is filled with the reactants (total volume 160 mL). The feed enters continuously into the loop and the products are continuously separated in a settler. The overall activity is 18,000 (TON). The selectivity to dimers is in the 98 % range and the selectivity to linear octenes is 52 %. 

It is well-established that electroreduced nickel(I) complexes of cyclam and a variety of substituted cyclams add oxidatively to alkyl halides to give alkylnickel(III) complexes in organic solvents,251,276 the lifetime of the carbon-nickel bond governing the overall behavior of the system. However, it was shown that [Ni (tmc)]+ (one-electron reduced form of complex (17) tmc= 1,4,8,11-teramethyl 1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane) reacts with alkyl chlorides in aqueous alkaline solution in a one-electron process.277,278... 

Armannsson [659] has described a procedure involving dithizone extraction and flame atomic absorption spectrometry for the determination of cadmium, zinc, lead, copper, nickel, cobalt, and silver in seawater. In this procedure 500 ml of seawater taken in a plastic container is exposed to a 1000 W mercury arc lamp for 5-15 h to break down metal organic complexes. The solution is adjusted to pH 8, and 10 ml of 0.2% dithizone in chloroform added. The 10 ml of chloroform is run off and after adjustment to pH 9.5 the aqueous phase is extracted with a further 10 ml of dithizone. The combined extracts are washed with 50 ml of dilute ammonia. To the organic phases is added 50 ml of 0.2 M-hydrochloric acid. The phases are separated and the aqueous portion washed with 5 ml of chloroform. The aqueous portion is evaporated to dryness and the residue dissolved in 5 ml of 2 M hydrochloric acid (solution A). Perchloric acid (3 ml) is added to the organic portion, evaporated to dryness, and a further 2 ml of 60% perchloric acid added to ensure that all organic matter has been... 

As the world s known crude oil reserves diminish, we are confronted with the prospect of treating progressively less desirable crude oils. These materials contain high levels (typically several percent) of organic sulfur and nitrogen, as well as organically complexed vanadium and nickel at the level of...

At the time of our investigation the only known coordination compounds of chlorophosphines (aside from phosphorus trichloride complexes) were the nickel-(0) compounds, tetrakis(methyldichlorophosphine)nickel-(0) (20) and tetrakis-phenyldichlorophosphine) nickel- (0) (17). Tetrakis (methyldichlorophosphine) -nickel-(0) is noteworthy in that it represents a still rare example of the direct reaction of a ligand with an elemental transition metal to give a complex, while tetrakis (phenyldichlorophosphine) nickel- (0), like tetrakis (trichlorophosphine) -nickel-(0), was obtained readily via the carbonyl. AD chlorophosphine-nickel-(O) complexes, including the phosphorus trichloride complex, Ni(PCl3)4, are compounds relatively stable in the atmosphere, but show poor stability in almost any organic solvent, even under strictly anaerobic conditions. 

Tetrakis(phenyldifluorophosphine)nickel-(0) could also be obtained, using arsenic trifluoride in the presence of catalytic amounts of antimony pentachloride, or zinc fluoride as fluorinating agents. Yields as high as 50% could be obtained, but sizable decomposition on the process of fluorination of the chlorophosphine nickel-(0) complexes in solution could not be entirely suppressed. The marked instability of zerovalent nickel-phosphine complexes in solution in organic solvents, even under strictly anhydrous and anaerobic conditions, has been noted by several workers (16,20), but is still lacking a detailed explanation. A closer examination of the system carbon tetrachloride-tetrakis(trichlorophosphine)nickel-(0) (23) showed the main pa h of the reaction to consist in the formation of hexachloro-ethane with conversion of zerovalent into bivalent nickel, while the coordinated... 

The modern investigations of trace elements in coals were pioneered by Goldschmidt, who developed the technique of quantitative chemical analysis by optical emission spectroscopy and applied it to coal ash. In these earliest works, Goldschmidt (31) was concerned with the chemical combinations of the trace elements in coals. In addition to identifying trace elements in inorganic combinations with the minerals in coal, he postulated the presence of metal organic complexes and attributed the observed concentrations of vanadium, molybdenum, and nickel to the presence of such complexes in coal. 

Nickel(HI) and nickel(IV) complexes are generally highly reactive leading to oxidation of a variety of organic substrates to form the more stable nickel(H) complexes.
