Este trabalho contempla a síntese e caracterização espectroscópica de dois compostos carbonílicos heterometálicos do tipo [Fe(CO)3(m-CS2)(PPh3 )(CuX)], X = Cl, ClO4. Os dados provenientes da espectroscopia no infravermelho e de RMN de 31P{¹H} foram conclusivos quanto à proposição da geometria octaédrica distorcida ao redor do átomo de ferro (0), como também sobre a natureza bimetálica de ambos compostos. Estes dados esclareceram o modo de coordenação dos grupos carbonilos, da trifenilfosfina (PPh3), bem como a disposição do ligante dissulfeto de carbono em ponte entre os átomos de Fe (0) e Cu (I).

Compostos do tipo Ln-3-MeO-Bz foram sintetizados no estado sólido, em que Ln representa os íons trivalentes La, Ce, Pr, Nd e Sm, e 3-MeO-Bz é o ânion 3-metoxibenzoato. Esses compostos foram caracterizados, utilizando-se as técnicas de difração de raios X pelo método do pó, espectroscopia na região do infravermelho, complexometria, e seu comportamento térmico foi avaliado usando termogravimetria (TG) e calorimetria exploratória diferencial (DSC). Os resultados forneceram informações com respeito a estequiometria, desidratação, transformação polimórfica, comportamento e decomposição térmica desses compostos.

Solid-state Ln -3-MeO-Bz compounds, where Ln stands for lighter trivalent lanthanides (La Sm) and 3-methoxybenzoate, have been synthesized. Thermogravimetry (TG), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray powder diffractometry, infrared spectroscopy, and complexometry were used to characterize and to study the thermal behaviour of these compounds. The results led to information concerning the composition, dehydration, polymorphic transformation, thermal behaviour and thermal decomposition of the synthesized compounds.

The crystal and molecular structures of [bis(5-chloro-2-methoxybenzoate)tetraaquamanganese(II)], [pentaaqua(5-chloro-2-methoxybenzoato)cobalt(II)] (5-chloro-2-methoxybenzoate), [pentaaqua(5-chloro-2-methoxybenzoato)nickel(II)] (5-chloro-2-methoxybenzoate) and [aquabis(5-chloro-2-methoxybenzoate)zinc(II)] monohydrate were determined by a single-crystal X-ray analysis. Mn(H2O)4L2 (where L = C8H6ClO3) crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group P21/c. [Co(H2O)5L]L and [Ni(H2O)5L]L both are isostructural, space group P212121. The crystals of [Zn(H2O)L2] H2O are monoclinic, space group Pc. Mn(II) ion is positioned at the crystallographic symmetry center. Mn(II) and Co(II) ions adopt the distorted octahedral coordination but Zn(II) tetrahedral one.The carboxylate groups in the complexes with M(II) cations function as monodentate, bidentate and/or free COO-groups. The ligands exist in the crystals as aquaanions. The complexes of 5-chloro-2-methoxybenzoates with Mn(II), Co(II) and Zn(II) form bilayer structure.

The performance of a carbon paste electrode (CPE) modified with SBA-15 nanostructured silica organofunctionalised with 2-benzothiazolethiol for determination of Cu(II) ions in sugar cane spirit (cachaça) is described, based on differential pulse anodic stripping voltammetry (DPASV) procedure. The Cu(II) oxidation peak was observed at 0.03 V (vs. SCE) in phosphate solution (pH 3.0). The results were obtained using optimised conditions such as 100 mV pulse amplitude, 3 min accumulation time, 25 mV s-1 scan rate in phosphate solution pH 3.0, resulting in a linear dynamic range from 8.0 x 10-7 to 1.0 x 10-5 mol L-1 Cu(II) and a limit of detection 2.0 x10-7 mol L-1. Cu(II) spiked in a cachaça sample was determined with 102.5 % mean recovery at mmol L-1 level. Interference from other metallic cations present in the sample was avoided by the standard addition procedure.

Íons cobre(II) catalisam a oxidação de ácido ascórbico por oxigênio molecular. O mecanismo envolve a coordenação dos reagentes ao íon metálico. Íons malato, quando presentes, também se coordenam ao cobre(II) e inibem o efeito catalítico. As constantes cinéticas específicas (k / mol-1 L min.-1) da reação em presença de íons malato são 46,58, 7,11 e 30,00 em valores de pH de 3,5, 4,5 e 5,8, respectivamente. Existe decréscimo do valor de k com o aumento do pH de 3,5 para 4,5, o que está de acordo com a coordenação mais efetiva do malato ao cobre(II).

Resumo em Inglês:

Copper(II) ions catalyze the oxidation of ascorbic acid by molecular oxygen. The mechanism involves coordination of the reactants to the metal ion. Malate ions, when present, also coordinates to copper(II) and inhibits the catalytic effect. The specific kinetic constants (k / mol-1 L min.-1) of the reaction in presence of malate ions, are 46.58, 7.11 and 30.00 at pH 3.5, 4.5 and 5.8, respectively. The k value decreases when pH increases from 3.5 to 4.5, which is in accord with the more effectively coordination of the malate to copper(II).

This work describes the sol-gel mixed oxide SiO2/TiO2 property, ST, as prepared, and submitted to heat treatment a 773 K, STC. SEM and EDS images show, within magnification used, a uniform distribution of the TiO2 particles in SiO2/TiO2 matrix. Both, ST and STC adsorb hydrogen peroxide on the surface and through EPR and UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectra, it was possible to conclude that the species on the surface is the peroxide molecule attached to the Lewis acid site of titanium particle surface, alphaTi(H2O2)+. As the material is very porous, presumably the hydrogen peroxide molecule is confined in the matrix pores on the surface, a reason why the adsorbed species presents an exceptional long lived stability.

Two series of alkanediyl-a,w-bis (dimethylalkylammonium bromide (n-2-n and n-6-n; n=8, 10,12, and 16) have been synthesized and their micelles properties studied in aqueous solution using pyrene, pyrenecarboxaldehyde (PCA) and 1,8 anilinonaphtalene sulfonic acid sodium salt (ANS) as fluorescent probes. The micelles from these surfactants have been characterized on the basis of the information provided by micelle-solubilized fluorescent probes. The obtained results indicated that the surfactant concentration at which a marked decrease in l max parameter of pyrenecarboxaldehyde (PCA) occurs corresponds to the CMC determined by conductimetric measurements. Changes in the emission spectra of ANS and PCA observed in the submicellar range for both surfactants series (n-2-n and n-6-n) were interpreted as formation of pre-aggregates. It was found that the dimeric surfactants with long spacer (s= 6) form more hydrated aggregates when compared with those formed by the n-2-n and CnTAB surfactants series. This was attributed to a more difficult packing of n-6-n surfactant molecules to form micelles.

In this paper, we report the stability of the Li(HF)3- molecular anion calculated at the MP2/6-31++G** and CCSD(T)/6-31++G** level of theory. Five possible conformers of Li(HF)3- molecular anions have been determined employing ab initio MP2 method with 6-31++G** basis set. The most stable conformer of five Li(HF)3- anions is in a cyclic ring structure Li(HF)3-(1). From our calculations we show that the molecule is stable towards electron attachment, with an electron adiabatic electron affinity (AEA) of 199.5 meV (233.1 meV with zero point energy correction) and 471.3 meV at the MP2 and CCSD(T) levels, respectively. In addition we present vertical detachment energies of 230.2 meV and 795.8 meV at the MP2, CCSD(T), respectively. The importance of the latter has to do with the ability of experimental detection of this value.

Muitos métodos analíticos estão sendo desenvolvidos visando à determinação de contaminantes orgânicos, especialmente alteradores endócrinos. Tais métodos baseiam-se geralmente na extração em fase sólida (SPE) seguida por determinação cromatográfica (CG ou HPLC). No presente trabalho utilizou-se ferramentas quimiométricas no processo de SPE para avaliar os principais fatores que influenciam tal processo e as interações entre os mesmos. Foram analisadas matrizes de água subterrânea fortificada com hormônios (17 b estradiol, estrona e 17 b etinilestradiol) e a determinação analítica foi feita por HPLC/Fluorescência. Um planejamento fatorial completo foi utilizado. Os fatores escolhidos incluíram: condicionamento da fase sólida, concentração dos analitos, volume da amostra e solvente de eluição. As melhores condições obtidas foram: 500 mL da amostra, condicionamento da fase sólida (C18) com acetona (4mL), metanol (6 mL) e água pH 3(10 mL), e eluição dos analitos com 4 mL de acetona.
