A new chelating agent containing two different chelating systems in the same molecule was synthesized: p‐(1,3‐butanedione)‐N‐phenylglycine. Simultaneous coordination of this molecule with divalent lead and uranyl ions resulted in a bimetallic chelate polymer. Also prepared were coordination polymers of the chelating agent with the following divalent metal ions: beryllium, copper, magnesium, nickel, uranyl, and zinc. Thermal analysis data show that the beryllium, zinc, and uranyl polymers are exceptionally stable, with from 0.39–0.65% weight loss per hour at 200° in air. Four monomeric chelates were also investigated.
tained are presented in Table II. The analysis of two selected naturally occurring minerals is presented in Table III.The usual precautions must be taken when working with trace elements in the ranges studied. In addition, the glassware should be cleaned with hot nitric acid followed by ammonium hydroxide before rinsing with distilled water. Beakers should be used which have not been subjected to chromic acid cleaning solution. Standard solutions, especially Ag, should be prepared fresh from concentrated stock solutions, as the metals tend to be rapidly adsorbed on the walls of the containers. Samples ground in a tungsten carbide mixing vial had cobalt contamination.The recovery of Mn was not quantitative although precipitation was carried out at a pH of 5.9. Sources of Mn loss result from improper pH of precipitation and loss in the digestion process.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
