Electrochemical reduction of As(III) in acid media
Smirnov,Turygin,Shalashova,Khudenko,Tomilov
, p. 25 - 29 (2007)
Measurements of the cathode potentials of different electrode materials in the galvanostatic electrolysis of As2O3 solutions in sulfuric acid indicate that the Pb cathode ensures the most stable negative potential, favorable for AsH3 formation. Preparative electrolyses confirm stability of the arsine yield in a series of experiments. The current efficiency for arsine on the Pb cathode is 60-70%. The byproduct of this process is As0, with a current efficiency of about 2%. We have designed and tested an electrolyzer with improved hydrodynamics, which makes it possible to avoid the formation of dead zones and to prevent the cathode chamber from being clogged.

Activation of N2 by (silox)3Ta (1, silox = tBu3SiO) to afford (silox)3Ta=N-N=Ta(silox) 3 (12-N2) does not occur despite ΔG°cald = -55.6 kcal/mol because of constraints of orbital symmetry, prompting efforts at an independent synthesis that included a study of REH2 activation (E = N, P, As). Oxidative addition of REH 2 to 1 afforded (silox)3HTaEHR (2-NHR, R = H, Me, nBu, C6H4-p-X (X = H, Me, NMe2); 2-PHR, R = H, Ph; 2-AsHR, R = H, Ph), which underwent 1,2-H2- elimination to form (silox)3Ta=NR (1=NR; R = H, Me, nBu, C6H4-p-X (X = H (X-ray), Me, NMe2, CF 3)), (silox)3Ta=PR (1=PR; R = H, Ph), and (silox) 3Ta=AsR (1=AsR; R = H, Ph). Kinetics revealed NH bond-breaking as critical, and As > N > P rates for (silox)3HTaEHPh (2-EHPh) were attributed to (1) ΔG°calc(N) calc(P) ～ ΔG°calc(As); (2) similar fractional reaction coordinates (RCs), but with RC shorter for N P～As. Calculations of the pnictidenes aided interpretation of UV-vis spectra. Addition of H2NNH2 or H2N-N(cNC2H3Me) to 1 afforded 1=NH, obviating these routes to 12-N2, and formation of (silox)3MeTaNHNH2 (4-NHNH2) and (silox) 3MeTaNH(-cNCHMeCH2) (4-NH(azir)) occurred upon exposure to (silox)3Ta=CH2 (1=CH2). Thermolyses of 4-NHNH2 and 4-NH(azir) yielded [(silox)2TaMe](μ- NαHNβ)(μ-NγHN δH)[Ta(silox)2] (5) and [(silox)3MeTa] (μ-η2-N,N: η1-C-NHNHCH2CH 2CH2)[Ta(κ-O,C-OSitBu2CMe 2CH2)(silox)2] (7, X-ray), respectively. (silox)3Ta=CPPh3 (1=CPPh3, X-ray) was a byproduct from Ph3PCH2 treatment of 1 to give 1=CH 2. Addition of Na(silox) to [(THF)2Cl3Ta] 2(μ-N2) led to [(silox)2ClTa](μ-N 2) (8-Cl), and via subsequent methylation, [(silox) 2MeTa]2(μ-N2) (8-Me); both dimers were thermally stable. Orbital symmetry requirements for N2 capture by 1 and pertinent calculations are given.
Spectrophotometric determination of arsenic via nanogold formation in micellar medium

Colloidal gold nanoparticles are formed in aqueous anionic micellar medium by the quantitative reduction of chloroauric acid (HAuCl4) by arsine (AsH3) gas produced from arsenic bearing sample water. The absorbance of the pink gold sol (λmax at 530 nm) is a measure of arsenic concentration present in the sample. Both, As(III) and As(V) either present individually or in mixture could be determined. The molar absorptivity is 6.1×103 lit mol-1 cm-1 and the Sandell sensitivity is 1.28×10-2 μg cm-2. The gold particles, as observed from the transmission electron microscopy analysis, are spherical in nature, the average size being 14±5 nm. The linear dynamic range (LDR) for the arsenic determination is 0-0.5 ppm (0-6.67×10 -6 M). The limit of detection (LOD) is 0.005 ppm. The 95% confidence limit for 0.2 ppm of arsenic is 0.207±0.007 ppm (for 10 replicates). The relative standard deviation (RSD) is 2+/Fe3+, Ca2+/Mg 2+, PO4-3, SiO3-2, NO3-, Cl-, SO4-2, humic acid, common herbicides/pesticides like 2,4-D, endosulfan, atrazine, etc. and can be applied for the determination of total arsenic concentration in real water samples. The results are in good agreement with the SDDC method. The toxic and volatile organic solvents used for silver diethyldithiocarbamate method could be avoided in this method and hence it is safer, much easier and more reproducible.
