The Mn oxidation state of two water soluble Mn porphyrins, MnTMPyP and MnTPPS 4, was studied as a function of the aqua or hydroxo ligands of the Mn atom. In NaOH solutions, long-lived O = Mn(IV) species were detected in the presence of O 2. Conversely, the dihydroxo Mn(III) porphyrin reduces spontaneously to the Mn(II) species in the absence of O 2. In alkaline solutions, these Mn porphyrins were able to electrocatalyze the 4-electron reduction of O 2 to H 2 O on a vitreous carbon electrode.

The addition of cyclodextrins (α-CD, β-CD, 2-hydroxopropyl-β-CD and γ-CD) to aqueous solutions of representative cationic ( MnTMPyP ) and anionic ( MnTPPS 4) water-soluble Mn porphyrins only substantially affect the behavior of the Mn (III)/ Mn (II) couple when inclusion complexes (i.e. for MnTPPS 4) are formed. The voltammetric responses were interpreted under the assumption that the inclusion complexes are electroactive, which occurs after their adsorption on the electrode surface. In addition, the results point to a higher affinity of the cyclodextrins for Mn II TPPS 4 than for Mn III TPPS 4.

Metal complexes of water-soluble and other porphyrins have been prepared by a heterogeneous reaction with the metal reactant present in an insoluble form. The oxidation state of the metal is important in the reactions. Metal reactants in the lower oxidation states (0, I, II) react with porphyrins but those in the higher oxidation states (III, IV) do not. Metalloporphyrins of high purity may be conveniently prepared by this method.

Magnetic composite based on poly(oxy-2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene) (PODMP) was prepared by melting the polymer with ε-caprolactam in a presence of fine magnetite particles. Magnetic PODMP was used for sorption of water soluble organic compounds (dyes belonging to triphenylmethane, heteropolycyclic and azo dye groups) from water solutions. There were considerable differences in the binding of the dyes tested. In general, heteropolycyclic dyes exhibited the lowest sorption.

Keratin from wool is a reactive, biocompatible, and biodegradable material. As the biological structural component of skin (soft keratins) and of nails, claws, hair, horn, feathers, and scales (hard keratins) pure keratin comprises up to 90% by weight of wool. Wool was treated in alkaline solutions to extract from 68% to 82% keratin within 2 to 5 hours of exposure at . The keratin products were water-soluble and were confirmed to contain intermediate filament and microfibrillar component-proteins of fractured, residual cuticle, and cortical cells. Oxidation of wool by peroxycarboximidic acid in alkaline hydrogen peroxide produced keratin products with distinct microcrystalline structures: descaled fibers, fibrous matrices, and lyophilized powders. Morphology and confirmation of peptide functionality were documented by SEM, Amino Acid Analysis, SDS-PAGE gel electrophoresis, MALDI-TOF/TOF, and FTIR analyses. The reactivity of keratin from wool models the reactivity of keratin from low-value sources such as cattle hair.

Abstract Selenium and tellurium form binary halides in which the chalcogen can be in formal oxidation states (IV), (II) or (I). They are versatile reagents for the preparation of a wide range of inorganic and organic selenium and tellurium compounds taking advantage of the reactivity of the chalcogen–halogen bond. With the exception of the tetrafluorides, the tetrahalides are either commercially available or readily prepared. On the other hand, the low-valent species, EX2 (E = Se, Te; X = Cl, Br) and E2X2 (E = Se, Te; X = Cl, Br) are unstable with respect to disproportionation and must be used as in situ reagents. Organoselenium and tellurium halides are well-known in oxidation states (IV) and (II), as exemplified by REX3, R2EX2 and REX (R = alkyl, aryl; E = Se, Te; X = F, Cl, Br, I); mixed-valent (IV/II) compounds of the type RTeX2TeR are also known. This chapter surveys the availability and/or preparative methods for these widely used reagents followed by examples of their applications in synthetic inorganic and organic selenium and tellurium chemistry. For both the binary halides and their organic derivatives, the discussion is subdivided according to the formal oxidation state of the chalcogen.
