The selective monobromination of a highly sterically encumbered corrole: Structural and spectroscopic properties of Fe(Cl)(2-bromo-5,10,15-tris(triphenyl)phenyl corrole)

The corrole ligand serves as a versatile tri-anionic, macrocyclic platform on which to model biological catalytic systems, as well as to effect mechanistically challenging chemical transformations. Herein we describe the synthesis, structure, and characterization of an isomerically pure corrole ligand, selectively mono-brominated at the β-carbon position adjacent to the corrole C-C bond (2-C) and produced in relatively high yields, as well as its iron chloride complex. Analysis of the iron metalated complex by cyclic voltammetry shows that the bromine being present on the ligand resulted in anodic shifts of +93 and +63 mV for first oxidation and first reduction of the complex respectively. The Mössbauer spectrum of the iron metalated complex shows negligible change relative to the non-brominated analog, indicating the presence of the halide substituent predominantly effects the orbitals of the ligand rather than the metal.

Phase transformations during the oxidation of fayalite in iron-rich nickel slag

Phase transformations during the oxidation of fayalite (Fe2SiO4) are investigated for the recovery of iron from iron-rich nickel slag by oxidation-magnetic separation. The proportions of various phases calculated by FactSage 7.1 show that augite and spinel are the major phases in the FeO-SiO2-MgO-CaO-O2 system in air atmosphere. The decreased content of Fe2+shows that Fe2SiO4 is gradually oxidized into Fe3O4 with increasing oxidation time. XRD patterns demonstrate that Fe3O4and Ca(Mg,Fe)Si2O6 are the dominant phases after the oxidation. The Mössbauer spectrum indicates that 93.1 wt.% of iron in oxidized nickel slag is in magnetic minerals, while a limited amount of iron is contained in non-magnetic minerals. Ca(Mg,Fe)Si2O6 was formed during the heating stage in Ar atmosphere through the polymerization of SiO4 4-and also via peritectic reaction after the isothermal oxidation.

Structural, Magnetic and Mossbauer Studies of Magnesium Ferrite Nanoparticles Prepared by Hydrothermal Method

Magnesium ferrite (MgFe2O[Formula: see text] being a soft magnetic material with fast frequency response, high a.c. heat power generation and high biocompatibility, is widely used in biomedical fields such as targeted drug delivery, magnetic hyperthermia, etc. This paper reports the synthesis of magnetic MgFe2O4 nanoparticles by hydrothermal method using chloride salts of metal ions. The effect of calcination on the structural and magnetic properties is studied by XRD, FTIR, VSM and Mossbauer spectrum analysis. Fine particles in the size range 3–24[Formula: see text]nm are obtained. On calcination, crystallite size increases and lattice parameter decreases. From the magnetic characterization, it is seen that the magnetic properties mainly depend on crystallite size and cation distribution. The mixed spinel states of the prepared materials are confirmed from the FTIR and Mossbauer spectrum analysis. The doublet spectrum obtained in the Mossbauer studies indicates the superparamagnetic relaxation at room temperature.
