Preparation and Reactions of Thiols

Preparation and Reactions of Thiols

Thiols are prepared using the hydrosulfide anion as a nucleophile in a nucleophilic substitution reaction with alkyl halides. For instance, bromobutane reacts with sodium hydrosulfide to give butanethiol.

EDTA: Auxiliary Complexing Reagents

EDTA: Auxiliary Complexing Reagents

EDTA titrations are usually carried out in highly basic conditions, where the fully deprotonated form of EDTA, Y4−, actively complexes with the free metal ions in the solution. Several metal ions precipitate as hydrous oxide (hydroxides, oxides, or oxyhydroxides) under these conditions, lowering the concentration of free metal ions in the solution. For this reason, auxiliary complexing agents or ligands such as ammonia, tartrate, citrate, or triethanolamine are used in EDTA titrations to...

Background:

Triphenolamines are modular tetradentate ligands with podand topology.
They exhibit effective coordination with transition metals and main group elements.
Ligand substituents influence the geometry, reactivity, and stability of metal complexes.

Purpose of the Study:

To explore the coordination chemistry of triphenolamines with various metal centers.
To investigate the catalytic potential of triphenolamine-metal complexes in polymerization and oxygen transfer reactions.
