The novel mesoporous silica-supported bis(diazo-azomethine) compounds have been synthesized and characterized successively. In the first step, 1,3-phenylenedimethanamine and 4,4′-diaminodiphenylmethane were diazotized, and the obtained bis(diazonium) cations were coupled with 2,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde. The synthesized bis(diazo-carbonyl) compounds, 5,5′-((1,3-phenylenebis(methylene))bis(diazene-2,1-diyl))bis(2,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde) (A1) and 5,5′-((methylenebis(4,1-phenylene)) bis(diazene-2,1-diyl))bis(2,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde) (A2) were chemically supported on amino-modified silica-gel (as L1 and L2). Elemental analysis, liquid chromatography-mass spectroscopy, liquid-phase NMR ( 1 H and 13 C) and solid-phase NMR (CP-MAS 29 Si and 13 C), FT-IR, TG/DTA, scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy techniques were used for characterizations of all the synthesized compounds. The syringe and batch techniques were applied for the solid-phase extraction properties of Pb(II), Cu(II), Cd(II) and Cr(III) ions using an inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectroscopy instrument. The recoveries of Pb(II), Cu(II), Cd(II) and Cr(III) ions have been achieved to 95-99% with the (RSDs) of ± 2-3% in optimum conditions.
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.
