Low-grade carbonaceous gold ore (0.01 to 1.8 oz/ton of gold) from the Carlin mine in Elko county, Nevada, has been characterized by a variety of analytical and spectroscopic techniques with emphasis on vibrational spectroscopy. A particular concern was determining the nature of the carbon-containing material in the ore. It was found that in addition to the anticipated carbonate, finely disseminated elemental carbon is present in amounts ranging from 0.062 to 0.43 wt. %. Contrary to previous reports, no detectable amounts of humic acid materials or organic hydrocarbons are present in any of the samples investigated.
Convenient syntheses of mono- and bis-imidazolium 1,3,5-triazine derivatives bearing piperidine and morpholine substituents are reported. In situ deprotonation of the mono-imidazolium salts and reaction with Ag2O or Au(tht)Cl (tht = tetrahydrothiophene) precursors affords the corresponding Ag(NHC)Cl and Au(NHC)Cl carbene complexes. In the presence of Ag(I) or Au(I) salts the bis-imidazolium pincers eliminate the imidazolium group to afford -OMe or -NMe2 substituted triazines depending on the solvent used. In solution, the Ag(I) and Au(I) complexes show a barrier to rotation about the Ctriazine-Namine bonds, with calculated ΔG(≠) barriers in the region of 70 kJ mol(-1). Single crystal X-ray structures of several of the proligands and their corresponding Ag(I) and Au(I) complexes were obtained. These universally reveal an extended, rigidly planar π-conjugated network between the triazine core, imidazolium/imidazolylidene substituents and exocyclic amine functions, to which the origin of the rotational barrier observed in solution is attributed. Only very weak Ntriazine-metal interactions are observed in the solid state, as indicated by small deviations of the CNHC-Ag-Cl bond angles from 180° and also supported by DFT calculations on the Ag(NHC)Cl complex (NHC = 4,6-dipiperidinyl-2-methylimidazolylidene triazine). Preliminary antimicrobial susceptibility studies against five microorganisms (methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus NCTC 13277, S. aureus NCTC 6571, Pseudomonas aeruginosa NCTC 10662, Proteus mirabilis NCTC 11938 and Candida albicans ATCC 90028) show that the above triazine-based Ag-NHC complexes are active antimicrobial and antifungal agents.
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.
