Para-substituted 4-aroyl derivatives of 1-phenyl-3-methyl-5-pyrazolones (HX), namely, 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-(4-fluorobenzoyl)-5-pyrazolone (HPMFBP) and 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-(4-toluoyl)-5-pyrazolone (HPMTP) were synthesized and examined with regard to the extraction behavior of multivalent metal ions such as magnesium(II), aluminum(III), titanium(IV), vanadium(V), chromium(III), manganese(II), iron(II), and iron(III) that are present in titania waste chloride liquors. For comparison, studies have also been carried out with 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-benzoyl-5-pyrazolone (HPMBP). The results demonstrate that vanadium(V) and iron(III) are extracted into chloroform with 4-aroyl-5-pyrazolones as VO 2 X . HX and FeX 3 , respectively. On the other hand, magnesium(II), aluminum(III), titanium(IV), chromium(III), manganese(II), and iron(II) were not found to be extracted into the organic phase. The equilibrium constants of vanadium(V) and iron(III) with various 4-aroyl-5-pyrazolones follow the order HPMFBP . HPMBP . HPMTP, which is in accordance with their pKa values. The selectivity between vanadium(V) and iron(III) increases with increasing hydrochloric acid concentration. Further, it is clear from the results that iron(III) is not getting extracted above 1.0 mol dm 23 hydrochloric acid solution. The electronic and IR spectra of the extracted complexes of vanadium(V) and iron(III) were used to further clarify the nature of the extracted complexes. The potential of these reagents for the selective extraction and separation of vanadium(V) from titania waste chloride liquors has also been discussed.

On the basis of the novel heterocyclic beta-diketone, 4-sebacoylbis(1-phenyl-3-methyl-5-pyrazolone (H 2SbBP), three new lanthanide complexes Tb 2(SbBP) 3(H 2O) 2 ( 1), Gd 2(SbBP) 3(H 2O) 2 ( 2), and [Tb(SbBP) 2] [Na(DB18C6)H 2O] ( 3) have been synthesized and characterized by various spectroscopic techniques. The single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis of 3 reveals that the complex crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/ c with a = 25.300(6) A, b = 19.204(7) A, c = 15.391(3) A, beta = 93.17(3) degrees , and V = 7466(4) A (3). The crystal structure of 3 is heterodinuclear and features a Tb (3+) center surrounded by two tetradentate bispyrazolone ligands in a somewhat distorted square-antiprismatic geometry. The Na (+) coordination environment is distorted hexagonal pyramidal and involves six oxygen atoms furnished by DB18C6 and one oxygen atom from a water molecule. The X-ray diffraction study of 3 also revealed an interesting 1D molecular ladder structure based on C-H/pi, intra- and intermolecular hydrogen-bonding interactions. The photophysical properties of 1 and 3 in solid state have been investigated, and the quantum yields and (5)D 4 lifetimes were found to be 4.82 +/- 0.01% and 18.13 +/- 0.82% and 1.11 +/- 0.01 and 2.82 +/- 0.02 ms, respectively.
