Adsorption of Pyridine N-Oxide onto Montmorillonite

  • Published:

Abstract

Pyridine N-oxide and montmorillonite form interlamellar complexes with basal spacings of 14·7 and 21 Å. The former corresponds to a monolayer with a tilted orientation of the pyridine ring; the latter comprises a double layer of molecules between the clay sheets. Infrared spectra show that pyridine N-oxide bonds through the NO group; in the 21 Å complexes it is coordinated to the exchangeable cations through water molecules acting as bridges which themselves are directly coordinated to the cations. In the 14·7 Å complexes a splitting of the ν(NO) band occurs with the more polarizing cations Mg and Ca; the two bands correspond to pyridine N-oxide molecules directly coordinated to the cation and to other molecules coordinated through bridging by water molecules. Cs montmorillonite forms complexes with a basal spacing of approximately 14·7 Å which also shows a splitting of the ν(NO) band.

Résumé

Le N-oxyde de pyridine et la montmorillonite forment des complexes interlamellaires avec des espacements basals de 14,7 et 21 Å. Le premier correspond à une monocouche avec une orientation inclinée du noyau pyridine; le second correspond à une double couche de molécules entre les feuillets d’argile. Les spectres infrarouges montrent que le N-oxyde de pyridine est lié par le groupe NO; dans les complexes à 21 Å, il est coordonné aux cations échangeables par l’intermédiaire de molécules d’eau agissant comme des ponts qui sont eux-mêmes directement coordonnés aux cations. Dans les complexes à 14,7 Å on observe un dédoublement de la bande ν (NO) avec les cations très polarisants Mg et Ca; les deux bandes correspondent à des molécules de N-oxyde de pyridine directement coordonnées aux cations et à d’autres molécules coordonnées par l’intermédiaire des molécules d’eau. La montmorillonite Cs forme des complexes avec un espacement basal de 14,7 Å environ, qui montrent aussi un dédoublement de la bande ν(NO).

Kurzreferat

Pyridin-N-oxide und Montmorillonit bilden Zwischenschicht-Einlagerungskomplexe mit Basisebenenabständen von 14,7 und 21 Å. Ersterer entspricht einer einmolekularen Schicht mit Schrägstellung der Pyridin-Ringe. Letzterer enthält eine Doppelschicht der Moleküle zwischen den Silicatschichten. Infrarotspektren zeigen, daß das Pyridin-N-oxid über die NO-Gruppe gebunden wird. Es ist im 21 Å-Komplex mit den austauschbaren Kationen koordiniert und zwar über Wassermoleküle, die ihrerseits eine direkte Zuordnung zu den Kationen aufweisen. Im 14,7 Å-Komplex tritt mit den stäker polarisierbaren Kationen Mg und Ca eine Aufspaltung der ν(NO)-Bande auf. Die beiden Banden entsprechen Pyridin-N-oxid-Molekülen, die direkt mit dem Kation und solchen, die über Wassermolekülbrücken koordiniert sind. Cs-Montmorillonit bildet Komplexe mit einem Basisebenenabstand von annähend 14,7 Å, die ebenfalls Aufspaltung der ν(NO)-Bande zeigen.

Резюме

N-окисный пиридин и монтмориллонит образуют интерламинарные комплексы с постоянной кристаллической решетки 14,7 и 21 0А. Первый соответствует мономолекулярному слою с наклонной ориентацией пиридинового кольца; последний заключает в себе двойной слой молекул между пластами глины. Инфракрасная область спектра показывает, что N-окисный пиридин связан по группе NO; в комплексах 21 0А он координационно присоединен к катионам посредством молекул воды, образующих мостиковые связи, которые в свою очередь вступают непосредственно в координационную связь с катионами. В комплексе 14,7 0А расщепление полосы ν (NO) происходит с более поляризующими катионами Мg и Са; обе полосы соответствуют молекулам N-окисного пиридина непосредственно координированных с катионом и с остальными молекулами координационно присоединенными мостиковой связью к молекулам воды. Сs монтмориллонит образут комплексы с постоянной кристаллической решетки примерно 14,7 0А, также проявляющей расщепление полосы ν (NO).
