Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of pigment and dye compositions. More specifically, it provides for novel compositions comprising an organic dye or pigment complexed with a support comprising a metal oxide, wherein the complex comprises a coordinate covalent bond between the dye and the support.
  • Maya blue refers to a "turquoise” brilliant shade of blue that is found on murals and archaeological artifacts, for example, throughout Mesoamerica. It is described in the literature as being composed of palygorskite clay and indigo, that when mixed and heated, produce the stable brilliant blue color similar to that found in Mesoamerica. Proposed methods of preparation were performed with the intent of trying to replicate the blue color found at the historical sites and to reproduce the techniques employed by the original Maya.
  • Littman has synthesized indigo-attapulgite complexes and verified that his synthetic version was indistinguishable from the original pigments found in the pre-Hispanic murals and artifacts (Littman, 1980; Littman, 1982).
  • the prepared samples had the same physical and chemical characteristics as the authentic Maya blue examined. Littman concluded that the remarkable stability of the attapulgite was due to the heat treatment the attapulgite received during the synthesis.
  • Others have also synthesized compounds similar to that of Maya blue by a number of routes (Torres, 1988). They employed the Gettens test to determine whether the laboratory synthesis of Maya blue was indeed authentic with the same chemical resistant properties (Gettens, 1962). The test was necessary because initial attempts of simply mixing the palygorskite clay produced the color of Maya blue but the mixture did not possess the same chemical properties as the original organic/inorganic complex samples.
  • U.S. Patent No. 7,052,541 describes color compositions comprising indigo derivatives pigments and dyes complexed to the surface of inorganic clays. These materials are useful as paints and coatings for artistic and industrial purposes, including use in cements, plastics, papers and polymers. Upon grinding and heating the organic and inorganic component as solid mixtures or in aqueous solutions, the resulting color compositions have unprecedented stability relative to the original starting material.
  • U.S. Serial No. 11/351,577, filed February 10, 2006 further provides improved methods for making color compositions comprising organic pigments and dyes complexed to inorganic clays. Upon grinding and treating with UV light, the organic and inorganic elements combine to form a color composition having unprecedented stability relative to the original starting material alone.

  • Zeolites Zeolite is an inorganic porous material having a highly regular structure of pores and chambers that allows some molecules to pass through, and causes others to be either excluded, or broken down. What a zeolite does, and how it does it, depends upon the exact shape, size, and charge distribution of the lattice structure of the zeolite. There are hundreds of different zeolites found in nature and made by man. In nature, zeolites are often formed where volcanic rock of specific chemical composition is immersed in water so as to leach away some of the components. Composition and pore size, of course, depend upon what kind of rock minerals are involved. Industry has mimicked some of the natural zeolites, and formed many new ones targeted towards very specific purposes.
  • Zeolyst International provides a variety of zeolite products. Five general groups are provided: Zeolite Y products, Beta type Zeolite products, Mordenite type Zeolite products, ZSM-5 Zeolite type products and Ferrierite type Zeolite products. The characteristics of the groups are set out below:
  • U.S. Patents 6,357,678, 5,387,564, 4,594,332, 4,551,322, 4,405,484, 4,339,419, 4,305,916, 4,303,629, 4,303,628, 4,303,627 and 4,303,626 provide zeolite compositions and methods of making them.
  • Aluminum-containing supports A wide variety of supports containing aluminum exist are well-known to those of skill in the art. Non-limiting examples of aluminum- containing supports include alumina, amorphous Al(OH) 3 , amorphous AlO(OH), amorphous Al/SiO 2 (Al substituted SiO 2 ), crystalline Al(OH) 3 , crystalline AlO(OH), gibbsite and bayerite. Minerals such as boehmite and diaspore comprise the chemical formula AlO(OH). Minerals such as gibbsite, bayerite, doyleite and nordstrandite comprise the chemical formula Al(OH) 3 .
  • Alumina also known as aluminum oxide, is a chemical compound of aluminum and oxygen with the chemical formula Al 2 O 3 . It is also commonly referred to as alumina in, for example, the mining, ceramic, and materials science communities.
  • Gibbsite is also known as hydrargyllite and comprises the chemical formula Al(OH) 3 .
  • Gibbsite is an important ore of aluminium and is one of three minerals that make up the rock bauxite.
  • Bauxite is often thought of as a mineral but is really a rock composed of aluminium oxide and hydroxide minerals such as gibbsite, boehmite, and diaspore (HAlO 2 ), as well as clays, silt, and iron oxides and hydroxides.
  • Bauxite is a laterite, a rock formed from intense weathering environments such as found in richly forested, humid, tropical climates.
  • Gibbsite has three named structural polymorphs or polytypes: bayerite, doyleite, and nordstrandite. Gibbsite and bayerite are monoclinic, whereas doyleite and nordstrandite are triclinic forms.
  • the structure of gibbsite is interesting and analogous to the basic structure of the micas.
  • the basic structure forms stacked sheets of linked octahedrons of aluminium hydroxide.
  • the octahedrons are composed of aluminium ions with a +3 charge bonded to six octahedrally coordinated hydroxides with a -1 charge.
  • Each of the hydroxides is bonded to only two aluminiums because one third of the octahedrons are vacant a central aluminium.
  • the lack of a charge on the gibbsite sheets means that there is no charge to retain ions between the sheets and act as a "glue" to keep the sheets together.
  • the sheets are only held together by weak residual bonds and this results in a very soft easily cleaved mineral.
  • Gibbsite's structure is closely related to the structure of brucite, Mg(OH) 2 .
  • the lower charge in brucite's magnesium (+2) as opposed to gibbsite's aluminium (+3) does not require that one third of the octahedrons be vacant of a central ion in order to maintain a neutral sheet.
  • the different symmetry of gibbsite and brucite is due to the different way that the layers are stacked.
  • gibbsite layer that in a way forms the "floor plan" for the mineral corundum, Al 2 O 3 .
  • the basic structure of corundum is identical to gibbsite except the hydroxides are replaced by oxygen. Since oxygen has a charge of -2 the layers are not neutral and require that they must be bonded to other aluminiums above and below the initial layer producing the framework structure that is the structure of corundum. Gibbsite is often found as a part of the structure of other minerals.
  • the neutral aluminium hydroxide sheets are found sandwiched between silicate sheets in important clay groups: the illite, kaolinite, and montmorillonite/smectite groups.
  • the individual aluminium hydroxide layers are identical to the individual layers of gibbsite and are referred to as "gibbsite layers.”
  • U.S. Patents 5,514,316, 5,880,196, 6,555,496, 6,593,265, 6,689,333, 6,710,004 and 7,022,304 provide aluminum-containing compositions and methods of making them.
  • Lewis Acid Metals A Lewis acid is an electron pair acceptor. A Lewis base is an electron pair donor.
  • any Arrhenius acid or base, or any Br ⁇ nsted-Lowry acid or base can also be viewed as a Lewis acid or base.
  • the reaction of H 1+ with OH 1" involves donation and acceptance of a proton, so it is certainly legitimate to call it a Br ⁇ nsted- Lowry acid-base reaction. But if one looks at the Lewis structures for the reactants and products, one sees that it is also legitimate to call this a Lewis acid-base reaction.
  • the hydroxide ion donates a pair of electrons for bond formation, thus OH 1" is a Lewis base in this reaction.
  • the hydrogen ion accepts the pair of electrons so it is acting as a Lewis acid. Shown below is an example of a Lewis acid-base reaction that cannot be viewed as a Br ⁇ nsted-Lowry acid-base reaction.
  • the BF 3 is the Lewis acid and the N(CH 3 )3 is the Lewis base.
  • Both of the electrons in the bond formed by a Lewis acid-base reaction come from the same atom (in the above example, the nitrogen donates both electrons).
  • Such bonds are called coordinate covalent bonds.
  • compounds of the present invention feature such coordinate covalent bonds.
  • a coordinate covalent bond is represented by an arrow pointing from the donor of the electron pair to the acceptor of the electron pair:
  • a coordinate covalent bond (also known as dative covalent bond) is a special type of covalent bond in which the shared electrons come from one of the atoms only. Coordinate covalent bonds are formed when a Lewis base (an electron donor) donates a pair of electrons to a Lewis acid (an electron accepter). The resultant compound may then be called an adduct (a compound formed by the addition reaction between two molecules). The process of forming a dative bond is typically called coordination. Once the bond has been formed, its strength is no different from that of a covalent bond.
  • a compound that contains a lone pair of electrons is capable of forming a coordinate bond.
  • Coordinate covalent bonds can be found in many different substances, such as in simple molecules like carbon monoxide (CO), which contains one coordinate covalent bond and two normal covalent bonds between the carbon atom and the oxygen atom, or the ammonium ion (NH 4 + ), where a coordinate covalent bond is formed between a proton (a H + ion) and the nitrogen atom.
  • CO carbon monoxide
  • NH 4 + ammonium ion
  • Coordinate covalent bonds are also formed in electron deficient compounds, such as in solid beryllium chloride (BeCl 4 2" ), in which every beryllium atom is bonded to four chlorine atoms, two with normal covalent bonding, and the other two with coordinate covalent bonds, which will give it a stable octet of electrons.
  • Coordinate covalent bonding can also be found in coordination complexes involving metal ions, as in certain embodiments of the present invention, especially if they are transition metal ions. In such complexes, substances in a solution act as Lewis bases and donate their free pairs of electrons to the metal ion, which acts as a Lewis acid and accepts the electrons.
  • the resulting compound may be called a coordination complex, while the electron donors are often called ligands.
  • electron donors are often called ligands.
  • a common ligand is water (H 2 O), which will form coordination complexes with metal ions, like Cu 2+ , which will form [Cu(H 2 O) 6 J 2+ in aqueous solution.
  • Other common simple ligands are ammonia (NH 3 ), fluoride ions (F “ ), chloride ions (CF) and cyanide ions (CN “ ).
  • Lewis acids There are six classes of Lewis acids: (heavy) metal Lewis acids, pi-LUMO Lewis acids, Lobe- LUMO Lewis acids, onium ion Lewis acids, s-LUMO Lewis acids and the proton Lewis acid. Of particular interest in the present invention are (heavy) metal Lewis acids. Heavy metal Lewis acids may be categorized as hard, borderline or soft (correlating with high-to-low oxidation states).
  • heavy metal Lewis acids include Sc 3+ , Ti 2+ , Ti 3+ , Ti 4+ , V 2+ , V 3+ , V 4+ , V 5+ , Cr 2+ , Cr 3+ , Cr 6+ , Mn 2+ , Mn 3+ , Fe 2+ , Fe 3+ , Co 2+ , Co 3+ , Ni2 + , Ni3 + , Cu + , Cu 2+ , Zn 2+ , Y 3+ , Zr 3+ , Zr 4+ , Nb 3+ , Nb 5+ , Mo 2+ , Mo 3+ , Mo 4+ , Mo 5+ , Ru 2+ , Ru 3+ , Ru 4+ , Ru 8+ , RIi 2+ , Rh 3+ , Pd 2+ , Pd 4+ , Ag + , Cd 2+ , In + , In 3+ , Sn 2+ , Sn 4+ , La 3+ , Ce 3+ , Ce 3

In FIG. 1 the TGA plot shows a drastic reduction in mass of Novoperm Red from 385°C to 485°C; this corresponds to the decomposition temperature of Novoperm red. The DTA of the SiAl-Novoperm red complex in FIGS. 3 and 4 does not show such a change and the loss in mass is gradual over temperature range of 150°C to 600°C. This clearly indicates the formulation of the SiAl-Novoperm red complex.
