Definitions
- the present invention relates to materials containing a polyoxometalate or a metal compound, wherein the metal compound is not a polyoxometalate.
- the invention further relates to methods for removing a contaminant from an environment by contacting the environment with a polyoxometalate material or a non-polyoxometalate material.
- Creams also referred to as topical skin protectants (TSPs) have been developed to protect soldiers from the threat of dermal exposure to chemical warfare agents.
- TSPs require an inert material which can be applied on the skin in a thin layer to form an antipenetrant barrier to CWAs or other contact irritants that will not interfere excessively with normal skin functions.
- a preferred TSP affords protection against CWAs and other toxic or irritating materials in all of the forms in which they might be encountered (e.g., liquid, aerosolized liquid and vapor).
- CWA vesicant
- CWA 2,2′-dichlorodiethylsulfide
- HD 2,2′-dichlorodiethylsulfide
- Improved TSPs are needed for protecting military personnel and civilians from percutaneous exposure to CWAs and protecting the skin from contact dermatitis arising from other sources as well.

The invention further relates to an article comprising the modified material of the present invention.
Description
- This application claims priority upon U.S. provisional application Ser. No. 60/158,952, filed on Oct. 12, 1999, and the contents of which are herein incorporated by this reference in their entirety.
- The present invention relates to materials containing a polyoxometalate or a metal compound, wherein the metal compound is not a polyoxometalate. The invention further relates to methods for removing a contaminant from an environment by contacting the environment with a polyoxometalate material or a non-polyoxometalate material.
- Decreasing the potential danger of contaminants from the environment has long been a significant issue. For example, the removal of offensive odors originating from cigarette smoke, sweat, exhaust gases, and rotten food in the work place, the home, and elsewhere would be quite beneficial to the public-at-large. Additionally, materials that can remove highly toxic contaminants, such as chemical warfare agents (CWAs), from the environment can ultimately reduce a soldier's exposure to the agent. Examples of materials that would be useful include creams, powders, coatings, and fabrics.
- Creams, also referred to as topical skin protectants (TSPs), have been developed to protect soldiers from the threat of dermal exposure to chemical warfare agents. TSPs require an inert material which can be applied on the skin in a thin layer to form an antipenetrant barrier to CWAs or other contact irritants that will not interfere excessively with normal skin functions. A preferred TSP affords protection against CWAs and other toxic or irritating materials in all of the forms in which they might be encountered (e.g., liquid, aerosolized liquid and vapor). Perhaps the best-known vesicant CWA is 2,2′-dichlorodiethylsulfide (also known as “HD” or “sulfur mustard”), which was first used during World War I. Improved TSPs, however, are needed for protecting military personnel and civilians from percutaneous exposure to CWAs and protecting the skin from contact dermatitis arising from other sources as well.
- U.S. Pat. No. 5,607,979 to McCreery discloses topical creams formed from about 35% to about 50% fine particulates of certain poly(tetrafluoroethylene) (PTFE) resins dispersed in perfluorinated polyether oils having viscosities from about 20 cSt to about 350 cSt. The creams afford protection against chemical warfare agents such as sulfur mustard (HD), lewisite (L), sulfur mustard/Lewisite mixtures (HL), pinacolyl methylphosphonofluoridate (soman or GD), thickened soman (TGD) and O-ethyl-S-2-diisopropylaminoethyl methylphosphonothiolate (VX). These creams, however, can only provide limited exposure to a CWA for a short period of time. Furthermore, the creams cannot convert the CWA to an inactive form, which will reduce the overall toxicity of the CWA.
- Thus, there is a need for a material, which is also referred to herein as a support, that can remove a contaminant from the environment for an extended period of time. The incorporation of a polyoxometalate (herein referred to as “POM”) into a material such as a cream, coating, powder, or fabric, is one approach to removing a contaminant from an environment. Gall et al. (Chem. Mat. 8, pp. 2523-2527, 1996) disclose the immobilization of H5PV2Mo10O40 on carbon cloth in order to determine the ability of H5PV2Mo10O40 to remove sulfur containing compounds from toluene. Johnson et al. (Proc. ERDEC Sci. Conf. Chem. Biol. Def. Res., 1998, pp. 393-399) disclose suspending H5PV2Mo10O40; K5Si(H2O)MnIIIW11O39; K4Si(H2O )MnIVW11O39; or K5CoIIIW12O40 in a perflouropolyether barrier cream to determine the creams ability to detect the presence of mustard gas. Johnson et al., however, is not concerned with the removal of the mustard gas from the gas phase.
- The prior art also discloses the incorporation of polyoxometalates into powders and coatings. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,356,469 to Curcio et al. disclose a metal pigment composition suitable for the formation of a coating composition. The coating composition is composed of a solvent, a metal pigment, at least one phosphosilicate pigment, and at least one heteropoly anion. The metal pigment particles possess increased stability against attack by water. Japanese patent application number 4054127 to Terumo Corp. discloses the use of heteropoly acid salts as anti-tumor agents. The heteropoly acid salts can be administered in the form of a powder or suspended in solution. Although the prior art discloses a number of different applications of polyoxometalate powders or coatings, the art does not disclose the use of a powder or coating containing a polyoxometalate to remove a contaminant from the environment.
- In light of the above, it would be very desirable to have an article and a method of using an article for the removal of toxic and/or malodorous compounds without adding stoichiometric amounts of additives or compounds to the article. The present invention solves such a need in the art while providing surprising advantages. The present invention herein incorporates a polyoxometalate (POM) into a material such as a topical carrier, powder, or coating, which greatly increases the ability of the to remove a contaminant from the environment. The present invention also incorporates a metal compound, wherein the metal compound is not a polyoxometalate, into a in order to remove a contaminant from the environment.

- FIG. 2 shows CEESO formation as a function of time using 1Au/2Cu/3NO3; 2Cu/3NO3; and 1Au/3NO3.

Scheme 1, where R is the organic group and Met is generally vanadium, molybdenum, tungsten, niobium, or tantalum. - The reaction between an alcohol and the polyoxometalate I results in the loss of water and the formation of the polyoxometalate II, wherein the organic group is bonded to an oxygen atom of the polyoxometalate. Any alcohol known in the art can be used in the present invention. Examples of alcohol that can be used include, but are not limited to, methanol, ethanol, or tris(hydroxymethyl)methane. The polyoxometalates having organic groups bonded to the POM that are disclosed in Gouzerh et al.,Chem. Rev., 98, pp. 77-111, 1998, which is incorporated by reference in its entirety, are useful in the present invention.
- In another embodiment, the polyoxometalate I can be reacted with a compound having the generic formula YLoR4−o, wherein Y is silicon, tin, or an other p- or d-block element; L is a leaving group; R is an organic group, such as an alkyl, alkenyl, or alkynyl group or an aryl group of C1 to C30; and o is from 1 to 4. Suitable leaving groups for L include, but are not limited to, halides and alkoxides. In Scheme I, the oxygen of polyoxometalate I displaces L from YLR3 to form a new Y—O bond. (compound III). Any silyl, tin, or organic derivative of a p- or d-block element known in the art can be used in the present invention, provided that the compound has at least one leaving group.
- The counterion A can be any counterion known in the art. Examples of counterions include, but are not limited to, quaternary ammonium cation, proton, alkali metal cation, alkaline earth metal cation, ammonium cation, d-block cations, f-block cations, or a combination thereof. In one embodiment, the polyoxometalate is an acid, wherein the counterion A is hydrogen (H+). In one embodiment, the counterion is a d- or f-block metal complex. In one embodiment, the counterion is trimethyl-triazacyclononane manganese. In another embodiment, the counterion A is hydrogen, lithium (Li+), sodium (Na+), potassium (K+), or a combination thereof. In another embodiment, A is not hydrogen or potassium.

The term “admixture” can refer to the reaction product between the polyoxometalate and the cerium compound, silver compound, gold compound, platinum compound, or a combination thereof. For example, the cerium compound, silver compound, gold compound, or platinum compound can undergo ion exchange with the counterion of the polyoxometalate. The cerium compound, silver compound, gold compound, or platinum compound can also react with the polyoxometalate by a redox reaction. The term “admixture” can also refer to when the cerium compound, silver compound, gold compound, or platinum compound do not react at all with the polyoxometalate. For example, the polyoxometalate may absorb the cerium compound, silver compound, gold compound, or platinum compound.
- In one embodiment, when the POM is the sodium, lithium, or potassium salt or the acid form (A is H+), the POM can undergo ion exchange with a cerium compound, a silver compound, a gold compound, a platinum compound, or a combination thereof. For example, Ag5PV2Mo10O40 is produced by the ion exchange of Na5PV2Mo10O40 with a stoichiometric amount AgNO3. Any of the POMs described above can undergo ion exchange with a cerium compound, a silver compound, a gold compound, a platinum compound.
- Depending upon the type, and amounts of POM and cerium compound, silver compound, gold compound, or platinum compound used, the ion exchange reaction may or may not go to completion. When the ion exchange does not go to completion, there may be small population of Na+, Li+, K+, or H+ in the modified-polyoxometalate. For example, when H5PV2Mo10O40 is admixed with AgNO3, the resultant POM may be expressed by the formula AgxH5-xPV2Mo10O40, where x is from 1 to 5. Here, varying amounts of H+ may be present in the POM.

- Not wishing to be bound by theory, it is believed that some counterions of the present invention can be reduced to the corresponding metal when the polyoxometalate contacts the contaminant. For example, when the cation is Ag+1 or Au+3, these cations can be reduced to silver metal or Au+1, respectively, depending upon the contaminant that is to be removed. Thus, the counterion A can exist in multiple valence states.

In one embodiment, when the material is a topical carrier, the polyoxometalate or metal compound is from 5 to 30% by weight of topical composition.
- The present invention is capable of removing a single contaminant or multiple contaminants from an environment. The term “environment” as used herein refers to any media that contains at least one contaminant. In one embodiment, the environment comprises a liquid phase. In another embodiment, the environment comprises a gas phase.
- The term “remove” refers to, but is not limited to, the degradation of the contaminant, the conversion of the contaminant into another compound that is either less toxic or nontoxic and/or malodorous, or the adsorption of the contaminant by the polyoxometalate or the metal compound. The POM and metal compound can degrade the contaminant by a number of different mechanisms For example, the POM can aerobically oxidize the contaminant acetaldehyde (CH3CHO). Not wishing to be bound by theory, it is believed that the aerobic oxidation of CH3CHO proceeds by a radical chain mechanism (i.e., the initiation of the radical chain by CH3CHO+POMox−>CH3CO−+HPOMred).

- In another embodiment, the contaminant is a chemical warfare agent (CWA). The chemical warfare agents disclosed in Marrs, Timothy C.; Maynard, Robert. L; Sidell, Frederick R.;Chemical Warfare Agents Toxicology and Treatment; John Wiley & Sons: Chichester, England, 1996; Compton, James A. F. Military Chemical and Biological Agents Chemical and Toxicological Properties; The Telford Press: Caldwell, N.J., 1988; Somani; Satu M. Chemical Warfare Agents; Academic Press: San Diego, 1992, which are herein incorporated by reference in their entirety, can be removed by the polyoxometalate materials of the present invention.
- The present invention can remove a contaminant from the environment in the gas phase under mild conditions. In one embodiment, the contaminant can be removed from −50° C. to 250° C. at a pressure of from 0.1 ppb to 30 atm, preferably from 25° C. to 105° C. at 1 atm. In another embodiment, the lower temperature limit is −50, −40, −30, −20, −10, 0, 10, 20, 50, 75, 100, or 150° C., and the upper temperature limit is 50, 75, 100, 125, 150, 175, 200, 225, or 250° C. In a preferred embodiment, the present invention can remove a contaminant from the environment at room temperature (approximately 25° C.) and at 1 atm.

Similarly, the present invention can remove a contaminant under mild conditions when the environment is a liquid phase. In one embodiment, the contaminant can be removed from a liquid media at from 0° C. to 200° C. The temperature depends upon the liquid media that is being contacted and the contaminant to be removed.
- The POMs and metal compounds are typically used in the presence of an oxidizer to remove a contaminant from the environment. In one embodiment, the POMs and/or metal compounds are used in the presence of air, which oxidizes the POM and/or metal compound. In another embodiment, additional oxidizers can be used in combination with air to oxidize the POM and/or metal compound. Examples of oxidizers include, but are not limited to, peroxides and peracids. In a preferred embodiment, air is used as the oxidizer.
- The environment containing the contaminant can be contacted by the polyoxometalate materials or non-POM materials using a variety of techniques. For example, when the contaminant is in the liquid phase, the polyoxometalate material or non-POM material can be dipped or submersed into the liquid phase. Alternatively, the liquid phase can be filtered or passed through the polyoxometalate material or non-POM material When the contaminant is in the gas phase, the polyoxometalate material or non-POM material is typically placed in an open or closed environment that contains the contaminant(s).
- The polyoxometalate materials or non-POM materials of the present invention have a number of advantages over the prior art materials that do not use a polyoxometalate to remove a contaminant from the environment. One advantage is that the present invention can remove a contaminant from the environment starting within milliseconds of contact and can remove the contaminant for extended periods of time, ranging from several days to indefinitely. The POMs and metal compounds used in the present invention are capable of being regenerated to an active form that permits the removal of the contaminant. Another advantage is that some POMs and metal compounds can render the material more water resistant and increase the surface area of the material. Finally, when the material is a fabric or cellulosic fiber, the POM and metal compound can enhance the dyeability, light fastness, color fastness, and weaving properties of the fabric or cellulosic fiber.
- The polyoxometalate and metal compound can be incorporated into the material using techniques known in the art. In one embodiment, when the material is a topical carrier, powder, or coating, the polyoxometalate or metal compound is directly added to and admixed with the material. In another embodiment, the material (topical carrier, powder, coating, or fabric) is contacted with a mixture comprising the polyoxometalate or metal compound and a solvent. The polyoxometalate or metal compound can be soluble, partially soluble, or insoluble in the solvent, depending upon the polyoxometalate or metal compound and solvent selected. In one embodiment, the solvent is water. In another embodiment, the solvent can be an organic solvent. Examples of organic solvents useful in the present invention include, but are not limited to, acetonitrile, acetone, toluene, carbon dioxide, xylenes, 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone, dimethyl sulfoxide, or an alcohol, such as methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol, or 2-propanol.
- In one embodiment, when the material is a fabric or cellulosic fiber, the polyoxometalate or metal compound mixture is from 0.1 to 20% by weight polyoxometalate or metal compound and from 80 to 99.9% by weight water, preferably from 0.3 to 15% by weight polyoxometalate or metal compound and 85 to 99.7% water. Generally, the fabric or cellulosic fiber is dipped or immersed into the mixture containing the POM or metal compound for several hours to days at a temperature of from 0° C. to 100° C., preferably for 2 hours to 2 days at from 25° C. to 80° C. In another embodiment, the POM or metal compound can be admixed with a resin or adhesive, and the resultant adhesive is applied to the surface of or admixed with the fabric or cellulosic fiber.
- Typically, once the material has been contacted with the POM or metal compound mixture, the polyoxometalate material or non-POM material is dried in order to remove residual solvent. In one embodiment, the polyoxometalate materials or non-POM material is heated from 0° C. to 220° C. at or below atmospheric pressure, preferably from 25° C. to 100° C. In another embodiment, the polyoxometalate material or non-POM material is dried in vacuo (i.e., less than or equal to 10 torr).
- In another embodiment, when the material is a fabric or cellulosic fiber, the POM or metal compound can be incorporated into the fabric or cellulosic fiber by depositing the POM or metal compound on the surface of an existing fabric or cellulosic fiber, covalently bonding the POM or metal compound to the fibers of the fabric or cellulosic fiber, impregnating or intimately mixing the POM or metal compound with the fabric or cellulosic fiber, electrostatically bonding the POM or metal compound to the fabric or cellulosic fiber, or datively bonding the POM or metal compound to the fabric or cellulosic fiber via the coordination of a d- or f-block metal ion on the surface of the POM or metal compound with a functional group on the fabric. In the case of electrostatically bonding the POM to the fabric or cellulosic fiber, the positively charged functional groups on the fabric or cellulosic fiber and the negatively charged POM can form an electrostatic bond. In one embodiment, when the counterion of the polyoxometalate is a proton or the metal compound is an acid, the fabric or cellulosic fiber can be protonated by the polyoxometalate or metal compound to produce a positively charged fiber, which then electrostatically bonds to the polyoxometalate or metal compound anion. In one embodiment, a cationic polymer can be used as a binding agent to incorporate an anionic polyoxometalate or metal compound into an anionic fiber.

- The following POMs were prepared by the following experimental procedures.
- K5Si(NbO2)W11O40 (Entry 46): 1.0 g of K7HNb6O16 was dissolved in 75-mL of deionized H2O. To this solution, 2-mL of 30% H2O2 was added. A few drops of 3M HCl were added to bring the pH to approximately 6. K8SiW11O39 (15.8 g) was added, which resulted in gas evolution. To the swirling mixture, 25-mL of H2O followed by 12-mL of 3M HCl were added. The color of the solution was yellow and the pH was approximately 1. The mixture was stirred for an additional 30 minutes, then 14 g of solid KCl was added, which resulted in the formation of a pale yellow solid. The solid was collected by filtration and dried resulting in 4.7 g of K5Si(NbO2)W11O40.
- Na6SiVNbW11O39 (Entry 32): 6.64 g of K7Hb6O19 was dissolved in 800-mL of H2O. To this solution, 80-mL of 30% H2O2 solution was added and the pH was adjusted to 6.0 with KOH. Solid K9SiVW10O39 was added slowly to produce a final pH of 8.5. To this mixture, 40-mL of 3M HCl was added dropwise. The addition was stopped occasionally to agitate the solid. The solution was then stirred for 15 minutes. Additional 3M HCl (40-mL) was added to give a pH of 1.5. The solution was stirred for 1 hour, and 160 g of solid KCl was added. The orange precipitate was filtered off and dried, yielding 40.85 g of K6SiVNbW11O39. K6SiVNbW11O39 and water were passed through an Amberlite IR-120 ion exchange column which was charged with 1 M NaCl. The volatiles were removed from the collected solution by vacuum to produce Na6SiVNbW11O39 as a yellow, crystalline solid. The Amberlite is a product of Rohm and Haas and was purchased from Aldrich.
- Instrumentation. Gas chromatography analysis was conducted using a Hewlett-Packard Series 5890 Gas Chromatography equipped with a flame ionization detector and fitted with a non-polar 5% PHME siloxane, 30 meter column. Alternatively, the gas chromatography was equipped with an FID detector and a 5% phenyl methyl silicone capillary column. Mass abundance determinations were performed using a HP 5890 GC with a 5% phenyl methyl silicone capillary column and a 5971A Mass Selective Detector. Gas chromatography/mass spectroscopy was performed using a Hewlett-Packard Series II 5890 Gas Chromatograph equipped with a 5971A mass selective detector and fitted with a non-polar 5% PHME siloxane, 25 meter column. For both GC and GC-MS, nitrogen was used as the carrier gas. In Examples 5 and 6, all reactions were monitored using a Hewlett-Packard 6890 gas chromatograph with flame ionization detector and HP-5 (5% phenylmethylsilicone capillary column. UV-visible spectra were run on a HP 8452A Diode Array Spectrophotometer. The percentages of O2 of the reaction atmosphere were varied using a Series 810 Mass Trak flowmeter with dried argon as the other gas.
- PFPE #1511 (0.525 g) was combined with AgxNa5-xPV2Mo10O40 (0.066 g, 3.81×10−5 mol) to give a 11% weight/weight POM/cream mixture. The POM/cream mixture was placed in a 18 mL glass vial fitted with a poly(tetrafluoroethylene) (PTFE) stopper. A sufficient amount of 2-chloroethyl ethyl sulfide (CEES) was added to the mixture to completely submerge the POM/cream mixture. After 40 days, 10 μL of the CEES solution surrounding the POM/cream/mixture was removed and diluted into 100 μL of 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol (TFE). GC-MS of this solution showed the presence of 2-chloroethyl ethyl sulfoxide (CEESO).
- The CEES composition used in all trials was composed of 9.0 mL of CEES combined with 100 μL of 1,3-dichlorobenzene, where the 1,3-dichlorobenzene was added as an internal reference. Each POM/PFPE #1511 cream mixture (approximately 0.3 g) was smeared at the bottom of an 18 mL glass vial and fitted with a PTFE cap. The CEES composition (1.0 mL) was then added and each vial was left undisturbed for several days under ambient conditions, with periodic GC analysis of the CEES/reference solution to check for CEESO formation. For GC analysis, 10 μL of the CEES/reference solution surrounding the POM/cream mixture was diluted in 100 μL of TFE and analyzed. The results are shown in Table 1.

To this solution was added CEES (3.0×10−3 mol). Upon addition of CEES to the solution, a white precipitate immediately formed. The precipitate is believed to be a silver containing salt, possibly coordinated to CEES. The solution was allowed to stir for 100 hours, at which time there was loss of CEES in the solution based on gas chromatography. The filtrate was taken to dryness, and a solution containing excess CEES in acetonitrile was added to the yellow oily residue. Gas chromatography of the solution confirmed the formation of CEESO. The results are shown in Table 7 (entries 1-7).

A Schlenk flask fitted with septum was attached to a manometer and purged with O2. To the flask containing 1.36 mL of acetonitrile, solutions (all in acetonitrile) of 0.200 mL of (NEt4)AuCl2 (5.0×10−6 mol), 0.188 mL of AgClO4 solution (1.0×10−5 mol), 0.094 mL NBu4NO3 solution (5.0×10−6 mol), 0.166
mL 1,3-dichlorobenzene (7.5×10−4 mol) (internal standard for GC), and 0.084 mL CEES (3.8×10−4 mol) were added. The consumption of O2 was recorded, and aliquots were periodically taken and injected into the GC. The stoichiometry of O2 consumption was established using a manometer to determine the amount of O2 consumed while simultaneously monitoring CEESO formation with a gas chromatograph FIG. 1 reveals that one equivalent of the CEESO formed corresponds to 0.5 equivalents of O2. - (b) Cream Formulation Reactions. Experiments were performed using the perfluorinated oil, Galden DO2, and Fomblin perfluorinated polyether oil as “solvent,” both of which are components of the cream. Samples were prepared by adding components together, dissolving in a minimal amount of acetonitrile, stirring for 10 minutes, and then removing the solvent by vacuum.
- In all the cases where (NEt4)AuCl2 was used as the gold compound, 1.25×10−5 mol of the gold compound was used. The other components which were varied in quantities were NBu4NO3 (1.25×10−5−1.25×10−4 mol), and a CuSO4 (125×10−5−1.25×10−4 mol) (Table 9). The gold, copper, and/or nitrate salts were admixed in acetonitrile, then the solvent was removed by vacuum. After the mixture was dried by vacuum in a Schlenk flask, the flask is attached to the manometer and the apparatus is purged with O2. After purging, 7.0 mL of the perfluorinated fluid was added to the flask. The system was equilibrated to atmospheric pressure then sealed from any external atmosphere. Through the septum 0.05 mL (4.2×10−4 mol) of CEES was added and the system was monitored for O2 consumption. Table 9 shows CEESO formation after 1 hour using various cream formulations (7.0 mL Galden DO2).

The catalyst was prepared and the experiment was performed using the same method as earlier reported. Table 10 reveals CEESO formation in PFPE Surfactant (1.0 mL Fomblin) using various metal compounds. The metal compounds are abbreviated for simplicity sake. For example, metal compound 1Au/1Cu(II)/1NO3 was prepared by mixing one equivalent each of (NEt4)AuCl2, CuSO4, and NBu4NO3.

From the data in Table 10 and FIG. 2, it is clear that there was a synergistic effect when certain redox active metals were added to the Au/NO3 system. For example, one of the most active systems, 1Au/2Cu(II)/3NO3 was 3.8 and 6.5 times more effective after 10 minutes of reaction time than when only 2 of the components were used, 1Au/3NO3 and 2Cu(II)/3NO3 respectively. Also, FIG. 2 shows that inhibition was less pronounced in the three component system. Another important aspect of this system is that the oxidation terminates to the sulfoxide without continued oxidation to yield the sulfone. This is important as it relates to toxicity issues as it is believed that the sulfoxide of mustard gas is significantly less toxic than the corresponding sulfone.
