Spectrophotometric study of the reaction of Co(II) and Ni(II) with nitroso-R-salt and α-nitroso-β-naphthol

The complexes of Co(II) and Ni(II) with nitroso-R-salt are studied by conductometric titration and spectrophotometric methods in buffer solutions of differentpH. The study proved the possible formation of (11), (12) and (13) complexes for Co(II) while Ni(II) forms (11) and (12) complexes (metal:ligand) only. The factors affecting complex formation are established and the formation constants of the complexes are evaluated. The ir spectra of the solid complexes with -nitroso--naphthol revealed that the ligand exhibits the nitrosophenol structure and that the reaction takes place through proton displacement from the OH-group.

Spektrophotometrische Studie zur Reaktion von Co(II) und Ni(II) mit Nitroso-R-Salz und -Nitroso--naphthol

Zusammenfassung Es wurden die Komplexe von Co(II) und Ni(II) mit Nitroso-R-Salz mittels konduktometrischer und spektrophotometrischer Methoden in Puffer-Lösungen mit verschiedenempH untersucht. Für Co(II) wurden (11)-, (12)- und (13)-Komplexe gefunden, während für Ni(II) lediglich (11)- und (12)-Komplexe (Metall:Ligand) festgestellt werden konnten. Die Faktoren, die die Komplexierung bestimmen, werden diskutiert und die Komplexbildungskonstanten wurden bestimmt. Die IR-Spektren der Komplexe mit -Nitroso--naphthol zeigen, daß der Ligand in der Nitrosophenol-Form vorliegt und daß die Reaktion über eine Protonenverschiebung von der OH-Gruppe verläuft.

     

Solutions of alkali soaps and water in fatty acids XI. Correlation between the acid sodium octanoate in the most water-rich part of the L2-phase and the acid soaps in two adjacent phases

The special nature of the outer-most water-rich region of theL ₂-phase in the ternary system sodium octanoate-octanoic acid-water is evidenced by its somewhat turbid appearance and by the character of its equilibria with adjacent phases. The phase contains aggregated acid sodium octanoate which is dispersed in a very dilute aqueous solution of sodium octanoate. The acid octanoate has the composition 1 NaC₈2 HC₈x H₂O and is composed of closely packed amphiphilic units, all with the polar groups in the same direction. This acid soap obviously forms double-layered aggregates with the lipophilic hydrocarbon chains pointing inwards and the polar groups pointing outwards towards the surrounding bulk-water. The phase is formed when octanoic acid is added to theL ₁-phase of the system just above the l.a.c.; in this aqueous solution, the acid reacts with dissolved acid octanoate 1 NaC₈1 HC₈x H₂O and that results in the formation of the slightly soluble acid soap 1 NaC₈ 2 HC₈x H₂O that separates as a new phase, the turbidL ₂ phase. On further addition of octanoic acid, the content of the mentioned acid soap increases until the solution phase is transformed into a liquid crystalline lamellarD-phase with the same acid soap composition. This formation of acid soap 1 NaA2 HA on addition of fatty acid to the dilute soap solution just above the l.a.c., has been known for a long time to occur in various systems containing a long-chain sodium soap. However, at suitably low temperatures, the reaction in these systems does not result in separation of the acid soap in the liquid crystalline, but in the solid crystalline state.     

Simultaneous determination of iron(III) and cobalt(II) withN-phenylcinnamohydroxamic acid and thiocyanate by extraction and spectrophotometry

Simple, precise, sensitive, and highly selective methods for the separate determination of iron(III) and cobalt(II) and for the simultaneous determination of both metal ions are described. Iron(III) and cobalt(II) react with thiocyanate in the presence ofN-phenylcinnamohydroxamic acid (PCHA) to form pinkish red and blue coloured complexes, respectively. Both the iron(III) and cobalt(II) complexes having stoichiometric composition of 122 (FeSCN^–PCHA) and 14 (CoSCN^–), respectively, are quantitatively extractable into ethylacetate from 0.5–1.5 M hydrochloric acid solutions. The spectra of iron(III) and cobalt(II) complexes in the visible region exhibit absorption maxima at 495 and 625 nm, respectively. The coloured systems obey Beer's law in the concentration range of 0.2–4.0g/ml of iron and 2–40g/ml of cobalt. The effects of foreign ions and of various experimental parameters were studied to establish the optimum conditions for the extraction and determination of iron and cobalt. The methods have been applied successfully to the analysis of blood, vitamin B₁₂, and standard steels for iron and cobalt.

Nephelometric determination of germanium(IV) witho-phenanthroline and bromopyrogallol red in the presence of triton X-100

The light scattering of germanium(IV) witho-phenanthroline [phen] and bromopyrogallol red [BPR] in the presence of Triton X-100 has been studied. The ternary complex shows a constant light scattering intensity in an acidic medium (0.02 mol/l HCl+0.02 mol/l H₃PO₄). The maximum wavelength was 332 nm. The calibration graph is linear in the range 0.03–10 g/25 ml for Ge(IV). The detection limit is 0.03 g/25 ml. The composition of the ternary complex is GephenBPR = 122. The effects of diverse ions on the determination of Ge(IV) were examined. This simple method with high sensitivity can be successfully applied to the determination of Ge(IV) in coal fly ash, with a relative standard deviation of 2%.     

Chromatographie sur couche mince des acides aliphatiques non volatils. Partie I. Nouveaux solvants mobiles contenant un acide volatil. Observations préliminaires

Résumé De nouveaux solvants mobiles contenant un acide volatil sont proposés pour la séparation des acides aliphatiques non volatils du métabolisme et des fermentations et des diacides aliphatiques à chaîne droite. Les solvants les plus efficaces du point de vue séparation, sont ceux qui contiennent des éthers. Les meilleurs chromatogrammes sont ceux pour lesquels les frontières d'autochromatographie des produits issus des liants de la couche et des composants du solvant ont une très faible mobilitè. D'excellentes séparations sont obtenues par chromatographie sur couche mince de poudre de cellulose. Les solvants mobiles les plus intéressants sont:Eucalyptol/acide formique 98%/eau (65025075) Ether di-n-butylique/acide formique 98%/eau (65025022)Ether di-isopropylique/acide formique 98%/eau (650250100) Ether di-isoamylique/acide formique 98%/eau (6502505,5)Benzène/acide propionique/eau (47047057) Toluène/acide propionique/eau (47047049)Par suite des propriétés adsorbantes et échangeuses d'ions du gel de silice, les résultats obtenus sur ces couches minces sont décevants pour la plupart des acides aliphatiques lorsqu'on les chromatographie dans un solvant mobile alcalin. Il en est de même pour les acides oxalique et malonique, les hydroxyacides et les acides aliphatiques du métabolisme et des fermentations lorsqu'on les chromatographie dans un solvant mobile acide.

Thin-layer chromatography of non-volatile aliphatic acids. Part I. New mobile phases containing a volatile acid. Preliminary observations

Summary New mobile phases containing a volatile acid are proposed for the separation of non-volatile aliphatic acids (metabolic acids or acids produced in fermentation) and of straight-chain aliphatic diacids. From the point of view of separations, solvents containing ethers are the most efficient. Best results are obtained when impurities in the binder and the components of the solvent are of very low mobility. Excellent separations are obtained by chromatography on cellulose powder thin layers.The most interesting mobile solvents are: Eucalyptol/98% formic acid/water (65025075) n-Dibutyl-ether/98% formic acid/water (65025022). Diisopropyl-ether/98% formic acid/water (650250100). Diisoamyl-ether/98% formic acid/water (6502505.5). Benzene/propionic acid/water (47047057). Toluene/propionic acid/water (47047049).Because of its adsorbent and ion-exchange properties, results obtained with thin layers of silica gel are disappointing for most aliphatic acids when chromatographed using an alkaline mobile phase, and for oxalic and malonic acids, hydroxyacids, aliphatic metabolic acids and aliphatic acids produced during fermentation when chromatographed using an acid mobile phase.

     

Structure of gangliosides from gonads of the starfish Evasterias retifera

Mono- and disialogangliosides were isolated from gonads of the starfish Evasterias retifera. Their structures were elucidated using chemical methods, GC-MS analysis, and enzymatic hydrolysis with neuraminidase. The monosialoganglioside has the structure 8-O-Me-Neu5Gc-23-GalNAc-13-Gal-14-Glc-11-Cer, while the disialoganglioside contains an additional Neu5Ac residue which glycosylates GalNAc in position 6. The lipid moieties of both gangliosides contain phytosphingosine (mainly C_18:0) and two types of fatty acids, unsubstituted (mainly C_16:0 and C_18:0) and -hydroxy acids (mainly -hydroxy-C_16:0).     

Host-guest interactions in aqueous media withp-tert.-butylcalix[4]arene bearing polyoxyethylene chains

The interactions ofp-tert.-butylcalix[4]arene bearing polyoxyethylene chains (C3) with pyrene (Py), 1-anilino-8-naphthalenesulfonate (ANS) andN-phenyl-naphthylamine (NPN) in aqueous solution were studied by absorption and fluorescence measurements. Absorption spectral changes and fluorescence enhancements reveal that C3, which has a hydrophobic cavity, can include organic molecules and ions in aqueous solution and form 11 host-guest complexes with ANS and NPN. C3 forms inclusion complexes with Py at different stoichiometries depending on the host: guest molar ratio. Binding constants of 2.2×10⁴, 2.0×10⁴ and 3.6×10⁵ dm³ mol^–1 were calculated for the C3Py, C3ANS and C3NPN complexes (11), respectively, based on the Benesi-Hildebrand equation.Author for correspondence.

Solutions of alkali soaps and water in fatty acids XIII. Circumstances that regulate the extension of theL 2-phase and the role of the acid-soaps rich in fatty acid for the occurrence of the phase

A basic requirement for that type ofL ₂-phase which exists in the system sodium octanoate-octanoic acid-water is the formation of acid-soaps. In order for the phase to be formed at all, the temperature must lie above the melting point of the fatty acid so that a reaction in non-aqueous milieu between neutral soap and fatty acid is possible. In order to obtain the characteristic shape and complete extension of the phase in direction of high water content the temperature must be so high that also the hydrated acid-soaps occur in fluid state. On the other hand the temperature cannot be so high that the acid-soaps become unstable.At temperatures at which the phase has obtained its full extension those circumstances differs which in different regions regulate the location of the phase borders; they depend on the composition of the acid soaps and on their amounts. In that part of the phase where the molar ratio between octanoic acid and sodium octanoate lies between 2 and 3 and where one has a continuous transition from reversed to normal structure only the two acid octanoates 1 NaC₈ 2 HC₈ x H₂O and 1 NaC₈ 3 HC₈ x H₂O occur and both are at 20 °C in fluid state.At water contents from about 22 % to 40 % the hydrate-water molecules belonging to the first mentioned soap are capable of contributing actively to the formation of large aggregates of acid-soap, a process which however is counteracted by the inmixing of the latter acid-soap. This mixture of the two acid-soaps decides in this region where the border of the phase will lie in direction towards an increased content of sodium octanoate; the result is that in spite of the fact that the hydration is increased, the border is only slowly displaced towards a higher content of fatty acid. As soon as the hydration of the acid octanoates has been completed and the additional water occurs as unbound bulkwater, the location of the phase boundary will no longer be influenced by the water content — now it will be the amphiphilic composition of the acid-soaps that determines the location of the border and it remains at the molar ratio 2.5 between octanoic acid and sodium octanoate at water contents from about 40% and up to 82%.In the direction of decreasing content of neutral sodium octanoate and increased content of water theL ₂-phase both at the highest content of fatty acid and the highest contents of water will be in equilibrium with the water-richL ₁-phase; in the first mentioned region with theL ₁-phase below the lac where at the border it is saturated with octanoic acid and in the latter region with theL ₁-phase just above the lac, where the dilute sodium octanoate solution contains dissolved 1 NaC₈ 1HC₈ x H₂O. In the large central part of theL ₂-phase, from about 20 % to about 86 % of water, the location of the border is dominated by the acid octanoate 1 NaC₈ 3 HC₈ x H₂O and that makes an equilibrium with theL ₁-phase impossible; instead one has an equilibrium via a two-phase zone between the amphiphile-rich region of theL ₂-phase and its water-rich region. In the first region the location of the border is regulated by the decreasing capability of the hydrated acid octanoate 1 NaC₈ 3 HC₈ x H₂O to dissolve octanoic acid; in the latter it is regulated by the fact that 1 NaC₈ 3 HC₈ x H₂O is the most fatty acid-rich acid-soap that is formed and that the octanoic acid is very little soluble in water and in the aqueous solution of this acidsoap.The middle part of theL ₂-phase, especially the region between about 55 % and 82 % of water, constitutes a direct continuation of the liquid crystalline lamellarD-phase. The liquid crystalline character of theD-phase is lost at the transition, but the lamellar organization is retained. That the molecules at least up to a water content of about 40 % are of the original reversed type and have an elongated shape with a central part of hydrated polar groups, from which core the hydrocarbon chains extend in two opposite directions, is the reason to that they, at crowding, form transient layer-like agglomerates of tightly packed more or less parallel molecules; this facilitates the transformation to coherent double amphiphilic layers, in which all molecules lie with the hydrated polar groups outwards toward coherent domains of bulk-water, without another liquid phase occurs.     

Triterpene glycosides from Pulsatilla chinensis

Four triterpene glycosides were isolated from the roots of Pulsatilla chinensis (Bunge) Regel (Ranunculaceae). Two new glycosides, chinensiosides A (1a) and B (2), were identified as 3-O-[-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(12)--L-arabinopyranosyl]-28-O-[-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(14)--D-glucopyranosyl-(16)--D-glucopyranosyl]-3,23-dihydroxylup-20(29)-en-28-oic acid and 3-O-{-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(12)-[-D-glucopyranosyl-(14)]--L-arabinopyranosyl}-28-O-[-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(14)--D-glucopyranosyl-(16)--D-glucopyranosyl]-3,23-dihydroxylup-20(29)-en-28-oic acid. The other two glycosides were identified as previously known hederasaponin C (3) from Hedera helix and glycoside III (4) from Pulsatilla cernua.

Extraction and spectrophotometric determination of titanium(IV) withN 1-hydroxy-N 1,N 2-diphenylbenzamidine and thiocyanate

A precise, reliable, sensitive, and selective method for the determination of titanium(IV) is described. Titanium(IV) reacts withN ¹-hydroxy-N ¹,N ²-diphenylbenzamidine (HDPBA) and thiocyanate to form an orange-coloured mixed-ligand complex of stoichiometry 112 (Ti SCN^– HDPBA). The complex is quantitatively extractable into toluene from 0.05–0.15M hydrochloric acid. The spectrum of the complex exhibits an absorption maximum at 400 nm with a molar absorptivity of 20000M ^–1 cm^–1 and the coloured system obeys Beer's law in the concentration range 0.20–3.0 gml^–1 titanium. The effects of foreign ions and of various experimental parameters have been studied to establish the optimum conditions for the extraction and determination of titanium. The precision of the method has been evaluated and the relative standard deviation has been found to be 0.53%. The method has been successfully applied to the determination of titanium in synthetic matrices corresponding to titanium-containing ores, minerals, and alloys.
