NMR Study of Non-freezing Water in Protein-Modified Carbon Adsorbents

Temperature dependences of ¹H NMR spin–spin relaxation were studied for the non-freezing water at the surface of carbon matrices modified with proteins (human serum albumin (HSA) and mouse immunoglobulin (MIG)) in the presence of water-soluble carbodiimide. The entropy, S , and enthalpy, H , values characterizing molecular mobility in non-freezing water were estimated. The compensation effect was observed for all modified samples, which is well approximated by the linear dependence of the type H = T ₀S + H ₀. The compensation temperature T ₀ = 231 ± 33 corresponds to such a state of non-freezing water, when the effect of modifying additives on the isobaric potential of molecular mobility activation in the non-freezing water, G , is minimal. The G has approximately constant value equal to H ₀ = 24.2 ± 0.5 kJ/mol. Modification of the base carbon matrix with MIG protein results in higher structurization of the non-freezing water, whereas HSA reduces this structurization. The observed effects are explained in terms of the hydration of modifying agents and also by the peculiarities of their location on the surface of carbon adsorbent.     

Kinetics and mechanism of monomolecular heterolysis of commercial organohalogen compounds: XXXVIII. Correlation analysis of solvent effects on the activation parameters of heterolysis of <Emphasis Type="Italic">t</Emphasis>-BuBr and <Emphasis Type="Italic">t</Emphasis>-BuI

Heterolysis of t-BuBr and t-BuI in aprotic solvents involves a H - S compensation effect. The G of t-BuBr heterolysis in aprotic solvents decreases with increasing solvent polarity and cohesion, whereas the respective value for t-BuI heterolysis decreases with increasing solvent polarity, nucleophilicity, and polarizability. In protic solvents, a negative effect of nucleophilic solvation is observed.Translated from Zhurnal Obshchei Khimii, Vol. 74, No. 9, 2004, pp. 1476–1483.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2004 by Ponomarev, Zaliznyi, Dvorko.This revised version was published online in April 2005 with a corrected cover date.

Solvent effects on substitution reactions at complexes of the [Fe(CN)5L]3- type in binary aqueous mixtures

Summary The kinetics of replacement of 4,4-bipyridine, (4,4-bipy), and 4-cyanopyridine, (4-CNpy), by cyanide in [Fe(CN)₅-(4,4-bipy)]^3-. at 298 K have been studied in binary aqueous mixtures containing different amounts of t-butanol, methanol, glycerol, ethyleneglycol and sucrose. The plots of logarithms of the limiting rate constantsversus the mole fraction of water are linear over the entire composition range studied, showing the importance of solvation phenomena. A different straight line of log (k_L/s^–1)versus X_H2O is obtained for each mixture, indicating the influence of other solvent parameters on the reaction rate. A multiparameter regression of G _exp with A (acidity vector), B (basicity vector) and G^E is used for both reactions; plots of G _calc versus G _exp are linear with slopes of near unity.

Study on the thermokinetic properties of bacterial growth

The power-time curves of bacterial growth at different temperatures were determined by using the 2277 Thermal Activity Monitor (Sweden). From these curves, the growth rate constant () and activation energy (E _a) were calculated. According to the transition state theory of reaction dynamics, the activation entropy (S), activation Gibbs free energy (G) and equilibrium constant (K ) of the activation state could be calculated. These results permitted thermodynamic analysis of the bacterial growth metabolism.Supported by the Natural Science Foundation of Shandong Province.     

Kinetics of oxidation of bis(ethylenediamine)mercaptoacetatocobalt (III) ion by periodate in water-t-butanol and water-methanol mixtures at different perchloric acid concentrations

Summary The kinetics of oxidation of the bis(ethylenediamine)mercaptoacetatocobalt (III) ion by periodate were investigated as a function of perchloric acid concentration, ionic strength and temperature. Furthermore, the effect of a nonaqueous component of the solvent on the rate constant and activation parameters H and S in the water-t-butanol and water-methanol mixtures was estimated. The solvent effect is discussed from the viewpoint of the change in solvation of initial and transition states on going from water to a mixed solvent.     

Die Ringinversions-Barriere in [2.2]Metacyclophan

From racemization studies on optically active [2.2]metacyclophanes substituted in position 4, the parameters of activation for the inversion of the tenmembered ring were found to be: G ₄₂₃ =31.5 kcal/mole, H =27.5 kcal/mole and S =–10 Cl/mole.Racemization does not occurvia bond forming or breaking; the value for the inversion barrier is not affected by substituents in position 4 and therefore corresponds to the value of unsubstituted [2.2]metacyclophane, whereas substituents in the bridge exert a distinct influence. These results can easily be explained on the basis of the isoconformational concept.

Effect of acid-base equilibria of reactants and the effect of waterorganic mixtures on the kinetics of oxidation of cysteinsulphenatobis(ethylenediamine)cobalt(III) ion by periodate

Summary The kinetics of oxidation of cysteinsulphenatobis(ethylenediamine)cobalt(III) ion by periodate were investigated in mixtures containing up to 40%t-BuOH andi-PrOH. The effect of acid-base equilibria on the rate constants and activation parameters H, S and the effect ionic strength on the rate constant at different concentrations HClO₄ are also reported. The solvent effects on the oxidation at the different pH are interpreted in terms of solvation of the initial and transition states.     

Effect of the Nucleophile Structure on the Relative Mobility of the Nitro Group and Fluorine Atom in Reactions of 3,5-Dinitro- and 3-Fluoro-5-nitrobenzotrifluorides with Phenols in the Presence of Potassium Carbonate

The relative mobility of the nitro group and fluorine atom in 3,5-dinitro- and 3-fluoro-5-nitrobenzofluorides was estimated by the competing reaction technique using phenols in the presence of potassium carbonate (DMF, 65-95°C). Correlation analysis of the relative rate constants k(NO₂)/k(F) and of the differences in the activation parameters (H and S ) of competing reactions showed the existence of two reaction series for the examined phenols. The higher mobility of the nitro group was found to result from the entropy control of the reactivity of arenes. The mechanism of these reactions is discussed.     

Kinetics of the interaction of aquo-ethylenediaminetetraacetatoruthenate(III) with ferricyanide ion in water

Summary The interaction of aquo-ethylenediaminetetraacetatoruthenate(III) with ferricyanide ion was studied spectrophotometrically as a function of ferricyanide ion concentration, pH (1.5–8.5) and temperature (30–45°C) at ionic strength 0.2 M (NaClO₄). Kinetic and activation parameters (H=27.1±1.75 KJ mol^–1, S=–136.7±5.57 J mol^–1 deg^–1) are consistent with the proposed mechanism.

Conclusions The relationship between the free energies of activation G and reaction G_o for proton transfer processes have been analyzed, taking into account the effect of hindered rotation of the reagents. We have shown that the considered effect can considerably affect the shape of the G=f(G_o) curve.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 1, pp. 77–81, January 1989.     

Thermodynamic study of solvent extraction of monovalent metal picrates with benzo-18-crown-6 into chloroform

Thermodynamic parameters (H _ex ⁰ and S _ex ⁰ ) for the overall extractions of monovalent metal (Na, K, Rb, and Tl) picrates with benzo-18-crown-6 (B18C6), and those (H _D,L ⁰ and S _D,L ⁰ ) for the distribution of B18C6 were determined between chloroform and water. All the extracted B18C6 complexes were l:1:1 complexes (B18C6:metal ion: picrate anion). The H _ex ⁰ and S _ex ⁰ values for all the metals are negative. Every extraction of the metal picrate with B18C6 is completely enthalpy driven. The H _D,L ⁰ and S _D,L ⁰ values of B18C6 are both positive, and the partition of B18C6 is entirely entropy driven. Enthalpy (H _ex,ip ⁰ ) and entropy changes (S _ex,ip ⁰ ) for ion-pair extractions of B18C6-metal ion complexes with picrate anions were calculated. All the H _ex,ip ⁰ and S _ex,ip ⁰ values are negative, and the ion-pair extractions are completely enthalpy driven.     

Effects of pressure and solvent on the diffusion of aromatic compounds through polymers

The diffusion of six azo and five anthraquinone derivatives through nylon 6, poly(ethylene terephthalate) and secondary cellulose acetate films were studied under high hydrostatic pressures of up to 3000 bar and at temperatures 80–130 °C, by analyzing the diffusion profiles yielded in a stacked multiple film, placed in the solution of the diffusant. It was found that the diffusion coefficient,D, of the diffusant decreased with increasing pressure, giving a linear relationship between InD and the pressure, the slope of which gave the activation volume for the diffusion,V . It was revealedV increased linearly with increasing intrinsic molecular volume of the diffusant,V _w , the slopes being different between the azo and the anthraquinone derivatives. The ratio ofV toV _w (V /V _w ) ranged from 0.13 to 0.93, depending in a sensitive manner on the degree of swelling of the polymer matrix which in turn was varied by the solvent. The overall results could be explained in accordance with the formulation,V _{f, local} +V =V _w , whereV _{f, local} represents the free volume contribution. It was proposed thatV _w is increased by solvation when the solvent is good for the diffusant.     

Kinetics and mechanism of oxidation of allyl alcohol byN-bromosuccinimide

The kinetics of oxidation of allyl alcohol byN-bromosuccinimide (NBS) has been studied at 35 °C in aqueous medium. The reaction shows first order dependence on bothNBS and allyl alcohol. In fairly high acid concentration, there is no change in the rate of the reaction but at low acid concentration, the rate is considerably enhanced. There is no primary salt effect. At varying mercuric acetate concentrations, the rate constant remains the same. But in the absence of mercuric acetate, the rate is enhanced. The kinetic parameters,E _a,Arrhenius factorA, H, G and S have been calculated. A rate law in agreement with experimental results has been derived. A mechanism is proposed.

Ein Geschwindigkeitsgesetz in Übereinstimmung mit den experimentellen Befunden wurde abgeleitet und ein Mechanismus vorgeschlagen.

     

Relativistic perturbation theory of molecular structure

Summary The recently developed relativistic double perturbation theory is extended to handle relativistic changes of molecular structure more easily. This is achieved by simple coordinate scalings. Accurate higher order mixed perturbation energies for H ₂ ⁺ are calculated. The relativistic changes of bond energy,DE, of bond length,R _e , and especially of force constant,k, and of anharmonicity,a, are large, up to 100%·(Z/c)². The dominant contributions tok anda are due to the indirect change of the nonrelativistick anda connected with the relativistic change of bond length. Accordingly the relativistic changes obey Badger's and Gordy's rules (–RDEk).Dedicated to Prof. Klaus Ruedenberg in appreciation of his fundamental contributions to both formal theory and physical explanations in quantum chemistry     

Simulation of adsorption dynamics in adsorbent layers of short length. Estimation of the concentration region of validity of Zeldovich"s equality

The frontal adsorption dynamics with the convex adsorption isotherm at a stage of parallel transfer, was numerically simulated. The change with time in the mean adsorption values a _c in the adsorbent layers of short length L and corresponding concentrations c _L at the outlet from L was calculated. Zeldovich"s equality, which suggests that the ratio of c _L to a _c is equal to the ratio of the inlet fluid phase concentration to the amount adsorbed at equilibrium, is fulfilled at L 0 over the interval of relative concentrations from 10^–4 to 1. This indicates that Zeldovich"s equality is fulfilled as local at any limiting stage of mass transfer. The nonequilibrium dynamics of adsorption always has the finite L value at which the calculated c _L and a _c values approximately coincide with the a and c values of the equilibrium adsorption isotherm.
