Interaction of polyvinylpyrrolidone with methyl orange and its homologs in aqueous solution: Thermodynamics of the binding equilibria and their temperature dependences

The interaction of polyvinylpyrrolidone with methyl orange, ethyl orange, propyl orange, and butyl orange has been studied by an equilibrium dialysis method at 5, 15, 25, and 35°C. The first binding constants and the thermodynamic parameters in the course of the binding have been calculated. It was found that the free energy and the enthalpy changes are all negative and the entropy change is largely positive. The longer the alkyl chain of the dyes, the more positive is the enthalpy change (though it is always in the negative direction) and hence the larger is the entropy change. The favorable free energy of the binding of butyl orange observed for the formation of the dye–polymer complex seems to be a result of a favorable entropy change rather than any favorable enthalpy change. Temperature dependences of the thermodynamic functions were apparently observed. That is, ΔF and ΔH become larger in absolute magnitude as the temperature increases. The positive quantity of ΔS tends to decrease with increasing temperture. All these facts obtained can be interpreted satisfactorily by the hydrophobic interaction between hydrocarbon portions of the dyes and nonpolar parts of the macromolecule.     

Chromatographic Framework to Determine the Memantine Binding Mechanism on Human Serum Albumin Surface

In this work, the interaction of memantine with human serum albumin (HSA) immobilized on porous silica particles was studied using a biochromatographic approach. The determination of the enthalpy change at different pH values suggested that the protonated group in the memantine–HSA complex exhibits a heat protonation with a magnitude around 65 kJ mol^?1. This value agrees with the protonation of a guanidinium group, and confirmed that an arginine group may become protonated in the memantine–HSA complex formation. The thermodynamic data showed that memantine–HSA binding, for low temperature (<293 K), is dominated by a positive entropy change. This result suggests that dehydration at the binding interface and charge–charge interactions contribute to the memantine–HSA complex formation. Above 293 K, the thermodynamic data ΔH and ΔS became negative due to van der Waals interactions and hydrogen bonding which are engaged at the complex interface. The temperature dependence of the free energy of binding is weak because of the enthalpy–entropy compensation caused by a large heat capacity change, ΔC _p = ? 3.79 kJ mol^?1 K^?1 at pH = 7. These results were used to determine the potential binding site of this drug on HSA.     

Thermodynamic denaturation of β-lactoglobulin in the presence of cetylpyridinium chloride

In this work, we determined the stability parameters of bovine β-lactoglobulin, variant A, (BLG-A), in relation to their transition curves induced by cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) as a cationic surfactant. The experiments took place over the temperature range of 298 K to 358 K. For each transition curve at any specific temperature, the conventional method of analysis, which assumes a linear concentration dependence of the pre- and post-transition base lines, gave the most realistic values for ΔG_D(H₂O). Results show that the minimum value of ΔG_D(H₂O) occurs at T = 328 K. Using the Gibbs–Helmholtz equation, the values of enthalpy, ΔH_D, and entropy, ΔS_D, of denaturation have been calculated considering temperature dependence of ΔG_D at any specified concentration of CPC. The values of 12.05 kJ · mol⁻¹, 18.54 kJ · mol⁻¹, and 18.32 J · mol⁻¹ · K⁻¹, were obtained for ΔG_D(H₂O), ΔH_D(H₂O), and ΔS_D(H₂O), respectively. The results show that the enthalpy term dominates the entropy term.     

Interaction of poly(vinylpyrrolidone) with methyl orange and its homologs in aqueous solution over the temperature range 60–90°c

The binding of methyl orange, ethyl orange, propyl orange, and butyl orange by poly(vinylpyrrolidone) has been examined by a technique of equilibrium dialysis over a high temperature range (60–90°C). The first binding constants and the thermodynamic parameters in the course of the binding were evaluated. The results obtained at these temperatures were compared to those at lower ones (5–35°C) described previously in order to estimate the contribution of hydrophobic bonds to the binding. It was found that at the 60–90°C range complex formation between the dye and the macromolecule is associated with an exothermic enthalpy change and a positive entropy change. The enthalpy and entropy changes of the binding are of the order of ?4.5 kcal/mole and 6 eu, respectively, for each dye measured. Thus the binding is mainly enthalpy-controlled. Furthermore the effect of the alkyl chain length of the dye on both the ΔH° and ΔS° values is not pronounced. Also temperature dependences of the ΔH° and ΔS° terms were not observed. All these observations in the higher temperature range can be explained as a result of the disruption of water structure in the binding environment and hence a decrease in hydrophobic bond formation between the dye and the polymer.     

Variable‐Temperature Infrared Spectroscopy Studies on the Thermodynamics of CO Adsorption on the Zeolite Ca–Y

Variable temperature FT–IR spectroscopy (in the range of 298–380 K) is used to study the thermodynamics of formation of Ca²⁺???CO carbonyl species upon CO adsorption on the faujasite‐type zeolite Ca–Y, and also the (temperature‐dependent) isomerization equilibrium between carbonyl and isocarbonyl (Ca²⁺???OC) species. The standard enthalpy and entropy changes involved in formation of the monocarbonyl species resulted to be ΔH⁰=?50.3 (±0.5) kJ mol^?1 and ΔS⁰=?186 (±5) J mol^?1 K^?1, respectively. Isomerization of the (C‐bonded) Ca²⁺???CO carbonyl to yield the (O‐bonded) Ca²⁺???OC isocarbonyl involves an enthalpy change =+11.4 (±1.0) kJ mol^?1. These results are compared with previously reported data for the CO/Sr–Y system; and also, a brief analysis of enthalpy–entropy correlation for CO adsorption on zeolites and metal oxides is given.

Thermodynamics of Hydrogen Adsorption on Metal‐Organic Frameworks

Interaction between adsorbed hydrogen and the coordinatively unsaturated Mg²⁺ and Co²⁺ cationic centres in Mg‐MOF‐74 and Co‐MOF‐74, respectively, was studied by means of variable‐temperature infrared (VTIR) spectroscopy. Perturbation of the H₂ molecule by the cationic adsorbing centre renders the H? H stretching mode IR‐active at 4088 and 4043 cm^?1 for Mg‐MOF‐74 and Co‐MOF‐74, respectively. Simultaneous measurement of integrated IR absorbance and hydrogen equilibrium pressure for spectra taken over the temperature range of 79–95 K allowed standard adsorption enthalpy and entropy to be determined. Mg‐MOF‐74 showed ΔH⁰=?9.4 kJ mol^?1 and ΔS⁰=?120 J mol^?1 K^?1, whereas for Co‐MOF‐74 the corresponding values of ΔH⁰=?11.2 kJ mol^?1 and ΔS⁰=?130 J mol^?1 K^?1 were obtained. The observed positive correlation between standard adsorption enthalpy and entropy is discussed in the broader context of corresponding data for hydrogen adsorption on cation‐exchanged zeolites, with a focus on the resulting implications for hydrogen storage and delivering.     

Adsorption of Methylene Blue from Aqueous Solution on High Lime Fly Ash: Kinetic,Equilibrium, and Thermodynamic Studies

Kinetic, equilibrium, and thermodynamic studies were performed for the batch adsorption of methylene blue (MB) on the high lime fly ash as a low cost adsorbent material. The studied operating variables were adsorbent amount, contact time, dye concentration, and temperature. The kinetic data were analyzed using the pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order kinetic models and the adsorption kinetic was followed well by the pseudo-second order kinetic model. The equilibrium data were fitted with the Freundlich, Langmuir, and Dubinin Radushkevich (D–R) isotherms and the equilibrium data were found to be well represented by the Freundlich and D–R isotherms. Based on these two isotherms MB is taken by chemical ion exchange and active sites on the high lime fly ash have different affinities to MB molecules. Various thermodynamic parameters such as enthalpy of adsorption (ΔH°), free energy change (ΔG°), and entropy change (ΔS°) were investigated. The positive value of ΔH° and negative value of ΔG° indicate that the adsorption is endothermic and spontaneous. The positive value of ΔS° shows the increased randomness at the solid–liquid interface during the adsorption. A single-stage batch adsorber was also designed based on the Freundlich isotherm for the removal of MB by the high lime fly ash.

The equilibrium constant for the reaction C₆H₅NHCOCl = C₆H₅NCO + HCl in chlorobenzene solution is K = 0.14 mole/kg at 70°. The approximate values of the enthalpy and the entropy of the reaction are ΔH⁰ = 12 kcal and ΔS⁰ = 31 cal/deg.     

Kalorimetrische messungen zur ermittlung der spezifischen grenzflächenenergie einer zweiphasigen Cu-7,5 At.-% In-legierung

With the help of a commercial heat-flux calorimeter the enthalpy change was measured as a function of the interlamellar spacing for lamellar precipitated Cu-In samples. This is related to the replacement of the two-phase structure (α + δ) by the homogeneous solid solution (α₀. From this, the specific interfacial enthalpy of the α-δ interface was determined to be ΔH^δ = 1100 ± 550 mJ m^?2. A value of ΔH^c = 1320 ± 60 J mol^?1 results for the chemical part of the total measured transformation enthalpy. A value of ΔS^δ = 0.66 mJ m^?2 K^?1 was estimated for the specific interfacial entropy and using the Gibbs-Helmholtz equation the specific interfacial free energy was calculated as ΔG^δ = 700 ± 400 mJ m^?2 at 600 K.     

A study of helix formation in polydimethysiloxane by Raman scattering

Depolarization ratios ρ of the Raman bands due to CH₃ stretching at 2907 cm^?1 and the Si? O skeletal mode at 491 cm^?1 have been measured in polydimethylsiloxane gum as a function of temperature from 100°C to ?45°C. Below 0°C the changes in p have been interpreted in terms of the formation of helical regions in the gum. The enthalpy of helix formation ΔH has been determined as 3200 ± 600 cal/mole. An upper limit on the entropy change, ΔS, of 16 ± 3 e.u./mole and minimum values of helix content at different temperatures have been found. The Raman spectrum of crystalline polydimethylsiloxane is presented.     

Thermodynamics of binding of methyl orange and its homologs by poly(vinylpyrrolidone): The effect of inorganic electrolytes

The extent of binding of methyl orange, ethyl orange, propyl orange, and butyl orange by poly(vinylpyrrolidone) has been measured in aqueous solutions of inorganic electrolytes such as NaCl, LiCl, NaSCN, and NaClO₄ by an equilibrium dialysis method. The effect of the salts on the first binding constants and the thermodynamic functions which are accompanied by the dye—polymer association process was investigated relative to the corresponding values in the absence of such salts. It was found that in aqueous solutions of NaCl and LiCl the enthalpy change accompanying the binding is small and the largest contribution to the free energy of binding is from the positive entropy gain. For NaSCN and NaClO₄, the values of ΔF° and ΔH° were both large and negative and the value of ΔS° was small and negative. Thus, the favorable free energy for the complex formation was due entirely to the negative enthalpy term. These characteristics of the thermodynamic quantities are discussed in terms of changes in structural properties of water in the vicinity of the binding entities and conformational changes of the polymer to which the dye is bound due to the added foreign electrolytes.

Hybridization thermodynamics of DNA bound to gold nanoparticles

Isothermal Titration Calorimetry (ITC) was used to study the thermodynamics of hybridization on DNA-functionalized colloidal gold nanoparticles. When compared to the thermodynamics of hybridization of DNA that is free in solution, the differences in the values of the Gibbs free energy of reaction, Δ_rG°, the enthalpy, Δ_rH°, and entropy, Δ_rS°, were small. The change in Δ_rG° between the free and bound states was always positive but with statistical significance outside the 95% confidence interval, implying the free DNA is slightly more stable than when in the bound state. Additionally, ITC was also able to reveal information about the binding stoichiometry of the hybridization reactions on the DNA-functionalized gold nanoparticles, and indicates that there is a significant fraction of the DNA on gold nanoparticle surface that is unavailable for DNA hybridization. Furthermore, the fraction of available DNA is dependent on the spacer group on the DNA that is used to span the gold surface from that to the probe DNA.     

Removal of cationic methylene blue and malachite green dyes from aqueous solution by waste materials of Daucus carota

In present study adsorption capacity of waste materials of Daucus carota plant (carrot stem powder: CSP and carrot leaves powder: CLP) was explored for the removal of methylene blue (MB) malachite green (MG) dye from water. The morphology and functional groups present were investigated by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The operating variables studied were pH, adsorbent dose, ionic strength, initial dye concentration, contact time and temperature. Equilibrium data were analysed using Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models and monolayer adsorption capacity of adsorbents were calculated. Kinetic data were studied using pseudo-first and pseudo-second order kinetic models and the mechanism of adsorption was described by intraparticle diffusion model.Various thermodynamic parameters such as enthalpy of adsorption ΔH°, free energy change ΔG° and entropy ΔS° were estimated. Negative value of ΔH° and negative values of ΔG° showed that the adsorption process was exothermic and spontaneous. Negative value of entropy ΔS° showed the decreased randomness at the solid–liquid interface during the adsorption of MB and MG onto CSP and CLP.     

The proton exchange reaction between indene and the indenyl anion

The proton exchange reaction between the indenyl carbanion and its parent compound indene has been studied by NMR as a function of temperature. The rate of this bimolecular reaction is very low and has been found to be strongly dependent on the polarity of the solvent. In solvents like dimethoxyethane (? = 7·2) and diglyme the reaction becomes manifest in the NMR spectrum only at elevated temperatures (T > 150°C). In hexamethylphosphortriamide (? = 30) the rate is much greater and line broadening may be observable at room temperature. The reaction in this solvent is characterised by a frequency factor f = 7 × 10⁷ 1 mol^?1 s^?1, an activation enthalpy ΔH ≠ = 9·5 kcal mol^?1 and an entropy of activation ΔS≠ = ?23 e.u. The low reaction rate and its solvent dependence are briefly discussed.     

Miscibility and volume changes of mixing in the polystyrene/poly(2-chlorostyrene) blend system

The specific volume-temperature relationships of polystyrene, poly(2-chlorostyrene), and their polymer blends as well as the volume change of mixing Δv_m of the blends were obtained in the liquid state by dilatometry. The equation of state parameter and the molecular parameter of each homopolymer and blends were determined according to the lattice fluid theory of Sanchez and Lacombe. The experimental Δv_m obtained agreed quite well with that predicted from theory, and the enthalpy of mixing ΔH_m was also predicted using the pair molecular parameter. These two values were negative, indicative of miscibility of polystyrene and poly(2-chlorostyrene) in the liquid state. The absolute values of Δv_m and ΔH_m were about twice those for polystyrene and poly(phenylene oxide) blend, suggesting a specific interaction between the two polymers.     

Equilibrium anionic polymerization of 4,7-dioxaoctanal and n-octanal

Equilibrium anionic polymerization of 4,7-dioxaoctanal (DOA) and n-octanal (OA) was carried out in tetrahydrofuran in the temperature range of ?90 to ?68°C, and thermodynamic parameters were evaluated as follows: ΔH_ss = ?4.0 ± 0.1 kcal/mole, ΔS_ss = ?18.4 ± 0.5 cal/mole-deg, and T_c,ss = ?56°C for the DOA system; ΔH_sc = ?3.4 ± 0.1 kcal/mole, ΔS_sc = ?15.7 ± 0.4 cal/mole-deg, and T_c,sc = ?59°C for the OA system. Comparison of these values with those in the cases of β-methoxypropionaldehyde and n-valeraldehyde made it clear that the aliphatic aldehyde having a longer alkyl group polymerizes with smaller changes of enthalpy and entropy and that the polar-substituted aldehydes have higher polymerizability than the corresponding unsubstituted aliphatic aldehydes in the temperature range studied. These effects of substituents are interpreted from the viewpoint of the intermolecular interactions of polar groups in monomers and their polymers.     

Updated Abraham model correlations for enthalpies of solvation of organic solutes dissolved in benzene and acetonitrile

A search of the published chemical and engineering literature found enthalpy of solution data for an additional 104 and 49 organic compounds dissolved in benzene and acetonitrile, respectively. Standard thermodynamic relationships were used to convert the experimental enthalpy of solution data, ΔH_solv, to enthalpies of solvation, ΔH_solv. Updated Abraham model correlations were derived for describing gas-to-benzene and gas-to-acetonitrile enthalpies of solvation by combining the 104 and 49 additional values to existing benzene and acetonitrile ΔH_solv databases. The updated Abraham model correlations for benzene and acetonitrile described the observed ΔH_solv values to within overall standard deviations of less than 3.4 kJ mol^?1.     

Effects of Immobilized Metal Ion on Retention Behaviors of Proteins in Metal Chelate Affinity Chromatography

The chromatographic behaviors of proteins on iminodiacetic acid (IDA) column with and without immobilized metal ion were examined in detail. Comparing the effects of pI, solution pH, and salt concentration on retention of proteins in cation‐exchange chromatography (CEC) and metal chelate affinity chromatography (MCAC), the retention mechanism of proteins was investigated in MCAC. By aid of observing the retention characteristics of proteins on naked IDA and metal chelate columns in high concentration salt‐out salt solution, the hydrophobic interaction in MCAC and the influence of metal ion on it were proved. In terms of the comparison of the thermodynamics of proteins in CEC and MCAC, the thermostability, the conformational change entropy Δ(ΔS⁰) and enthalpy Δ(ΔH⁰), compensation temperature β, the driving force and caloritic effect of proteins in MCAC were discussed. The identity of retention mechanism at protein thermal denaturation in CEC and MCAC was demonstrated by using the compensation relationship between ΔH⁰ and ΔS⁰.
