Quantum-chemical investigation of tautomerism of hydrophosphoryl compounds

The tautomerization energies for the reaction R₂P(O)H R₂P-OH, where R= OH, OCH₃, OC₂H₅, CH₃, and CF₃, have been calculated by the CNDO/2 method with optimization of the exponents of the Slater 3d AO's according to the criterion of a minimum total energy for the molecule. The results are in qualitative agreement with the experimental data. The MNDO and CNDO/2 calculations with the use of a standard sp basis predict greater stability for the structures with a three-coordinate phosphorus atom, in contradiction to experiment.Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Éksperimental'naya Khimiya, Vol. 25, No. 4, pp. 486–490, July–August, 1989.In conclusion, we express our thanks to V.

Expanding sapphyrin: towards selective phosphate binding

The anion-templated syntheses and binding properties of novel macrocyclic oligopyrrole receptors in which pyrrole rings are linked through amide or imine bonds are described. The efficient synthesis was accomplished by anion-templated [1+1] Schiff-base condensation and acylation macrocyclization reactions. Free receptors and their host-guest complexes with hydrochloric acid, acetic acid, tetrabutylammonium chloride, and hydrogen sulfate were analyzed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Stability constants with different tetrabutylammonium salts of inorganic acids were determined by standard 1H NMR and UV/Vis titration techniques in [D6]DMSO/0.5% water solution. According to the titration data, receptors containing three pyrrole rings (10 and 12) exhibit high affinity (log Ka=5-7) for bifluoride, acetate, and dihydrogen phosphate, and interact weakly with chloride and hydrogen sulfate. The amido-bipyrrole receptors 11 and 13 with four pyrrole rings exhibit 10(4)- and 10(2)-fold selectivity for dihydrogen phosphate, respectively, as inferred from competitive titrations in the presence of tetrabutylammonium acetate.

基于有机-无机介孔二氧化硅杂化材料对Cu^2和Co2+的选择性测定

合成了一种有机-无机介孔二氧化硅杂化材料(SBA-15-Tpy),通过透射电镜显微镜、X射线衍射、热重分析和N_2吸附-解吸曲线对其进行表征,并基于该材料建立了在水中对Cu²⁺和Co²⁺的选择性识别。研究表明,SBA-15-Tpy与Cu²⁺和Co²⁺结合后会分别在800 nm和510 nm处产生新的吸收峰,加入其它金属离子后不发生明显的吸收峰值变化。在最优条件下,检测Cu²⁺和Co²⁺的线性范围分别为2.0~200.0μmol/L和10.0~200.0μmol/L,检出限分别为0.48μmol/L和4.28μmol/L。将上述方法用于江水中Cu²⁺和Co²⁺的测定,回收率在96.0%~108.5%之间。
