Thermo-IR-spectroscopy study of the adsorption of terbuthylazine by soil from the Jezreel Valley

Adsorption of the herbicide terbuthylazine by a soil from the Jezreel Valley was investigated by thermo-IR-spectroscopy. The adsorption took place mainly by the clay mineral montmorillonite. The adsorbed molecule was hydrogen bonded via the aniline groups to water molecules which were coordinated to the exchangeable metallic cations. When the sample was thermally treated at 115°C interlayer water was evolved, part of the herbicide decomposed and the other part became directly coordinated to the exchangeable metallic cations. The decomposition product contained a CO group.Dedicated to Prof. Menachem Steinberg on the occasion of his 65th birthdayThis research was supported in part under Project number C12-219, Grant number HRN5544 G002069, Program in Science and Technology Corporation, Human Capacity Development, Bureau for Global Programs, Field Support and Research, USAID.     

A novel magnetic ionic liquid modified carbon nanotube for the simultaneous determination of aryloxyphenoxy-propionate herbicides and their metabolites in water

A reliable, sensitive, rapid and environmentally friendly analysis procedure for the simultaneous determination of the analytes with a wide range of polarity in the environmental water was developed by coupling dispersive magnetic solid-phase extraction (d-MSPE) with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)–diode array detector (DAD) and ultra-high pressure liquid chromatography (UHPLC)-triple quadrupole mass spectrometer (MS/MS), in this work. Magnetic ionic liquid modified multi-walled carbon nanotubes (m-IL-MWCNTs) were prepared by spontaneous assembly of magnetic nanoparticles and imidazolium-modified carbon nanotubes, and used as the sorbent of d-MSPE to simultaneously extract aryloxyphenoxy-propionate herbicides (AOPPs) and their polar acid metabolites due to the excellent π–π electron donor–acceptor interactions and anion exchange ability. The factors, including the amount of sorbent, pH of the sample solution, extraction time and the volume of elution solvent were investigated. Under the optimized conditions, the proposed d-MSPE coupling to HPLC–DAD system had a satisfactory performance, the limits of detection (LODs, defined as the signal to noise ratio of 3) and the limits of quantification (LOQs, defined as the signal to noise ratio of 10) for analytes in Milli-Q water were in the range of 2.8–14.3 and 9.8–43.2 μg L⁻¹ respectively. Calibration curves were linear (r² > 0.998) over the concentration range from 0.02 to 1 mg L⁻¹. The recoveries of the eight analytes ranged from 66.1 to 89.6% with the RSDs less than 8.6%. In order to extend the method in extremely low concentration analysis, d-MSPE-UHPLC–MS/MS was investigated, which showed better performance in terms of limit of detection and analysis time.     

Investigation of the inclusion of the herbicide cycluron in native cyclodextrins by X-ray diffraction,nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and isothermal titration calorimetry

The formation of inclusion complexes between the native cyclodextrins (CDs) and the urea herbicide cycluron has been investigated both in solution and in the solid state. Single-crystal X-ray structures of both the uncomplexed guest and the β-CD·cycluron complex were determined while powder X-ray diffraction was used to confirm complexation between γ-CD and cycluron in the solid state. Solution-state complexation between the herbicide and α-, β- and γ-CD was established using ¹H NMR spectroscopy and isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC). From the ¹H NMR spectroscopic studies 1:1 complex stoichiometry was indicated in all cases and association constant values (K) were determined as 228, 3254 and 155 for the complexes α-CD·cycluron, β-CD·cycluron and γ-CD·cycluron, respectively. Assigning a 1:1 host–guest ratio, the ITC technique produced K values of the same order as those determined using the spectroscopic method. The thermodynamic parameters ΔH, ΔS and ΔG obtained using ITC provide insights into the driving forces involved during complex formation.

Synthesis and Identification of Epoxy Derivatives of 5-Methylhexahydroisoindole-1,3-dione and Biological Evaluation

Cyclic imides belong to a well-known class of organic compounds with various biological activities, promoting a great interest in compounds with this functional group. Due to the structural complexity of some molecules and their spectra, it is necessary to use several spectrometric methods associated with auxiliary tools, such as the theoretical calculation for the structural elucidation of complex structures. In this work, the synthesis of epoxy derivatives of 5-methylhexahydroisoindole-1,3-diones was carried out in five steps. Diels–Alder reaction of isoprene and maleic anhydride followed by reaction with m-anisidine afforded the amide (2). Esterification of amide (2) with methanol in the presence of sulfuric acid provided the ester (3) that cyclized in situ to give imides 4 and 4-ent. Epoxidation of 4 and 4-ent with meta-chloroperbenzoic acid (MCPBA) afforded 5a and 5b. The diastereomers were separated by silica gel flash column chromatography, and their structures were determined by analyses of the spectrometric methods. Their structures were confirmed by matching the calculated ¹H and ¹³C NMR chemical shifts of (5a and 5b) with the experimental data of the diastereomers using MAE, CP3, and DP4 statistical analyses. Biological assays were carried out to evaluate the potential herbicide activity of the imides. Compounds 5a and 5b inhibited root growth of the weed Bidens pilosa by more than 70% at all the concentrations evaluated.     

苯氧羧酸类农药在高岭石表面吸附的理论研究

构建了高岭石铝氧八面体层表面模型Al₁₃O₄₈H₅₇和硅氧四面体层表面模型Si₁₃O₃₇H₂₂,采用B3LYP/6-31G(d,p)方法, 对其与2,4-二氯苯氧乙酸(2,4-D)、 2,4-二氯苯氧丙酸(2,4-DP)、 2,4-二氯苯氧丁酸(2,4-DB)、 2-甲基-4-氯苯氧乙酸(MCPA)、 2-甲基-4-氯苯氧丙酸(MCPP)和2-甲基-4-氯苯氧丁酸(MCPB)等苯氧羧酸类农药分子间的相互作用及吸附性质进行了研究, 包括优化的几何构型、 结构参数、 吸附能及自然键轨道(NBO)电荷. 八面体层表面的中心原子(OH2, OH3及OH11)与四面体层表面的中心原子(O2, O3及O11)并未表现出明显的吸附活性. 相较于侧链为乙酸基的分子, 含有丙酸基或丁酸基的分子因带有更多的吸附位点而具有较强的吸附性. 研究发现MCPP的吸附性高于MCPA. 结合2,4-D的吸附性高于MCPA的结论, 可以推断2,4-D与MCPA更倾向于吸附在高岭石的硅氧层表面. 因此在农药施用的过程中, 应充分考虑各分子的活性及其与高岭石表面的作用强弱, 确保淋洗对去除农药在土壤中残留的可行性.
