Evaluation of N-Substituted 2,4-Dihydroxyphenylthioamide Fungicide Lipophilicity Using the Chromatographic Techniques HPLC and HPTLC

2,4-Dihydroxyphenylthioamide derivatives modified on the N-aryl ring have substantial fungicidal activity. To determine their quantitative structure–activity relationships their lipophilicity was determined by use of the chromatographic methods column liquid chromatography and thin-layer chromatography. Methanol–water systems were used as mobile phases and the linear dependences of retention (R_M and log k) on volume fraction of organic modifier, φ, were determined. This enabled precise determination of lipophilicity (R_Mw and log k_w) by extrapolation. Correlations were found between quantities characterizing the lipophilicity of the compounds. Deviations enabled discovery of compound structural features which increase or reduce lipophilicity. When these data were correlated with biological activity against the phytopathogenic fungi Alternaria alternata and Botrytis cinerea parabolic dependences were obtained.     

A kinetic stability study of <Emphasis Type="Italic">M</Emphasis>N<Subscript>5</Subscript> (<Emphasis Type="Italic">M</Emphasis>=Li,Na, K,and Rb)

A structure and kinetic stability study on some complexes with the general formula MN₅, where M are the alkali-metal atoms, Li, Na, K, and Rb, has been carried by using hybrid density functional methods. Complex B (C_2v) with two points of attachment to the N₅ ring is the most energetically favored for all metals considered here. Pyramidal structures A (C_5v) are kinetically unstable and they rapidly rearrange to the most stable planar structures B. At the QCISD(T)/6-311 + G*//B3LYP/6-311 + G* + ZPE (B3LYP/6-311 + G*) level, the decomposition barrier heights of LiN₅-B, NaN₅–B, KN₅-B, and RbN₅-B are predicted to be 19.9, 22.0, 22.5, and 23.0 kcal/mol, respectively. In addition, the rate constants of the decomposition reaction MN₅-B MN₃ + N₂ (M + Li, Na, K, and Rb) are also predicted using conventional transition state theory and canonical variational transition state theory, respectively.

Thermal characterization of benzylcellulose derivatives prepared from bleached pinus kraft pulp

The thermal characterization (DSC and TG) of benzylcellulose derivatives prepared from the benzylation of bleached Pinus Kraft pulp is described in this paper. The objective of this study was to examine the changes in glass transition temperature (T _g) and the thermal stability of the benzylated product as a function of the benzylation extent (degree of substitution). The DSC analysis showed that the benzylcelluloses can display glass transition temperature at two different regions and that thermal stability is slightly higher than that of the parent cellulose. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Application of the iterative difference-dedicated configuration interaction method to the determination of excitation energies in some benchmark systems: Be, CH+, BH and CH2

The iterative difference-dedicated CI method (IDDCI) has been applied to determine excitation energies in small systems for which benchmark FCI and other high-level calculations exist. Transitions to excited singlet and triplet states in Be and vertical transitions in CH⁺, BH and CH₂ are reported. The deviations from FCI results are lower than 0.1 eV and compare advantageously with SDCI including size-consistency corrections, (SC)²SDCI, and with coupled cluster calculations including the effect of triples, especially for the states which have a predominant double excitation character. The IDDCI procedure has been speeded up by using smaller subspaces for optimizing the molecular orbitals. Received: 17 January 1997 / Accepted: 31 July 1997     

Interpolymer complexes of a new type

A new type of three-component interpolymer complexes (3IPCM) formed by two similarly charged polyelectrolytes and an oppositely charged low molar mass compound was studied by DSC, NMR and X-ray methods. The low molar mass monobasic compounds in these complexes act as mediators. This type of complexes differs from earlier-obtained 3IPCM, which contained a dibasic low molar mass mediator.The present 3IPCM were obtained from two polymers (polyacrylic acid and sodium polyphosphate) and bases such as 4-vinylpyridine and 2-methyl-5-vinylpyridine.The authors express their acknowledgement to the Russian Science Foundation for sponsoring research projects 93-03-5650 and 93-03-18682.

Practical aspects of the uncertainty and traceability of spectrochemical measurement results by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry

The determination of trace elements concentration in water by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry (ETAAS) is a common and well established technique in many chemical testing laboratories. However, the evaluation of measurement uncertainty results is not systematically implemented. The paper presents an easy step-by-step example leading to the evaluation of the combined standard uncertainty of copper determination in water using ETAAS. The major contributors to the overall measurement uncertainty are identified due to amount of copper in water sample that mainly depends on the absorbance measurements, due to certified reference material and due to auto-sampler volume measurements. The practical aspects how the traceability of copper concentration in water can be established and demonstrated are also pointed out.
