A group additivity approach for the estimation of heat capacities of organic liquids and solids at 298 K

A group additivity method is described which provides heat capacity estimates of the condensed phase. The data base consists of 810 liquids and 446 solids. Group values for carbon in various common substitution and hybridization states and for 47 functional groups are provided. The standard error of estimation using this approach on this data base is 19.5 (liquids) and 26.9 J/ (mole K) (solids). This can be compared to typical experimental uncertainties of 8.12 and 23,4 J/ (mole K) associated with these measurements, respectively. Experimental uncertainties were estimated from the numerical differences obtained for a given substance from multiple independent literature reports.     

Encapsulation of Mithramycin in Liposomes in Response to a Transmembrane Gradient of Calcium Ions

The recent discovery that mithramycin(MTR) in aqueous solution forms a high affinity[Ca(MTR)4]2- complex led us to the idea thatCa2+-loaded liposomes might be able to accumulateMTR in their aqueous internal compartment. Wetherefore investigated the uptake of MTR into largeunilamellar vesicles (LUV) containing NaCl orCaCl2. Our data show that MTR was efficientlyaccumulated within LUV made fromdipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine and cholesterol, onlywhen the liposomes contained Ca2+ and wereresuspended in a Ca2+-free medium. A drugencapsulation efficiency as high as 60% was achieved,at a drug to lipid molar ratio of 1/18. The circulardichroism and fluorescence excitation spectra ofliposome-encapsulated MTR (LMTR) displayed strongsimilarities with those of the [Ca(MTR)4]2-complex. LMTR was found to be stable, when submittedto conditions that destabilized the[Ca(MTR)4]2- complex. Upon dilution andincubation for 24 h at 37 °C, MTR-containingliposomes did not release a significant amount of MTR.These properties were attributed to the formation ofa high affinity complex between MTR and Ca2+inthe aqueous compartment of liposomes.     

The influence of polymer molecular-weight distributions on pulsed field gradient nuclear magnetic resonance self-diffusion experiments

 The influence of polymer molecular-weight distributions on the outcome of pulsed field gradient (PFG) NMR self-diffusion experiments has been considered. The self-diffusion coefficient, D, of monodisperse poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) polymers has been determined in order to accurately determine the scaling behavior of D both with molecular weight and concentration. In order to investigate the influence of polydispersity on the PFG NMR signal, a model system consisting of ten reasonably monodisperse PEO polymers was made, and the PFG NMR signal intensities were recorded at a low total concentration. The data were analyzed using both inverse Laplace transformation and nonlinear least-squares fitting to a prescribed distribution function of D. Finally, the molecular-weight distribution was obtained by use of the values of the scaling parameters. We also present some model calculations used to investigate the sensitivity of the degree of polydispersity on the NMR signal decays.

Adsorption properties and porous structure of new carbon materials

The adsorption properties of the new carbon materials, sibunites, which are mesoporous samples with a developed surface of pores, were studied. The isotherms of the adsorption of benzene vapor were determined to estimate the porous structure of these materials. The principal methods for calculating the parameters of the porous structure of sibunites were analyzed. The application of the BET equation even in the presence of a small number of micropores can distort the results, therefore the most suitable method for estimating the surface of mesopores is one that is based on the Dubinin—Zaverina equation. The estimation of the surface of sibunites using water vapor adsorption is demonstrated.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 8, pp. 1377–1380, August, 1993.
