The Employ of Multiple Voltammetric Pulses for the Study of the Adsorption of Bipyridilium Pesticides in River Sediment

The multiple square‐wave voltammetry (MSWV) allied to gold microelectrode (Au‐ME) was used to establish an electroanalytical procedure for the determination of the paraquat and diquat pesticides in river sediment samples. For both pesticides, two reduction peaks, at around ?0.70 V (peak 1) and around ?1.00 V vs. Ag/AgCl 3.00 mol L^?1 (peak 2), with profile of the totally reversible redox process, were observed. The experimental and voltammetric conditions showed that the best conditions to reduce paraquat and diquat were a pH of 6.0, a frequency of 250 s^?1, a scan increment 2 mV, a square‐wave amplitude of 50 mV and pulse number of 8 pulses of potential in each step of staircase of potential. Under such conditions, the detection limit of 0.044 μg L^?1 (0.044 ppb) and 0.360 μg L^?1 (0.360 ppb ) for peak 1 and peak 2 of paraquat and 0.159 μg L^?1 (0.159 ppb) and 0.533 μg L^?1 (0.533 ppb) for peak 1 and peak 2 of diquat, respectively, were obtained. These results are an order of magnitude of about two less than those obtained and published in the literature. Also, the electroanalytical procedure proposed was applied for the determination of adsorption isotherms of pesticides on river sediments samples collected from Mogi‐Guaçu River in Sao Paulo State, Brazil. The experimental data were fitted using the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms models; and the results indicated low intensities of adsorption process of the pesticides in the samples employed with distribution coefficients (K_d) lower 5.0, and paraquat showed slightly higher affinity than diquat in the sediments. The increase in organic matter and organic carbon leads to an increase in the K_d values, and consequently an increase in the organic matter constant (K_OM) organic carbon constant (K_OC) values. All results demonstrated that isotherms “L” type in the Giles classification were obtained, indicating that sediments have a medium affinity for the pesticides, and no strong competition from the solvent used (in this case Na₂SO₄) for adsorption sites occurs.     

Isolated square planar metal complexes of carbon

Based on the group theory analysis and quantum chemical calculations within the framework of SW X _α method (in relativistic approximation for core electrons and non-relativistic for valence ones), the existence possibility of square planar complexes [M₄C] and [M₄C]^2? (M = Al, Ga, In, Tl, Sc, and Y) in gas phase has been shown. The extraction of Kt₂[M₄C] square planar complexes of carbon in the crystal state is possible too. A high stability of these complexes, in comparison with usual tetrahedral, is achieved due to the formation of five-and four-center bonds (bonds M-M and M-C).     

Drying dissipative patterns of colloidal crystals of silica spheres in organic solvents

Drying dissipative structural patterns formed in the course of drying colloidal crystals of silica spheres (110 nm in diameter) in water, methyl alcohol, ethyl alcohol, 1-propyl alcohol, diethyl ether, and in the mixtures of ethyl alcohol with the other solvents above have been studied on a cover glass. The macroscopic broad rings were formed in the outside edges of the dried film for all the solvents examined. Furthermore, much distinct broad rings appeared in the inner area when the solvents were ethyl alcohol, methyl alcohol, and their mixtures. Profiles of the thickness of the dried films were sensitive to the organic solvents and explained well with changes in the surface tensions, boiling points, and viscosities of the solvents. The macroscopic and microscopic spoke-like crack patterns formed. The drying area (or the drying time) increased (or decreased) as the surface tension of the solvent decreased. However, the absolute values of these drying parameters are determined also by the boiling points of the solvents. Importance of the fundamental properties of the solvents is supported in addition to the characteristics of colloidal particles in the drying dissipative pattern formation.

A two-stage approach to automatic determination of 1H NMR coupling constants

(1)H NMR scalar coupling constants are a rich source of information on molecular structure, but their extraction from spectra can be less than straightforward. Previous approaches to J extraction include methods proposed by Hoye, Golotvin, and the 'modified J-doubling' method. Here we describe the ACCA method, currently implemented in the NMR package MestReC, which allows a high degree of automation in the extraction of coupling patterns even in the case of complex multiplets with sublinewidth splitting. The new approach is illustrated by application to strychnine, for which it has detected previously unreported couplings.     

Cyclodextrins as chiral stationary phases in capillary gas chromatography. Part VII: Cyclodextrins with an inverse substitution pattern – synthesis and enantioselectivity

Transferring the site of specific substitution of dipentylated cyclodextrins with methyl or acyl residues from the secondary 3-hydroxyl group to the primary 6-hydroxyl group was expected to provide new information on the mechanism of chiral recognition. The 3-position points towards and the 6-position points away from the cyclodextrin cavity which via inclusion complex formation is supposed to play a major role in chiral separation. The “inverse” 6-O-acyl-2,3-di-O-pentyl-cyclodextrins displayed almost no enantioselectivity but the corresponding 6-O-methyl derivatives are a versatile supplement to the chiral capillary GC phases nowadays available. Among the compounds that could be enantiomerically resolved are alcohols, amino acids, alkyl halides, bicyclic ethers, acetals, olefins, other hydrocarbons and chiral pharmaceuticals.
