Conductance in homomorphous solvents: Tetrabutylammonium salts and alkali picrates in butyrolactone-sulfolane mixtures

Conductance measurements are reported for LiPi, NaPi, KPi, RbPi, CsPi, Bu₄NPi, Bu₄NBr, Bu₄NClO₄, Bu₄NNO₃, and Bu₄NBBu₄ at 25°C in -butyrolactone-sulfolane mixtures. In these mixtures of solvents that are practically homomorphous, isodielectic and with comparable dipole moments, the ion pair association and ionic mobilities of large ions conform to the expectations of the primitive model. Electrolytes containing lithium or sodium ions show anomalies indicating that other factors besides shape, dipole moment, and polarizability of the solvent molecules are involved in the association and transport processes of these ions.     

Interactions of Some Amino Acids with Aqueous Tetraethylammonium Bromide at 298.15 K: A Volumetric Approach

The apparent molar volumes, V_,2, of glycine, L-alanine, DL--amino-n-butyric acid, L-valine, and L-leucine have been determined in aqueous 0.25, 0.75, 1.0, and 1.5 mol-dm^–3 tetraethylammonium bromide (TEAB) solutions by density measurements at 298.15 K. These data have been used to calculate the infinite dilution apparent molar volumes, V_2,m, for the amino acids in aqueous tetraethylammonium bromide and the standard partial molar volumes of transfer (_tr V_2,m) of the amino acids from water to the aqueous salt solutions. The linear correlation of V_2,m for a homologous series of amino acids has been utilized to calculate the contribution of the charged end groups (NH₃⁺, COO^–), CH₂ group, and other alkyl chains of the amino acids to V_2,m. The results of the standard partial molar volumes of transfer from water to aqueous tetraethylammonium bromide have been interpreted in terms of ion–ion, ion–polar, and hydrophobic–hydrophobic group interactions. The volume of transfer data suggest that ion–ion or ion–hydrophilic interactions are predominant in the case of glycine and alanine, and hydrophobic–hydrophobic group interactions are predominant in the case of DL--amino butyric acid, L-valine, and L-leucine.     

Photochemical and photocatalytic properties of zeolites containing titanium(iv) complexes and metallic palladium

An attempt has been made to create organized, highly efficient photocatalytic systems in the example of composite materials consisting of blocks of a metallocomplex photocatalyst and a dark-stage catalyst, assembled on a zeolite matrix. The spectral and photochemical properties of these systems have been investigated, and also their use in catalysis of hydrogen evolution from alcohol-water media. L. V.

Influence of the activation temperature on structural and textural properties of NiMo/Al2O3 hydrodesulfurization catalysts

Investigations of a commercial NiMo/Al₂O₃ hydrodesulfurization (HDS) catalyst are directed towards optimization of the activation procedure of HDS catalyst concerning active phase formation and thermal stability. Structural and textural data obtained with XRD, IR-FTIR, XPS and LTNA reveal that the optimal temperature for the formation of active species on the catalyst surface and an appropriate pore structure is 300°C.     

Behavior of protein-like N-vinylcaprolactam and N-vinylimidazole copolymers in aqueous solutions

The free-radical copolymerization of N-vinylcaprolactam and N-vinylimidazole (at an initial comonomer ratio of 85: 15, mol/mol) initiated by a persulfate-tertiary amine redox system in 10% aqueous DMSO at 25 and 65°C (at temperatures below and above the temperature of phase separation in the reaction system, respectively) yielded macromolecular products that were subsequently separated into thermally precipitating and nonprecipitating fractions. Investigations of these fractions by capillary viscometry, static and dynamic laser light scattering, and high-sensitivity DSC showed that macromolecules of both types of copolymers are strongly associated in aqueous solutions. Upon heating of solutions of thermally nonprecipitating fractions, additional aggregation takes place and this phenomenon is accompanied by a decrease in the size of particles without loss in their solubility until at least 70°C is reached. As for the set of properties exhibited in aqueous solutions, the thermally nonprecipitating fraction of the copolymer synthesized at 65°C may be assigned to protein-like macromolecules.     

A New Triterpenoid Saponin and a New Glycoside from Epigynum aurilum

A new triterpenoid saponin with novel sugar moiety (1), a new trisaccharide derivative (2), as well as a known monosaccharide derivative (3), were isolated from the dried stem of Epigyhum aurilum. The structures of compounds 1 and 2 were determined by MS and NMR spectram analyses.     

Double gradient ion chromatography on a short carboxybetaine coated monolithic anion exchanger

An ultra-short 1.0 x 0.46 cm carboxybetaine coated monolithic anion exchanger has been used with a new double gradient ion chromatography (DG-IC) technique. The novel monolithic column can be used with flow rate gradients giving excellent peak efficiencies, and retention times can be simultaneously reduced through combining flow gradients with an eluent pH gradient.     

Synthesis and Characterization of a Novel Biomaterial： Maleic Anhydride-modified Poly（dl-lactic acid）

A novel modified poly(dl-lactic acid) (PDLLA) was obtained by covalently grafting of maleic anhydride onto the backbone of PDLLA, attempting to improve PDLLA‘s hydrophilicity and cell affinity and to provide reactive groups for further chemical modification. FTIR, ^13 C NMR and DSC were used to characterize the maleic anhydride-modified PDLLA.     

Thermal Decomposition of bis(cyclopentadienyl)hafnium compounds and their deuterated analogues

Thermal decomposition ranges of Cp₂HfR_, (R = Me, Ph) have been found by the DTA method. The thermal stability of hafnium derivatives greatly exceeds the stability of analogous titanium and zirconium compounds. Decomposition of Cp₂HfR₂ occurs by abstraction of σ-bonded groups which convert into RH. Hydrogen donors for the RH formation are both π-cyclopentadienyl and σ-bonded groups. The initial π-Cp₂Hf structure rearranges to form the (η⁵-Cp)-(η⁵,η¹-C₅H₄)Hf fragment. These react with HCl to produce Cp₂HfCl₂. It has been established that hydrogen exchange between cyclopentadienyl rings and methyl groups occurs during the thermal decomposition of Cp₂HfMe₂. As a result of the exchange process on thermal decomposition of Cp₂HfMe₂-d6, deuterium insertion into the cyclopentadienyl ring has been shown. The participation of solvent during the decomposition process of the hafnium derivatives has been studied.
