An investigation of the aromaticity of transition metal heterocyclic complexes by conventional criteria and indices of aromaticity

Conventional criteria and indices of aromaticity, including electronic, geometric, energetic and magnetic aspects have been applied to examine the aromaticity of five typical transition metal heterocyclic complexes, i.e. six-membered osmabezene 1 and iridabenzene 2, five-membered cobaltacyclopentadiene 3 and iridacyclopentadiene 4, and four-membered tungstacyclobutadiene 5. The results show that the cyclic, planar, conjugated and Hückel 4n+2 rule’s criteria in the transition-metal-containing heterocycles of the five complexes studied are all met. Five quantitative aromaticity indices, including Bird aromatic index (I_n), homodesmotic reaction aromatic stabilization energy (HASE), absolute hardness (η), diamagnetic susceptibility exaltation (Λ) and NMR chemical shift (δH), qualitatively lead to a consistent and affirmative conclusion that all of them are aromatic. However, they fail to draw a common conclusion for their relative magnitudes of aromaticity, which proves once again the multidimensional character of aromaticity.

Topological investigations of molar excess volumes of quinoline with alkanols

Excess volumes V ^E of binary liquid mixtures of quinoline with alkanols have been determined from densities at 30°C as a function of composition. The excess volumes are negative over the whole mole fraction range for all the mixtures and decrease with increasing length of alkanol (C₁–C₁₀). The V^E data have been analyzed in terms of an approach which uses graph theoretical connectivity parameters of the third degrees for two components. The analysis gives information regarding associated species in the pure state and in the mixture. It is suggested that, in the mixture state, no change occurs in the association of alkanols.

Importance of the Debye interaction in organic solutions: Henry's law constants for polar liquids in nonpolar solvents and vice versa

Henry's law constants have been determined for -butyrolactone (BL), ethyl acetate (EA), and 2-methyl-3-pentanol (MEP) in mixtures of iso-octane (ISO) and toluene (TOL), for BL, EA, TOL, and ISO in cinnamaldehyde (CIN) and for TOL and ISO in each other and in BL. From these data and published vapor pressures, the activity coefficients at infinite dilution and the standard molar Gibbs free energy of transfer, G ₂ ⁰ of the solutes from dilute solution in ISO to dilute solution in each solvent medium have been calculated. The different behavior patterns of BL and EA are attributed to differences in their abilities to exist in different conformations possessing different dipole moments. For polar solutes, G ₂ ⁰ decreases with increasing polarizability of the solvent and with increasing dipole moment of the solute, suggesting increased contributions from dipole-induced dipole (Debye) interactions. The sigmoidal plot of G ₂ ⁰ against the change in pair potential energy calculated from the classical expressions suggests that G ₂ ⁰ seriously underestimates the strength of the Debye interactions in comparison with the London interactions.

FTIR and WAXS analysis of periodate oxycellulose: Evidence for a cluster mechanism of oxidation

Cellulose paper (Whatman no.1, chromatographic grade) was oxidised with 0.1 M sodium metaperiodate at different oxidation levels (0–11 days at room temperature), and analysed with FTIR before and after chemical treatments (reduction, further oxidation, alkaline hydrolysis). The deconvolution of infrared data allowed us to verify that periodate oxidises cellulose in isolated domains, leading to the decrease of crystallinity, in agreement with the results of wide angle X-ray scattering (WAXS). In particular, the alkaline hydrolysis (β-alkoxy fragmentation) followed by mild acid treatment removed the oxidised groups and recovered most of the crystallinity of cellulose, as determined by the FTIR crystallinity index.     

Using NaCl particles as porogen to prepare a highly adsorbent chitosan membranes

Macroporous chitosan membranes were prepared by using NaCl particles porogen and genipin as cross-linking agent. For characterization and sorption behavior comparison, other genipin cross-linked chitosan membranes were prepared by either freeze drying or by using silica particles as porogen. The mean pore diameter, the porosity, the crystallinity index (CrI) as well as the effect of the drying procedures of these chitosan membranes were examined. NaCl reduced the CrI of the chitosan membrane. The oven drying (OD) procedure decreased the mean pore diameter, the porosity, and increased the CrI of the chitosan membranes when compared with the vacuum drying (VD) procedure. The heat treatment of chitosan membrane in aqueous NaOH to attract silica porogen increased the CrI of the membrane. Under the same conditions, the membranes prepared with NaCl had better sorption performance on RR 189 and Cu²⁺ than other membranes. The maximum sorption capacity (q_e) reached 1836.17 mg RR 189/g chitosan and 151.98 mg Cu²⁺/g chitosan. The pore diameter (d_pore) of the membranes was much larger than the diameter of the adsorbate molecules (d_adsorbate), such that the ratio of d_pore/d_adsorbate had little influence on q_e. The porosity and the amorphous extent of the membranes were almost the same on q_e. When using tyrosinase catalyzing, the hydrocaffeic acid (HCA) grafted on the NaCl treated chitosan membrane was almost 10 times more than on chitosan beads. The chitosan membrane prepared with NaCl can be used as a good adsorbent with high loading capacity for implanting molecules (such as ligands, enzymes, etc.) on.
