Protonation equilibria of nitrilotris(methylenephosphonato)-and ethylenediamine-tetrakis(methylenephosphonato)-complexes of scandium,yttrium, and lanthanoids

The protonation equilibria of nitrilotris(methylenephosphonic acid) (NTMP, H₆L) and ethylenediaminetetrakis(methylenephosphonic acid) (EDTMP, H₈L) complexes of scandium, yttrium, and lanthanoids have been studied potentiometrically at 25°C and at an ionic strength of 0.1 mol-dm^–3 KNO₃. The first protonation constants of NTMP complexes of lanthanoids, K _MHL , decrease with decreasing of the ionic radius of the lanthanoid [log K _MHL =7.82 (La³⁺) –6.90 (Lu³⁺)] and show a so-called Tetrad effect. The second protonation constants, K _{MH 2}L, change very little with the lanthanoid metal ions (logK _{MH 2}L=5.3–5.7). These results suggest that, in the first protonation process in ML, the proton attacks the nitrogen of NTMP rupturing the M-N of M(ntmp)^3–. The pattern of the change in the protonation constants of the EDTMP complexes with the atomic number of the lanthanoid is quite different from that of the NTMP complexes. This fact indicates that the manner of protonation of the EDTMP complexes differs from that of NTMP complexes. The protonation constants of yttrium complexes of NTMP and EDTMP agree with those of lanthanoid complexes, whereas those of scandium complexes deviate from the values predicted from its ionic radius.     

The thermodynamic dissociation constants of losartan, paracetamol, phenylephrine and quinine by the regression analysis of spectrophotometric data

The mixed dissociation constants of four drug acids - losartan, paracetamol, phenylephrine and quinine - at various ionic strengths I of range 0.01 and 1.0 and at temperatures of 25 and 37 °C were determined using SPECFIT32 and SQUAD(84) regression analysis of the pH-spectrophotometric titration data. A proposed strategy of efficient experimentation in a dissociation constants determination, followed by a computational strategy for the chemical model with a dissociation constants determination, is presented on the protonation equilibria of losartan. Indices of precise methods predict the correct number of components, and even the presence of minor ones when the data quality is high and the instrumental error is known. Improved identification of the number of species uses the second or third derivative function for some indices, namely when the number of species in the mixture is higher than 3 and when, due to large variations in the indicator values even at logarithmic scale, the indicator curve does not reach an obvious point where the slope changes. The thermodynamic dissociation constant was estimated by nonlinear regression of {pK_a, I} data at 25 and 37 °C: for losartan and 3.57(3), and 4.80(3), for paracetamol and 9.65(1), for phenylephrine and 8.95(1), and 10.22(1), for quinine and 4.12(1), and 8.46(2). Goodness-of-fit tests for various regression diagnostics enabled the reliability of the parameter estimates to be found.     

Salt effects on the protonation of imidazole in aqueous solution at different ionic strengths: A tentative explanation by a complex formation model

Imidazole protonation constants were determined potentiometrically, using a (H⁺)-glass electrode, in LiCl, NaCl, KCl, CaCl₂, MgCl₂, tetramethylammonium (Me₄N-) iodide and chloride, Et₄N-, Pr₄N- and Bu₄N-iodides. Salt effects were tentatively explained by assuming that complexes [H(Im)X]^o (Im = imidazole, X^–=Cl^– or I^–), [M(Im)]²⁺ (M²⁺=Mg²⁺ or Ca²⁺) and [A(Im)]⁺ (A⁺ = tetraalkylammonium cation) were formed in solution. Calcium(II)-selective electrode measurements confirmed our hypothesis about the formation of the Ca²⁺-imidazole complex. The reliability of the complex formation model is discussed on the basis of its self consistency and in light of previous results.     

On the chemistry of pyrrole pigments,XCVII: Synthesis,stereochemistry, and solvatochromic effects of a 1-(dipyrrinon-9-yl)-3-(dipyrrinon-9-ylidene)-1-propene

Summary By condensing a dipyrrinon-9-yl-acrolein with a dipyrrinone unsubstituted in position 9, an unsymmetricb-vinylogous verdinoid pigment was prepared. The configuration of this molecule was elucidated by means of 2D¹H NMR experiments to be (4Z,10E,12Z,17Z) in solutions of chloroform and dimethylsulfoxide, and its conformation was derived to be 5syn,9syn,11anti,16syn. The pronounced solvatochromic effect of this molecule with a cyclic helical geometry could be explained by solvent induced conformational changes.

Study of Solvent Effects on the Protonation of Functional Group of Disubstituted Anilines: Factor Analysis Applied to the Correlation between Protonation Constants and Solvatochromic Parameters in Ethanol–Water Mixtures

Summary. The stoichiometric protonation constants (log β) of some disubstituted aniline derivatives in ethanol–water mixtures (0–90% ethanol by volume) at 25.0 ± 0.1°C were firstly submitted to factor analysis in order to obtain the number factors which affect the variation of the whole data sets and, afterwards, submitted to target factor analysis to identify these factors. The influence of solvatochromic parameters in the interactions between aniline derivatives and the solvent studied was identified and quantified. The general equation of Kamlet and Taft was reduced for these mixtures to two terms using combined factor analysis (FA) and target factor analysis (TFA): the independent term and the hydrogen-bond donating ability, α (HBD), solvatochromic parameters. Further, the quasi-lattice quasi-chemical (QLQC) theory of preferential solvation has been applied to quantify the preferential solvation by water of electrolytes in ethanol–water mixtures. The effects of the substituents on the protonation constants, the additivities of these effects, and the applicability of the Hammett equation to the behavior of substituents are also discussed. Further, Hammett’s reaction constant for the protonation of disubstituted anilines has been obtained for all the solvent mixtures and correlates well with α (HBD) of the solvent.     

Structure and properties of protonated N-alkyl-2-aza[3]ferrocenophanes

Protonation of N-alkyl-2-aza[3]ferrocenophanes by HCl and NH₄PF₆ affords hexafluorophosphate salts having a trialkylammonium group. Structures of the protonated and unprotonated N-(p-methylbezyl)-2-aza[3]ferrocenophanes were determined by X-ray crystallography. Variable temperature ¹³C{¹H} NMR spectra of the N-protonated N-hexyl-2-aza[3]ferrocenophane revealed inversion of the nitrogen of the 2-aza[3]ferrocenophane on the NMR time scale probably via partial deprotonation of the nitrogen atom. Cyclic voltammograms of the N-protonated compounds exhibited reversible redox peaks at higher potentials than those of the corresponding neutral ferrocenophanes.     

Aspects of Electrochemical Behavior of Aldehydes and Ketones in Protic Media

Reduction of carbonyl group in aldehydes and ketones, as well as oxidation of numerous aldehydes is discussed, as well as those reductions of organic compounds where the C?O group activates cleavage of an adjacent C? X bond where X is a good leaving group like halogen, OH, NH₂ or SR or activates hydrogenation of an adjacent C?C group. Survey involves aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes, aryl alkyl and diaryl ketones, as well as α‐ketoacids, 1,2‐diketones and compounds where the carbonyl group is a part of a ring. The role of acid–base, hydration–dehydration and in some cases keto–enol equilibria on electrochemical behavior is pointed out, as well as the role of buffer kind and concentration and the nature of the cation of supporting electrolyte. Better understanding of these factors promises finding of best conditions for electroanalytical procedures.

Goodness-of-fit tests for various regression diagnostics enabled the reliability of parameter estimates to be found.     

一种高透过率,深截止的UVc波段(200～280 nm) 有机材料的研究(Ⅰ)

本文阐述了一种专用有机材料(粉末)在不同酸性溶液中的光谱特征,研究表明,这种材料在λ=252 nm处,透过率T=56.5％,带宽约为16nm,而在λ=290nm处有一个很强的吸收峰(ε>10L·(mol·cm)~(-1)),吸光度A_(280～298nm)>8,即透过率T_(280～298nm)<10~(-8)。这种有机材料在UVc波段(200～280nm)具有高透过率,深截止的明显特点。实验中还发现,通过调节溶剂的pH值和选取不同极性的溶剂,原来的两个吸收峰消失,而在λ=290nm处出现一个新的强吸收峰,并且透过峰可以在251～260nm范围内移位。利用材料的这种特征,再配合传统的镀膜和色玻璃技术,有可能制备出性能优良的紫外滤光片。     

环丙沙星的光谱性质、质子化作用与荧光量子产率

研究了环丙沙星(ciprofloxacin, CIP)在不同pH条件下的荧光光谱、紫外吸收光谱和质子化作用,测量了CIP在中性条件下的荧光量子产率。在H+浓度大于1 mol·L-1的HCl介质中,CIP分子(简写为HL)可以结合3个质子而以H₄L3+形式存在,有微弱的荧光,最大荧光发射波长(λ_ｍａｘ)为456 nm。在pH 0～2的酸性条件下,CIP主要以H₃L2+形式存在,λ_ｍａｘ为450 nm,荧光较弱,荧光强度随pH的升高而上升。在pH 2～4时,CIP主要以H₂L+形式存在,具有强荧光,λ_ｍａｘ仍为450 nm。当pH＞4时,λ_ｍａｘ逐步蓝移到414 nm,荧光强度随pH的升高而稍有降低,同时紫外吸收光谱也有明显变化,表明H₂L+随pH升高而失去质子,以双极离子HL形式存在。当pH＞8时,荧光强度随pH升高而减弱至消失,表明HL逐步失去质子,转化为无荧光的阴离子L-。在分子形态变化过程中,最大荧光激发波长始终在275 nm附近,但最大荧光发射波长有较大变化。在pH 7.0的缓冲溶液中,以硫酸奎宁为参比,测得CIP在最大荧光激发波长275 nm处的荧光量子产率为0.12。
