Chromatographic quantitation using fractions of the peak areas

Quantitative chromatographic analysis is liable to errors due to peak asymmetry because the uncertainty in the detected position of the end of the peak tail decreases the reliability of the computed peak area. This dependence may be a severe drawback whenever peaks of different areas must be compared, as in the case of calibration curves. A new approach to overcome the uncertainties of area calculation due to peak asymmetry is reported in this paper. The approach consists of calculating only the area included between the start and the maximum of the chromatographic peak. Simulated and experimental chromatographic data were used in this study. Both the peak start-to-peak maximum area (SMA) and the start-to-end or total area (TA) were calculated and the quantitative results were compared. Within the scope of this work it is concluded that the SMA yields calibration curves that are more linear and have intercepts closer to zero than the calibration curves obtained using the TA.     

Synthesis of new 3,5-diarylisoxazolidines by cycloaddition of oxaziridines and alkenes

This article reports a novel process of cycloaddition of C-aryloxaziridines with a variety of alkenes to afford stable, five-membered heterocycles 13–24. The steric hindrance of the tert-butyl group on the nitrogen atom of the oxaziridine is responsible for the high stereoselectivity of the cycloaddition reaction.     

Methane Direct Conversion on Mo/ZSM-5 Catalysts Modified by Pd and Ru

The effect of addition of Ru and Pd to Mo/HZSM-5 catalysts used in the dehydroaromatiza-tion of methane was investigated. Catalytic tests and temperature-programmed oxidation results showed that Pd-based catalysts were more selective to naphthalene and suffered strong deactivation. The presence of Ru improved the activity and stability, with a decrease in the carbonaceous deposit probably because of a mechanism of protection of the Mo2C surface.     

Silver coordination chemistry of a new versatile "Janus"-type N(2),O(2)-bichelating donor, formation of an unprecedented supramolecular network of binuclear silver building blocks containing a five-coordinate beta-diketonate, and isolation of unexpected silver-tin-silver heterotrimetallic complexes from silver metathesis reactions

Synthetic, spectroscopic, and single-crystal X-ray studies are reported for several complexes of silver(I) with the N(2),O(2)-bichelating Q(py) ligand (HQ(py) = 1-(2-pyridyl)-3-methyl-4-trifluoroacetylpyrazol-5-one). Direct interaction between HQ(py) and AgNO(3) in methanol, in the presence of NaOCH(3), affords derivative Ag(Q(py)), showing a polynuclear structure composed of dinuclear building blocks with two different Ag environments and two Q(py) donors differently connected. By adding neutral ligands such as PR(3) (R = Ph, Cy, C(6)H(4)-o-CH(3), C(6)H(4)-p-F, Bu(i)) to Ag(Q(py)), dinuclear Ag(Q(py))(PR(3)) derivatives have been isolated, containing bridging N(2),O-exotridentate Q(py) donors spanning a pair of AgPR(3) moieties. Reaction of Ag(Q(py))(PPh(3)) with excess PPh(3) produces the mononuclear Ag(Q(py))(PPh(3))(2) containing N(2)-chelate Q(py). Ag(Q(py)) interacts with 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane (dppe) yielding the derivative Ag(Q(py))(dppe), having a polynuclear structure in the solid state which is seemingly disrupted in solution, with the formation of two new species, a mononuclear neutral compound and a dinuclear ionic one. By the interaction of Ag(Q(py)) with nitrogen donors L (L = imidazole (imH), 1-methylimidazole (Meim), 1-methyl-2-mercaptoimidazole (Hmimt), 1,10-phenanthroline (phen)), mononuclear species Ag(Q(py))(L) have been obtained, where Q(py) is coordinated to silver in N(2)-chelating mode. Ag(Q(py))(PPh(3))(2) reacts with SnRCl(3) (R = Ph, Bu(n)) affording heterotrimetallic [[(Ph(3)P)(2)AgCl](2)SnRCl(3)] derivatives.     

Bis-qtpy (qtpy = 2,2':6',2'':6'',2'"-quaterpyridine) metal complexes, [M(qtpy)(2)]2+

Reactions of perchlorates of iron(II), nickel(II), and zinc(II) with 2,2':6',2':6',2'"-quaterpyridine (qtpy) gave the first crystallographically established bis-qtpy metal complexes of formula [M(qtpy)(2)][ClO(4)](2) (M = Fe, Ni, Zn). Coordination of two terdentate quaterpyridines to the same center produces a distorted octahedron of six nitrogen atoms around the metal, leaving two pendant pyridyl groups, one for each quaterpyridine. For the diamagnetic zinc system, an NMR investigation has been carried out in order to establish the conditions to obtain the intermediate mono-qtpy complex, of formula [Zn(qtpy)(H(2)O)(2)][ClO(4)](2), which has also been crystallographically established. The corresponding hexafluorophosphate derivatives [M(qtpy)(2)][PF(6)](2) (M = Ni and Zn) were prepared in DMF at room temperature.     

Investigation of the thermal degradation of fully aromatic regular polyesters: Poly(oxy-1,4-phenyleneoxy-fumaroyl-bis-4-oxybenzoate)

The thermal behaviour and degradation mechanism of fully aromatic polyester, poly(oxy-1,4-phenyleneoxy-fumaroyl-bis-4-oxybenzoate), were studied by pyrolysis-gas chromatography and pyrolysis-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry at 500-700 °C, and by thermogravimetry. The influence of fullerene C₆₀ additives on thermal behaviour and thermal degradation was investigated. On the basis of pyrolysis products determined, the origin of the main degradation products (maleic anhydride, phenol, hydroquinone, phenyl ether, p-hydroxybenzoate-p′-phenol, etc.) was estimated. The fullerene is a well-known efficient acceptor of radicals and its presence influences the thermal degradation process of polymers shifting the decomposition from a radical pathway to a non-radical mechanism. Thermal degradation mechanism of poly(oxy-1,4-phenyleneoxy-fumaroyl-bis-4-oxybenzoate) is discussed in detail.
