Simultaneous kinetic determination of thiocyanate and sulfide using eigenvalue ranking and correlation ranking in principal component-wavelet neural network

In this work, two toxic compound, sulfide and thiocyanate were determined simultaneously using kinetic spectrophotometry. These anions have shown the catalytic effects on the reaction between iodine and azide. Since the system was nonlinear, a nonlinear model, principal component-wavelet neural network (PC-WNN) was used as the multivariate calibration method. The principal component analysis was used to decrease the dimension of the original matrix. In other words, the scores of the PCs, 5, instead of the original variables, 301, were used as the input for the model. Two methods were used to select the most relevant principal components: eigenvalue ranking and correlation ranking. In this work, eigenvalue and correlation ranking methods have shown better results for thiocyanate and sulfide, respectively, and it can be concluded that these methods are complementary. The WNN has several advantages relative to other types of neural network such as better convergence ability. The data set was divided to calibration, prediction and validation sets. Each set was selected so that the concentrations of the analytes were approximately covered the entire ranges of the analytes. Mean relative error for thiocyanate and sulfide in validation set were 8.5 and 10.6, respectively. Thiocyanate and sulfide can be determined in the range of 60–700 ng ml⁻¹ and 20–400 ng ml⁻¹, respectively. The proposed method was applied for the determination of sulfide and thiocyanate in real samples such as tap, waste and river waters with satisfactory results.     

Electrochemical Processes of Sulfide in NaCl Electrolyte Solutions on Mercury Electrode

The electrochemical processes of sulfide in NaCl electrolyte solutions were studied using stripping cyclic voltammetry, differential capacity and chronoamperometric measurements. Some new effects were observed and are here discussed. At potentials around ?0.1 to ?0.3 V a pair of Faradaic adsorptive peaks, which can only be observed in the presence of chloride, is attributed to the formation of HgCl ion from the deposited layer of HgS. A second pair of peaks of purely capacitive character was observed at ?0.4 V. This is the result of the reorientation and partial desorption or transformation of HgS layers. The formation and dissolution of HgS layers on mercury has been well investigated previously. We observed some new effects after depositing approximately ten layers of HgS and attributed this to the formation of polysulfides at positive potentials.

Syntheses and structures of six compounds in the A2LiMS4 (A=K, Rb, Cs; M=V, Nb, Ta) family

Six new compounds in the A₂LiMS₄ (A=K, Rb, Cs; M=V, Nb, Ta) family, namely K₂LiVS₄, Rb₂LiVS₄, Cs₂LiVS₄, Rb₂LiNbS₄, Cs₂LiNbS₄, and Rb₂LiTaS₄, have been synthesized by the reactions of the elements in Li₂S/S/A₂S₃ (A=K, Rb, Cs) fluxes at 773 K. The A and M atoms play a role in the coordination environment of the Li atoms, leading to different crystal structures. Coordination numbers of Li atoms are five in K₂LiVS₄, four in A₂LiVS₄ (A=Rb, Cs) and Cs₂LiNbS₄, and both four and five in Rb₂LiMS₄ (M=Nb, Ta). The A₂LiVS₄ (A=Rb, Cs) structure comprises one-dimensional chains of tetrahedra. The Rb₂LiMS₄ (M=Nb, Ta) structure is composed of two-dimensional layers. The Cs₂LiNbS₄ structure contains one-dimensional chains that are related to the Rb₂LiMS₄ layers. The K₂LiVS₄ structure contains a different kind of layer.     

A highly efficient synthesis of antiobestic ligand GW501516 for the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor δ through in situ protection of the phenol group by reaction with a Grignard reagent

A new synthesis of an agonist for the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor δ (PPARδ) GW501516 as a potential antiobesity drug is described. The synthetic route involves the in situ protection of the phenol group with a Grignard reagent and a regio-controlled one-pot reaction for the formation of a sulfide bond as the key step. Starting from commercially available 4-iodo-2-methylphenol, this approach affords GW501516 with an overall yield of 87%.     

The Electrochemically Initiated Reaction of Sulfide with N,N‐Diethyl‐p‐phenylenediamine in Dimethylformamide. Part II: Implications for Sensing Strategies

The electrochemically initiated reaction of p‐phenylenediamines with sulfide in aqueous media is well documented. We now report the adaptation of this chemistry into nonaqueous media. This is critically appraised as a means of detecting sulfide. The electrochemically initiated reaction of N,N‐diethyl‐p‐phenylenediamine with sulfide is shown at both macro‐ and platinum microdisk electrodes with quantitative detection of sulfide produced by means of the enhanced currents observed upon its addition. The linear detection range for sulfide is dependent on the concentration of N,N‐diethyl‐p‐phenylenediamine present with a linear range from 28–3290 μM and a limit of detection of 22 μM achievable. This represents a large increase compared to that found previously in aqueous media and offers the prospect of more ready applications in high temperature systems.
