Raman and IR Spectroscopy of a Mixed CH3CN-H2O Solvent in the Cn Stretching Region

Raman and IR spectroscopy have been used to elucidate the solvation process in a mixed water-acetonitrile solvent in the CN stretching region. The number and positions of the components forming the spectral contour are established by Fourier deconvolution and Factor analysis and their areas are determined by fitting. The forms of existence of acetonitrile in the mixed solvent are discussed.

Proton NMR probing of stoichiometry and thermodynamic data for the complexation of Na and Li ions with 15-Crown-5 in acetonitrile-nitrobenzene mixtures

Proton NMR was used to study the complexation reaction of Li⁺ and Na⁺ ions with 15-Crown-5 (15C5) in a number of binary acetonitrile (AN)-nitrobenzene (NB) mixtures at different temperatures. In all cases, the exchange between free and complexed 15C5 was fast on the NMR timescale and only a single population average ¹H signal was observed. The formation constants of the resulting 1:1 complexes in different solvent mixtures were determined by computer fitting of the chemical shift mole ratio data. There is an inverse relationship between the complex stability and the amount of AN in the solvent mixtures. The enthalpy and entropy values for the complexation reaction were evaluated from the temperature dependence of the formation constants. In all the solvent mixtures studied, the resulting complex is enthalpy stabilized but entropy destabilized. Finally, the experimental results were compared with theoretical ones that were obtained from molecular modeling methods. Based on our results, it is most probable that Li⁺-15C5 in solvent stays in a rather nesting complex form with greater LogK_f values, but Na⁺-15C5 forms a complete perching complex form with lower LogK_f values.     

Structures and Stability of Complexes of E(C6F5)3 (E = B,Al, Ga,In) with Acetonitrile

Complexes formed by interaction of E(C₆F₅)₃ (E = B, Al, Ga, In) with excess of acetonitrile (AN) were structurally characterized. Quantum chemical computations indicate that for Al(C₆F₅)₃ and In(C₆F₅)₃ the formation of a complex of 1:2 composition is more advantageous than for B(C₆F₅)₃ and Ga(C₆F₅)₃, in line with experimental observations. Formation of the solvate [Al(C₆F₅)₃ · 2AN] · AN is in agreement with predicted thermodynamic instability of [Al(C₆F₅)₃ · 3AN]. Tensimetry study of B(C₆F₅)₃ · CH₃CN reveals its stability in the solid state up to 197 °C. With the temperature increase, the complex undergoes irreversible thermal decomposition with pentafluorobenzene formation.     

Copper‐Catalyzed Tandem Synthesis of Functionalized Sulfonyl‐yn‐imines from Sodium Arylsulfinates,Trichloroacetonitrile, and Terminal Alkynes

A one‐pot synthesis of functionalized sulfonyl‐yn‐imines via a Cu‐catalyzed tandem reaction of sodium arylsulfinates, trichloroacetonitrile, and terminal alkynes has been developed.     

A novel tris(2,2′-bipyridine)ruthenium(II)/tripropylamine cathodic electrochemiluminescence in acetonitrile for the indirect determination of hydrogen peroxide

A novel tris(2,2′-bipyridine)ruthenium(II) (Ru(bpy)₃²⁺) cathodic electrochemiluminescence (ECL) was generated at −0.78 V at the Pt electrode in acetonitrile (ACN), which suggested that the cathodic ECL differed from conventional cathodic ECL. It was found that tripropylamine (TPrA) could enhance this cathodic ECL and the linear range (log-log plot) was 0.2 μM-0.2 mM. In addition, hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) could inhibit the cathodic ECL and was indirectly detected with the linear range of 27-540 μM. The RSD (n = 12) of the ECL intensity in the presence of 135 μM H₂O₂ was 0.87%. This method was also demonstrated for the fast determination of H₂O₂ in disinfectant sample and satisfactory results were obtained.     

Improving the selectivity of non-polar alkanes, alkenes, and aromatic hydrocarbon compounds by the application of acetonitrile as a Cl reagent

The selective enhancement of membrane introduction mass spectrometry for non-polar alkanes, alkenes, and aromatic hydrocarbon compounds by the application of acetonitrile as a chemical ionization reagent was investigated. Acetonitrile Cl is able to produce specific fragment ions for many of the compounds test and this can be used to identify and quantify the parent neutrals. This method provided relatively high detection limits of the test compounds. This method could potentially be useful for analytical applications such as the detection of non-polar hydrocarbons for environmental studies if CH₃CN Cl/MIMS is coupled with a preconcentration method.     

Performance of columns packed with the new shell particles,Kinetex-C18

The performance of the new Kinetex-C₁₈ column was investigated. Packed with a new brand of porous shell particles, this column has an outstanding efficiency. Once corrected for the contribution of the instrument extra column volume, the minimum values of the reduced plate heights for a number of low molecular weight compounds (e.g., anthracene and naphtho[2,3-a]pyrene) were between 1.0 and 1.3, breaking the legendary record set 3 years ago by Halo-C₁₈ packed columns. The liquid-solid mass transfer of proteins (e.g., insulin and lyzozyme) is exceptionally fast on Kinetex-C₁₈ much faster than on the Halo-C₁₈ column. The different contributions of dispersion and mass transfer resistances to the column efficiency were determined and discussed. The possible reasons for this extremely high column efficiency are discussed.     

Oxidative addition transition states of Pd(0) complexes in polar solvent—a DFT study involving implicit and explicit solvation

Previous reports in the literature have suggested that concerted transition states for oxidative addition would not exist in solution. By contrast, this report describes the successful location of transition states for the oxidative addition of monoligated Pd(P^tBu₃), bisligated Pd(P^tBu₃)(MeCN), and anionic Pd(P^tBu₃)F^? complexes to C–Cl and C–OTf of an aryl chloro triflate in polar solvent (MeCN). Optimizations were done with implicit solvation and a combined implicit/explicit solvation approach in which six acetonitrile molecules were additionally involved in the optimization. The geometries obtained from optimizations employing an implicit solvation model are structurally largely analogous to those found using a combination of implicit and explicit solvation.     

Bromodimethylsulfonium bromide (BDMS): a useful reagent for conversion of aldoximes and primary amides to nitriles

An operationally simple and high yielding procedure has been developed for the preparation of nitriles from aldoximes and primary amides using bromodimethylsulfonium bromide (BDMS) as a novel and efficient reagent in the absence of any added base or catalyst. The optimal protocol is applicable to access a wide range of cyano compounds including aromatic, heterocyclic, and aliphatic species. The conversion of aldoximes to nitriles takes place at room temperature in acetonitrile, whereas acetonitrile at reflux temperature is required for rapid conversion in the case of primary amides.
