γ-Cyclodextrin-enhanced dimerization of viologen radicals

The effects of cyclodextrins (CDs) on the monomer-dimer equilibria of 1,1-dialkylviologen radical cations (Cn Cn V^.+ :n = 1–5) and one-electron reduced 1,1-bis(3-sulfopropyl)viologen (SPV) were investigated spectroelectrochemically. The dimerization is enhanced upon addition of-CD, while the addition of-CD and-CD suppresses the dimerization. This is attributed to the stabilization of dimers by the inclusion of the dimer in the cavity of-CD From the dependence of the apparent dimerization constants (K _D ) on the concentration of-CD the association constants of the monomer (K _C1) and dimer (K _C2) with--CD were determined. TheK _C1 value increases slightly, from 5 M^–1 forn = 1 to 35 M^–1 forn = 5, as the length of the alkyl substituents of viologen increases. TheK _C2 value depends strongly on the alkyl substituents giving the smallest value of 85 M^–1 for (SPV^.–)₂ and the largest one of 3500 M^–1 for (C₄C₄V^.+)₂. These results, together with the difference in UV-vis absorption spectra obtained in the absence and in the presence of-CD, suggest that the alkyl substituents and part of the bipyridine ring of viologen radicals are included in the-CD cavity forming dimers in which the bipyridine rings are stacked at an oblique angle.     

Adsorption behavior of polymers having phosphoric acid group on γ-Fe2O3 and magnetic characteristics in magnetic coatings

Polymers having phosphoric acid groups were prepared as a model binder for magnetic coatings, and the correlation among the adsorption behavior of the polymers onto-Fe₂O₃ particles and the dispersibility, the orientation, and the packing density of-Fe₂O₃ particles in the magnetic coatings was investigated.PMMA homopolymer molecules hardly adsorbed on-Fe₂O₃, and the interfacial tension at a water/polymer solution (toluene) interface ( _W/T) was scarcely changed compared with a water/toluene interface. Increasing with the content of polymeric phosphoric acid group, the adsorbance of polymer increased and the interfacial tension ( _W/T) decreased. When the content of polymeric phosphoric acid groups was over 0.4 mol%, the adsorbance of polymer and interfacial tension ( _W/T ) remained constant. When these polymers were used as a binder for magnetic tapes, the dispersibility of-Fe₂O₃ in the magnetic coatings was improved, increasing with the content of polymeric phosphoric acid group; however, when the content of phosphoric acid group was over 0.2 mol%, its dispersibility decreased abruptly.Studies on Recording Magnetic Materials and Magnetic Composite.

The complexation of 2,3-anthracenedicarboxylate by β- and γ-cyclodextrins in mixed solvent systems as studied by induced circular dichroism. The role of cosolvent hydrophobicity

The complexation of 2,3-anthracenedicarboxylate (ADC) by- and-cyclodextrins in water containing an organic solvent has been studied by induced circular dichroism. It has been shown that an increase of organic solvent ratio causes the degradation of the 1:1 ADC:-CD complex and the liberation of one guest molecule from the 2:1 ADC:-CD complex in water. The higher the hydrophobicity of the cosolvent, the weaker the complexation of ADC by-CD.     

Nitrosation of mefenorex in the presence of cyclodextrins

- and -Cyclodextrin (CD) and heptakis-2,6-di-O-methyl--cyclodextrin (DIMEB) form soluble inclusion compounds with mefenorex (MEF); with -CD a partial inclusion occurs. No solid inclusion compound could be obtained with the four CDs. -, -CD and DIMEB, but not -CD, enhance the nitrosation rate of MEF if the nitrosation assay procedure (NAP test) is applied. During this reaction with - and -CD, solid inclusion compounds of the CDs and nitrosomefenorex (NMEF) precipitate.Part of the Ph.D. thesis of V. Wedelich, Freie Universität Berlin, 1985.     

Fluorescent Molecular Sensing System Based on Tri-Pyrenes-Labeled γ-Cyclodextrin at the Hetero Rim

Fluorescent active host labeled at the upper and lower rims of -cyclodextrin, namely, mono-3^A-deoxy-3^A-pyrenebutylamido-6^X,Y-O-bis-pyrenebutylate-mono-altro--cyclodextrin (-3) has been synthesized as a chemosensor for steroidal guests using fluorescence spectra change upon a guest addition. The -3 shows monomer and excimer fluorescence, which results in an increase of the intensity of monomer and decrease of excimer fluorescence with a host–guest binding in the cyclodextrin cavity. The extent of monomer and excimer fluorescence variations of -3 was used as an indication for the sensing ability for the guests examined. The guest-induced fluorescence changes were measured for 10^–7 M solutions of -3. The sensing parameters (I_ex/I⁰_ex and I_mon/I⁰_mono) were used to describe the sensing ability of -3. The values of I_ex/I⁰_ex describe that -3 shows less selectivity for guests than that of mono-3^A-deoxy-3^A-pyrenebutylamido-6^X-O-mono-pyrenebutylate-mono-altro--cyclodextrin (-2), and the values of I_mon/I⁰_mono show that -3 shows higher sensitivity and selectivity than that of -2.     

Adsorption of polyacrylic acid on hydrophobic and hydrophilic surfaces

In this paper the adsorption of polyacrylic acid (MW=5000) on the hydrophobic mercury surface and on the hydrophilic -Al₂O₃ surface at pH=3–4 in 0.55 M sodium chloride solution was investigated. Measurements of change of the double layer capacitance by phase selective a.c. voltammetry were used for determination of the adsorption of polyacrylic acid on the mercury electrode. The same method was used for the determination of the polyacrylic acid remaining in the solution after the adsorption on hydrophilic particles (-Al₂O₃ particles). The results obtained for adsorption of polyacrylic acid were compared to the results of the adsorption of humic substance of similar molecular weight under similar experimental conditions. The study has shown that polyacrylic acid in acidic solution is strongly adsorbed on the mercury surface, which is comparable to the adsorption of humic substance on the mercury surface. At the same time, the adsorption/deposition of polyacrylic acid on the -Al₂O₃ surface is weaker compared to humic acid, indicating at a smaller degree of interaction of polyacrylic acid with aluminium ions and with hydrophilic surface.     

Fluorescent Molecular Recognition and Sensing System of Bis-Dansyl Modified γ-Cyclodextrins

Flexible hosts, 6A,6B-; 6A,6C-; 6A,6D-; and 6A,6E-bis dansylglycine-modified -cyclodextrins (-1, -2, -3, and -4, respectively) have been synthesized as a sensing molecule for organic guests including terpenoids and bile acids. These host compounds show a pure monomer fluorescence whose intensity is decreased or enhanced upon addition of guest species. The value I/I₀, where I and I₀ are fluorescence intensities in the presence and absence of a guest and I is I₀- I, was used as a parameter of sensitivity. These hosts exhibit highly sensitive and selective molecular recognition ability, particularly, for lithochoic acid, chenodeoxycholic acid, and ursodeoxycholic acid. The behaviors of the appended moieties of these hosts when host–guest complexation occurs are studied by induced circular dichroism (ICD) spectra and fluorescence spectral change on accommodation of a guest. The ICD pattern of these hosts alone or on accommodation of a guest is very similar, indicating that the behavior of the appended moieties are very similar. The guest-induced variations in the fluorescence or ICD intensity suggest that the appended moieties act as a hydrophobic cap that enables the cyclodextrin to form 1 : 1 host–guest complexes.     

Dielectric constants of acetonitrile, γ-butyrolactone,propylene carbonate,and 1,2-dimethoxyethane as a function of pressure and temperature

The dielectric constants of 1,2-dimethoxyethane, acetonitrile, -butyrolactone, and propylene carbonate were determined from capacitance measurements extrapolated to infinite frequency; ln are reported as a function of pressure up to 80 MPa at 15, 25, 35, 45°C and as a function of temperature in the range 10 to 50°C at 0.10133 MPa. The variation of ln with temperature or pressure can be expressed by a second order polynomial expression. The isothermal compressibilities of the solvents were determined at 25°C from sound velocities, densities, and heat capacities. A simple correlation can be established between ln /P and for most aprotic solvent.     

In Situ IR Spectroscopic Studies on Molybdenum Nitride Catalysts: Active Sites and Surface Reactions

Recent IR spectroscopic studies on the surface properties of fresh Mo₂N/-Al₂O₃ catalyst are presented in this paper. The surface sites of fresh Mo₂N/-Al₂O₃, both Mo⁺ (0<<2) and N sites, are probed by CO adsorption. Two characteristic IR bands were observed at 2045 and 2200 cm^-1, due to linearly adsorbed CO on Mo and N sites, respectively. The surface N sites are highly reactive and can react with adsorbed CO to form NCO species. Unlike adsorbed CO on reduced passivated one, the adsorbed CO on fresh Mo₂N/-Al₂O₃ behaves similarly to that of group VIII metals, suggesting that fresh nitride resembles noble metals. It is found that the surface of Mo nitrides slowly transformed into sulfide under hydrotreating conditions, which could be the main reason for the activity drop of molybdenum nitride catalysts in the presence of sulfur-containing species. Some surface reactions, such as selective hydrogenation of 1,3-butadiene, isomerization of 1-butene, and hydrodesulfurization of thiophene, were studied on both fresh and reduced passivated Mo₂N/-Al₂O₃ catalysts using IR spectroscopy. The mechanisms of these reactions are proposed. The adsorption and reaction behaviors of these molecules on fresh molybdenum nitride also resemble those on noble metals, manifesting the unique properties of fresh molybdenum nitride catalysts. Mo and N sites are found to play different roles in the adsorption and catalytic reactions on the fresh Mo₂N/-Al₂O₃ catalyst. Generally, Mo sites are the main active sites for the adsorption and reactions of adsorbates; N sites are not directly involved in catalytic reactions but they modify the electronic properties of Mo sites.     

Solubility Study of Nimodipine Inclusion Complexation with α- and β-Cyclodextrin and some Substituted Cyclodextrins

The solubility of nimodipine was measured in aqueous solutions of the following cyclodextrins: -cyclodextrin (-CD), hydroxypropyl--CD (HP--CD), -cyclodextrin (-CD), random substituted methyl--CD (M--CD), three hydroxypropyl--CDs (HP--CD) with mutually different average degree of substitution, and hydroxypropyl--cyclodextrin (HP--CD). From the determined linear solubility diagrams the values of the binding constant K₁₁ of the inclusion complexes of nimodipine with the respective CDs were evaluated. The -CDs efficiently solubilized sparingly soluble nimodipine, the highest value of K₁₁ was found for M--CD (1680 M^-1), followed by -CD (550 M^-1) and HP--CDs, where the higher degree of substitution lowered K₁₁. Only slight solubilization of nimodipine was observed in the solutions of the -CDs and HP--CD.     

Pure and mixed monolayers of poly-L-methionine and poly-γy-methyl-L-glutamate with 1,2 dioleyl-L-α-phosphatidylcholine at air-water interface

Monolayers of poly-L-methionine (PM) and poly--methyl-L-glutamate (PMG), spread at an air-water interface, exhibit a high compressibility plateau region at 10 dyn/cm and 18 dyn/cm in their respective-A curves. This behaviour is related to a-helical conformation of the polypeptide molecules in the said interface.Comparative studies of the areas per residue observed in the spreading isotherms, with the areas calculated from molecular models, indicate that the polypeptide molecules should be associated in parallel, forming islets of at least 5-helix chains.Mixed monolayers corresponding to the poly-L-methionine (PM)-1,2 dioleyl-L--phosphatidylcholine (DOPC) and poly--methyl-L-glutamate (PMG)-1,2 dioleyl-L--phosphatidylcholine (DOPC) systems, follow, in every case, the additivity rule for monolayer composition, any indicating that its components are insoluble in the surface mixture. In the case of mixed monolayers of PM-DOPC, a certain degree of compatibility is possible among its components, as a modulation of the plateau region is observed in the spreading isotherms, while for the PMG-DOPC system the plateau region appears at the same surface pressure value as the isotherm corresponding to pure PMG polypeptide.Instituto de Química-Física Rocasolano, C.S.I.C.

Ergebnisse dehnungskalorimetrischer Untersuchungen an einigen Poly-[α-aminosäuren]

Zusammenfassung Dehnungskalorimetrische Untersuchungen an Folien von Copolymeren ausL-Alanin undL-Cystein im Molverhältnis 973, 955 und 9010 ergaben einmal, daß im Unterschied zu homopolymerem (Ala) _n selbst bei Dehnungen bis zu 10% [(l- l _o)/l _o =0,1] kein exothermer Vorgang auftritt. Weiterhin ist der zu Beginn der Dehnung beobachtete energieelastische Vorgang praktisch vollständig reversibel, wie der beim Entlasten auftretende, dem Betrag nach gleiche exotherme Peak zeigt.Dieses vom Homopolymeren abweichende Verhalten ist anscheinend durch die Bildung interchenarer Disulfidbrücken (-S-S-) durch Oxidation von SH-(Thiol-)Gruppen in den Folien bedingt. Die entsprechenden Copolymeren, in denen die Thiolgruppen durch Carbobenzoxygruppen (-OCOCH₂C₆H₅) geschützt und daher die Bildung von-S-S-Brücken nicht möglich ist, zeigen ein dem Homopolymeren ähnliches Verhalten. Die recht unterschiedlichen Ergebnisse, die an den jeweils entsprechenden Copolymeren (-SH bzw.-S-OCOCH₂C₆H₅) erhalten wurden, können einmal sterisch und andererseits durch die unterschiedlichen zwischenmolekularen Wechselwirkungen der Seitengruppen der Comonomeren bedingt sein.Gegenüber den o. a. Polymerfolien sind die aus Poly--methyl-D-glutamat] (PMDG) wesentlich dehnbarer. Bei stufenweiser Dehnung tritt > 2.4% Dehnung außer dem anfangs beobachteten energieelastischen Peak ein exothermer Vorgang auf, dem beim Entlasten kein endothermer Prozeß entspricht. Dabei handelt es sich also um einen offensichtlich durch plastisches Fließen bedingten irreversiblen Vorgang.Bei kontinuierlicher Dehnung bis um ca. 50% wird nach dem anfänglichen endothermen Vorgang ein sehr starker exothermer Prozeß beobachtet, währenddem die Kraft praktisch konstant bleibt. Der stufenartige Verlauf des exothermen Peak deutet auf diskontinuierliche Umordnungsvorgänge im Material hin. Wie die IR-Spektren der Folien vor und nach dem Verstrecken zeigen, tritt eine Konformationsänderung dabei kaum auf. Dies ist anscheinend auf die Überstruktur der aus 1,2-Dichlorethan gegossenen Folien zurückzuführen, da hierbei die-helicalen Aggregate isoliert in einer Matrix vorliegen. Dadurch kann der für eine Konformationsumwandlung erforderliche Zug nicht auf die-Helices übertragen werden, so wie es bei Folien mit netzwerkartig angeordneten-Helices der Fall ist [4].Ähnliche Resultate wurden an Folien aus Poly-[L-leucin] und einem 11 Copolymeren ausL-Leucin undL-Methionin erhalten. Hierbei steigt allerdings die Kraft während des exothermen Vorgangs an, was darauf zurückgeführt werden kann, daß entanglements gelöst werden müssen.

Stretching calorimetric experiments on films of copolymers ofL-alanine and L-cysteine (mole ratio 973, 955 and 9010) show that in contrast to (Ala)_n no exothermic process occurs also at (l- l _o )/l _o =0.1. Furthermore, the initially occurring energyelastic process is a practical completely reversibel one.This behaviour deviating from that of the homopolymer is probably due to the formation of interchain disulfide crosslinks (-S-S-) by oxidation of thiol (-SH) groups. The behaviour of the corresponding copolymers, in which the thiol groups are blocked by carbobenzoxy (-OCOCH₂C₆H₅) groups, is similar to that of the homopolymer. The remarkable differences in the results obtained with the corresponding copolymers containing -SH or -S-OCOCH₂C₆H₅ may be due to sterical reasons and/or to differences in the intermolecular interactions of the comonomer side-chains.Films made of poly-[-methyl-D-glutamate] (PMDG) have a much higher stretchability than that of (Ala)_n and the copolymers mentioned above. Stepwise stretching of PMDG-films at (l- l _o)/l _o above 0.024 causes-besides the initially occurring endothermic peak — an exothermic process. No corresponding endothermic peak during deloading is observed. This irreversible process obviously is caused by plastic flow of the PMDG.During continuously stretching to about (l- l _o )/l _o , 0.5 a pronounced exothermic peak at almost constant force is observed. The stepwise character of this peak suggests discontinuously changes in the order of the material.According to the IR-spectra of the films before and after stretching conformation changes of the PMDG are negligible. This is probably due to the superstructure of the films cast from 1,2-dichloroethane solution. In this case there are rodlike-helical aggregates dispersed in a low ordered matrix and therefore the stress essential for a conformation change from to is not exerted to the-helices [4] like in the case of networks built from-helices.Similar results were obtained on films made of poly-[L-leucine] and a 11 copolymer ofL- leucine andL-methionine. In this case however the force increases during the exothermic process, which may be caused by entanglements.

     

An infrared and raman spectroscopic investigation of copper(II) tetracyanonickelate complexes ofα-,β- andγ-picoline

Copper(II) dipicoline tetracyanonickelate complexes, CuL₂Ni(CN)₄ (L=,- or-picoline), have been prepared for the first time and their infrared and Raman spectra are reported. Their structure consists of polymeric layers of {Cu-Ni(CN)₄} with picoline molecules bound directly to the copper. It is proposed that the Cu-NC bonds are in two nonequivalent pairs in trans positions. Low temperature (83K) IR spectra have also been recorded and it is noted that the Ni(CN)₄ group frequencies increase with decreasing temperature while the picoline frequencies are insensitive to temperature.     

Synthesis of γ-Cyclodextrin Pyrene-Labeled at the Hetero Rim and Its Use in Fluorescent Molecular Sensing

Fluorogenic active host labeled at the upper and lower rims of -cyclodextrin, namely, mono-3^A-deoxy-3^A-pyrenebutylamido-6^X-O-mono-pyrenebutylate-mono-altro--cyclodetrin (mixture -1,X = A, B, C, D, E, F, G, or H), has been synthesized in order to investigate their host-guest complexation with steroidal compoundsusing fluorescence spectra. Monomer and excimer fluorescence was observed for mixture host. Inclusion of a guest molecule in the cyclodextrin cavity resultedin increased monomer fluorescence and decreased excimer fluorescence. The extent of monomerand excimer fluorescence variations ofmixture -1 with the guestwas used as an indication for the sensing ability. The guest inducedfluorescence changes were measured for 10^-7 M solutions of mixture -1.The values I/I ⁰ , where I ⁰ and I are fluorescence intensities in the absence and presence of a guest, respectively, and I is I ⁰ - I, were then used to describe the sensing ability.     

Intercalation of porphyrin (TMPyP) and copper-porphyrin into γ-zirconium phosphate

Water-soluble ,,,-tetrakis(4-N-methylpyridyl)porphine(TMPyP) was directly intercalated into -zirconium phosphate (-ZrP) with expansion of the interlayer distance from 12.3 to a maximum of 17.2 Å, indicating parallel orientation of porphyrin to the layer of -ZrP. Diffuse reflectance spectra of the intercalate shows that the porphyrin is protonated in the interlayer space. Uptake of Cu²⁺ ions into the porphyrin intercalate takes place with further increase in the interlayer distance. It was observed that TMPyP metalated Cu²⁺ in -ZrP. Copper porphyrin can also be taken up quite easily and an interlayer spacing of 18.6 Å is attained.     

Reactivity of pyrrole pigments,XXI: Structure and reactivity of Cu(II) and Zn(II) bilindione chelates

Summary Several Mn, Cu, and Zn chelates of etiobiliverdin-IV-, mesobiliverdin-IX, and its dimethyl ester are studied. The results show that the chemical constitution of the Cu biliverdin chelate corresponds to a formal metal oxidation state of (II) coordinated to a neutral radical of the NH trideprotonated biliverdin. The reactivity of the Cu(II) bilindione chelates in nucleophilic solvents agrees with that expected for a neutral radical structure of the ligand; in CH₃OH, they undergo oxidation towards dimethoxybilipurpurins. The magnetic behaviour of Cu(II) etiobiliverdinate-IV- in the solid state shows an intramolecular weak antiferromagnetic coupling d⁹Cu-to--radical (J=–23 cm^–1) and an intermolecular weak antiferromagnetic coupling -radical-to--radical (J=–45 cm^–1). The analogy of this magnetic behaviour to that of the cation radical of metalloporphyrins is discussed.

Reaktivität von Pyrrolpigmenten, 21. Mitt.: Struktur und Reaktivität von Cu(II)- und Zn(II)-Chelaten von Bilindionen

Zusammenfassung Einige Mn, Cu and Zn Chelate von Etiobiliverdin-IV-, Mesobiliverdin-IX und seinem Dimethylester werden untersucht. Im Komplex koordiniert ein Metallatom (mit der Formalladung II) mit einem Neutralradikal des dreifach NH-deprotonierten Bilindions. Die Reaktivität des Komplexes gegenüber nukleophilen Lösungmitteln entspricht erwartungsgemäß dem eines neutralen -Radikals; in CH₃OH wird er zu Dimethoxybilipurpurin oxidiert. Bei Cu(II)-Etiobiliverdinat-IV beobachtet man im festen Zustand neben schwacher, antiferromagnetischer Kupplung zwischen d⁹Cu und -Radikal (J=–23 cm^–1) auch eine schwache, intermolekulare, antiferromagnetische Wechselwirkung zwischen zwei -Radikalen (J=–45 cm^–1). Dieses magnetische Verhalten wird dem des -Kationradikals von Metalloporphyrinen gegenübergestellt.

     

Molekülbewegung in Polymeren

Zusammenfassung Die 2g1-Kinke wird als Baufehler mit 4 möglichen Lagen im idealisierten PÄ-Kristall elastizitätstheoretisch durch je einen Kräftedipol beschrieben. Die Berechnung des Relaxationsbetrags für den -Prozeß in PÄ — Kinkschritt (_II) und Kinksprung (_II) — ergibt mit h·c=0,0006 Übereinstimmung mit der in (7) verwendeten paraelastischen Abgleitvorstellung und mit dem Experiment. Mittlere 2g1-Kinkblockgrößeh und Defektanteil der thermischen Ausdehnung werden unter der Nebenbedingung konstanter 2g1-Kinkkonzentrationc diskutiert.

Summary The 2g1-Kink is considered as an elastic dipole in the idealized PE-crystal, with 4 possible positions, that is 4 dipol-tensors. The calculated relaxation strength for the -process in PE — kinkstep (_II) and kinkjump (_II) — agrees with the results obtained by considering a simple shear displacement (7) and with experiment, assuming h. The mean number h of 2g1-kinks in a bloc and the thermal expansion due to these kink defects are discussed under the additional condition that 2g1-kinkconcentrationc is constant.

Synthesis and sorption properties of new hybrid chelating sorbents with β-alanine functional groups

A series of -aminopropylsilylated sorbents was obtained from different oxide supports (silica gels, silica fillers, macroporous glasses, alumina) and by the direct synthesis (hydrolytic polycondensation of tetraalkoxysilanes with -aminopropyltriethoxysilane). The highest degree of immobilization was achieved for silicas, while the most convenient solvent was methanol. Sorbents with -alanine functional groups were obtained by the subsequent reaction with acrylic acid. The degree of -carboxyethylation was 1.3–1.9, and the highest content of functional groups (v_COOH = 3.23 mmol g^–1) was achieved for carboxyethylated xero gel synthesized by the copolycondensation of tetraethoxysilane with -aminopropyltriethoxysilane. The sorbents containing -alanine possess a higher selectivity of Cu²⁺ ion sorption than the initial -aminopropylsilylated sorbents.__________Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.
