Solvent-generated HPLC systems with β-cyclodextrin derivatives as chiral additives

It is shown that enantioselective solvent-generated liquid-liquid and liquid-solid Chromatographic systems with -cyclodextrin derivatives can be realized. The liquid-liquid systems are based on ternary solvent systems of limited miscibility, containing chiral additives; the chiral stationary phase is spontaneously generated on the porous microparticulate silica used as a solid support. In the solvent-generated adsorption systems a very small proportion of -cyclodextrin derivatives is added to the mobile phase. These components act as column activators, since they are strongly adsorbed on the RP solid support where they form new stereoselective adsorption sites. It is demonstrated that dynamically generated systems with -cyclodextrin derivatives as chiral agents are powerful and versatile tools for enantioseparation of different types of compounds. This technique creates not only a new type of selectivity but also leads to very stable and reproducible Chromatographic columns.Dedicated to Professor J. F. K.

Reversed phase liquid chromatographic retention behavior of polystyrene homopolymers

Summary Isocratic and gradient elution high performance liquid chromatographic measurements of the retention behavior of polystyrene homopolymers with molecular weights ranging from 2 kD to 390 kD were performed using mixed methylene chloride-methanol mobile phases of varying composition and a C-18 chemically bonded stationary phase supported on either 100 Å or 300 Å mean pore diameter silica. Isocratic measurements of the capacity factor, k, for different molecular weight homopolymers as a function of the volume fraction of methylene chloride, , permit determination of the critical composition, _c, which renders k=1 and the local slope, S=–lnk/_c of the lnk- isotherm at =_c, and also the dependence of _c and S on the degree of polymerization, M. Linear gradient elution measurements of _c and S were also performed and compared to the corresponding isocratic measurements. The general retention behavior and the dependence of _c and S on M compare favorably to the predictions of the theory of homopolymer retention and fractionation developed by Boehm, Martire, Armstrong, and Bui (BMAB). Comparison is also made between the present work and the experimental observations of other workers on related chromatographic systems involving hompolymer retention.     

Mobile phase effects in reversed-phase chromatography VI. Thermodynamic models for retention and its dependence on mobile phase composition and temperature

Summary The physico-chemical framework is examined by comparing the predictions of three models for the combined effects of the composition of the hydroorganic mobile phase and the column temperature on the retention ofn-alkylbenzenes on hydrocarbonaceous bonded stationary phases. The well-mixed model leads to expressions for the dependence of retention on three factors which are equivalent to those derived previously from linear extrathermodynamic relationships. The diachoric model stems from the assumption that the mobile phase is microscopically heterogeneous and the displacement model is identical to the retention model most widely used in chromatography with polar sorbents and less polar solvents. Over limited ranges of mobile phase composition and temperature, each model does describe retention behavior. However, only the wellmixed model describes retention well over the entire range of mobile phase composition and temperature studied here. The success of the well-mixed model, and its limits, give insight into the role of the organic solvent in determining the magnitude of chromatographic retention on non-polar stationary phases with hydro-organic eluents.Dedicated to Professor S. R. Lipsky on the occasion of his 60th birthday.

The measurement of meaningful activation energies

The uncertainty surrounding the significance of the measured kinetic parameters of solid state decomposition reactions is discussed briefly. Some suggestions are made about what precautions should be taken in order to favour the measurement of undistorted results. Some criteria are proposed for deciding whether a measuredE value can be considered to have its usual meaning. The results of a series of experiments aimed at measuring the activation energy of the decomposition of calcium carbonate using a variety of methods, sample sizes and experimental conditions are presented. These results are compared with results found in the literature and it is concluded that it is possible to measure a reproducible value forE and it is tentatively proposed that this value is meaningful in terms of the energy barrier model of chemical reaction kinetics.

Zusammenfassung Die sich auf die Signifikanz gemessener kinetischer Parameter von Zersetzungsreaktionen fester Stoffe beziehende Unsicherheit wird kurz diskutiert. Es werden einige Vorschläge hinsichtlich der Vorkehrungen unterbreitet, die zu treffen sind, um unverfälschte Meßergebnisse zu erhalten. Einige Kriterien werden vorgeschlagen, die geeignet sind zu entscheiden, ob ain gemessenerE-Wert die übliche Bedutung hat. Ergebnisse einer Reihe von Experimenten werden angegeben, die ausgeführt wurden, um die nach verschiedenen Methoden, bei Anwendung unterschiedlicher Probenmengen und unter verschiedenen Versuchsbedingungen für die Aktivierungsenergie der Zersetzung von CaCO₃ erhaltenen Werte zu vergleichen. Es wird gefolgert, daß es möglich ist, den Wert vonE reproduzierbar zu messen, und versuchsweise vorgeschlagen, diesen Wert als sinnvoll für das Energiebarrierenmodell der chemischen Reaktionskinetik anzusehen.

Diffusion effects in reversible energy transfer

Back energy transfer reduces the apparent quenching constant, which is an important parameter in the interpretation of energy transfer data. This determination of kinetic results may be erroneous when possible diffusion effects and non-uniform configurational distributions are not taken into account.

Thermal properties of potassium dichromate

Thermosonimetry, DTA, high temperature XRD and hot stage microscopy have been used to study the thermal behaviour of K₂Cr₂O₇. A rapid triclinic to monoclinic phase transformation occurs at 543 K slowly reversible at 508 K. Severe crystallite fracturing is associated with the reverse transition and manifests anomalous X-ray intensities which have been previously interpreted as metastable phase formation. On reheating, the transformation occurs at 528 K. Possible interpretations of the temperature hystereses are given.

Zusammenfassung Thermosonimetrie, DTA, Hochtemperatur-XRD und Mikroskopie in heißem Zustand wurden zur Untersuchung des thermischen Verhaltens von K₂Cr₂O₇ eingesetzt. Eine schnelle Phasenänderung von der triklinen zur monoklinen Form findet bei 543 K statt, welche bei 508 K langsam reversibel ist. Der schwere Kristallbruch ist mit dem umgekehrten Übergang verbunden und weist anomale Röntgenstrahlen-Intensitäten auf, welche früher als Bildung einer metastabilen Phase gedeutet wurden. Bei wiederholtem Aufheizen geht die Änderung bei 528 K vor sich. Mögliche Deutungen der Temperaturhysterese werden gegeben.

Résumé On a étudié le comportement thermique de K₂Cr₂O₇ par thermosonimétrie, ATD, diffraction des rayons X à haute température et microscopie avec platina chauffante. Une transformation rapide de la phase triclinique à la phase monoclinique a lieu à 543 K et est lentement réversible à 508 K. Un fractionnement important des cristallites est associé à la transition inverse et se manifeste par des intensités anormales des raies de diffraction X, ce qui a été préalablement interprété comme la formation d'une phase métastable. Lors d'un nouvel échauffement, la transformation a lieu à 528 K. Diverses interprétations possibles de l'hystérèse de température sont proposées.

Theory of differential thermal analysis taking into account heat exchange between the specimen and reference cells

A basic formula of differential thermal analysis is evolved for the case when the heat transfer coefficient between the specimen cell and the reference cell is not zero. The more general formula obtained differs from the classical formula by including the parameters of the reference cell and the heat transfer coefficient between the cells. It indicates that utilization of the classical formula is not correct if heat exchange occurs between the cells. To utilize the generalized formula, additional measurements of the temperature changes of the reference material are required. However, if the time constants of the two cells are identical, the formula can be changed to assume the form of the classical formula for DTA if a correction factor is introduced which takes into account the effect of heat exchange between the cells.

Zusammenfassung Für den Fall, dass der Übertragungskoeffizient zwischen der Proben- und der Referenzzelle nicht Zero ist, wurde eine Grundformel der Differentialthermoanalyse entwickelt. Die entstandene Formel, die vielmehr allgemein ist, weicht von der klassischen dadurch ab, dass sie auch die Parameter der Referenzzelle, und den Wärmeübertragungskoeffizient zwischen den Zellen enthält. Sie deutet darauf hin, dass die Anwendung der klassischen Formel in dem Fall nicht einwandfrei ist, wenn ein Wärmeaustausch zwischen den Zellen zustande kommt. Zur Anwendung der verallgemeinerten Formel sind weitere Messungen des Temperaturaustausches vom Referenzmaterial erforderlich. Sind aber die Zeitkonstanten der zwei Zellen identisch, kann die Formel so geändert werden, dass sie die Gestalt der klassischen DTA-Formel annimt, wenn ein, mit der Wirkung des Wärmeaustausches zwischen den Zellen rechnender Korrektionsfaktor eingeführt wird.

Chiral resolution of aminoalcohols by ion-pair chromatography

Summary Chiral resolution of aminoalcohols is performed by ionpair chromatography using (+)-10-camphorsulphonic acid in methylene chloride + 1-pentanol (1991) as mobile phase and LiChrosorb DIOL as adsorbing stationary phase. Change of the properties of the solid phase and the nonpolar solvent affects the retention and the separation efficiency but has no significant influence on the chiral selectivity. Studies of the structural requirements for the stereoselective separation have shown that a simultaneous electrostatic and hydrogen bonding between the two enantiomeric ions is of fundamental importance. Studies of equilibrium processes in the mobile phase indicate that the aminoalcohols are retained as ion pairs.Presented at the 14th International Symposium on Chromatography London, September, 1982     

Kinetics of perborate oxidation of quinol

The perborate oxidation of quinol in aqueous acetic acid is first order with respect to perborate, zero order with respect to quinol, and first order with respect to H⁺. The oxidation is faster than H₂O₂ oxidation. Breakdown of protonated perboric acid is suggested as the rate-limiting step.

Apport de l'analyse thermique differentielle quantitative a l'etude du polymorphisme du nitrate de potassium a la pression atmospherique

Résumé Application de l'ATD quantitative à l'étude des transformations structurales du nitrate de potassium. Les échantillons (1 à 8 mg) sont chauffés et refroidis dans l'azote sec, à la pression atmosphérique. Au refroidissement, on observe toujours les transitions successives I III II. Le pic exothermique correspondant à I III apparaît dans un intervalle de température très reproductible (118 – 120°). Les mesures de surface confirment la parfaite réversibilité de I III déjà signalée par C. Mazières. Les transitions III I et II I ont lieu pratiquement à la même température (127–130°) mais l'aire du pic endothermique correspondant à III I est plus faible et représente 51.5 % de la valeur observée pour II I. En prenantH=13.2 cal/g comme valeur de référence pour la transition II I, on trouveH=6.8± 0.2 cal/g pour III I. La transformation III II suit un processus en deux étapes, fortement influencé par le traitement thermique antérieur de la phase I.

The changes in the structure of potassium nitrate have been studied by differential thermal analysis. The samples were heated and cooled in a stream of dry nitrogen, at atmospheric pressure. On cooling, the following transformations have been observed: I III II. The exothermic peak corresponding to the I III transformation appeared at 118–120° with good reproducibility. Surface area measurements show the complete reversibility already observed by Mazières for the I III transformation. The III I and the II I processes take place at the same temperature (127–130°), but the peak corresponding to the III I change is of lower intensity, representing only 51.5% of that of the peak belonging to the II I transition. If the enthalpy change belonging to process II I,H=13.2 cal/g, that belonging to transition III I,H=6.8±0.2 cal/g. Transformation III II proceeds in two steps and is greatly influenced by the preceding heat treatment of phase I.

Zusammenfassung Quantitative Differentialthermoanalyse wurde zur Untersuchung der strukturellen Umwandlungen von Kaliumnitrat herangezogen. Die Proben (1–8 mg) wurden in trockenem Stickstoff bei atmosphärischem Druck erhitzt und abgekühlt. Beim Abkühlen lassen sich immer die sukzessiven Umwandlungen I III II beobachten. Die dem Übergang I III entsprechende exothermische Spitze erscheint sehr reproduzierbar bei 118–120°. Die Oberflächenmessungen bezeugen die vollständige Reversibilität von I III, schon früher angegeben von Mazières. Die Übergänge III I und II I erfolgen praktisch bei gleicher Temperatur (127–130°), doch die endothermische Spitze von III I ist schwächer und entspricht nur 51.5% des für II I beobachteten Wertes.H=13.2 cal/g als Referenzwert für Übergang II I genommen, ergibt sichH=6.8±0.2 cal/g für III I. III II Übergang verläuft in zwei Schritten, die durch das thermische Vorleben der Phase I stark beeinflußt sind.

The application of thermoanalytical methods in the investigation of biological substances

The equilibria and thermodynamics of a number of naturally occuring isolated compounds (e.g. proteins, amino acids, carbohydrates) have recently been studied in several laboraties in different temperature ranges, and thermoanalytical methods have been used to study structural changes of biological materials, among them human tissues.In our investigations we succeeded in appling the derivatograph for the assay of glycosaminoglycans and for the characterization of the stability of crosslinked proteins in intact human and animal tissues. By means of this method age-related and pathological changes and repair reactions were studied in various connective and vascular tissues.Other temperature-dependent techniques (DSC, polarizing microscopy) were used successfully in another series of experiments. Alterations in the characteristic order-disorder transition temperatures of human serum lipoproteins could be demonstrated in pathological conditions; the altered physical structure of lipoproteins might give an additional explanation to the assumed mechanism of different metabolic disorders.

Use of Unmodified and Aminated β-Cyclodextrins for the Separation of Enantiomers of Amino Acid Derivatives by High-Performance Liquid Chromatography

The separation of enantiomers of amino acid derivatives with modifiers of different structures on -cyclodextrin and aminated -cyclodextrin by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography was studied. The dependence of the capacity factors of adsorbates on the concentration of the organic component in the mobile phase was examined. It was found that the retention of amino acid derivatives on unmodified -cyclodextrin and aminated -cyclodextrin increases with the hydrophobicity of the modifying agent of amino acid. In addition, for aminated -cyclodextrin, electrostatic interactions of ionized adsorbates and protonated surface amino groups substantially contribute to the retention. It was demonstrated that the recognition ability of aminated -cyclodextrin is affected by the structure of amino acid and its degree of dissociation.     

Estimation of nonlinear relaxation of catalytic reactions

Nonlinear relaxation time has been considered as a differential characteristic determined by the reciprocal value of the relative decrease in the deviation rate of the current concentration vector of intermediates from that of their steady-state concentrations. This characteristic is used for the analysis of some model reactions.

Determination of metoprolol in human plasma by column switching high-performance liquid chromatography

Summary Retention characteristics of metoprolol have been studied in reversed phase mode on RP2, RP8 and CN columns. The plots of retention time as a function of the acetonitrile content and of the ionic strength of the mobile phase permitted the choice of the best conditions to separate metoprolol from plasma components by switching of these three types of columns.Human plasma (0.5–1 ml) diluted with water is first injected on a RP2 column (25–40 m particle diameter, prepared by dry packing) and rinsed with water. The sample is then back eluted with acetonitrile-0.022 M acetate buffer (7525, v:v) and switched to a CN column (10 cm long, 5 m particle diameter). The heart cut of the eluate is selected and loaded on a RP8 analytical column (25 cm long, 5 m particle diameter) with acetonitrile-0.088 M acetate buffer (7525, v:v) as mobile phase.Auto-sampler and switching valves are actuated automatically by a computing integrator based on a fixed time schedule. The duration of one cycle is about 30 min, but the last analytical step is about 15 min and represents the time interval between two injections. Metoprolol, its alpha-hydroxy metabolite and the internal standard are detected by fluorescence (_ex= 225 nm; _em > 320 nm).Presented at the 14th International Symposium on Chromatography London, September, 1982

A quantum chemical study of the influence of an electrostatic field on the reactivity of methanol over zeolites

The INDO method with an electrostatic potential term in its Hamiltonian has been used to estimate the changes in the electronic structure of methanol and methanol dimer due to the electrostatic field of zeolites. It has been shown that fields of the strength F=2–8×10¹⁰V/m change significantly the electronic structure as well as the geometry of both molecules and can cause their decomposition leading to the species H₂O, CH₃, CH₃O, CH₂O, and CH₂.
