Correlation of the RM-values of some heterocyclic bases,naphthols, naphthylamines and nitroanilines in adsorption and partition chromatography

Summary The correlation between the R_M-values measured in both adsorption and partition chromatography have been investigated for a number of substances such as heterocyclic bases, naphthols, naphthylamines, and isomeric nitroanilines. Aluminium oxide G, silica gel G, and magnesium silicate were used as the adsorbent and formamide, ethylene glycol, and a pH=2.4 buffer as the liquid stationary phase. Eleven solvents served as the mobile phase. It was found that for all compounds investigated the function is represented by a linear relationship corresponding to the equation . The constants a and b are characteristic for a compound in a given system of stationary phases (adsorbent and partitioning liquid). The values of constant a in a given system for a group of compounds are close to each other and the differences are due to differences in the structure of the molecules. Changes in the values of b when changing the adsorbent or the partitioning liquid can be used under certain conditions to characterize the molecular interaction between the sample and the stationary phases. It follows from these investigations that the linear correlation between the R_M-values measured in liquid adsorption and partition chromatography provides new possibilities in analysis as well as in physicochemical investigations.     

Thermische Umlagerung von Acetoxy-cyclohexadienonen, 2. Mitt.

Zusammenfassung Es wird die Frage untersucht, ob bei der thermischen Umlagerung von entsprechend allyl-substituierten o-Benzochinol-acetaten der Allyl- oder der Acetoxylrest rascher wandert. Das 2-Allyl-2-acetoxy-cyclohexadienon liefert bei der genannten Reaktion (es sind schon Temperaturen um 100° ausreichend) überwiegend ein Monoacetat des 4-Allylbrenzcatechins. Damit ist bewiesen, daß der Rest rascher als der Rest in die p-Stellung zur Carbonylgruppe des Chinolacetates wandert. Eine Wanderung des Acetoxylrestes in die o- oder in die p-Stellung zur Carbonylgruppe, welche zur Bildung von 3-Allyl-brenzcatechin bzw. 2-Allylhydrochinon führen müßte, konnte nicht beobachtet werden. Entsprechend liefert das 2,6-Diallyl-2-acetoxy-cyclohexadienon bei der thermischen Umlagerung überwiegend ein Monoacetat des 3,5-Diallyl-brenzcatechins. Nach einem anderen Mechanismus verläuft die Umlagerung des 2-Methyl-6-allyl-2-acetoxy-cyclohexadienons. Es entsteht neben wenig 2-Methyl-6-allyl-hydrochinon in der Hauptmenge ein Monoacetat des 3-Methyl-5-allyl-brenzcatechins. Es wird also die Allylgruppe durch den in die o-Stellung wandernden Acetoxylrest verdrängt. Auf diese Reaktion wird näher eingegangen, weil sie in engem Zusammenhang mit der Frage steht, ob ganz allgemein eine Umlagerung von o-Chinolacetaten vom Typ in die Isomeren möglich ist.Mit 2 AbbildungenHerrn Prof. Dr.F.

Extraction of zirconium(IV) from HCl solutions by mixtures of Aliquat-336 and Alamine-336 with TBP

Synergism has been observed in the extraction of zirconium(IV) by mixtures of Aliquat 336 or Alamine 336 with a neutral donor TBP from aq. HCl solutions. Although the extractant dependency for Zr(IV) is found to be nearly second power with respect to TBP alone, monosolvate is found to be formed for extraction by its mixture with Aliquat 336 or Almine 336. Quantitative extraction is observed with mixtures at a lower acidity than that with individual extractants. The species formed is tentatively assigned to be Q₂ZrCl₆. TBP, where for Aliquat 336 and for Alamine 336.

Effect of the conditions of preparation on the properties of a cellulose exchanger containing salicylic acid as a functional group

The preparation of a cellulose derivative containing salicylic acid as functional group was varied in order to find optimal conditions with respect to fast exchange as well as high capacity. Two kinds of cellulose (cross-linked and microcrystalline) and different reaction times were used. The properties of the products were investigated by titration curves to determine the capacity and by measuring the non-isotopic exchange and the isotopic exchange as a function of time. Microcrystalline cellulose and a reaction time of 15 min gave optimal results.

Deficiencies of the ferricinium-ferrocene redox couple for estimating transfer energies of single ions

The difference between the partial molal entropies of ferrocene and ferricinium has been determined in nine solvents from the temperature dependence of the formal potential of the ferricinium-ferrocene redox couple using a nonisothermal electrochemical cell arrangement in order to probe possible structural reasons for the limitations of the ferrocene assumption for estimating the transfer thermodynamics of single ions between different solvents. In contrast to the uniformly small positive values of predicted by the Born model, the experimental quantities varied widely from small or even negative values in hydrogen-bonded solvents (–5 to 3 e.u.) to substantially larger values (11–14 e.u.) in dipolar aprotic media. These variations appear to arise chiefly from additional solvent ordering in the vicinity of the ferricinium cation compared to the ferrocene molecule which is enhanced in the aprotic solvents. The variations in between water and a number of nonaqueous solvents provide a predominate contribution to the differences between the free energies of single ion transfer calculated using the ferrocene and alternative extrathermodynamic assumptions.

Surface Fluorination of Carboxylated Nitrile Butadiene Rubber: An XPS Study

Because of their exceptional reactivity, fluorine and fluorinated gases are of primary importance for the modification of the surface properties of materials. This study is devoted to surface treatment of thin nitrile gloves, made of carboxylated nitrile butadiene rubber latex, using either direct fluorination (10% F₂gas diluted in N₂) or plasma-enhanced fluorination in radio-frequency cold plasmas using fluorinated gases (CF₄, CHF₃). Mechanisms of fluorination of these co-elastomers have been proposed on the basis of the assignment of the different components of the XPS spectra. Several mechanisms have been observed depending on the fluorination conditions. Although the modification of nitrile gloves is already effective for fluorination reactions at room temperature, an important activation is observed for experiments carried out at 90°C. When the treatments are carried out at room temperature, a gradual fluorination occurs: in the case of 10% diluted F₂ gas, monofluorinated C—F groups are the species most found at the surface and perfluoro groups CF _n are present in lower amount. An addition reaction takes place at the CH=CH double bonds of the polybutadiene entities, leading to CHF=CHF units. Whatever the fluorination method, thermal activation yields a more massive fluorination of the surface that finally leads to perfluorinated CF₂ groups and terminal —CF₃ groups.

The potential functions of internal rotation around the C -S bond in the C₆H₅S(O)CH₃ and C₆H₅S(O)CF₃ molecules were obtained by ab initio MP2(full)/6-31+G* calculations. The stationary points were identified by solving the vibrational problems. The structures in which the plane of the C -S-C bonds is approximately perpendicular to the benzene ring plane correspond to the energy minimum. The barriers to rotation around the C -S bond, corrected for the zero-point vibration energy, are 21.29 [C₆H₅S(O)CH₃] and 28.98 [C₆H₅S(O)CF₃] kJ mol⁻¹. The bond angles (deg) are as follows: 95.7 (CSC), 107.1 (C SO), 106.3 (C SO) in C₆H₅S(O)CH₃; 93.5 (CSC), 108.2 (C SO), 105.2 (C SO) in C₆H₅S(O)CF₃. The bond lengths are as follows (Å): 1.520 (S=O), 1.804 (C -S), 1.810 (C -S) in C₆H₅S(O)CH₃; 1.507 (S=O), 1.799 (C -S), 1.870 (C -S) in C₆H₅S(O)CF₃. According to the results of NBO calculations, the formally double S=O bond consists of a strongly polarized covalent σ bond (S→O) and an almost ionic bond. An increase in the S=O bond multiplicity relative to a single bond is mainly due to hyperconjugation by the mechanism n(O)→σ*(C -S) and n(O)→σ*(C -S) and, to a lesser extent, by interaction of the oxygen lone electron pairs with the Rydberg orbitals of the S atoms, characterized by a large contribution of the d component.__________Translated from Zhurnal Obshchei Khimii, Vol. 75, No. 1, 2005, pp. 96–104.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Bzhezovskii, Il’chenko, Chura, Gorb, Yagupol’skii.

Determination of the relative signs of the spin-spin interaction constants in some N15-substituted organonitrogen compounds

Conclusions The determination of the absolute values and signs of the SSIC has great value both for investigating the electronic structure of organonitrogen compounds and for verifying and developing the theory of spin-spin interaction. It has been recently disclosed [8–10] that the magnitudes of the direct, geminal, and vicinal SSIC depend on the dielectric constant of the solvent on its protonation. In addition, the sign of the geminal SSIC in oximes depends on the configuration of the latter [8, 9].The signs of the SSIC that we determined agree with those found earlier for some organonitrogen compounds [6, 8, 11–15] and add to those mentioned above the instance when one of the protons, which is directly bonded to the nitrogen, froms an intramolecular hydrogen bond. It is interesting that the geminal SSIC in compound II is zero. This agrees with the fact that the geminal SSIC changes sign upon passing through zero. At the same time, the vicinal SSIC J_H-H differs from zero and is larger than the geminal SSIC J_H-H in compound I.N. D. Zelinskii Institute of Organic Chemistry, Academy of Sciences of the USSR.

Effect of solvent on the partial molal volumes and heat capacities of nonelectrolytes

Group contributions to in seven solvents and to in three solvents have been tabulated. The variation of group parameters is discussed in terms of the solvent compressibility coefficient, _T. The scaled particle theory (SPT) is used to calculate cavity contributions to and C _p2 ^o . Interaction contributions are obtained from the cavity terms and and values estimated through the additivity schemes. values are more sensitive to solute-solvent interactions than in water and less sensitive in methanol. The SPT results for heat capacities support the concept of structural promotion by hydrophobic solutes in water.     

Conduction and Transport Numbers in Metacomposites MeWO<Subscript>4</Subscript> ⋅ WO<Subscript>3</Subscript> (Me = Ca,Sr, Ba)

The conduction and transport numbers of charge carriers for composites in the systems MeWO₄-WO₃ (Me = Ca, Sr, Ba) are studied as a function of the temperature and the activity of oxygen in a gas phase. The transport numbers are determined by an emf method and are estimated from dependences of conductance on the activity of oxygen in a gas phase. The deficiencies of the given procedure as applied to investigation of properties of composite phases are analyzed. The materials under study are classified with a class of metacomposites. The concentration intervals of the ionic, mixed, and electronic conductions are determined. The conduction of composites of compositions (100 − x)MeWO₄ ⋅ xWO₃ is predominantly ionic at x ≤ 10 (Me = Ca), x ≤ 60 (Me = Sr), and x ≤ 45 (Me = Ba). The obtained data are explained in the framework of a model that represents a composite as a distributed matrix system where a film of surface phase MeW-s with a high mobility of oxygen ions plays the role of a connected matrix. It is presumed that the surface phase MeW-s possesses double-sided surface activity (α _MeW-s ≤ ) and a higher mobility with respect to MeWO₄ and WO₃. The discovered anomalies of dependences (T) and partial dependences , σ_el(T) are explained by a change in the stoichiometry, morphology, and the degree of connectedness of surface phase MeW-s caused by with a change in the temperature and composition of composites.__________Translated from Elektrokhimiya, Vol. 41, No. 6, 2005, pp. 680–693.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Neiman, Pestereva, Sharafutdinov, Kostikov.Published on the basis of a report delivered at the VII Meeting on Fundamental Problems in Solid-State Ionics (Chernogolovka-2004).     

Kinetics and mechanism of the oxidation of hydrogen peroxide by the octacyanotungstate(V) ion in alkaline aqueous media

Summary The oxidation of H₂O₂ by [W(CN)₈]^3– has been studied in aqueous media between pH 7.87 and 12.10 using both conventional and stopped-flow spectrophotometry. The reaction proceeds without generation of free radicals. The experimental overall rate law, , strongly suggests two types of mechanisms. The first pathway, characterized by the pH-dependent rate constant k _s, given by , involves the formation of [W(CN)₈· H₂O₂]^3–, [W(CN)₈· H₂O₂·W(CN)₈]^6– and [W(CN)₈· HO]^3– intermediates in rapid pre-equilibria steps, and is followed by a one-electron transfer step involving [W(CN)₈·HO]^3– (k _a) and its conjugate base [W(CN)₈·O]^4– (k _b). At 25 °C, I = 0.20 m (NaCl), the rate constant with H _a =40±6kJmol^–1 and S _a =–151±22JK^–1mol^–1; the rate constant with H _b =36±1kJmol^–1 and S _b =–136±2JK^–1mol^–1 at 25 °C, I = 0.20 m (NaCl); the acid dissociation constant of [W(CN)₈·HO]^3–, K ₅ =(5.9±1.7)×10^–10 m, with and is the first acid dissociation constant of H₂O₂. The second pathway, with rate constant, k _f, involves the formation of [W(CN)₈· HO₂]^4– and is followed by a formal two-electron redox process with [W(CN)₈]^3–. The pH-dependent rate constant, k _f, is given by . The rate constant k ₇ =23±6m ^–1 s ^–1 with and at 25°C, I = 0.20 m (NaCl).

Dissociation Constants of Protonated Cysteine Species in NaCl Media

The sulfur-containing biomolecule, cysteine has a role in physiological and natural environment because of its strong interactions with metals. To understand these interactions of metals with cysteine, one needs reliable dissociation constants for the protonated cysteine species [ CH(CH₂SH)COOH; H₃B⁺]. The values of dissociated constants, p , for protonated cysteine species (H₃B⁺ H⁺ + H₂B, K ₁; H₂B H⁺ + HB^–,K ₂; HB^– H⁺ + B^2–,K ₃) were determined from potentiometric measurements in NaCl solutions as a function of ionic strength, 0.5–6.0 mol-(kgH₂O)^–1 and between 5, and 45°C.
