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. The equations

Mass transfer in shell-core inorganic TIP1 ion exchanger

The ion exchange processes of (OAc^–) and (OAc^–) proceeding in shell-core inorganic ion exchanger Ti (HPO₄)₂·1/2H₂O has been studied and the diffusion equation whose boundary conditions are satisfied by a shell-core model was solved. Based on the equation solved and experimental data, the diffusion coefficients corresponding to the exchange process (OAc^–) and Li⁺–H⁺ (OAc^–) at 17°C are found to be 7.7×10^–9 and 6.2×10^–8 cm² s^–1 and the activation energies 3.4×10⁴ and 5.0×10³ J mol^–1, respectively. Compared to the gel type of styrene-divinylbenzene strong acid exchanger with 20% cross linking, it can be concluded that the rate of or exchange is 3.5 times faster than that in the organic exchanger.TIP was obtained from the Salt Lake Institute of the Academy of Science of China.

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.

     

Oscillatory variation in yields of I2 and the reactivity of γ-irradiated TiO2 in KI solution

The reactivity of preheated and -irradiated TiO₂ was observed in KI solution by studying the kinetics of liberation of I₂. The rate of the reaction was found to be low. species proposed on the surface of oxide probably dissociate into . surface sites which oxidize I^– ions to produce free I₂. During irradiation and are produced which are reducing in nature and therefore very low yields of I₂ are observed for low -doses. In further irradiation the reformation of –O–O–, peroxy linkages is proposed hence the observed higher yields. All the processes ultimately lead to an oscillatory variation in yields of I₂ with -doses.     

Synthesis and CH-acidity of N,N-disubstituted aminotriphenylphosphonium salts

Several substituted methylaminotriphenylphosphonium salts (APS) of general formula have been synthesized. The CH-acidities of some of the prepared APS have been measured by the indicator method in DMSO, with K⁺ counterion and 9-phenylfluorene (pK 18.5) as standard, showing a pK range of 14.7–24.8. The acidification effect of and groups has been evaluated. The results obtained suggest that there is an effective charge on the nitrogen atom in the APS studied and an increased multiplicity of the N-P bond.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 7, pp. 1598–1604, July, 1991.

Studies on ion exchange equilibria and kinetics

¹⁶⁰Tb was used as radiotracer and the equilibria and kinetics of cation exchange with zeolite-Y were studied. The ion exchange isothems and the Kielland plots at 298 and 303 K were obtained. It was found that the ion exchange rate is controlled by particle diffusion. The integral interdiffusion coefficients for the direct and reverse exchanges at 298 K and 303 K were calculated. In addition, the isotopic ion exchange was studied too.     

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.     

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).     

First and second thermodynamic mixing functions of ethylbenzene+n-nonane, +n-decane,and+n-dodecane at 25 and 45°C

Isothermal compressibilities _T and isobaric thermal expansion coefficients _p have been determined for mixtures of ethylbenzene+n-nonane, +n-decane, and +n-dodecane at 25 and 45°C in the whole range of composition. The excess functions and have been obtained at each measured mole fraction. The first one is zero for ethylbenzene +n-nonane, positive for ethylbenzene +n-decane, and +n-dodecane and increases with chain length n of the n-alkane. The function is positive for the three studied systems and nearly constant with n. Both mixing functions increase slightly with temperature. From this measurement and supplementary literature data of molar heat capacities at constant pressure C _P , the isentropic compressibilities _S, the molar heat capacities at constant volume C _V and the corresponding mixing functions have been calculated at 25°C. Furthermore, the pressure dependence of excess enthalpy H ^B , at zero pressure and at 25°C has been obtained from our experimental results of and experimental literature values for excess volume V ^E .

The sorption of uranyl ions on silica-titania mixed-hydroxide gels

SiO₂–TiO₂ mixed hydroxide gels were prepared and the apparent adsorption capacity for Na⁺ (1.30–1.60 mmol/g dry sample) determined by pH titration. The effect of solution pH on the sorption ability of the binary gels was studied. It is found that: (1) the sorption mechanism depends upon the pH, and the two most important factors are the nature of both counter ions in bulk solution and the surface of silica-titania gels, (2) the best pH range for the sorption of uranyl ions is 4–7. The thermodynamic functions were evaluated, suggesting that the reaction is chiefly attributed to physical adsorption rather than chemical one, and the opposite is the case of the reaction.     

Nonisothermal membrane phenomena across perfluorosulfonic acid-type membranes,Flemion S: Part II. Thermal membrane potential and transported entropy of ions

Thermal membrane potentials across the perfluorosulfonic acid-type membrane, Flemion S, were measured for HCl, alkali metal chlorides, and ammonium and methyl ammonium chlorides. The difference between the mean molar transported entropy of the counterions in the membrane and the partial molar entropy of the counterions in the external solution was determined from the experimental data on thermal membrane potential, thermoosmosis and electroosmosis. The sign of the thermal membrane potential in HCl solution varies from positive to negative with the concentration. In HCl and alkali metal chloride solutions, the order of their thermal membrane potentials (–/T) is H⁺>Li⁺=Na⁺>K⁺ which is roughly the inverse of that of the crystallographic radii of the ions. However, the order of their entropy differences is H⁺>Na⁺>K⁺>Li⁺ which is just the inverse of that of their thermoosmotic coefficients (D) or the entropy difference of water in thermoosmosis. For the ammonium and methyl ammonium ion forms, the orders of both –/T and increase with an increasing number of methyl groups: (CH₃)₄N⁺>(CH₃)₃NH⁺>(CH₃)₂NH ₂ ⁺ > CH₃NH ₃ ⁺ >NH ₄ ⁺ , which is also the inverse of that ofD or .     

Catalytic Mechanism of the “Noncatalytic” Autooxidation of Sulfite

Iron ions are shown to play a special role among transition metal ions in the oxidation of sulfite by oxygen. The thermodynamically favorable formation of chain carriers S : FeOH²⁺+ HSO₃ ^– Fe²⁺+ H₂O + , H _{r 298} ⁰ –250 kJ/mol accompanied by the regeneration of the active Fe(III) form in the reactions of Fe(II) with and HSO₅ ^–provides the efficient catalytic mechanism for sulfite consumption even at [Fe]₀ 10^–8mol/l. Any aqueous solution contains iron ions in this amounts. Thus, the noncatalytic oxidation of sulfite is in fact the catalytic reaction involving unavoidable microadmixtures of iron ions. Other transition metal ions (Mn²⁺, Co²⁺, etc.) can only enhance the catalytic effect of iron admixture.     

Equilibrium study of ternary complexes involving heteroaromaticN-bases and acetohydroxamic acid

Summary Stability constants (K _MAL ^MA ) and other thermodynamic parameters, including statistical factors relating to the ternary complexes (MAL) [M=Co^II, Ni^II, Cu^II or Zn^II; A=2, 2-dipyridylamine (A³), 5-nitro-o-phenanthroline (A⁵), 5-methyl-o-phenanthroline (A⁶); LH=acetohydroxamic acid] have been determined at 25° C, at ionic strength 0.1 M KNO₃. The results are compared with data on aminopolycarboxylic acids, such as iminodiacetic acid (A¹), and other unsubstituted heteroaromaticN-bases:e.g. 2, 2-bipyridine (A²),o-phenanthroline (A⁴). The resulting stability sequence is: , and for heteroaromaticN-bases: . The results have been explained in the light of electrostatic interactions, -acidities of the primary ligands (A) andcistrans equilibria for MAL.     

Electrochemical study of some bromo-substituted [2.2]paracyclophanes

The potentials of electrochemical oxidation ( ) and reduction ( ) of monobromo- and isomeric di- and tribromo[2.2]paracyclophanes as well as of mono-, di-, and tribromobenzenes were measured in acetonitrile. The similarity between the properties ofpseudo-para-disubstituted cyclophanes andmeta-disubstituted benzenes, on the one hand, andpseudo-meta-disubstituted cyclophanes andpara-disubstituted benzenes, on the other hand, was confirmed by the existence of a linear relationship between of bromo-substituted [2.2]paracyclophanes and of the corresponding bromo-substituted benzenes. The results were explained in terms of the qualitative theory of molecular orbitals, taking into account a through space interaction between the -systems of the benzene rings.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Reaction graphs and a construction of reaction networks

Summary A general definition of reaction graphs is presented. For a pair of isomeric molecular graphs and , related by a chemical transformation , the reaction graph is determined using a maximal common subgraph defined for vertex mapping . A binary operation defined for graphs constructed over the same vertex set enables us to decompose the reaction graph into the sum of prototype reaction graphs. A decomposition of an overall reaction graph can be advantageously used for the construction of a reaction network. An oriented path in this network beginning at and ending at corresponds to a breakdown of the transformation into a sequence of intermediates.     

Effect of charge on the standard partial molar volumes and heat capacities of organic electrolytes in methanol and water

Previously developed additivity schemes for nonelectrolytes have been used to estimate and for tetraalkyl and tetraphenyl methanes in methanol and water. Corrections have been applied to the thermodynamic values of these model compounds to account for a variation in size of the central atom, and these were used to ascertain the effect of charge on and of alkyl and phenyl quaternary ions having N, P and B as central atoms. Investigations of R₄NBr, (R=methyl to heptyl) salts show that the charge effect on and of R₄N⁺ ions is large and relatively independent of ion size suggesting that the solvent molecules penetrate the ions. The ability to estimate and of the quaternary ions in the bromide salt solutions has made it possible to make ionic assignments with some confidence; (Br^–) has been evaluated as 19.7±2 and 30.2±7 cm³-mol^–1 and (Br^–) as –83±7 and –68±30 J-K^–1-mol^–1 in methanol and water, respectively. The use of organic ions for making ionic assignments of and is critically examined and comparisons with other assignments are made. The scaled particle theory is employed to divide the heat capacities of electrolytes into cavity and interaction contributions.
