1H NMR isotope shifts arising from the substitution of 12C by 13C: application to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon anions

Isotope shifts are a well-established tool for structural analysis by NMR. The substitution of a protium with a deuterium is the most widely studied of these effects. However, such studies call for specific deuteration that requires complex synthetic techniques owing to the low natural abundance of deuterium. ¹³C occurs at a higher natural abundance and couples strongly with its attached proton. We have developed and refined a method to reliably observe these much smaller shifts without needing to resort to chemical synthesis. We show that carbon induced isotope shifts reflect structural features. Copyright © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Computational Studies on the Structures of Nanographenes with Various Edge Functionalities

Computational studies have often been carried out on hydrogen-terminated nanographenes (NGs). These structures are, however, far from those deduced from experimental observations, which have suggested armchair edges with two carboxy groups on the edges as dominant. We conducted computational studies on NGs consisting of C₄₂, C₆₀, C₇₈, C₉₆, C₁₄₂, and C₁₇₄ carbon atoms with hydrogen, carboxy, and N-methyl imide-terminated armchair edges. DFT calculations inform distorted basal planes and similar HOMO-LUMO gaps, indicating that the edge oxidation and functionalization do not very influence the electronic structure. Comparison of observed UV-vis spectra of carboxy- and N-octadecyl chain terminated NGs with calculated spectra of model NGs informs the contribution of π-π* transitions on the basal plane to the absorptions in the visible region. A dimeric structure of NG and octadecyl-installed NG demonstrate that both the distorted basal planes and the steric contacts among the functional groups widen the surface-to-surface distance thereby allowing the invasion of solvent molecules between the surfaces. This picture is consistent with the improved solubility of edge-modified NGs.     

Optimisation of pre-treatment and ionisation for GC/MS analysis for the determination of chlorinated PAHs in atmospheric particulate samples

Chlorinated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (ClPAHs) have been discovered to represent ubiquitous environmental pollutants in the last decade. In the present study, sample pre-treatment and ionisation conditions associated with the gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) analysis of ClPAHs were evaluated. The optimal pre-treatment of ambient air particulate samples was achieved using fractionation over silica gel with 10% dichloromethane in n-hexane as the eluent. The optimised condition of GC/MS with electron impact ionisation permitted analysis of all target ClPAHs. Not all target ClPAHs were detected using GC/MS with negative chemical ionisation, although this technique exhibited greater sensitivity for several of the compounds compared to electron impact ionisation. The analytical method was applied to the survey of ClPAHs in atmospheric particulate matter obtained close to an industrial site and in a standard sample of tunnel dust. Fourteen and eighteen species of ClPAHs were detected in the industrial air samples and tunnel dust, respectively, confirming the capability of the method. The compositions of ClPAHs were significantly different between air samples and tunnel dust. It suggests that alternative emission sources rather than vehicle exhaust could play a significant role in the air.     

The Chemical Shift Baseline for High‐Pressure NMR Spectra of Proteins

High‐pressure (HP) NMR spectroscopy is an important method for detecting rare functional states of proteins by analyzing the pressure response of chemical shifts. However, for the analysis of the shifts it is mandatory to understand the origin of the observed pressure dependence. Here we present experimental HP NMR data on the ¹⁵N‐enriched peptide bond model, N‐methylacetamide (NMA), in water, combined with quantum‐chemical computations of the magnetic parameters using a pressure‐sensitive solvation model. Theoretical analysis of NMA and the experimentally used internal reference standard 4,4‐dimethyl‐4‐silapentane‐1‐sulfonic (DSS) reveal that a substantial part of observed shifts can be attributed to purely solvent‐induced electronic polarization of the backbone. DSS is only marginally responsive to pressure changes and is therefore a reliable sensor for variations in the local magnetic field caused by pressure‐induced changes of the magnetic susceptibility of the solvent.

Paramagnetic Lanthanide NMR Probes Signalling Changes in Zinc Concentration by Emission and Chemical Shift: A Proof of Concept Study

A zinc-selective probe based on a set of rare earth complexes of a modified DO3A macrocyclic ligand incorporating a tris-pyridylamine (TPA) moiety has been structurally characterised in solution and in the solid-state. One pyridine group possesses a tert-butyl substituent to serve as an NMR reporter group. The mono-capped square-antiprismatic Dy complex has a long bond (2.83 Å) to an apical N atom (pK_a 5.70 Eu) and binds to one water molecule on zinc binding. Zinc binding is reversible and involves all of the exocyclic ligand N donors; it is signalled by large (ratiometric) changes in Eu emission intensity, and by dramatic changes in the size (>50 ppm) and sign of the chemical shift of the paramagnetically shifted tBu resonances in Tb, Dy and Tm complexes. Slow trans-metallation was observed, leading to formation of an unusual di-zinc species in which one zinc ion is seven-coordinate and the other is six-coordinate.

Determination of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Biodiesel Exhaust from Jatropha curcas and Chlorella variabilis by Gas Chromatography with Flame Ionization Detection

Biodiesel serves as a promising alternative to the conventional petroleum fuels and is considered to be a renewable source of energy which can be used in compression-ignition engines with minimum or no modifications. Two biodiesels derived from Jatropha curcas seeds and marine microalga Chlorella variabilis were substituted for petrodiesel and 16 priority polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (United States Environmental Protection Agency) were targeted for quantification through gas chromatography equipped with a flame ionization detector. For comparison, petrodiesel was selected as a control, and the analyte concentrations were calculated through calibration curves with correlation coefficient ranging from 0.9909 to 0.9999. The analytical figures of merit were determined for each analyte. The relative standard deviations for intra-day repeatability and inter-day reproducibility were in the range of 4.47–8.75%. The results indicated a significant decrease of around 77 and 68% in the overall polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon concentrations in the particulate matter originating from J. curcas and microalga C. variabilis biodiesel, respectively. This study is perceived as an important step toward describing the green emission behavior of these biodiesels and their merits compared to the conventional petroleum-based fuels.     

Source Apportionment Research of Fine Particulate Matter in the Atmosphere by PAHs

Haze weather frequently occurs in many cities in China. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons(PAHs) in fine particulate matter(PM_2.5) can adversely affect the environment and human health. In this paper, PM_2.5 samples were collected at nine sites in a city in northeastern China from September 2013 to October 2014. Sixteen USEPA(US Evironment Protection Agency) priority PAHs in PM_2.5 were analyzed to determine their spatial and temporal distribution characteristics. The source apportionment of PAHs was conducted with the Positive Matrix Factorization(PMF) model. The results indicate that the concentrations of total PAHs(T-PAHs) in PM_2.5 are within the range of 0.26 to 72.48 ng/m³. The seasonal variation of T-PAHs is winter >spring >autumn >summer, and the space distribution of PAHs is JZP >DP >BFH >LP >EESA >IPT >CP >HZMC >JYP. In all types of PAHs, three-ring and five-ring PAHs are significantly prominent(62%) in the heating period due to petrogenic sources and traffic emissions. Middle- and high-ring PAHs in the non-heating period are caused by coal combustion and vehicle exhaust, which accounts for 77% of the total emissions. The source apportionment results obtained by the diagnostic ratio of PAHs reflect that coal burning, traffic and other sources have a distinct influence on PAH emissions in this city. Six factors are defined by PMF v5.0, namely, coke oven emissions(7.7%), biomass burning(44.3%), petrogenic sources(10.7%), coal combustion(10.4%), gasoline engine emissions(16.7%), and diesel engine emissions(10.3%). The results indicate that the PAHs in PM_2.5 in the city are primarily caused by combustion processes and vehicle exhaust.

Complexation and extraction of PAHs to the aqueous phase with a dinuclear Pt(II) diazapyrenium-based metallacycle

New palladium and platinum metallacycles have been synthesized by reaction between a 2,7-diazapyrenium-based ligand and Pd(II) and Pt(II) complexes. The inclusion complexes between the metallacycles and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in CD(3)NO(2) and D(2)O were studied by NMR spectroscopy. The structures of the inclusion complexes of the Pt metallacycle as host with pyrene, phenanthrene, and triphenylene were confirmed by single crystal X-ray crystallography. The association constants between the Pt metallacycle and the selected PAHs were determined in CH(3)CN following the characteristic charge-transfer band displayed in their UV/Vis absorption spectrum. Although in aqueous solution all the complexes showed a 1:1 stoichiometry, in CH(3)CN the Job plot indicated a 2:1 stoichiometry for complexes with triphenylene and benzo[a]pyrene. The estimated association constants in water correlate with the hydrophobicity of the PAH, indicating that hydrophobic forces play an important role in the complexation process.
