对硝基苯酚在质子惰性溶剂中的氧化还原机理

利用现场红外光谱电化学法、红外光谱循环伏吸法(CVA)和导数循环伏吸法(DCVA)研究了对硝基苯酚(PNP)在乙腈中的氧化还原机理,并结合B3LYP方法在6-311++G*水平上计算得出反应中自由基阴离子和二聚体可能的结构.通过循环伏安曲线(CV)和快速扫描红外光谱验证了在电化学还原过程中PNP在乙腈溶剂中发生较复杂的自质子化反应,并且PNP的电化学行为受其浓度的影响.当PNP浓度较高时,PNP在还原成自由基阴离子后发生自质子化作用,然后自由基阴离子与质子化产物得到电子发生二聚反应,随后PNP阴离子还原成二价阴离子;当PNP浓度较低时,电化学还原机理会发生改变,二聚现象消失,阴离子自由基继续还原.

Comparison of microbiological and UV-spectrophotometric assays for determination of voriconazole in tablets

Two methods have been developed for the determination of voriconazole, a new antifungal drug, in tablets. A UV method, with detection at 255 nm, was compared with a diffusion agar bioassay, which used Sacharomyces cerevisiae ATCC 2601 as the assay organism. The developed methods were linear in the range of 3.0-12.0 and 12.0-24.0 microg/mL, for the microbiological and UV methods, respectively, both exhibiting a coefficient correlation of 0.9999. The UV method demonstrated an improved precision compared to the bioassay method (1.0 versus 2.4%). The average recovery, 99.8 and 100.9%, was suitable in both methods. The results obtained by these 2 methods were compared with those of a high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method published previously, and no evidence of significant difference was observed. The proposed methods are appropriate for the determination of voriconazole in tablets and can be used in routine quality control.     

On the existence of primary methods of measurement

 There is much discussion in chemical metrology about the definition of primary methods of measurement, just as a couple of years ago there was debate about its predecessors, absolute methods and definitive methods. It is argued in this paper that the designation of certain methods as being primary only makes sense if there is an outstanding property identified that is common to all primary methods, and not present for all non-primary methods. The aim to identify primary methods should not blur our notion that it is the good practice of analytical chemistry that produces good results, not a particular method of analysis.

Use of Thermoanalytical Methods in Prediction of Thermal Endurance of Insulating Impregnating Varnishes

The results of testing the thermal properties of insulating impregnated varnishes obtained by thermoanalytical methods and based on the IEC 216 standard are presented. It was found that the temperature index determined by means of thermoanalytical testing is quite close to that derived by a conventional standardized procedure. It was also established that thermoanalytical methods could be used in the recipe selection for the development of a new varnish. The results obtained confirmed the possibility of using thermoanalytical methods for a quick, prognostic estimation of the thermal endurance of insulating impregnating varnishes. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Complementary use of model-free and modelistic methods in the analysis of solid-state kinetics

There are many methods for analyzing solid-state kinetic data. They are generally grouped into two categories, model-fitting and isoconversional (model-free) methods. Historically, model-fitting methods were widely used because of their ability to directly determine the kinetic triplet (i.e., frequency factor [A], activation energy [E(a)], and model). However, these methods suffer from several problems among which is their inability to uniquely determine the reaction model. This has led to the decline of these methods in favor of isoconversional methods that evaluate kinetics without modelistic assumptions. This work proposes an approach that combines the power of isoconversional methods with model-fitting methods. It is based on using isoconversional methods instead of traditional statistical fitting methods to select the reaction model. Once a reaction model has been selected, the activation energy and frequency factor can be determined for that model. This approach was investigated for simulated and real experimental data for desolvation reactions of sulfameter solvates.     

AOAC International methods committee guidelines for validation of qualitative and quantitative food microbiological official methods of analysis

Responding to a need for a guide for conducting Official Method validation studies of microbiological methods, AOAC utilized the experience of three microbiologists who have been active in the field of method validation. In collaboration, a document was prepared which covered the following areas: terms and their definitions associated with the Official Methods program (e.g., reference methods, alternative methods, and ruggedness testing), protocols and validation requirements for qualitative methods versus those for quantitative methods, the concept of the precollaborative study, ruggedness testing, tests for significant differences, performance indicators, and the approval process. After its preparation, this document was reviewed by the members of the Methods Committee on Microbiology and Extraneous Materials and by members of the Official Methods Board. Herein is presented the approved version of that document.     

A comparison of methods for melting point calculation using molecular dynamics simulations

Accurate and efficient prediction of melting points for complex molecules is still a challenging task for molecular simulation, although many methods have been developed. Four melting point computational methods, including one free energy-based method (the pseudo-supercritical path (PSCP) method) and three direct methods (two interface-based methods and the voids method) were applied to argon and a widely studied ionic liquid 1-n-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([BMIM][Cl]). The performance of each method was compared systematically. All the methods under study reproduce the argon experimental melting point with reasonable accuracy. For [BMIM][Cl], the melting point was computed to be 320 K using a revised PSCP procedure, which agrees with the experimental value 337-339 K very well. However, large errors were observed in the computed results using the direct methods, suggesting that these methods are inappropriate for large molecules with sluggish dynamics. The strengths and weaknesses of each method are discussed.     

New methods for determining the volumetric flow rate in the column and the retention time of the unretained substance in gas chromatography

New methods for calculating the mean volumetric flow rate of the carrier gas and the retention time of the unretained substance in the column under conditions of gas chromatography were proposed. The methods are based on preliminary isothermal calibrations of the flow rate and holdup time for a packed column. A theoretical substantiation of the methods was given. Procedures of plotting calibration dependences for determining the indicated quantities at a desired temperature were described. The calculation results were compared to experimental data obtained by traditional methods. It was demonstrated that the use of calculation methods substantially simplifies the determination of the specific retention volume over a wide temperature range.     

Equivalence of a high-performance liquid chromatographic assay and a bioassay of azithromycin in human serum samples.

Two sensitive methods for the determination of the azalide antibiotic azithromycin in human serum were compared. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and a microbiological assay were simultaneously applied to 768 serum samples obtained in a clinical study. There was excellent agreement between the azithromycin concentrations measured by HPLC and by the bioassay. The correlation coefficient for the two methods was r2 = 0.96. The precision and the sensitivity of the methods were found to be very similar.     

Direct Spectrochemical Analysis of Solids: A Method for Characterization of Sediments

Techniques for the direct analysis of powdered samples provide an advantageous alternative to methods using wet digestion in sample preparation. The direct spectrochemical methods based on electrothermal vaporization (ETV-ICP-OES, solid-ETV-AAS, etc.) show a great similarity to the classical method of dc arc excitation, used in spectrography. Owing to this, the classical dc arc spectrographical method was used in parallel with ETV methods in the direct solid sampling analysis of river and basin sediments. The calibration procedure is the major difficulty of all techniques applied to direct solid sample analysis because of a lack of suitable reference materials. Consequently, it was necessary to verify the application of model calibration samples, preferentially using the simple dc arc OES system and both spectrographic and spectrometric evaluation. The performance parameters of the methods mentioned are compared with those published for the ETV-ICP-OES and SS-ETV-AAS methods.
