Differential scanning calorimetry of chloroquine sulphate exposed to sun,heat and ultraviolet radiation

Chloroquine sulphate, like the phosphate, is an antimalarial formulation widely used in the tropics. The stability of such formulations is therefore of interest in the combat against malaria. A DSC study has been made of the effects of exposure to the sun, heat and UV radiation on the stability of chloroquine sulphate, similarly as performed earlier for chloroquine phosphate. When freshly recrystallized from a water-acetone mixture, chloroquine sulphate exhibits two endothermic peaks, at 169.4° and 204.7°, for the expulsion of crystal water (one molecule) and for the melting process, respectively. The exposure of chloroquine sulphate to the sun, heat and UV radiation leads to splitting of the peak for melting.

Zusammenfassung Chloroquine-Sulfat ist ebenso wie das entsprechende Phosphatderivat ein in den Tropen weitverbreitet angewandtes Antimalaria-Präparat. Die Stabilität dieses Präparates hat damit Bedeutung für die Malariabekämpfung. Die vorliegende Arbeit ist eine Erweiterung einer Untersuchung über den Effekt der Einwirkung.von Sonne, Hitze und UV-Strahlen auf die Stabilität von Chloroquine-Phosphat auf Chloroquine-Sulfat. Aus Wasser-Aceton-Mischungen frisch kristallisiertes Chloroquine-Sulfat zeigt zwei endotherme Peaks bei 169,4 und 204,7 °C, die durch Abgabe von Kristallwasser (ein Molekül) bzw. durch den Schmelzvorgang bedingt sind. Wird Chloroquine-Sulfat der Sonne, Wärme oder UV-Licht ausgesetzt, so wird der dem Schmelzvorgang zuzuscheibende Peak aufgespalten.

Effect of the medium on the oxidation of aliphatic monocarboxylic acids

Oxidation rates and k₂/k₆ ratios are given for some acids from propionic to lauric. The k₂/k₆ ratio is shown to be influenced by the electrostatic effect of the solvent. A linear dependence between the isodielectric values of k₂/k₆ and the number of methylene groups in the acid molecules is described.

Hydrogenolysis of n-butane on Ni-Pd/SiO2 catalysts

Supported Ni-Pd/SiO₂ catalysts of different Ni and Pd composition were studied in n-butane hydrogenolysis. The reaction rate, selectivity towards methane, ethane and propane were determined. On the basis of these data the relationship between the size and composition of the active center and the possibility of surface segregation of one of the components is discussed.

Retrieval of thermodynamic properties of M(OH)2 (M=Mn,Ni and Cd) phases from hydrothermal phase equilibria of MO-H2O systems

The standard thermodynamic properties of M(OH)₂ (M=Mn, Ni and Cd) solid phases have been retrieved using a graphical approach based on the already reportedP vs. T curves obtained from hydrothermal studies of MO-H₂O systems. This approach avoids the use of heat capacity effects. The values retrieved by this modified approach are in good agreement with the calorimetric values.

Hexadiene formation during decomposition of 2-propanol over Ca?P?O catalysts

Hexadiene formation from 2-propanol was investigated in view of acid-base properties of Ca–P–O catalysts with the Ca/P atomic ratio varying from 1.5 to 5.0. The catalytic activity in hexadiene formation increased up to a maximum at Ca/P=2.0, having almost the same amount of weak acidic sites as weak basic sites, and decreased with futher increase in Ca/P ratio.

On the mechanism of propylene oxidation over gallium-molybdenum oxide catalysts

The products of selective oxidation are shown to be formed via a stepwise mechanism with participation of surface allylic complexes. A successive transformation of -allyl to -allyl and further to acrolein is possible. The products of complete oxidation may be formed through surface carbonate-carboxylate complexes via either a stepwise mechanism involving the catalyst's oxygen, or a concerted mechanism with the participation of molecular oxygen.

Effect of carbon support on the hydrogen sorption of platinum

The hydrogen sorption of carbon-supported platinum catalysts, studied by the potentiodynamic method, differs significantly from that of unsupported platinum. The difference depends on the preparation method and on the nature of the support. Possible explanations are suggested as (i) some kind of interaction between metal and support atoms during impregnation, (ii) high dispersity (amorphous structure) and (iii) hydrogen spillover onto the carbon support.

On the relationship between the structures of Cu(II) complexes and their chemical transformations

The paper deals with the relationship between the crystal and molecular structures of CuSO₄.5 H₂O, CuSO₄.3 H₂O and CuSO₄.H₂O on the one hand, and the stoichiometries of their thermal decompositions on the other. With the use of methods of X ray powder diffractograms, i.r. and electronic spectra, evidence is provided that the intermediates of the thermal decomposition of CuSO₄.5 H₂O have the same crystal and molecular structures as CuSO₄.3 H₂O and CuSO₄.H₂O prepared by other procedures. It is also shown that at temperatures near that of the thermal decomposition, certain, not further identified structural changes take place in CuSO₄.5 H₂O.

Thermal properties of thio-and selenocyanatocopper(II) complexes with bipyridine and phenanthroline

The paper deals with the thermal properties of complex compounds of the general formula CuL₂(NCX)₂ (whereL=bipy or phen,X=S or Se). The phenanthroline complexes exhibit a higher thermal stability than those with bipyridine. For the latter complexes thermal decomposition begins with the release of bipyridine molecules, while for the phenanthroline complexes redox reactions of pseudohalogenide ligands with Cu(II) take place. The redox reactions start at a lower temperature for the selenocyanate complexes than for the thiocyanate complexes.

Die thermiscne Zersetzung letzterer beginnt mit der Abgabe von Bipyridinmolekülen, während bei den Phenanthrolinkomplexen Redoxreaktionen von Pseudohalogenidliganden·mit Cu(II) stattfinden. Diese Redoxreaktionen beginnen bei den Selenozyanatkomplexen bei niedrigeren Temperaturen als bei den Thiozyanatkomplexen.

Effect of CO2 on O2 photo-adsorption on anatase

The presence of CO₂ on TiO₂ affects the process of oxygen photo-adsorption depending on the hydroxylation state of the surface. In dehydroxylated samples CO₂ blocks the formation of O ₃ ^– and O ₂ ^– . On H₂O₂/TiO₂ samples pretreated in the range of 150–200°C it leads to CO₂–O ₂ ^– species.

Pt/sol and Pt/support catalysts with 6–15 Å Pt particles have been established to be low active in the hydrogenation of propargyl alcohol, butyn-l-ol-3 and dimethylethynylcarbinol. The specific catalytic activity significantly rises with increasing d_Pt above 15 Å and after the thermal treatment of highly dispersed catalysts in a hydrogen flow.
