Simultaneous determination of yohimbine and boldine by first-derivative synchronous spectrofluorimetry

A method for the simultaneous determination of yohimbine and boldine in mixtures by first-derivative synchronous spectrofluorimetry has been developed. The method is based on their native fluorescence in 0.1N sulphuric acid medium. The constant wavelength difference chosen to optimize the determination was =_em -_em=82 nm. Yohimbine was measured at _ex//_em= 285/367 nm, and boldine at _ex/_em=272/354 nm. The range of application is 10–500 g/l for yohimbine and 1–50 g/l for boldine. The method was applied to the determination of yohimbine and boldine in synthetic mixtures and pharmaceuticals, with errors generally 2%. Relative standard deviations were about 2%.Dedicated to Professor Fermin Capitán on his 72th birthday     

Ein Ger?t zur h?chstempfindlichen Differentialspektrophotometrie mit dem Rapidspektroskop

Zusammenfassung Eine Methode zur Differentialspektrophotometrie durch Modulation eines Monochromators wird beschrieben. Der Monochromator oscilliert mit variabler Bandbreite zwischen ₁ und ( ₁+). Wenn ( ₁+) die Wellenlänge des Absorptionsmaximums ist, erscheint am Photo multiplierausgang einer Sinuswelle, deren Amplitude der Extinktions differenz zwischen ¹ und ( ₁+) proportional ist. Die Schaltung zur ultralinearen Messung dieser Amplitude ist angegeben und ihre Anwendung mit dem Zweistrahlphotometer Rapidspektroskop gezeigt. Die Empfindlichkeit wird durch die Kombination um den Faktor 10 bis 100 gesteigert. Der Rauschpegel ist bei der Monochromator-Modulationstechnik etwa 10^–4 E.Das Differentialspektrum stellt die erste Ableitung eines Spektrums dar und gestattet die genauere Lokalisation von Schultern in steilen Flanken eines Spektrums. Die Kombination der beschriebenen Methode mit der Technik des Rapidspektroskops erlaubt es, dasselbe mit gleichem Erfolg wie ein Dual-Wavelength-Gerät einzusetzen.

Summary A method for differential spectrophotometry by modulation of a single monochromator is described. A single monochromator oscillates with variable bandwidth between ₁ and ( ₁+ ). If ( ₁ + ) is the wavelength at maximal optical density, the photomultiplier output gives a sinus-wave, the amplitude of which is proportional to the optical density difference between ₁ and ( ₁+). The circuit for ultralinear measurement of this amplitude is described and details of its application with the split-beam spectrophotometer Rapidspektroskop are given. The sensitivity of the entire assembly is increased by a factor of between ten and one hundred. The noise level of the monochromator-modulated technique is about 10^–4 optical density units. The differential spectrum represents the first derivative of a spectrum and allows one to determine more exactly the location of shoulders in the slope of a spectrum.The combination of the described method with the techniques of the Rapid spektroskop thus provides facilities which equal those of a dual-wavelength apparatus.

     

Unicyclic Graphs with Minimal Energy

If G is a graph and ₁,₂,..., _n are its eigenvalues, then the energy of G is defined as E(G)=|₁|+|₂|++| _n |. Let S _n ³ be the graph obtained from the star graph with n vertices by adding an edge. In this paper we prove that S _n ³ is the unique minimal energy graph among all unicyclic graphs with n vertices (n6).     

A turbidity study of particle interaction in latex suspensions

A turbidimetric analysis of particle interaction in latex suspensions is given. The turbidity measured at different wavelengths can be rendered by the product of an integrated form factorQ(²) and a suitably defined integrated structure factorZ(²,c). This factorization rests on the expansion of the form factor of the particlesP(q) and the structure factorS(q) [q=(4/)sin(/2); : scattering angle] of the system in even powers ofq. The accuracy of this approximation has been shown by calculating the turbidity for a system of hard spheres in terms of the Percus-Yevick structure factor by numerical integration. Also, the effect of polydispersity has been taken into account within the frame of Percus-Yevick-Vrij theory for non-uniform hard spheres. It is shown that the influence of small polydispersity (standard deviation below 8%) is within experimental uncertainty. The method is applied to precise UV-spectra (400800 nm) obtained from a polystyrene latex with a diameter of 77.4 nm. The integrated structure factorZ(²,c) obtained experimentally can be interpreted in terms of an effective diameter of interaction giving a measure for the strength of electrostatic interaction.

Chitosan–Carrageenan Gels

Phase behavior of the systems during the formation of polyelectrolyte complexes obtained by mixing of aqueous solutions of chitosan and -, -, or -carrageenan was studied. The gelation was shown to occur throughout the whole bulk solution at chitosan and -carrageenan concentrations higher than 0.1 and 0.3 wt %, respectively. At lower polysaccharide concentrations, the polyelectrolyte complexes precipitated. The study was performed at the polysaccharide concentrations not higher than 1 wt %. The gel systems were investigated by the dynamic rheology method. The mechanical characteristics of -carrageenan-containing gels were found to be mainly governed by the chitosan content; the viscosity of these gels was independent of temperature. Gels obtained with - and -carrageenans were sensitive to temperature because of the helix–coil conformational transitions in their molecules. The mechanical strength and stiffness of gels increase in the ––-carrageenan series. This effect was explained by the formation of additional crosslinks by double helixes of - and -carrageenan molecules.     

Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) Heterogeneity: A Differential Cyclic Voltabsorptometry Study

A voltabsorptometry study of the redox behavior of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) films in tetrabutylammonium tetrafluoroborate solutions in acetonitrile shows the polymer to exhibit heterogeneous properties when both reduced and oxidized. The measurements are taken at characteristic wavelengths selected on the basis of stationary absorption spectra. The reduced polymer's heterogeneity is explained under the assumption that the polymer contains simultaneously linear ( = 530 nm) and spiral ( = 660 nm) structures. The formation of two oxidized polymer states is proved experimentally. Both states presumably result from strong ( = 880 nm) and weak ( = 1050 nm) interactions between the anion and the positively charged polymer chain. The oxidized 880-nm state is shown to arise from the 660-nm state, whereas the 1050-nm state forms of the 530-nm state.

Substituent dependence of the d-d transition band in the electronic absorption spectra of arylferrocenes and the corresponding arylferricenium salts

The electronic absorption spectra of 22 arylferrocenes and their arylferricenium salts with pentacyanopropenide (PCNP) were recorded. The attemptedHammett correlation of _max of the d-d transition bands of arylferrocenes revealed that this band is substituent dependent only for strong electron-withdrawing substituents. Excellent correlation of _max of the d-d transition bands with ⁺ constants was found in the case of arylferricenium cations. Good correlations of _max was also found with theE _1/2 oxidation potentials measured by cyclic voltametry.

Substituentenabhängigkeit des d-d-Überganges in den Elektronenabsorptions-Spektren von Arylferrocenen und entsprechenden Arylferricenium-Salzen

Zusammenfassung Elektronenabsorptions-Spektren von 22 Arylferrocenen und ihren Arylferricenium-Pentacyanopropenid-Salzen wurden gemessen. VersuchteHammett-Korrelationen des längstwelligen d-d-Überganges (_max) zeigten, daß diese Bande nur von stark elektronenanziehende Substituenten abhängig ist. Im Fall der Arylferricenium-Kationen wurde eine ausgezeichnete Korrelation zwischen _max der d-d-Bande und den ⁺-Konstanten festgestellt. Eine gute Korrelation der _max-Werte wurde auch mit denE _1/2 Oxidationspotentialen gefunden, die durch cyclische Voltametrie meßbar sind.

     

Sedimentation equilibrium of suspensions of colloidal particles at finite concentrations

Equilibrium concentration profiles of non-dilute colloidal suspensions are calculated by means of the Carnahan-Starling expression for the osmotic compressibility of hard sphere liquids. The profiles depend on the average volume fraction of the suspension, , and on the field interaction parameter, ₀ (reciprocal of the Péclet number at infinite dilution). Profiles are computed for values of and ₀ typical of those encountered in sedimentation field-flow fractionation experiments. It is found that, in most cases, the volume fraction at the depletion wall is negligibly small and that the volume fraction at the accumulation wall ₀, depends on the ratio <>₀/₀ only. An inflexion point is found in the concentration profile if ₀ is larger than 0.13 whatever the value of ₀.

Optisch aktive aromatische Spirane, 18. Mitt.: Darstellung von optisch aktiven 4,4′-disubstituierten 2,2′-Spirobi-s-hydrindacenen

Summary All optically active title compounds were obtained from the 4,4-diacetyl-spiro compound2; (+)- and (–)-2 were accessible by chromatography on triacetyl cellulose in ethanol. The enantiomeric purities were established from chromatographic data. The chirality (–)-(2R) was deduced for all new compounds on the basis of the CD spectra of (–)-2 and (–)-2,2-spirobi-(5,6,7,8-tetrahydrobenzo[f]indane). From the molar rotations of these 4,4-disubstituted 2,2-spirobiindanes (empirical) ligand parameters were determined (using the so-called shortened approach). Generally, the values of in these compounds are higher than those of the analogous tetrahydrobenzoindane derivatives.

Eine genaue pyknometrische Dichtebestimmung mit kleinen Flüssigkeitsmengen

Zusammenfassung Die Messungen mitMikropyknometerpipetten gestatten bei sorgfältiger Handhabung und Temperaturkonstanz die Dichte von Flüssigkeiten mit einer relativen Genauigkeit von 0,5 zu bestimmen, das heißt, sie sind bis zur dritten Dezimale exakt. Für viele wissenschaftliche Zwecke werden Präzisionsmessungen auf 0,01 Genauigkeit gefordert. Diese Genauigkeit wird mit einer Pipette von 500 Inhalt erreicht. Es werden auch Pipetten mit 10 Inhalt bei einer Genauigkeit von 0,3 und mit 0,8 Inhalt bei einer Genauigkeit von etwa 1% verwendet. Die Bestimmung ist nur mit Flüssigkeiten kleiner Viskosität möglich. Die Füllung erfolgt durch Einsaugen mit der Vakuumpumpe, das Entleeren durch Zentrifugieren. Die Wägung wurde auf einer Kuhlmann-Mikrowaage ausgeführt. Die Flüssigkeit kann praktisch ohne Verlust wiedergewonnen werden.

Summary With careful manipulation and constant temperature, micropyknometer pipettes yield density measurements of liquids with a relative accuracy of 0.5, i. e., they are exact to 3 decimals. Precision measurements within 0.01 are required for many scientific purposes. This accuracy is attained with a 500 pipette. Likewise, pipettes with a capacity of 10 are used with an accuracy of 0.3, and those with 0.8 capacity with about 1% accuracy. The determination is possible only with liquids of low viscosity. The pipette is filled by suction with a vacuum pump, the discharge is by centrifuging. A Kuhlmann microbalance serves for the weighing. The liquid can be recovered with practically no loss.

Pour de nombreux buts scientifiques, on exige des mesures de précision jusqu'à 0,01 pour mille. Cette précision est atteinte avec une pipette de 500 de capacité ( = ml^–3). On utilise aussi des pipettes de 10 de capacité avec une précision de 0,3 pour mille et de 0,8 avec une précision d'environ 1%. La détermination n'est possible qu'avec des liquides de faible viscosité. Le remplissage a lieu par aspiration avec la pompe à vide et la vidange par centrifugation. La pesée est faite sur une microbalance de Kuhlmann. Le liquide peut pratiquement être récupéré sans perte.

     

Four spectrophotometric methods for determination of nitrofurazone in pharmaceutical formulations

Four simple and sensitive visible spectrophotometric methods (A-D) for the determination of nitrofurazone in bulk samples and pharmaceutical formulations are described. They are based on the formation of colored species by treating either its reduction product with 3-methylbenzothiazolin-2-one hydrazone in the presence of ferric chloride (method A: _max 600 nm) or its hydrolysis product with thiobarbituric acid (method B: _max 520 nm, 440 nm) or barbituric acid (method C: _max 400 nm) or by oxidizing it with excess N-bromosuccinimide and determining the consumed NBS using metol-isonicotinic acid hydrazide (method D: _max 620 nm).     

Investigations of hard elastic polypropylene with respect to the coil-strand-transition model

Hard elastic polypropylene was investigated by x-ray scattering using synchrotron radiation and by performing stress strain measurements in different liquids. It was found that the long period increases with elongation up to 1.3–1.4. Beyond this extension a change in the deformation behavior takes place. In the range from 1.1 to 1.3–1.4 the deformation measurements in the different liquids are in good agreement with the coil-strand-transition model. The proposed linear relationship between the deformation work and the elongation could be confirmed. The same holds for the surface energy. Moreover, the calculated ratio between the surface energy and the deformation work agrees with the measurements.     

Structural Anisotropy of Fractal Aggregates and Its Exhibition in Electrooptical Effects

The first experimental examination of orientational turbidimetric effect [differential orientational spectrum of optical density D() in suspensions of fractal clusters was presented. Experiments were performed for aqueous suspensions of powdered Aerosil OX-50 aggregates ordered by the alternating electric field oriented along or across the unpolarized light beam. Experimental differential spectra D() are essentially different from the known spectra for bacterial and yeast suspensions. In particular, the points of zero effect lie in the red (but not in the blue) region of spectrum, and the |D()| dependence is a decreasing function in the range 300–800 nm. To explain these results, a theory was developed based on the three-dimensional lattice model of cluster-cluster aggregation and the optical model of interacting dipoles. This theory confirms main conclusions obtained previously in the Rayleigh–Debye–Hans approximation (Khlebtsov, N.G. and Mel'nikov, A.G., Kolloidn. Zh., 1998, vol. 60, no. 6, p. 843) and agrees with experimental D() spectra. It was shown experimentally and theoretically that the structural anisotropy of aggregates exhibited scale invariance, and the differential spectra for the aggregates with various numbers of particles are described by a single universal curve D(kR _g), where k= 2/ and R _gis the mean radius of gyration of aggregates.
