Probing the Catalytically Active Species in POM-Catalysed DNA-Model Hydrolysis**

Phosphoester hydrolysis is an important chemical step in DNA repair. One archetypal molecular model of phosphoesters is para-nitrophenylphosphate (pNPP). It has been shown previously that the presence of molecular metal oxide [Mo₇O₂₄]⁶⁻ may catalyse the hydrolysis of pNPP through the partial decomposition of polyoxomolybdate framework resulting in a [(PO₄)₂Mo₅O₁₅]⁶⁻ product. Real-time monitoring of the catalytic system using electrospray ionisation mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) provided a glance into the species present in the reaction mixture and identification of potential catalytic candidates. Following up on the obtained spectrometric data, Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations were carried out to characterise the hypothetical intermediate [Mo₅O₁₅(pNPP)₂(H₂O)₆]⁶⁻ that would be required to form under the hypothesised transformation. Surprisingly, our results point to the dimeric [Mo₂O₈]⁴⁻ anion resulting from the decomposition of [Mo₇O₂₄]⁶⁻ as the active catalytic species involved in the hydrolysis of pNPP rather than the originally assumed {Mo₅O₁₅} species. A similar study was carried out involving the same species but substituting Mo by W. The mechanism involving W species showed a higher barrier and less stable products in agreement with the non-catalytic effect found in experimental results.

Evaluation of Manganese(II) and Manganese(VII) Speciation in Water Samples by Ion Pair High-performance Liquid Chromatography-inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry

The speciation of Mn(II) and Mn(VII) is reported by ion pair chromatography. To optimize the separation, sample pH, ion pair reagent, Mn(II) complexing agent, and composition of mobile phase were characterized. The separation of Mn(II) and Mn(VII) was performed using ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid to complex Mn(II), tetrabutylammonium hydroxide as an ion pair reagent, and a C8 column. The separation of the manganese species was demonstrated by high-performance liquid chromatography-inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (HPLC ICP-MS). The conversion of Mn(VII) to Mn(II) occurred during the separation and influenced the quantification; hence, the factors affecting this process including the storage time, manganese species ratio, and sample matrix composition were evaluated and suitable calibration was demonstrated. The method was validated by characterization of the selectivity, specificity, linearity, limits of detection and quantification, repeatability, and intermediate precision. The detection limit for Mn(II) was 0.22 µg?L^?1, while for Mn(VII), the value was 1.55 µg?L^?1.

Applications of Nanoparticles in Elemental Speciation

Nanoparticles, notable for their small size, high surface area to volume ratios, and strong adsorption capacity, have been the subject of great interest in analytical chemistry. Over the past decade, nanoparticles have been widely used as adsorbents for elemental speciation. Elemental ions or chelates may interact with nanoparticles by van der Waals forces, hydrogen bonds, and hydrophobic interactions. Various types of nanoparticles used for elemental speciation, including magnetic nanoparticles, carbon nanotubes, metallic oxide nanoparticles, nanostructured mixed oxides, and ion imprinted polymer nanoparticles, are reviewed. Future trends and development in this research area are discussed.

Hydrolysis and polycondensation of ethyl silicates. 2. Hydrolysis and polycondensation of ETS40 (ethyl silicate 40)

The effects of catalysts, pH and reaction conditions on the course of the hydrolysis and condensation of ETS40 (ethyl silicate 40), and on the composition of the reaction products were studied with the aid of gas and gel chromatography, potentiometry and gelation tests. Strong acids (HCl, HClO₄, HNO₃, H₂SO₄, p-toluenesulphonic acid), weak acids (Cl₃, CCOOH, ClCH₂COOH, (COOH)₂, CH₃COOH and HCOOH) and bases (LiOH, NH₄,OH) were used as catalysts.

The hydrolysis rate increased with increasing temperature, catalyst concentration, initial water concentration and initial ethyl silicate concentration, whereas it decreased with increasing number of Si atoms in the ethyl silicate molecules. At pH 0–7 the hydrolysis was acid catalysed, but at pH above 7.0 it was base catalysed. Simultaneously with the hydrolysis, condensation occurred at a rate which increased with increasing temperature, catalyst concentration, ETS40 concentration and, above all, with increasing initial water concentration. The condensation rate depended on the pH. The condensation was at its slowest for pH around 2.0. For pH below 2.0, the condensation increased with increasing hydrogen ion concentration; for pH above 2.0 the condensation increased with decreasing hydrogen ion concentration. Phosphoric acid and hydrofluoric acid increased the rate of condensation considerably. The reaction of ETS40 with water at pH around 2.0 gave rise during the hydrolysis to solutions of ethoxyhydroxysiloxanes with an average of 14–20 Si atoms in a molecule, which displayed long-term stability.

Raman Spectroscopy of Aqueous ZnSO4 Solutions under Hydrothermal Conditions: Solubility, Hydrolysis, and Sulfate Ion Pairing

Raman spectra have been measured for aqueous ZnSO₄ solutions under hydrothermal conditions at steam saturation to 244°C; solubility has been recorded as a function of temperature from 25 to 256°C. The high-temperature Raman spectra contained two polarized bands, which suggest that a second sulfato complex, possibly bidentate, is formed in solution, in addition to the 1:1 zinc(II) sulfato complex, which is the only ion pair identified at lower temperatures. Under hydrothermal conditions, it was possible to observe the hydrolysis of the zinc(II) aquo ion by measuring the relative intensity of bands due to SO ₄ ^2– and HSO ₄ ^– according to the equilibrium reaction Zn(OH₂)₆]²⁺ + SO ₄ ^2– [Zn(OH₂)₅OH]⁺ + HSO ₄ ^– The precipitate in equilibrium with the solution at 210°C could be characterized as ZnSO₄ · H₂O (gunningite) by x-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman and infrared spectroscopy. At 244°C the equilibrium precipitate could be identified as ZnSO₄ (zincosite).     

Improvements of Speciation Analyses in Environmental Matrices

The release of some organometallic compounds and other chemical forms of elements in the environment has led to great international concern because of their high toxicity. The validation of the analytical techniques became of paramount importance which led the Community Bureau of Reference (BCR) to decide on the organisation of a series of projects for the improvement of the quality of speciation analyses. In addition, it was found useful to discuss thoroughly the different sources of error likely occurring in speciation analyses and a workshop was organized for this purpose; the aim of this workshop was to discuss the state of the art of speciation determinations, to define use, applicability and necessity of determinations of element species, to investigate where limitations exist and discuss the work necessary to overcome these and to detect where techniques have sufficiently been developed to produce reliable and valuable results. This paper presents the organization of the workshop, its main issue and describe the state of the current BCR projects on speciation.Abbreviations AAS Atomic absorption spectrometry - CVAAS Cold vapour AAS - DPP Differential pulse polarography - ECD Electron capture detector - ETAAS Electrothermal AAS - FIA Flow injection analysis - FID Flame ionisation detector - FLUOR Spectrofluorimetry - FPD Flame photometric detector - GC Gas chromatography - HG Hydride generation - HPLC High performance liquid chromatography - HPLC-AES HPLC atomic emission spectrometry - INAA Instrumental neutron activation analysis - ICPAES Inductively coupled plasma AES - MS Mass spectrometry - QFAAS Quartz furnace AAS - RNAA Neutron activation analysis with radiochemical separation     

Application of the Specific Ion Interaction Theory → the Solubility Product and First Hydrolysis Constant of Europium

The specific ion interaction theory (SIT) was applied to the first hydrolysis constants of Eu(III) and solubility product of Eu(OH)₃ in aqueous 2, 3 and 4 mol⋅dm⁻³ NaClO₄ at 303.0 K, under CO₂-free conditions. Diagrams of pEu_aq versus pC_H were constructed from solubilities obtained by a radiometric method, the solubility product log₁₀ K_{sp, Eu(OH)3}^I {Eu(OH)_3(s) Eu_aq³⁺+ 3OH_aq⁻ } values were calculated from these diagrams and the results obtained are log₁₀ K_sp,Eu(OH)3^I = − 22.65 ± 0.29, −23.32 ± 0.33 and −23.70 ± 0.35 for ionic strengths of 2, 3 and 4 mol⋅dm⁻³ NaClO₄, respectively. First hydrolysis constants {Eu_aq³⁺+H₂O Eu(OH)_(aq)²⁺+H⁺ } were also determined in these media by pH titration and the values found are log₁₀β_Eu,H^I = − 8.19 ± 0.15, −7.90 ± 0.7 and −7.61 ± 0.01 for ionic strengths of 2, 3, and 4 mol⋅dm⁻³ NaClO₄, respectively. Total solubilities were estimated taking into account the formation of both Eu³⁺ and Eu(OH)²⁺ (7.7 < pC_H < 9) and the values found are: 1.4 × 10⁻⁶ mol⋅dm⁻³, 1.2 × 10⁻⁶ mol⋅dm⁻³ and 1.3 × 10⁻⁶ mol⋅dm⁻³, for ionic strengths of 2, 3 and 4 mol⋅dm⁻³ NaClO₄, respectively. The limiting values at zero ionic strength were extrapolated by means of the SIT from the experimental results of the present research together with some other published values. The results obtained are log₁₀ K_{sp, Eu(OH)3}^o = − 23.94 ± 0.51 (1.96 SD) and log₁₀β_Eu,H⁰ = − 7.49 ± 0.15 (1.96 SD).
