Enthalpies of dilution and homotactic enthalpic interaction coefficients of THF and 1,4-dioxane at 298.15 k

Enthalpies of dilution at 298.15 K of aqueous solutions of THF and 1,4-dioxane have been determined using flow microcalorimetry. The results obtained were used to determine the homotactic enthalpic interaction coefficients that characterize pair interactions of THF and 1,4-dioxane in aqueous solution. These are briefly discussed from the point of view of intermolecular interaction between the hydrated solute species.     

Aqueous solutions containing amino acids and peptides. Part 19: The enthalpic coefficients for the interactions of N-acetylsarcosinamide with 2-(N-acetylamino)acyl amides at 25°C

Enthalpies of dilution both of solutions of N-acetylsarcosinamide and of ternary solutions equimolal in N-acetylsarcosinamide and N-acetylglycinamide, N-acetyl-L-alaninamide, N-acetyl-L-valinamide or N-acetyl-L-leucinamide have been determined by a microcalorimetric method. The results were employed to calculate the pairwise enthalpic coefficients for both homotactic (like-like) and heterotactic (like-unlike) solute interactions. These pairwise interaction coefficients have been analyzed by means of a group additivity approach and some comments on the utility of this, when applied to such systems, are made.     

Effect of temperature on the dilution enthalpies of α,ω-amino acids in aqueous solutions

Dilution enthalpies of aqueous solutions of 3-amino propanoic acid, 4-amino butanoic acid, 5-amino pentanoic acid, and 6-amino hexanoic acid were determined at T = (293.15, 298.15, 303.15, and 308.15) K using an LKB flow microcalorimeter. The homotactic interaction coefficients were obtained according to the McMillan–Mayer theory from the experimental data. For all the systems studied, the dilution of α,ω-amino acids in water is an exothermic process; the pair coefficients have positive values which increases with chain length. The obtained values of the interaction coefficients are interpreted in terms of solute–solvent and solute–solute interactions and are used as indicative of hydrophobic behavior of the amino acid studied.     

Enthalpic interaction between α-amino acids and pyridine and methylpyridine in aqueous solutions

Enthalpies of dilution of aqueous L-serine, pyridine and methylpyridine solutions and their enthalpies of mixing have been determined by a mixing-flow microcalorimeter at 298.15 K. The data have been analyzed in terms of McMillan-Mayer formalism to fit to virial polynomials from which the heterotactic enthalpic pairwise interaction coefficients, h _xy, betweenL-serine and pyridine and methylpyridine isomers have been evaluated. The results obtained in the present paper are compared with those reported in the earlier paper about glycine and L-alanine in the same organic solvent aqueous solutions, giving a global insight of the interaction mechanism between the a-amino acids and pyridine and methylpyridine from the point of view of solute-solute interactions and substituent effects of methyl groups introduced into the pyridine ring. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Solubilities of families of heterocyclic polynuclear aromatics in organic solvents and their mixtures

The solubilities of anthracene, acridine, xanthene, thioxanthene, carbazole, dibenzofuran, and dibenzothiophene have been experimentally determined in benzene, cyclohexane, thiophene, and pyridine from ambient temperature to approximately 440 K. The results have been correlated using the classical equation for solid-liquid solubility to obtain the experimental activity coefficient of the solute in the solvent. These experimental activity coefficients have been regressed, using three common solution models, to find the binary interaction parameters needed in those models. The solubilities of biphenyl, dibenzofuran, and dibenzothiophene have been experimentally determined in five binary mixtures of the solvents. The experimental activity coefficients have been found and compared to the values predicted by the four solution models, using the binary interaction parameters obtained from the solubilities in the pure solvents and solventsolvent binary interaction parameters obtained from literature vaporliquid equilibria data. The effect of substituting various heteroatoms into the ring structure has been discussed.     

Aqueous solutions containing amino acids and peptides. Part 21. The enthalpic coefficients at 298.15 K for the interaction of N-acetyl-l-prolinamide with some 2-(N-acetylamino)acyl amides

Enthalpies of dilution of N-acetyl-l-prolinamide and equimolal solutions of this with N-acetylglycinamide, N-acetyl-l-alaninamide, N-acetyl-l-valinamide and N-acetyl-l-leucinamide have been determined at 298.15 K using a microcalorimetric procedure. The results obtained were used to calculate the pairwise enthalpic virial coefficients for both like—like (homotactic) and like—unlike (heterotactic) solute interactions. It is shown that the data can be predicted rather well using a group additivity approach with parameters obtained from earlier studies on α-amino and α-imino acid derivatives.     

Chiral recognition between enantiomeric α-aminoacids. A calorimetric study at 25°C

Homotactic and heterotactic enthalpic pair interaction coefficients were determined at 25°C from the enthalpies of dilution of binary and ternary aqueous solutions containing the L and D forms of -aminoacids bearing alkyl chains of increasing length (alanine, -aminobutyric acid, valine, norvaline, leucine, isoleucine and norleucine). Significant differences were found between the values of the homotactic (h _DD or h _LL ) and heterotactic (h _DL ) pairwise coefficients, for the enantiomers of leucine and its isomers. The role of the zwitterionic interactions is discussed to explain the nature of the chiral recognition.     

The intricacies of the stacking interaction in a pyrrole–pyrrole system

Extensive calculations of potential energy surfaces for parallel-displaced configurations of pyrrole–pyrrole systems have been carried out by the use of a dispersion-corrected density functional. System geometries associated with the energy minima have been found. The minimum interaction energy has been calculated as ?5.38 kcal/mol. However, bonding boundaries appeared to be relatively broad, and stacking interactions can be binding even for ring centroid distances larger than 6 Å. Though the contribution of the correlation energy to intermolecular interaction in pyrrole dimers appeared to be relatively small (around 1.6 smaller than it is in a benzene–benzene system), this system’s minimum interaction energy is lower than those calculated for benzene–benzene, benzene–pyridine and even pyridine–pyridine configurations. The calculation of the charges and energy decomposition analysis revealed that the specific charge distribution in a pyrrole molecule and its relatively high polarization are the significant source of the intermolecular interaction in pyrrole dimer systems.

Existance of magnetic interaction between cupric ion could be recognized. Magnetic interaction may be affected by the pyridine derivatives.

Dielectric Study of Charge-transfer Complexes in Binary and Ternary Systems at 35°C

Abstract

The measurements of dielectric constant of a number of binary and ternary mixtures of butyl acetate, butyl alcohol, quinoline, pyridine and o-cresol in carbon tetrachloride and benzene have been made at 35°C. Molecular interaction of these aromatic compounds have been studied in terms of variations in parameters; ‘dipole moment’ (μ), ‘interaction dielectric constant’ (δ?), ‘molecular polarisation’ (P) and ‘excess polarisation’ (P_E ). The dipole moment has been calculated using Hysken's method, the interaction dielectric constant utilizing the equation of ideal mole fraction law and excess polarisation using the theory of Erap and Glasstone. The positive values of δ?₁₂ for binary mixtures of quinoline and butyl acetate in carbon tetrachloride and benzene have been attributed to the formation of charge transfer complexes. The negative values of δ?₁₂ and δ?₁₂₃ with pyridine suggest that charge transfer interaction is weakened by pyridine in its binary and ternary mixtures. The plot between the excess polarisation value and the product of mole fractions yielded a straight line passing through the origin showing the formation of charge transfer complexes.

Thermodynamic and spectroscopic evidence in binary mixtures of nonelectrolytes

Nigam, R.K. and Aggarwal, S., 1986. Thermodynamic and spectroscopic evidence in binary mixtures of nonelectrolytes. Fluid Phase Equilibria, 26: 181–200.Molar excess enthalpies H^E_m of 1,2-dichloroethane (1)+pyridine (2), + α-picoline (2),+n-hexane (2), +n-heptane (2), n-heptane (1)+pyridine (2), +α-picoline (2), +γ-picoline (2), aniline (1)+pyridine 92), +α-picoline (2) and +γ-picoline (2) mixtures have been measured calorimetrically at 298.15 and 308.15 K.The data have been examined in terms of the Lacombe and Sanchez theory and the graph theoretical approach. It was found that these were described better by the graph theoretical approach. The NMR studies on 1,2-dichloroethane (1)+α-picoline (2), aniline (1)+pyridine (2) and aniline (1)+γ-picoline (2) mixtures have also been used to lend credence to the nature and extent of interaction in these mixtures.     

Theoretical ONIOM2 study on pyridine adsorption in the channels and intersection of ZSM-5

The structures of the acid sites in the channels and intersections of H-, Li-, and Na-ZSM-5 (ZSM = zeolite socony mobil) and their interactions with pyridine molecule have been computed by using three corresponding models containing 22 tetrahedral sites. The calculated adsorption energies of pyridine in the intersection regions of H-, Li-, and Na-ZSM-5 are 197.0, 172.5, and 122.3 kJ/mol, respectively, in good agreement with the respective experimental values of 200 +/- 5, 155-195, and 120 kJ/mol, while those in the straight and sinusoidal channels are much smaller (157.9 and 127.6, 152.2 and 149.4, and 150.4 and 109.9 kJ/mol, respectively). These indicate that the most probable adsorption site for pyridine in ZSM-5 is the acidic site located in the intersection region. The structural parameters of the adsorption complexes show that the acidic proton in the three models of H-ZSM-5 has been transferred to the nitrogen of pyridine, while in alkali cation-exchanged ZSM-5, the coordination of the alkali cation to the nitrogen atom of pyridine dominates the overall interaction. In addition, the adsorption complexes were further stabilized by the long-range electrostatic interaction between the positively charged pyridine hydrogen atoms and the negatively charged lattice oxygen atoms of the zeolite framework. In the intersection regions of H-, Li-, and Na-ZSM-5, the coordination energy of the charge-compensating cation to the pyridine nitrogen amounts to 58, 60, and 68% of the total adsorption energy, respectively, while another 42, 40, and 32%, respectively, is due to long-range electrostatic interactions. This indicates that the zeolite lattice framework surrounding the adsorption site has important contributions to the adsorption energy of the pyridine molecule.     

How Aromatic Fluorination Exchanges the Interaction Role of Pyridine with Carbonyl Compounds: The Formaldehyde Adduct

The rotational spectrum of the weakly bound complex pentafluoropyridine⋅⋅⋅formaldehyde has been investigated using Fourier transform microwave spectroscopy. From the analysis of the rotational parameters of the parent species and of the ¹³C and ¹⁵N isotopologues, the structural arrangement of the adduct has been unambiguously established. The full ring fluorination of pyridine has a dramatic effect on its binding properties: It alters the electron density distribution at the π-cloud of pyridine creating a π-hole and changing its electron donor-acceptor capabilities. In the complex, formaldehyde lies above the aromatic ring with one of the oxygen lone pairs, as conventionally envisaged, pointing toward its centre. This lone pair⋅⋅⋅π-hole interaction, reinforced by a weak C−H⋅⋅⋅N interaction, indicates an exchange of the electron-acceptor roles of both molecules when compared to the pyridine⋅⋅⋅formaldehyde adduct. Tunnelling doublets due to the internal rotation of formaldehyde have also been observed and analysed leading to a discussion on the competition between lone pair⋅⋅⋅π-hole and π⋅⋅⋅π stacking interactions.     

Electroactive ligands: the first metal complexes of tetrathiafulvenyl-acetylacetonate

The reaction of tris(alkylthio)tetrathiafulvalene thiolates with 3-chloro-2,4-pentanedione affords tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) moieties substituted by the acetylacetone function (TTFSacacH), precursors of novel redox-active ligands: the acetylacetonate ions (TTFSacac). These TTFSacacHs have been characterized by X-ray diffraction analyses, and similar trends have been observed, such as a TTF core almost planar and the acetylacetone substituent located in a plane almost perpendicular to the plane formed by the TTF core. Their chelating ability has been demonstrated by the formation of the corresponding M(TTFSacac)2(pyridine)2 complexes in the presence of M(II)(OAc)2.H2O (M = Ni2+, Zn2+). These complexes with TTFSacac moieties, Ni(TTFSacac)2(pyridine)2, 6b, and Zn(TTFSacac)2(pyridine)2, 7b, have been characterized by X-ray diffraction analyses, showing in all structures the metal(II) center chelated by two TTFacac units in the equatorial plane and the octahedral coordination geometry around the metal completed by two axial pyridine ligands. Cyclic voltammetry and UV-visible-near infrared spectroscopic measurements have evidenced a sizable interaction between the two electroactive ligands and the stabilization of a mixed-valence state in the one-electron oxidized complexes.     

Solubilization of silica: Synthesis, characterization and study of penta-coordinated pyridine N-oxide silicon complexes

In an effort to design agents that could solubilize silica in water, under ambient conditions and pH, as takes place in nature, novel zwitterionic, penta-oxo-coordinated silicon compounds with siliconate cores have been prepared from 4-substituted pyridine N-oxides (H, OMe, morpholino, NO₂) as donor ligands, their structures established by¹H,¹³C and MS, and the coordination number of silicon, by²⁹Si NMR. The formation of complexes from pyridine N-oxides is noteworthy since they arise from interaction with a weakly nucleophilic oxygen centre. The ability of the pyridine N-oxides to enhance the solubilization of silica in water has been experimentally demonstrated. Possible rationalization of this observation on the basis of O → Si coordination via the oxygen atom of pyridine N-oxide is suggested Dedicated to Professor S Swaminathan on the occasion of his 80th birthday     

A study of solute-solute interactions of amides dissolved in N-methylformamide by enthalpic interaction coefficients

Enthalpies of dilution of formamide, acetamide, propionamide, butyramide and hexanamide, dissolved in N-methylformamide have been measured calorimetrically at 25°C. From the results McMillan-Mayer coefficient related enthalpic pair and triplet interaction coefficients have been calculated. Except for those of formamide, all pair coefficients are negative, whereas the triplet terms are positive. The values in the protic solvent N-methylformamide presented in this paper together with those published before are compared with results for corresponding solutes dissolved in the aprotic solvent N,N-dimethylformamide. A discussion of the dependence of the interaction coefficients on the applied concentration scale is given and conversion factors are presented. The influence of hydrogen bonding, of substituent effects on this hydrogen bonding, and of polarophobic interaction is discussed. The latter is comparable in N,N-dimethyl-and N-methylformamide. The enthalpic pair interaction coefficients have been correlated with the Excess Group Additivity approach.To whom correspondence should be addressed.

The dynamic structure of liquid pyridine has been studied by analysing the deuterium and nitrogen ¹⁴N quadrupolar relaxation data of selectively labelled substances. The so-called friction model of molecular reorientation is applied. The coefficients of the microscopic friction tensor for spinning and tumbling motions in liquid pyridine are calculated. The results show motional anisotropy. The friction coefficient for spinning motion is virtually temperature independent.
