Effect of Mn（Ⅱ） and Ce（Ⅳ） Ions on the Oxidation of Lactic Acid by Chromic Acid

The kinetics and mechanism of lactic acid oxidation in the presence of Mn（Ⅱ） and Ce（Ⅳ） ions by chromic acid were studied spectrophotometrically. The oxidation of lactic acid by Cr（Ⅵ） was found to proceed in two measurable steps, both of which gave pyruvic acid as the primary product in the absence of Mn（Ⅱ）.2Cr（Ⅵ）＋2CH3CHOHCOOH→2CH3COCOOH＋Cr（Ⅴ）＋C（Ⅲ） Cr（V）＋CH3CHOHCOOH→Cr（Ⅲ）＋CH3COCOOHThe observed kinetics was explained due to the catalytic and inhibitory effects of Mn（Ⅱ） and Ce（Ⅳ） on the lactic acid oxidation by Cr（Ⅵ）. The reactivity of lactic acid depends upon the experimental conditions. It acts as a two- or three- equivalent reducing agent in the absence or presence of Mn（Ⅱ）. It was examined that Cr（Ⅲ） products resulting from the direct reduction of Cr（Ⅵ） by three-equivalent reducing agents. The oxidation of lactic acid follows the complex order kinetics with respect to [lactic acid]. The activation parameters Eo, △H^#, and AS^# were calculated and discussed.

Tryptophan Modification and Fluorescence Spectrum of Hyaluronidase

Tryptophan residues in hyaluronidase （HAase） were modified by N-bromosuccinimide （NBS）, the results indicated that there were eleven tryptophan residues in HAase, one of which was exposed and essential for the activity of the enzyme. The study on fluorescence quenching showed that KI could not quench all of the fluorescence from Trp residues in HAase, while acrylamide （Acr） could quench almost all of the fluorescence from Trp residues in HAase. The collisional quenching constants （KD） of HAase at different concentrations of Acr were calculated in terms of Stern-Volmer equation. The results implied that some of the Trp residues were buried in the interior of HAase and the Trp residue on the surface of HAase was not located in the hydrophobic pocket.

By using spectrophotometric and potentiometric techniques, the formation constants of the species formed in the systems H⁺+W(VI) + ethylenediaminediacetic acid and H⁺ + ethylenediaminediacetic acid were determined in aqueous solutions of propanol at 25°C and a constant ionic strength of 0.1 mol dm⁻³ sodium perchlorate. The composition of the complex was determined by the continuous variation method. It was shown that tungsten(VI) formed a mononuclear 1: 1 complex with ethylenediaminediacetic acid of the type WO₃L³⁻ at −log[H⁺] = 5.8. The formation constants in various media were analyzed in terms of the Kamlet-Taft parameters. Solvents were parameterized by dipolarity/polarizability scales π*, hydrogen-bond donor (HBD) strength α, and hydrogen-bond acceptor strength β. Linear dependences (LSERs) on these solvent parameters were used to correlate and predict a wide variety of solvent effects and provide an analysis of them. Linear relationships were observed when log K_S values were plotted versus π*. Finally, the results are discussed in terms of the effect of solvents on complex formation.

POLAROGRAPHIC INVESTIGATION OF THE SYSTEMS ARSENIC(III)-TARTARIC ACID AND ARSENIC(III)-1,2-DIAMINO-CYCLOHEXANE-N,N,N′,N′-TETRAACETIC ACID (DCTA)

Abstract

The reactions between As(III), tartaric acid (H₂T)and DCTA were investigated polarographically. The conditional stability constants of As(III)-complexes at a given pH-value and variable ligand concentration were calculated from the change of the limiting currents. The optimum conditions for calculating stability constants from the current were also discussed. It was found that DCTA (H₄L)formed the complex [As(OH)₂HL]^2- whose overall formation constant was lgβ111=(20.67 ±0.09)atμ=0.1 and t°- (25.0±0.2)°C, whereas the complex between As(III) and H₂T was [As(OH)₂T]^? with an overall stability constant 1gβ 101= 6.62 ±0.14 at μ=0.1 and t°= (25 ± 0.2)°C.     

On the mechanism of interaction between copper (I) and O2

The mechanism of the interaction of Cu⁺-α,α-dipyridyl complex (Cu⁺L₂) with O₂ in both neutral and acid media was studied by the stopped-flow method. The dependence of the mechanism on the acidity of the medium was established. In an acid medium H⁺ participated in a direct O₂ reduction to HO₂ by interaction with an oxygen adduct L₂Cu⁺O₂ formed without displacement of ligand molecules. In a neutral medium the reaction rate was limited by inner sphere charge transfer from Cu⁺ to O₂ to form an oxygen “charge transfer” complex L₂CuO⁺₂. The latter interacted either with the second ion Cu⁺L₂ or with the free ligand, or else it dissociated, reversibly or irreversibly, to form a radical anion O^?₂. The bimolecular rate constants of the oxygen “adduct” and “charge transfer” complex formation appeared to be k_bi = (1.0 ± 0.1) × 10⁵ and (1.5 ± 0.2) × 10⁴M^?1?sec^?1, respectively. The effective termolecular rate constants of O₂ reduction to HO₂ in an acid medium (with contribution from H⁺) and to O^?₂ in a neutral medium (with contribution from α,α-dipyridyl) were k_ter = 2.7 × 10⁸ and 10⁷M^?2?sec^?1. The rate constants of the elementary steps were estimated. The auto-oxidation mechanism of the aquoion and complexes of Cu⁺ is discussed in terms of the results obtained.

Synthesis and characterization of the ligand, 10-(α-hexadecylcarboxymethyl)- 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7-triacetic acid (H4L), and its Gd(Ⅲ) chelate are described. Protonation constants for H4L ( lg Ki^H = 10.52, 9.45,4.74, 4.10) and the stability constant for GdL^-(lg KGdL^-=24.50) were determined by potentiometric titrations.The results obtained show that the ligand still maintains the strong chelating properties of the parent DOTA(1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-N,N‘,N“N′“-tetraacetic acid) after introduction of a linear chain hexadecyl group at the acetic side chain of DOTA, and its basicity is not significantly altered.     

Hydrolysis and chemical speciation of (C2H5)2Sn2+, (C2H5)3Sn+ and (C3H7)3Sn+ in aqueous media simulating the major composition of natural waters

The hydrolysis of (C₂H₅)₂Sn²⁺, (C₂H₅)₃Sn⁺ and (n‐C₃H₇)₃Sn⁺ has been studied, by potentiometric measurements ([H⁺]‐glass electrode), in NaNO₃, NaCl, NaCl/Na₂SO₄ mixtures and in a synthetic seawater (SSWE), as an ionic medium simulating the major composition of natural seawater, at different ionic strengths (0 ≤ I ≤ 5 mol dm^?3) and salinities (15 ≤ S ≤ 45), and at t = 25 °C. Five hydrolytic species for (C₂H₅)₂Sn²⁺, three for (C₂H₅)₃Sn⁺ and two for (C₃H₇)₃Sn⁺ are found. Interactions with the anion components of SSWE, considered as single‐salt seawater, are determined by means of a complex formation model. A predictive equation for the calculation of unknown hydrolysis constants of trialkyltin(IV) cations, such as tributyltin(IV), in NaNO₃, NaCl, and SSWE media at different ionic strengths is proposed. Equilibrium constants obtained are also used to determine the interaction parameters of Pitzer equations. Copyright © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Studies on synthesis,determination of CMC values,kinetics and the mechanism of iron(II) reduction of surfactant–Co(III)–ethylenediamine complexes in aqueous acid medium

The surfactant–Co(III) complexes of the type cis-[Co(en)₂AX]²⁺ (A?=?Tetradecylamine, X?=?Cl^?,?Br^?) were synthesised from corresponding dihalogeno complexes by the ligand substitution method. The critical micelle concentration (CMC) values of these surfactant complexes in aqueous solution were obtained from conductance measurements. The kinetics and mechanism of iron(II) reduction of surfactant–Co(III) complexes, cis-[Co(en)₂(C₁₄H₂₉NH₂)Cl](ClO₄)₂ and cis-[Co(en)₂(C₁₄H₂₉NH₂)Br] (ClO₄)₂ ions were studied spectrophotometrically in an aqueous acid medium by following the disappearance of Co(III) using an excess of the reductant under pseudo-first-order conditions: [Fe(II)]?=?0.25?mol?dm^?3, [H⁺]?=?0.1?mol?dm^?3, [μ]?=?1.0?mol?dm^?3 ionic strength in a nitrogen atmosphere at 303, 308 and 313?K. The reaction was found to be of second order and showed acid independence in the range [H⁺]?=?0.05–0.25?mol?dm^?3. The second-order rate constant increased with surfactant–Co(III) concentration and the presence of aggregation of the complex itself altered the reaction rate. The effects of [Fe(II)], [H⁺] and [μ] on the rate were determined. Activation and thermodynamic parameters were computed. It is suggested that the reaction of [Fe(II)] with Co(III) complex proceeds by an inner-sphere mechanism.     

AN EQUILIBRIUM AND RATE STUDY OF THE INTERACTION OF AQUEOUS CHROMIUM(III) ION WITH ADENINE

Abstract

Potentiometric titration data obtained at 50° for aqueous solutions containing aquochromium(III) ions and adenine were analyzed to yield values for the acid dissociation constants of adenine and the formation constants of 1:1 and 1:2 mononuclear complexes. There is also evidence for a 2:2 dimer for which elemental analysis data suggest a structure of the form (HL=neutral adenine): [(H₂ O)₂ (HL)Cr-μ(OH)₃ -Cr(HL)(H₂ O)₂]³⁺. The kinetic studies indicate that the 1:1 complex is formed in excess adenine with a half-time of about two hours at pH=4.4 and 60°. The proposed mechanism involves an outer-sphere associative intermediate of appreciable stability (K_A ～ 200) followed by rate-determining substitution of adenine for ligand water to produce the 1:1 complex. A much slower subsequent reaction yields the dimer as the final stable product. The formation of the 1:1 complex is an equilibration and both forward and reverse rate constants were determined. The pH dependence data indicate that the reactive species in the system are HL, Cr(H₂ O) ₅OH²⁺, and Cr(H₂ O)₄ (OH)₂ ⁺.     

Equilibrium investigation of complex formation reactions involving copper(II), nitrilo-tris(methyl phosphonic acid) and amino acids,peptides or DNA constitutents. The kinetics,mechanism and correlation of rates with complex stability for metal ion promoted hydrolysis of glycine methyl ester

The complex formation reactions of [Cu(NTP)(OH₂)]^4? (NTP?=?nitrilo-tris(methyl phosphonic acid)) with some selected bio-relevant ligands containing different functional groups, are investigated. Stoichiometry and stability constants for the complexes formed are reported. The results show that the ternary complexes are formed in a stepwise mechanism whereby NTP binds to copper(II), followed by coordination of amino acid, peptide or DNA. Copper(II) is found to form Cu(NTP)H _n species with n?=?0, 1, 2 or 3. The concentration distribution of the various complex species has been evaluated. The kinetics of base hydrolysis of glycine methyl ester in the presence of copper(II)-NTP complex is studied in aqueous solution at different temperatures. It is proposed that the catalysis of GlyOMe ester occurs by attack of OH^? ion on the uncoordinated carbonyl carbon atom of the ester group. Activation parameters for the base hydrolysis of the complex [Cu(NTP)NH₂CH₂CO₂Me]^4? are, ΔH^±?=?9.5?±?0.3?kJ?mol^?1 and ΔS^±?=??179.3?±?0.9?J?K^?1?mol^?1. These show that catalysis is due to a substantial lowering of ΔH^±.
