The application of the pitzer equations to 1-1 electrolytes in mixed solvents

Pitzer's equation for the activity coefficient has been applied to LiCl, NaCl, KCl, RbCl, CsCl, and HCl in methanol-water mixtures at 25°C. The two parameters, _MX ⁽⁰⁾ and _MX ⁽¹⁾ , were obtained by the method of least squares. The same values of b and as for aqueous systems could be used for the methanol-water mixtures without greatly affecting the standard deviation of the fit. _MX ⁽⁰⁾ was found to decrease with methanol content for the alkali metal chlorides whereas _MX ⁽¹⁾ was found to increase. For HCl, however, a slight maximum and a minimum were found in the values of _MX ⁽⁰⁾ while a maximum was observed in the values of _MX ⁽¹⁾ .     

Complexation of 6-Deoxy-6-(aminoethyl)amino-β-cyclodextrin with Sodium Cholate and Sodium Deoxycholate

In order to study its guest binding and the inclusion phenomena, 6-deoxy-6-(aminoethyl)amino--cyclodextrin (CDN) was synthesised and its binding properties examined. The complexation phenomena of sodium cholate (NaC) and sodium deoxycholate (NaDC) with CDN has been monitored by the NMR method using ¹³C chemical shift data. The method of continuous variation Job's method has been used to determine the stoichiometry of these supramolecular complexes. The Job's plot confirms the 1 : 1 supramolecular complex for NaC: CDN and the 1 : 2 supramolecular complex for NaDC: CDN. The interaction of NaC and NaDC with CDN has been obtained through two-dimensional Rotational Nuclear Overhauser Effect Spectroscopy (ROESY) NMR. Equilibrium constants were also obtained from ¹³C chemical shift data (C-1, C-3 & C-4) at different pH values (7, 9, & 11).     

Some Pharmaceutical Properties of a New Branched Cyclodextrin, 6-O-α-(4-O- α-D-Glucuronyl)-D-glucosylβ-cyclodextrin

Some physicochemical and biological properties of a new branched cyclodextrin, 6-O--(4-O--d-glucuronyl)-d-glucosyl--cyclodextrin GUG--CyD) were investigated. Further, theinteraction of GUG--CyD with several drugs was studied by the solubility and spectroscopic methods, and compared with those of parent -CyD and 6-O--maltosyl--CyD(₂--CyD).The hemolytic activity of GUG--CyD on rabbit erythrocytes was lower than those of -CyD and ₂--CyD. GUG--CyD and ₂--CyD showed negligible cytotoxicity on Caco-2 cells up to at least 0.1 M. The inclusion ability of GUG--CyD to neutral and acidic drugs was comparable to or slightly smaller than those of -CyD and ₂--CyD, probably because of a steric hindrance of the branched sugar. On the other hand, GUG--CyD showed greater affinity for the basic drugs, compared with -CyD and ₂--CyD, owing to the electrostatic interaction of its carboxylate anion with positive charge of basic drugs. Thus GUG--CyD may be useful as a safe solubilizing agent particularly for basic drugs.

Its structure was established using enzymatic and total acid hydrolysis, mass spectrometry, and PMR and ¹³C NMR.     

The Ionic Strength Dependence of Rare Earth and Yttrium Fluoride Complexation at 25°C

Formation constants for the complexation of yttrium and rare earth elements(YREE) by fluoride ions have been measured at 25°C. The ionic strength ()dependence of YREE formation constants in perchlorate solution for ionicstrengths between 0 and 6 molar can be expressed aslog_F1 (M, ) =log_F1 ^o (M) –3.066 ^0.5/(1 + 1.769 ^0.5)+ 0.1645 where log_F1 ^o(M) represents MF²⁺formation constants at zero ionic strength.The log_F1 ^o(M) results obtained inthis work are: Y(4.46), La(3.62), Ce(3.86),Pr(3.84), Nd(3.82), Sm(4.15), Eu(4.27), Gd(4.24), Tb(4.37), Dy(4.39), Ho(4.28),Er(4.27), Tm(4.29), Yb(4.39), and Lu(4.25). The relative magnitudes of YREEformation constants are independent of ionic strength. The pattern oflog_F1(M,),formation constants obtained in this work [relative magnitudes oflog_F1 ^o (M)],exhibits a shallow minimum between Dy and Yb. In contrast to the smoothpattern of stability constants expected if fluoride were to interact with bare ions(with monotonically decreasing crystal radii between La and Lu), theinteractionof F^– with YREEs, which have extensive hydration spheres[M(H₂O)_8–9 ³⁺] resultsin a relatively complex pattern of lanthanide stability constants. The fluoridecomplexation behavior of yttrium differs distinctly from the behavior of any rareearth. Although the crystal radius of Y3;pl is approximately equalto that of Ho³⁺,differences in the covalence/ionicity of Y³⁺ relative to therare earths leads to aYF²⁺ stability constant that exceeds that of any rare earthelement (REE).     

Kinetics and mechanism of the decomposition of pyrite under conventional and quasi-isothermal — quasi-isobaric thermoanalytical conditions

The kinetics and mechanism of the thermal decomposition of pyrite were examined by the method of quasi-isothermal and quasi-isobaric thermogravimetry (Q-TG). It emerged that by means of this technique the overlapping partial processes of the complicated oxidation and decomposition reactions of pyrite can be separated and studied independently from one another. It was found that the partial reactions FeS₂=FeS +S and Fe₂O_3–x(SO₄)_x=Fe₂O₃+SO₃ are endothermic processes taking place quasiisothermally and leading to equilibrium, while the oxidation FeS+O₂=Fe₂O_3–x(SO₄)_x is an exothermic process which takes place in an oscillating manner in a rather broad temperature interval.

Zusammenfassung Autoren untersuchten die Kinetik und den Mechanismus der thermischen Zersetzung von Pyrit durch quasi-isotherme und quasi-isobare Thermogravimetrie (Q-TG). Es stellte sich heraus, daß sich überlagernde Teilprozesse der komplizierten Oxydations- und Zersetzungsprozesse von Pyrit mit Hilfe dieser Technik absondern und unabhängig voneinander untersuchen lassen. Es wurde festgestellt, daß die Teilreaktionen FeS₂=FeS+S und Fe₂O_3–x(SO₄)_x=Fe₂O₃+SO₃ endotherme Prozesse sind, die quasi-isotherm verlaufen und zu einem Gleichgewicht führen, während die Oxydation FeS+O₂=Fe₂O_3–x(SO₄)_x ein exothermer Prozeß ist, der oszillierend in einem ziemlich breiten Temperaturintervall verläuft.

A molecular mechanics study of the effect of substitution in position 1 on the conformational space of the oxytocin/vasopressin ring

Summary The effect of the substitution in position 1 on the low-energy conformations of the oxytocin/vasopressin 20-membered ring was investigated by means of molecular mechanics. Three representative substitutions were considered: -mercapto-,-dimethyl)propionic acid (Dmp), (-mercapto-,-cyclopentamethylene)propionic acid (Cpp), both forming strong antagonists, and (,-dimethyl--mercapto)propionic acid (-Dmp), forming analogs of strongly reduced biological activity, with the -mercaptopropionic (Mpa) residue taken as reference. Both ECEPP/2 (rigid valence geometry) and AMBER (flexible valence geometry) force fields were employed in the calculations. Three basic types of backbone conformations were taken into account which are distinguished by the type of -turn at residues 3 and 4: 1/III, II, and I/III, all types containing one or two intra-annular hydrogen bonds. The allowed (ring-closed) disulfide-bridge conformations were searched by an algorithm formulated in terms of scanning the disulfide-bridge torsional angle C-S-S-C. The ECEPP/2 and AMBER energies of the obtained conformations were found to be in reasonable agreement. Two of the low-energy conformers of the [Mpa¹]-compound agreed very well with the cyclic part of the two conformers found in the crystal structure of [Mpa¹]-oxytocin. An analysis of the effect of -substitution on relative energies showed that the conformations with the N-C-CH₂-CH₂ (₁) and C-CH₂-CH₂-S (₁) angles of the first residue around (–100°, 60°) and (100°, –60°) are not affected; this in most cases implies a left-handed disulfide bridge. In the case of -substitution the allowed values of ₁ are close to ± 60°. This requirement, being in contradiction to the one concerning -substitution, could explain the very low biological activity of the -substituted analogs. The conformational preferences of substituted compounds can largely be explained by the analysis of local interactions within the first residue. Based on the selection of the conformations which are low in energy for both the reference and -substituted compounds, two distinct types of possible binding conformations were proposed, the first one being similar to the crystal conformer with a left-handed disulfide bridge, the second one having a right-handed bridge, but a geometry different from that of the crystal conformer with the right-handed bridge. The first type of disulfide-bridge arrangement is equally favorable for both I/III and II types of backbone structure, while the second one is allowed only for the II type of backbone. No conformation of the I/III type has a low enough energy to be considered as a possible binding conformation for all of the active compounds studied in this work.     

Trans-cis Photoisomerization of 1-Methyl-4-(4′-hydroxystyryl)pyridinium in inclusion complexes ofβ-cyclodextrin and its derivatives

The effects of -cyclodextrin (-CyD), heptakis(2,6-di-O-methyl)--cyclodextrin (DMCyD) and heptakis(2,3,6-tri-O-methyl)--cyclodextrin (TMCyD) ontrans-cis photoisomerization of 1-ethyl-4-(4-hydroxystyryl)pyridinium (POH) have been studied in aqueous solutions. The ratio of [cis]/[trans] for POH in the photostationary state at pH 8.54 was remarkably reduced by the presence of CyD or DMCyD. The reduction of the [cis]/[trans] ratio in the photostationary state was explained in terms of the shift of the equilibrium of POH ₊ ^trans PO _trans + H^– toward PO _trans formation. The binding constants of CyD and DMCyD for PO _trans were 2.00- and 1.36-fold larger than those for POH ₊ ^trans , respectively. The binding constants of TMCyD for both species are much smaller than those of CyD and DMCyD. This result indicates that PO _trans , which has a betain structure, forms stable complexes with CyD and DMCyD with its hydrophobic parts inside and the charged parts outside the CyD cavities.     

Transference Numbers of NaCl in Aqueous Mixtures with Organic Solvents of Moderate to Low Permittivities

Electromotive forces (emf) were measured in the transference cells: AgAgCl- Nacl (m₂) in Z NaCl (m₁) in ZAgClAg and Na_xHg_1-xNaCl (m₁) in Z NaCl (m₂) in ZNa_xHg_1-x (where Na_xHg_1-x denotes a flowing Na–amalgam electrode and Z an aqueous-organic solvent mixture) at various molalities m ₂ > m₁ of NaCl in Z = (ethylene glycol + water), (acetonitrile + water) and (1,4-dioxane + water), with mass fractions of the organic components 0.8. The transference number of Na⁺ in (ethylene glycol + water) and (1,4-dioxane + water) varies little with respect to that in pure water medium, whereas in (acetonitrile + water) it increases remarkably with increasing proportion of acetonitrile so as to approach equitransference, behavior similar to that previously found in (methanol + water) and in (ethanol + water). At acetonitrile mass fraction 0.6 NaCl is sufficiently close to equitransference to emerge as a useful salt bridge, nearly at the same level as the popular aqueous KCl.     

Bis-β-diketones as lonophores for Mg2+ in solvent polymeric membranes

Lipophilic bis--diketones have been prepared by covalently linking two-diketone subunits. Potentiometric studies on liquid membrane electrode cell assemblies showed no improvement of the ion selectivities induced by the bridged systems in comparison to unbridged-diketones. The dissociation constants of the enol functions in the bis--diketones indicate that under the conditions of the EMF measurement probably only one-diketone unit is deprotonated in the liquid membrane phase. The complexation of these-diketones with Mg²⁺ and Ca²⁺ was studied by¹³C NMR-monitored titrations in a homogeneous organic phase.On leave from the Chemistry Department, University of Warsaw, Warsaw, Poland     

The Comparison of the Orientation of Sodium 3-Hydroxy-2-Naphthalenecarboxylate in the Cavity of β-Cyclodextrin and Heptakis-(2,3,6-Tri-O-Methyl)-β-Cyclodextrin

Conformational analysis of inclusion complexes of sodium 3-hydroxy-2-naphthalenecarboxylate with -cyclodextrin and heptakis-(2,3,6-tri-o-methyl)--cyclodextrin in D₂O was investigated by 1D and 2D ¹HNMR measurements. The results show that part of the naphthyl group of sodium 3-hydroxy-2-naphthalenecarboxylate is situated in the 2,3-OH side of the -cyclodextrin cavity asymmetrically while the whole naphthyl group is included in the heptakis-(2,3,6-tri-o-methyl)--cyclodextrin cavity with the caboxylate and hydroxy group close to the 6-OCH₃ group.     

Complex polarizability as used to analyze dielectric relaxation measurements

The effect of representing dielectric properties in terms of the complex polarizability ^c = – i is examined. Loss curves ( and tan ) are shifted towards higher frequencies, revealing the existence of new relaxations and allowing the clarifications of ones already known. We have calculated the shift ratios (at maximum or tan )/ (at maximum or tan ) from the more conventional empirical equations representing the dielectric behavior. Some examples are given.

The pseudobinary systems ACl/CeCl₃ (A=Na-Cs) were reinvestigated by means of DTA. The following compounds were found and identified through their X-ray patterns (primarily detected compounds in italics):NaCe _1.67 Cl ₆; K₃CeCl₆, K₂CeCl₅,KCe _1.67 Cl ₆;Rb ₃ CeCl ₆, Rb₂CeCl₅,RbCe ₂ Cl ₇; Cs₃CeCl₆, Cs₂CeCl₅,CsCe ₂ Cl ₇. The compounds A₂CeCl₅ crystallize with the K₂PrCl₅ structure. The high-temperature modifications of the compounds A₃CeCl₆ have the cubic elpasolite structure. The hexagonal unit cell of KCe_1.67Cl₆ is related to the CeCl₃ structure: 0.33 Ce³⁺ are substituted by one K^s+. The structure of CsCe₂Cl₇ can be described with a hexagonal subcellZ=4,a=9.72 andc=14.94 Å; however, small superstructure reflexions reduce the symmetry.The thermodynamic functions for the reactionsnACl+CeCl₃=A _n CeCl _n+3(A=K, Rb) were determined by means of e.m.f. measurements.Measurements of the e.m.f.E vs. T yielded the Gibbs enthalpiesG ^r . The temperature-dependence was found to be linear.The most important result is the formation of the elpasolites (A₃CeCl₆) and ACe₂Cl₇.

A new improved expression for gamma-ray detection efficiency of Ge(Li) detectors

In the present paper, a new improved expression for -ray detection efficiency of Ge(Li) detectors, ⁰ , is given. It is represented as a continuous function of x (viz. E ^–1) with a maximum and decreases very rapidly to a small positive value as -ray energy, E, drops to 40 keV or lower, but slowly as E rises to 1.7 MeV or higher. Since it can well represent the whole physical process of the -ray detection, this expression may be one of the simplest and most precise representations, for ⁰ at the present time.     

Michael addition of nitromethane to 3-buten-2-one catalyzed by potassium fluoride supported on Al2O3, ZnO, SnO2, sepiolite, AlPO4, AlPO4?Al2O3 and AlPO4?ZnO

The Michael addition of nitromethane to 3-buten-2-one has been carried out in the absence of solvent, using potassium fluoride supported on Al₂O₃, ZnO, SnO₂, sepiolite, AlPO₄, AlPO₄–Al₂O₃ and AlPO₄–ZnO catalysts. We found that KF/ZnO easily performed the Michael addition and thus, ZnO is a better support for the basic reagent than Al₂O₃. Besides, the Michael addition was not successful with AlPO₄ or AlPO₄-metal oxide acidic supports.
