Effective Ionic Radii and Hydration Volumes for Evaluation of Solution Properties and Ionic Adsorption

Evaluation of effective ionic radii and corresponding individual hydrated-ion volumes provides data required for interpretation of various ion-specific solution properties and for understanding of specificity of ion adsorption at electrode and colloid interfaces. Principles involved in assignment of intrinsic ionic radii and hydrated-ion volumes are comparatively reviewed and examined as a basis for discussion of electrostriction volume changes. Three examples are given of applications of procedures for evaluation of individual hydrated-ion radii and volumes: (a) partial molal volumes and isentropic compressibilities of a series of oxyanions of various structures; (b) steric effects in hydration of alkylammonium and pyridinium cations; and (c) role of ion-hydration effects in specificity of chemisorption of electron donative anions at electrode surfaces.

Radiolysis of aqueous solutions of thiamine

The results of the radiolysis of aqueous solutions of thiamine (vitamin B₁) are presented. The yields for decomposition of thiamine and the product of radiolytic products were determined. The G values decrease as the dose increases. Some radiolytic products were identified. Decomposition of thiamine was slightly dependent on the presence of oxygen and on the pH of the solution. At pH 4.4 with a concentration of 2.5 × 10⁻⁴ mol L⁻¹ of thiamine in an oxygen free aqueous solution, the G⁰ value for decomposition is 5.0.     

Ultrasonic absorption of the oxyethylene group in aqueous nonelectrolyte solutions

The ultrasonic absorption from 6.5 to 220 MHz and velocities at 2.5 MHz have been measured in aqueous solution of triethylene glycol monobutyl ether as a function of concentration at 25°C. A single relaxational excess absorption, observed from 0.60 to 2.5 mol-dm^–3, is attributed to a perturbation of an equilibrium associated with solute-solvent interaction. Rate constants for the forward and reverse processes have been determined from the concentration dependence of the relaxation frequency, and the influence on the water structure by an addition of the solute has been considered. Solution densities were also measured in order to obtain the expansivity of the solution. The standard volume and enthalpy changes of the reaction have been estimated from the concentration dependence of the maximum excess absorption per wave length. A linear relationship between the number of oxyethylene groups and the free energy change between bonded water and nonbonded water is established.     

The aromatic amino acid behaviour in aqueous amide solutions

The enthalpies of solution of L-phenylalanine in the mixtures of water with the protein denaturant urea have been measured in the temperature range of 288.15–318.15 K. Using the results of the present research and literature data of free energies, the standard thermodynamic functions of the solute transfer from water to aqueous urea solutions have been estimated in a wide temperature range. The enthalpic, heat capacity, entropic and free energy parameters of the solute-urea pair and triplet interactions have been computed. The amino acid — amide pair interaction was found to be attractive in the temperature range studied due to the favourable enthalpic term. The triplet interaction being slightly repulsive reveals the enthalpic origin also. The examination of the Savage and Wood additivity-of-groups approach does indicate the inapplicability of this scheme to enthalpies and entropies of interaction. It has been found for the first time that the heat capacity of interaction changes its sign at 303 K, i.e. the temperature dependence of enthalpic and entropic parameters passes through the pronounced extrema near the temperature of the minimum of the heat capacity of pure water.     

Luminescence kinetics and association equilibria of lanthanide ions in aqueous solutions

Luminescence life time measurement can be used under certain conditions to determine the thermodynamic constants of complex formation between the luminescent (central ion) and ligand. The basic equations correlating the life time and the equilibria constants were derived for two cases: the time for establishing the thermodynamic equilibrium is much shorter than the life time of the excited state of the central ion; and the time for establishing the equilibrium and the life time are of the same order of magnitude.     

Experiments and model for the surface tension of carbonated monoethanolamine aqueous solutions

Study of intermolecular interactions in aqueous solutions by millimeter spectroscopy

The absorption of millimeter electromagnetic radiation (v=1.4, 1.71, and 5 cm⁻¹) by aqueous solutions of glycine (pH 6.1–6.2) in the concentration range of 0.5–2.5 mol L⁻¹ was measured. It was found that the absorbing ability of the water present in the solutions, is higher than that of pure water. This phenomenon is explained by the presence of a center of negative hydration in the structure of the glycine zwitterion, which results in an increase in the rotational mobility of water molecules immobilized in the hydrate shell of the glycine zwitterion.

Ionic liquid-alkane association in dilute solutions

Enthalpies and entropies of transfer were measured by gas chromatography for dilute solutions of a homologous series of eight even n-alkanes (from octane to docosane) into six different ionic liquids (ILs) (namely, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride, bromide, iodide, triflate and hexafluorophosphate; plus N-butylmethylpyridinium bis {(trifluoromethyl) sulfonyl}-imide) over the 80–150 °C temperature range, all ILs being in the liquid state. Over a narrow concentration range, the entropic change may be consistent with a solvophobic association model of n-alkanes in ILs. A very simple model is proposed to account for the thermodynamic data. This approach can be used to approximate interionic distances and possible dielectric constants for ILs. Although the model may have some use in dilute alkane-IL solutions, more sophisticated models, particularly for the enthalpic contributions, are desirable.     

Enthalpies of solution of glycine in aqueous solutions of 1,2-diols and glycerol at 25°C

Dissolution enthalpies of glycine in mixtures of water with 1,2-ethanediol, 1,2-propanediol, 1,2-butanediol, 1,2-pentanediol, 1,3-propanediol and glycerol have been measured at 25°C. The enthalpic pair interaction coefficients of the glycine zwitterion with the polyalcohol molecule have been determined by using the standard solution enthalpies of glycine in water and in aqueous solutions of the polyalcohols. The values of the resultant enthalpic interaction coefficients are interpreted assuming a criterion in the form of the effect of hydrophobic alkyl radicals on the interactions between the hydroxyl groups of polyalcohols and the zwitterion of glycine.     

Synthesis of polymers in aqueous solutions: Esterification reaction of poly(methacrylic acid) with alkyl halides using DBU in aqueous solutions

A convenient esterification reaction of poly(methacrylic acid) (PMAA) with certain alkyl halides was performed using 1,8-diazabicyclo-[5.4.0]-7-undecene (DBU) as a base in aqueous solution or in water. The esterification reaction of PMAA with propargyl bromide (PB) proceeded very smoothly and quantitatively at 30°C to give corresponding poly(propargyl methacrylate), although the rate of the reaction decreased with increasing water. The reaction of PMAA with benzyl bromide, o-nitrobenzyl bromide, and p-nitrobenzyl bromide gave corresponding poly(methacrylic ester) using DBU under suitable reaction conditions in water. The esterification reactions of PMAA with PB were carried out using certain organic bases such as triethylamine, 4(N,N-dimethylamino)pyridine and pyridine. Inorganic bases such as sodium carbonate, sodium hydroxide, potassium carbonate, and potassium hydroxide were also tried under the same conditions as with DBU. However, the degrees of estrification with all these bases was much lower than that with DBU. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

A glass formation study of aqueous tetraalkylammonium nitrate solutions

The glass-forming composition regions of aqueous tetraalkylammonium nitrate solutions (alkyl = ethyl and n-propyl) were determined by a simple DTA method with a cooling rate of about 600 K-min^–1. The glass transition temperatures T_g of these solutions vary in a different manner from those for simple inorganic salt solutions such as aqueous LiCl, MgCl₂,and AlCl₃ solutions. Liquid-liquid immiscibilities are observed in these solutions at low temperatures.     

The Soret effect with chemical reaction in aqueous sulfuric acid solutions

The Soret coefficient of aqueous sulfuric acid has been determined conductimetrically from 0.0005 to 0.2m at 25°C. The derived enthalpies of transport increase sharply as the concentration drops, approaching a limiting value near 35 kJ-mol^–1. The increase, in the enthalpy of transport at low concentrations is due to the large intrinsic enthalpies of transport of the hydrogen and sulfate ions that are produced by the dissociation of bisulfate ions. The enthalpy of dissociation of the bisulfate ions reduces the acid's enthalpy of transport by up to 1.8 kJ-mol^–1.     

Lanthanide-fluoride ion association in aqueous sodium chloride solutions at 25°C

New results on lanthanide-fluoride ion association constants from potentiometric measurements in 1M NaCl at 25°C are presented for 13 lanthanide elements and compared with literature values. All data have been evaluated by taking two successive association steps into account and difluoro association constants are given where this is justified from the range of ligand numbers that could be reached before precipitation occurred. The lanthanide-monofluoride association constants may be arranged into several series usually referred to as the tetrad effect, and they show a maximum at Dy in the middle of the lanthanide series. Data on the ionic strength dependence of the lanthanide-monofluoride association constants in I=0.1, 0.5, 1.0, and 3.0M NaCl solutions for La, Nd, Tb, Er, and Lu are interpreted applying an extended Debye-Hückel formulation.
