Structural contribution to the effect of hydrophobic hydration of noble gases

Within the concepts of structurally-thermodynamic characteristics of solvation and pseudo-chemical potential, the sample collection of the most authentic experimental data on solubility of gaseous He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe, and Rn in H₂O and D₂O is analysed at ≈0.1 MPa and T = 278–318 K. The conclusion is drawn that at deuteration of water molecules and also with increasing molar mass of noble gas, the relative contribution of effect of its hydrophobic hydration decreases. However in case of pass from lightweight noble gases (He, Ne, Ar) to heavy ones (Kr, Xe, Rn), structural transformations in their aqueous solutions become more expressed as a whole due to strengthening interaction between dissolved substance and solvent.     

Volumetric properties of mixtures of water and methanol H/D-isotopomers between 5 and 45°C

Densities of H/D-isotopomers mixtures of water (H₂O, D₂O) and methanol (CH₃OH, CD₃OH, CH₃OD, and CD₃OD) over the full range of compositions were measured at 5, 15, 25, 35, and 45°C. Results have been used to calculate molar volumes, excess molar volumes, apparent molar volumes, and isotope effects of the mixtures. The volumetric properties are discussed in terms of the structural changes in water-methanol solutions under the influence of isotope substitution.     

Effect of H/D isotope substitution on polarizability of methanol molecules

The electron polarizabilities (α₀·10²⁴/cm³ molec.⁻¹) were estimated from the data on refractive indices and molar volumes of H/D isotopomers of methanol at 25 °C using the Lorentz-Lorentz formula: 3.265 (CH₃OH), 3.260 (CH₃OD), 3.235 (CD₃OH), and 3.231 (CD₃OD). A relationship between the isotope effects for α₀ and volume (packing) changes in the structure of liquid methanol induced by deuterosubstitution in the methanol molecule was proposed. __________ Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Structural Peculiarities of Dioxane Media in H/D Isotope Effects of Water Solvation at 288.15K-318.15K

Using the data of precision densimetry measurements for diluted solutions of H₂O and D₂O in 1,4-dioxane (1,4-DX) at 288.15 K-318.15 K we calculated the limiting partial molar volumes of the H/D isotopomers of water in dioxane and the excess molar volumes of the stated systems. The water molecules dispersed in 1,4-DX form complexes H-bonded into associates whose packing coefficient slightly exceeds that of the structural aggregates in liquid H₂O and D₂O. It is concluded that the structure of 1,4-DX is loosened and concomitantly undergoes volume expansion caused by the water microimpurities. The differentiating temperature effect on the volume solvation effects of H₂O and D₂O in 1,4-DX has been found.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2004 by. E. V. Ivanov, E. Yu. Lebedeva, and V. K.

Lower critical solution temperature and hydrophobic hydration in aqueous polymer solutions

Phase diagrams of aqueous solutions of poly(N-vinyl caprolactam) (PVCL), N-vinyl caprolactam copolymer with vinylamine (3.8 mol%) (CP(VCL-VA)), and poly(N-vinyl propylacetamide) (PVPA) were shown to be binodal curves with lower critical solution temperatures (LCST) in the range 304–313.5 K and critical concentrations in the range of 0.02–0.08 polymer weight fraction. Aqueous solutions of N-vinyl caprolactam copolymer with N-vinyl pyrrolidone (80 mol%) (CP(VCL-VP)) remained homogeneous in the entire region of the liquid state of water. The enthalpy of mixing with water of PVPA and CP(VCL-VP) was negative and the curve was concave over the entire range of composition at 298 and 308 K. The excessive heat capacity and partial heat capacity at infinite dilution of PVPA were positive, proving the hydrophobic character of hydration of this polymer. In contrast, these parameters were negative for CP(VCL-VP), revealing hydrophilic hydration. Hydrophilic hydration was predominant in solutions which were homogeneous over a wide temperature range, whereas hydrophobic hydration predominated in solution of polymers with LCST.     

Influence of the size of fixed-rigidity spheres on the structural and energy characteristics of hydrophobic hydration

Monte Carlo simulations of molecular configurations of aqueous solutions of spherical particles with a special potential of solute—water interaction were carried out. The influence of the particle size on the properties of hydration shells was investigated. Two regimes of hydrophobic hydration with a crossover point at 0.4 nm were found. Hydration of smaller particles causes insignificant changes in the properties of water. Particles larger than 0.4 nm break the liquid water structure. Breaking effects are more pronounced in the first hydration shell of particles. Dewetting of hard sphere surfaces predicted by the LCW phenomenological theory has peculiarities in the case of hydration of fixed-rigidity spheres. Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

A neutron inelastic scattering investigation of the diffusion kinetics of H2O molecules and hydration complexes in concentrated ionic solutions

Intermolecular frequencies of H₂O's and the diffusion kinetics have been investigated by neutron inelastic scattering for concentrated ionic solutions containing small and/or multiply charged cations (e.g., Cr⁺³, Mg⁺², Ca⁺², and Li⁺¹). As higher concentrations are approached such that the majority of H₂O's are in hydration layers, their exchange time can exceed the neutron interaction time. Then the diffusion kinetics depart functionally from activated reorientations of individual H₂O's characteristic of lower concentrations and evolve to continuous diffusion processes of hydration complexes characterized by small self-diffusion coefficients. The general features of the observed evolution in the functionality of the diffusion kinetics are found to be functionally consistent with an approximate model which includes contributions from the delayed diffusional exchange of individual H₂O's as well as the continuous diffusion of hydrated ions. At a given concentration, the temperature interval over which this evolution in functionality occurs increases both with increasing strength of the primary cation-H₂O coordination and with anion basicity. Further, as the temperature decreases, frequencies of defined cation-water hydration complexes gradually sharpen in a continuous manner, showing no abrupt variations at glass transitions. Anions of increasing basicity decrease the self-diffusion coefficients of the ion-water complexes and perturbed frequencies characteristic of cation-water hydration complexes. Such anion effects, at high concentrations, correspond to an increasing degree of time-average indirect or direct ion pairing with increasing anion basicity. This results, in turn, both in a distortion or partial disruption of the cation hydration sheaths and in a degree of coupling and/or bridging between anions and hydrated cations so as to increase the effective masses and friction coefficients associated with their diffusional motions.     

Parameters of the interaction between components; structural and hydrophobic effects in systems water-ethylene glycol-n-butyl alcohol and water-ethanol-xenon at 248–348 K

At 298.15 K the interaction parameters have been determined in six ternary systems: water-alcohol (MeOH, EtOH, EG (ethylene-glycol))-the dissolved substance (PrOH, BuOH, Xe). It is found for the coefficients of pair interactions that h ₂₃(EG-BuOH) = h ₂₃(MeOH-BuOH), c ₂₃(EG-BuOH) ? c ₂₃(MeOH-BuOH) < 0. Interactions become more hydrophobic in a series: EG-BuOH ≈ EG-Xe < MeOH-PrOH < MeOH-BuOH≤EtOH-Xe < EtOH-PrOH. For two systems the interaction parameters are defined in an interval 248–348 K. Temperature dependence of enthalpy and heat capacity coefficients of pair interactions, thermal capacity of transfer, an excess heat capacity and their constituents is discussed.     

Gelation of micellar solutions of diblock-copoly (oxyethylene/oxybutylene) in aqueous K2SO4. An investigation of excluded volume effects

The micellization and gelation properties of oxyethylene/oxybutylene diblock copolymers E₄₀B₁₀ and E₄₁B₈ in aqueous K₂SO₄ solutions were investigated. The thermodynamic and hydrodynamic volumes of the micelles in salt solutions of various concentrations up to 0.4 mol dm^?3 were determined by static and dynamic light scattering, respectively. The related changes in the gelation behavior of concentrated micellar solutions of the copolymers were explained as thermodynamic (excluded) volume effects. The thermodynamic volumes of micelles measured in moderately concentrated solution were used successfully to predict the critical gel concentrations of concentrated solutions. ©1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Effect of H/D-isotope substitution on the solubility and solvation thermodynamics of krypton in methanol solutions of carbamide

The solubility of gaseous krypton in CO(NH₂)₂—CH₃OH (CD₃OH) and CO(ND₂)₂—CH₃OD solutions with carbamide concentrations of up to 1.5 solvomolality units (0.026 mole fractions) was measured at 278, 288, 298, 308, and 318 K and at a partial gas pressure of 101325 Pa. The thermodynamic functions of dissolution (solvation) of krypton and the standard Setchenov coefficients were calculated. The solvation of Kr molecules increases upon deuterium substitution and with an increase in the temperature and carbamide concentration. In these solutions, specific contacts between the carbamide and methanol molecules play the predominant role.     

IR-Spectroscopic investigation of the hydration of tetrabutylammonium bromide in methylene chloride

The concentration dependence of the H₂O spectra in solutions of tetrabutylammonium bromide Bu₄NBr in methylene chloride was investigated by IR-spectroscopy. At low salt and H₂O concentrations the equilibrium: Br _f ^– +HOH_fBr^–HOH dominates where f indicates free or not hydrogen-bonded Br^– and H₂O. With increasing salt content, Br^–H–O–HBr^– complexes are present in addition. At high salt and H₂O content, including the saturated aqueous Bu₄NBr solution, H-bonded cyclic dimers seem to be important.Presented at the sixth Italian meeting on Calorimetry and Thermal Analysis (AICAT) held in Naples.

Group contributions to the thermodynamic properties of non-ionic organic solutes in dilute aqueous solution

The thermodynamic properties G _h ^o,H _h ^o, and C _p,h ^oassociated with the transfer of non-ionic organic compounds from gas to dilute aqueous solution and the limiting partial molar properties C _p ^o ,2 and V₂ ² of these compounds in water are described through a simple scheme of group contributions. A distinction is made between groups made only of carbon and hydrogen, and functional groups i.e. groups containing at least one atom different from carbon and hydrogen. Each group is assigned a contribution, for each property, through a least squares procedure which utilizes only molecules containing at most one functional group. Finally, for compounds containing more than one functional group, correction parameters are evaluated as the differences between the experimental values and those calculated by means of the group contributions. The different behavior of hydrophilic compared with hydrophobic groups is discussed for the various properties. A rationale for the correction parameters, i.e. for the effects of the interactions among hydrophilic groups on the thermodynamic properties, is attempted.     

Effect of magnetic field on enthalpy of solution of KCl in water

The enthalpies of solution of potassium chloride (KCl) in water and magnetically treated water (magnetized water) have been measured at 298.15 K using a LKB-8700 precision solution calorimeter. From the experimental results, it was observed that the effect of magnetic field on the enthalpy of solution is measurable. This is probably due to the distortion of the hydrogen bond of water resulting from magnetic treatment.     

Global non-ideality effects in adsorption of organic substances from dilute aqueous solutions on activated carbon

Summary A method for the quantitative estimation of the global non-ideality of the adsorption of weak organic electrolytes on activated carbon from dilute aqueous solutions is presented. The method is based on the analysis of aGraham plot which reflects the adsorption isotherm deviations from ideality. Averaging these deviations over the whole range of adsorption, one gets a single value representing the global non-ideality of a system. The method also allows to estimate the contributions of heterogeneity and interactions in the adsorbed phase to the global non-ideality effect. The theoretical considerations are illustrated by some model calculations. The usefulness of the method is tested for experimental data of benzoic and salicyclic acid adsorption over a wide range ofpH and concentrations.

Globaler Effekt der Nicht-Idealität bei der Adsorption organischer Substanzen aus verdünnten wässerigen Lösungen an Aktivkohle

Zusammenfassung Es wird eine Methode zur quantitativen Abschätzung der globalen Nicht-Idealität für die Adsorption schwacher organischer Elektrolyte aus verdünnten wässerigen Lösungen an Aktivkohle vorgestellt. Diese Methode basiert auf der Analyse der bekanntenGraham-Abhängigkeit, die die Abweichung der Adsorptionsisotherme von der Idealität zeigt. Bei Errechnung des Durchschnittwertes dieser Abweichung über den ganzen Asorptionsbereich erhält man einen Wert, der die globale Nicht-Idealität für ein Adsorptionssystem charakterisiert. Die Methode erlaubt auch, den Beitrag der Heterogenität und der Wechselwirkungen in der Adsorptionsphase zum globalen Effekt der Nicht-Idealität abzuschätzen. Die theoretischen Erörterungen werden an Hand von Modellberechnungen illustriert. Die Nutzbarkeit der Methode wurde mit experimentellen Daten der Benzoe- und Salicylsäureadsorption in einem weiten Bereich vonpH und Konzentration getestet.

     

Investigation of salt — Mixed solvent systems. XXXVII. Crystallization enthalpy of lithium chloride in mixed solvent systems

The crystallization enthalpy of LiCl at 25°C in LiCl-H₂O-cosolvent systems is determined calorimetrically as a function of the cosolvent content in the mixed solvent. This parameter is used for the investigation of heat phenomena accompanying the solvation of the salt in a saturated solution. The cosolvents employed include methanol, acetone, and N,N-dimethylformamide. The most pronounced change is effected by replacement of water with N,N-dimethylformamide.     

Thermodynamic and magnetic resonance studies on the hydration of polymers: I. Interactions of water in a synthetic cation-exchange resin

Measurements of NMR spin-lattice relaxation times T ₁ were performed for sorbed H₂O and D₂O in a sulfonated ion-exchange resin at varying degrees of hydration with alkaline cations as counter ions. From the sorption isotherms at three different temperatures the partial molar enthalpies and entropies of sorption show a minimum for all alkaline cations at water concentrations of n 0.8, i.e., there are 0.8 water molecules per –SO ₃ ^– group. The first water molecules sorbed in the ion-exchange resin matrix are characterized by anisotrtopic rotational diffusion processes with correlation times of the order of ₁ 50 ns and ₂ 30 ps, respectively. This indicates that they are located in the electrostatic field between the corresponding ion pair. Although these two correlation times are very similar at a given temperature for all alkaline cations studied in the present investigation, the existence of a second spin-lattice relaxation time for sorbed H₂O at n=0.8 indicates that for Cs about 50% of the sorbed water diffuses between locations in the resin. This fraction decreases with ionic radii and with falling temperatures. For Li the amount is less than 20%.     

Determination of the solubility,dissolution enthalpy and entropy of R-(+)-2-(4-hydroxyphenoxy) propanic acid in different solutions

The solubilities of R-(+)-2-(4-hydroxyphenoxy) propanic acid in acetone, ethyl acetate, acetonitrile, glycol ether, DMF, MIBK, n-butyl alcohol, THF and pyridine were measured at temperatures ranging from 273.15 K to 323.15 K at atmospheric pressure using a laser detecting system. First, the solubility data of R-(+)-2-(4-hydroxyphenoxy) propanic acid in selected solution were compared by the solubility parameter. Then, the solubility data were correlated by the Buchowski–Ksiazczak λh equation and modified Apelblat equation. Compared with the Apelblat equation, the Buchowski–Ksiazczak λh equation can fit the solubility data well. The dissolution enthalpy, entropy and Gibbs free energy of R-(+)-2-(4-hydroxyphenoxy) propanic acid were predicted by the van’t Hoff and Gibbs equation.     

The hydration of the uranyl dication: Incorporation of solvent effects in parallel density functional calculations with the program PARAGAUSS

The parallel density functional program PARA GAUSS has been extended by a tool for computing solvent effects based on the conductor‐like screening model (COSMO). The molecular cavity in the solvent is constructed as a set of overlapping spheres according to the GEPOL algorithm. The cavity tessellation scheme and the resulting set of point charges on the cavity surface comply with the point group symmetry of the solute. Symmetry is exploited to reduce the computational effort of the solvent model. To allow an automatic geometry optimization including solvent effects, care has been taken to avoid discontinuities due to the discretization (weights of tesserae, number of spheres created by GEPOL). In this context, an alternative definition for the grid points representing the tesserae is introduced. In addition to the COSMO model, short‐range solvent effects are taken into account via a force field. We apply the solvent module to all‐electron scalar‐relativistic density functional calculations on uranyl, UO₂²⁺, and its aquo complexes in aqueous solution. Solvent effects on the geometry are very small. Based on the model [UO₂(H₂O)₅]²⁺, the solvation energy of uranyl is estimated to be about ?400 kcal/mol, in agreement with the range of experimental data. The major part of the solvation energy, about ?250 kcal/mol, is due to a donor–acceptor interaction associated with a coordination shell of five water ligands. One can interpret this large solvation energy also as a compounded effect of an effective reduction of the uranyl moiety plus a solvent polarization. The energetic effect of the structure relaxation in the solution is only about 8 kcal/mol. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Int J Quantum Chem, 2001     

Coordination polyhedra of hydration shells of Na+ and K+ cations in aqueous solutions

Simulation of the hydration of Na⁺ and K⁺ cations in dilute solution was performed by the Monte Carlo method. A novel approach to structural analysis of hydration shells of ions was developed. Specific sets of coordination polyhedra formed by water molecules of the first coordination sphere were found. Structural and energy characteristics of hydration were calculated. The effect of Na⁺ and K⁺ cations on the structure of the network of H-bonds and mobility of water molecules in hydration shells was studied. Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.
