Thermochemistry of aqueous solutions of alkylated nucleic acid bases. IX. Enthalpies of hydration of 9-methyl-8-alkyladenines and 6,9-dimethyl-8-alkyladenines

Enthalpies of solution in water, H _sol ^o , and enthalpies of sublimation, H _sub ^o , were determined experimentally for a number of crystalline derivatives of adenine: 6,8,9-trimethyladenine; 6,9-dimethyl-8-ethyladenine; 6,9-dimethyl-8-propyladenine; 6,9-dimethyl-8-butyladenine; 8,9-dimethyl-adenine and 9-methyl-8-ethyladenine. Standard enthalpies of hydration, H _hydr ^o , derived from these data were calculated. The latter were discussed together with the values for variously alkylated adenines, determined previously. The data obtained show that the dependence of enthalpy of hydration on the number of methylene groups added upon substitution with 8-n-alkyl groups of 9-methyladenine and 6,9-dimethyladenine is nonlinear.     

Strain Energies of α-Alkylsubstituted Styrenes, 1,1-Di-phenyl-ethene,Tri-, and Tetra-phenyl-ethene

The standard (p° = 0.1 MPa) molar enthalpies of formation _fH°_m (1 or cr) at the temperature T = 298.15 K were determined by using combustion calorimetry for -ethyl-styrene (A), -iso-propyl-styrene (B), -tert-butyl-styrene (C), 1,1-di-phenyl-ethene (D), tri-phenyl-ethene (E), and tetra-phenyl-ethene (F). The standard molar enthalpies of vaporization _l ^g H°_m or sublimation _cr ^g H°_m of compounds A to F were obtained from the temperature variation of the vapor pressure measured in a flow system. Molar enthalpies of fusion _cr ^l H°_m of solid compounds were measured by d.s.c. Resulting values of _fH°_m (g) were obtained at the temperature T = 298.15 K and used to derive strain enthalpies of phenylalkenes. The interactions of the substituents are discussed in terms of deviations of _fH°_m (g)from the group additivity rules. These values provide a further improvement on the group-contribution methodology for estimation of the thermodynamic properties of organic compounds.     

Thermodynamic quantities for the protonation of amino acid amino groups from 323.15 to 398.15 K

Flow claorimetry has been used to study the interaction of protons with glycine, DL--alanine, -alanine, DL-2-aminobutyric acid, 4-aminobutyric acid, and 6-aminocaproic acid in aqueous solutions at temperatures from 323.15 to 398.15 K. By combining the measured heats for amino acid solutions titrated with NaOH solutions with the heat of ionization for water, the log K, H^o, S^o, and C_p ^o values for the protonation of the amino groups of these amino acids have been obtained at each temperature studied. Equations are given expressing these values as functions of temperature. The H^o and S^o values increase while log K values decrease as temperacture increases. The trends for log K, H^o, S^o, and C_p ^o are discussed in terms of changes in long-range and short-range solvent effects. The trend in H^o, S^o, and C_p ^o values with temperature and with charge separation in the zwitterions is interpreted in terms of solvent-solute interactions and the electrostatic interaction between the two oppositely charged groups within the molecule.     

Conductimetric determination of ion-association constants for calcium,cobalt, zinc,and cadmium sulfates in aqueous solutions at various temperatures between 0°C and 45°C

Thermodynamic ion-association constants for calcium, cobalt, zinc, and cadmium sulfates in aqueous solutions were determined by means of conductivity measurements at various temperatures between 0°C and 45°C. The standard Gibbs energy, enthalpy, and entropy for the reaction M ²⁺ +SO ₄ ^2– M ²⁺ ·SO ₄ ^2– (M=Ca, Co, Zn, and Cd) were calculated from the temperature dependence of the ion-association constants. The values obtained are as follows: G ₂₉₈ ^o =–12.42 kJ-mole ^–1 , H ^o =6.11 kJ-mole ^–1 , and S ₂₉₈ ^o =62.1 J- ^o K ^–1 -mole ^–1 for Ca ²⁺ ·SO ₄ ^2– ; G ₂₉₈ ^o =–12.84 kJ-mole ^–1 , H ^o =5.00 kJ-mole ^–1 , and S ₂₉₈ ^o =59.8 J- ^o K ^–1 -mole^–1 for Co ²⁺ ·SO ₄ ^2– ; G ₂₉₈ ^o =–12.65 kJ-mole ^–1 , H ^o =8.65 kJ-mole ^–1 , and S ₂₉₈ ^o =71.4 J- ^o K ^–1 -mole ^–1 for Zn ²⁺ ·SO ₄ ^2– ; G ₂₉₈ ^o =–13.28 kJ-mole ^–1 , H ^o =8.39 kJ-mole ^–1 , and S ₂₉₈ ^o =72.7 J- ^o K ^–1 -mole ^–1 for Cd ²⁺ ·SO ₄ ^2– .     

Determination of enthalpy of ionization of water from 250 to 350° C

The enthalpy changes at zero ionic strength (H°) for the ionization of water (H₂O=H⁺+OH^–) were determined by flow calorimetry from the heats of mixing of aqueous NaOH and HCl solutions in the temperature range 250 to 350°C. Pitzer ion-interaction models developed by other workers were used to calculate enthalpies of dilution of aqueous NaOH, HCl, and NaCl solutions for the extrapolation of H values from the conditions of the experiment to infinite dilution. Equations are derived for thermodynamic quantities (log K, H°, S°, C _p ^° and V°) for the ionization of water using the H° values determined in this study from 250 to 350°C and literature log K and H° values from 0 to 225°C. Smoothed values of log K, H°, S°, C _p ^° , and V° are presented at rounded temperatures from 0 to 350°C and at the saturation pressure of water for each temperature. The equations in the present study provide a better representation of experimental thermodynamic data from 0 to 350°C than the Marshall-Franck equation.     

Kinetics of the solvolysis oftrans-dichlorotetra-(4-t-butylpyridine)-cobalt(III) ions in water +t-butyl alcohol mixtures

Rates of solvolysis of the complex cation [Co(4tBupy)₄Cl₂]⁺ have been determined in mixtures of water with the hydrophobic solvent, t-butyl alcohol. The solvent composition at which the extremum is found in the variation of the enthalpy H^* and the entropy S^* of activation correlates well with the extremum in the variation of the relative partial molar volume of t-butyl alcohol in the mixture and the straight line found for the variation of H^* with S^* is coincident with the same plot for water + 2-propanol mixtures. A free energy cycle is applied to the process initial state (C ⁿ⁺) going to the transition state [M⁽ⁿ⁺¹⁾⁺...Cl^–] in water and in the mixture using free energies of transfer of the individual ionic species, G _t ^o (i), from water into the mixture. Values for G _t ^o (i) are derived from the solvent sorting method and from the TATB/TPTB method: using data from either method, changes in solvent structure on going from water into the mixture are found to stabilize the cation in the transition state, M⁽ⁿ⁺¹⁾⁺, more than in the initial state, C ⁿ⁺. This is compared with the application of the free energy cycle to the solvolysis of complexes [Co(Rpy)₄Cl₂]⁺ and [Coen₂LCl]⁺ in mixtures of water with methanol, 2-propanol or t-butyl alcohol: the above conclusion regarding the relative stabilization of the cations holds for all these complexes in their solvolyses in water+alcohol mixtures using values of G _t ^o (Cl^–) from either source.     

Thermochemistry of aqueous solutions of alkylated nucleic acid bases. VIII. Enthalpies of hydration of 6-alkyluracils

Enthalpies of solution in water H _sol ^o and enthalpies of sublimation H _sub ^o were determined for a number of crystalline derivatives of uracil: 1,6-dimethyluracil (m ₂ ^1,6 Ura), 1,3,6-trimethyluracil (m ₃ ^1,3,6 Ura), 6-ethyl-1,3-dimethyluracil (e⁶m ₂ ^1,3 Ura), 6-propyl-1,3-dimethyluracil (pr⁶m ₂ ^1,3 Ura) and 6-butyl-1,3-dimethyluracil (but⁶m ₂ ^1,3 Ura). Standard enthalpies of hydration H _hydr ^o and standard enthalpies of interaction H _int ^o of the solutes with their hydration shells were calculated. The data obtained show that dependence of H _int ^o on the number of-CH₂- groups of n-alkyl chain added upon substitution of diketopyrimidine ring is nonlinear. This finding is discussed in connection with results of X-ray diffraction structure determinations for the crystalline compounds.     

Heats of solution of 1∶1 electrolytes in 1-propanol,and derived enthalpies of transfer from water

Heats of solution of 13 11 electrolytes in 1-propanol have been determined calorimetrically at various electrolyte concentrations, and extrapolated to zero concentration to give H _s ^o values for these electrolytes. Together with literature data on three additional 11 electrolytes, these measurements yield a self-consistent set of single-ion enthalpies of transfer from water to 1-propanol. Values are tabulated for 10 univalent cations and five univalent anions. It is shown that the H _t ^o (Ph ₄ As⁺)=H _t ^o (Ph ₄ B^–) assumption yields chemically reasonable single-ion values. Using this assumption, it may be deduced that all the univalent ions studied have about the same enthalpy in 1-propanol as in methanol.     

Rates of Dissociative Ionic Reactions in Aqueous Mixtures Correlated with Opposing Gibbs Energies of Transfer of Single Ions: Solvolysis of Chloropentacyanocobaltate(III) Anions in Water + Ethanol and Water + Urea

The kinetics of the solvolysis of Co(CN)₅Cl^3– have been investigated in water with an added structure former, ethanol, and with added urea, which has only a weak effect on the solvent structure. As this solvolysis involves a rate-determining dissociative step corresponding closely to a 100%; separation, Co³⁺ Cl^-, in the transition state, a Gibbs energy cycle relating Gibbs energies of activation in water and in the mixtures to Gibbs energies of transfer of individual ionic species between water and the mixtures, G _t ^o (i), can be applied. The acceleration of the reaction found with both these cosolvents results from the compensation of the retarding positive G _t ^o (Cl^- by the negative term [G _t ^o [Co(CN) ₅ ^2- ]-G _t ^o [Co(CN)₅Cl^3- arising from G _t ^o [Co(CN)₅Cl^3-]> G _t ^o [Co(CN) ₅ ^2- ]. Moreover, only a small tendency to extrema in the enthalpies and entropies of activation is found with both these cosolvents, as was also found with added methanol or ethane-1,2-diol, but unlike the extrema found when hydrophobic alcohols are added to water. With the latter, much greater negative values for G _t ^o [Co(CN) ₅ ^2- ]- _t ^o [Co(CN)₅Cl^3-] are found. When G G _t ^o [Co(CN) ₅ ^2- ]-G G _t ^o [CO(CN)₅Cl^3-] becomes low enough not to compensate for the positive G _t ^o (Cl^-), as with added hydrophilic glucose, the reaction is retarded. Compensating contributions of the various G _t ^o (i) involved in the Gibbs energy cycle with added methanol or ethane-1, 2-diol allow log (rate constant) to vary linearly with the reciprocal of the relative permittivity of the medium.     

Gibbs Energy and Entropy of Mixing in the NaNO2-KNO3 System

The activity and activity coefficients of the components of the NaNO₂-KNO₃ system, determined from the experimental data on the saturated vapor pressure at 798, 823, and 848 K, are used to calculate the relative and excess partial molar Gibbs energies (G _i and G _i ^{e x c}), entropies (S _i and S _i ^{e x c}), and integral relative and excess thermodynamic functions (G, G ^{e x c}, S, and S ^{e x c}) of the system.     

Thermodynamics of protonation of amino acid carboxylate groups from 50 to 125°C

Flow calorimetry has been used to study the interaction of glycine, DL--alanine, DL-2-aminobutyric acid, -alanine, 4-aminobutyric acid, and 6-aminocaproic acid with protons in aqueous solutions from 323.15 K to 398.15 K and at 1.52 MPa. LogK, H°, S°, and C _p ^° for the protonation of the carboxylate groups of these amino acids have been obtained at each temperature studied. Equations are given expressing these values as functions of temperature. The protonation reactions are exothermic at lower temperatures and become endothermic as temperature increases. The logK, H°, and S° values are close together over the temperature range studied for the protonation of -amino acids, i.e., glycine, DL--alanine, and 2-aminobutyric acid. At each temperature, the magnitudes of these thermodynamic quantities increase as the number of methylene groups between the amino group and the carboxylate group increases. The C _p ^° value for the protonation of the carboxyl group is found to lie between those of an isocoulombic reaction and a charge reduction reaction. At 323.15 K, the protonation reactions of the carboxylate groups have larger C _p ^° values which approach those associated with charge reduction reactions. As the temperature increases, C _p ^° decreases and approaches those found for isocoulombic reactions. This result is explained by considering long-range and short-range solvent effects. The trend in H° and S° with temperature and with charge separation in the zwitterions is interpreted in terms of solvent-solute interactions and the electrostatic interaction of the two oppositely charged groups within the molecule.     

Influence of temperature on the micellization of sodium dodecylsulfate in water from speed of sound measurements

Speed of sound measurements for aqueous solutions of sodium dodecylsulfate (NaDS) have been carried out from 20 to 45°C at intervals of 5°C. The critical micellar concentrations (cmc) were determined and their change with temperature is discussed. A second change in the speed of sound has been found between 15 to 20mM for temperatures above 20°C. Values for G _m ^o , H _m ^o and S _m ^o for the micellization process have been determined and compared with data previously obtained from other experimental properties. These results confirm that the micellization process of NaDS in water is mainly entropically driven.     

The position of plutonium/III/ in the lanthanide series in respect to thermodynamic functions of complex formation with nitrates and thiocyanates

The position of Pu/III/ within lanthanides in respect to G⁰, H⁰ and S⁰ of complex formation with nitrate and thiocyanate ligands was determined by the extraction method. It was found that in respect to G⁰, Pu/III/ is a light pseudolanthanide for nitrate ligands and a heavy pseudolanthanide for thiocyanate ligands. A comparison of the positions of Pu/III/ and Am/III/ in respect to G⁰, H⁰ and S⁰ shows that the radius of plutonium is greater than that of americium in the An/NO₃/ ₅ ^2– complex and smaller in the An/NCS/₃/TBP/_n complex. The increase in the radii between plutonium and americium in the thiocyanate complex points out to a contribution from 5f orbitals to bonding.     

Ionic enthalpies of transfer from water to water-sulfolane mixtures

NaCl, NaBr, NaI, NaClO₄, KCl, KClO₄, NaBPh₄, and Ph₄PBr solution enthalpies were measured in water-sulfolane mixtures at 30°C. Ionic enthalpies of transfer from water to mixed solvents were calculated on the basis of the assumption H _s ^o (BPh ₄ ^– )=H _s ^o (Ph₄P⁺). The variation of the ionic enthalpies of transfer with solvent composition is discussed in terms of ion-solvent interactions and of the effects caused by sulfolane on the structure of water.     

Enthalpies of solution of thymine and uracil in water and dimethylsulfoxide

Enthalpies of solution of thymine and uracil in water and in dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) were measured calorimetrically in the temperature range 25–40°C. H _s ^o at 25°C for thymine and uracil in water were found to be 23.1±0.5 and 29.5±0.3 kJ-mol^–1, respectively. In DMSO, H _s ^o were 7.9±0.1 and 10.2±0.1 kJ-mol^–1, respectively. In aqueous solution C _p ^o for the two nucleic acid bases were relatively large and positive with C _p ^o of thymine being larger. Both transfer quantities H _t ^o and C _p,t ^o for the proceses H₂ODMSO for the two nucleic acid bases were negative. It is proposed that, the differences in the values obtained for the two bases is due principally to increased order in the water adjacent to the methyl group in thymine.     

Enthalpy of solution of carbohydrates using a modified differential scanning calorimeter

A differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) was modified for the determination of enthalpies of solution. The measurements were performed on aqueous solutions of the deoxy- and fluoro-deoxy derivatives of D-glucopyranose (Glu) where the OH group on the C1, C2, C3, and C6 is replaced by H (1HGlu, 2HGlu, 3HGlu, and 6HGlu) and by F (1FGlu, 2FGlu, 3FGlu, and 6FGlu), 4-deoxy 4-fluoro--D-glucopyranoside (4FGlu), 1-methoxy--D-glucopyranoside (MeOGlu), 1-phenoxy--D-glucopyranoside (PheOGlu), D-mannopyranose (Man), and 3-methoxy--D-glucopyranoside (3MeOGlu), at 15.1, 25.0, 35.0, and 45.1°C. The enthalpies of solution _sH⁰(T) ranged from 1.00±0.25 kJ-mol^–1 for 6HGlu at 15.1°C to 20.4±1.4 for PhOGlu at 45.1°C and were in good agreement with literature values for Man, Glu, MeOGlu, and 3MeOGlu at 25.0 and 35.0°C and for MeOMan and 2HGlu at 35.0°C. _sH⁰(T) for the derivatives were then extrapolated up to the melting temperature T_m and compared with their enthalpies of fusion, _fH also determined from DSC measurements. If the agreement between _sH⁰(T_m) and _fH was within the 95% confidence level, then it was concluded that intermolecular interactions between the carbohydrate molecules in the liquid phase were the same as between the carbohydrate and water molecules in the solution phase. This agreement was observed for aqueous solutions of Man, Glu, MeOGlu, 3HGlu, 3FGlu, and 6FGlu.     

The Influence of Dimerization of Water-Soluble Metalloporphyrins as Photosensitizers on the Efficiency of Generation of Singlet Oxygen

Quantum yields () for the generation of singlet oxygen sensitized by Pd(II) complexes of water-soluble porphyrins: meso-tetrakis(4-N-methylpyridyl)porphine [PdTMPyP]⁴⁺ ( = 0.9), meso-tetrakis(4-N,N,N-trimethylaminophenyl)porphine [PdTTMAPP]⁴⁺ ( = 0.8), meso-tetrakis(4-carboxyphenyl)porphine [PdTCPP]^4– ( = 0.7), and meso-tetrakis(4-sulfonatophenyl)porphine [PdTSPP]^4– ( = 0.5) were determined using a chemical method. It was found that the dimerization and aggregation of metalloporphyrins greatly influence the value. The quantum yields evaluated for the formation of singlet oxygen sensitized by metalloporphyrin monomeric and dimeric forms are _{, M} 0.9 and _{, D} 0.2, respectively, and do not depend on the porphyrin nature.     

Determination of kinetic parameters of the FeCl3/FeCl2 systemvia a novel treatment of chronoamperometric data

Summary Computer based methods for the processing of chronoamperometric datavia convolutions are discussed. On the example of the quasi-reversible Fe³⁺/Fe²⁺ couple, their application for data acquisition and determination of the heterogeneous electrochemical parameters is demonstrated. The plot of Q/i vs. t/i is superior to that employingi/I ₁, being less sensitive to distortions by charging currents once these have died away and by the effects of damping on the initially rapidly varying currents. Cyclic voltammetry is often combined with convolution or deconvolution, and digital simulation studies are also frequently performed to confirm the results.

Bestimmung kinetischer Parameter des Systems FeCl₃/FeCl₂ mittels einer neuen Verarbeitung chronoamperometrischer Daten

Zusammenfassung Computerunterstützte Verfahren zur Verarbeitung chronoamperometrischer Daten mittels Faltungsintegralen werden diskutiert. Am Beispiel des quasireversiblen Systems Fe³⁺/Fe²⁺ wird die Anwendung der neuen Methoden zur Datenerfassung und zur Bestimmung der heterogenen elektrochemischen Parameter gezeigt. Der Plot von Q/i gegen t/i ist dem voni/I ₁ überlegen, da er durch Ladeströme und Dämpfung der ursprünglich stark variierenden Ströme weniger stark beeinflußt wird. Cyclische Voltammetrie wird häufig im Zusammenhang mit Konvolutions- und Dekonvolutionsmethoden angewandt; digitale Simulation zur Überprüfung der Ergebnisse wird ebenfalls oft eingesetzt.

     

First and second thermodynamic mixing properties of ethylbenzene +n-alkanes: Experimental and theory

Isobaric expansibilities _P and isothermal compressibilities _T have been determined at 25 and 45°C for binary mixtures of ethylbenzene + n-tetradecane and + n-hexadecane and the corresponding excess functions (V ^E /T)_P and (V ^E /P)_T have also been obtained. With these data and supplementary literature values, the following second order mixing properties are also reported at 25°C: _S ^E , (V ^E /P)_T, C_V and (VT). All mixing quantities have been compared with the results obtained at 25°C by using the Prigogine-Flory-Patterson theory of liquid mixtures. The predicted values suggest that the ability of ethylbenzene as a breaker of the pure n-C_n orientations is similar to what we found for toluene and higher than for p-xylene.     

Model calculations of changes of thermodynamic variables for the transfer of nonpolar solutes from water to water-d2

A recently introduced modified hydration shell hydrogen bond model for rationalizing the thermodynamic consequences of hydrophobic hydration is adapted for use with heavy water. The required adjustment of parameters employs the assumption that breaking hydrogen bonds in water-d₂ involves a greater enthalpy change and a larger entropy increase than bond breaking in ordinary water. It also makes some use of information derived from studies of gas solubilities in the two solvents, although a review of the data leads to serious questions about the reliability of results obtained in this way. The model permits calculations of hydrogen bonding contributions to the changes, G _t ^o , H _t ^o , S _t ^o , and C _p,t ^o , for transfer of nonpolar solutes from water to water-d₂ and implies that such data should show regular trends. Although some of the numerical results depend strongly on the values chosen for the parameters, the pattern defined by these trends is nearly independent of parameters. Predicted values of C _p,t ^o are large and positive for all nonpolar solutes, while S _t ^o is expected to be negative near 0°C, becoming progressively less negative on warming and eventually positive. Both of these quantities should be proportional to the molecular surface area of the solute. Analogous predictions regarding G _t ^o and H _t ^o can also be made, but only if it is permissible to neglect possible contributions to these quantities from van der Waals interactions.
