New Spectrophotometric Method for the Determination of Titanium in Soil and Standard Geochemical Samples

Abstract

In the present communication a simple and rapid spectrophotometric method for the determination of titanium is described. The method is based on the reaction of Ti(IV) with a newly synthesized reagent, 6-(4-nitrophenylazo)-3,4,5-trihydroxy benzoic acid (NATHB), in ethanol medium at pH 3.2 to 4.2. The complex exhibits an absorption maximum at 495 nm and Beer's law is valid over the range of 0.04 – 1.00 μg.ml^?1 Ti. The molar absorptivity is 3.48 × 10⁴ dm³.mole^?1. cm^?1. Most of the foreign metal ions and anions do not produce any colorations with NATHB at selected conditions. Based on these results, a simple and direct spectrophotometric method with high selectivity and sensitivity was proposed. The method has been successfully applied for the determination of titanium in 5 soil and 3 standard geochemical samples.     

DFT study of the structure of hydroxybenzoic acids and their reactions with OH and radicals

B3LYP/6-31++G(d) method was used for the structural study of 3,4,5-trihydroxybenzoic acid (3,4,5-THBA), 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid (3,4-DHBA), and 4-hydroxybenzoic acid (4-HBA). Calculated structures agree with available X-ray experimental data within 2%. The phenolic OH bond dissociation enthalpy (BDE) of all sites in each benzoic acid were determined and compared with those of phenol (for 4-HBA) and catechol (for 3,4-DHBA). The consistency between the calculated values and experimental ones are within 5.4% and 9.2%, respectively, for 4-HBA and 3,4-DHBA. The reactions of benzoic acids with and OH radicals were studied and it turns out that benzoic acids react differently with both radicals. We have shown that the reaction of hydroxybenzoic acids with the hydroxyl radical was governed by a phenolic hydrogen (H⁺ + e⁻) transfer from the acid to the radical, while for the superoxide radical, the reaction is governed by a proton (H⁺) transfer from the acid to the radical. The first reaction is evidenced by the delocalization of the radical on the entire quinone moiety, and the second reaction is evidenced by the negative NBO charge on the phenoxide moiety as well as the localization of the radical on the hydroperoxy (O₂H) moiety.

Side group functionalized liquid crystalline polymers and blends VIII. Nematic and SmAre phase formation in hydrogen-bonded blends of smectic side group LC polymers and a low molar mass dopant

Hydrogen-bonded blends based on smectic side group functionalized LC copolymers containing 4-alkyloxybenzoic acid fragments (proton donor) and a non-mesogenic low molecular mass dopant 4-cyanophenyl pyridine-4-carboxylate or 4-methoxyphenyl-d₄ pyridine-4-carboxylate (proton acceptor) were obtained. The blends containing 10-35 mol % of low molecular weight dopant form nematic (I-N-SmA) or re-entrant SmA phases (I-SmA-N-SmAre). The temperature dependence of the order parameter S, the birefringence Δn, and the splay K ₁ and bend K ₃ elastic constants of the nematic phase were studied by ²H NMR spectroscopy and the Fréedericksz method of threshold transitions in a magnetic field. A mechanism for the destruction of the SmA phase and the formation of the nematic phase in the hydrogen-bonded blends is suggested.

Calculation of the enthalpies of formation and proton affinities of some isoquinoline derivatives

Ab initio molecular orbital theory has been used to calculate enthalpies of formation of isoquinoline, 1-hydroxyisoquinoline, 5-hydroxyisoquinoline, and 1,5-dihydroxyisoquinoline as well as some pyridine and quinoline derivatives. The proton affinities of the four isoquinoline derivatives were also obtained. The high-level composite methods G3(MP2), G3(MP2)//B3LYP, G3//B3LYP, and CBS-QB3 have been used for this study, and the results have been compared with available experimental values. For six of the eight studied compounds, the theoretical enthalpies of formation were very close to the experimental values (to within 4.3 kJ · mol⁻¹); where comparison was possible, the theoretical and experimental proton affinities were also in excellent agreement with one another. However, there is an extraordinary discrepancy between theory and experiment for the enthalpies of formation of 1-hydroxyisoquinoline and 1,5-dihydroxyisoquinoline, suggesting that the experimental values for these two compounds should perhaps be re-examined. We also show that popular low cost computational methods such as B3LYP and MP2 show very large deviations from the benchmark values.     

对三氟甲基苯甲酸和2，2′-联吡啶双核铽配合物的合成、晶体结构及发光性质

A new dinuclear complex [Tb₂(BA)₆(2,2′-bipy)₂] (BA=4-(trifluoromethyl)benzoic acid, 2,2′-bipy=2,2′-bipyridine) has been synthesized. The complex was characterized by X-ray single-crystal structure analysis. The complex is a dimer with an inversion center. In the complex, two Tb3+ ions are linked by four carboxylate groups of BA ligands in bridging-bidentate coordination mode. Each Tb³⁺ ion is eight-coordinated with two nitrogen atoms from one 2,2′-bipy molecule, four oxygen atoms from four bridging-bidentate BA ligands and two oxygen atoms from one chelating-bidentate BA ligand. Intermolecular hydrogen bonds are formed in the crystal. The complex exhibits strong green fluorescence under ultraviolet light and the fluorescence spectrum consists of four lines peaking at 489, 545, 584 and 620 nm, which are corresponding to the ⁵D₄→⁷F_j (j=6～3) transitions of Tb³⁺ ion, respectively.

LB膜中NMOB分子构象的研究

利用DFTB3LYP/4-31G^*方法,对2-硝基-5-(N-甲基-N-十八烷基)氨基苯甲酸(NMOB)进行研究。计算结果发现,苯环的5位碳原子、氨基氮原子以及十八烷基链上与其最临近的两个碳原子所组成的两面角(D)约为90ⅲ时,NMOB有最稳构象,在NMOB自交替膜中,NMOB即以这种构象存在;而D=180ⅲ时,体系总能量较最稳构象高出31.57kJ/mol,这种构象存在于NMOB/花生酸镉(CdA)交替膜中,较小的能量差异使NMOB容易在两种构象之间进行转化,在NMOB/花生酸镉(CdA)交替膜中因受到花生酸直立构象紧密排列的诱导作用,NMOB分子以能量相对较高的构象存在。

1D Lanthanide Coordination Polymers Based on 3-（Pyridin-4,yl）benzoic Acid： Syntheses, Structures and Luminescent Properties

Four novel 1D lanthanide coordination polymers with formula [Ln(3,4-pybz)3(H2O)2· H2O]n (Ln = 1 Sm; 2 Eu; 3 Tb; 4 Dy, 3,4-Hpybz = 3-(pyridin-4-yl)benzoic acid) have been synthesized by hydrothermal reactions of lanthanide oxide and 3-(pyridine-4-yl) benzoic acid. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction shows that the four compounds are isostructural. They all crystallize in a monoclinic system, space group P1. They have a doubly carboxylate-bridged infinite-chain structure with alternating Ln-(carboxylate)2-Ln linkages and one chelating carboxylate group on each metal center. The Ln ion also combines to two water molecules to form an eight-coordinate square antiprismatic geometry. The pyridine nitrogen atoms of the ligand do not coordinate to the metal centers but direct the formation of a 3D network through hydrogen bonding with coordinated water molecules. The photoluminescent properties of 2 and 3 have been also studied.     

Characterization of the Intermediate in and Identification of the Repair Mechanism of (6‐4) Photolesions by Photolyases

Quantum mechanics/molecular mechanics calculations are employed to assign previously recorded experimental spectroscopic signatures of the intermediates occurring during the photo‐induced repair of (6‐4) photolesions by photolyases to specific molecular structures. Based on this close comparison of experiment and theory it is demonstrated that the acting repair mechanism involves proton transfer from the protonated His365 to the N3′ nitrogen of the lesion, which proceeds simultaneously with intramolecular OH transfer along an oxetane‐like transition state.     

Crystal Structures of Urokinase-type Plasminogen Activator in Complex with 4-（Aminomethyl） Benzoic Acid and 4-（Aminomethyl-phenyl）-methanol

Urokinase-type plasminogen activator （uPA） is a trypsin-like serine protease and plays a key role in several biological processes, including tissue remodeling, cell migration, and matrix degradation. The inhibitors of uPA have been shown to prevent the spread of metastasis and tumor growth, and accordingly uPA is widely recognized as a target for the treatment of cancer. In this work, we report the crystal structures of the complexes of uPA with its inhibitors： 4- （aminomethyl）-benzoic acid （AMBA） and 4-（aminomethyl-phenyl）-methanol （AMPM）, both at a resolution of 2.35 А. The inhibitory constants of these two inhibitors were measured by a chromogenic competitive assay, and it was found that AMBA is a better inhibitor for uPA （Ki = 2.68 mM） than AMPM （Ki = 13.99 mM）. The structural study shows that the binding mode of inhibitor AMBA on uPA is similar to that of AMPM on uPA, both docked into the active site S1 pocket of uPA. Structural details of these complexes are provided to explain the difference of inhibitory constants.
