Thermochemistry of aqueous solutions of alkylated nucleic acid bases V. Enthalpies of hydration of N-methylated adenines

Enthalpies of solution in water, H _sol ^o , and of sublimation, H _subl ^o , were determined experimentally for a number of crystalline N-methyl adenines: m⁶Ade, m ₂ ^6,6 Ade, m⁹Ade, m ₂ ^6,9 Ade, and m ₃ ^6,6,9 Ade. Derived standard enthalpies of hydration H _hydr ^o , were corrected for the calculated cavity terms H _cav ^o to yield enthalpies of interaction H _int ^o of the solutes with their hydration shells. The increments of H _int ^o per unit area of the water-accessible molecular surface S _B , H _int ^o (CH₃)/S _B (CH₃), for the particular methyl groups: is considered to be the net effect of the gain in the energy resulting from van der Waals' interactions and of the loss in the energy due to polar interactions upon methyl substitution. It proved to vary somewhat numerically in agreement with the theoretically predicted hydration schemes of adenine. Comparison of H _int ^o /S _B value for adenine with those previously determined for uracil and thymine indicates that the aminopurine moiety is less hydrated than the diketopyrimidine ring.     

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.     

Thermochemistry of Alcohols: Experimental Standard Molar Enthalpies of Formation and Strain of Some Alkyl and Phenyl Congested Alcohols

The standard molar enthalpies of formation _f H _m ^° (cr) at the temperature T = 298.15 K were determined using combustion calorimetry for di-tert-butyl-methanol (A), di-tert-butyl-iso-propyl-methanol (B), and di-phenyl-methyl-methanol (C). The standard molar enthalpies of sublimation _cr ⁸ H _m ^° of these compounds and of di-phenyl-methanol (D) were obtained from the temperature variation of the vapor pressure measured in a flow system. Molar enthalpies of fusion _cr ¹ H _m ^° of the compounds A–D and of tri-phenyl-methanol (E) were measured by differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). From these data and data available from the literature, the following standard molar enthalpies of formation in gaseous phase _f H _m ^° (g) for A, (–397.0 ± 1.2); B, (–418.1 ± 2.3); C, (–34.2 ± 1.3); and D, (0.9 ± 2.1) kJ · mol^–1 were derived, which correspond to strain enthalpies (H _S) of 46.1, 114.7, 8.1, and 5.0 kJ · mol^–1, respectively.     

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.     

Thermochemical Studies for Determination of the Standard Molar Enthalpies of Formation of Alkyl-Substituted Furans and Some Ethers

The standard molar enthalpies of vaporization _l ^g H _m ^º of 2,5-dimethylfuran, 2-tert-butylfuran, 2,5-di-tert-butylfuran, cyclopentenyl methyl ether, cyclohexenyl methyl ether, and tert-amyl methyl ether were obtained from the temperature variation of the vapor pressure measured in a flow system. The standard (p° = 0.1 MPa) molar enthalpies of formation _f H _m ^º (1) at the temperature T = 298.15 K were measured using combustion calorimetry for 2,5-dimethylfuran, 2-tert-butylfuran, and 2,5-di-tert-butylfuran. From the derived standard molar enthalpies of formation for gaseous compounds, ring correction terms and non-nearest neighbor interactions useful in the application of the Benson group additivity scheme were calculated.     

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.

The standard molar enthalpies of formation _f H _m ^° (l) at the temperature T = 298.15 K were determined using combustion calorimetry for N-methylpiperidine (A), N-ethylpiperidine (B), N-propylpiperidine (C), N-butylpiperidine (D), N-cyclopentylpiperidine (E), N-cyclohexylpiperidine (F), and N-phenylpiperidine (G). The standard molar enthalpies of vaporization _l ^g H ^{m °} of these compounds were obtained from the temperature variation of the vapor pressure measured in a flow system.

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– .     

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.     

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.

The enthalpies of combustion (H _comb) of 13 primary, secondary, and tertiary alkylphoshines in the condensed state were calculated using the equation H _comb = –860.7 – 107.0N, where N is the number of valent (bond-forming) electrons. This equation can be used for the calculation of enthalpies of combustion and formation of phosphoric acid esters.Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

The enthalpies of dilution of phosphate solutions at 30°C

The enthalpies of dilution of aqueous solutions of HCl, H₃PO₄, NaOH, NaH₂PO₄, Na₂HPO₄ and Na₃PO₄ in the molality range 0.1 to 1.0 mole-kg^–1 have been determined at 30°C. The relative apparent molal enthalpies _L of HCl, NaOH, NaH₂PO₄ and Na₂HPO₄ have been determined with the aid of an extended form of the Debye-Hückel limiting law. The relative apparent molal enthalpies for Na₃PO₄ solutions have been corrected for hydrolysis. A value of H _H ^o =9525±150 cal-mole^–1 was determined for the heat of hydrolysis of PO ₄ ^–3 . This value gives H ₃ ^o =3815±150 cal-mole^–1 for the ionization of H₂PO ₄ ^– , which is in good agreement with the value of H ₃ ^o =3500±500 cal-mole^–1 determined directly by Pitzer at 25°C. The relative apparent molal enthalpies for H₃PO₄ solutions have been corrected for ionization. A value of H ₁ ^o =–1900±150 cal-mole^–1 was obtained for the heat of ionization of H₃PO₄ to H⁺+H₂PO ₄ ^– . This value is in good agreement with the value of H ₁ ^o =–2031 cal-mole^–1 at 30°C determined by Harned and Owen from the temperature coefficient of the equilibrium constant and H ₁ ^o =–1950±80 cal-mole^–1 at 25°C determined from calorimetry by Pitzer.     

An equilibrium and calorimetric investigation of the hydrolysis of L-tryptophan to (indole + pyruvate + ammonia)

Apparent equilibrium constants and calorimetric enthalpies of reaction have been measured for the reaction L-tryptophan(aq) + H₂O(l) = indole(aq) + pyruvate(aq) + ammonia(aq) which is catalyzed by L-tryptophanase. High-pressure liquid-chromatography and microcalorimetery were used to perform these measurements. The equilibrium measurements were performed as a function of pH, temperature, and ionic strength. The results have been interpreted with a chemical equilibrium model to obtain thermodynamic quantities for the reference reaction: L-tryptophan(aq) + H₂O(l) = indole(aq) + pyruvate^–(aq) + NH ₄ ⁺ (aq). At T=25°C and I_m=O the results for this reaction are: K^o=(1.05±0.13)×10^–4, G°=(22.71±0.33) kJ-mol^–1, H°=(62.0±2.3) kJ-mol^–1, and S°=(132±8) J-K^–1-mol^–1. These results have been used together with thermodynamic results from the literature to calculate standard Gibbs energies of formation, standard enthalpies of formation, standard molar entropies, standard molar heat capacities, and standard transformed formation properties for the substances participating in this reaction.Presented at the Symposium, 76^th CSC Congress, Sherbrooke, Quebec, May 30–June 3, 1993, honoring Professor Donald Patterson on the occasion of his 65^th birthday.

Thermodynamic properties of dilution of chondroitin 4-sulfate having tetraalkylammonium counterions

The dilution enthalpies, _dil H, of tetraalkylammonium chondroitin 4-sulfate (R₄NChSA) and polyacrylate (R₄NPAA) having methyl (Me), ethyl (Et), propyl (Pr) and butyl (Bu) as alkyl groups (R) were measured to elucidate the effects of hydrophobic counterions. The _dil H of R₄NChS-A and R₄NPAA were negative (exothermic) and decreased as the carbon number of tetraalkylammonium cation (R₄N⁺) increased. These results were found to possess the same effects on _dil H as these of bromides. The non-electrostatic terms of dilution enthalpies _dil H ⁿ of R₄NChS and R₄NPAA were evaluated by using the electrostatic terms of _dil H obtained from Manning's theory. The _dil H ⁿ of R₄NChS-A and R₄NPAA decreased, i.e., their exothermic tendencies increased as the carbon number of R₄N⁺ increased, and the rate of decrease of the R₄NPAA was more than that of the R₄NChS-A. These results are discussed in relation to the increase of the hydrated water structure around R₄N⁺ on dilution.     

Thermodynamics of protonation of AMP,ADP, and ATP from 50 to 125°C

The interaction of adenosine 5-monophosphate (AMP), adenosine 5-diphosphate (ADP), and adenosine 5-triphosphate (ATP) ions with protons in aqueous solution has been studied calorimetrically from 50 to 125°C and 1.52 MPa. At each temperature, the reaction of acidic AMP with tetramethylammonium hydroxide was combined with the heat of ionization for water to obtain the enthalpy of protonation of AMP, while the reactions of HCl with deprotonated tetramethylammonium salts of ADP and ATP were used to obtain the enthalpies of protonation of ADP and ATP. Equilibrium constant K, enthalpy change H^o, entropy change S^o, and heat capacity change C _p ^o values were calculated for the stepwise protonation reactions as a function of temperature. The reactions involving the first protonation of AMP, ADP, and ATP and the third protonation of ADP and ATP were endothermic over the temperature range studied, while that involving the second protonation is exothermic for AMP and ADP, but is exothermic below 100°C and endothermic at 125°C in the case of ATP. Consequently, log K values for the first and third protonation reactions (phosphate groups) increase while those for the second protonation reaction (N₁-adenine) decrease in the cases of AMP and ADP and go through a minimum in the case of ATP as temperature increases. The H^o values for all protonation reactions increase with temperature. The magnitude and the trend for the H^o, S^o, and C _p ^o values with temperature are discussed in terms of solvent-solute interactions. The magnitude of the C _p ^o values for the second protonation is consistent with little interaction between the phosphate ion and the protonated N₁ site of the adenine moiety in AMP, but indicates moderate interaction between these groups in ADP, and strong interaction in ATP.     

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.     

Solubilities in aqueous mixtures oft-butanol andtrans-dichlorotetra(3-alkylpyridine) cobalt(III) hexachlororhenate(IV): Gibbs energies of transfer of the complex cations

The solubilities of the hexachlororhenate(IV) salts of the complex cations trans-[Co(3Mepy)₄Cl₂]⁺ and trans-[Co(3Etpy)₄Cl₂]⁺ have been determined in water+t-butyl alcohol mixtures. By reference to the solubilities of Cs₂ReCl₆ and the Gibbs energies of transfer of Cs⁺ from water into water+t-butyl alcohol mixtures, G _t ^o (Cs⁺), G _t ^o [Co(3Mepy)₄Cl ₂ ⁺ ] and G _t ^o [Co(3Etpy)₄Cl ₂ ⁺ ] are calculated. These latter values, when introduced into the equation for a free energy cycle applied to the process of the initial state going to the transition state for the solvolyses of these two cations, produces values for G _t ^o [Co(3Mepy)₄Cl^2+*] and G _t ^o [Co(3Etpy)₄Cl^2+*] for the Co³⁺ cations in the transition state. These values are compared with (G _t ^o (i) for i=[Co(Rpy)₄Cl₂]⁺, [Co(Rpy)₄Cl]^2+*, [Coen₂XCl]⁺ and [Coen₂X]^2+* to investigate the influence of the hydrophobicity of the surface of the complex on its stability in the mixtures. G _t ^o (i) (solvent sorting) are compared with G _t ^o (i) (TATB).     

Free energy of transfer of cobalt(III) complexes from water into water—t-butyl alcohol mixtures

The solubility of trans-(Coen₂Cl₂)₂ReCl₆ has been determined in water and in water +t-butyl alcohol mixtures. By comparzng these values with the solubility of Cs₂ReCl₆ in similar mixtures, values for the difference in free energy of transfer, G _t ^o (i) between water and water + t-butyl alcohol can be calculated for i =[Coen₂Cl₂]⁺ and Cs⁺. The introduction of G _t ^o (Cs⁺) then produces values for G _t ^o (Coen₂Cl₂ ⁺). The difference in G _t ^o (i) for i=[Coon₂Cl]²⁺ in the transition state and i=[Coen₂Cl₂]⁺ in the initiad' tate for the solvolysis of the trans-[Coen₂Cl₂]⁺ ion in water + t-butyl alcohol can be derived from the application of a free energy cycle: using G _t ^o (Coen₂Cl₂ ⁺) determined from the solubility measurements allows the calculation of values for G _t ^o (Coen₂Cl²⁺). G _t ^o (i) in water + t-butyl alcohol for bis (1,2-diamino) cobalt (III) ions are compared with G _t ^o (i) for tetrapyridinecobalt (III) ions.
