Acetone hydration in supercritical water: (13)C-NMR spectroscopy and Monte Carlo simulation

The (13)C-NMR chemical shift of acetone delta((13)C[Double Bond]O) was measured in aqueous solution at high temperatures up to 400 degrees C and water densities of 0.10-0.60 g/cm(3) for the study of hydration structure in the supercritical conditions. The average number N(HB) of hydrogen bonds (HBs) between an acetone and solvent waters and the energy change DeltaE upon the HB formation were evaluated from the delta and its temperature dependence, respectively. At 400 degrees C, N(HB) is an increasing function of the water density, the increase being slower at higher water densities. The acetone-water HB formation is exothermic in supercritical water with larger negative DeltaE at lower water densities (-3.3 kcal/mol at 0.10 g/cm(3) and -0.3 kcal/mol at 0.60 g/cm(3)), in contrast to the positive DeltaE in ambient water (+0.078 kcal/mol at 4 degrees C). The corresponding Monte Carlo simulations were performed to calculate the radial and orientational distribution functions of waters around the acetone molecule. The density dependence of N(HB) calculated at 400 degrees C is in a qualitative agreement with the experimental results. In the supercritical conditions, the HB angle in a neighboring acetone-water pair is weakly influenced by the water density, because of the absence of collective HB structure. This is in sharp contrast to the hydration structure in ambient water, where the acetone-water HB formation is orientationally disturbed by the tetrahedral HB network formation among the surrounding waters.     

Structure and dynamics of the lincomycin-copper(II) complex in water solution by (1)H and (13)C NMR studies

The copper(II) complex of lincomycin in water solution at pH = 7.15 was characterized by (1)H and (13)C NMR and UV-vis spectroscopy. A 1:1 complex is formed in these conditions. The temperature dependence of spin-lattice relaxation rates was measured, showing that all protons behave in a similar fashion and slow exchange conditions prevail. The spin-lattice relaxation rate enhancements were interpreted by the Solomon-Bloembergen-Morgan theory. Reorientational dynamics of the complex was approximated by evaluating the motional correlation time of free lincomycin in water solution. The observed proton and carbon relaxation rate enhancements allowed us to calculate copper-proton and copper-carbon distances that were used for building a molecular model of the complex. The obtained data provide an interpretation of the relatively high stability constant.     

Stereoregularity of poly(2-vinylpyridine) determined by 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR spectroscopy

In order to determine the stereoregularity of poly(2-vinylpyridine), 2-vinylpyridine-β,β-d₂ was synthesized. The ¹H-NMR spectra of the deuterated polymer in D₂SO₄ and o-dichlorobenzene solutions showed three peaks, which were assigned to triad tacticities. Since the absorptions of heterotactic and syndiotactic triads of methine protons overlap those of methylene protons in nondeuterated polymers, only isotactic triad intensities can be obtained from the ¹H-NMR spectra of nondeuterated poly(2-vinylpyridine). The ¹³C-NMR spectra of poly(2-vinylpyridine) were obtained in methanol and sulfuric acid solutions. In methanol solution the absorption was split into three groups, which cannot be explained by triads, and in sulfuric acid solution several peaks were observed. These splittings may be due to pentad tacticity. The results show that poly(2-vinylpyridine) obtained by radical polymerization is an atactic polymer.     

Stereoregularity of fractionally crystallized poly(propylene oxide) samples by 13C-NMR spectroscopy

Several stereoregular poly(propylene oxide) (PPO) samples were synthesized employing either trimethyl aluminum hydrolyzates or Pruitt–Baggett type catalysts. Dilute isooctane solutions of these samples were fractionally crystallized by stepwise cooling from 333 K down to 273 K. The fractions which dissolve at 273 K were noncrystallizable and were further fractionated by GFC. The isolated fractions were characterized by ¹³C-NMR, DSC, and viscometry techniques. Both structural (head-to-head and tail-to-tail linkages) and steric (syndiotactic dyads) irregularities were found in otherwise isotactic chains and their abundance apparently increased as the melting point and the chain length of the fractions decreased.     

Characterization of aromatic polymers (benzenoid and heterocyclic) by cross-polarization,magic-angle 13C-NMR spectroscopy

The cross-polarization, magic-angle ¹³C-NMR spectra of solid samples of poly(p-phenylene), its nitro derivative, polymerized biphenyl, poly(p-phenylene sulfide), poly(1-methyl-2,5-pyrrolylene), poly(1-phenyl-2,5-pyrrolylene), poly(2,5-thienylene), and poly(2,5-selenienylene) and the high-resolution ¹³C-NMR spectrum of poly(m-phenylene) in solution are presented and assigned. In all cases the chemical shifts are similar to those of model compounds in solution. In most instances the resonances of the nonprotonated carbon atoms in the solid polymers are more intense than those of the protonated carbons and appear to depend on the charge distribution in the molecular orbitals.     

Structural features of the copper(II) chloride-triphenylphosphine-N-(2-pyrimidyl)imine complex in crystal and solution

The structure of the copper(II) chloride-triphenylphosphine-N-(2-pyrimidyl)imine complex in crystal and solution was investigated by x-ray analysis and EPR. It was found that despite the difference in the structures of the dissolved and crystalline complexes, the exocyclic nitrogen atom is contained in the coordination sphere of the metal together with the nitrogen atom of the heterocycle in both cases due to the electronic effect of the phosphorus atom. In the crystal, the copper atom is coordinated with two chlorine atoms and two molecules of the ligand, and the distance from the copper cation to the nitrogen atoms of the pyrimidine rings is significantly less than the distance to the nitrogen atoms of the phosphinimine groups (2.0 and 2.8 Å, respectively). The coordination polyhedron formed as a result is a strongly distorted axially asymmetric octahedron. In dissolution, the chlorine anions are substituted by molecules of the solvent, the complex acquires axial symmetry, and four nitrogen atoms from two ligands form a planar square with a copper(II) cation in the center.A.

Assignments of dissociation constants of primaquine by 13C-NMR spectroscopy

The first and second dissociation constants of primaquine have been determined by titration in acetonitrile-water mixtures and estimated in pure water by using linear regression analysis. The assignments of dissociation constants were unambiguously achieved by studying the ¹³C nmr spectral data obtained on the mono-, di-, and trihydrochloride salts.     

13C-NMR spectroscopy of polyamic acids and polyimides

¹³Carbon chemical shifts are reported for polyimide and polyamic acid prepared from 3-aminophenylacetylene, 1,3-bis(3-aminophenoxy) benzene, and 3,3′,4,4′-benzophenoetetracarboxylic dicanhydride. The shielding parameters are correlated with the structure. A spectral analysis of model compounds, monomers, and other oligomers is also included. This analysis resulted in an analytical method by ¹³C-NMR spectroscopy of determining the amic acid-imide ratio in the partly cured polyamic acid. The development of the method is discussed.     

Structural characterization of polybenzyls by high field 13C-NMR spectroscopy

¹³C-NMR Spectroscopy has been used for the structural characterization of polybenzyls synthesized from the polymerization of benzyl chloride catalyzed by arene chromium tricarbonyls. The ¹³C-chemical shifts for various mono-, di-, tri-, and tetrasubstituted phenyl groups in a polybenzyl have been calculated by the use of additivity parameters and compared with their observed shifts. Although from a theroetical point of view, polysubstitution on a phenyl ring gives rise to a number of isomers, the results indicate the preferential formation of only a few of them due to steric and electronic considerations. Based on quantitative ¹³C-NMR data, several important structural parameters including the percentage of mono-, di-, tri-, and tetrasubstituted phenyl rings in the polybenzyl can be calculated. The extent of branching in a number of polybenzyls prepared under different experimental conditions was determined. The results indicate an increase in branching with the increase in reaction temperature.     

Characterization of phenol-terminated polystyrenes by means of 13C-NMR spectroscopy

In the presence of many alkylphenols, cationic polymerization of styrene by aluminium chloride leads to low-molecular-weight polystyrenes that contain end groups derived from the phenols. The fraction of phenolic end groups in the polymer is estimated by ultraviolet (UV) measurements to be 40–70% dependent on phenol and the reaction conditions. Phenol is incorporated into the polymer over the whole range of molecular weights (up to 7000). At high phenol concentrations, a significant proportion of the product consists of 1:1 and 1:2 phenol-styrene adducts. The position of attack of the growing carbenium ion on the phenol can be determined by ¹³C-NMR spectroscopy. With 2,6-dialkylphenols, such as 2,6-di-tert-butylphenol, the high field aromatic resonance near 119.7 ppm is shifted downfield by about 16 ppm when the phenol is incorporated into the polystyrene as an end group. This is interpreted as an exclusive attack of the growing carbenium ion on the 4-position of the phenol. With 2,4-dialkylphenols, such as 2-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol, a corresponding downfield shift shows that reaction occurs only at the 6-position. The preferred site of attack for phenols such as 2-alkylphenols which lack both ortho- and parasubstituents, is the 4-position. With such phenols attack at the 6-position is not excluded. Low-molecular-weight adducts contain 1-methylbenzyl end groups and ¹³C-spectra are consistent with their presence in the higher-molecular-weight polystyrenes.     

Stereoregularity and polymerization mechanism of polymethacrylonitriles determined by 13C-NMR spectroscopy

Carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance (¹³C-NMR) spectra of polymethacrylonitriles prepared under various conditions were measured. In acetone solution, the α-methyl carbon absorptions were split into triads and partially into pentads, and the methylene carbon absorptions into tetrads. In trifluoroacetic acid solution, the α-methyl carbon absorptions were split into pentads and the cyano carbon absorptions into triads. The triad, tetrad, and pentad tacticities determined from ¹³C-NMR spectra were compared with dyad tacticities determined from proton NMR spectra. The stereoregularity of the polymers which are γ-ray-initiated in liquid phase at temperatures near melting point (?35.8°C) and in the solid state differs from that of the polymers radically initiated at ?20 to 80°C. The stereoregularity and the conversion suggest the existence of an ionic mechanism in the polymerization at low temperatures.     

A 13C-NMR. Study of Some Arsenic Complexes of Platinum(II) and Palladium(II)

The ¹³C-NMR. spectra of a series of tri-n-alkyl arsenic complexes of platinum and palladium have been measured. In these complexes it is suggested that the carbon chemical shift of the atom bound directly to the arsenic is a useful structural probe. The chemical shift of the second carbon atom in the chain is interpreted in terms of interactions within the chains of anyone ligand. The values ²J(Pt, C) and ³J(Pt, C) are presented.

The trans-Influence in Platinum (II) Complexes. 1H- and 13C-NMR. and X-ray structural studies of tridentate Schiff's base complexes of platinum (II)

¹H- and ¹³C-NMR. data are reported for the complexes [Pt (1) L] and [Pt (2) L]; 1 = OC₆H₄CH ? NCH₂CH₂O, 2 = OC₆H₄CH ? NC₆H₄O; L = PR₃, AsR₃, C ? N (cyclohexyl), DMSO, pyridine, secondary amine. The molecular structures of [Pt (2) (NHEt₂)] (I) and [Pt (2) (PPh₃)] (II) have been determined by X-ray analysis. Relevant bond distances for I: Pt-N (amine) = 2.076 Å, Pt-N (imine) = 2.017 Å, Pt-O = 1.992 Å and 2.002 Å; for II: Pt-P = 2.248 Å, Pt-N = 2.064 Å, Pt-O = 1.964 and 2.005 Å. Both the solid and solution state data are interpreted in terms of differences in the trans influence of the ligand L. The question of metal-ligand d-p π back bonding to the imine is discussed.

Microenvironmental and conformational structure of triblock copolymers in aqueous solution by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy

1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra of poly(ethylene oxide)-poly(propylene oxide)-poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO-PPO-PEO) triblock copolymers in D2O solutions have been systematically investigated. The detailed assignments of various 1H and 13C NMR signals are presented. The hyperfine structure of PO -CH2- protons was clearly assigned, the arising reason of this hyperfine structure was attributed to the influence of the chiral center of -CHCH3- groups and the direct coupling between the PO -CH2- and -CH3 protons. The external standard 2,2-dimethyl-2-silapentane-5-sulfonate sodium salt (DSS) was firstly applied in this system. Accurate chemical shift values referenced to the external standard DSS were obtained. 1H NMR chemical shift of PO -CH2- and -CH3 signals shows a larger decrease in ppm values than that of EO -CH2- signal with the increase of PPO/PEO ratio or temperature indicating that PO segments exist in a more hydrophobic microenvironment. A new resonance signal assigned to the PO -CH2- protons appeared when the temperature is above the CMT, which is attributed to the breakdown of the intra-molecular (C-H)...O hydrogen bond between the PO -CH2- protons and the ester oxygens. The breakdown of this intra-molecular hydrogen bond may result in a decrease of gauche conformers of the PPO chain. The increase of 13C NMR chemical shift of block copolymers validates this conformational change assumption. It can be inferred that the amount of gauche conformers decreases whereas that of trans conformers increases in both PO and EO chains when elevating the PPO/PEO ratio or temperature. The observed 13C NMR chemical shifts of PO segments show a bigger increase than those of EO segments, supporting the formation of a nonpolar microenvironment around PO segments.     

Thermochemical study of complex formation reactions between cadmium(II) and gllycylglycine in water solution

The heats of reactions between a gllycylglycine solution and a cadmium(II) nitrate solution at various pH values and [metal]: [ligand] ratios were measured by direct calorimetry. Temperature was varied from 288.15 to 308.15 K; KNO₃ was used as a background electrolyte. The heats of dilution of cadmium nitrate solution in background electrolyte solutions were also measured in order to make the proper corrections. The standard thermodynamic parameters of complex formation between the peptide and cadmium(II) ion in water solution were calculated.     

The analysis of cured drying oils by swollen state 13C-NMR spectroscopy

Swollen state ¹¹C-NMR spectroscopy is used to obtain information on the structures of cured drying oils used in alkyd paint manufacture. Examination of the individual drying components within these oils suggests that the behaviours of linolenate and linoleate groups are quite different. Low molecular weight materials produced during curing can be examined and their structures compared with those of the bulk insoluble product. The effects of catalyst upon the drying process can also be studied for the more reactive drying oils. Cured oils can be identified but the characteristic features are often reduced to low level components.     

Metal-glutathione interaction in water solution. NMR and electron spectroscopy study of Ni(II)-glutathione complexes in aqueous solution

PMR and absorption spectra have been used to establish the structure of Ni(II)-glutathione complexes in aqueous solutions at various pH values. Equilibria exist between a few octahedral and square planar complexes in solution. At pH above 11 the most stable complex is formed by the coordination of the Ni(II) ion to the residue. Ni(II) is bound to the sulphur atom and deprotonated nitrogens of the peptide A linkage form the square planar complex.
