Crystal structures of cyclodextrin complexes with chiral molecules

The chiral recognition by cyclodextrins and permethylated cyclodextrins have been investigated on the basis of the X-ray data of crystalline inclusion complexes. The macrocyclic ring of - and -cyclodextrin shows a round and symmetrical structure. -Cyclodextrin includes racemic 1-phenylethanol with the statistical disorder of the hydroxyl group. A pair of the R- and S-isomers of flurbiprofen are included within the cylindrical cavity formed by dimeric -cyclodextrin molecules with a head-to-head arrangement. The macrocyclic ring of permethylated cyclodextrins is remarkably distorted from the regular polygonal symmetry and has more flexibility in the conformational change than cyclodextrins. Owing to the distorted conformation and steric hindrance involving methyl groups, permethylated cyclodextrins do not equally include both isomers, as demonstrated by the permethylated -cyclodextrin complexes with mandelic acids. Permethylated -cyclodextrin binds D-mandelic acid more tightlyvia a host-guest hydrogen bond and induced-fit conformational change. Permethylated -cyclodextrin forms a hydrated crystalline complex with R-flurbiprofen, but S-flurbiprofen forms a non-hydrated crystalline complex. Significant differences between the two complexes are found in the orientation of the phenyl group and hydrogen-bond formation involving the carboxyl group.     

Structure and molecular dynamics of solid-state inclusion complexes of cyclodextrin and permethylated cyclodextrin with benzaldehyde studied by high-resolution CP/MAS13C NMR

The structure and molecular dynamics of the benzaldehyde inclusion-complexes with -and-cyclodextrins and permethylated -cyclodextrin in the solid state have been studied by high-resolution cross-polarization/magic angle sample-spinning¹³C NMR spectroscopy. It is shown that the guest benzaldehyde molecule undergoes motion in the host cyclodextrin cavity and the rate of motion depend on the cavity size. In the -cyclodextrin complex, compared to -and permethylated -cyclodextrin complexes, the benzaldehyde motion is severely restricted, but under high-vacuum benzaldehyde is released more easily from the cavity.     

Identification of nitride inclusions in steel using differential thermal analysis and evolved gas analysis

A preliminary study has been made of the feasibility of applying differential thermal analysis/evolved gas analysis (DTA/EGA) to the identification and estimation of nitrides in residues extracted from iron base alloys. A set of commercially available nitride powders have also been examined.The results showed that EGA traces are more informative than the DTA observations and, additionally, provide an estimate of the total nitrogen present. Residues from steels often contain elemental carbon and this complicates the interpretation of the DTA and EGA traces. It is generally concluded that the DTA/EGA technique is useful in identifying nitrides but should be ancilliary to other techniques such as X-ray diffraction.

Zusammenfassung Eine Vorstudie wurde durchgeführt um die Einsatzmöglichkeit der Differentialthermoanalyse/Emittierte Gasanalyse (DTA/EGA) zur Identifizierung und Abschätzung der Nitride in aus Eisenbasenlegierungen extrahierten Rückständen zu prüfen. Eine Reihe handelsüblicher Nitridpulver wurde ebenfalls untersucht.Die Ergebnisse zeigten, daß EGA-Spuren informativer sind als die DTA-Beobachtungen und überdies eine Schätzung des Gesamtstickstoffgehaltes gestatten. Rückstände aus Stählen enthalten oft Kohlstoff und dies erschwert die Deutung der DTA- und EGA-Spuren. Im Allgemeinen kann gefolgert werden, daß die DTA/EGA-Technik bei der Identifizierung von Nitriden nützlich ist, doch nur als Ergänzung anderer Techniken, wie z. B. die Röntgendiffraktion, eingesetzt werden sollte.

Résumé On a effectué une étude préliminaire pour rechercher si l'emploi conjugué de l'analyse thermique différentielle et de l'analyse des gaz émis (ATD/AGE) pouvait servir à l'identification et à l'estimation de la teneur des nitrures présents dans les résidus d'extraction des alliages à base fer. On a également examiné une série de nitrures en poudre disponibles commercialement.Les résultats ont montré que les enregistrements d'AGE fournissent davantage de renseignements que les courbes ATD car ils donnent en plus la valeur de l'azote total présent. Les résidus d'extraction des aciers contiennent souvent du carbone élémentaire, ce qui complique l'interprétation des enregistrements d'ATD et d'AGE. L'étude permet de conclure qu'en général la technique d'ATD/AGE est utile pour identifier les nitrures, mais qu'elle devrait être utilisée comme méthode auxiliaire vis-à-vis d'autres techniques, par ex. la diffraction des rayons X.

Kinetic regularities for the interaction of anion-radicals O2? with benzene and toluene on Mo?Mg oxide systems

Interaction of anion-radicals O ₂ ^– with adsorbed forms of benzene and toluene at 293–473 K is shown to be described by an equation corresponding to exponential activation energy distribution of O ₂ ^– . It has been established that under the same conditions the decay rate of O ₂ ^– is higher in the presence of toluene than with benzene.

Generation of model reactions leading to limit cycle behavior

The system of differential equations by Feistel and Ebeling has been generalized. Some new formal kinetic reactions with two internal components, which may exhibit limit cycle behavior have been studied. Based upon the numerical integration of the deterministic models of these reactions the oscillatory character of the systems has been confirmed.

Asymmetric halogenation and hydrohalogenation of styrene in crystalline cyclodextrin complexes

Asymmetric halogenation and hydrohalogenation of styrene in microcrystalline cyclodextrin complexes were studied in the gas-solid state, and compared with the homogenous reactions in aqueous or dimethyl sulfoxide solutions. The gas-solid brominations in the - and -cyclodextrin complexes produced predominantly (–)-1,2-dibromo-l-phenylethane. The chiral induction for the reaction of the -cyclodextrin complex rose to 9 times that of the -cyclodextrin complex. Brominations in the homogenous solutions containing the - or -cyclodextrin complexes gave no dibromide but racemic bromohydrin. In the gas-solid chlorination, the -cyclodextrin complex gave (–)-dichloride,S-(+)-2-chloro-l-phenylethanol (14% ee) and (+)-1,2,2-trichloro-l-phenylethane, and the -cyclodextrin complex produced (+)-dichloride,S-(+)-chlorohydrin (8% ee) and (+)-trichloride. The chiral induction of the gas-solid halogenation using the solid cyclodextrin complexes is attributed to the ability to hold rigidly a chiral conformation of the crystalline state. However, the gas-solid hydrohalogenation all gave racemic products.Presented at the Fourth International Symposium on Inclusion Phenomena and the Third International Symposium on Cyclodextrins, Lancaster, U.K., 20–25 July 1986.

Cyclodextrine und synthetische Wirthohlräume — Vergleich der Komplexierungseigenschaften

It is shown that the synthetic host compounds described in this study possess higher complexation constants versus 1,8-ANS than -or -cyclodextrin. The attachment of side chains to -cyclodextrin increases the complex formation, whereas the value of -cyclodextrin is not reached. The quaternary ammonium nitrogens of the synthetic hosts may be replaced by amide groups without diminution of the association constants. Bicyclic compounds in general bind more strongly than monocyclic hosts due to tighter inclusion and increased hydrophobic interaction. The influence of side chains attached to synthetic host compounds on the complexation constants is difficult to predict.

     

Application of emissionless infrared diffuse reflectance spectrometry for following reactions of adsorbed alcohols on an alumina catalyst

IR spectra of adsorbed alcohols on alumina were measured under the reaction conditions at elevated temperatures. The transient response of IR absorption intensity indicates that alkoxides are reactive adsorbed species but carboxylates are not. The rate constants of surface reactions were calculated from the transient response.

Study of the adsorption properties of a natural Hungarian mordenite and its ion-exchanged derivatives

The texture and adsorption properties of a natural, Hungarian mordenite were investigated by electron microscopy and BET adsorption measurements. The properties of the ion-exchanged adsorbents were characterized by CO₂ and SO₂ isotherms. The measurements were evaluated on the basis of the pore-filling theory of Dubinin. We have found that at 20°C the H⁺-form of mordenite interacts preferably with CO₂, while on the Na⁺- and Ca²⁺-derivatives stronger adsorption of SO₂ takes place. This fact accounts for their applicability as selective adsorbents.
