Chemistry of the Positive and Negative Electrical Discharges Formed in Liquid Water and Above a Gas–Liquid Surface

The physical processes and chemical reactions that take place inside different temperature plasma zones in water are only partially understood. The present study uses the emission spectroscopy and hydrogen peroxide measurements as indicators of the processes that take place on the gas–liquid boundary and inside plasma. Based on the hydrogen peroxide measurements with negative and positive high-voltage polarities as a function of solution conductivity, it was concluded that the main difference between positive polarity plasma and negative polarity plasma lies in the active radical concentration inside plasma. Data suggested that in the positive polarity electrical discharge the hydrogen peroxide concentration depends on the solution pH, whereas in the negative polarity discharge, it depends on the solution conductivity. Also, only in the negative polarity discharge do some of the electrons that are emitted from the high voltage electrode diffuse into the bulk where they react with the solutes.     

Effects of solvent polarity on mutual styrene grafting onto polypropylene by electron beam irradiation

Radiation induced mutual grafting of styrene onto polypropylene has been carried using several grafting solutions with different organic solvents and polarity levels. In the mixture of styrene and protic polar solvents high grafting yields were obtained. This behavior suggests that grafting process does not have dependence on swelling of the substrate, something that is expected when a non-polar substrate and a non-polar media are in contact. In this case, the grafting yield may be related to the free radical generation at protic polar solvent; these reactive specimens start the reaction on substrate surface to allow the accessibility of monomer species to active sites. Some reaction mechanisms are proposed.

Diamond Deposition on Substrates with Different Geometries in a Thermal Plasma Reactor

The effects of process parameters on diamond film deposition have been considered in an atmospheric-pressure dc thermal plasma jet reactor. Two different precursor injection systems have been evaluated, counterflow and side injection. The precursor flow rate using ethanol has been found to strongly affect crystal size as well as orientation of crystal growth planes. Further, crystal size on sharp edges has been found to be up to five times larger than on planar surfaces. The effects of substrate geometry on the morphology and area of deposited diamond have been investigated as well. The results of this study show that dc thermal plasma jets can provide high diamond deposition rates, for example on wires and drills, although crystal size and film thickness show substantial variation.     

Separation of 18α(H)-, 18β(H)-oleanane and lupane by comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography

18α(H)-, 18β(H)-oleanane and lupane are angiosperm-derived biomarkers that are used as age indicators for the Late Cretaceous onwards when the first proliferation of angiosperms occurred. In addition, the 18α(H)-/18β(H)-oleanane ratio is employed as a thermal maturity parameter of crude oil. However, evidence has shown that accurate quantification of these compounds has been impeded by inadequate chromatographic separation by traditional one-dimensional gas chromatography. In this study, we present the separation of 18α(H)-, 18β(H)-oleanane and lupane with comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography (GC×GC). Furthermore, it was observed that 18β(H)-oleanane elutes earlier than 18α(H)-oleanane in second dimension (polarity) which we attribute to steric hindrance effects. Two GC conditions have been developed in order to achieve baseline separation of the triterpenoids of interest in complex mixtures such as sediment extracts and crude oils.     

Direct aqueous injection gas chromatographic analysis of polar compounds using sorbents containing potassium fluoride dihydrate

Summary For direct aqueous injection gas-chromatographic analysis of polar compounds present in aqueous solutions sorbents containing conventional stationary phases and potassium fluoride crystal hydrate are proposed. On such sorbents polar compounds elute with narrow symmetrical zones under gentle chromatographic conditions. In such sorbents KF.2H₂O mainly deactivates the surface of the solid support. The polarity of these sorbents is compared with the polarity of molten potassium fluoride dihydrate and conventional stationary phases.     

Raman spectroscopy of <Emphasis Type="Italic">natron</Emphasis>: shedding light on ancient Egyptian mummification

The mummification ritual in ancient Egypt involved the evisceration of the corpse and its desiccation using natron, a naturally occurring evaporitic mineral deposit from the Wadi Natrun, Egypt. The deposit typically contains sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate and impurities of chloride and sulfate as its major elemental components. It is believed that the function of the natron was to rapidly remove the water from the cadaver to prevent microbial attack associated with subsequent biological tissue degradation and putrefaction. Several specimens of natron that were recently collected from the Wadi Natrun contained coloured zones interspersed with the mineral matrix that are superficially reminiscent of extremophilic cyanobacterial colonisation found elsewhere in hot and cold deserts. Raman spectroscopy of these specimens using visible and near-infrared laser excitation has revealed not only the mineral composition of the natron, but also evidence for the presence of cyanobacterial colonies in several coloured zones observed in the mineral matrix. Key Raman biosignatures of carotenoids, scytonemin and chlorophyll have been identified.

An experimental and theoretical study of excited-state dipole moments of some flavones using an efficient solvatochromic method based on the solvent polarity parameter, E(N)(T)

The electronic absorption and fluorescence spectra of some biologically active natural flavones have been recorded at room temperature (298 K) in solvents of different polarities. The effects of the solvents upon the spectral properties are discussed. Difference in fluorescence intensity of flavones has been explained on the basis of intersystem crossing and degree of non-planarity calculated theoretically using Austin Model 1 (AM1) method. Excited-state dipole moments have been determined using the solvatochromic method based on the microscopic solvent polarity parameter, E(N)(T). A reasonable agreement has been observed between experimental and AM1 calculated dipole moment changes. Our results are found to be quite reliable in view of the fact that the correlation of the solvatochromic Stokes shifts with microscopic solvent polarity parameter, E(N)(T) is superior to that obtained using bulk solvent polarity functions for all the systems studied here.     

Polarity dependence of the radiative and nonradiative rates of flavone derivatives comprising structurally similar amino moieties: change in the nature of the emitting state

Photophysical behavior of several structurally related electron donor-acceptor flavone derivatives, which have been synthesized and characterized, has been studied as a function of the polarity of the media. Significant variation of the absorption and fluorescence response of the systems has been observed with change in the polarity of the medium. The results show an increase in the radiative rate constant and a decrease in the nonradiative rate constant of the systems with increase in the polarity of the media. This finding has been attributed to the change in the nature of the emitting state from a mixed n-pi* and pi-pi* state to a dominant pi-pi* state with increase in the polarity of the medium. The results of single-crystal diffraction studies and theoretical calculations based on density functional method support the idea of close proximity of the n-pi* and pi-pi* states and the change in their relative contributions toward the emission process with the polarity of the medium. Laser flash photolysis studies show that the triplet state is not involved in the variation of the fluorescence response of the systems.     

Understanding the polarity of ionic liquids

The polarities of a wide range of ionic liquids have been determined using the Kamlet-Taft empirical polarity scales α, β and π*, with the dye set Reichardt's Dye, N,N-diethyl-4-nitroaniline and 4-nitroaniline. These have been compared to measurements of these parameters with different dye sets and to different polarity scales. The results emphasise the importance of recognising the role that the nature of the solute plays in determining these scales. It is particularly noted that polarity scales based upon charged solutes can give very different values for the polarity of ionic liquids compared to those based upon neutral probes. Finally, the effects of commonplace impurities in ionic liquids are reported.

The influence of UV irradiation on the properties of chitosan films containing keratin

The mechanical, thermal and surface properties of chitosan and chitosan containing keratin hydrolysates have been studied and the influence of UV irradiation on these properties has been compared. The surface properties of chitosan films containing 5%, 15% and 30% of keratin hydrolysate before and after UV irradiation (λ = 254 nm) were investigated by means of contact angle measurements allowing the calculation of surface free energy. The chemical and structural changes during UV irradiation were studied by UV-vis and FTIR-ATR spectroscopy.The changes in mechanical properties such as breaking strength, percentage elongation and Young’s modulus have been investigated. The results have shown that the mechanical properties of the chitosan/keratin films were greatly affected by UV irradiation, but the level of the changes of these properties was smaller in the blend than in pure chitosan and strongly dependent on the time of irradiation and composition of the samples. The contact angle and the surface free energy were altered by UV irradiation, which indicates photooxidation and an increase of polarity of specimens. The range of these changes point to greater susceptibility of chitosan to photooxidation in the presence of keratin.     

Determination of Polarity Terms of Some Nitrogen-Containing Surfactants and Simulated Hydrophobic Tail Models by Gas Chromatography

Some polarity terms of two groups of nitrogen-containing surfactants （ six alkanolamides and nine polyoxyethylenated long chain amines） are measured through gas chromatography. The apparent methanol carbon number （CMeOH） and polarity index （IP） values are determined on the investigated surfactants as stationary phases in packed columns. Similarly, CMeOH and IP values are determined on simulated hydrophobic tail （SHT）models. The obtained results reveal that the introduction of SHT approach permits the distinction between the polarities of different surfactants and their head groups. The measured polarity terms are discussed as related to hydrophile-lipophile balance （HLB） number and the hydrophobic group carbon number （RCN）. Some equations relating the measured polarity values and these variable have been developed.

Solvatochromic study of excited state dipole moments of some biologically active indoles and tryptamines

Absorption and fluorescence spectra of some biologically active indole and tryptamine derivatives have been recorded at room temperature in solvents of different polarities. The interest in the photophysical properties of these molecules arises mainly from their utility in medicinal chemistry as neurotransmitter and hallucination/hallucinic agents. Excited-state dipole moments of these molecules have been estimated from solvent-dependent Stokes shift data using a solvatochromic method based on a microscopic solvent polarity parameter (ETN). All indoles show a substantial increase in the dipole moment upon excitation to the emitting state. These results are generally consistent with the Parametric Method 3 (PM3) calculations, and are found to be quite reliable in view of the fact that the correlation of the solvatochromic Stokes shifts with the microscopic solvent polarity parameter (ETN) is superior to that obtained using bulk solvent polarity functions.     

When it is hard to get to with genetics--planar cell polarity under a chemical scalpel

Planar cell polarity (PCP) has been under genetic dissection for decades. More and more fundamental developmental processes have been found relying on PCP signaling. However, mechanisms of how PCP signaling generates asymmetry is still unknown. A recent paper in Chemistry & Biology (Sundberg et?al., 2011) represents the efforts to decipher the intracellular code of polarity signaling.     

Recent progress in studies on polarity of ionic liquids

Although many ionic liquids have been reported, their polarity is not completely understood. Different empirical polarity scales for molecular solvents always lead to different polarity orders when they are applied on ionic liquids. Based on a literature survey, this review summarizes the recent polarity scales of ionic liquids according to the following 4 classes: (1) equilibrium and kinetic rate constants of chemical reactions; (2) empirical polar parameters of ionic liquids; (3) spectral properties of probe molecules; (4) multiparameter approaches. In addition, their interrelations are presented. A systematic understanding of the relationship between different polarity parameters of ionic liquids is of great importance for finding a universal set of parameters that can be used to predict the polarities of ionic liquids quantitatively. The potential utilization of the electron paramagnetic resonance in this field is also addressed.
