In the title compound, [Ni(CH5N3S)2(H2O)2](C4H3O4)2·2H2O, the Ni atom lies on a center of symmetry and is coordinated by N and S atoms from two thiosemicarbazide ligands and the O atoms of two water molecules in a distorted octahedral geometry. In the asymmetric unit, the three components are linked together by one O—H⋯O and two N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The packing is built from molecular ribbons parallel to the b direction, stabilized by intramolecular hydrogen bonds, and by one N—H⋯S and two N—H⋯O intermolecular hydrogen bonds. The ribbons are further connected into columns by N—H⋯O interactions and then into a three‐dimensional network by three O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. 相似文献
The present investigation was carried out to appraise the levels of total phenols and vitamin C as well as antioxidant potential at three different ripening stages (un-ripe, semi-ripe and fully-ripe) of guava (Psidium guajava L.) fruit collected from three different geographical regions of Pakistan (Islamabad, Faisalabad and Bhakkar). The antioxidant potential of guava fruit extracts was assessed by means of different in-vitro antioxidant assays, namely inhibition of peroxidation in linoleic acid system, reducing power and radical scavenging capability. Overall, fruit at the un-ripe stage (G1) exhibited the highest levels of TPC, TFC, reducing power and DPPH radical scavenging activity, followed by the semi-ripe (G2) and fully-ripe (G3) stages. On the other hand, vitamin C content increased as the fruit maturity progressed, with highest value seen at the fully-ripe stage (G3) followed by the semi-ripe (G2) and un-ripe stage (G1). The concentration of vitamin C in fruits varied as: Faisalabad (136.4-247.9 mg 100 g?1), Islamabad (89.7-149.7 mg 100 g?1) and Bhakkar (73.1-129.5 mg 100 g?1). The results showed that different stages of maturation and geographical locations had profound effects on the antioxidant activity and vitamin C contents of guava fruit. 相似文献
A simple and sensitive kinetic spectrophotometric method for the determination of perindopril in pharmaceutical preparations is described. The method is based on the interaction of drug with 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (CDNB) in dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) at 40+/-1 degrees C. The reaction is followed spectrophotometrically by measuring the rate of change of the absorbance at 420 nm. Under the optimized experimental conditions, the calibration curve showed a linear relationship over the concentration range of 20-140 microg/ml. The activation parameter such as E(a), deltaH*, deltaS* and deltaG* for this reaction were calculated and found to be 27.31 kJ/mol, 24.69 kJ/mol, -138.84 J/K/mol and 61.50 kJ/mol, respectively. The method has been successfully applied to the determination of perindopril in commercial dosage forms. Statistical comparison of the results with the Abdellatef's spectrophotometric method shows excellent agreement and indicates no significant difference between the methods compared in terms of accuracy and precision. 相似文献
ABSTRACTIn this work, we report an innovative tool for heavy metal screening in water samples. This new chemiluminescent set-up screens the light generated from luminol oxidation by horseradish peroxidase (HRP) in the presence of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The pollutant concentrations in real water samples were calculated by studying the effect of metal ions on chemiluminescence signal. Owing to its simplicity, portability and low cost, this approach presents a real alternative to classical optical methods. It is constructed with simple materials: a black box containing a cuvette and a micro-camera. When the enzymatic reaction takes place, the luminescence is captured by the camera placed in upright position. The image can be saved automatically in a computer for further analysis using a MATLAB interface. The RGB diagram is then established to determine the analyte concentrations in the tested samples. This method was successfully applied for the determination of mercury (Hg), lead (Pb) and cadmium (Cd) in lake and field water samples. In these experiments, three concentrations of each analytes were tested (5, 25 and 50 µg/L). We noted a good proportionality between the analyte concentration and the chemiluminescent detection intensity. Detection of binary and tertiary combinations of heavy metals has been also investigated. The developed biosensor showed low detection limits for the tested heavy metals: 1, 0.7 and 0.02 for Hg2+, Pb2+ and Cd2+, respectively. Finally, excellent recoveries ranging from 98% to 104% were obtained for the HRP-inhibition assay. 相似文献
We studied the response of rotation of spindle ring on energies, aromaticity and quadrupole moment in single-molecule revolving door (S-MERD) by using M05-2X/6-311++G** level of theory. The rotational barrier was considered about the spindle ring from 0° to 180° by 10° intervals. Energies, aromaticity and quadrupole moment values are dependent on the rotation of spindle ring of S-MERD and were plotted as functions of rotation of spindle ring. Rotational barrier of energies, aromaticity and quadrupole moment for all substituents produces a cos2θ function. The nucleus-independent chemical shifts (NICS) of spindle ring increase as the spindle ring gradually rotates out of planarity and reach the highest NICS in the perpendicular conformation. For all substituents, the values of quadrupole moment of spindle ring decrease from 0° to 90° and then increase from 90° to 180°. 相似文献
Through complete neglect of differential overlap (CNDO) calculations of the electronic energy among different possible structures of paracetamol (PA) molecule, it has been concluded that its structure has Cs point group symmetry of the cis‐form in which the methyl group has a restricted free rotation around its bond with the carbon atom of the amide group. The electronic spectra of PA compound were studied in different polar and nonpolar solvents. The temperature effect on the electronic spectra confirms the presence of one conformer only. The hydrogen bonding and the orientation energies of the polar solvents were determined from the studies of mixed solvents. Complexes of PA with metal ions M(II) (Cu++, Zn++, or Fe++) of ratio 2:1, respectively, were prepared, and their structure has been confirmed by elemental analysis, atomic absorption spectra, IR spectra, and 1H‐NMR spectra. It has been concluded that the structure of the complexes has C2h point group symmetry in which two PA molecules are chelated to any one of the metal ions Cu++, Zn++, and Fe++. 相似文献
Interaction between negatively charged Nafion® and a positively charged polybenzimidazole‐decorated carbon nanotube leads to the formation of an ionic complex with high charge density for proton conduction, which can lead to an improvement in transport properties. Here we investigate the high‐temperature and low‐humidity proton conductivity of this nanocomposite membrane as a potential membrane for fuel cell applications.
Raman spectra of individual double wall carbon nanotubes(DWs) on silica show a splitting of the G band due to contributions of the inner and outer tube when using a excitation energy in resonance with the inner metallic tube and outer semiconducting tube. The spectral splitting indicates strong coupling while a previous report [Nanoletters 8 , 3879 (2008)] shows uncoupled inner and outer tubes. The spectral line widths are comparable to what has been observed for individual single wall carbon nanotubes (SWs) or graphene. The spectral position of the inner tube is consistent with previous extrapolations from measurements under high pressure and on chemically doped double wall tubes. Bundling of DWs leads to heterogeneous increase of the G band line width. Increased laser power shifts the G band of the outer tube to higher energies and modifies its line shape. 相似文献
