Coordination Chemistry of Acrylamide: 1. Cobalt(II) Chloride Complexes with Acrylamide – Synthesis and Crystal Structures

The molecular structures of blue dichloro‐tetrakis(acrylamide) cobalt(II), [Co{O‐OC(NH₂)CH=CH₂}₄Cl₂] ( 1 ) and pink hexakis(acrylamide)cobalt(II) tetrachlorocobaltate(II), [Co{O‐OC‐(NH₂)CH=CH₂}₆][CoCl₄] ( 2 ), characterized by single X‐ray diffraction, IR spectroscopy and elemental analyses, are described. The coordination of Co^II in 1 involves a tetragonally distorted octahedral structure with four O‐donor atoms of acrylamide in the equatorial positions and two chloride ions in the apical positions. The second complex 2 in ionic form contains Co^II cations surrounded by an octahedral array of O‐coordinated acrylamide ligands, accompanied by a [CoCl₄]^2? anion.     

Small-angle static light scattering of concentrated silica suspensions during in situ destabilization

The aggregation of concentrated aqueous silica suspensions is characterized by means of static light scattering. We use an in situ destabilization mechanism based on the enzyme-catalyzed hydrolysis of urea. This method enables us to continuously and homogeneously change the interparticle potential from repulsive to attractive without disturbing the aggregation process. Moreover, our electrostatically stabilized suspensions can be destabilized by two different methods. In the first method, the pH is shifted toward the isoelectric point of the particles ( Delta pH method), thereby leading to a decrease of their surface charge. In the second method, the ionic strength is continuously increased at constant pH ( Delta I method), leading to a compression of the electrical double layer around the charged particles. A laboratory-built flat-cell light-scattering instrument is used, which allows fast data acquisition and an adjustment of the sample cell thickness. To circumvent multiple scattering effects, we use a very small sample thickness ( approximately 13 microm). In addition, the refractive index difference between the aqueous phase and the particles is reduced by adding sucrose to the liquid phase of our suspensions. We are able to characterize the structural changes at the very early stages of the destabilization process, where no significant effects are yet detected in macroscopic rheological measurements. While during the Delta pH destabilization, the scattering curve shows significant changes only after some characteristic delay time, it changes continuously during the Delta I destabilization. The latter is attributed to the formation of a weak pre-gel structure in the suspensions, as a shallow secondary minimum appears in the interparticle potential. Data are evaluated by using a HMSA square-well structure factor model. Results are in good agreement with those predicted from DLVO theory.

Thermoanalytical investigations of psychotropic substances derived from phenothiazine and butyrophenones for isomorphism and polymorphism. II

Summary From the group of dibenzoazepine derivatives, the hydrochlorides of clomipramine, imipramine and desipramine were combined with each other and from the group of dibenzocycloheptadienes or -trienes the hydrochlorides of amitriptyline, nortriptyline, noxiptiline and protryptiline. In five of the binary systems investigated, there is formation of mixed crystals due to isomorphism with unstable modifications: imipramine hydrochloride — clomipramine hydrochloride, imipramine hydrochloride — desipramine hydrochloride, clomipramine hydrochloride 3- desipramine hydrochloride, nortriptyline hydrochloride — protriptyline hydrochloride and noxiptiline hydrochloride — amitriptyline hydrochloride. The substance pair protriptyline hydrochloride — noxiptiline hydrochloride forms a molecular compound in the ratio 11. In three cases, simple eutectics are formed.

     

Direct calculation of ionization potentials of closed-shell atoms and molecules

Vertical ionization potentials, electron affinities and information about quasi-particles can be obtained by using the technique of the single-particle propagator. The expansion of the self-energy part up to third order perturbation theory can be evaluated numerically, but does not lead, in most cases, to satisfying results. A theoretical and numerical analysis of the diagrammatic expansion of the self-energy part requires the introduction of a renormalized interaction and renormalized hole and particle lines.     

Extraction of interaction potentials from the elastic scattering amplitudes: an accurate quantum mechanical procedure

A quantum-mechanical method for obtaining the interaction potential from the elastic scattering amplitude is described. We present two examples in which nonmonotonic potentials possessing deep wells and strong repulsions are accurately determined.     

A semiclassical self-consistent field (SC SCF) approximation for eigenvalues of coupled-vibration systems

The self-consistent-field (SCF) approximation for coupled-vibron systems in the semiclassical limit yields Hartree-type equations, in which only the eigenenergies and turning points are self-consistently evaluated. Calculations yield vibrational energies in excellent agreement with quantum SCF and exact quantum results. Applications and extensions are briefly discussed.     

1-Ethyl-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-7-(pyridinyl)-3-quinolinecarboxylic acids. I. Synthesis of 3- and 4-(3-aminophenyl)pyridine intermediates

A series of substituted 3- and 4-(3-aminophenyl)pyridines has been prepared as intermediates for the synthesis of some 1-alkyl-1,4-dihydro-4-oxo-7-pyridinyl-3-quinolinecarboxylic acids. The Hantzsch, Hauser and other pyridine syntheses were used. 4-(3-Aminophenyl)pyridine was prepared via 3-(4-pyridinyl)-2-cyclohexen-1-one using the Semmler-Wolff reaction.     

The electronic structure of molecules by a many-body approach

The vertical valence ionization potentials of cyclopropane, ethylene oxide and ethylene imine are calculated by a many-body Green's function method. For C₃H₆ the ordering of the ionization potentials is 2e(), 1e(), 2a₁(), 1a₂(), 1e(). The assignment of the 2a₁ and the 1a₂ ionization potentials which has been controversial is thus clarified. The ordering is in agreement with the result obtained via Koopmans' theorem. For ethylene oxide and ethylene imine Koopmans' theorem fails in predicting the correct order of ionic states. For C₂H₄O the ordering of the ionization potentials is 2b ₁(), 4a ₁, 1a ₂(), 2b ₂,3a ₁, 1b ₁(), 1b ₂, 2a ₁ and for C₂H₅N 6a, 5a, 3a, 2a, 4a, 3a, 1a, 2a. The agreement of the computed ionization potentials with the experimental values is very satisfactory.     

TransientK-shell hyperfine fields and deduced polarizations for single-electron C and O ions in different ferromagnets

Effective transient magnetic fields have been measured for single-electron carbon and oxygen ions traversing ferromagnetic Ni and Gd hosts, respectively. The deduced values ofK-shell polarization are well explained considering spin exchange scattering as a dominant mode of polarization.     

Structural elucidation of metabolites of ritonavir and indinavir by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry

The structural elucidation of metabolites of ritonavir and indinavir, HIV-protease inhibitor drugs, by liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization mass spectrometry is described. Ritonavir and indinavir were biotransformed separately by incubation with transplant quality human liver microsomes. The incubation mixture was then analyzed by HPLC coupled to ion trap (ITMS) and triple quadrupole mass analyzers. The metabolites retained most of the structural features of the parent molecules. Baseline chromatographic resolution of isobaric species by gradient elution HPLC permitted rapid structural identification of these metabolites. Both drugs were biotransformed primarily by oxidative and hydrolytic pathways to numerous metabolites that retained many of the features of the parent molecules. Triple quadrupole and ion trap mass spectrometry were applied jointly to thoroughly detect and thoroughly characterize these metabolites. Furthermore, retention-time and data-dependent scanning assured acquisition of detailed MS-MS spectra for rapid detection of metabolic pathways of ritonavir and indinavir. Comparison of the ITMS and triple quadrupole data showed qualitative and quantitative differences in the mass spectral patterns, suggesting that these instruments should be used in parallel to ensure comprehensive metabolite detection and characterization by LC-MS.
