Surface and micellar properties of new nonionic gemini aldonamide-type surfactants

A new group of gemini aldonamide-type surfactants-N,N'-bisalkyl-N,N'-bis[(3-gluconylamide)propyl]ethylenediamines, N,N'-bisdodecyl-N,N'-bis[(3-glucoheptonylamide)propyl]ethylenediamine, and N,N'-bisalkyl-N,N'-bis[(3-lactobionylamide)propyl]ethylenediamines, (alkyl: n-C(8)H(17), n-C(12)H(25)), were synthesized and characterized. The surface properties, such as surface excess concentration, Gamma(cmc), surface area demand per molecule, A(min), efficiency in surface tension reduction, pC(20), the effectiveness of surface tension reduction, gamma(cmc), critical micelle concentration, cmc, and a measure of the tendency of the surfactant to adsorb at the aqueous/air interface relative to its tendency to form micelles in the bulk surfactant solution, cmc/C(20), and standard free energy of micellization, DeltaG(mic)(0), have been obtained by means of surface tension measurements. The standard fluorescence shift technique using PRODAN as a probe provide confirmation of the cmc values by an alternative method. Additionally, the micellar properties for the concentration near above the cmc have been characterized by the aggregation number, N(agg). The presence of the dimeric segments with the aldonamide hydrophilic units in the surfactant molecule is found to be the source of their unusual physicochemical behavior. They are very efficient at adsorbing at the free surface and at forming micelles in water. Their critical micelle concentration values are remarkably low. They reveal remarkably low A(min) values in relation to conventional nonionic surfactants, which is unexpected from the molecular dimensions for the molecule but which is possible if one assumes some type of multilayer structure or a coherent interfacial film.     

Thermophysical properties and thermodynamic phase behavior of ionic liquids

The thermal stability of many tested ionic liquids (ILs) was investigated by the TGA and DTA curves over the wide temperature range from 200 to 780 K. The TGA curves have mainly a sigmoid shape, which can be split into three segments. The thermal decomposition of the samples was higher than 500 K. For the ammonium salts, C₂BF₄, or C₂PF₆, or C₂N(CN)₂, or C₄Br, the temperatures of the decompositions were 583.5, 556.1, 545.1 and 525.3 K, respectively. Generally, it was found that the temperature of decomposition of investigated ionic liquid is strongly depended on the type of cation and the anion. Phase equilibria and thermophysical constants were measured also for the dialkoxy-imidazolium ILs, [(C₄H₉OCH₂)₂IM][BF₄], [(C₈H₁₇OCH₂)₂IM][Tf₂N], [(C₁₀H₂₁OCH₂)₂IM][Tf₂N] and for pyridinium IL, [Pyr][BF₄].The characterization and purity of the compounds were obtained by the elemental analysis, water content (Fisher method) and differential scanning microcalorimetry (DSC) analysis. From (DSC) method, the melting points, the enthalpies of fusion, the temperatures and enthalpies of solid-solid phase transitions and the half C_p temperatures of glass transition of all investigated ionic liquids were measured.The phase equilibria of these salts with common popular solvents: water, or alcohols or n-alkanes, or aromatic hydrocarbons have been measured by a dynamic method from 290 K to the melting point of IL, or to the boiling point of the solvent in the whole mole fraction range, x from 0 to 1.These salts mainly exhibit simple eutectic systems with immiscibility in the liquid phase with upper critical solution temperatures (UCST), not only with aromatic hydrocarbons, cycloalkanes and n-alkanes but also with longer chain alcohols. For example the C₂BF₄ salt show simple eutectic system with water and simple eutectic systems with immiscibility in the liquid phase with upper critical solution temperature with alcohols.The solid-liquid phase equilibria, SLE curves were correlated by means of the different G^Ex models utilizing parameters derived from the SLE. The root-mean-square deviations of the solubility temperatures for all calculated data depend on the particular system and the equation used.     

Phenolic Composition and Biological Properties of Wild and Commercial Dog Rose Fruits and Leaves

Rosa canina L. (dog rose) is a rich source of phenolic compounds that offer great hope for the prevention of chronic human diseases. Herein, wild and commercial samples of dog rose were chemically characterized with respect to their phenolic composition by liquid chromatography coupled to diode array detection and electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (LC-DAD-ESI/MS). Furthermore, in vitro antioxidant properties and antibacterial activity of dog rose fruits and leaves hydromethanolic extracts and infusions were also evaluated. The results revealed that wild and commercial fruits of dog rose are similar in terms of l(+)-ascorbic acid, total phenolics (TPC), total flavonoids (TFC) and total phenolic acids (TPAC) content, individual phenolic constituents and antioxidant activity. Moreover, the fruits had lower levels of phenolic compounds and also revealed lower biological activity than the leaves. On the other hands, the highest content of TPC, TFC, TPAC, individual phenolic constituents, DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) scavenging activity and FRAP (ferric reducing antioxidant power) were found in the leaf’s infusions. They were also the only ones to show antibacterial activity. Overall, these finding confirmed usefulness of R. canina L. leaves and fruits as a rich source of bioactive phenolic compounds with potential use in food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries.     

TheO,O′-dibenzoyl derivative of (R,R)-tartaric acid as a host compound for simple organic ethers

TheO, O-dibenzoyl derivative of (R, R)-tartaric acid shows a good inclusion ability for diethyl and di-n-propol ethers. The two crystalline inclusion compounds have 1:1 stoichiometry and reveal isomorphous structures. Hydrogen bonded host molecules form chains running along thez axis of the unit cell and guest molecules join to these chains by short O–H...O hydrogen bonds. Hydrogen bonding in the crystals is characterized by a C(7)D first-order network. The ether molecules are in a fully extended conformation. They are accommodated in channel-like voids running along thex axis. Atomic displacement parameters are significantly larger for diethyl ether than for the di-n-propyl ether molecule reflecting less dense packing for this inclusion compound.Supplementary Data: relating to this article are deposited with the British Library as Supplementary Publication No. SUP 82195 (19 pages)     

Sequential spectrophotometric determination of rhodium and iridium with 1,5-diphenylcarbazide

Rhodium and iridium in mixtures are determined sequentially with 1,5-diphenylcarbazide at pH 5.0. The rhodium complex is formed at 70°C and is extracted into isobutanol for measurement. The iridium complex is then formed by heating for 45 min and measured in aqueous solution. Beer's law is obeyed over the ranges 0.56–2.8 μg ml^?1 for rhodium and 0.53–3 μg ml^?1 for iridium. Pt, Pd, Sn, Co, Ni and Cr can be tolerated in small amounts.     

Structural and Physicochemical Characteristics of Tetrabutylammonium Tetrahalogenoferrates(III), [(C4H9)4N][FeBr4−nCln]

A series of tetrahalogenoferrates(III), [FeBr_4?nCl_n]^? (n=0‐4) stabilized with the tetrabutylammonium cation, of general formula [(C₄H₉)₄N][FeBr_4?nCl_n], has been synthesized. The crystal and molecular structure of [(C₄H₉)₄N][FeCl₄] was determined. The iron cation adopts slightly distorted tetrahedral coordination with two opposite angles smaller than tetrahedral one, two equal to tetrahedral and two larger than tetrahedral. The bond valences were computed. The total valence of iron atom is equal to 3.08. In the structure can be found only one hydrogen bond C(1)–H···Cl. Except mentioned there are no unusually intermolecular short contacts between ions existing in the structure. All [(C₄H₉)₄N][FeBr_4?nCl_n] (n=0‐4) compounds are isostructural in solid state. On the basis of conductometric measurements, relative stabilities of the anions have been estimated in methanol (MeOH), dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), acetone (AC), acetonitrile (AN) and dichloromethane (CH₂Cl₂) representing both polar (including amphiprotic and aprotic) as well as non‐polar solvents. Further, the dissociation constants of the compounds were calculated from the expanded Pitt's conductivity equation. The results of the conductometric measurements were supported by electronic spectra.     

Efficient synthesis of 1,2,4-dithiazolidine-3,5-diones (dithiasuccinoyl-amines) and observations on formation of 1,2,4-thiadiazolidine-3,5-diones by related chemistry

An efficient synthesis of 1,2,4-dithiazolidine-3,5-diones ( 1 ) from chlorocarbonylsulfenyl chloride ( 3 ) plus O-dimethylaminoethyl-N-alkyl or aryl thiocarbamates ( 4 ) has been worked out. In this synthesis, 1,2,4-thiadiazolidine-3,5-diones ( 5 ) have been shown to arise as low-level by-products, and experiments were conducted to elucidate the mechanism of the side reaction. N,N′-Dimethyl-1,2,4-thiadiazolidine-3,5-dione ( 5a ) was prepared in one step from N,N′-dimethylurea plus 3 , or from 4a plus one equivalent of sulfuryl chloride. A general route to 5 involved reaction of equimolar amounts of isocyanates ( 6 ), isothiocyanates ( 7 ) and sulfuryl chloride followed by hydrolysis of intermediate 9 . Heterocycles reported have been characterized by nmr, ir, uv, ms, and hplc.     

Electroporation and Electrochemotherapy in Gynecological and Breast Cancer Treatment

Gynecological carcinomas affect an increasing number of women and are associated with poor prognosis. The gold standard treatment plan is mainly based on surgical resection and subsequent chemotherapy with cisplatin, 5-fluorouracil, anthracyclines, or taxanes. Unfortunately, this treatment is becoming less effective and is associated with many side effects that negatively affect patients’ physical and mental well-being. Electroporation based on tumor exposure to electric pulses enables reduction in cytotoxic drugs dose while increasing their effectiveness. EP-based treatment methods have received more and more interest in recent years and are the subject of a large number of scientific studies. Some of them show promising therapeutic potential without using any cytotoxic drugs or molecules already present in the human body (e.g., calcium electroporation). This literature review aims to present the fundamental mechanisms responsible for the course of EP-based therapies and the current state of knowledge in the field of their application in the treatment of gynecological neoplasms.     

Effect of SOCl2 treatment on electrical and mechanical properties of single-wall carbon nanotube networks

Chemical modification by SOCl2 of an entangled network of purified single-wall carbon nanotubes, also known as 'bucky paper', is reported to profoundly change the electrical and mechanical properties of this system. Four-probe measurements indicate a conductivity increase by up to a factor of 5 at room temperature and an even more pronounced increase at lower temperatures. This chemical modification also improves the mechanical properties of SWNT networks. Whereas the pristine sample shows an overall semiconducting character, the modified material behaves as a metal. The effect of SOCl2 is studied in terms of chemical doping of the nanotube network. We identified the microscopic origin of these changes using SEM, XPS, NEXAFS, EDX, and Raman spectroscopy measurements and ab initio calculations. We interpret the SOCl2-induced conductivity increase by p-type doping of the pristine material. This conclusion is reached by electronic structure calculations, which indicate a Fermi level shift into the valence band, and is consistent with the temperature dependence of the thermopower.
