Spectrophotometric determination of thorium in food using 2-(2,5-disulfonic-4-methoxyphenylazo)-7-(2-hydroxyl-5-carboxylphenylazo)-1,8-dihydroxynaphthalene-3,6-disulfonic acid

A new highly sensitive and selective chromogenic reagent, 2-(2,5-disulfonic-4-methoxyphenylazo)-7-(2-hydroxyl-5-carboxylphenylazo)-1,8-dihydroxynaphthalene-3,6-disulfonic acid (1), was synthesized and applied to the spectrophotometric determination of trace thorium. In 5 mL of a 6 M perchloric acid medium, which greatly increases the selectivity, thorium reacts with 1 to form a 1: 2 green complex, having a sensitive absorption peak at 670 nm. Under optimal conditions, Beer’s law is obeyed over the range from 0 to 0.8 μg/mL Th(IV) and the apparent molar absorptivity is 2.09 × 10⁵ L/mol cm. It is found that, uranium(VI), Ti(IV), heavy rare earths, and most of other common metal ions do not interfere. The method has been tested on the determination of thorium in food samples with satisfactory results. The text was submitted by the authors in English.     

Aggregate manganese Schiff base moieties by terephthalate or acetate: dinuclear manganese and trinuclear mixed metal Mn2/Na complexes

A reaction system consisting of terephthalic acid, NaOH, inorganic Mn(II) or Mn(III) salt, and salicylidene alkylimine resulted in dinuclear manganese complexes (salpn)(2)Mn(2)(mu-phth)(CH(3)OH)(2) (1, salpn = N,N'-1,3-propylene-bis(salicylideneiminato); phth = terephthalate dianion), (salen)(2)Mn(2)(mu-phth)(CH(3)OH)(2) (2, salen = N,N'-ethylene-bis(salicylideneiminato)), (salen)(2)Mn(2)(mu-phth)(CH(3)OH)(H(2)O) (3), and (salen)(2)Mn(2)(mu-phth) (4), while the absence of NaOH in the reaction led to a mononuclear Mn complex (salph)Mn(CH(3)OH)(NO(3)) (5, salph = N,N'-1,2-phenylene-bis(salicylideneiminato)). In addition, a trinuclear mixed metal complex H[Mn(2)Na(salpn)(2)(mu-OAc)(2)(H(2)O)(2)](OAc)(2) (6) was obtained from the reaction system by using maleic acid instead of terephthalic acid. Five-coordinate Mn ions were found in 4 giving rise to an intermolecular interaction and constructing a one-dimensional linear structure. Antiferromagnetic exchange interactions were observed for 1-3, and a total ferromagnetic exchange of 4 was considered to stem from intermolecular magnetic coupling. (1)H NMR signals of phenolate ring and alkylene (or phenylene) backbone of the diamine are similar to those reported in the literature, and the phth protons are at -2.3 to -10.1 ppm. Studies on structure, bond valence sum analysis, and magnetic properties indicate the oxidation states of the Mn ions in 6 to be +3, which are also indicated by ESR spectra in dual mode. Ferromagnetic exchange interaction between the Mn(III) sites was observed with J = 1.74 cm(-1). A quasireversible redox pair at -0.29V/-0.12V has been assigned to the redox of Mn(2)(III)/Mn(III)Mn(II), implying the intactness of the complex backbone in solution.     

A Spectrophotometric Study OE Zirconium Complexes of 4,5-Dihydroxyfluorescein

Zirconium (IV) ions form violet red complex with 4,5-dihydroxyfluorescein in fairly strong mineral acid medium. The reagent has been successfully applied as a metal indicator in the direct EDTA titration of zirconium. The complex formed by 4,5-dihydroxyfluorescein and zirconium ions has been studied spectrophotometrically in 0.1M HCl solution. It is found that when an excess of metal ion is present, a violet red colored complex with metal-ligand ratio of 1:1, (MR) is formed and when an excess of 4,5-dihydroxyfluorescein is present a 1:2 complex (MR₂) may be predominant. The 1:1 complex has maximum absorption at 510 mμ and the 1:2 complex has very low solubility and tends to precipitate out from the solution. Job's method, log-ratio method and gravimetric method were used to establish the composition of complexes. The apparent stability constant of the 1:1 complex is found to be log K_h = 4.46 or K_h = 2.9×10¹ at pH 1.2.     

Linear crystallization and induction-period studies of the growth of calcium sulphate dihydrate crystals

The linear crystallization of well-formed crystallites of calcium sulphate dihydrate from supersaturated solutions has been studied by a microscopic method at temperatures ranging from 25 degrees to 55 degrees . The activation energy is 16 +/- 1.5 kcal/mole for the fast-growing faces. Induction periods in the crystallization of calcium sulphate dihydrate have been determined as a function of solution concentration at temperatures of 25 degrees and 90 degrees .

Theoretical and experimental studies of the electrochemistry of <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-aminophenol on a golden electrode

The geometric parameters, vibrational frequencies, and thermochemical values of p-quinonimine (p-AQ) and p-aminophenol (p-AP) were computed ab initio (IIF) and by the density functional theory (DFT) method with the 6-31G(d, p) basis set. Cyclic voltammetry with a golden electrode of p-AP solutions in phosphate buffers at pH 7.30 showed that the standard electrode potential of half reaction for p-QI and p-AP was 0.728 V. The standard electrode potentials of half reactions for p-QI and p-AP were calculated using the free energies and solvation energies of p-QI, p-AP, p-benzoquinone (p-BQ), and hydroquinone (p-HQ). The results showed that the standard electrode potential of half reaction for p-QI and p-AP was 0.743 V at the B3LYP/6-31G(d, p) level and 0.755 V at the HF/6-31G(d, p) level. The standard electrode potentials computed at the B3LYP/6-31G(d, p) and HF/6-31G(d, p) levels were close to their experimental values. The article is published in the original.     

低压催化氚化亮石松碱的定位效应的研究

近年来,中草药有效成分的研究引起国内外有关学者普遍关注。氚标记中草药有效成分是研究其相应的药代动力学和代谢产物的主要手段,它具有操作简便,条件温和等优点,但是一般氚化方法均不能明确给出氚化位置。而研究氚化定位效应又是药理工作者急待解决的重要课题,所以在很大程度上限制了该项技术的使用范围。最近,郑冬珠等人用FX—100型核磁共振谱仪给出了在PdO催化剂存在条件下,低压氚化亮石松碱的氚化位置及其相对含量。本文在前文基础上,以亮石松碱为底物,根据Fraser和Garnett等人提出的氢—氚同位素交换反应动力学理论,采用CNDO/2法,对PdO催化亮石松碱的立体构型讲行了计算,得出一些有意义的结果。     

Determination of dispersity of crushed granite

Summary Experimental crushed granite column breakthrough curves, using ⁹⁹Tc as spike tracer and ³H as invariant tracer, were analyzed by different linear regression techniques. Dispersity of crushed granite and the retardation factor of ⁹⁹TcO₄^- on the crushed granite were determined simultaneously by one linear regression. Dispersity of crushed granite was also obtained with ³H as invariant tracer by the other linear regression. The dispersities found by spike source and invariant source methods are compared. Experimental results show that the dispersity found by the spike source method is close to that found by the invariant source method. This indicates that dispersity is only a characteristic of the dispersion medium.     

Stereocontrolled synthesis of bicyclic lactone derivatives via tungsten-mediated [3 + 2] cycloaddition of epoxides with a tethered alkynyl group

In the presence of BF3*Et2O, alkynyltungsten complexes underwent [3 + 2] cycloaddition with tethered epoxides to give bicyclic -lactones efficiently. Only one diastereomeric product was formed despite the presence of three stereogenic centers. A mechanism is proposed that involves formation of a tungsten-vinylidenium species via an SN2 attack of the epoxide carbon by an alkynyltungsten group to give a tungsten-enol ether species via counterattack at the central tungsten-vinylidenium carbon by the OBF3- terminus. Most of the tungsten enol ether species were too unstable for isolation and underwent hydrolysis to give only cis-fused -bicyclic lactones. This cyclization works for both cis- and trans-epoxides and tolerates various functional groups. In the case of trans-phenyl epoxide, the reaction led to an addition product via a 6-endo attack of epoxide by the tungsten fragment. This method provides a simple enantiospecific synthesis of complex bicyclic lactones if a chiral epoxide is used in the cyclization. It is also applicable to the one-pot synthesis of bicyclic unsaturated gamma-lactones if a suitable alkynyltungsten functionality is used.
