Phosphate transfer from the 8-dimethylammonium-naphthyl-1-phosphate monoanion 4m to water and to a range of nucleophiles shows general acid catalysis by the neighboring NH(+) group, through the strong intramolecular hydrogen bond. Reactivity is insensitive to the charge on the nucleophile, so that fluoride and oxyanions displace dimethylaminonaphthol from the PO3(2-) group as effectively as do amines of the same basicity. Reactivity is (predictably) relatively insensitive to the basicity of the nucleophile and to the alpha-effect. A strong intramolecular hydrogen bond is present in the product, but also in the reactant, as evidenced by major perturbations in the pK(a)'s of the phosphate and dimethylamino groups, to 3.94 and 9.31, respectively, and by ab initio calculations. Rate accelerations are of the order of 10(6)-fold despite this stabilization: the strength of the hydrogen bond is evidently significantly enhanced in the transition state. The evidence suggests that it also depends remarkably strongly on the degree of ionization of the reacting phosphate group and will be significantly reduced for the neutral PO(OH)2 group. Thus, the hydrolysis of the substrate cation 4+ shows a correspondingly greater, >10(8)-fold acceleration. 相似文献
The two negative charges on a phosphate monoester RO-PO32- at neutral pH provide a considerable electrostatic barrier toward reactions with nucleophilic reagents with a negative charge on the attacking atom. Electrostatic repulsion disappears when the hydrolysis of an aryl phosphate monoester is catalyzed by a neighboring cationic general acid. The hydrolysis of 8-dimethylammonium-1-phosphate (1) is catalyzed by oxyanions, fluoride anion, and hydroxylamines at similar rates. 相似文献
This work describes the effect of a variety of metal ions as quenchers of the fluorescence of naphthalene, in aqueous micellar solutions of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). The quenching by the metal ions can be adequately described by the Stern-Volmer equation and the best signal to noise ratios are obtained with low micellized detergent concentrations. Apparent Stern-Volmer constants decrease in the order: Fe3+ > Cu2+ > Pb2+ > Cr3+ > Ni2+ and directly reflect the relative sensitivity of the method for these ions. Detection limits (defined as three times the standard deviation of the blank for n= 10) for the fluorescence quenching of naphthalene by the metal ions in aqueous micellar SDS are in the range of 1.0 x 10(-6) to 1.0 x 10(-5) mol dm(-3). The proposed fluorescence quenching method shows good repeatibility for a variety of added quencher metal ions, indicating that anionic micelle-enhanced fluorescence quenching by metal ions constitutes an analytical method of rather general application. 相似文献
A novel Schiff base designated as 5-[(3-methylthiophene-2-yl-methyleneamino)]-2-mercaptobenzimidazole was synthesized and characterized. A polyvinyl chloride-membrane potentiometric copper(II)-selective sensor was prepared by using the synthesized 5-[(3-methylthiophene-2-yl-methyleneamino)]-2-mercaptobenzimidazole compound. The prepared polyvinyl chloride-membrane copper(II)-selective sensor exhibited very good selectivity and sensitive potentiometric response towards copper(II) ions compared to a wide variety of other cations. The sensor had a fast response time of <5?s, and showed a linear Nerstian behavior to copper(II) ions over a wide concentration range from 1.0?×?10?5 to 1.0?×?10?1 mol L?1 with a slope of 29.2?±?0.7 and correlation coefficient of 0.9998. The prepared polyvinyl chloride-membrane copper(II)-selective sensor was used for 14 weeks without any significant change in its potentiometric response. The potentiometric response of the developed sensor was highly repeatable. Additionally, the developed sensor was used as an indicator electrode for the potentiometric titration of copper(II) ion with ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid. The sensor was also successfully applied to the direct determination of copper(II) ions in tap water, river water, and dam water samples. 相似文献
Knowledge management is widely considered as a strategic tool to increase firm performance by enabling the reuse of organizational knowledge. Although many have studied knowledge management in a variety of business settings, the concept of tacit knowledge, especially the individual one, has not been explored in due detail. The objective of this study is to identify and prioritize individual tacit knowledge criteria and to explain their effects on firm performance. In the proposed methodology, first, the most prevalent individual tacit knowledge variables are identified by means of knowledge elicitation and feature selection methods. Then, the extracted variables were prioritized using machine learning methods and fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). Support vector machine (SVM), logistic regression, and artificial neural networks are used as the first approach, followed by fuzzy AHP as the second approach. Based on the comparative analysis results, SVM (as the best-performed machine-learning technique) and fuzzy AHP methods were identified for the subsequent analysis. The results showed that both SVM and fuzzy AHP determined time efficiency of employees, communication between employees and supervisors, and innovative capability of employees as the most important tacit knowledge criteria. These findings are mostly supported by the extant literature, and collectively shows the synergistic nature of the utilized analytics approaches in determining individual tacit knowledge criteria.
A finite difference method is used to solve a one-dimensional solidification problem with a periodic boundary condition prescribed at the bottom of the mold of finite thickness. The temperature distributions in the solidified shell and mold, the position of the moving freezing front, and its velocity are evaluated. Analytical results are obtained for the limiting cases and then compared with the numerical predictions to establish the validity of the model and the numerical approach. Interactive effects of the process parameters such as Stefan number of the solidified shell material, the mold thickness, the thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity between the shell and mold materials on the evolution of the freezing front and its velocity are investigated in detail. The results show that the solidified materials with larger Stefan number grow slower than those with relatively smaller Stefan number. The impact of oscillating mold temperature boundary on the growth of shell thickness is particularly significant at earlier stages of the process and more pronounced for smaller Stefan numbers. Increasing mold thickness or thermal conductivity ratio between the shell and mold materials slows down the evolution of the shell thickness. 相似文献
Mixtures of Zn(II) and 8-hydroxyquinoline (8QOH) in a 1:2 proportion, in aqueous solutions, result in fast complexation, followed by precipitation. Addition of 0.05 M sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), N-dodecyl-N,N-dimethylammonio-1-propanesulfonate (SB3-12), N-hexadecyl-N,N-dimethylammonio-1-propanesulfonate (SB3-16) or Triton X-100 results in considerable retardation of precipitation. In the presence of SDS, SB3-12, SB3-16 and Triton X-100 the 8QOH chelates are only kinetically stable in solution and after 24 h, the precipitation is almost quantitative. Conversely, upon addition of the cationic surfactant hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTABr), the absorbance of the complex remains constant even after at least six months. The interaction of the ligand 8QOH (and of the (8QO)(2)Zn(II) complex) with the cationic surfactant was studied by ultraviolet and NMR spectroscopy and 8QOH has a pK(a)=9.05 in the presence of the cationic surfactant and the ligand intercalates in the micelle, being preferentially located near the headgroup of the micelle. Although the solubilization site of the (8QO)(2)Zn(II) complex is similar to that of 8QOH, the interaction of the aromatic moiety with the CTA(+) headgroup is much stronger, due to the increased electron density in the aromatic ring of the ligand. As a consequence of this interaction, sphere to rod transition and an increase in microscopic and macroscopic viscosity are observed. 相似文献
We present herein a new catalyst-free and solvent-free approach for the synthesis of allylic thioethers directly from allylic alcohols and thiols. The methodology allows the synthesis of different allylic thioethers in good to excellent yields under microwave irradiation. Theoretical calculations for the allylic carbocation helped to explain the regioselectivity observed when nonsymmetric substrates are used in the reaction. 相似文献
