Bond energy, aromatic stabilization energy and strain in IPR fullerenes

Various models applied to DFT structures and energies of 2-D and 3-D aromatic molecules shed new light on the effects of strain and aromaticity in these systems. The cyclic pi electron delocalisation does not stabilize the fullerene C60 formation; and 5-6 and 6-6 CC bonds have near-identical bond stretch potentials.     

Intramolecular easily polarizable hydrogen bonds with anilides of 1-piperidine carboxylic acids

IR spectra are plotted from anilides of 1-piperidine carboxylic acids C₅H₁₀N(CH₂)_n CONHC₆H₄R in CHCl₃ and CDCl₃ solutions. In the cases of n = 1 and n = 4, weak intramolecular (NH?N) hydrogen bonds are formed. An asymmetrical energy surface occurs and the proton is present at the N of the anilide group. In the cases of n = 2 and n = 3, intramolecular proton transfer hydrogen bonds of the types N_BH?N_P ? ^?N_B?H⁺N_p are formed. In contrast to the intramolecular OH? N ? O^?1 ? H⁺N bonds with 1-piperidine carboxylic acids, these bonds to not cause IR continua but two bands: one in the region 3250–3190 and one in the region 2500–2450 cm^?1. The fact that, instead of IR continua, bands are observed is explained by the following: (1) these hydrogen bonds are relatively long; (2) they show only a narrow distribution of bond length; (3) the electrical fields at these bonds are small, since they are strongly screened.     

Compehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography (GC×GC) and its applicability to the characterization of complex (petrochemical) mixtures

In general, petrochemical products contain only a limited number of chemical classes of compounds (sample dimensionality). The enormous number of individual components within these classes, however, soon puts limitations upon a single chromatographic technique when it comes to adequate characterization of these products. Comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography (GC×GC) clearly opens the possibility of estimating the composition of hydrocarbon mixtures in a far more detailed fashion than hitherto possible. Although the emphasis of papers of GCxGC thus far almost exclusively applies to the unsurpassed peak-capacity, in the oil industry there is a need for characterization, rather than for analyzing all the individual compounds. In principle a GCxGC system can provide an almost perfect match between its intrinsic properties and the dimensionality of oil samples. To establish the applicability of GCxGC towards petrochemical analytical challenges, a commercially aavailable prototype instrument was subjected to an exhaustive characterization of a typical hydrocarbon precess stream and a fast characterization of a light gas oil. Although there are no fundamental limitations towards the quantitative aspects of a GCxGC system, this paper confines itself to qualitative results only. Quantitative aspects of GCxGC will be published in a forthcoming paper.     

The application of triphenylmethane dyes to visualization of selected aliphatic compounds in thin-layer chromatography

Selected triphenylmethane dyes were used as new visualizing agents in thin-layer chromatography of higher fatty acids, higher fatty alcohols, and higher aliphatic amines.     

Analysis of anthracycline antitumour drugs in tissues and body fluids using liquid chromatography

Anthracyclines, with doxorubicin as the major representative, are amongst the most important chemotherapeutic agents used in cancer therapy. In order to reduce the severe side effects associated with their use, and to increase therapeutic efficacy, analogue development still continues, and analytical requirements change concomitantly. The available methods for bioanalysis of anthracyclines are summarized, with emphasis on high-performance liquid chromatography. Attention is paid to sample pretreatment, the possibilities of liquid—liquid and solid-phase extraction, and the chromatographic behaviour of the anthracyclines.     

Positron annihilation in and compressibility of n-butanol in ethylene glycol, 1,2-butanediol and 1,4-butanediol: Do hydrophobic-like phenomena occur in non-aqueous, highly-associated solvents?

Experimental results of positron annihilation experiments in solutions of n-butanol in three diols are compared to those of ultrasonic velocity and absorption. Variations of the annihilation parameters with composition show that the effect of the hydrophobic solute on the original diol structure is rather limited and occurs only in the system where ethylene glycol is the solvent. Subtle similarities were found when compared it to the respective results for similar aqueous systems, suggesting that crystalline-like solvates are forming in ethylene glycol. However, no such evidences were found for the systems where butanediols are the solvents. Ultrasonic investigations do not confirm formation of any specific structures. This is caused, most possibly, by the fact that compressibility of solvates is close to those of the pure components and/or that of unstructured medium (regular solution).     

Amperometry with two polarizable electrodes. XVI

Summary Conditions for the magnesium determination in alkaline solution by EDTA titration with biamperometric indication were examined. The most preferable pH range was found to be above 9.6. A reliable determination can be carried out in the presence of Ca, Ni, Cu and Co up to the ratio of 11. In the case of higher concentrations of Cu and Ni masking with potassium cyanide can be used. In this case, however, a change of the titration curves occurs.A new method for the determination of water-hardness by biamperometric indication is proposed. It is rapid and accurate and meets the requirements of routine and research work (error: ±1%).

Zusammenfassung Die Bedingungen für die Magnesiumbestimmung in alkalischer Lösung durch Titration mit ÄDTA bei biamperometrischer Endpunktsanzeige wurden untersucht. Der günstigste pH-Bereich liegt über 9,6. Zuverlässige Bestimmungen können in Gegenwart von Ca, Ni, Cu und Co bis zum Verhältnis 11 ausgeführt werden. Höhere Konzentrationen an Cu oder Ni können mit KCN maskiert werden, wobei allerdings eine Umkehrung der Kurven auftritt.Ein Verfahren zur Wasserhärtebestimmung mit biamperometrischer Indikation wird vorgeschlagen, das schnell durchzuführen ist und genaue Werte liefert (Fehler ±1%).

The synthesis of 4‐amino‐3‐(2‐pyridyl)pyrazolo[5,1‐c][1,2,4]triazine and some of its derivatives

A mixture of both geometrical isomers of hydrazones 3a‐3e was obtained by the coupling reactions of pyrazole‐3‐diazonium salts 2a‐2d and benzenediazonium chloride 2e with 2‐pyridylacetonitrile 1 . Hydrazones 3a‐3d were cyclized to the corresponding 4‐amino‐3‐(2‐pyridyl)pyrazolo[5,1‐c][1,2,4]triazines 4a‐4d.
