The accuracy of a novel electroanalytical route to determine total isoflavones using a secondary standard from Drug Master File (SW/1211/03) as metrological reference with well‐known traceability and its applicability using representative soy samples is demonstrated. Calibration protocols were used i) for choosing a suitable isoflavone standard to determine the total isoflavone content, ii) to evaluate matrix effects and, iii) to evaluate the overall reliability and performance of the method in analytical operations, extraction and analysis. The inherent electroactivity of both, aglycones and glycoside structures and the similar analytical sensitivity exhibited by the prominent soy isoflavones was relevant to determine the total amount with reliability in terms of accuracy (E<10%) and precision (RSDs<7%) in soy samples. In consequence, the introduction of the term isoflavonoid index as the total amount of isoflavones obtained when they are amperometrically monitorized at +1.0 V as a particular case of the electrochemical index concept is proposed. 相似文献
Cadmium (7–80 ng ml?1) is extracted with diethyldithiocarbamate into chloroform from aqueous media, at pH 11–12 and the fluorescent complex is developed by addition of a calcein solution in dimethylformamide. The method is applied to the determination of cadmium in waste waters, high-purity metals and zinc ores. 相似文献
Several cyanogold complexes react with the binuclear nickel complex [(Ni(dien)(H(2)O))(2)(mu-ox)](PF(6))(2).2H(2)O to give the compounds [(Ni(dien)(H(2)O))(2)(mu-ox)]Br(2) (1), [(Ni(dien)(Au(CN)(2)))(2)(mu-ox)] (2), and [(Ni(dien))(2)(mu-ox)(mu-Au(CN)(4))](PF(6)) (3) (dien, diethilenetriamine; ox, oxalate). In the case of compounds 2 and 3, water displacement by the corresponding cyanogold complex takes place, whereas compound 1 is formed by a substitution of the anion. The crystal structures of compounds 1 and 2 present a 2D arrangement where the layers are connected by van der Waals forces (1) or N-H.Ntbd1;C hydrogen bonds (2), where each binuclear complex is hydrogen bonded to its neighbors, whereas compound 3 presents a novel structure where the tetracyanoaurate acts as a bridging ligand to give a polymeric compound. Magnetic studies of these compounds reveal an antiferromagnetic behavior. Finally, density functional theory (DFT) calculations have been performed on isolated models of compounds 2 and 3 in order to gain some insight about the different behavior of the [Au(CN)(2)](-) and [Au(CN)(4)](-) groups as ligands and proton acceptors in hydrogen bonds. 相似文献
Enynes connected through aromatic rings are used as substrates for metathesis reactions. The reactivity of three ruthenium carbene complexes is compared. The resulting 1,3-dienes are suitable precursors of polycyclic structures via a Diels-Alder process. Some domino RCM-Diels-Alder reactions are performed, suggesting a possible beneficial effect of the ruthenium catalyst in the cycloaddition process. Other examples require Lewis acid cocatalyst. When applied to aromatic ynamines or enamines, a new synthesis of vinylindoles is achieved. Monitorization of several metathesis reactions with NMR shows the different behavior for ruthenium catalysts. New carbenic species are detected in some reactions with an important dependence on the solvent used. 相似文献
A new method for the fluorometric determination of zearalenone (ZEN) based on its reaction with βNADH in the presence of the enzyme 3α-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (3α-HSD) is described. The procedure is based on the change in fluorescence intensity that takes place during the enzymatic reaction (excitation at 340 nm and emission at 454 nm). The optimum reaction conditions and the analytical characteristics were studied; linear response range (1-10 mg l−1) and reproducibility (8 mg l−1, 2.7%, n=7). Moreover, a mathematical model explaining the analytical signal is proposed. The method has been applied to zearalenone determination in a spiked corn sample. 相似文献
The separation and simultaneous determination of doxorubicin, daunorubicin and idarubicin was investigated using capillary electrophoresis with laser-induced fluorescence detection. Because the three anthracycline antibiotics were similar in structure and mass, careful manipulation of the electroosmotic flow and electrophoretic mobilities was required. A buffer consisting of 100 mM borate, adjusted to pH 9.5, containing 30% acetonitrile was found to provide a very efficient and stable electrophoretic system for the analysis of the three anthracyclines. The method was applied to the determination of three anthracyclines in serum samples. Responses were linear in the range of 10-500 ng.mL-1 and the detection limits were lower than 0.9 ng.mL-1. 相似文献
In this work, a combined methodology using off-line solid-phase extraction (SPE), on-line field-enhanced sample injection (FESI) and coelectroosmotic capillary electrophoresis with UV detection (CE-UV) is developed for the trace analysis of five triazolopyrimidine sulfonanilide pesticides (i.e., flumetsulam, florasulam, cloransulam-methyl, diclosulam and metosulam). An adequate background electrolyte (BGE) was obtained for the separation of these pesticides using hexadimethrine bromide (HDB) as electroosmotic flow (EOF) modifier. This BGE consisted of 0.00042% HDB, 11 mM formic acid, 16 mM ammonium carbonate and 2.5 mM alpha-CD solution at pH 7.6. The use of this running buffer together with the FESI preconcentration method provided limits of detection (LODs) in the low microg/L range (i.e., between 13.0 and 31.5 microg/L). The optimized FESI-CE-UV method was combined with off-line SPE using C(18) cartridges and applied to the determination of the selected group of pesticides in soil samples. Recovery percentages ranged between 50 and 84% in these samples with LODs between 18 and 34 microg/kg. This work shows the great possibilities of the combined use of SPE-FESI-CE-UV to improve CE sensitivity allowing the achievement of LODs similar to other analytical techniques as GC or HPLC. 相似文献
Solid-phase microextraction coupled to GC-MS was optimised for the determination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), phthalate esters and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in water samples. A 30-microm polydimethylsiloxane fiber was immersed in a 30-ml water sample that contained the analytes of interest (PAHs, PCBs and phthalate esters) and the variables studied were extraction time (15-60 min), extraction temperature (30-90 degrees C), desorption time (1-5 min), desorption temperature (220-270 degrees C) and the addition of sodium chloride (0-9 g). The MultiSimplex programme based on the simplex algorithm was used to establish the optimal conditions. MultiSimplex allowed the simultaneous study of the variables mentioned above and considered the answers of all types of compounds studied in this work. Thus, the optimal conditions obtained allowed the simultaneous determination of PAHs, phthalate esters and PCBs. Furthermore, the accuracy and repeatability of the developed method were calculated from water samples spiked at known concentrations of the analytes. Finally, the optimised method was used to analyse water samples from different sampling points of the Urdaibai and Nerbioi-Ibaizabal estuaries (Biscay, Spain). 相似文献
The establishment of fragmentation pathways has a great interest in the identification of new or unknown related compounds present in complex samples. On that way, tentative fragmentation pathways for the ions generated by atmospheric pressure ionization of neutral per- and polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFASs) have been proposed in this work. Electrospray (ESI), atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) and photoionization (APPI) were evaluated using mobile phases and source conditions that enhance the ionization efficiency of ions generated. A hybrid mass spectrometer consisting of a linear ion trap and an Orbitrap was used to combine the information of both multiple-stage mass spectrometry (MSn) and mass accuracy measurements to characterize and establish the genealogical relationship between the product ions observed. The ionization mechanisms to generate ions such as [M–H]−, [M]−•, and [M+O2]−• or the in-source collision-induced dissociation (CID) fragment ions in each API source are discussed in this study. In general, fluorotelomer olefins (FTOs) ionized in negative-ion APCI and APPI generated the molecular ion, while fluorotelomer alcohols (FTOHs) also provided the deprotonated molecule. Besides, fluorooctane sulfonamides (FOSAs) and sulfonamido-ethanols (FOSEs) led to the deprotonated molecule and in-source CID fragment ions, respectively. The fragmentation pathways from these precursor ions mainly involved initial α,β-eliminations of HF units and successive losses of CF2 units coming from the perfluorinated alkyl chain. Moreover, FTOHs and FOSEs showed a high tendency to generate adduct ions under negative-ion ESI and APPI conditions. The fragmentation study of these adduct ions has demonstrated a strong interaction with the attached moiety.
A general method for the synthesis of the title compounds 5, 6, 10, 14, 15 and 16 is reported. All of them were prepared in one step from readily available dimethyl N,N'-(arylene)bisdithiocarbamates 1 and red mercury(II) oxide. The superiority of these reagents over the corresponding diisothiocyanates 7 and the synthetic utility of tetramethyl N,N'-(arylene)bisdithiocarbonimidates 2 are also discussed. 相似文献
