Vibrational and electronic absorption spectra of 4-chloro 2-methyl, 4-chloro 3-methyl and 6-chloro 3-methyl phenols

The infrared spectra of 4-Cl 2-Me, 4-Cl 3-Me and 6-Cl 3-Me phenols have been recorded. The vibrational spectrum has been analysed assuming that the molecules belong toC _s point group and a tentative assignment of the observed frequencies to various modes of vibration has been proposed. The near ultraviolet absorption spectrum of these compounds has also been recorded. Assuming the transition to be electronically allowed the strongest band on the longer wavelength side has been assigned as the (0, 0) band in each case. The spectrum has been analysed in terms of several excited state frequencies which have been correlated with the ground state frequencies observed in the infrared spectrum.     

Non-extractive derivative spectrophotometric determination of cobalt in neutral micellar medium

A sensitive derivative spectrophotometric method using 1-nitroso-2-naphthol has been developed for determination of trace amounts of cobalt in the presence of a neutral surfactant. Photometric parameters, viz., lambda(max), molar absorption coefficient and analytical sensitivity of the complex formed in micellar media are 420 nm, 3.18x10(4) l mol(-1) cm(-1) and 2.05 ng ml(-1), respectively. Beer's law holds from 0.20 to 3.0 mug ml(-1) of the analyte concentration. The method has a high sensitivity with a detection limit of 1.68 ng ml(-1). A selective determination of cobalt in presence of copper(II) or iron(III) using derivative spectral profiles and without any masking or pre-separation is also reported. Samples of drugs and standard alloys analysed by the proposed method yielded results comparable to those obtained using recommended procedures.     

Competitive adsorption behavior of heavy metals on kaolinite

Polluted and contaminated soils can often contain more than one heavy metal species. It is possible that the behavior of a particular metal species in a soil system will be affected by the presence of other metals. In this study we have investigated the adsorption of Cd(II), Cu(II), Pb(II), and Zn(II) onto kaolinite in single- and multi-element systems as a function of pH and concentration, in a background solution of 0.01 M NaNO3. In adsorption edge experiments, the pH was varied from 3.5 to 10.0 with total metal concentration 133.3 microM in the single-element system and 33.3 microM each of Cd(II), Cu(II), Pb(II), and Zn(II) in the multi-element system. The value of pH50 (the pH at which 50% adsorption occurs) was found to follow the sequence Cu相似文献   

Synthesis of some new fluorine containing 3-dialkylaminomethyl indoles, 3-indolylglyoxamides and tryptamines

Several new 2-(fluoroaryl)-3-dialkylaminomethylindoles, 3-acetyl-2-(fluoroaryl)-indoles, 2-(fluoroaryl)-3-indolylglyoxamides and corresponding tryptamines have been prepared as possible psychopharmacological agents. 2-(Fluoroaryl)-indoles have been synthesized by theFischer indole synthesis. 2-(Fluoroaryl)-indoles on treatment with oxalyl chloride and subsequent reaction with amines, gave 2-(fluoroaryl)-3-indolylglyoxamides. Some of these indolylglyoxamides were reducted with lithium aluminium hydride, to the corresponding tryptamines. 2-(Fluoroaryl)-indoles when subjected toMannich reaction afforded 3-dialkylaminomethyl-2-(fluoroaryl)-indoles. All these new compounds have been characterized by IR spectral studies.Possible Psychopharmacological Agents, Part XII, Part XI, J. Indian. Chem. Soc.57, 423 (1980).     

Solvent extraction and separation of gallium, indium and thallium with N-benzylaniline

A simple and rapid method is proposed for the separation of tervalent gallium, indium and thallium by solvent extraction with N-benzylaniline in chloroform from different concentrations of hydrochloric acid. Thallium and gallium are extracted from 1M and 7.0-7.5M hydrochloric acid respectively. Indium is finally extracted from hydriodic acid. These metals in the final extracts are determined complexometrically. Interference from some cations can easily be eliminated by reduction with sulphite, followed by selective oxidation of thallium(I) to thallium(III) with saturated bromine water, and from others by the use of thioglycollic acid as a masking agent in the extraction of gallium and indium. Most common anions cause no interference. Log-log plots of distribution coefficients vs. concentration of amine for gallium, indium and thallium indicate a 2:1 limiting mole ratio of amine to these metals.     

Thiotropolone as a chromogenic reagent for the simultaneous determination of cobalt(II) and nickel(II)

Thiotropolone forms chloroform-soluble reddish-brown and violet complexes with cobalt(II) and nickel(II), in the pH range 7.0-8.5 and 6.0-9.0 respectively. Based on this, a sensitive and rapid method for the spectrophotometric determination of traces of cobalt and nickel in metals and alloys has been developed. The two metals can be determined accurately in the range 0.6-2.6 ppm of cobalt and 0.75-4.57 ppm of nickel, simultaneously.     

Beta galactosidase enzyme fragment complementation as a novel technology for high throughput screening

In this review, the applications of beta galactosidase complementation are described. alpha Complementation is a naturally occurring process in bacteria and in engineered cells, and can also occur in eukaryotic cells. Two forms of alpha complementation have been used in high throughput screening (HTS), in which interacting fragments complement with either low or high affinity. Low affinity complementation is used to monitor protein protein interactions, such as those occurring in homodimerization of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), and provides a robust screen for detection of EGFR inhibitors. High affinity complementation provides the basis for several HTS assays, in which analytes, such as cAMP or IP(3), are detected in crude cell lysates. A development of the latter approach is protein labeling, providing for measurement of cell protein expression and trafficking. Collectively, the use of beta galactosidase complementation provides a novel and flexible technology for highly sensitive, homogeneous HTS assay development.     

Microdetermination of silver(I) and iodide ions with a pyridinol azo dye: A spectrophotometric method

A simple, rapid, sensitive, and selective method for the spectrophotometric microdetermination of silver(I) using ammonium(2′,3′-dihydroxy pyridyl-4′-azo)benzene-4-arsonate (DHP-4A), a water soluble pyridinol azo dye is proposed. The red colored 1:1 (metal to ligand) complex formed has molar extinction coefficient (ε) 2.95 × 10⁴ 1 mol⁻¹ cm⁻¹ and absorbs maximum at 535 nm, in highly alkaline medium. Beer's law is obeyed up to 3.36 ppm and Sandell's sensitivity (for an absorbance 0.001) is 0.0037 μg of Ag(I)/cm². The silver(I)-(DHP-4A) complex has also been used in the microdetermination of iodide ions using ligand exchange reaction. The optimum concentration range of iodide ions which can reproducibly be determined is 1.27–37.9 μg/10 ml.
