Thermodynamic metal-ligand stability constants of rare earths with N-p-chlorophenyl-m-substituted benzohydroxamic acids

The thermodynamic metal ligand stability constants of rare earths, La³⁺, Pr³⁺, Nd³⁺, Sm³⁺, Bu³⁺, Gd³⁺ and Tb³⁺, with N-p-chlorophenyl-m-substituted benzohydroxamic acids in dioxan-water (60–70%) media at 25° C, have been determined by the potentiometric method. The effect of basicity of the ligand, central metal ion and the order of stability constants are discussed. The order of stability constants of rare earths with the hydroxamic acids is La<Pr<Nd<Sm<Eu<Gd>Tb.     

Stop times in fock space stochastic calculus

Summary A stop time S in the boson Fock space over L ₂()₊ is a spectral measure in [0,] such that {S([0,t])} is an adapted process. Following the ideas of Hudson [6], to each stop time S a canonical shift operator U ^Sis constructed in . When S({}) has the vacuum as a null vector U ^Sbecomes an isometry. When S({})=0 it is shown that admits a factorisation _S]{S where _{S is the range of U ^Sand _S] is a suitable subspace of called the Fock space upto time S. This, in particular, implies the strong Markov property of quantum Brownian motion in the boson as well as fermion sense and the Dynkin-Hunt property that the classical Brownian motion begins afresh at each stop time. The stopped Weyl and fermion processes are defined and their properties studied. A composition operation is introduced in the space of stop time to make it a semigroup. Stop time integrals are introduced and their properties constitute the basic tools for the subject.     

The new ether derivative of phenylpropanoid and bioactivity was investigated from the leaves of Piper betle L.

Abstract

A new ether derivative of phenylpropanoid compound, γ-(γ′-isohydroxychavicol)-chavicol octanyl ether (K1) along with one known phenylpropanoid named allyl-pyrocatechol or hydroxychavicol (2) were isolated from Piper betle var. kali collected from Tumluk district, West Bengal India. We first report the presence of compound K1 in the genus Piper. Their structures were established on the basis of various spectroscopic analyses. Compounds K1 and 2 showed excellent antioxidant DPPH free radical scavenging activity with IC₅₀ values of 4.61 and 4.12?µg/mL compared to ascorbic acid as a standard antioxidant drug with IC₅₀ value of 3.42?µg/mL, respectively. Evaluation of in vitro cytotoxic activities of compounds K1 and 2 showed significant effects against human oral cancer cell lines (AW13516 and AW8507), human hepatoma cell lines (HEPG2 and PLC-PRF-5) and a human pancreatic cell line (MIA-PA-CA-2), compared to Doxorubicin^® as a standard cytotoxic drug with GI₅₀ values of <10 and 18.18?µg/mL.     

Two-step photoionization of Na2: dependence on alignment

Laser light is used for two-step photoionization of Na₂. the first step depends on the moleculer orientation, the second step doesnot. This yields a method for the analysis of molecular alignment.     

Semiclassical statistical mechanics of two-dimensional hard-body fluids

The problem of calculating the thermodynamic properties of two-dimensional semiclassical hard-body fluids is studied. Explicit expressions are given for the first-order quantum corrections to the free energy, equation of state, and virial coefficients. The numerical results are calculated for the planar hard dumbbell fluid. Significant features are the increase in quantum corrections with increasing eta and increasing L*=L/sigma(0).     

Group 6 tetracarbonyl complexes of N-[(2-pyridyl)methyliden]-α (or β)-aminonaphthalene: Spectral characterization,electrochemistry, solvatochromism and photophysical studies

A new series of group 6 carbonyl complexes of N-[(2-pyridyl)methyliden]-α (or β)-aminonaphthalene (α/β-NaiPy) are described in this work. The complexes are formulated as cis-[M(CO)₄(α/β-NaiPy)] by elemental, mass and other spectroscopic data. The complexes show emission spectra at room temperature and their quantum yield lies between 0.4 and 0.5. All the complexes exhibit negative solvatochromism. Cyclic voltammetry shows metal centred oxidation and ligand reductions.     

Selective Spectrophotometric Determination of Copper in Milk with Phenanthraquinone Monothiosemicarbazone

The red complex formed by copper (II) and phenanthraquinone monothiosemicarbazone has an absorption maximum at 530 nm with a molar absorptivity of 14000 cm^?1 mole^?1. The pH range for the determination is 1.1–6.6. Optimum range of concentration for accurate determination is 0.50–3.47 ppm of copper (II) in 50% methanol medium. The limits of interference due to foreign ions have been studied. The method has been successfully employed for the determination of copper in various samples of milk.
