Micellar electrokinetic chromatography of tri aza aromatic ligand compounds of iron (II): influence of bile salt type on enantiomeric separation.

Micellar electrokinetic chromatography is used with a variety of bile salt micelles to separate the enantiomers of bis(8-((pyridine-2-methylene)amino)quinoline)iron(II) hexafluorophosphate, Fe(PMAQ)2(PF6)2; bis(8-((pyridine-2-methylene)amino)lepidine iron(II) hexafluorophosphate, Fe(PMAL)2(PF6)2; and bis(1-(2-pyridinyl)ethylidine)-8-aminoquinoline iron(II) hexafluorophosphate, Fe(PEAQ)2(PF6)2. The influence of ten different bile salts on the resolution of each pair of enantiomers is investigated. Significant changes in resolution are seen depending upon the bile salt used. The dihydroxy bile salts are superior to the trihydroxy bile salts in terms of resolution, and the taurine or glycine conjugated bile salts yield better results than the unconjugated bile salts. Resolution for most enantiomers is maximized in a buffer solution containing 10-15% acetone and employing either taurochenodeoxycholic or glycochenodeoxycholic acid as the bile salt. Evidence for the separation of the corresponding Fe(III) complexes is presented.

Dynamic Mode Decomposition for Swirling Jet Flow Undergoing Vortex Breakdown

Swirling jets undergoing vortex breakdown occur in many technical applications, e.g. vortex burners, turbines and jet engines. At the stage of vortex breakdown the flow is dominated by a conical shear layer and a large recirculation zone around the jet axis. We performed Large-Eddy Simulations (LES) of compressible swirling jet flows at Re=5000, Ma=0.6 in the high swirl number regime (S=1). A nozzle is included in our computational setup to account for more realistic inflow conditions. The obtained velocity fields are analyzed by means of temporal and spatial dynamic mode decomposition (DMD) to get further insight into the characteristic structures dominating the flow. We present eigenvalue spectra for the case under consideration and discuss the stability behaviour in time and space. (© 2012 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
