Trace analysis of acids and bases by conductometric titration with multiparametric non-linear regression

A chemometric method for analysis of conductometric titration data was introduced to extend its applicability to lower concentrations and more complex acid-base systems. Auxiliary pH measurements were made during the titration to assist the calculation of the distribution of protonable species on base of known or guessed equilibrium constants. Conductivity values of each ionized or ionizable species possibly present in the sample were introduced in a general equation where the only unknown parameters were the total concentrations of (conjugated) bases and of strong electrolytes not involved in acid-base equilibria. All these concentrations were adjusted by a multiparametric nonlinear regression (NLR) method, based on the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm. This first conductometric titration method with NLR analysis (CT-NLR) was successfully applied to simulated conductometric titration data and to synthetic samples with multiple components at concentrations as low as those found in rainwater (∼10 μmol L⁻¹). It was possible to resolve and quantify mixtures containing a strong acid, formic acid, acetic acid, ammonium ion, bicarbonate and inert electrolyte with accuracy of 5% or better.     

Near infrared lights emission of ~(40)Ar~(16+) impacting on metal surfaces

The highly charged ion 40Ar16+ with the velocity (kinetic energy EK=150 keV, velocity V=8.5×105 m/s) smaller than Bohr velocity (VBohr=2.9×106 m/s) was found to hove impacts on the surfaces of metals Ni, Mo, Au and Al, and the Ar atomic infrared light lines and X-rays spectra were simultaneously measured. The experimental results show that the highly charged ion that captures electrons is neutralized, and the multiply-excited hollow atom forms. The hollow atom cascade decay radiates lights from infrared to ...

Multicomponent acid-base titration by principal component-artificial neural network calibration

In this study, a three-layered feed-forward artificial neural network (ANN) trained by back-propagation learning was used to model the complex non-linear relationship between the concentration of anthranilic acid (HA), nicotinic acid (HN), picolinic acid (HP) and sulfanilic acid (HS) in their quaternary mixtures and the pH of solutions at different volumes of the added titrant. The principal components of the pH matrix were used as the input of the network. The network architecture and parameters were optimized to give low prediction error. The optimized networks predicted the concentrations of acids in synthetic mixtures. The results showed that the ANN used can proceed the titration data with low percent relative error of prediction (i.e.<4%). A comparison between the ANN and PLS methods revealed the superiority of the results obtained by the former method.     

ZrO2酸碱性质的TPD表征 III.苯酚和CO2或NH3共吸附

用TPD－MS技术对ZrO2上PhOH和CO2或NH3双组分共吸附效应进行了研究．当有CO2或NH3预先吸附时，PhOH的吸附状态和脱附温度并不发生改变．PhOH一方面可以取代与表面酸－碱对中心有关的强吸附CO2或NH3物种而吸附，另一方面表面剩余的CO2或NH3吸附物种又能通过表面键诱导极化使一些“潜在的酸碱中心”得到活化，组成能够吸附PhOH的酸－碱对中心．后一种作用可导致PhOH吸附量增加一倍，表明ZrO2表面具有很高的可极化度．     

Voltammetric and titrimetric study of acid-base properties of some μ-oxo dimeric iron(III) complexes inDMF

Summary The acid-base properties of the -oxo bridged dimeric iron complexes [FeL]₂O with the ligands based on S-alkyl-1,4-bis(substituted salicylidene)isothiosemicarbazide and a tetramer with S-methyl-1,4-bis(salicylidene)isothiosemicarbazide, {[FeL]₂O}₂I₃·I₂, were investigated by cyclic voltammetry at glassy carbon electrode inDMF. Studies were carried out in the presence of either a weak (phenol) or a strong (HClO₄ aq.) acid. The stoichimoetry of the reaction, changes in the general voltammetric pattern and the electrode reaction mechanism were discussed. These studies served as the basis for three-electrode amperometric titrations to determine the content of several of these complexes.

Zusammenfassung Die Säure-Base-Eigenschaften einiger dimerer -oxo-Eisen(III)-Komplexe [FeL]₂O mit Liganden auf Basis von 1,4-bis(substituierten Salicyliden)S-(alkyl)isothiosemicarbaziden sowie eines tetrameren Komplexes mit 1,4-Bis(salicyliden)S-methylisothiosemicarbazid, {[FeL]₂O}₂I₃·I₂, wurden mittels zyklischer Voltammetrie an der Glaskohlenstoffelektrode inDMF-Lösungen untersucht. Die Messungen wurden in Gegenwart entweder einer schwachen (Phenol) oder einer starken (HClO₄ aq.) Säure ausgeführt. Die Stöchiometrie der Reaktion, die Änderungen der voltammetrischen Kurven und der Elektroden-Reaktionsmechanismus wurden diskutiert. Diese Untersuchungen stellten eine Basis für Drei-Elektroden amperometrische Titrationen dar, die für die Bestimmung des Gehalts einiger dieser Komplexe angewendet wurden.

     

Colloidal stability of dextran-modified latex particles toward adsorption of concanavalin A

The colloidal stability of the dextran-modified poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) latex particles toward adsorption of a carbohydrate-binding protein, concanavalin A (Con A), is primarily controlled by the charge neutralization mechanism. Formation of a crosslinked network structure via the specific affinity interactions between the dimeric Con A molecules and the dextran molecules anchored onto different latex particles may also have an impact on the coagulation kinetics. Judging from the data of coagulation kinetics, the colloidal stability of the latex particles toward added Con A in the decreasing order is: latex particles without dextran modification>latex particles with a dextran content of 2.15%>latex particles with a dex-tran content of 1.24% based on total polymer weight (PMMA+grafted dextran). The coagulation mechanisms involved in the adsorption of Con A onto the latex particles have been proposed to explain these experimental data. Charge neutralization of the negatively charged latex particles by adsorption of the positively charged Con A is the predominant destabilization mechanism. The ratio of the number of dextran active sites to that of Con A molecules plays an important role in the formation of the crosslinked network structure. The electrolytes in water cause a reduction in the electrostatic repulsion force among the interactive latex particles, but this ionic strength effect is not significant in comparison with charge neutralization.

L-苯丙氨酸衍生物与脂肪胺构筑双组分超分子凝胶

设计合成了系列单链L-苯丙氨酸衍生物,该系列衍生物单组分没有胶凝性能.选择脂肪胺作为配对物,与L-苯丙氨酸衍生物组成双组分体系后能够胶凝许多有机溶剂形成凝胶.流变学测试显示该凝胶体系弹性模量(G′)比粘性模量(G′′)约高一个数量级,有着很好的机械性能,并且呈现出典型的类固体的流变学行为.傅里叶变换红外(FT-IR)光谱、核磁共振(NMR)谱、小角X射线衍射(SAXS)和扫描电镜(SEM)结果表明,凝胶中胶凝剂分子形成纤维状或片层状的聚集体,羧基(―COOH)和氨基(―NH2)的酸碱作用、酰胺基团间(―CONH―)的氢键作用以及分子间范德华作用力是形成该凝胶的主要驱动力.凝胶中胶凝剂分子自组装形成具有周期性的层状有序结构,层状结构进一步组装形成纤维状聚集体,最终形成三维网状结构阻碍溶剂流动形成凝胶.
