Modification of HPTLC-plates by in situ chemical bonding with non-polar and polar organosilanes

A method has been developed for the preparation of modified silica plates for high performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC). Some typical organosilanes were thus allowed to react in situ with the silica of Merck HPTLC-plates. This method was found to be highly reproducible, simple and cheap. Non-polar plates were prepared and compared with commercial plates from Merck, Whatman and Macherey-Nagel. Modification with cyanodecyltrichlorosilane resulted in plates that showed good coverage, efficiency and low residual silica activity. Silica modified with a multifunctional silane has different properties in different organic solvents. It will appear to be non-polar in a polar solvent and vice versa. New advantageous separation systems are thus made feasible by the presence of cyano groups on the plate. The utility of modified thin-layer plates is demonstrated by the separation of some homologues of p-hydroxybenzoic acid esters and of some polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.     

Zum chemischen Transport von Molybdän mit SbBr3 – Experimente und Modellrechnungen

On the Chemical Transport of Molybdenum using SbBr₃ – Experiments and Thermochemical Calculations Mo migrates in a temperature gradient from the region of higher temperature to the lower temperature using SbBr₃ as transport agent. For various mean transport temperatures (750 ? T ? 1000°C; T = 0,5 (T₁ + T₂); T₂ ? T₁ = 100°C) we observed small transport rates (? ? 0,6 mg/h) which rise up to 16 mg/h for higher transport agent concentrations. Small amounts of MoO₂ and Sb were detected beside Mo in the sink. The observed solid phases in the sink are in agreement with thermodynamical calculations by CVTrans which also demonstrate that the formation of MoO₂ and Sb as well as the transport effect of SbBr₃ are caused by traces of H₂O from the quartz glass wall. The sequence of deposition of Mo, MoO₂ and Sb in the examined temperature range can be calculated (CVTrans) and measured with the transport balance.

Coated-wire organic ion-selective electrodes in titrations based on ion-pair formation : Determination of arenediazonium salts with sodium tetraphenylborate

Titrimetric determinations of arenediazonium salts can be based on ion-pair formation between the diazonium cation and tetraphenylborate. Titrations are done under cooling with ice and are followed potentiometrically with organic ion-selective electrodes comprising PVC membranes plasticized with polar solvents and coated on aluminium wires. The method was tested in determinations of arenediazonium salts derived from 20 aromatic amines, including aniline, toluidines, naphthylamines and their derivatives. Except for compounds containing hydrophylic groups such as —COOH and —OH, the potentiometric titration curves have well defined end-points. The results are reproducible, with relative standard deviations in the range 0.4–1.4% at the millimolar level. The method can be used for reliable determinations of arenediazonium salts in analytical control of azo dyestuff production.     

Chemical ionization mass spectrometry of hydrofluorocarbons, hydrofluorocarbon ethers and perfluoroalkenes

Positive and negative chemical ionization (CI) mass spectrometry is studied for hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), hydrofluorocarbon ethers (HFEs), and perfluoroalkenes (PFCs) using various kinds of reagent gas. While no quasi-molecular ion was observed under electron impact ionization for saturated MFCs, [M-F]⁺ is detected under CI conditions using methane as a reagent gas. Mechanisms for the generation of [M-F]⁺ are discussed. Furthermore, nitrogen monoxide can be used as a reagent gas to observe [M + NO]⁺ for many HFCs and HFEs. In negative mode chloroform is also available to generate [M + Cl]⁻ for HFCs and HFEs containing -CHF- groups.

Unraveling the mystery of efficacy in Chinese medicine formula: New approaches and technologies for research on pharmacodynamic substances

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is the key to unlock treasures of Chinese civilization. TCM and its compound play a beneficial role in medical activities to cure diseases, especially in major public health events such as novel coronavirus epidemics across the globe. The chemical composition in Chinese medicine formula is complex and diverse, but their effective substances resemble “mystery boxes”. Revealing their active ingredients and their mechanisms of action has become focal point and difficulty of research for herbalists. Although the existing research methods are numerous and constantly updated iteratively, there is remain a lack of prospective reviews. Hence, this paper provides a comprehensive account of existing new approaches and technologies based on previous studies with an in vitro to in vivo perspective. In addition, the bottlenecks of studies on Chinese medicine formula effective substances are also revealed. Especially, we look ahead to new perspectives, technologies and applications for its future development. This work reviews based on new perspectives to open horizons for the future research. Consequently, herbal compounding pharmaceutical substances study should carry on the essence of TCM while pursuing innovations in the field.     

Low-temperature electrothermal vaporization of thenoyltrifluoroacetone complex of Sc(III) and Y(III) for sample introduction in an inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry,and their determination in biological samples

A new method for inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES) determination of trace Sc and Y, based on gaseous compound introduction into the plasma as their thenoyltrifluoroacetone (TTA) complexes by electrothermal vaporization was developed. Using the reagent TTA as chemical modifier can not only enhance the analytical signals, but also reduce the vaporization temperature. At a temperature of 1,000 °C the trace Sc and Y can be vaporized completely into ICP. The factors affecting the formation of the chelate and its vaporization behavior, such as drying time, vaporization temperature/time, reaction medium and the amount of TTA, were investigated in detail. Under the optimized conditions (drying temperature/time 100 °C/10 s, vaporization temperature/time 1,000 °C/4 s), the limits of detection for Sc and Y were 19 pg and 34 pg (3), respectively, and the relative standard deviations for Sc and Y were 4.2% (c _Sc=0.2 g mL^–1; n=7) and 2.6% (c _Y=0.5 g mL^–1; n=7). The linear ranges of the calibration graphs cover three orders of magnitude. The method was applied to the analysis of the biological reference materials (GBW 07602, bush branches and leaves; GBW 07604, poplar leaves), and the results obtained were in good agreement with the certified values.     

Isobaric vapor–liquid equilibria for the quaternary reactive system: Ethanol + water + ethyl lactate + lactic acid at 101.33 kPa

Isobaric vapor–liquid equilibrium (VLE) data of the reactive quaternary system ethanol (1) + water (2) + ethyl lactate (3) + lactic acid (4) have been determined experimentally. Additionally, the reaction equilibrium constant was calculated for each VLE experimental data. The experimental VLE data were correlated using the UNIQUAC equation to describe the chemical and phase equilibria simultaneously. For some of the non-reactive binary systems, UNIQUAC binary interaction parameters were obtained from the literature. The rest of the binary UNIQUAC parameters were obtained by correlating the experimental quaternary VLE data obtained in this work. A maximum pressure azeotrope at high water concentration for the binary reactive system ethyl lactate + water has been calculated.
