Structure-property modelling of complex formation of strontium with organic ligands in water

The method of substructural molecular fragments based on representation of the molecular graph by ensembles of fragments and involving calculations of those contributions to the given property is applied to the modelling of stability constants of the complexes of strontium(II) with organic ligands in water. Reliability of predictions of developed structure-property models was examined using three different test sets of structurally diverse ligands. The obtained models have been used for generation and screening of combinatorial library of virtual ligands. Some hypothetical efficient Sr(II) binders were suggested.     

Thermochemistry of interactions of Na+ with benzo-15-crown-5 ether in acetonitrile-water mixtures at 298.15 K

Enthalpies of dissolution of benzo-15-crown-5 ether (B15C5) in mixtures of acetonitrile with water and in solutions of NaI and NaBPh₄ (I=0.05 mol dm^–3) in these mixtures were measured at 298.15 K. From the obtained results and appropriate literature data, the thermodynamic functions of B15C5/Na⁺ complex formation in acetonitrile-water mixtures were determined. The enthalpies of transfer of the complex B15C5/Na⁺ from pure acetonitrile to the examined mixtures were calculated and are discussed.     

Behavior of Humic Acid as a Micellar Phase in Micellar Electrokinetic Chromatography (MEKC)

The possibility of humic acids acting as micellar phase in micellar electrokinetic chromatography was evaluated. We investigated the separation of naphthalene in capillary electrophoresis using various samples of humic acids as micellar phase under different pH conditions, concentrations of humic acid, and temperature. The humic acid samples studied were from different origins including peat, vermicompost and a commercial sample acquired from Aldrich. Methanol was used as a marker for the electroosmotic flow. The results indicate that the formation of micelle depends on the number and nature of the hydrophobic association sites in an aqueous humic acid solution and on the origin and concentration of the humic acid at a defined pH. At lower pH values, the possibility of the humic acid molecule forming pseudomicelles increases due to a combination of neutralized and dissociated charged sites.

Reaction of the vicinal diols of steroids1, 5, 7, 10, 13, and16 with TPP/DEAD yields both regio-and stereospecifically the oxosteroids2, 6, 8, 11, 14, and15 by displacement of an axial hydrogen and extrusion ofTPPO besides the cholest-4-en-6-ols9 and12 and the cyclic carbonate3. 16, 17-androstandiol16 gives only the cyclic carbonate17. The different structures of the carbohydrates withcis-diol arrangement19 and21 lead exclusively to cyclic carbonates20 and22 in moderate yields. Treatment of1 with TPP/DEAD/HN₃ affords 3-azido-2-hydroxycholestane4 in addition to the above mentioned2.

     

Effect of ionic additives on the elution of sodium aryl sulfonates in supercritical fluid chromatography

Addition of a small amount of polar solvent (i.e., modifier) to CO2 in packed column supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) has shown major improvements in both polar analyte solubility and interaction of the polar analyte with the stationary phase. Recently, the addition of an ionic component (i.e., additive) to the primary modifier by one of us has been shown to extend even further the application of SFC to polar analytes. In this work, the effect of various ionic additives on the elution of ionic compounds, such as sodium 4-dodecylbenzene sulfonate and sodium 4-octylbenene sulfonate, has been studied. The additives were lithium acetate, ammonium acetate, tetramethylammonium acetate, tetrabutylammonium acetate, and ammonium chloride dissolved in methanol. Three stationary phases with different degrees of deactivation were considered: conventional cyanopropyl, deltabond cyanopropyl, and bare silica. The effect of additive concentration and additive functionality on analyte retention was investigated. Sodium 4-dodecylbenzene sulfonate was successfully eluted using all the additives with good peak shape under isocratic/isobaric/isothermal conditions. Different additives, however, yielded different retention times and in some cases different peak shapes.     

Synthesis of substituted pyrido[1,2-<Emphasis Type="Italic">a</Emphasis>]pyrimidines from 2-arylmethylidene-3-fluoroalkyl-3-oxopropionates

Cyclocondensation of 2-arylmethylidene-3-fluoroalkyl-oxopropionates with 2-amino-pyridine occurs at both the polyfluoroacylvinyl and alkoxycarbonylvinyl fragments to give alkyl 4-aryl-2-polyfluoroalkyl-4H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidine-3-carboxylates and 4-aryl-2-hydroxy-3-polyfluoroacyl-4H-pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidines, respectively. When treated with copper(II) acetate, the pyrido[1,2-a]pyrimidines yield metal complexes. Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Thermochemistry of aromatic ketones. Experimental enthalpies of formation and structural effects

The standard enthalpies of formation Δ_fH^o (liq. or cr.) at the temperature T = 298.15 K were measured using combustion calorimetry for benzophenone (A), 1-indanone (B), -tetralone (C), 9-fluorenone (D), anthrone (E) and dibenzosuberone (F). The standard enthalpies of vaporization Δ_vH^o or sublimation Δ_sH^o of A-F and 5,7-dihydro-6H-dibenzo[a,c]cyclohepten-6-one (G) were obtained from the temperature function of the vapor pressure measured in a flow system. Enthalpies of fusion Δ_mH of solid compounds were measured by DSC. From the enthalpies of formation of the gaseous compounds of A-G the values of their strain enthalpies were derived and structural effects discussed.

Phase separation of poly(γ-benzyl L-glutamate) to liquid crystal and isotropic solution in various helicogenic solvents

Solvent effects on the phase separation of poly(-benzyl L-glutamate) to liquid crystal and isotropic solution have been observed in various helicogenic solvents. The temperature-composition phase diagrams have been determined for each solution. The critical concentrations, ₂ ^* , at which the phase separation occours have been compared in various solvents. In dimethylformamide in which the polymer is molecularly dispersed, the observed ₂ ^* value has agreed with that calculated by Flory's theory. In some solvents in which the polymer aggregates in a head-to-tail mode such as chloroform, the observed ₂ ^* values have been considerably small. It is assumed that the polymer aggregates behave as longer particles than the original particles. In dioxane in which the polymer aggregates highly both in a head-to-tail and a side-by-side modes, the ₂ ^* value has been a little larger than that in chloroform. In this case the relationship between the aggregation and the liquid crystal formation is so complicated that further investigation is necessary. In aromatic solvents such asm-cresol that dissolves the polymer almost molecularly, the ₂ ^* is smaller than that in dimethylformamide. Therefore, the intermolecular interactions between the phenyl groups in the side groups of the polymer and those in solvent molecules must be considered.The author is grateful to Mr. K. Sano and Mr. M. Watanabe for their observation of the liquid crystal formation.     

Solid-solute phase equilibria in aqueous solution. VI. Solubilities,complex formation,and ion-interaction parameters for the system Na+−Mg2+−ClO 4 − −CO2−H2O at 25°C

The stoichiometric solubility constant of eitelite (NaMg _0.5 CO ₃ +2H⁺ ⇄ Na⁺+0.5Mg ²⁺ +CO ₂ (g)+H ₂ O, log^*K _pso ^I =14.67±0.03 was determined at I=3 m (mol kg⁻¹) (NaClO ₄ ) and 25°C. The stability of magnesium (hydrogen-)carbonato complexes in this ionic medium was explicitely taken into account. Consequently, trace activity coefficients of free ionic species, calculated from the Pitzer model with ion-interaction parameters from the literature, were sufficient for an evaluation of the thermodynamic solubility constants and Gibbs energies of formation for eitelite (−1039.88±0.60), magnesite (−1033.60±0.40), hydromagnesite (−1174.30±0.50), nesquehonite (−1724.67±0.40), and brucite (−835.90±0.80 kJ-mol ⁻¹ ). The increasing solubilities of nesquehonite and eitelite at higher sodium carbonate molalities were explained by invoking a magnesium dicarbonato complex (Mg²⁺+2CO ₃ ²⁻ ⇄ Mg(CO₃) ₂ ²⁻ , log β_z = 3.90 ± 0.08). A set of ion-interaction parameters was obtained from solubility and dissociation constants for carbonic acid in 1 to 3.5 m NaClO ₄ media which reproduce these constants to 0.02 units in log K. The following Pitzer parameters are consistent with the previously studied formation of magnesium (hydrogen-)carbonato complexes in 3m NaClO ₄ . The model and Gibbs functions of solid phases derived here reproduce original solubility data (−log [H⁺], [Mg ²⁺ ] _tot ) measured in perchlorate medium within experimental uncertainty.
