NEW CARBON-PHOSPHORUS BOND CONTAINING COMPOUND IN THE REACTION OF 2-ACETYLTHIOPHENE WITH PHOSPHORUS PENTACHLORIDE

Abstract

The treatment of 2-acetylthiophene with phosphorus pentachloride led, besides other products reported in previous studies, to 2-(2-thienyl)-2-chloroethenephosphonic acid in 16% yield. This compound was transformed, in the course of purification attempts, into 2-(2-thienyl)-2-oxoethanephosphonic acid. Full spectroscopic data for both compounds are provided.     

Three coordination polymers of 5-aminoisophthalic acid with similar benzimidazole derivative ligands: synthesis,structure and DNA-binding studies

Three novel coordination polymers, [Co(NH₂-Aip)(H₂Bibim)] _n (1), [Co(NH₂-Aip)(HBibimop)] _n  √ nH₂O (2) and [Mn(NH₂-Aip) √ H₂O] _n  √ 2nH₂O (3) with NH₂-Aip and similar benzimidazole derivative ligands (NH₂-Aip = 5-aminoisophthalic acid, H₂Bibim = 2,2′-bibenzimidazole and HBibimop = 1,3-bis(benzimidazol-2-yl)-2-oxapropane), have been synthesised under hydrothermal conditions and structurally characterised by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, elemental analysis and IR spectroscopy. 5-Aminoisophthalic acid ligand adopts μ₂-, μ₃- and μ₄-bridge coordination fashion and benzimidazole derivatives exist as terminal- and bridge-mode in complexes 1–3. The intricate hydrogen bonds and π–π stacking interactions in supramolecular framework are discussed. Using the combination of ultraviolet–visible absorption titration and fluorescence spectra, the experimental results show that complexes 1 and 2 bind to DNA in an intercalative mode and their DNA-binding constants (K _b ) are also found.     

On‐line process monitoring of coffee roasting by resonant laser ionisation time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry: bridging the gap from industrial batch roasting to flavour formation inside an individual coffee bean

Resonance‐enhanced multiphoton ionisation time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry (REMPI‐TOFMS) enables the fast and sensitive on‐line monitoring of volatile organic compounds (VOC) formed during coffee roasting. On the one hand, REMPI‐TOFMS was applied to monitor roasting gases of an industrial roaster (1500 kg/h capacity), with the aim of determining the roast degree in real‐time from the transient chemical signature of VOCs. On the other hand, a previously developed μ‐probe sampling device was used to analyse roasting gases from individual coffee beans. The aim was to explore fundamental processes at the individual bean level and link these to phenomena at the batch level. The pioneering single‐bean experiments were conducted in two configurations: (1) VOCs formed inside a bean were sampled in situ, i.e. via a drilled μ‐hole, from the interior, using a μ‐probe (inside). (2) VOCs were sampled on‐line in close vicinity of a single coffee bean's surface (outside). The focus was on VOCs originating from hydrolysis and pyrolytic degradation of chlorogenic acids, like feruloyl quinic acid and caffeoyl quinic acid. The single bean experiments revealed interesting phenomena. First, differences in time–intensity profiles between inside versus outside (time shift of maximum) were observed and tentatively linked to the permeability of the bean's cell walls material. Second, sharp bursts of some VOCs were observed, while others did exhibit smooth release curves. It is believed that these reflect a direct observation of bean popping during roasting. Finally, discrimination between Coffea arabica and Coffea canephora was demonstrated based on high‐mass volatile markers, exclusively present in spectra of Coffea arabica.

Synthesis,spectroscopic and crystal structure analysis of 2-(4-fluorobenzyl)-6-(4-methoxyphenyl)imidazo[2,1-b][1,3,4]thiadiazole and its morpholinomethyl derivative

Elemental analysis, IR spectrum, ¹H NMR and X-ray crystal structure analyses were carried out to determine the compositions and molecular structures of the two compounds. The crystal packing exhibits intermolecular C–H?O, C–H?N, C–H?F and π–π stacking interactions leading to the formation of the supramolecular network.     

CO Adsorption on N2‐Precovered NaY Faujasite: A FTIR Analysis of the Resulting Adsorbed Species

To productively complete the information regarding the reversible adsorption of a gas mixture on the micropores of cationic zeolites, the adsorption of the two gases N₂ and CO on NaY faujasite is taken as a model case study. We analyze herein CO adsorption (77 K) on two distinct N₂‐precovered NaY sets (low and medium). We outline the continuous desorption of N₂ adducts during CO admittance to full N₂ desorption for the highest CO loadings. These features contrast with preceding results obtained for N₂ loading on CO‐precovered NaY. By comparing these results with the sole CO admission and combining both studies regarding the co‐adsorption sets, we demonstrate the influence of the basic strength of the two gases regarding the nature of the surface‐adsorbed species formed. We also propose and discuss a hypothesis regarding the formation of adsorbed mixed species having both N₂ and CO as ligands. These new findings strengthen the statistical response of IR signatures as a helpful proposal for analyzing adsorbed species and their assignments. This survey completes the molecular understanding of gas‐mixture adsorption that lacks experimental data to date.     

Electrochemical Detection of NADH,Cysteine, or Glutathione Using a Caffeic Acid Modified Glassy Carbon Electrode

A modified electrode was prepared using electrodeposition methods to immobilize caffeic acid (CAF) onto the surface of a glassy carbon electrode (GCE) to create a polymer suitable for biosensor development. The polymer film coverage of the surface bound species was further optimized using electrodeposition methods, thus increasing the surface coverage to ca. 10^?9 mol cm^?2. Using cyclic voltammetry, the modified carbon electrode was used to facilitate and observe the electrocatalytic oxidation of coenzymes such as NADH, cysteine, and glutathione at different concentrations. A calibration curve was determined in each case within the concentration range; 300 nM to 10 mM, with the limits of detection (LOD) of 246 µM, 99 µM, 2.2 µM for NADH, cysteine, and glutathione respectively.
