Multivariate resolution of NMR labile signals by means of hard- and soft-modelling methods

One of the difficulties frequently encountered when studying acid–base equilibria with NMR spectroscopy is the labile behaviour of the measured signal, which hinders the application of bilinear multivariate data analysis methods. In this work, a mathematical transformation is proposed for the conversion of NMR labile signals to inert signals, which make possible the application of multivariate data analysis methods, based on bilinear data models. The procedure has been applied to the analysis of NMR data corresponding to the acid–base equilibria of nucleotides dCMP and dGMP. Both hard-modelling (EQUISPEC) and soft-modelling (MCR-ALS) approaches have been applied for the analysis and resolution of transformed bilinear NMR data matrices.     

Phase Diagram of the System NaF-KF-AlF3

The phase diagrams of the binary system KF-AlF₃ as well as the ternary system NaF-KF-AlF₃ in the range up to 50 mol% AlF₃, were measured using the thermal analysis method. In the system KF-AlF₃ the coordinates of the eutectic points are: E ₁: 8.0 mol% AlF₃, 821.2°C, and E ₂: 45.5 mol% AlF₃, 565.0°C. In the investigated concentration range of the ternary system 2 eutectic points have been found with the calculated coordinates: E ₁: 36.3 mol% NaF, 62.7 mol% KF, 1.0 mol% AlF₃; t=711.2°C; and E ₂: 51.9 mol% NaF, 27.4 mol% KF, 20.7 mol% AlF₃; t=734.5°C. Other eutectic points lie most probably beyond the investigated part of the system. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Solubility of α-amino acids in water under high pressure: glycine, -alanine, -valine, -leucine, and -isoleucine

The solubility of glycine, -alanine, -valine, -leucine, and -isoleucine in water was measured at 298.15 K and pressures up to 400 MPa. The standard deviation of the logarithm of the solubility is 0.001–0.003, equal to or better than the accuracy of atmospheric pressure measurement in the literature (0.001–0.05). A variety of solubility phenomena were observed. The solubility of glycine decreased with increasing pressure, whereas that of -alanine increased. The -valine and -isoleucine have a solubility maximum at around 100 MPa, and -leucine seems to exhibit a solid-phase phase transition at around 200 MPa. Pressure coefficient of the solubilities at 0.10 MPa is compared with that thermodynamically estimated in reference to aqueous density measurements of glycine and -alanine at 298.15 K and 0.10 MPa, supporting a reliability of our high-pressure measurements.     

Hydrogen substitution effect on the solubility of perhalogenated compounds in ionic liquid [bmim][PF6]

Solubility behaviors of binary mixtures of CFCl₃ (R-11), CFCl₂-CF₂Cl (R-113), CHCl₃ (R-20), CDCl₃ (R-20-d), CHCl₂–CF₃ (R-123) with room-temperature ionic liquid [bmim][PF₆] (1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate) have been investigated using the volumetric and cloud-point methods, since all the systems show liquid–liquid equilibria (LLE). Large immiscibility (LLE) gaps of the perhalogenated compounds (R-11 and R-113) in the ionic liquid have been drastically reduced by the addition of only one hydrogen (or deuterium) in these compounds. The R-123 + [bmim][PF₆] binary system belongs to the Type-V fluid behavior. Noticeably large negative values (−2 to −8 cm³ mol⁻¹) of the excess molar volume in the ionic liquid-rich side solution have been observed for all the present systems. Experimental LLE data have been well correlated by the use of the NRTL (non-random two liquid) activity coefficient model.     

Crystal Structure of Ternary Molybdate Rb5FeHf(MoO4)6 — a New Phase in the Rb2MoO4-Fe2(MoO4)3-Hf(MoO4)2 System

Physicochemical analysis (XRPA, DTA) was used to study phase equilibria in a ternary salt system Rb₂MoO₄-Fe₂(MoO₄)₃-Hf(MoO₄)₂ in the subsolidus region. Ternary molybdates with compositions 5:1:3, 5:1:2, and 1:1:1 have been found and synthesized. Crystal and thermal characteristics have been determined. Single crystals of the ternary molybdate Rb₅FeHf(MoO₄)₆ with a composition of 5:1:2 were grown. The crystal structure of the compound was solved using X-ray diffractometry (CAD-4 automatic diffractometer, MoK _α radiation, 1766 F(hkl), R = 0.0298). Hexagonal crystals with unit cell dimensions: a = b = 10.124(1) Å, c =15.135(3) Å, V = 1343.4(4) ų, Z = 2, ρ_calc = 4.008 g/cm³, space group P6₃. The mixed three-dimensional framework of the structure is formed from two sorts of MoO₄ tetrahedra and Fe and Hf octahedra linked through their common O-vertices. Rubidium atoms of three varieties occupy the large voids of the framework.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2004 by B. G. Bazarov, R. F. Klevtsova, A. D. Tsyrendorzhieva, L. A. Glinaskaya, and Zh. G.

Theory of measurement of gas-adsorption equilibria by rotational oscillations

The gas adsorbed on the inner surface of a highly porous material like activated carbon or zeolite can be measured by slow damped oscillations of a torsional pendulum. The physical principles and the theory of this method are outlined. Formulas are given relating the increase in mass due to adsorption to changes of the frequency and the logarithmic decrement of slow, damped rotational oscillations of the pendulum. Preliminary measurements of gas adsorption equilibria of nitrogen on activated carbon show that the ratio of the mass adsorbedm, to the mass of the adsorbentm ^s , can be determined by this method with mean absolute error |m/m ^s |0.04%.Dedicated to the memory of Joseph Kestin (1913–1993).

Study of the absorption spectra and ionic equilibria of cationic-anionic polymethine dyes

The absorption spectra of a number of cationic-anionic polymethine dyes in polar, low-polarity, and nonpolar solvents were studied. It was established that in polar solvents the absorption spectra represent the sum of the absorption spectra of the cation and anion, whereas in nonpolar and low-polarity solvents, in many cases the appearance of a short-wave absorption band is observed, due to interaction of the chromophores of the cation and anion in ion pairs. In solvents of intermediate polarity (for example, in chloroform and ethyl acetate), a concentration dependence of the absorption spectra is observed, determined by the equilibria of ionic dissociation. The ionic dissociation constants of a number of cationic-anionic dyes in chloroform and ethyl acetate were determined by a conductometric method. The thermodynamic data obtained are compared with the spectral data.N. N. Semenov Institute of Chemical Physics, Russian Academy of Sciences, 117977 Moscow.

Solvent and substituent effects on the conformational equilibria and intramolecular hydrogen bonding of 4-substituted-2-hydroxybenzaldehydes

By applying the B3LYP/6-31G(d) method with the SCIPCM model on seven 4X substituted 2-hydroxybenzaldehydes, some structural characteristics related with their conformational equilibria and intramolecular hydrogen bonds have been clarified. The compounds are almost completely under the planar conformation characterized by a strong intramolecular hydrogen bond, which decreases in those solvents that possess a higher hydrogen bond donating capability and polarity. The substituents exert a marked influence on the conformational equilibrium constants and the strength of the IHB. Moreover, the excellent Hammett-type equations obtained support the proposed conformational reactions to quantify the IHB in the o-hydroxybenzaldehydes studied.
