Enhanced Oxidation of Simvastatin at a Multi‐Walled Carbon Nanotubes‐Dihexadecyl Hydrogen Phosphate Composite Modified Glassy Carbon Electrode and the Application in Determining Simvastatin in Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms

A sensitive electrochemical method for the determination of simvastatin (SV) was established, based on the enhanced oxidation of SV at a multi‐walled carbon nanotubes‐dihexadecyl hydrogen phosphate composite modified glassy carbon electrode (MWNTs‐DHP/GCE). The voltammetric studies showed that MWNTs instead of DHP or GCE could effectively catalyze the oxidation of SV. The dependence of oxidation current on SV concentration was explored under optimal conditions, which exhibited a good linear relationship in the range of 1.0×10^?7–7.5×10^?6 M. The detection limit of SV was also examined and a low value of 5.0×10^?8 M was obtained for 5 min accumulation (σ=3). This electrode was applied to the detection of SV in drug forms and the results were in accordance with those obtained by UV spectroscopy.     

Catalytic Kinetic Spectrophotometric Method for Determination of Phosphate Ion

The kinetic method for the determination of phosphate microamounts was described. The developed method is based on catalytic effect of phosphate on sodium pyrogallol-5-sulphonate （PS） by dissolved oxygen. The reaction was followed spectrophotometrically by measuring the rate of change in the values of the absorbance of the oxidation product at 437 nm. The optimum reaction conditions are PS （0.44×10^-3 mol·L^-1） and HClO4 （3.6×10^-6 mol·L^-1） at 25 ℃. Following this procedure, phosphate can be determined with a linear calibration graph up to 0.23 μg·mL^-1. The interference effect of several species was also investigated and it was found that the most common cations and anions did not interfere with the determination. The developed procedure was successfully applied to the determination of phosphate in natural waters and soil.

Rapid transacylations of activated ester substrates bound to the primary side β-cyclodextrin-cyclen conjugate and its M2+ complexes

The ability of cyclodextrins to effect rapid transacylations of bound substrates has been well studied. One important difference between cyclodextrin and enzyme-mediated transacylation is the pH required. Because the pK _a of a cyclodextrin secondary-side hydroxyl group is about 12, transacylations are accelerated in the presence of cyclodextrin under basic conditions (pH > 10.5). In 1988, our group reported the synthesis of cyclodextrin with attached cyclen-Co(III) complexes; significant acceleration in the reaction withp-nitrophenyl acetate was observed only with the primary side derivative. Of course, metalloenzymes utilize M²⁺ and not M³⁺ catalytic centers; in addition, large rate accelerations in the transacylations of both activated and unactivated substrates have been observed previously in systems utilizing M²⁺ ions (e.g., Zn, Cu, Ni) as well as M³⁺ ions (e.g. Co, Ir, Cr). In this paper, we describe the ability of CD-cyclen-M²⁺ conjugates to transacylate activated esters, amides, and phosphates. In addition, the ability of the apoenzyme mimic to effect transacylations was examined.     

Ion association in calcium phosphate solutions at 37°C

Ion association in the system Ca(OH)₂–H₃PO₄–KCl–H₂O at 37°C has been studied potentiometrically over a range of pH from 3 to 9. The experimental conditions were optimized for the accurate determination of the association constants for the formation of the ion pairs CaH₂PO ₄ ⁺ , CaHPO₄ and CaPO ₄ ^– which were found to be 27.9±0.1, 591±2, and (1.35±0.02)×10⁶ L-mol^–1, respectively.     

Solubility of (UO2)3(PO4)2?4H2O in H+-Na+-OH?-H2PO?4-HPO2?4-PO3?4-H2O and Its Comparison to the Analogous PuO2 +2 System

The objectives of this study were to address uncertainties in the solubility product of (UO₂)₃(PO₄)₂⋅4H₂O(c) and in the phosphate complexes of U(VI), and more importantly to develop needed thermodynamic data for the Pu(VI)-phosphate system in order to ascertain the extent to which U(VI) and Pu(VI) behave in an analogous fashion. Thus studies were conducted on (UO₂)₃(PO₄)₂⋅4H₂O(c) and (PuO₂)₃(PO₄)₂⋅4H₂O(am) solubilities for long-equilibration periods (up to 870 days) in a wide range of pH values (2.5 to 10.5) at fixed phosphate concentrations of 0.001 and 0.01 M, and in a range of phosphate concentrations (0.0001–1.0 M) at fixed pH values of about 3.5. A combination of techniques (XRD, DTA/TG, XAS, and thermodynamic analyses) was used to characterize the reaction products. The U(VI)-phosphate data for the most part agree closely with thermodynamic data presented in Guillaumont et al.,⁽¹⁾ although we cannot verify the existence of several U(VI) hydrolyses and phosphate species and we find the reported value for formation constant of UO₂PO⁻₄ is in error by more than two orders of magnitude. A comprehensive thermodynamic model for (PuO₂)₃(PO₄)₂⋅4H₂O(am) solubility in the H⁺-Na⁺-OH⁻-Cl⁻-H₂PO⁻₄-HPO²⁻₄-PO³⁻₄-H₂O system, previously unavailable, is presented and the data shows that the U(VI)-phosphate system is an excellent analog for the Pu(VI)-phosphate system.     

Location of type B carbonate ion in type A-B carbonate apatite synthesized at high pressure

The structure of a complex, disordered type A-B carbonate apatite (CAp) of approximate composition Ca₁₀(PO₄)_6−y(CO₃)_x+(3/2)y(OH)_2−2x, x-0.7, y-0.6, synthesized at 3 GPa, 1400°C has been determined using single-crystal X-ray diffraction and FTIR spectroscopy at room temperature and pressure. Crystal data are: hexagonal, space group P6₃/m, Z=1; a=9.5143(3), c=6.8821(2) Å, V=539.5 Å³, and R=0.025. There are three structural locations for the carbonate ion. The channel carbonate is mainly in the closed vertical configuration of the structure, with two of its oxygen atoms close to the c-axis (A1 carbonate; IR bands at 1541 and 1449 cm⁻¹), but subordinate amounts are also located in an open vertical configuration (A2 carbonate; IR bands at 1563 and 1506 cm⁻¹). The type B carbonate ion is located close to the sloping faces of the PO₄ tetrahedron (IR bands at 1474 and 1406 cm⁻¹), confirming earlier inferences from polarized IR spectra.

Ammonium-chlor(thio)phosphat-Betaine,eine Klasse koordinationsstabilisierter Chlor(thio)metaphosphate

Ammonium Chloro(thio)phosphate Betaines, a Class of Coordination-stabilized Chloro(thio)metaphosphates Ammonium chloro(thio)phosphate betaines behave like systems being in equilibrium with tert. amine and monomeric chloro(thio)metaphosphate. In solution at room temperature the amine component can be displaced by stronger donors. Mass spectra reveal the presence of ClPS₂ as monomer and dimer, of ClPO₂ by fragment ions of the dimer, trimer, and tetramer before reorganization takes place to form PXCl₃ and P₄X₁₀ (X = O, S). Detection of ClPOS fails owing to fast equilibration into ClPO₂ and ClPS₂.     

Thermochemical Properties and Decomposition Kinetics of Ammonium Magnesium Phosphate Monohydrate

Ammonium magnesium phosphate monohydrate NH4MgPO4·H2O was prepared via solid state reaction at room temperature and characterized by XRD, FT-IR and SEM. Thermochemical study was performed by an isoperibol solution calorimeter, non-isothermal measurement was used in a multivariate non-linear regression analysis to determine the kinetic reaction parameters. The results show that the molar enthalpy of reaction above is （28.795 ± 0.182） kJ/mol （298.15 K）, and the standard molar enthalpy of formation of the title complex is （-2185.43 ± 13.80） kJ/mol （298.15 K）. Kinetics analysis shows that the second decomposition of NH4MgPO4·H2O acts as a double-step reaction： an nth-order reaction （Fn） with n=4.28, E1=147.35 kJ/mol, A1=3.63×10^13 s^-1 is followed by a second-order reaction （F2） with E2=212.71 kJ/mol, A2= 1.82 × 10^18 s^-1.
