Effect of nature of support and impregnating agent on lipophilicity determination for nonionic surfactants by reversed-phase thin-layer chromatography

Summary The retention of 9 nonylphenyl ethylene oxide oligomers was determined in 15 reversed-phase chromatographic systems using silicone oils of various molecular mass as impregnating agents and silica, cellulose and alumina supports. The data were evaluated with principal component analysis carried out on the covariance and the correlation matrices. The R_M values did not follow the additivity rule and they did not change linearly with increasing length of the ethylene oxide chain. This is probably due to the folded state of the chain in the eluent. The molecular mass of the silicone oils had a negligible effect on the retention whereas the retention increased with increasing level of impregnation. The support considerably influenced the lipophilicity values of these nonionic surfactants and cellulose seemed to be the most appropriate support. Calculations proved that the application of a correlation matrix may cause data distortion; therefore, the use of a covariance matrix is strongly proposed.     

Concurrent adsorption and complex formation in reversed-phase liquid-liquid chromatography with tri-n-octylphosphine oxide

Summary Reversed-phase liquid-liquid chromatographic systems consisting of an aqueous mobile phase and an organic liquid stationary phase of the proton acceptor tri-n-octylphosphine oxide (TOPO) inn-decane, coated on LiChrosorb RP-8, have been studied. The solutes were hydrophilic aromatic carboxylic acids and phenol. The retention of the carboxylic acids shows a minimum at 10 mM of TOPO, whereas increasingly tailing peaks have been obtained with decreasing concentrations of TOPO. This behaviour is due to a concurrent complex formation by hydrogen bonding with TOPO in the liquid stationary phase and adsorption at the interface between the support and the liquid stationary phase. The adsorption of TOPO, ketones and aromatic acids from hexane on Li-Chrosorb RP-8 has been studied, and seems to be due to residual silanol groups. The adsorption isotherm of TOPO has been determined and can be described by a two-site Langmuir adsorption model. Non polar solutes are not adsorbed. The influence of TOPO on the retention and the peak symmetry of carboxylic acids in the liquid-liquid chromatographic system appears to be due to a competition between TOPO and the acids for the same adsorption sites. No competition was found for phenol.Presented at the 14th International Symposium on Chromatography London, September, 1982     

An in vitro Study on Transition from NO-Hemoglobin to Methemoglobin： Oxygen Effect

The nitrosyl-hemoglobin (HbNO) is the carrier of nitric oxide (NO) which is the important messenger molecule displaying multiple physiologic and pathophysiologic roles. However it is still not clear for the fate of HbNO molecules during the venous-arterial transit. In this letter, the HbNO transition in vitro was studied by using the electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectra. It was found that HbNO molecules were stable when oxygen did not exist in the system but not stable in aerobic conditions. The absorption spectra further revealed that the methemoglobin (metHb) was the product of HbNO in aerobic environment, showing that the HbNO changed to metHb when there were enough oxygen molecules in the system.

Palladium-complex-catalyzed regioselective Markovnikov addition reaction and dehydrogenative double phosphinylation to terminal alkynes with diphenylphosphine oxide

Palladium-1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane complex catalyzes regioselective Markovnikov addition of diphenylphosphine oxide to terminal alkynes in propionitrile, while the use of triarylphopshines, di(o-tolyl)phenylphosphine in particular, as the ligand leads to dehydrogenative double addition forming 1,2-diphenylphosphinyl-1-alkenes as major products.     

Solubilities of lanthanum oxide in fluoride melts: Part I. Solubility in M3AlF6 (M = Li, Na, K)

Solubility of lanthanum oxide was measured by thermal analysis. The solubility in alkali cryolites is rather high, because of chemical reactions between lanthanum oxide and cryolites. In Li₃AlF₆-La₂O₃, alumina precipitates, in the other systems the mixed oxide LaAlO₃ is formed. In La₂O₃-Li₃AlF₆ the eutectic point is at 9.5 mol% La₂O₃ and 755 °C. The eutectic points in La₂O₃-Na₃AlF₆ and La₂O₃-K₃AlF₆ are at 11.5 mol% La₂O₃, and at 937 and 934 °C, respectively.     

Nanocomposites Produced by Direct Intercalation of Secondary Doped Polyaniline in V2O5

The possibility of the production of nanocomposites based on V₂O₅ and conducting polymers by direct intercalation of macromolecules of secondary doped polyaniline into the interlayer galleries of nanoparticles of aqueous V₂O₅ sol was demonstrated for the first time. The driving force of the intercalation process is substitution of the protons present in the galleries of the V₂O₅ by a polyaniline chain carrying a positive charge.     

Some thermodynamic aspects of highT c superconductors

Thermochemical and thermodynamical properties of HTSC phases are reviewed for the Y-Ba-Cu-O system and also presented for the newly calculated Bi-Sr-Cu-O system stressing out stoichiometric and phenomenological viewpoints.

Crosslinked poly(ethylene oxide) modified with tetraalkylammonium salts as phase transfer catalyst

Radiation crosslinked poly(ethylene oxide)s (PEO) modified with two tetraalkylammonium salts: allyldimethyldodecylammonium bromide and ethylmethacrylate dimethyldodecylammonium bromide were prepared. They have been characterized by elemental analysis, IR, ¹H-NMR spectra, and DSC measurements. Their activity as phase transfer catalysts (PTC) in the model displacement reaction of 1-bromooctane with aqueous sodium cyanide were studied. The reaction kinetics were followed under pseudo-first-order conditions. Small amounts of onium salt inserted into the PEO network gave rise to a five time increase in the rate constant. The recovered catalysts could be re-used without loss of activity. © 1995 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
