分析化学发展中的几个问题

分析化学在迅速发展中出现了一些令人关注的问题。它们是：如何确定现代分析化学煌范围，如何给字以明确的定义；对分析化学煌前沿的预测；当今分析化学在化学中的地位；对分析介的批评意见的反思；分析化学应注意克有孤自身的弱点；如何培养高水平的分析化学专业人材等。本文就这些问题介绍国内外同行的一些看法发表本人的浅见。     

Analytical energy gradient evaluation in relativistic and nonrelativistic density functional calculations

The expressions of analytical energy gradients in density functional theory and their implementation in programs are reported. The evaluation of analytical energy gradients can be carried out in the fully 4-component relativistic, approximate relativistic, and nonrelativistic density functional calculations under local density approximation or general gradient approximation with or without frozen core approximation using different basis sets in our programs. The translational invariance condition and the fact that the one-center terms do not contribute to the energy gradients are utilized to improve the calculation accuracy and to reduce the computational effort. The calculated results of energy gradients and optimized geometry as well as atomization energies of some molecules by the analytical gradient method are in very good agreement with results obtained by the numerical derivative method.

Comparative studies on some analytical methods

This work present comparative results on powder milk storage quality, obtained from analytical methods. Protein content was determined conventional (Kjeldahl) and colorimetric with biuret reagent at 540 nm and integral quality by thermogravimetric and biological methods. A method was developed for the protein separation of powder milk. Powder milk was submitted to degradation processes at 45, 60 and 80°C for 20 days. The results indicated that protein content values were inconsistent if determinations by Kjeldahl and colorimetric methods and biological tests were compared. There is evidence of thermal decomposition of powder milk as detected by biological and thermogravimetric methods.The authors thanks CNP_q/PADCT for financial support.     

Synthesis and structures of 3-hydroxy-6-(R-phenylazo)-7,8-benzo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolines as products of analytical test reactions for nitrite and nitrate anions

An improved procedure was proposed for the synthesis of 3-hydroxy-7,8-benzo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline, which is used as a reagent for the analytical test reaction for nitrate and nitrite anions based on azo coupling with diazo compounds. 3-Hydroxy-6-(R-phenylazo)-7,8-benzo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolines (R = 2-COOH, 4-COOH, or 4-SO₃H) were synthesized by azo coupling reactions in 65–70% yields. The structures of these compounds were confirmed by elemental analysis, ¹H NMR and IR spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction. Based on the X-ray data, the bathochromic shift in the UV spectrum of the o-carboxy isomer compared to the p-carboxy isomer (Δλ_max = 50 nm) is attributed to a strong intramolecular hydrogen bond.

A new method for simultaneous estimation of micellization parameters from conductometric data

A simple method for determination of the counterion binding parameter (alpha) and aggregation number (N) from conductivity data is proposed. The method is based on fitting the values of the first derivative of conductivity (kappa) versus total surfactant concentration (c(t)) function according to the equation derived from the mass action model (MAM) by using different conductivity models. Sodium dodecylsulphate (SDS) and dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide (DTAB) were chosen for validation of the proposed method. It was shown that the method gives a fairly accurate values for micellisation parameters of SDS (N=51-64, alpha=0.74-0.75) and DTAB (N=56-62, alpha=0.77-0.79), both in good agreement with the literature data. In addition, application of the proposed method does not require the value of the critical micelle concentration (cmc).     

Nonparametric assessment of comparability of analytical results obtained in proficiency testing based on a metrological approach

A nonparametric sign test is implemented for assessment of comparability of proficiency testing (PT) results when their distribution differs from the normal or other known distribution. It allows testing the null hypothesis about insignificance of the bias of median of results obtained in PT from the traceable certified value of the reference material used in PT as test items, i.e., the hypothesis stating that comparability of the PT results is successful. Probability of type I error of rejecting the null hypothesis when it is true, and probability of type II error of it not rejecting when it is false (the alternative hypothesis about unsuccessful comparability is true) are considered. The test can be helpful for PT providers and laboratory accreditation bodies in analysis of PT results when the comparability criterion developed for a normal results distribution (Accred. Qual. Assur. 10:466–470) is not applicable.     

Hadamard Transform Time‐of‐Flight Mass Spectrometry: More Signal,More of the Time

Hadamard transform time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry (HT‐TOF MS) is a type of mass analysis that was developed to couple continuous ion sources to the inherently pulsed nature of time‐of‐flight measurements. Unlike conventional TOF MS, the Hadamard transform method offers a duty cycle of 50 %, with the possibility of extending it to 100 %. Because it is a multiplexing technique, the attainable signal‐to‐noise ratio (SNR) is also significantly higher than that of conventional TOF MS. This review covers the basic principles behind HT‐TOF MS. We illustrate, through examples, the source of the high‐duty cycle and the increase in SNR. These features translate to a mass spectral storage rate that is the fastest among similar instruments, which enables its use as a detector for high‐speed separations.
