Capillary zone electrophoresis of cationic and anionic drugs in methanol

The actual mobilities and dissociation constants of acidic and basic pharmaceuticals were determined in methanol. Actual mobilities were derived from the dependence of the effective mobilities of the analytes on the pH of the methanolic background electrolyte solution (pH(MeOH)). The pKa values of the pharmaceuticals in methanol (pK(a,MeOH)) were calculated by non-linear curve fitting to the measured mobility values. It was found that the shift in pKa value (when compounds were transferred from water to methanol) increased with the acidity of the analyte. The average pKa shift for compounds exhibiting acidic properties in water was ca. 5.5 units, and the shift for basic compounds about 2 units. As was shown for a mixture of beta-blockers, the calculated actual mobilities and pKa values can be utilised in the optimisation of pH conditions for separation. The practical value of the method was illustrated by the analysis of urine samples.     

Force Constants and Bond Orders of Nitrogen Bonds

The force constants and the corresponding bond orders of nitrogen bonds have been calculated from the vibrational spectra (infrared and Raman spectra) of a great number of nitrogen compounds. Plotting the maximum bond order of stable nitrogen bonds against the sum of Pauling's electronegativities of the bonding partners (Σx) leads to one continuous curve for the N? X bonds where X represents elements of the first and the second short period of the periodic table. Furthermore, when the bonds formed between these elements are arranged in a coordinate system in such a way that the position of each bond is determined by the difference between the electronegativities of the bonding partners (Δx along the ordinate) and the sum of the electronegativities of the bonding partners (Σx along the abscissa), the bonding partners capable of forming multiple bonds all lie within a closed domain, where their position can be correlated with their polymerizability and other reactivities of the multiple bonds. Also discussed are the orders of bonds between nitrogen and some transition elements. In an appendix, the present methods used to calculate force constants and bond orders are surveyed.

Bestimmung der Oberfl?chenzusammensetzung von Calcit in Mg2+-haltigen Ca-45-markierten L?sungen

Zusammenfassung Über den Ca²⁺-Mg²⁺-Ionenaustausch wurde der Mg²⁺-Ionengehalt in Calcitoberflächen in Abhängigkeit von der Mg²⁺-Konzentration in Ca-45-markierten Lösungen bestimmt. Es wurde gefunden, daß der Anstieg des Molverhältnisses Mg/Ca in der Calcit-Oberfläche bei steigendem Mg²⁺-Gehalt in der Lösung jeweils bei Erreichen von Mg/Ca 1 und 3 deutlich verringert wird. Die ermittelte Austauschisotherme kann benutzt werden, um über eine Bestimmung des Mg/Ca-Verhältnisses in der Lösung auf dasjenige in der Oberfläche zu schließen.Vortrag anläßlich der Tagung Spurenanalyse, 2. bis 5.

A force field study of diacetylene molecule by kinetic constant method

The potential constants of diacetylene molecule has been evaluated using kinetic constants. The other molecular constants such as the generalised vibrational mean amplitudes, shrinkage constants, Coriolis coupling constants and centrifugal distortion constants are also calculated using the vibrational frequencies and the results discussed.     

Sorption of alkali metals and silver nitrates from binary and multicomponent solutions by a crown-containing polymer

The equilibrium in the systems containing a polymer based on dibenzo-18-crown-6 and binary or multicomponent aqueous solutions of NaNO₃, KNO₃, RbNO₃, and AgNO₃ was studied. The constants of the sorption of the individual electrolytes from solution into the polymer were determined. Preliminary calculations of the phase composition on sorption of 11 mixtures of electrolytes with a common anion from the data on the equilibria in the systems with one electrolyte are possible.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Fluorescence quenching of anthropogenic fulvic acids by Cu(II), Fe(III) and UO(2)(2+)

The quenching of the fluorescence of three anthropogenic fulvic acids (FA) provoked by Cu(II) (pH 6.0), Fe(III) (pH 4.0) and UO₂²⁺ (pH 3.5), was analyzed by a non-linear method and by Stern-Volmer plots. The FA samples were extracted from composted sewage sludges (csFA), composted municipal wastes (mwFA) and composted livestock wastes (lsFA). Synchronous-scan fluorescence (SyF) spectra were collected as a function of metal ion concentration. Spectral data were treated by a self-modeling mixture analysis method (SIMPLISMA) to detect the SyF spectral band with the strongest quenching and to calculate the corresponding quenching profile. The analysis of these profiles by a non-linear method allowed the estimation of conditional stability constants (K) and of the percentage of non-complexing fluorophores. The same quantitative information was obtained by the modified Stern-Volmer equation taking into account the existence of fluorophores that do not participate in the complexation. Good agreement was found between the results of the two procedures. The log K calculated by the non-linear method were (standard deviation in parenthesis): csFA, Cu(II), 4.22 (5); Fe(III), 5.0 (1); UO₂²⁺, 5.2 (2); mwFA, Cu(II), 4.21 (3); Fe(III), 5.6 (2); UO₂²⁺, 4.7 (3); lsFA, Cu(II), 4.51 (8); Fe(III), 5.5 (2); UO₂²⁺, 3.6 (2).     

Enthalpimetric and thermometric determination of some nitrogen containing bases and some physiologically active alkaloids

Summary The enthalpimetric determination of a series of bases by using the reaction of the bases and sodium tetraphenylboron is described. The accuracy of the method is analytically acceptable, over the range 3×10^–5 moles to 7.5×10^–4 moles. The upper limit is determined by the bulk of the precipitate.Dosage forms of some physiologically active alkaloids contain more than the upper limit of analyte. Yet, preliminary investigations using silicotungstic acid indicate that this is suitable for thermometric titrations.

Enthalpimetrische und thermometrische Bestimmung stickstoffhaltiger Basen und physiologisch aktiver Alkaloide

Zusammenfassung Die enthalpimetrische Bestimmung einiger N-haltiger Basen erfolgte aufgrund der Reaktion mit Natriumtetraphenyloborat. Die Genauigkeit ist im Bereich von 3 · 10^–5-7,5 · 10^–4 Mol befriedigend. Eine obere Grenze der Anwendbarkeit ergibt sich aus der Menge des anfallenden Niederschlags. Diese wird bei der Bestimmung von Formulierungen einiger physiologisch aktiver Alkaloide überschritten. Jedoch ist in diesem Fall eine thermometrische Titration mit Hilfe von Silicowolframsäure möglich.
