Crystal Structures of [Ni(Phen)(i‐Bu2PS2)2] and [Ni(Phen)3](i‐Bu2PS2)2 Complexes and Interaction between Coordinated 1,10‐Phenanthroline Molecules

Single crystals of [Ni(Phen)(iBu₂PS₂)₂] (I) and [Ni(Phen)₃](iBu₂PS₂)₂ (III) compounds were grown, and their structures were determined by Xray diffraction analysis (CAD4 diffractometer, MoK radiation, 3336 F _hkl , R = 0.0373 for I and 2575 F _hkl for III). The crystals of complex I have a triclinic unit cell with the following parameters: a = 11.097(1) , b = 14.903(2) , c = 22.650(3); = 75.18(1)°, = 80.50(1)°, = 75.07(1)°, V = 3479.2(7)³, Z = 4, _calc = 1.255 g/cm³, and space group 1; the crystals of III have a monoclinic unit cell with the following parameters: a = 19.010(3), b = 15.481(1) , c = 17.940(3); = 97.58(1)°, V = 5233.5(12)³, Z = 4, _calc = 1.292 g/cm³, and space group C2/c. The structure of complex I is built from mononuclear molecules, and the structure of III, from [Ni(Phen)₃]²⁺ complex cations and i Bu₂PS₂ ^- outersphere anions. The NiN₂S₄ coordination polyhedra in the structure of I and NiN₆ in the structure of III are distorted octahedra. Based on structural data, the interaction between the coordinated Phen molecules of complexes I, [Ni(Phen)₂(iBu₂PS₂)](iBu₂PS₂) (II), and III is considered, as well as the packing modes of these complexes.     

Correlation between excess adsorption data measured for solvent mixture/adsorbent systems and RM values obtained for different solutes chromatographed in binary mobile phases

This paper concerns the application of excess adsorption isotherms, measured for solvent mixture/adsorbent systems, to the characterization of TLC data. For this purpose the excess adsorption isotherms for three liquid mixtures: cyclohexane/ benzene, benzene/acetone, and carbon tetrachloride/ethyl acetate on silica gel at 20°C have been measured. These mixtures have been used as binary mobile phases in TLC measurements. It has been shown for a given solute in binary mobile phase that the quantity R_M is a simple function of the excess adsorption. Parameters of this function have been used to characterize chromatographic systems with binary mobile phases.     

The effect of the structure of bonded cyanoalkyl stationary phases on their selectivity in the liquid chromatographic separation of polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons

Summary The paper discusses the effect of the length and structure of the hydrocarbon chain connecting the nitrile group to the silica gel surface on the chromatographic properties of cyanoalkyl phases.When using non-polar and polar mobile phases, the selectivity of the cyanodecyl phases toward PAHs is higher than of the cyanopropyl phase and of hydroxylated silica gel.Polar additives to the mobile phase drastically decrease the retention on silica gel and on the cyanopropyl phase while affect the properties of cyanodecyl phases only to a considerably less degree. Newly synthesized phases with different structures of the hydrocarbon chain are compared with the commerical cyano-and ODS-phases. The retention mechanism on the cyanoalkyl phases is discussed.     

Voltammetric determination of azithromycin at the carbon paste electrode

Azithromycin (AZ) is the first member of a class of macrolide azalides antibiotics called azolides. A simple and selective square-wave voltammetric (SWV) method has been developed for the determination of azithromycin in pure form, in pharmaceutical preparation and in biological samples. Determination of azithromycin was accomplished with hand-make carbon paste electrode (CPE) in oxidative screen mode. The counter and reference electrodes were a Pt wire and a Ag/AgCl, respectively. Various parameters that can influence the peak signal (effect of buffer, ionic strength, accumulation time, pH and the composition of the paste) have been scrutinized. The best results were obtained in acetonitrile—aqueous 1 M sodium acetate-acetic acid buffer (pH 4.6) containing 0.1 M KCl (1:9; v/v) using a 15% paraffin oil CPE. The limits of detection and quantification of the pure drug are 0.463 and 1.544 ppb (with the correlation coefficient, r=0.9785and the standard deviation, S.D.=0.1 (n=5), for the accumulation time of 60 s), respectively. The method was successfully applied to the determination of the drug in urine and two forms of pharmaceutical formulations. Recoveries were 99.2—100.5% with S.D.=0.1—and 0.8% (n=5).     

Spin-Spin Relaxation Process of 23Na-NMR in Na-Loaded NaY

Abstract

Spin-spin relaxation of ²³Na-NMR is observed by the spin echo method at room temperature for Y-type zeolite loaded with Na metal without hydration. For saturated and no levels of loading, the echo decay is well fitted by single exponential function. T ₂ decreases to be 0.25 times smaller by loading. This decrease of T ₂ is explained semiquantitatively with assuming nuclear dipole-dipole interaction between neighboring Na.

On the Motion of Substance in a Channel of a Network: Extended Model and New Classes of Probability Distributions

We discuss the motion of substance in a channel containing nodes of a network. Each node of the channel can exchange substance with: (i) neighboring nodes of the channel, (ii) network nodes which do not belong to the channel, and (iii) environment of the network. The new point in this study is that we assume possibility for exchange of substance among flows of substance between nodes of the channel and: (i) nodes that belong to the network but do not belong to the channel and (ii) environment of the network. This leads to an extension of the model of motion of substance and the extended model contains previous models as particular cases. We use a discrete-time model of motion of substance and consider a stationary regime of motion of substance in a channel containing a finite number of nodes. As results of the study, we obtain a class of probability distributions connected to the amount of substance in nodes of the channel. We prove that the obtained class of distributions contains all truncated discrete probability distributions of discrete random variable ω which can take values 0,1,⋯,N. Theory for the case of a channel containing infinite number of nodes is presented in Appendix A. The continuous version of the discussed discrete probability distributions is described in Appendix B. The discussed extended model and obtained results can be used for the study of phenomena that can be modeled by flows in networks: motion of resources, traffic flows, motion of migrants, etc.
