Direct and simultaneous spectrofluorometric determination of naproxen and salicylate in human serum assisted by chemometric analysis

A direct method for the simultaneous determination of naproxen and salicylate in human serum is reported, based on a combination of spectrofluorometric measurements with two multivariate calibration techniques: partial least-squares (PLS-1) and the novel net analyte preprocessing (NAP). The method is rapid, selective and sensitive, and is based on the measurement of the fluorescence spectra of NH₃ alkalinized whole human sera at the excitation wavelength of 315 nm. It can be applied within the ranges of concentrations 50-200 ng ml⁻¹ for naproxen and 100-300 ng ml⁻¹ for salicylate. The employed chemometric techniques have been compared on the basis of the statistical indicators for calibration and validation. Reproducibility and interference studies in abnormal sera have also been carried out.     

Information content of data and variables and types of weighting in least-squares regression methods

Algorithms are given for evaluating the relative amount of useful information related to a particular parameter which is carried by individual data points and intervals of the variables. The algorithms provide an efficient means of using the information contained in a set of data. Applications to the optimization of weighting in regression methods are described. Several informational and combined informational-statistical types of weighting are studied as a means of improving the accuracy and precision of the parameters obtained by non-linear regression.     

Advances in two-dimensional GC with glass capillary columns

A versatile two-dimensional gas chromatograph is described, consisting of 2 separate ovens, one intermediate trap, an auxiliary inlet, and the necessary hardware to effect off-line switching according to the principle of Deans. The unit has been designed for use with high resolution glass capillary columns. The performance of individual instrumental components was critically evaluated. Results showed that low dead volume glass to metal connections were required in the manifold and detector lines to minimize extra-column effects. The mass of the intermediate trap must be low to allow rapid heating. Operational parameters are discussed and examples of some applications are shown.     

Studies on the Complexes of N,N′-Bis[o-(diphenylphosphino)benzylidene]ethylenediamine with Transition Metal Ions

The thermodynamic parameters for the interaction of Cu²⁺, Ni²⁺, Co²⁺, Cd²⁺, andAg⁺ with the new title ligand have been determined by titration calorimetry in 50% THF–methanol (V/V) at 25 °C.Ag⁺ exhibited remarkably higher complexation selectivity.Ag⁺ and several transition metal ions have been transportedusing this ligand as carrier in a bulk liquid membrane. CompetitiveAg⁺–M²⁺ transport studies have also beencarried out for the same system. In this membrane transport study, high transport of Ag⁺ was observed in both single and competitiveAg⁺–M²⁺ transport studies. The complexformation of N,N-bis[o-(diphenylphosphino)benzylidene]ethylenediamine (P₂N₂) with silver,[Ag(P₂N₂)] (NO₃), (1) is reported.

Adsorption parameters of cyclobutane carboxylic acid at the interface of a mercury electrode with aqueous solutions of 0.4 M Na2SO4 + 0.1 M H2SO4

Based on the results of the regression analysis of differential capacitance curves of a mercury electrode in solutions of cyclobutane carboxylic acid (CBCA) at 25, 50, and 75°C, the adsorption parameters that enter into both the Frumkin isotherm and the model of two parallel capacitors are estimated. The free energies of adsorption found from the analysis of the temperature dependence of these parameters are incorrect due to the partial blowing out of CBCA during the deaeration of the solutions. The corresponding adsorption parameters are corrected under the assumption that the hydrophobic effect associated with the increase in the liquid-water entropy at the removal from it of CBCA molecules is the same as for n-valeric acid. The physical meaning of the squeezing-out effect is revised.

Analysis of First-Order Reactions with Distributed Parameters

Simple methods of analysis of first-order kinetic processes controlled by distributions of parameters (activation energies and/or frequency factors) are presented. Both the isothermal and nonisothermal regimes are considered. The procedures make use of numerically calculated time derivatives of the concentrations of decaying species (reactants in the case of chemical reactions). They do not require any adjustable initial or boundary values of parameters (like concentration at the infinite time) being thus more accurate and reliable than earlier methods in which kinetic parameters were determined from the concentration, and not from its time derivative. The methods were successfully employed in analysis of the thermally driven cis–trans isomerization of a photochromic crown ether containing the azobenzene moiety incorporated in the crown.
