Thermodynamic and spectroscopic properties of 2-pyrrolidinones. 2. Dielectric properties of 2-pyrrolidinone in binary mixtures

Dielectric permittivities of 2-pyrrolidinone - acetone, -dimethyl sulfoxide,-2-propanol, -dichloromethane and -water systems were measured as a function of mole fraction over the whole composition range at 30 and 50°C. The excess dielectric permittivities are predominantly negative for all the mixtures and the excess molar polarizations are negative except for 2-pyrrolidinone - water and 2-pyrrolidinone - dimethyl sulfoxide mixtures. The large negative excess quantities are indicative of the strong specific interactions between the like and unlike components of the solution mixtures.     

Structure–retardation factor relationship of natural amino acids in two different mobile phases of RP-TLC

Abstract

Separation of amino acids (AAs) and their simple and inexpensive determination/identification is an interesting topic in biological and protein science, different food industries, and drug factories. Also, the presentation of the chromatographic behavior of compounds in a predictive model can be effective to estimate the structural/chemical properties of analyte and mobile phases. In this work for the first time, retardation factor (R_F) of 42 AAs in reversed-phase thin layer chromatography (RP-TLC) was modeled. Acetonitrile-sodium azide solution and 1,2 dioxane-sodium azide solution were two mobile phases which have been studied in this work. Results showed that the values of R_F are correlated with the structural properties of AAs and these properties had some similarities and differences in two noted mobile phases. For the TLC data in two mobile phases, five parametric linear models were suggested (R²_train = 0.93 and 0.97; R²_test = 0.93 and 0.99). The models were also evaluated with different statistical approaches. It was shown that increasing the sum of geometrical distances between N and O in AAs causes decreasing their R_F in RP-TLC using both mobile phases. Other structural effects of AAs on their separation in the desired RP-TLC system were also discussed.     

Molecular interactions in 1-pentanol +2-methyl-2-butanol mixtures: Static dielectric constant,viscosity and refractive index investigations at 5, 25 and 45°C

Static dielectric constants, refractive indices and viscosities of 1-pentanol +2-methyl-2-butanol mixtures were measured at 5, 25 and 45°C. The results show that the mixing of the two isomers modifies the polarizability and the resistence of viscous flow of the system depending on the composition and temperature. Short range intermolecular interactions producing hetero-alcohol open dimers are considered.     

Thermal analysis and X-ray studies of chiral ferroelectric liquid crystalline materials and their binary mixtures

Summary Thermal properties of a homologous series of ferroelectric liquid crystals S-(-)-[4-(2-n-alkoxy-propionyloxy)]biphenyl-4'-[n-alkoxy-(3,5-dimethyl)]benzoate have been investigated by polarizing optical microscopy and differential scanning calorimetry. The mesophases were identified and confirmed by X-ray too. Three binary mixtures were prepared from the individual homologues. In one of the mixtures (Mix1), the ferroelectric SmC* phase has broadened and became enantiotropic. This mesophase remained monotropic in the other two mixtures (Mix2, Mix3). The chiral nematic N* phase did not appear in Mix1, but remained monotropic for the other two mixtures. Two molecular parameters, the layer spacing and the average intermolecular distance have been calculated from the X-ray results for the homologues and their mixtures. An intercalated tail-to-tail packing of molecules was found both in the single compounds and their mixtures resulting in the layer spacing about half of the molecular length of the single compounds.     

Accounting for the Adsorption of Anions When Interpreting the Mechanism of Electrodeposition of Metals from Complex Electrolytes: The Reaction Order by the Electrochemically Active Ion

The relationship between the current and the bulk concentration of complex ions during concurrent specific adsorption of an electrochemically active complex ion and a complexing ligand is considered. The effect of parameters that characterize adsorption of such ions and the structure of the electrical double layer on this relationship is analyzed.__________Translated from Elektrokhimiya, Vol. 41, No. 7, 2005, pp. 817–822.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Rogozhnikov.     

Distribution of Helium Isotopes in Western Pacific Upper Layer

3He/4He ratios in samples of sea water obtained at depths from surface to 300 m in the upper layer of the Western Pacific Ocean were measured by a mass spectrometer VG5400. The lateral and vertical distribution of He isotopes in the studied area was discussed in detail on the basis of 3He/4He ratios. Excess and depleted 3He. in relation to δ3He value of surface water in equilibrium with air has been discussed in the area, which may be mainly attributed to the incorporation of the North Pacific Intermediate Water with the Equatorial Upwelling and the exchange of water masses between the South China Sea and the Western Pacific, respectively. The present work in Western Pacific has also indicated that He isotopes may be used as a tracer for mixing processes of water masses and oceanic circulation.

Synthesis of inorganic-organic hybrids by incorporation of inorganic components into organic polymer using metal alkoxides

Inorganic-organic hybrids have been synthesized by incorporation of the inorganic component of Ti(OC₂H₅)₄ into the organic polymer of ethyl cellulose. The inorganic-organic hybrids did not dissolve in toluene used as a solvent for the starting materials. The ethanol was formed as a by-product of the alcoholysis condensation reaction between Ti(OC₂H₅)₄ and ethyl cellulose. These results suggest that ethoxy groups of Ti(OC₂H₅)₄ react with hydroxy groups of ethyl cellulose to form cross-linking bonds of –O–Ti–O–. The reaction of Ti(OC₂H₅)₄ with ethyl cellulose was further investigated by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. The FT-IR spectroscopic experiments revealed that the Ti–O bond state of Ti(OC₂H₅)₄ was changed by refluxing a toluene solution of Ti(OC₂H₅)₄ with ethyl cellulose. The inorganic-organic hybrids have an interesting dielectric property; their dielectric constant is higher than that of ethyl cellulose and that of a simple mixture of TiO₂ and ethyl cellulose.

Studies on the Phase Properties of Winsor Ⅰ-Ⅲ Type Microemulsions with Dielectric Relaxation Spectroscopy

The dielectric relaxation spectroscopy （DRS） of Winsor I -Ⅲ microemulsions for nonionic surfactant octyl polyglucoside CsG1.46/1-butanol/cyclohexanedwater system was studied. The experiment shows that the permittivity decreases with the increase in the frequency and clear dielectric relaxation phenomena were observed. Permittivity obviously decreases with the change of the microstructure of the microemulsion, W/O, B.C. and O/W can be distinguished by the permittivity.
