Thermodynamics of the dissociation of 2-aminopyridinium ion in synthetic seawater and a standard for pH in marine systems

Buffer solutions composed of 2-aminopyridinium chloride and 2-aminopyridine in synthetic seawater are useful as a supplement to buffers of Tris (pH 8.2) and Bis (pH 8.8) in standardizing measurements of hydrogen ion concentration (pm _H or pH(SWS)) in oceanography. The dissociation constant of 2-amino-pyridinium ion over the range of salinities (S) from 30 to 40 has now been determined from the emf of cells without liquid junction at eight temperatures (T) from 278.15 to 313.15 K. The results fit the equation pK=2498.31/T–15.3274+2.4050 lnT+S(0.012928–2.9417×10^–5T) with a standard deviation of 0.0023. Thermodynamic constants for the dissociation process and standard reference values of pm _H and pH(SWS) were derived from the data. The pm _H of the buffer consisting of 2-aminopyridinium chloride and 2-aminopyridine (each 0.04 molal) in synthetic seawater of salinity 35 varies from 7.356 at 278.15 K to 6.601 at 313.15 K.     

New Aspects of Cyclodextrin Chemistry Induced by Outside Type Complex Formation; Asymmetric Reduction of Indol-3-Pyruvic Acid with NaBH4 in Aqueous Solution

Asymmetric reduction of indol-3-pyruvic acid (IPA) with NaBH₄ in aqueous solution in the presence of various cyclodextrins (α-, β-, γ-, mono-6-amino-6-deoxy-β- and di-6^ABamino-6^AB-deoxy-β-cyclodextrin) was investigated. From the NMR and circular dichroism spectral studies, the conformation of the CyD–substrate complexes is suggested; the part of carboxylic group stay in the cavity of α-CyD, whole of IPA in β-CyD, two molecules in a γ-CyD cavity, and IPA(s) is/are on the rim of the cavity of mono-6-amino-6-deoxy-β- and di-6^ABamino-6^AB-deoxy-β-CyD (AβCyD, DAβCyD) with electrostatic interaction between amino group and carboxylic group. This conformational difference provides in the difference in the optical selectivity of reduction.     

Hydrogen-bonded assembly and binding affinity of the multi-point acceptor and isophthalic acid

Supermolecular complexes formed by oligophenyleneethynylene derivatives and isophthalic acid were studied using AM1 method to obtain binding energy. Electronic spectra and IR spectra of the complexes were calculated by INDO/CIS and AM1 methods based on AM1 geometries. Results indicated that the dimer could be formed by the monomers via hydrogen bonding because of the negative binding energy. Binding energy of the complexes was affected by electronegativity and steric effects of the substituents. The first UV absorptions and IR frequencies of N-H bonds of the complexes were both red-shifted compared with those of the monomers. The complexes could bind small molecules via hydrogen bonds, resulting in the change in UV absorptions and an increase in IR frequencies of N-H bonds.

Formation of Negative Hydrogen Ions in a Ne–H2 Hollow Cathode Discharge

The formation of negative hydrogen ions in a conventional hollow cathode discharge has been investigated. A mixture of Ne and H₂ proved to be more advantageous compared to pure hydrogen. The study has been performed by solving the electron Boltzmann equation, coupled with a system of balance equations for neon and hydrogen neutral and charged particles. The vibrational distribution function of hydrogen has been calculated. Our calculations show unusually high population of vibrationally excited hydrogen molecules in a Ne–H₂ mixture, which explains the high density of negative hydrogen ions under optimal conditions (total gas pressure of few Torr, hydrogen number mole fraction of 1–10% and discharge current of 10–100 mA). Line intensities originating from highly excited neon states vs. hydrogen pressure have been calculated and a comparison with existing experimental results has been made.     

Specific and non-specific interactions of hydropseudohalic acids with water and organic solvents

Partition coefficients P of the HNCS, HNCO and HN₃ hydropseudohalic acids between a number of organic solvents and water were determined. It has been found that log P increases with pKa of the acid and with the basicity of the solvent, but the effect of pKa on P is the smaller the more basic is the solvent. The relationships have been explained in terms of hydrogen bond formation between undissociated acid and solvent molecules. H-bonding between the pseudohalic acids and organic solvents has been confirmed by IR spectra on the example of HN₃ in benzene. Association constants for H-bonding between the three acids and water, benzene, dibutyl ether and tri-n-butyl phosphate were determined from partition data. It has been found that H-bonding increases with the strength of the acid, whereas the contribution to partition from non-specific interactions with water and organic solvents depends on the molecular surface area of the acid molecule.

Influence of the texture of chromia catalysts on their activity in synthesis of 2-methylthiophene

The texture of Cr₂O₃-K₂O/Al₂O₃catalysts containing oxides of rare earth elements (REE) was studied. The catalysts are used for the synthesis of 2-methylthiophene by the reaction of H₂S with n-pentane or piperilene. The heterocyclization of n-pentane is a consecutive reaction involving a step of dehydrogenation of initial hydrocarbon. At this step the texture of the catalyst affects the yield of 2-methylthiophene. The yield of 2-methylthiophene obtained from piperilene and I₂S is independent of the catalyst texture.     

N(nPr)4[B5O6(OH)4][B(OH)3]2 and N(nBu)4[B5O6(OH)4][B(OH)3]2: Clathrates with a diamondoid arrangement of hydrogen-bonded pentaborate anions

Single-crystal X-ray structure analyses of N(nPr)₄[B₅O₆(OH)₄][B(OH)₃]₂,1, and N(nBu)₄ [B₅O₆(OH)₄][B(OH)₃]₂,2, reveal that these materials are novel clathrates, the isotypic host structures of which are three-dimensional assemblies of hydrogen-bonded [B₅O₆(OH)₄]^– ionsand B(OH)₃ molecules. The assembly of only the pentaborate anions is a distorted (i.e., along [102] elongated) fourconnected diamond-related network. The N(nPr) ₄ ⁺ and N(nBu) ₄ ⁺ ions are trapped within the complex three-dimensional channel systems of the host frameworks. Both1 and2 crystallize monoclinically with space groupP2₁/c andZ=4. The cell constants are:1:a=13.592(5),b=12.082(2),c=17.355(6) Å, =106.60(2)° (298K);2:a=13.874(3),b=12.585(1),c=17.588(4) Å, =107.04(1)° (238 K). The results obtained by both¹¹B and¹³C MAS NMR spectroscopy are discussed. Thermogravimetric studies under a flowing inert-gas atmosphere suggest that water, stemming from polycondensation of the hydrous borate species, is released from the clathrates at ca. 443 K (1) and 398 K (2) before the decomposition of the organic cations starts at ca. 603 K (1) and 603 K (2).Author for correspondence.
