Semiquantitative determination of thirty cations by circular thin-layer chromatography

Summary A comprehensive scheme for the semiquantitative determination of 30 metal ions (Ag⁺, Pb²⁺, W⁶⁺, Tl⁺, Fe³⁺, Au³⁺, Mo⁶⁺, Ga³⁺, Sb⁵⁺, Ge⁴⁺, Te⁴⁺, Pt⁴⁺, Pd²⁺, Ru³⁺, Rh³⁺, Cu²⁺, Co²⁺, Ni²⁺, Zn²⁺, Cd²⁺, Cr⁶⁺, Mn²⁺, U⁶⁺, V⁵⁺, Sn⁴⁺, Bi³⁺, Hg²⁺, Ti⁴⁺, Se⁴⁺ and As³⁺) is described. It is based on circular thin-layer chromatographic technique. The error is ± 5% and 16 other metal ions, not included in the analysis scheme because of the non-availability of spray reagents, do not interfere. The determination of each cation has been made with different spray reagents separately and the mean error has been calculated. The analysis of the same cation with different spray reagents provides a useful check on the results. The method holds an excellent promise for the study of airborne particulates and for the determination of trace elements from blood, tissue and bone.

Zusammenfassung Ein umfassender Analysengang für die halb quantitative Bestimmung von 30 Metallionen wurde beschrieben. Die Ringchromatographie auf Dünnschichten wurde hierzu verwendet. Der Fehler beträgt ±5%. 16 weitere Metallionen, die in Ermangelung geeigneter Sprühreagenzien in den Analysengang nicht aufgenommen wurden, stören nicht. Die Bestimmung jedes einzelnen Kations wurde mit verschiedenen Sprühmitteln vorgenommen; der mittlere Fehler wurde dann berechnet. So ist eine gute Überprüfung der Ergebnisse möglich. Das Verfahren dürfte sich für die Untersuchung der Luftverschmutzung sowie für die Bestimmung von Spurenelementen in Blut, Gewebe und Knochen eignen.

A potentiometric reductimetric method for the determination of platinum (Pt(IV)Pt(II)) with a standard Fe(II) solution in an alkaline medium of mannitol is described. The method, the error of which does not exceed 2%, can be used in the presence of palladium, iridium, and rhodium.     

Stereospecific synthesis of 1,2-cis glycosides by vinyl-mediated IAD

[reaction: see text] Stereospecific 1,2-cis glycosylation of 2-O-vinyl thioglycosides, synthesized from the corresponding alcohols by Ir-catalyzed transvinylation with vinyl acetate, is achieved by iodine-mediated tethering of a range of primary and secondary carbohydrate acceptors, followed by intramolecular aglycon delivery (IAD). The use of such an intramolecular glycosylation strategy furnishes the desired alpha-gluco and beta-manno disaccharides in an entirely stereoselective manner.     

Semiquantitative determination of thiourea,thiocyanate, and sulfide by circular thin layer chromatography

Summary A method for semiquantitative determination of thiourea, thiocyanate, and sulfide is described. It involves making circular spots or rings on chromatoplates using the circular thin layer Chromatographic apparatus. The method is based on sensitivity and specificity of spot reactions and comparison of the color intensity of a circular spot with that of sensitivity standards. The accuracy of the method is ± 5% and the procedure is rapid, simple and economical.

Purification and biochemical characterisation of acid phosphatase-I from seeds of Nelumbo nucifera

Acid phosphatase-I (Apase-I) from seeds of Nelumbo nucifera was purified to electrophoretic homogeneity by combination of ammonium sulfate precipitation, size-exclusion and ion exchange chromatography. SDS-PAGE of purified Apase-I gave a single band with molecular mass of 80 kDa under reducing and non-reducing conditions, indicating that the enzyme was a monomer. The purified enzyme showed maximum activity at 50°C and at pH 5. The Km, Vmax and Kcat for p-nitrophenyl phosphate were 132 μM, 10 μmol/min/mg and 6.7/sec respectively. Apase-I activity was strongly inhibited by Zn²⁺, W²⁺; weakly inhibited by Cu²⁺, Mo²⁺ and Cr⁶⁺ and moderately activated by Mg²⁺. The enzyme was shown to be thermolabile as it lost 50% of its activity at 50°C after incubation for 1 hour. The amino acid analysis of enzyme revealed high proportion of acidic amino acids, which is very similar to that of tomato Apase-I and lower than potato Apase.

Some Novel Results Involving Prototypical Computation of Zagreb Polynomials and Indices for SiO4 Embedded in a Chain of Silicates

A topological index as a graph parameter was obtained mathematically from the graph’s topological structure. These indices are useful for measuring the various chemical characteristics of chemical compounds in the chemical graph theory. The number of atoms that surround an atom in the molecular structure of a chemical compound determines its valency. A significant number of valency-based molecular invariants have been proposed, which connect various physicochemical aspects of chemical compounds, such as vapour pressure, stability, elastic energy, and numerous others. Molecules are linked with numerical values in a molecular network, and topological indices are a term for these values. In theoretical chemistry, topological indices are frequently used to simulate the physicochemical characteristics of chemical molecules. Zagreb indices are commonly employed by mathematicians to determine the strain energy, melting point, boiling temperature, distortion, and stability of a chemical compound. The purpose of this study is to look at valency-based molecular invariants for SiO4 embedded in a silicate chain under various conditions. To obtain the outcomes, the approach of atom–bond partitioning according to atom valences was applied by using the application of spectral graph theory, and we obtained different tables of atom—bond partitions of SiO4. We obtained exact values of valency-based molecular invariants, notably the first Zagreb, the second Zagreb, the hyper-Zagreb, the modified Zagreb, the enhanced Zagreb, and the redefined Zagreb (first, second, and third). We also provide a graphical depiction of the results that explains the reliance of topological indices on the specified polynomial structure parameters.
