Electrochemical reduction of sodium metavanadate in an equimolar KCl-NaCl melt

Electrochemical reduction of sodium metavanadate in an equimolar KCl-NaCl melt and the effect of acid-base properties of environment on this process are studied by a voltammetry method on a stationary platinum electrode. It is established that the limiting current of the NaVO₃ electroreduction process has a kinetic nature. The process proceeds via an autoinhibition scheme and its rate is limited by an acid-base reaction conjugated with an irreversible charge transfer reaction. A substantial role of cationic composition of the melt is revealed experimentally. Following acidification of the KCl-NaCl-NaVO₃ melt by Mg²⁺ (from MgCl₂), the process passes from an irreversible kinetic regime into a reversible diffusion (quasi-diffusion) process. Values of stability constants for vanadates produced with the aid of acid-base titration of vanadium pentoxide by oxygen ions in experimental conditions are presented. These values are taken into account when calculating kinetic parameters of the NaVO₃ electroreduction.

Basicity and structure of 5-hydroxybenzimidazoles in nitromethane

Examination of the acid-base properties of 5-hydroxybenzimidazoles has shown them to exist in nitromethane as the 5-hydroxy-tautomers. Substituents in the 2-position have a predominantly inductive effect on the basicity of the 3-nitrogen, rationalized as in other nitrogen heterocycles by the proximity of the substituents to the reaction center.N.

The kinetics of reaction of 4-nitrophenylnitromethane with N’-Propyl-N,N-dipropylbenzimidamide in aprotic solvents. a steric effect on tunneling

Thermodynamic and kinetic parameters have been established for the reaction between the carbon acid, 4-nitrophenylnitromethane, (4-NPNM), and the base N’-n-propyl-N,N-di-n-propylbenzimidamide, (N’PDPBA), in mesitylene and in chlorobenzene. In some cases deuteron transfer from 4-(D₂)NPNM to the base has also been studied. In addition, some results for the proton transfer reaction in tetrahydrofuran have been collected. Spectrophotometric methods have been employed to monitor the ion-pair product, which is solvatochromic. In general the solvent dependence of the parameters is as expected, but there is some indication of specific solvation. The kinetic isotope effects of 11 and 8 in mesitylene and chlorobenzene, respectively, are larger than those predicted classically. However, as is discussed the n-propyl group on the secondary nitrogen of the base may serve to reduce the extent of tunneling compared to that in an unsubstituted analogue by a steric effect.     

Intrinsic Surface Reaction Constant in 1-pK Model of Mg-Fe Hydrotalcite-like Compounds

The relationship among intrinsic surface reaction constant (K) in 1-pK model, point of zero net charge (PZNC) and structural charge density (σst) for amphoteric solid with structural charges was established in order to investigate the effect of σst on pK. The theoretical analysis based on 1-pK model indicates that the independent PZNC of electrolyte concentration (c) exists for amphoteric solid with structural charges. A common intersection point (CIP) should appear on the acid-base titration curves at different c, and the pH at the CIP is pHPZNC. The pK can be expressed as pK=-pHPZNC log[(1 2αPZNC)/(1-2αPZNC)], where αPZNC≡σst/eNANs, in which e is the elementary charge, NA the Avogadro‘s constant and Ns the total density of surface sites. For solids without structural charges, pK=-pHPZNC. The pK values of hydrotalcite-like compounds (HTlc) with general formula of [Mg1-xFex(OH)2](Cl,OH)x were evaluated. With increasing x, the pK increases, which can be explained based on the affinity of metal cations for H^- or OH^- and the electrostatic interaction between charging surface and H^- or OH^-.     

Effect of 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane on IR spectra of HCl complexes withN,N-dimethylformamide and 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidone formed by a strong quasi-symmetric hydrogen bond

The effect of 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane (TCE) on the IR spectra of HCl complexes withN,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) and 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (N-MP) with strong quasisymmetric hydrogen bonds was studied using Multiple Attenuated Total Reflection (MATR) IR spectroscopy. The addition of TCE does not change the background absorption spectra, but results in a change in the extinction coefficients of some bands of these complexes. The analysis of the spectra shows that the HCl−DMF complexes interact only with one molecule of TCE, and the HCl−N-MP complexes interact with two molecules of TCE. It is shown that the neutral component of the system (TCE) has no effect on the parameters of the strong quasi-symmetric H-bond in the complexes studied. Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

GIF S-亚硝基化的一些见解

Neural growth inhibitory factor （GIF）, a member of metallothionein family （metallothionein-3, MT3）, was well known by its distinct neural growth inhibitory activity, which is not shown by other MT isoforms. However, till now, people still did not know clearly how GIF exerts its biological functions. Since it has been reported that GIF might serve as NO scavenger and was related to the release of zinc, our study was focused on the interaction of GIF and NO. By studying the reactions of human GIF and human MTlg with SNOC-a type of NO donor, it was found that GIF was more reactive than MT-lg toward SNOC. In order to further figure out if the high reactivity of GIF in this reaction resulted from the acid-base catalysis, several mutants were constructed： E23K, E41G/E43A, E23K/E41G/E43A. By studying their basic properties and the reactions toward SNOC, it was found that the S-nitrosylation of GIF was not only related to the acid-base catalysis, but also to the accessibility of metal-thiolate clusters.
