Mononuclear rearrangement of heterocycles in zwitterionic micelles of amine oxide surfactants.
2012
Abstract Rate constants for the mononuclear rearrangement (MRH) of Z -phenylhydrazones of some 5-substituted-3-benzoyl-1,2,4-oxadiazoles in water have been measured in the presence of zwitterionic micelles. The use of micellized N -tetradecyl- N , N -dimethylamineoxide (C 14 DMAO) as the reaction medium allowed to solubilize the otherwise water-insoluble oxadiazoles. Micellar rate effects were analyzed by using a simple pseudo-phase model and compared with those obtained in non-ionic micelles (Triton X-100). Evidence that both the rate of the rearrangement reaction and the binding of the substrates to the micelles are mainly governed by substrate hydrophobicity is obtained. The disagreement…
Rate Effects of AOT-Stabilized Microemulsions on Reactions of Ligand Substitution in Cationic Palladium(II) Complexes
1998
Rate data for the substitution reactions of the coordinated ligand X (=2,2‘-bipyridine or 4,4‘-dimethyl-2,2‘-bipyridine) of the palladium(II) complex [Pd(en)X]2+, where en = ethylenediamine, by en or N,N-dimethylethylenediamine in heptane−AOT−water microemulsions have been obtained at 25.0 °C as a function of the AOT concentration at the constant R (=[H2O]/[AOT]) values of 3, 8, and 20 or 30. The overall second-order rate constants are higher in microemulsions than in bulk water and decrease significantly as both the AOT concentration (at constant R) and the molar ratio R (at a given [AOT]) increase. The quantitative analysis of the kinetic data, made by applying the pseudophase model, lead…
Ascorbic Acid Oxidation in Sucrose Aqueous Model Systems at Subzero Temperatures
2004
The reduction of Tempol by ascorbic acid in concentrated sucrose solutions was measured by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) at temperatures ranging from 16 to −16 °C. This method allowed the determination of the rate constants (k) of this fast reaction, by recording the Tempol reduction as a function of time. The two reactants were initially separated and had to migrate for the reaction to occur. The experimental findings were compared with predicted values according to the equation for diffusion-controlled reaction proposed by Atkins. The experimental reaction rate constants were observed to be lower than the calculated ones. However, the experimental values were found to be controlle…
Phenylation of cationic allylpalladium(II) complexes by tetraphenylborate anion. A mechanistic study
1990
Abstract The mechanism of the reaction of allyl complexes [Pd(η3-2-R′C3H4)(NN′)]+ (NN′ = α-diimine ligand) wiht BPh4− in the presence of activated olefins (ol), yielding the products [Pd(η2-ol)(NN′)] and PhCH2C(R′)CH2, has been investigated. The results are interpreted in terms of extensive association between the cationic substrate and the BPh4− anion in a tight ion-pair, followed by rate-determining phenyl transfer to the palladium center and fast reductive elimination of allylbenzene.
The catalytic reduction of nitrobenzene at the [MoVIO2(O2CC(S)(C6H5)2)2]2? complex intercalated in a Zn(II)-Al(III) layered double hydroxide host: A …
2001
The heterogeneous reduction of nitrobenzene by thiophenol catalyzed by the dianionic bis(2-sulfanyl-2,2-diphenylethanoxycarbonyl) dioxomolybdate(VI) complex, [MoVIO2(O2CC(S)(C6H5)2)2]2−, intercalated into a Zn(II)–Al(III) layered double hydroxide host [Zn3−xAlx(OH)6]x+, has been investigated under anaerobic conditions. Aniline was found to be the only product formed through a reaction consuming six moles of thiophenol for each mol of aniline produced. The kinetics of the system have been analyzed in detail. In excess of thiophenol, all reactions follow first-order kinetics (ln([PhNO2]/[PhNO2]0) = −kappt) with the apparent rate constant kapp being a complex function of both initial nitrobenz…
A comparative account of quantum dynamics of the H+ + H2 reaction at low temperature on two different potential energy surfaces
2014
Rotationally resolved reaction probabilities, integral cross sections, and rate constant for the H+ + H2 (v = 0, j = 0 or 1) → H2 (v′ = 0, j′) + H + reaction are calculated using a time-independent quantum mechanical method and the potential energy surface of Kamisaka et al. [J. Chem. Phys.116, 654 (2002)] (say KBNN PES). All partial wave contributions of the total angular momentum, J, are included to obtain converged cross sections at low collision energies and rate constants at low temperatures. In order to test the accuracy of the KBNN PES, the results obtained here are compared with those obtained in our earlier work [P. Honvault et al. , Phys. Rev. Lett.107, 023201 (2011)] using the ac…
The effect of excipients on the stability and phase transition rate of xylazine hydrochloride and zopiclone
2015
The compatibility of thermodynamically unstable polymorph of two active pharmaceutical compounds (xylazine hydrochloride form X and zopiclone form C) with different excipients was investigated. The effects of the excipient and its amount in the sample on the thermal properties and possible chemical interactions were studied. The most commonly used excipients in the pharmaceutical industry - calcium carbonate, lactose hydrate, cellulose, magnesium stearate hydrate and calcium stearate hydrate were selected for this study. The dependence of the phase transition rate from an unstable to a more stable polymorph on the excipients and their amounts in the initial sample was analysed at 80°C, and …
Hydration and dehydration kinetics of xylazine hydrochloride
2009
From the experiments where mixture of xylazine hydrochloride hydrate H and anhydrous X were held at constant conditions, the stable form of xylazine hydrochloride can be found out. To determine equilibrium relative humidity, the unstable form of xylazine hydrochloride was inserted in thermostated humidity chamber and its weight was recorded by weighing the sample outside the chamber. The kinetic model and the rate constant for each condition were determined. The rate constants give information regarding the speed of the process at every experimentally used relative humidity. Thus using the data in coordinates k – p for each temperature it is possible to determine the water vapor pressure of…
Rapid odorant release in mammalian odour binding proteins facilitates their temporal coupling to odorant signals.
2010
; We have measured the effect of rat odorant-binding protein 1 on the rates of ligand uptake and liquid-to-air transfer rates with a set of defined odorous compounds. Comparison of observed rate constants (k(obs)) with data simulated over a wide range of different kinetic and thermodynamic regimes shows that the data do not agree with the previously held view of a slow off-rate regime (k(off) <0.0004 s(-1)). We propose that a rapid koff would be a necessary requirement for such a system, since slow odorant-release rates would result in significant decorrelation between the olfactory world and odour perception.

Photocatalytic oxidation of acetonitrile in gas–solid and liquid–solid regimes
2005
Il programma NON mi ha consentito di scaricare il PDF di questo articolo. Se lo volete ditemi come inviarlo ABSTRACT Photocatalytic degradation of acetonitrile was carried out in both gas–solid and liquid–solid regimes using two commercial TiO2 catalysts (Merck and Degussa P25). For the gas–solid regime, a continuous annular photoreactor was used. The influence on photodegradation kinetics of the gas flow rate and concentrations of acetonitrile, oxygen, and water was investigated. Acetonitrile degradation products detected in the gas phase included carbon dioxide and hydrogen cyanide. The same photoactivity was exhibited in the presence and in the absence of water vapour. The liquid–solid reg…
