Enthalpies of mixing of some nitriles aqueous solutions with dodecylsurfactants micellar solutions
1988
The enthalpies of mixing of some n-nitriles (from acetonitrile to valeronitrile) aqueous solutions with dodecyltzimethylammonium bromide, sodium dodecylsulfate and dodecyltzimethylammonium oxide micellar solutions were determined. The measurements were performed by systematically changing the surfactant concentration at a given solute concentration. The experimental enthalpies were rationalized in terms of the standard enthalpy of transfer of solute from the aqueous to the micellar phase and of the distribution constant between the two phase. Information on the effect of the nature of the surfactant on the standard thermodynamic quantities of transfer(ΔG t o , ΔH t o , TΔS t o ) is reported…
Enthalpies of transfer of pentanol from water to sodium dodecylsulfate-dodecyl-dimethylamine oxide-water mixtures
1994
At a given surfactant-surfactant ratio, the enthalpies of transfer ΔH (W→W+S) of pentanol 0.03m from water to sodium dodecylsulfate (NaDS)-dodecyldimethylamine oxide-water mixtures as functions of the surfactants mixture concentration (m t) were determined. ForX NaDS=0.9, ΔH (W→W+S) increases monotonically withm t such as observed for pure surfactants. ForX NaDS=0.12 and 0.3, ΔH (W→W+S) increases withm t up to 0.12m beyond which it decreases withm t. AtX NaDS=0.6, two monotonic curves can be distinguished in the ΔH (W→W+S)vs. m t trend. Experimental data were fitted through an equation previously reported for additives in pure surfactants derived by assuming the pseudo-phase transition mode…
Analysis of an impedance function of zinc anodic dissolution
2004
Zinc anodic dissolution has been studied by means of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The kinetic study of the oxidation mechanism has allowed us to propose a theoretical impedance function for this system in deaerated sulphate medium. Relevant information on the faradaic process is provided by analysis of the theoretical impedance function. Kinetic parameters of this system can be calculated from the fitting of experimental data to the faradaic impedance function deduced theoretically. The physical measurements of this function are analysed by means of the dependence of simulated EIS spectra on kinetic parameters.
The interaction of amino acids with the major constituents of natural waters at different ionic strengths
2000
Abstract The interaction of amino acids with the major constituents of natural waters has been studied potentiometrically by determining protonation constants at different ionic strengths (e.g., I ≤5.6 mol (kg H 2 O) −1 (NaCl)) and in artificial seawater (containing Na + , K + , Ca 2+ , Mg 2+ , Cl − and SO 4 2− ) at different salinities. For glycine determinations in mixed NaCl–MgCl 2 , electrolyte solutions were also performed. The data included in this work, together with some already published, make it possible to calculate parameters for dependence on ionic strength using different models, i.e. an extended Debye–Huckel type equation and Pitzer equations. The results can be interpreted b…
Application of the Generalized Molar-Ratio Method to the Determination of the Stoichiometry and Apparent Binding Constant of Nanoparticle-Organic Cap…
2015
A generalization of the molar-ratio method is applied to the determination of the stoichiometry and apparent binding constant of metal nanoparticle-organic capping complexes (MmLx) using voltammetric data for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in air-saturated aqueous phosphate buffer solutions. The method is applied to the formation of binary nanohybrids consisting of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) capped with a rigid spacer, cucurbit[7]uril (CB), termed AuNP@CB, as well as to the formation of their ternary complexes (MmLxBz) with methylene blue (MB), termed AuNP@CB@MB. The obtained stoichiometries correspond to binding of four Au surface atoms for each CB unit.
Thermodynamic study of the interaction of long open-chain polyazaalkanes with cobalt(II) and nickel(II) ions
1993
Complexation equilibria between the open-chain terminally methylated polyamines 1,14-bis(methylamino)-3,6,9,12- tetraazatetradecane (L1), 1,17-bis(methylamino)-3,6,9,12,15-pentaazaheptadecane (L2), 1,20-bis(methylamino)- 3,6,9,12,15,18-hexaazaicosane (L3) and 1,23-bis(methylamino)-3,6,9,12,15,18,21-heptaazatricosane (L4) with Co2+ and Ni2+ have been studied by means of potentiometric and spectrophotometric methods in 0.15 mol dm−3 NaClO4 aqueous solution at 298.15 K The stability constants for the complexes formed have been determined from e.m.f, data. All these ligands form mononuclear ML2+ complexes of similar stability with Co2+ and Ni2+. Binuclear Co2L44+, Ni2L34+ and Ni2L44+ are also f…
Complexation of the potassium ion by diaza crown compounds in aqueous solutions
1988
The conductance behavior of potassium nitrate in water with and without 1,7,10,16-tetraoxa-4,13-diazacyclooctandecane[2.2] and 4,7,13,16,21,24-hexaoxa-1,10-diazabicyclo-8.8.8-exacosane[2.2.2] macrocyclic ligands have been studied in order to analyze the complexation behavior of potassium cations in water. The absence of the complexation found in the [2.2] system is discussed in terms of the ligand structural features (presence of hydrogen bond donor and acceptor sites). The ion pair association constant of potassium cryptate as obtained from conductance measurements is also reported and discussed.
Complexes of Tungsten(VI) with Mucic Acid: a Spectrophotometric and Polarimetric Study in Aqueous Solution
1986
Abstract Spectrophotometric work on mucic acid-W(VI) system shows the formation of three different oxoanion complexes in aqueous solution; their stability is dependent upon pH. One of the complexes is monomeric tungstodimucate and the other two are 2/2 species. An anomalous cryoscopic behaviour, similar to that of W(VI) tartaric system, has been observed for the dimeric complex formed at higher pH. The stoichiometries and conditional dissociation constants have been polarimetrically determined by means of competitive reactions between the mucic and tartaric ligands. 1 H and 13 C NMR spectra have been interpreted for the similar complex species of both mucic and tartaric acids.
Photocatalytic activity of transition-metal-loaded titanium(IV) oxide powders suspended in aqueous solutions: Correlation with electron–hole recombin…
2001
Photocatalytic reactions by transition-metal (V, Cr, Fe, Co, Cu, Mo, or W) loaded TiO2 (M-TiO2) powders suspended in aqueous solutions of methanol, (S)-lysine (Lys), or acetic acid were investigated. The photoactivities of various samples were compared with the rate constant (kr) of recombination of photoexcited electrons and positive holes determined by femtosecond pump–probe diffuse reflection spectroscopy (PP-DRS). As a general trend, increased loading decreased the rate of formation of the main products (H2 , pipecolinic acid (PCA), and CO2) under UV (>300 nm) irradiation, and the effect became more intense on increasing the loading. In PP-DRS, these M-TiO2 gave similar decays of absorp…

1986
The formation equilibria of nickel(II) violurato-complexes in water and dimethylsulphoxide-water (80∶20) as well as deprotonation of the coordinated ligands and related stereochemical changes are reported. The stability constants of the Ni2+-H2V− complexes logβ1=5.06, Iogβ2=9.38, logβ3=12.98 as well as the acidity constants of the [Ni(H2V)3]− complex, logβj1= 8.37, logβj2=15.76, logβj3=22.37 are determined at 25 °C and 0.1M NaClO4. A new violurato-complex of Ni2+, Na4[Ni(HV)3]5H2O, is isolated and characterized.
