Host-guest interactions for extracting antibiotics with a γ-cyclodextrin poly(glycidyl-co-ethylene dimethacrylate) hybrid sorbent

2021

Abstract A procedure for the solid-phase extraction of antibiotics (enoxacin, ofloxacin, norfloxacin, ciprofloxacin, and sparfloxacin) in water has been developed. The sorbent used is based on a poly(glycidyl-co-ethylene dimethacrylate) network, whose previously modified surface has been functionalized with γ-cyclodextrin through a click-chemistry reaction. The architecture of the material has been characterized by thermogravimetric analysis, N2 adsorption-desorption, Raman spectroscopy, confocal microscopy, and scanning electron microscopy, showing good capability to be used as a filler for extraction cartridges. The optimization of the extraction methodology shows good intra-day and inter…

Spectroscopic behavior of metal–drug complexes. Infrared spectra of Cu(II) dimer complexes with acetazolamide (H2acm) and an analogue sulfonamide (B-…

1999

Abstract The infrared spectra of the drugs H2acm and B-H2ats, and their copper(II) dimer complexes with stoichiometries [Cu(acm)(NH3)2(OH2)]2·H2O and [Cu(B-ats)(NH3)2]2 are reported and discussed. The Raman spectra of H2acm and B-H2ats are also reported. An assignment of H2acm and B-H2ats modes in the complexes is proposed in comparison with the modes of the free ligands. The spectral modifications due to the deprotonation and coordination effects are analyzed. The ν(N–H) modes of the sulfonamido, carbonamido and Nring–H of the imine tautomer have been accurately assigned. Important information about the S–O and S–N vibrations has been obtained.

Imidazolium functionalized carbon nanotubes for the synthesis of cyclic carbonates: reducing the gap between homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis

2016

Single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) were functionalized with imidazolium salts bearing vinyl functionalities. An extremely high loading of active species was achieved through a straightforward one-pot procedure involving self-assembly of the imidazolium moieties followed by radical initiated polymerization of the double bonds. The materials were extensively characterized by transmission electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, nitrogen physisorption and combustion chemical analysis. The imidazolium functionalized SWCNTs displayed excellent catalytic activity for the reaction of CO2 and epoxides to produce cyclic carbonates as demonstrated by the excellent turnover numbers (TON). Moreove…

Experimental and theoretical studies on corals. I. Toward understanding the origin of color in precious red corals from Raman and IR spectroscopies a…

2009

An attempt to explain the origin of the vivid red color in precious pink and red corals was undertaken. Raman and IR spectroscopies were applied to characterize white, pink and red corals. The position of the Raman signal near 1500 cm −1 of some corals and pearls was associated by several authors with the presence of the mixture of all-trans-polyenic pigments, containing 6 – 16 conjugated C C bonds or β-carotenoids. This hypothesis was examined theoretically by performing extensive B3LYP-DFT calculations of vibrational spectra of the model polyenic compounds. The B3LYP/6-311++G ∗∗ predicted positions of the dominating Raman mode depend on the number of C Cu nits (Cn parameter) and can be ac…

Pressure dependence in the methyl vinyl ketone + OH and methacrolein + OH oxidation reactions: an electronic structure study.

2005

High-level electronic structure calculations were carried out for the study of the reaction pathways in the OH-initiated oxidations of methyl vinyl ketone (MVK) and methacrolein (MACR). For the two conformers of MVK (called synperiplanar and antiperiplanar), the addition channels of OH to the terminal and central carbon atom of the double bond dominate the overall rate constant, whereas the abstraction of the methyl hydrogen atoms has no significant kinetic role. In the case of MACR, only the antiperiplanar conformer is important in its reactivity. In addition, the lower Gibbs free energy barrier for MACR corresponds to the aldehydic hydrogen abstraction reaction, which will be somewhat mor…

1988

Monte Carlo simulations are presented for binary (AB) symmetric polymer mixtures (chain lengths NANBN) for the case that an attractive interaction ϵ exists between monomers of the same kind, and the limiting case that one species (B) is very diluted. It is shown that with increasing interaction strength ϵ/(kB · T), T being the absolute temperature, the minority chains collapse to a very dense configuration, while the majority chains stay nearly Gaussian. Both chain radii, structure factors and numbers of nearest neighbour contacts are discussed.

Dunham coefficients of 14N2 from CARS measurements of high vibrational states in a low-pressure discharge

1988

Spectroscopic constants of the X1Σg+ ground state of 14N2 are deduced from CARS spectra recorded in a 4 Torr d.c. N2 glow discharge. Vibrational states up to ν = 14 have been observed but only the 11 lower levels which have a good signal-to-noise ratio have been processed. The Dunham constants that were deduced yield vibrational band centre positions in good agreement with those of Lofthus and Krupenie.

Elaboration and characterization of organic/inorganic hybrid nanoporous material incorporating Keggin-type Mo-Si polyanions

2007

A novel nanoporous (pore size of 11 nm in average, BET surface area of 30 m2/g, pore volume of 300 mm3/g) hybrid inorganic-organic material was synthesized using the solid-phase interaction at room temperature of plant-originated phenylpropanoid polymer lignin and a Keggin-type heteropolyanion [SiMo12O40]4-. The partly reduction of Mo(VI) to Mo(V) and complexes formation between lignin and polyanion have been established by EPR, FT-IR and Raman spectroscopy. The XRD pattern and FT-IR spectrum of the hybrid material and indicates that [SiMo12O40]4- anion maintains the Keggin structure.

Effects of isotopic substitution on the conformational properties of polymeric aqueous solutions

2000

Abstract This work deals with a side-by-side comparison between the PEO conformational properties in H 2 O and D 2 O. The gyration radius, evaluated by SANS, the hydrodynamic radius, evaluated by PCS, and the Raman D-LAM band analysis furnish valuable information on the structural arrangement of the molecules. The findings clearly show different behavioural properties of the polymer in H 2 O and D 2 O.

Characterisation of the glycosidic linkage by infrared and Raman spectroscopy in the C-H stretching region: α,α-trehalose and α,α-trehalose-2,3,4,6,6…

1991

Abstract I.r. and Raman spectra of solid α,α-trehalose and α,α-trehalose- 2,3,4,6,6-d 10 in the C-H and C-D stretching regions are recorded. The experimental data are reproduced satisfactorily by normal co-ordinate and i.r. absorption intensity calculations which take into account the specific interactions of each C-H hydrogen with nearby oxygen lone-pairs. The relevance of the region 2800–3000 cm −1 in α,α-trehalose- 2,3,4,6,6-d 10 for the study of the conformational properties of the inter-glycosidic linkage is discussed.
