Influence of orange cultivar and mandarin postharvest storage on polyphenols, ascorbic acid and antioxidant activity during gastrointestinal digestio…
2017
Polyphenols, ascorbic acid content and antioxidant activity of two sweet oranges (Navel-N and Cara Cara-CC) and mandarin (Clementine-M) as well as their bioaccessibilities were evaluated in pulps and compared to those in fresh juice. Thus, pulps of oranges and mandarins displayed higher hesperidin (HES), narirutin (NAR), total flavonoids (TF), total phenols (TP) and antioxidant activity (AAC) than their corresponding juices. Also, CC products presented higher bioactive compounds content than N ones. Bioaccessibility of bioactive compounds and AAC were higher in pulps of both oranges and mandarin than in their corresponding juices. Oranges (N and CC) pulps and juices presented higher bioacce…
Determination of kinetic parameters of redox reactions using CE‐ICP‐MS: A case study for the reduction of Np(V) by hydroxylamine hydrochloride
2018
The rate constants k of the reduction of 5 × 10-5 M Np(V) to Np(IV) by hydroxylamine hydrochloride (HAHCl) in 1 M HCl have been determined by CE-ICP-MS in the temperature range of ϑ = 30-70°C and with varying concentrations of HAHCl from 1 to 7.2 M. The reaction was found to have (pseudo)first order kinetics with respect to HAHCl. The experimental results for k ranged from 0.0029(1) min-1 (ϑ = 40°C, c(HAHCl) = 3 M) to 0.039(7) min-1 (ϑ = 60°C, c(HAHCl) = 7.2 M). The activation energy of the reaction was determined as EA = (72 ± 10) kJ/mol. These results and a comparison with literature data show that the coupling of CE to ICP-MS provides a powerful analytical tool for the investigation of…
Gas-phase selective oxidation of chloro- and methoxy-substituted toluenes on TiO2–Sepiolite supported vanadium oxides
2009
Abstract Catalytic behaviour of vanadium oxide systems (5–20 wt.% V2O5) supported on TiO2–Sepiolite (with titania loading around the theoretical monolayer, 12 wt.%, 12Ti–Sep) and, as reference, on Sepiolite calcined (Sepc) in the p-substituted toluene derivatives selective oxidation was studied. In all the catalysts studied p-chloro (p-ClBA) and p-methoxybenzaldehyde (p-MeOBA) were the main products. The yields to benzaldehydes obtained with %V/12Ti–Sep are comparable with some of those reported in the literature under similar kinetically controlled experimental conditions (Sp-ClBA = 70% and X = 19% were obtained at 653 K on 20 V/12Ti–Sep). The activity for benzaldehyde derivatives formatio…
Coupling between oxidation kinetics and anisothermal oil flow during deep-fat frying
2021
Deep-fat frying is a cooking technique that has been used continuously since prehistoric times. A domestic deep-fryer heated from the bottom develops significant convection inside the bath cavity. It is responsible for very high heat transfer coefficients and the exposure of the deep-frying oil to the atmospheric oxygen. The continuous conversion of gaseous dioxygen into unstable and reactive hydroperoxides and their subsequent advection throughout the bulk volume is at the origin of the main complaints made of frying which includes issues such as odors, fouling, and generation of several toxic compounds. This study analyzes the coupling between natural convection of triacylglycerols and th…
Intramolecular proton transfer boosts water oxidation catalyzed by a Ru complex
2015
We introduce a new family of complexes with the general formula [Run(tda)(py)2]m+ (n = 2, m = 0, 1; n = 3, m = 1, 2+; n = 4, m = 2, 32+), with tda2– being [2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine]-6,6″-dicarboxylate, including complex [RuIV(OH)(tda-κ-N3O)(py)2]+, 4H+, which we find to be an impressive water oxidation catalyst, formed by hydroxo coordination to 32+ under basic conditions. The complexes are synthesized, isolated, and thoroughly characterized by analytical, spectroscopic (UV–vis, nuclear magnetic resonance, electron paramagnetic resonance), computational, and electrochemical techniques (cyclic voltammetry, differential pulse voltammetry, coulometry), …
Synthesis and characterization of vanadyl(IV) complexes of Schiff bases derived from anthranilic acid and salicylaldehyde (or its derivatives) or ace…
1997
Anhydrous, dimeric vanadyl(IV) complexes of Schiff bases derived from [1+1] condensation of salicylaldehyde (or its derivatives) and anthranilic acid, have been synthesized from CH3CN and were characterized by elemental analysis, FTIR, EPR, absorption, TGA, cyclic voltammetry and room temperature magnetic susceptibility measurements. These complexes were found to be oxidized by air in polar solvents like MeOH and DMF to V-V products. The E(1/2) values were found to be around 660 mV indicating that the carboxylate group favours vanadyl(IV) binding when compared to the alkoxo-bound vanadium complexes. Oxidative instability of these complexes are dependent on the substituent on the salicylalde…
A novel series of rhenium-bipyrimidine complexes: synthesis, crystal structure and electrochemical properties
2007
Four novel rhenium complexes of formula [ReCl(4)(bpym)] (1), [ReBr(4)(bpym)] (2) PPh(4)[ReCl(4)(bpym)] (3) and NBu(4)[ReBr(4)(bpym)] (4) (bpym = 2,2'-bipyrimidine, PPh(4) = tetraphenylphosphonium cation and NBu(4) = tetrabutylammonium cation), have been synthesized and their crystal structures determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The structures of 1 and 2 consist of [ReX(4)(bpym)] molecules held together by van der Waals forces. In both complexes the Re(iv) central atom is surrounded by four halide anions and two nitrogen atoms of a bpym bidentate ligand in a distorted octahedral environment. The structures of 3 and 4 consist of [ReX(4)(bpym)](-) anions and PPh(4)(+) () or NBu(4)…
Chemistry and reactivity of dinuclear iron oxamate complexes: alkane oxidation with hydrogen peroxide catalysed by an oxo-bridged diiron(III) complex…
2004
[EN] A new dinuclear iron(III) complex with the tetradentate ligand N,N'-o-phenylenebis(oxamate) (opba) has been synthesised, and structurally, magnetically and electrochemically characterised. It possesses an unprecedented triply bridged Fe-2(mu-O)(mu-RCO2...H2O...O2CR)(2) core, whereby two N-amides from the opba ligand complete the square-pyramidal coordination sphere of the O-carboxylate rich iron site (Fe-N = 2.053 Angstrom and Fe-O = 2.015 Angstrom), The antiferromagnetic exchange interaction between the two high-spin Fe-III ions through the oxo bridge (J = -190 cm(-1); H = -JS(1)(.)S(2)) is weaker than that found in related mu-oxo singly bridged diiron(III) complexes. The lessened ant…

Catalytic Oxidation of Alkanes and Alkenes by H 2 O 2 with a μ‐Oxido Diiron(III) Complex as Catalyst/Catalyst Precursor
2015
A new mu-oxo diiron(III) complex of the lithium salt of the pyridine-based unsymmetrical ligand 3-[(3-{[bis(pyridin-2-ylmethyl)amino]methyl}-2-hydroxy-5-methylbenzyl)(pyridin2-ylmethyl)amino] propanoate (LiDPCPMPP), [Fe-2(mu-O)(LiDPCPMPP)(2)](ClO4)(2), has been synthesized and characterized. The ability of the complex to catalyze oxidation of several alkanes and alkenes has been investigated by using CH3COOH/H2O2 (1:1) as an oxidative system. Moderate activity in cyclohexane oxidation (TOF = 33 h(-1)) and good activity in cyclohexene oxidation (TOF = 72 h(-1)) were detected. Partial retention of configuration (RC = 53%) in cis- and trans-1,2-dimethylcyclohexane oxidation, moderate 3 degrees…
