NMR spectral and X-ray structural investigation of 1,3-bis(2-quinolyl)-2-(p-chlorophenyl)-2-propanol
2000
Abstract 1,3-Bis(2-quinolyl)-2-(p-chlorophenyl)-2-propanol (BQCP) has been prepared and characterised by 1H, 13C, 15N NMR spectral and X-ray structural parameters. The methylene protons of BQCP are diastereotopic in solution (CDCl3) as revealed by 1H NMR. In crystalline state there exists an intramolecular hydrogen bond O–H⋯N with one of two nitrogen atoms in BQCP. Variable temperature 1H NMR and PFG 1H, 15N HMBC runs show that in solution BQCP shows C2v-symmetry (both CH2-2-quinolyl fragments are equivalent) in NMR-time scale due to a fast exchange of the hydrogen bond from one nitrogen to the other even at 223 K.
Hydrophobic interactions and stacking forces: A convenient model system
1980
Abstract We consider solvent–biomolecule interactions and the role of solvent structural and isotopic alterations on the thermodynamic stability of biomolecular structures. Approaches to this problem range from the study of biomolecular functional stability, to that of the stability of small structural entities suitable of being taken as model systems for (parts of) larger molecules. We shall focus on this latter case and shall consider the dimerization process of small planar molecules (Methylene Blue). These are a convenient model system for the study of interactions responsible e.g. for base stacking in DNA. As an additional advantage, they do not form hydrogen bonds. The experimental st…
Enhanced (photo)catalytic activity of Wells-Dawson (H6P2W18O62) in comparison to Keggin (H3PW12O40) heteropolyacids for 2-propanol dehydration in gas…
2016
Abstract Catalytic and photocatalytic 2-propanol dehydration to propene at atmospheric pressure and a temperature range of 60–120 °C were carried out in gas-solid regime by using bare and supported Keggin H 3 PW 12 O 40 (PW 12 ) and Wells-Dawson H 6 P 2 W 18 O 62 (P 2 W 18 ) heteropolyacids (HPAs). Binary materials were prepared by impregnation of the HPAs on commercial SiO 2 and TiO 2 . The Wells-Dawson was in any case more active than the Keggin heteropolyacid and the differences were enhanced when the supported samples were used. In particular, Wells-Dawson HPA supported on TiO 2 and under irradiation showed the highest activity. The HPA species played the key role both in the catalytic …
Photo-assisted degradation of 2-propanol in gas–solid regime by using TiO2 impregnated with heteropolyacid H3PW12O40
2009
Abstract Commercial and home prepared TiO2 samples impregnated with tungstophosphoric acid (H3PW12O40) were used for the photo-assisted degradation of 2-propanol in gas–solid regime. The characterization results evidenced a good coverage of the polyoxometalate (POM) onto the surface of TiO2 along with a marginal effect of the presence of the POM on the specific surface area, morphology and cristallinity of the samples. Propene was the main intermediate product revealed in 2-propanol photocatalytic degradation by using as photocatalysts the samples containing the POM, whereas propanone was mainly obtained when the photocatalysts was bare TiO2, both commercial or home prepared. Acetaldehyde w…
Volumetric and Ultrasonic Studies of 1-Ethyl-3-methylimidazolium Trifluoromethanesulfonate Ionic Liquid with Methanol, Ethanol, 1-Propanol, and Water…
2007
The speed of sound and density of mixtures of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium trifluoromethanesulfonate ([emim][triflate]) with methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol, and water, as well as of the pure components have been experimentally measured over the whole range of compositions at T = (278.15 to 338.15) K and atmospheric pressure. From these experimental data, the excess molar volume, excess isentropic compressibility, and excess speed of sound have been calculated and fitted to an extended version of the Redlich−Kister equation, which takes into account the dependence on composition and temperature simultaneously. The Prigogine−Flory−Patterson theory has also been used to explain the behavior of t…
La1-xSrxCo1-yFeyO3-delta perovskites: Preparation, characterization and solar photocatalytic activity
2015
Abstract LaCoO3 perovskites substituted by Sr at the A site and/or by Fe at the B site have been prepared by the citrate method. Characterizations by several techniques, such as specific surface area (BET method), XRD, TPR, SEM, UV–vis in DRS mode, XPS and TGA analyses, have been performed. The so prepared La1−xSrxCo1−yFeyO3−δ perovskites are semiconductor materials showing band gap energy values from 1.9 to 3.2 eV. They displayed solar photocatalytic activity for the 2-propanol degradation in gas–solid regime. The photocatalytic results suggest that the perovskites containing Fe are less active and the activity decreases by increasing the Fe content, however the presence of iron avoids the…
Comparison of the photocatalytic degradation of 2-propanol in gas–solid and liquid–solid systems by using TiO2–LnPc2 hybrid powders
2009
Photocatalytic degradation of 2-propanol was carried out as a probe reaction both in gas–solid and in liquid–solid systems in the presence of TiO2 both bare and impregnated with lanthanide (Sm, Gd, Ho) bis-phthalocyanines (LnPc2) used as sensitizers. Continuous and batch photo-reactors, irradiated with an equal flux of photons, were used in gas–solid and in liquid–solid systems, respectively. Propanone and acetaldehyde were the main intermediates found in both systems during 2-propanol oxidation, whereas carbon dioxide and water were the final oxidation products exclusively in the gas–solid regime. The photocatalysts exhibited significantly higher activity in the liquid–solid system than in…
Combined Theoretical and Experimental Study of the Photophysics of Asulam
2013
The photophysics of the neutral molecular form of the herbicide asulam has been described in a joint experimental and theoretical, at the CASPT2 level, study. The unique π → π* aromatic electronic transition (f, ca. 0.5) shows a weak red-shift as the polarity of the solvent is increased, whereas the fluorescence band undergoes larger red-shifts. Solvatochromic data point to higher dipole moment in the excited state than in the ground state (μ(g)μ(e)). The observed increase in pKa in the excited state (pKa* - pKa, ca. 3) is consistent with the results of the Kamlet-Abboud-Taft and Catalán et al. multiparametric approaches. Fluorescence quantum yield varies with the solvent, higher in water (…
Bile acid amidoalcohols: simple organogelators.
2003
Simple bile acid amide synthesis of lithocholic and deoxycholic acids with 2-aminoethanol and 3-aminopropanol are reported. The structural properties of these amides were examined by NMR spectroscopic, ESI-TOF mass spectral, and X-ray crystallographic methods. The gelation properties of these amides in common organic solvents and in three different water solutions were also investigated using Tyndall effect, SEM, TEM, and optical microscopy. 2-Hydroxyethylamides were found to be effective gelators in chlorinated organic solvents and 3-hydroxypropylamides in aromatic solvents. Both derivatives thicken neutral and acidic water solutions.
Systematic review with meta-analysis: the haemodynamic effects of carvedilol compared with propranolol for portal hypertension in cirrhosis
2013
Summary Background Propranolol is recommended for prophylaxis of variceal bleeding in cirrhosis. Carvedilol is a nonselective beta-blocker with a mild anti-alfa-1-adrenergic activity. Several studies have compared carvedilol and propranolol, yielding inconsistent results. Aim To perform a systematic review and meta-analysis of the randomised clinical trials comparing carvedilol with propranolol for hepatic vein pressure gradient reduction. Methods Studies were searched on the MEDLINE, EMBASE and Cochrane library databases up to November 2013. The weighted mean difference in percent hepatic vein pressure gradient reduction and the relative risk of failure to achieve a hemodynamic response (r…
