A versatile viscometric method for the study of dissolved proteins, exemplified for casein micelles in ammoniacal solutions

2017

Abstract Viscosities of casein solutions were measured within the dilute range in ammoniacal water and in saline solvents containing different amounts and different kinds of salt. All these data are modeled quantitatively by means of an approach accounting for the polyelectrolyte character of casein micelles. Two parameters are required: The intrinsic viscosity [ η ] and a viscometric interaction parameter β . The behavior of casein is compared with that of chain-like polyelectrolytes. For both polymers one observes a pronounced reduction of [ η ] with increasing salt concentration. However, for casein the decline of [ η ] is less pronounced by more than an order of magnitude and depends on…

Insights into the Formation and Structures of Molecular Gels by Diimidazolium Salt Gelators in Ionic Liquids or “Normal” Solvents

2016

Insights are provided into the properties of molecular gels formed by diimidazolium salts both in “normal” solvents and ionic liquids. These materials can be interesting for applications in green and sustainable chemistry in which ionic liquids play a significant role, like catalysis and energy. In particular, two positional isomers of a diimidazolium cation have been examined with a wide range of anions for their ability to form gel phases. In particular, di-, tri-, and tetravalent anions bearing aliphatic or aromatic spacers were paired with the divalent cations. The properties of the organo- and ionogels formed have been analyzed by means of several different techniques, including calori…

Iodine Clathrated: A Solid‐State Analogue of the Iodine–Starch Complex

2019

Co-crystallizing iodine with a simple dicationic salt (1,8-diammoniumoctane chloride) results in the clathration of the iodine (I2 ) molecules inside trigonal and hexagonal helical channels of the crystal lattice with 72 wt % overall I2 loading. The I2 inside the bigger trigonal channel forms a I-I⋅⋅⋅I-I⋅⋅⋅I-I halogen-bonded infinite helical chain, while the I2 in the smaller hexagonal channel is disordered. In both channels the I2 interaction with the channel wall happens through I-I⋅⋅⋅Cl- halogen bonds. The helical channels in the crystal lattice are constructed via the strong charge-assisted H2 N+ H⋅⋅⋅Cl- hydrogen bonds between the dications and the chloride anions. The structure shows a…

N-Alkyl Ammonium Resorcinarene Salts: A Versatile Family of Calixarene-Related Host Molecules

2016

This chapter presents a review of the recent advances in the chemistry of N-alkylammonium resorcinarenes salt receptors. The Mannich condensation between amines (primary and secondary) and resorcinarenes result in resorcinarene tetrabenzoxazines and tetra-azoxazines. Only 2 isomers out of 16 potential isomers are formed. The resorcinarene tetrabenzoxazines possess deeper cavities than the parent resorcinarenes which are suitable for binding neutral and cationic guests. In the presence of mineral acids, the six-membered oxazine ring in the resorcinarene tetrabenzoxazines is opened, resulting in N-alkylammonium resorcinarene salts (NARSs). The NARSs possess four spatially-fixed anions within …

Cytochemical techniques for zinc and heavy metals localization in nerve cells

2002

Zinc is one of the most abundant oligoelements in the living cell. It appears tightly bound to metallothioneins, loosely bound to some metalloproteins and nucleic acids, or even as free ion. Small amounts of zinc ions (in the nanomolar range) regulate a plentitude of enzymatic proteins, receptors, and transcription factors; thus, cells need accurate homeostasis of zinc ions. Some neurons have developed mechanisms to accumulate zinc in specific membrane compartments ("vesicular zinc") which can be revealed using histochemical techniques. This article is a short report on the different direct-indirect experimental approaches for zinc and heavy metal detection in neurons. Substances giving a b…

(S,S,S,S)-Nebivolol hydro-chloride hemihydrate.

2012

The asymmetric unit of the title hydrated salt, C22H26F2NO4+·Cl−·0.5H2O, consists of an (S,S,S,S)-nebivolol {nebivol = bis[2-(6-fluoro-3,4-dihydro-2H-1-benzopyran-2-yl)-2-hydroxyethyl]ammonium} cation, a chloride anion and a half-occupancy water molecule. The dihedral angle between the mean planes of the benzene rings is 50.34 (12)°. The pyran rings adopt half-chair conformations. The crystal packing features O—H...O hydrogen bonds and weak N—H...Cl, O—H...Cl, and O—H...Cl interactions, producing layers along (010).

Different structural destinations: comparing reactions of [CuBr2(3-Brpy)2] crystals with HBr and HCl gas

2011

Reaction of green crystalline solid trans-[CuBr2(3-Brpy)2] 1 (3-Brpy = 3-bromopyridine) with HBr (aq) vapour yields brown crystalline salt (3-BrpyH)2[CuBr4] 2 with quantitative conversion. Notably 2 adopts a different crystal structure to the three mutually isostructural compounds (3-XpyH)2[CuCl4] (X = Cl, Br) and (3-BrpyH)2[CuBr2Cl2] which result from reaction with HCl. Crystalline product 2 has been characterised by X-ray powder diffraction and its conversion back to 1 at 370–400 K has been followed in situ by synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction. Crystalline 1 and 2 are further notable for the presence of intermolecular C–Br⋯Br–Cu halogen bonds and (only in the case of 2) N–H⋯Br–Cu hydro…

Coordination versatility of pyridine-functionalized N-heterocyclic carbenes: a detailed study of the different activation procedures. Characterizatio…

2005

Three different reaction procedures for the coordination of N-n-butyl-N'-(2-pyridylmethyl)imidazolium salt have produced new N-heterocyclic complexes of Rh and Ir. The direct reaction of the imidazolium salt with [IrCl(cod)](2) provides a NHC-Ir(III)-H complex, while transmetalation from a silver-NHC complex and deprotonation with NEt(3) give new NHC complexes of M(I) and M(III) when reacting with [MCl(cod)](2) or [MCl(coe)(2)](2) (M = Rh, Ir). The crystal structures of the biscarbene Rh(III) and Ir(III) complexes are described. The catalytic properties of the compounds obtained have been tested in the hydrosilylation of acetylenes, the cyclization of acetylenic carboxylic acids, and hydrog…
