Organic/inorganic molecular conductors based upon perylene and Lindquist-type polyoxometalates
2001
The preparation, structures and physical properties of the organic/inorganic radical salts based upon perylene (per) and Lindquist type polyoxometalates (POMs) are reported. Three new hybrid salts have been prepared: (per)5[Mo6O19] (1), (per)5[W6O19] (2), and (per)5[VW5O19] (3). Only structures 1 (P, Z = 2) and 3 (P, Z = 2) were fully determined as compound 2 was found to have unit cell parameters practically identical to 1 and, therefore, is considered isostructural with the latter. The structures consist of interpenetrated organic and mixed organic/inorganic layers in the ac plane alternating along the a direction. The organic layers present a novel packing mode of the perylene molecules …
Homogeneous mixtures of polybetaines with low molecular weight salts
1996
The prepaparation of amorphous, homogeneous blends of zwitterionic polymers with various low molecular weight salts, and in particular with ionic dyes was studied. Homogeneous miscibility was achieved in many cases up to equimolar amounts of salt, even for bulky compounds. Whether miscibility is achieved, or not, depends in a subtle way on the chemical structure of the salt, but no obvious correlation between structure and miscibility could yet be revealed. Spectral shifts of the dye UV/Vis spectra in solution as well as in bulk suggest strong interactions between the polybetaines and the admired salts.
Spectroscopic and structural characterization of pure and FeCl3-containing tri-n-butyl phosphate
2014
The spectroscopic properties and liquid structure of pure tri-n-butyl phosphate (TBP) and FeCl3/TBP solutions have been investigated by Uv–Vis and Raman spectroscopies, X-ray diffraction and conductometry. Uv–Vis and Raman spectra, supported by conductometric measurements, consistently indicate that the solubilized salt is present mostly as TBP n [FeCl3 − n ] n+ and FeCl4 − complex ions due to specific interaction with the TBP phosphate group. Thanks to this interaction, a high amount of salt (up to 13 % w/w) can be dissolved despite the relatively low dielectric constant of TBP. The X-ray diffractogram of pure TBP has been interpreted in terms of three main contributions which can be attri…
Influence of solvent structure on ion pair association: The conductance of potassium perchlorate in ethylene carbonate-acetonitrile mixtures at 25�C
1974
The conductance of potassium perchlorate in mixtures of ethylene carbonate and acetonitrile covering the range 82.6 ≥ D ≥ 36.0 in dielectric constant has been measured. The Walden products in these aprotic solvents are approximately one-half as large as the products for the same salt in isodielectric mixtures of water and tetramethylene sulfone. This alters the distribution between electrostatic and hydrodynamic terms in the theoretical conductance function in such a way that the calculated association constants for potassium perchlorate are much smaller in the aprotic mixtures.
Intra-Helical Salt Bridge Contribution to Membrane Protein Insertion.
2021
ABSTRACTSalt bridges between negatively (D, E) and positively charged (K, R, H) amino acids play an important role in protein stabilization. This has a more prevalent effect in membrane proteins where polar amino acids are exposed to a very hydrophobic environment. In transmembrane (TM) helices the presence of charged residues can hinder the insertion of the helices into the membrane. This can sometimes be avoided by TM region rearrangements after insertion, but it is also possible that the formation of salt bridges could decrease the cost of membrane integration. However, the presence of intra-helical salt bridges in TM domains and their effect on insertion has not been properly studied ye…
The correlation between electrochemical impedance spectra and voltammograms of PB films in aqueous NH4Cl and CsCl
1998
Abstract Voltammetric curves of reduction of Prussian Blue Films to the Everitt’s Salt form and oxidation to the Prussian Yellow form show important differences depending on the supporting electrolyte countercation. The rate of the overall electron-hopping depends on the countercation. Apparent diffusion coefficients are evaluated from impedance spectra at different stabilization potentials. The dependence of the apparent diffusion coefficients on the stabilization potential can help understand the dependence of the voltammograms shape on the countercation nature.
An Electronic Perspective On The Electrochemical Changeover In Prussian Blue-Like Materials
2009
Derivative voltabsometric scans together with previous electrogravimetric results allow to distinguish between the different electrochemical processes due to Fe-sites located into the Prussian Blue crystalline framework and other located next to ferrocyanide vacancies. The potassium, proton and hydrated proton counterions involved in these reactions are correlated to changes in near-UV/VIS/near-IR spectra. Potassium counter-ions show two different sites for insertion: one located into the crystalline framework and the other into ferrocyanide vacancies. From the monitoring of electroactive Fe-sites, it is possible to assume that the reduction of all Fe-sites located next to ferrocyanide vaca…
Usefulness of F(dm/dQ) Function for Elucidating the Ions Role in PB Films
2007
The conversion process of "insoluble" prussian blue (PB) films into the "soluble" structure has been followed by the simultaneous measurement of current and mass changes during voltammetric experiments and focusing on the possibilities of the use of the instantaneous mass/electrical charge ratio at each potential. A similar procedure was used for the analysis of the mechanism of reduction of PB films to the Everitt's salt form and to follow the partial dissolution of iron species during the oxidation to the prussian yellow form. The possibility of covering PB films by Nafion membranes, which make difficult the transport of anions through it, allows us to discern the role of anions in the so…
Usefulness of the Instantaneous Mass-charge Ratio for Elucidating the Ions Role in the Stabilization and Dissolution Processes in Prussian Blue Films
2007
The conversion process of 'insoluble' Prussian Blue films into the 'soluble' structure has been followed by the simultaneous measurement of current and mass changes during voltammetric experiments and focusing on the possibilities of the use of the instantaneous mass/electrical charge ratio at each potential. A similar procedure was used for the analysis of the mechanism of reduction of Prussian Blue films to the Everitt's Salt form and to follow the partial dissolution of iron species during the oxidation to the Pussian Yellow form. The possibility of covering Prussian Blue films by Nafion membranes which make difficult the transport of anions through it allows to discern the role of anion…
Allylammonium hydrogen oxalate hemihydrate
2014
In the title hydrated molecular salt, C3H8N+·C2HO4−·0.5H2O, the water O atom lies on a crystallographic twofold axis. The C=C—C—N torsion angle in the cation is 2.8 (3)° and the dihedral angle between the CO2and CO2H planes in the anion is 1.0 (4)°. In the crystal, the hydrogen oxalate ions are linked by O—H...O hydrogen bonds, generating [010] chains. The allylammonium cations bond to the chains through N—H...O and N—H...(O,O) hydrogen bonds. The water molecule accepts two N—H...O hydrogen bonds and makes two O—H...O hydrogen bonds. Together, the hydrogen bonds generate (100) sheets.
