Zum Ligandenaustausch des Ferrocens mit Methyl- und Ethyl-substituierten Naphthalinen
1988
Abstract The replacement of a Cp ligand of ferrocene by each of ten unsymmetrically substituted naphthalenes yields pairs of complex ions [arene-FeCp] + , which have been identified from their 1 H NMR spectra. The influence of the substituent on the ratio of the two isomers, and its temperature dependence implies a complex reaction mechanism involving an η 2 -bound intermediate of the associated naphthalene. The proton resonances of the alkyl groups of the naphthalenes are shifted to lowfield by complexation; this effect decreases with increasing distance from the iron. The resonance shift of the arene protons has a different sign for the complexed (highfield) and the uncomplexed part (lowf…
Polymer- and template-related factors influencing the efficiency in molecularly imprinted solid-phase extractions
1999
Abstract This review identifies the factors of importance in the development of molecularly imprinted polymers for use in solid-phase extractions and summarizes the results obtained to date in the area of bioanalysis, pharmaceutical analysis and environmental analysis.
Zero- to Ultralow-Field NMR Spectroscopy of Small Biomolecules.
2021
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is a well-established analytical technique used to study chemicals and their transformations. However, high-field NMR spectroscopy necessitates advanced infrastructure, and even cryogen-free benchtop NMR spectrometers cannot be readily assembled from commercially available components. We demonstrate construction of a portable zero-field NMR spectrometer employing a commercially available magnetometer and investigate its applications in analytical chemistry. In particular, J-spectra of small representative biomolecules [13C]-formic acid, [1-13C]-glycine, [2,3-13C]-fumarate, and [1-13C]-d-glucose were acquired, and an approach relying on the prese…
Classification of vegetable oils according to their botanical origin using amino acid profiles established by High Performance Liquid Chromatography …
2010
Abstract A preliminary study using amino acid profiles to classify oils according to their botanical origin has been performed. Amino acid profiles were obtained from hydrolysis of proteins present in vegetable oils, and established by High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) with UV–vis detection. Proteins present in hazelnut, corn, soybean, olive, avocado, peanut and grapeseed oils were precipitated with acetone, and the residue was hydrolysed in acid medium. The amino acids obtained were derivatized with o -phthaldialdehyde and separated by HPLC. Peaks corresponding to 18 amino acids were observed using a C18 column and a gradient of acetonitrile–water in the presence of a 5 mM citr…
Analysis of the metabolic switch induced by the spirulina peptide SP6 in high fat diet ApoE-/-mice model: A direct infusion FT-ICR-MS based approach
2021
Atherosclerosis, dyslipidemia and hypertension are comorbid diseases often found in combination. Among different pharmacological approaches the employment of natural multifunctional peptides is an attractive option as side therapy. Mass spectrometry-based metabolomics provide valuable information on metabolic changes and can be useful to elucidate peptide pharmacodynamics. In this this work we performed a preliminary investigation on the potential effect of a recently characterized Spirulina platensis peptide named SP6 (GIVAGDVTPI) on the modulation of metabolism in a high fat diet ApoE-/- mice atherosclerotic model. A direct infusion Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrome…
Vibrational spectroscopy in soil and sediment analysis
2014
The literature concerning the use of vibrational spectroscopy for soil and sediment analysis, published in the last years, has been revised in order to provide a picture of the strengths and weaknesses of these direct techniques to characterize soil composition and properties. Many soil components as water, organic matter, like humic substances, and minerals, can be determined together with physicochemical parameters as pH, conductivity or redox potential. The main strategies to obtain sample spectra and to extract, as many as possible, useful information were evaluated, taking into account the progress on chemometrics and discussing the whole analytical process, from sampling to sample pre…
NMR Matrix Technique for Detecting Self Diffusion in Polymers
1979
A technique is discussed where monodisperse small spheres or cylindrical fibers of a polymer are embedded in a matrix of the corresponding fully deuterated polymer. On annealing the sample at a temperature above the glass transition the protonated macromolecules diffuse into the deuterated matrix and vice versa. Since the NMR spectrum depends upon the intermolecular proton proton dipolar coupling, the decrease of this coupling can be used to monitor the diffusion process. For particle diameters d ∼ 10−4 cm and annealing times t ∼ 105 s, extremely small diffusion constants D < d2/t are attainable. The NMR analysis of prospective diffusion experiments with polystyrene is discussed in some det…
Semicarbazides as gel forming agents for common solvents and liquid crystals
2006
This paper describes the synthesis of 14 new gelling agents with semicarbazide groups as H-bonding motifs and alkyl- and/or azobenzene side groups. They gel solvents like decaline, 1,2-dichlorobenzene and toluene and liquid crystalline mixtures. X-Ray structure analysis shows that the semicarbazides are connected by H-bonds, each molecule to four neighbours. As a result a ribbon is formed with a core of H-bonded semicarbazide groups and alkyl chains sticking to the side. IR measurements show an unchanged H-bonding motif in large crystals and in the gel fibres, even in LC-mixture. During heating the gel melts (rheology), while the H-bonding motif of the crystal disappears (IR and DSC measure…
Chemistry of Desiccant Properties of Carbohydrate Polymers as Studied by Near-Infrared Spectroscopy
2013
Published version of an article in the journal: Industrial and Engineering Chemistry Research. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1021/ie302199k The combination frequency of water molecule in near-infrared spectroscopy is very useful for studying water molecular adsorption on solid surfaces. The absorption is purely from water molecules, and the variation in the absorption bands reflects the change in the environment of the water molecules on a surface. This variation, in turn, reflects the nature of the functional groups on the surface. Recently, Christy used this information in combination with second-derivative techniques to probe the surface of hydrothermally tre…
Watching the photo-oxidation of a single aromatic hydrocarbon molecule
2001
International audience; The photooxidation of single dye molecules (see scheme) can be followed by confocal fluorescence microscopy. The self-sensitized reaction with singlet oxygen leads to a suite of products, which may be differentiated spectrally. Tentative structures for certain photoproducts have been obtained from quantum-chemical calculations.
