Transport mechanism of peptides through supported liquid membranes
2007
Abstract The transport of selected dipeptides through supported liquid membranes impregnated with di(2-ethylhexyl) phosphoric acid in n-dihexylether has been investigated. The fluxes depend on the side chain of amino acids, presence in the peptide structure. The highest fluxes were obtained for the peptides extracted with the highest efficiency. It has been found that the hydrophobicity of investigated peptides, was not the major factor, influences their SLM permeation. In the conditions studied, it has been observed that the transport of peptide–carrier complex was depending on the acidic–basic properties of the analyte. The linearly least-square fittings of log {K1 + [H+]D} and log[(HR)2]…
Single particle jumps and correlated ionic motions in glass-ceramics
1993
Using impedance spectroscopy, the ion transport in poorly Li-conducting aluminosilicate glass ceramics and their precursor glasses has been measured for temperatures 50 K < T < 550 K and covering a frequency range of more than 14 decades from 10 mHz up to 3 THz. In addition to the familiar cooperative ionic motion dominating at high temperatures, for the first time dielectric relaxation due to elementary hopping processes is observed well below room temperature.
Amphiphilic Polyethers of Controlled Chain Architecture
2003
The amphiphilic polymers, polymers which contain in their macromolecules both hydrophilic and hydrophobic units1, are the base for valuable materials due to their diversified interaction with liquids. So they may act as emulsifiers, compatibilizers, “smart” materials (responding to external stimuli)2 and many others. In order to control their properties, the hydrophilic — hydrophobic balance in the macromolecules has to be controlled. This balance depends not only upon the constitution of the chain repeating units, but also upon the art of their distribution in the chains (copolymers of controlled unit sequences), the chain topology, the size of the chains and many others. So a careful engi…
Kinetics and Mechanisms in the Anionic Polymerization of Methacrylic Esters
1987
Under appropriate conditions the anionic polymerization of methacrylates proceeds in an ideal manner leading to polymers with narrow molecular weight distributions. From the kinetics of polymerization and from the microstructure of the polymers the existence of different active species is concluded, the most important one being a peripherally solvated contact ion pair. Depending on polymerization conditions two different modes of monomer addition can occur. Homo- and copolymerization experiments show that the influence of the ester group is mainly given by electronic effects. In non- polar solvents the polymerization of tert.-butyl methacrylate (in contrast to methyl methacrylate) leads to …
Fractionated precipitation of acid macropolyanions by dialysis, a simple method for the estimation of DNA in complex biological samples.
1976
Abstract After efficient extraction by para-aminosalicylate, (hopping, grinding and eventual sonication, the macropolyanions are transformed into their cetyltrimethylammonium salts. These have differing solubilities, strongly depending on ionic strength. The cationic detergent-macropolyanionic salts are solubilized by high salt concentration. Salt is then dialysed out, rendering the polyanions highly insoluble in a sequential fashion. The insolubilized components are determined quantitatively by monitoring turbidity, which in case of DNA is strictly proportionate to its concentration. This relation is not affected by other components. This makes DNA determination possible even in crude aque…
Oxygen atom transfer catalysis by dioxidomolybdenum(VI) complexes of pyridyl aminophenolate ligands
2021
Abstract A series of new cationic dioxidomolybdenum(VI) complexes [MoO2(Ln)]PF6 (2–5) with the tripodal tetradentate pyridyl aminophenolate ligands HL2-HL5 have been synthesized and characterized. Ligands HL2-HL4 carry substituents in the 4-position of the phenolate ring, viz. Cl, Br and NO2, respectively, whereas the ligand HL5, N-(2-hydroxy-3,5-di-tert-butylbenzyl)-N,N-bis(2-pyridylmethyl)amine, is a derivative of 3,5-di-tert-butylsalicylaldehyde. X-ray crystal structures of complexes 2, 3 and 5 reveal that they have a distorted octahedral geometry with the bonding parameters around the metal centres being practically similar. Stoichiometric oxygen atom transfer (OAT) properties of 5 with…
Structural and Transport Properties of Bola C-16 Micelles in Water and in Aqueous Electrolyte Solutions
2003
Aqueous solutions containing a bolaform surfactant [R,ω-(4,7,10,13-pentaoxa-16-azacyclooctadecane)- hexadecane], with and without electrolytes have been investigated as a function of surfactant concentration and ionic strength. Small angle neutron scattering (SANS), NMR self-diffusion, and other physical-chemical methods were used. From the analysis of SANS data it was inferred that in water the surfactant forms slightly charged ellipsoidal micelles, because of the partial hydrolysis of amino groups. The aggregates grow with the increase of concentration, becoming more elongated. Due to the selective complexing ability of aza crown ether units, significant differences were observed upon add…
Hydrolysis of (CH3)Hg+ in Different Ionic Media: Salt Effects and Complex Formation
1998
The hydrolysis of monomethylmercury(II) was studied potentiometrically, in NaNO3, Na2SO4, and NaCl aqueous solution, in a wide range of ionic strengths (NaNO3, 0 ≤ I ≤ 3.25; Na2SO4, 0 ≤ I ≤ 1; NaCl, 0 ≤ I ≤ 3 mol dm-3) and at t = 25 °C. For the reaction (CH3)Hg+ = (CH3)Hg(OH)° + H+, we found log K1 = −4.528 (I = 0 mol dm-3). The species [(CH3)Hg]2(OH)+ was also found, with log β2 = −2.15. Monomethylmercury(II) forms quite strong complexes with Cl- (log K = 5.45, I = 0 mol dm-3) and SO42- (log K = 2.64, I = 0 mol dm-3). The dependence on ionic strength of formation constants was considered by using a Debye−Huckel type equation. Hydrolysis and complex formation constants (at different ionic s…
Reversible swelling of polyanion/polycation multilayer films in solutions of different ionic strength
1996
Immersion of consecutively adsorbed polyanion/polycation multilayer films in solutions of different ionic strength causes reversible thickness changes. Swelling of the films up to 18% was observed after soaking the films in aqueous solutions of NaCl at concentrations up to 1.0 mol/l. X-ray reflectivity clearly shows that the thickness changes are reversible within experimental error and that the films seem to get smoother after several cycles of immersion in salt solutions and in pure water. The extent of swelling depends on the internal film structure, namely on the number of polyanion/polycation interfaces in a film of a given thickness. Interestingly, the swelling levels off at salt conc…
Transfer of Some Alkyl Substituted Ferrocenes from Water to Cationic Surfactant Micelles Studied by Kinetic Method
1994
Abstract Binding of ferrocene and its 1,1′-dimethyl and n -butyl derivatives to dodecyl and tetradecyltrimethylammonium nitrate micellar aggregates has been studied at 20.0°C and ionic strength 0.02 tool dm -3 by examining the micellar retarding effects on the rates of iron(III) oxidation of these substrates. Solubilization of the ferrocenes in the cationic micellar phase increases as the substrate hydrophobic character increases and, to a lesser extent, as the surfactant hydrocarbon chain length becomes longer. The critical micelle concentrations of the surfactants used and the incremental free energy of transfer of methylene groups of both the substrate and the surfactant from the aqueous…
