Isobaric Vapor−Liquid and Liquid−Liquid Equilibria for Chloroform + Methanol + 1-Ethyl-3-methylimidazolium Trifluoromethanesulfonate at 100 kPa
2009
Isobaric vapor−liquid equilibria for the binary system chloroform + methanol as well as the vapor−liquid equilibria for the chloroform + methanol + [emim][triflate] ternary system have been obtained at 100 kPa using a recirculating still. The ternary ionic liquid (IL) system presents an immiscibility zone at high chloroform composition, which increases with the temperature. Liquid−liquid equilibria for this system have also been determined. The measured ternary vapor−liquid equilibrium data were correlated using the Mock’s electrolyte nonrandom two-liquid (NRTL) model which reproduces reasonably well the experimental values and predicts the total disappearance of the azeotrope when the mole…
Supported liquid membrane extraction of aromatic aminophosphonates
2001
Abstract A fast and efficient supported liquid membrane (SLM) extraction system for the series of substituted aromatic aminophosphonates was elaborated. The mass transfer of solute was examined in terms of operator (pH and ionic strength of water phase, composition of membrane phase and the concentration of analyte) dependent parameters. Additionally, the influence of the aminophosphonates structure on the extraction efficiency was examined. From the results it can be concluded that the most effective conditions of membrane process are 10% (w/w) carrier concentration (Aliquat 336) in the liquid membrane, high pH of donor phase (pH=11) and moderate salt concentration (0.4 M NaCl) in the acce…
Inducing mixing of water-in water BSA/dextran emulsion by a strong polyelectrolyte
2015
Abstract We examine whether a small amount of strong polyelectrolyte (dextran sulfate sodium salt/DSS/) can induce mixing in water-in-water bovine serum albumin/dextran (BSA/DEX) emulsion and how intermacromolecular interactions affect its the rheological properties. Addition of DSS to water-in-water emulsion at pH 5.4 leads to its mixing at the DSS/BSA weight ratio, ( q ( DSS / BSA ) ) ≥ 0.07 , a noticeable increase in viscosity and storage modulus (G′). Mixing is reversible: increasing the ionic strength leads to phase separation in the water/BSA/DEX/DSS system. The increase in viscoelasticity results from the interaction of DSS with both macromolecular compounds of the emulsion. We assum…
The chemistry of Cr(VI) adsorption on to poly(p-phenylenediamine) adsorbent
2019
Abstract Water pollution due to industrial processes has necessitated and spurred robust research into the development of adsorbent materials for remediation. Polyphenylenediamines (PPD) have attracted significant attention because of their dual cationic and redox properties. They are able to reduce Cr(VI) to Cr(III) in solution. Interrogation of the chemical processes involved in the Cr(VI) adsorption on para-PPD was primarily by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. It was confirmed that the underlying oxidation of the amino groups to imines during the reduction of Cr(VI) to Cr(III) was irreversible. This process occurred at both acidi…
The interaction of native calf thymus DNA with FeIII-dipyrido[3,2-a:2’,3’-c]phenazine
2008
The mono and bis dipyrido[3,2-a:2',3'-c]phenazine (dppz) adducts of iron(III) chloride, i.e. [Fe(dppz)]Cl(3) and [Fe(dppz)(2)]Cl(3), have been synthesized and characterized. The interaction of the Fe(III)dppz hydrolyzed aquo complex with native calf thymus DNA has been monitored as a function of the metal complex-DNA molar ratio, by variable temperature UV absorption spectrophotometry, circular dichroism (CD) and fluorescence spectroscopy. The results obtained in solution at various ionic strength values give support for a tight intercalative binding of the Fe(III)dppz cation with DNA. In particular, the appearance of induced CD bands, caused by the addition of Fe(III)dppz, indicate the exi…
Dynamic Light Scattering Investigation of the Kinetics and Fidelity of Supramolecular Copolymerizations in Water
2017
The self-assembly of supramolecular copolymers facilitates the preparation of multifunctional materials, with tunable mechanical, electronic, or bioactive properties. Compared to covalent copolymerization protocols, controlling the molecular weight, stability, and monomer sequence of a multicomponent supramolecular copolymer remains limited. Here, we report a light scattering investigation of the charge-regulated supramolecular copolymerization in neutral buffer of physiological ionic strength, supported with electron microscopy and circular dichroism spectroscopy experiments. Dendritic anionic and cationic peptide comonomers self-assemble into AB-type heterocopolymers with a nanorod-like m…
Circular dichroism of polynucleotides: Interactions of NiCl2 with poly(dA-dT).poly(dA-dT) and poly(dG-dC).poly(dG-dC) in a water-in-oil microemulsion.
2008
The thermal behavior of the synthetic, high molecular weight, double stranded polynucleotides poly(dA-dT)·poly(dA-dT) [polyAT] and poly(dG-dC)·poly(dG-dC) [polyGC] solubilized in the aqueous core of the quaternary water-in-oil cationic microemulsion CTAB|n-pentanol|n-hexane|water in the presence of increasing amounts of NiCl2 at several constant ionic strength values (NaCl) has been studied by means of circular dichroism and electronic absorption spectroscopies. In the microemulsive medium, both polynucleotides show temperature-induced modifications that markedly vary with both Ni(II) concentration and ionic strength. An increase of temperature causes denaturation of the polyAT duplex at lo…
Supramolecular polymerization of sulfated dendritic peptide amphiphiles into multivalent L-selectin binders
2021
The synthesis of a sulfate-modified dendritic peptide amphiphile and its self-assembly into one-dimensional rod-like architectures in aqueous medium is reported. The influence of the ionic strength on the supramolecular polymerization was probed via circular dichroism spectroscopy and cryogenic transmission electron microscopy. Physiological salt concentrations efficiently screen the charges of the dendritic building block equipped with eight sulfate groups and trigger the formation of rigid supramolecular polymers. Since multivalent sulfated supramolecular structures mimic naturally occurring L-selectin ligands, the corresponding affinity was evaluated using a competitive SPR binding assay…

Substituted derivatives such as (Ib,c) react with very high degree of stereochemistry explained by a cationic palladacycle intermediate similar to the one postulated for the Cope-rearrangement of 1,5-dienes.
Structure Effect of Imidazolium-Based Dicationic Ionic Liquids on Claisen Rearrangement
2014
A large group of imidazolium-based dicationic ionic liquids (DILs) has been prepared in good yields. Thermal stability of all DILs has been determined. The effects of the reaction time, cation, imidazolium C2–H acidity, and anion on the Claisen rearrangement of allyl phenyl ether have been investigated. Type of anion and the presence of the acidic C2–H bond in the imidazolium moieties have proven to be essential for this reaction. The simple procedure and the possibility of avoiding the use catalysts and volatile organic solvents make this synthetic method environmentally benign and adaptable for large-scale applications.
