The diffusion of deuterium through a Pd81Pt19 membrane was investigated. At six temperatures in the range 278.2-328.2 K the diffusion coefficients were determined by breakthrough method for the membrane with no initial content of deuterium. The determined activation energy of diffusion of deuterium equals E = 26.4 kJ/mol. The solubility of deuterium in Pd81Pt19 alloy at 278.2 K was measured by volumetric method. The influence of self-stresses on diffusion of deuterium was investigated by determination of diffusion coefficients for the Pd81Pt19 membrane with different initial contents of deuterium at 278.2 K.

An crystal-growth technique for single crystal x-ray structure analysis of high-pressure forms of hydrogen-bonded crystals is proposed. We used alcohol mixture (methanol: ethanol = 4:1 in volumetric ratio), which is a widely used pressure transmitting medium, inhibiting the nucleation and growth of unwanted crystals. In this paper, two kinds of single crystals which have not been obtained using a conventional experimental technique were obtained using this technique: ice VI at 1.99 GPa and MgCl<sub>2</sub>·7H<sub>2</sub>O at 2.50 GPa at room temperature. Here we first report the crystal structure of MgCl2·7H2O. This technique simultaneously meets the requirement of hydrostaticity for high-pressure experiments and has feasibility for further in-situ measurements.

Background: The present study was focused on the development of HPLC method for purity testing of sofosbuvir by the Design of Experiments and determination of the activation energy of hydrolytic degradation reactions of sofosbuvir using HPLC based on the kinetics of sofosbuvir degradation. Methods: Following four factors for the Design of Experiments were selected, stationary phase, an organic modifier of the mobile phase, column temperature and pH of the mobile phase. These factors were examined in two or three level experimental design using Modde 11.0 (Umetrics) software. The chromatographic parameters like resolution, USP tailing and discrimination factor were calculated and analysed by partial least squares. The chromatography was performed based on Design of Experiments results with the mobile phase containing ammonium phosphate buffer pH 2.5 and methanol as an organic modifier. Separation was achieved using gradient elution on XBridge BEH C8 at 50 °C and a flow rate of 0.8 mL/min. UV detection was performed at 220 nm. The activation energy of hydrolytic degradation reactions of sofosbuvir was evaluated using two different calculation methods. The first method is based on the slope of dependence of natural logarithm of the rate constant on inverted thermodynamic temperature and the second approach is the isoconversional method. Results and Conclusion: Calculated activation energies were 77.9 ± 1.1 kJ/mol for the first method and 79.5 ± 3.2 kJ/mol for the isoconversional method. The results can be considered to be identical, therefore both calculation methods are suitable for the determination of the activation energy of degradation reactions.

The equilibria and mechanism of addition of protons to the ethylenediphosphinetetraacetate anion (L4-) were studied in solution by the UV, IR, 1H and 31P NMR spectroscopic methods. A total of six protons can be bonded to the anion. They are added stepwise, first with partial formation of zwitterions containing P-H bonds, which then dissociate with formation of the free acid, H4L, where all four protons are bonded in carboxyl groups. The formation of zwitterions is strongly dependent on the concentration. In the final stage, the acid bonds two additional protons to form the bis-phosphonium cation, H6L2+. A number of isostructural salts containing this cation, H4L.2 HX (X = Cl, Br, I), have been prepared. The X-ray crystal structure determination of the bromide confirmed the expected arrangement. The bromide crystals are monoclinic, a = 578.2, b = 1 425.0, c = 1 046.7 pm, β = 103.07° with a space group of P21/c, Z = 2. The final R factor was 0.059 based on 1 109 observed reflections. The structure consists of H6L2+ cations containing protons bonded to phosphorus atoms (P-H distance 134 pm) and of bromide anions, located in gaps which are also sufficiently large for I- anions in the isostructural iodide. The interbonding of phosphonium cations proceeds through hydrogen bonds, C-OH...O=C, in which the O...O distance is 275.3 pm.

The effect of bifunctional alcohols ethylene glycol (EG) and 1,2-propylene glycol (1,2 PG) on the kinetic parameters for the irreversible chromate ion reduction were investigated by polarographic and coulometric methods of analysis. The electroreduction of chromate ion in neutral bifunctional alcohol solutions proceeds according to the scheme: Cr(VI)–Cr(III)–Cr(II) and the values of the standard rate constant k*0 decrease in the order H2O > EG > 1,2 PG. The values of real activation energy, Q, activation energy of diffusion, QD, and frequency factor log A° have been calculated. The obtained values of QD as well as Q proved the diffusion nature of limiting current. The values of the frequency factor log A° decrease in the order H2O > EG > 1,2 PG, which points to a less favourable orientation of the electroactive ions at the electrode surface in glycols.
