Currently, Doi Chaang village is the biggest area producing coffee in Thailand. Throughout seed to cup the pulp must be removed from coffee cherry after harvesting and left as waste. Tannin is one of various composition in coffee pulp which is affected by soil nutrition and pH. In this study, we have characterized the amount of tanin in coffee pulp using UV-Visible spectroscopy and electronic structure calculation. The results showed that coffee pulp consist of 5.68% tannin . It was determined to condense tannin form. Moreover, the pH of soil after treated with modified coffee pulp with water, Ca(OH)2, Na2S2O5, 2% Ca(OH)2, and 2% Na2S2O5 is higher than that with non-modified case. Likewise, DFT calculations predicted the structure of tannin with smaller HOMO-LUMO gap in the condense tannin.

The apparent acidity constant of p-hydroxybenzophenone, which is a practically insoluble drug in water but of great pharmaceutical interest, was determined by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography in organic solvent – water mixtures (acetonitrile–water, ethanol–water, and methanol–water), varying the reaction medium permittivity in the interval 56 to 70, at constant ionic strength (0.050) and temperature (30 °C). A combined glass electrode calibrated with aqueous standard buffers was used to obtain pH readings based on the concentration scale (swpH). The pKa values from chromatographic data were obtained using the Hardcastle–Jano equation. Moreover, excellent linear relationships between the pKa values and solvation properties of the reaction medium (relative permittivity and Acity) were used to derive acid dissociation constants in aqueous solution. It has been concluded that the pKa values extrapolated from such solvent–water mixtures are consistent with each other and with previously reported measurements. In addition, the molecular structures of all the chemical species involved in the acid–base dissociation equilibrium studied were calculated with a B3LYP/6–311++G(d,p) method that makes use of the polarizable continuum model (PCM). Taking into account the theoretical pKa values, the conclusions obtained match our experimental determinations.Key words: solvent effects, p-hydroxybenzophenone, acidity constant, solvation parameters, structure, DFT calculation.

A novel acylhydrazone-based fluorescent sensor NATB was designed and synthesized for consecutive sensing of Al3+ and H2PO4−. NATB displayed fluorometric sensing to Al3+ and could sequentially detect H2PO4− by fluorescence quenching. The limits of detection for Al3+ and H2PO4− were determined to be 0.83 and 1.7 μM, respectively. The binding ratios of NATB to Al3+ and NATB-Al3+ to H2PO4− were found to be 1:1. The sequential recognition of Al3+ and H2PO4− by NATB could be repeated consecutively. In addition, the practicality of NATB was confirmed with the application of test strips. The sensing mechanisms of Al3+ and H2PO4− by NATB were investigated through fluorescence and UV–Visible spectroscopy, Job plot, ESI-MS, 1H NMR titration, and DFT calculations.

Objective: The objective of the present work was to develop and validate a novel, specific, precise and reliable method for estimation of gemcitabine hydrochloride in bulk and polymeric nanoparticles using UV-visible spectroscopy method.Methods: The UV-Visible spectrophotometric determination was performed with double beam Systronics UV-visible spectrophotometer; model UV-2201 (India). The proposed methods were validated for various parameters like linearity, precision, accuracy, robustness, ruggedness, detection, quantification limits, and formulation analysis as per international conference on harmonization (ICH) guidelines.Results: The method was based on measurement of absorbance at wavelength maxima i.e. 267.2 nm, λmax of the drug in distilled water, phosphate buffer pH 6.8 and 7.4. The method obeyed Beer Lambert’s law in the concentration range of 5-30 µg/ml andR2-value was found to be 0.999. Moreover, the % drug recovered from polymeric nanoparticles was found to be 97.97%.Conclusion: According to results, the currently developed method shows compliance with acceptance criteria with Q2 (R1) and international conference on harmonization (2005) guidelines, because the % RSD was found to be less than 2%. The developed method was simple, accurate and précised.

Abstract 15 iodine complexes with substituted thioureas were investigated in dichloromethane solution by UV-visible spectroscopy, and their equilibrium constants, reaction enthalpies and molar absorption coefficients were determined. The influence of the substituents on the properties of the charge-trans-fer complexes is examined. A critical discussion of previously published data is given, where comparable data are available.
