The Schiff base, N-n-butylsalicylideneimine, extracts more than 99.8% beryllium into toluene from dilute aqueous solution. The distribution of beryllium has been studied in the pH range 5-13 and is discussed in terms of the several complex equilibria in aqueous solution. The stability constants of the complexes formed between beryllium and the Schiff base are log β1 11.1 and log β2 20.4, and the distribution coefficient of the bis complex is 550. Over most of the pH range, hydrolysis of the Be2+ ion competes with complex formation and provides a means of measuring the hydrolysis constants. They are for the reactions: Be(H2O)42+ ↔ 2H+ + Be(H2O)2(OH)2, log*β2 - 13.65; Be(H2O)42+ ↔ 3H+ + Be(H2O)(OH)3-, log*β3 -24.11.

Zeolite beta, a large-pore zeolite, was investigated in this study with a view to examining it as a potential adsorbent for the removal of aniline from aqueous solutions. Two different metal-loaded zeolites were prepared by exchanging H-beta zeolite (SiO2/Al2O3 = 75:1) with copper. The influence of exchanged copper on the uptake level was assessed. The effect of varying the silica-to-alumina ratio of the H-beta zeolite on the aniline uptake level was also examined, using three different H-beta zeolites with ratios of 25:1, 75:1 and 150:1 as adsorbents. The sorption experiments indicated an uptake level of ca. 110–120 mg/g for each zeolite and this level was also adsorbed by the copper-modified H-beta zeolites (SiO2/Al2O3 = 75:1). In all cases, the adsorption process followed the Langmuir model for adsorption and the level of aniline adsorbed was largely unaffected by a change in temperature or the presence of extra framework copper. The stability of the exchanged copper on these zeolites was then examined by measuring the quantity of copper leached from each zeolite into solution as a function of pH. Minimum copper leaching was observed in the pH range 5–11. This provided a stable pH working range for the adsorbent materials.

The present work is aimed at investigating the chemicophysical properties of the interface between silicone oils (SOs) used in vitreoretinal surgery and aqueous solutions, in the presence of surfactant biomolecules. Such molecules are thought to play an important role in the formation of SO emulsions in vitrectomised eyes, in which the natural vitreous body has been replaced with a SO. In particular, we have measured the interfacial tension (IT) and the interfacial dilational viscoelasticity (DV) of the interface between SO (Siluron 1000) and serum proteins (albumin and γ-globulins) at various concentrations in a Dulbecco alkaline buffer. The equilibrium IT value is relevant for the onset of emulsification, and the DV influences the stability of an emulsion, once formed. The study is complemented by preliminary emulsification tests. The experimental results show that, when proteins are dissolved in the aqueous solution, the rheological properties of the interface change. The IT decreases significantly for physiological protein concentrations, and the DV modulus achieves high values, even for small protein concentrations. The emulsification tests confirm that, in the presence of proteins, emulsions are stable on the time scale of months. We conclude that the measured values of IT in the presence of serum proteins are compatible with the promotion of droplet formation, which, in addition, are expected to be stable against coalescence. Adsorption of biomolecules at the interface with the SO is, therefore, likely to play an important role in the generation of an emulsion in eyes subjected to vitrectomy. These findings are relevant to identify strategies to avoid or control the formation of emulsions in eyes.

Abstract A six-coordinated 3D metal–organic framework (MOF), namely, [Co(BPDC)(3-bpdb)(H2O)2]n (1) (H2BPDC = 4,4′-biphenyldicarboxylic acid, 3-bpdb = 1,4-bis(3-pyridyl)-2,3-diaza-1,3-butadiene) was purposefully constructed and characterized by single-crystal XRD, IR, elemental analyses, PXRD, SEM, and TGA. Crystal structural analysis revealed that the complex consists of a cds-type three-fold interpenetrated framework. Hirshfeld surface analysis yielded details of the surface characteristics of 1. Significant O−H···O hydrogen bonding interactions, which could promote the stability of the framework, were found is extremely stable in aqueous solution and can resist acids and bases over an extensive pH range of 2 - 13. 1 shows brilliant fluorescent emission in the solid state and in aqueous solution. Fluorescence titration, cyclic, and anti-interference experiments demonstrated that 1 is an excellent probe for Fe3+, CrO42‒ and Cr2O72‒ in water. The Ksv values of 1 for Fe3+, CrO42‒, and Cr2O72‒, which were as high as 1.06 × 104 M−1, 1.50 × 104 M−1, and 1.16 × 104 M−1, respectively, were comparable with those of other sensors. The quenching mechanism of the novel probe was subsequently explained.

Complex formation equilibria of diethyltin(IV) with five N-D-gluconylamino acids in aqueous solution (I = 0.1 M, NaClO4) were studied and the stabilities of the species were determined by potentiometric titrations. Diethyltin(IV) complexes of α-amino acid derivatives are water-soluble in the physiological pH range, while in the presence of N-D-gluconyl-β-alanine a precipitate is formed, which dissolves with increasing pH. 13C NMR measurements showed that in the N-D-gluconyl-α-amino acid complexes the ligand is coordinated through its deprotonated carboxylate oxygen, amide nitrogen and C(2)-hydroxy group, while for the soluble N-D-gluconyl-β-alanine complex the ligand is coordinated via the deprotonated carboxylate and C(3)-, C(4)-, C(5)-hydroxy groups. Mössbauer measurements reflected the geometry of the complexes formed.

The colour variation, colour intensity and stability at various pH values (2.0, 4.0, 7.0 and 9.0) of cyanidin 3-O-?-glucopyranoside (Cy3Glc) and its aglycone cyanidin was investigated during a period of 8 hours storage at 25?C. Our data showed that pH of aqueous solution had impact on spectroscopic profile of cyanidin and Cy3Glc. Beginning with the most acidic solutions, increasing the pH induce bathochromic shifts of absorbance maximum in the visible range for all examined pH values (with the exception pH 4.0 for cyanidin), while the presence of the 3-glucosidic substitution induce hypsochromic shift. Compared to cyanidin, Cy3Glc has higher colour intensity and higher stability in the whole pH range, except at pH 7.0. The 3-glucosidic substitution influences on the colour intensity of Cy3Glc in the alkaline region. After 8-hour incubation of Cy3Glc and cyanidin at pH 2.0 and 25 ?C, 99% of Cy3Glc and only 27% of cyanidin remained unchanged.

Rates of cation–pseudobase equilibration have been measured for a series of C-9 substituted (CH3, CH3CH2, C6H5CH2, (CH3)2CH, C6H5, 4-(CH3)2NC6H4) 10-methylacridinium cations in aqueous solution at 25 °C over the pH range of approximately 9–13. Separation of the rate constants for formation (kOH) and decomposition (k2) of each of these pseudobases allowed the calculation of the [Formula: see text] value for each cation. The presence of a C-9 isopropyl substituent enhances the stability of the pseudobase relative to the cation, whereas all other C-9 substituted cations have [Formula: see text] values greater than the 10-methylacridinium cation. There is no simple quantitative relationship between [Formula: see text] and the size of the C-9 substituent. Rate constants (kOH) for hydroxide ion attack on these C-9 substituted cations are in the order: H > primary alkyl > secondary alkyl > aryl, while rate constants (k2) for pseudobase decomposition are less predictable but generally follow the order: H > primary alkyl > aryl > secondary alkyl. These phenomena are shown to be consistent with a competition between destabilization of the cation by peri interactions between the C-9 substituent and H(1) and H(8) and reduced pseudobase solvation for large C-9 substituents. Resonance interactions of 9-aryl substituents with the acridine moiety of these cations are shown to be quite small. 9-Aryl-10-methylacridinium cations are approximately 30-fold more reactive towards hydroxide ion attack than are their triphenylmethyl carbocation analogues.
