In an attempt to extend the application of the phenylisothiocyanate degradation of peptides it was found necessary to study the kinetics of the conversion of phenylthiocarbamyl amino acids into phenylthiohydantoins. The conversion was found to obey first-order kinetics and to be catalyzed by hydrogen ions. A set of conditions with regard to time, hydrogen ion concentration and temperature was found, which allowed the quantitative or near quantitative conversion of all phenylthiocarbamyl amino acids into phenylthiohydantoins with the only exception of the phenylthiohydantoin of serine, which was returned in a yield of 20%.

The kinetics of hexachloroiridate(IV) oxidation of tin(II) in aqueous perchlorate media at a constant ionic strength of 2.0 mol dm-3 have been studied spectrophotometrically. The reaction was found to follow second-order overall kinetics and first order with respect to each of the reactants. The results showed hydrogen ion dependence where the reaction rate increased with increasing hydrogen ion concentration. The activation parameters were evaluated and a tentative reaction mechanism has been discussed.

SummaryThe kinetics of the oxidation of plutonium(IV) by manganese dioxide were studied in 1.0 M NaCl over the pH range from 2.5 to 8.2 with variable concentrations of manganese dioxide from 0.01 mIn the pH range from 2.0 to 3.5, the oxidation of Pu(IV) by manganese dioxide was first order with respect to the concentration of manganese dioxide and −0.21 with respect to the hydrogen ion concentration. Consequently, assuming a first order dependence with respect to the concentration of Pu(IV), the oxidation reaction can be described by the following rate equation:with

Visual purple from winter frogs shows an intermediate yellow color during bleaching by light; summer extractions do not. This seasonal effect can be duplicated by variations in the hydrogen ion concentration and in the temperature of the solutions. Increasing the pH approximates the summer condition, while decreasing the pH approximates the winter condition. Temperature has no effect on the bleaching of alkaline solutions but greatly influences acid solutions. At low temperatures the bleaching of add solutions resembles the winter condition, while at higher temperatures it resembles the summer condition. A photic decomposition product of frog retinal extractions is an acid-base indicator: it is yellow in acid and colorless in alkaline solution. Its color is not dependent upon light. The hydrogen ion concentration of visual purple solutions does not change under illumination, nor is there a difference in the pH of summer and winter extractions. Bile salt extractions of visual purple are usually slightly acid. The conflicting results of past workers regarding the appearance of "visual yellow" may be due to seasonal variation with its differences in temperature, or to the presence of base in the extractions. It is also possible that vitamin A may be a factor in the seasonal variation. The photic decomposition of visual purple in bile salts solution, extracted from summer frogs, follows the kinetics of a first order reaction. Visual purple from winter frogs does not conform to first order kinetics. Photic decomposition of alkaline, winter visual purple extractions also follows a first order equation. Acid, winter extractions appear to conform to a second order equation, but this is probably an artefact due to interference by the intermediate yellow.

The kinetics of the formation of the mono-oxalato complexes of iron (III) have been examined spectrophotometrically over the range of temperatures 5 to 25 °C in an aqueous medium of ionic strength 0.50 and the range of hydrogen ion concentrations 0.03 to 0.45 M. The kinetic-ally significant paths under the conditions studied involve reactions first order in iron (III) and in bioxalate but there appears to be some decrease in the second order rate constant with increase in hydrogen ion concentration at the highest acidities and at the highest temperatures. Although there is no significant contribution to the rate by an acid-independent path first order in free oxalate under the experimental conditions, the possibility of the rate constant for such a path being greater than that first order in bioxalate is not precluded.

1. In the Lamellibranchs, as typified by Pecten maximus, Mya arenaria and Ensis siliqua, the entire, gut has an acid reaction, the stomach being the most acid region and the pH rising along the mid-gut and rectum.2. The origin of the acidity of the gut lies in the style. This has a low pH (5·4 in Pecten and Mytilus, 4·6 in Ensis and 4·45 in Mya), and, after it has been artificially extracted from Mya or induced to disappear, by keeping the animals under abnormal conditions, in Mytilus, Tapes and Pecten, the pH of the stomach invariably rises (by as much as 0·825 in Mya and 0·72 in Tapes), although the pH in the mantle cavity has fallen.3. The style, which dissolves rapidly in alkaline or weakly acid media, is not dissolved in fluids below a certain pH—4·4 for Ensis, 4·2 for Mya, 3·6 for Pecten and Mytilus.4. The style is never absent, even though animals are starved, so long as they are kept under otherwise healthy conditions. The disappearance of the style under abnormal conditions is probably due to a lowering of the vital activities, which include the secretion of the style substance, and the consequent dissolution of the style by the less acid contents of the stomach.5. The style is only maintained as a result of a balance between the rate of its secretion and the rate of its dissolution.6. There is a well-marked correlation between the tolerance of the presence of hydrogen ions possessed by the cilia from the various regions of the gut and the degree of acidity of the fluid with which they are normally surrounded.7. The pH of the gut in five Gastropods has been investigated. The fore-gut and stomach have invariably the lowest pH.8. This acidity may be caused by the salivary glands (Patella and Buccinum), the digestive gland (Doris and Aplysia), or the style (Crepidula).9. The mid-gut and rectum have a high pH, except in Doris, where there is little secretion of mucus, the gut being free and muscular.10. The style of Orepidula has similar properties to those of the Lamellibranchs. It has a pH of 5·8, and is not dissolved in fluid of pH 3·6 or lower.11. The cilia from the gut of Buccinum and Doris can function in a pH of 5·0, but there is little difference in the toleration of the various cilia to the presence of hydrogen ions.

The rate of hydrolysis of iodopentaaquochromium(III) ion has been measured as a function of pressure (0.1 to 250 MPa) and hydrogen ion concentration (0.1 to 1.0 mol kg−1) at 298.2 K and ionic strength 1.0 mol kg−1 (aqueous HClO4–LiClO4). The volumes of activation for the acid independent and inversely acid dependent hydrolysis pathways are −5.4 ± 0.5 and −1.6 ± 0.3 cm3 mol−1 respectively, and are not detectably pressure-dependent. Consideration of these values, together with the molar volume change of −3.3 ± 0.3 cm3 mol−1 determined dilatometrically for the completed hydrolysis reaction, indicates that the mechanisms of the two pathways are associative interchange (Ia) and dissociative conjugate base (Dcb) respectively.

The kinetics of the hemolytic reaction effected by the hemolysin of Clostridium septicum, strain 44, has been studied with regard to the effect of concentration, temperature, and hydrogen ion concentration on the rate of the hemolytic reaction. The kinetics of hemolysis was found to resemble in several respects that of enzyme-catalyzed reactions, but differed in the absence of a clearly defined pH optimum. Attention is drawn to differences between the hemolytic system studied and certain other hemolytic systems.

<p>The preparation of a range of fully saturated, unsubstituted pentaazamacrocycles is described. The macrocycles vary in ring size from fifteen to twenty members, and comprise every possible arrangement of dimethylene and trimethylene linkages between five nitroqens in a monocyclic arrangement. A new linear homologue of tetraethylene pentamine with trimethylene linkages between nitrogens is also reported. The copper(II) and nickel(II) complexes of these amines have been prepared; the conductivity and spectral properties have been determined in order to investigate their stereochemistry. The nickel(II) complexes of the two largest macrocycles appear to be five-coordinate both in the solid state and in solution. The remainder of the complexes are either five-coordinate (as the perchlorate salts in the solid state or in non-coordinating solvents) or six-coordinate (with a coordinated nitrate). Cobalt(III) complexes of the fifteen to eighteen membered macrocycles have been prepared with a variety of ligands occupying the sixth coordination site. Ligand field parameters have been derived from the electronic spectra of the complexes. The stereochemistry of the complexes and their behaviour on ligand substitution have been investigated principally by 13C n.m.r. Only a few of the numerous possible isomers of each species were formed. The structures of [Co(1, 4, 7, 10, 14-pentaazacycloheptadecane) Cl]Br0.33 Cl1.67. H2O and [Co(1, 4, 7, 11, 15-pentaazacyclooctadecane)Br]Br2, which were determined by single-crystal x-ray diffraction studies, are described. The spontaneous aquation rates of the bromo complexes have been investigated semi-quantitatively, and found to span many orders of magnitude. The most labile bromo complex [Co(1, 4, 8, 11, 15-pentaazacyclooctadecane)Br]Br2 spontaneously aquates in a matter of seconds at room temperature. The increasing strain and steric crowding caused by successive replacement of five-membered chelate rings by six-membered chelate rings, or by simply altering the sequence of five- and six-membered chelate rings is manifested in a progressive increase in the instability of the complexes. In the case of the nineteen- and twenty-membered macrocycles, this crowding and strain results in the formation of stable five-coordinate cobalt(II) complexes; for these ligands, no stable complexes were formed with the smaller cobalt(III) cation. The acid-dissociation kinetics of the copper(II) complexes have been examined in nitric acid at 298 K. A variable temperature study has also been performed on the complex of l, 4, 7, 10, 14-pentaazacycloheptadecane in order to determine the activation parameters. The complexes are labile by comparison with most tetraazamacrocyclic complexes. The dissociation reactions are first-order in complex concentration, but the acid-dependence varies. The observed rate constant is second-order in hydrogen ion concentration for the complex of 1, 4, 7, 10, 13-pentaazacyclopentadecane, first-order in hydrogen ion concentration for 1, 4, 7, 10, 14-pentaazacycloheptadecane and takes the form kobs = a[H+]2/(l+b[H+]2) for the complex of 1, 4, 7, 10, 13-pentaazacyclohexadecane. For the remainder of the complexes, the observed rate constant takes the form kobs = (c[H+] + d[H+]2)/(e + [H+]). Possible mechanisms that are consistent with the above behaviour are presented.</p>

The structure of the spermatheca of Loligo vulgaris is described; it lies on the inner wall of the buccal membrane and within it large quantities of inactive spermatozoa are stored. This inactivity of the spermatozoa within the spermatheea is attributed to the effect of the secretion of the goblet-cells, situated as unicellular glands on the inner wall of the spermatheca. Inactive spermatozoa from the spermatheca become very active in sea-water, but are immobilized again after a few moments' contact with the pulp of the spermatheca contents. The hydrogen-ion concentration of the spermatheca contents is approximately 6.06; and, since spermatozoa become inactive in sea-water, the hydrogen-ion concentration of which is increased to this level, it seems probable that the inactivity of the spermatozoa within the spermatheca is due to the presence of hydrogen-ions. The spermatheca is functionally comparable to the mammalian epididymis.

The normal pH of human extracellular fluid is maintained within the range of 7.35 to 7.45. The four main types of acid–base disorders can be defined by the relationship between the three variables, pH, Pco2, and HCO3 –. Respiratory disturbances begin with an increase or decrease in pulmonary carbon dioxide clearance which—through a shift in the equilibrium between CO2, H2O, and HCO3 –—favours a decreased hydrogen ion concentration (respiratory alkalosis) or an increased hydrogen ion concentration (respiratory acidosis) respectively. Metabolic acidosis may result when hydrogen ions are added with a nonbicarbonate anion, A−, in the form of HA, in which case bicarbonate is consumed, or when bicarbonate is removed as the sodium or potassium salt, increasing hydrogen ion concentration. Metabolic alkalosis is caused by removal of hydrogen ions or addition of bicarbonate. Laboratory tests usually performed in pursuit of diagnosis, aside from arterial blood gas analysis, include a basic metabolic profile with electrolytes (sodium, potassium, chloride, bicarbonate), blood urea nitrogen, and creatinine. Calculation of the serum anion gap, which is determined by subtracting the sum of chloride and bicarbonate from the serum sodium concentration, is useful. The normal value is 10 to 12 mEq/litre. An elevated value is diagnostic of metabolic acidosis, helpful in the differential diagnosis of the specific metabolic acidosis, and useful in determining the presence of a mixed metabolic disturbance. Acid–base disorders can be associated with (1) transport processes across epithelial cells lining transcellular spaces in the kidney, gastrointestinal tract, and skin; (2) transport of acid anions from intracellular to extracellular spaces—anion gap acidosis; and (3) intake.
