The complexation of La(III) by the water-soluble p-sulfonatocalix[4]arene was thermodynamically characterized by 139La NMR. The 139La NMR data are consistent with the formation of a 1:1 complex resulting from electro static interactions between the sulfonato groups and La(III). The complexation is entropy-driven and is characterized by a positive standard enthalpy (ΔrH° = 11.0 ± 0.5 kJ mol–1) and a positive standard entropy (ΔrS° = 108 ± 2 J K–1 mol–1), which are in very good agreement with the ones determined previously by microcalorimetry. The linear relationship between the 139La NMR linewidth of the free and of the complexed cation, obtained at temperatures ranging from 290 to 340 K, excludes the formation of complexes or aggregates other than the 1:1 complex. It shows also that upon complexation, the effective radius of La(III) undergoes an increase of 50%, related to the replacement of water molecules of the hydrated cation by sulfonato groups of the ligand.Key words: complexation, water-soluble calixarene, p-sulfonatocalix[4]arene, 139La NMR, lanthanum.

Metal-perchlorate solutions have been investigated by the X-ray scattering technique and 35Cl NMR spectroscopy. The aim of this work was to obtain structural information on the complex formation between the Cerium and the Perchlorate group and on the ClO-4 - H2O interactions. The NMR data, the correlation functions and the analysis of the structure functions agree with the literature information about the Ce - (OClO3)z species present in aqueous solutions. Good agreement with experimental data is achieved through a model in which the Perchlorate ions are bonded as monodentate ligands to the Cerium(III). No complex formation is confirmed for Mg(II). The cations also possess a second coordination shell of water molecules. Some indications have been obtained supporting the presence of ClO-4 - H2O contacts.

The 13C and 31P NMR data of the Horner phosphines PRR′R″ [R = Me. R′ = t-Bu, R'″ = Ph (2) or i-Pr (4)] and their diastereomeric 1:1 adducts with [η3-(+)(1 R, 5 R)-pinenyI]nickel bromide dimer (3) and (5), respectively, are reported. It is shown that the optical purities of the phosphines can be deduced easily from the NMR spectra. Not only are these values in very good agreement with those obtained from optical rotatory data but they are also obtained much more conveniently.

A water-soluble low-molecular D-glucan was isolated from leaves of the medicinal plant marsh-mallow (Althaea officinalis L.). The results of methylation analysis, partial hydrolysis, periodate oxidation, and 13C NMR data indicated a virtually linear structure with α-(1→6) glycosidic bonds.

Kefiran is an exopolysaccharide classified as a heteropolysaccharide comprising glucose and galactose in equimolar quantities, and it is classified as a water-soluble glucogalactan. This work aimed to investigate the effect of different extraction conditions of kefiran on the structural and physical properties of the edible films obtained. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy were performed, together with a determinations of moisture content, solubility, water vapor permeability and degree of swelling. The kefiran films presented values of the water vapor permeability between 0.93 and 4.38 × 10−11 g/m.s.Pa. These results can be attributed to the development of a more compact structure, where glycerol had no power to increase the free volume and the water vapor diffusion through their structure. The possible conformational changes in the kefiran film structure, due to the interspersing of the plasticizers and water molecules that they absorb, could be the reason for producing flexible kefiran films in the case of using glycerol as a plasticizer at 7.5% w/w. Moreover, it was observed that the extraction conditions are a significant factor in the properties of these films and their food technology applications.

Abstract The cryoscopic measurements show that title compounds are strongly associated in CHCl3 solutions. The association of the 20 R epimer is distinctly less pronounced than that of the 20 S epipmer. Self-association of the 20 S epimer leads to the formation of very large com­plexes. The 20 R epimer forms associates via water molecules. The dissimilarity may be ex­plained in terms of different accessibility of the lactam carbonyl groups in the two epimers for the association. It is proposed that the association process is controlled by the configura­tion at the carbon atom C(20) and conformation around the C(20)-C(22) bond. Populations of side chain conformations of both epimers were determined by means of proton nuclear magnetic resonance. It was found for the 20 R epimer that the t and the -g rotamers are almost equally populated, and the rotamer +g is excluded. For the 20 S epimer the +g rotamer predominates over the t one, and the -g rotamer is excluded. The NMR data are fully consistent with the results of the molecular modelling studies.

Semicarbazones can exist in two tautomeric forms. In the solid state, they are found in the keto form. This work presents the synthesis, structures and spectroscopic characterization (IR and NMR spectroscopy) of four such compounds, namely the neutral molecule 4-phenyl-1-[phenyl(pyridin-2-yl)methylidene]semicarbazide, C19H16N4O, (I), abbreviated as HBzPyS, and three different hydrated salts, namely the chloride dihydrate, C19H17N4O+·Cl−·2H2O, (II), the nitrate dihydrate, C19H17N4O+·NO3 −·2H2O, (III), and the thiocyanate 2.5-hydrate, C19H17N4O+·SCN−·2.5H2O, (IV), of 2-[phenyl({[(phenylcarbamoyl)amino]imino})methyl]pyridinium, abbreviated as [H2BzPyS]+·X −·nH2O, with X = Cl− and n = 2 for (II), X = NO3 − and n = 2 for (III), and X = SCN− and n = 2.5 for (IV), showing the influence of the anionic form in the intermolecular interactions. Water molecules and counter-ions (chloride or nitrate) are involved in the formation of a two-dimensional arrangement by the establishment of hydrogen bonds with the N—H groups of the cation, stabilizing the E isomers in the solid state. The neutral HBzPyS molecule crystallized as the E isomer due to the existence of weak π–π interactions between pairs of molecules. The calculated IR spectrum of the hydrated [H2BzPyS]+ cation is in good agreement with the experimental results.

SummaryA simple, rapid and sensitive spectrophotometric assay was developed and evaluated for monitoring proteolysis during cheese ripening, based on the fact that α-amino groups released by hydrolysis of cheese proteins react with trinitrobenzenesulphonic acid to form products that absorb strongly at 420 nm. A linear relationship was shown to exist between A420 and concentration of free α amino groups up to 0·5 HIM (r = 0·999, 38 df, P < 0·001). Repeatability of the method was satisfactory. The coefficient of variance was 0·53% for amino acid solutions and 1·19% for cheese extracts. Average recovery of glycine added to the cheese was 104 ± 2·9%. A comparison of the above method with that of determination of water-soluble N to total N ratio showed that there was good agreement between these two methods of assessment of proteolysis in cheese (r = 0·857, 32 df, P < 0·001). Mainly Feta and Teleme cheese were examined, but a similar correlation was obtained with hard Greek cheeses. Analytical conditions of the procedure are discussed.

A terpolymer with a molecular weight of 45 kDa containing 7 mol.% of vinylamine units, 80 mol.% of vinylpyrrolidone, and 3 mol.% of vinyliminodiacetic acid units has been synthesized. Its complexation with Ga3+ ion has been studied by HPLC. The resulting metal–polymer complex has been characterized by exclusion chromatography and spectral (IR, 1H NMR) data. The complex has a monomolecular structure where the metal ion acts as an anchor fragment between vinyliminodiacetic acid units and is stable in the reaction of interligand exchange with histidine.

Abstract A theoretical molecular modelling study has been conducted for cutin, the biopolyester that forms the main structural component of the plant cuticle. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, extended over several ten picoseconds, suggests that cutin is a moderately flexible netting with motional constraints mainly located at the cross-link sites of functional ester groups. This study also gives structural information essentially in accordance with previously reported experimental data, obtained from X -ray diffraction and nuclear magnetic resonance experiments. MD calculations were also performed to simulate the diffusion of water mole­cules through the cutin biopolymer. The theoretical analysis gives evidence that water perme­ation proceedes by a “hopping mechanism”. Coefficients for the diffusion of the water molecules in cutin were obtained from their mean-square displacements yielding values in good agreement with experimental data.
