The electrostatic binding of Na+ and K+ by fulvic acid in aqueous solution has been measured with cation electrodes at 25.00 °C ± 0.05. The binding equilibria were followed during the course of acid–base titrations, and have revealed distinct binding regions in the titration curves. In one of these regions Na+ is more strongly bound than is K+. The standard free energies of binding were 11.7 × 103 to 20.5 × 103 J/mol ± 2% for Na+, and 11.5 × 103 to 17.8 × 103 J/mol ± 1%, for K+.

Grounds for an Investigation. 1.A detailed examination of the acid-base equilibrium and the titration curves of amino-acids in aqueous solution has already been made (1), but data have hitherto been lacking for these solutions in the presence of formal-dehyde, i . e ., relating to the methylene derivatives of the amino-acids. 2.The addition of formaldehyde to amino-acids and the resulting increase in their acidity towards phenol phthalein (or thymol phthalein) constitutes the basis of the well-known Sørensen (“formol”) method (2) for their estimation by titration with soda; accordingly some knowledge of the acid-base constants and the titration curves of the systems in question is necessary before one can formulate the conditions (viz., the concentrations of formaldehyde and amino-acids, and the initial and final p h readings, etc.) under which this estimation may be carried out with maximum accuracy.

A computational study at correlated levels of theory is reported to address the structures and energetics of transient radicals produced by hydrogen atom abstraction from C-1, C-2, C-3, C-4, C-5, O-1, O-3, and O-5 positions in 2-deoxyribofuranose in the gas phase and in aqueous solution. In general, the carbon-centered radicals are found to be thermodynamically and kinetically more stable than the oxygen-centered ones. The most stable gas-phase radical, 2-deoxyribofuranos-5-yl (5), is produced by H-atom abstraction from C-5 and stabilized by an intramolecular hydrogen bond between the O-5 hydroxy group and O-1. The order of radical stabilities is altered in aqueous solution due to different solvation free energies. These prefer conformers that lack intramolecular hydrogen bonds and expose O-H bonds to the solvent. Carbon-centered deoxyribose radicals can undergo competitive dissociations by loss of H atoms, OH radical, or by ring cleavages that all require threshold dissociation or transition state energies >100 kJ mol-1. This points to largely non-specific dissociations of 2-deoxyribose radicals when produced by exothermic hydrogen atom abstraction from the saccharide molecule. Oxygen-centered 2-deoxyribose radicals show only marginal thermodynamic and kinetic stability and are expected to readily fragment upon formation.
