Salicylic acid forms a 1:1 complex with boric acid, the reaction involving both the fully protonated ligand, and the salicylate ion. The kinetics of this reaction have been studied by the stopped-flow method. The stability constant for the reaction involving salicylate ion has been calculated from measurements of the absorbances of solutions at equilibrium and is the same as that obtained from the kinetic data. The kinetic results at pH values in the range 3.45–4.63 suggest that, when salicylic acid is the ligand, the complex is formed in two steps. A similar process may also occur with salicylate ions.

ABSTRACT Because of their cell surface locations, the outer membrane c-type cytochromes MtrC and OmcA of Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 have been suggested to be the terminal reductases for a range of redox-reactive metals that form poorly soluble solids or that do not readily cross the outer membrane. In this work, we determined the kinetics of reduction of a series of Fe(III) complexes with citrate, nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA), and EDTA by MtrC and OmcA using a stopped-flow technique in combination with theoretical computation methods. Stopped-flow kinetic data showed that the reaction proceeded in two stages, a fast stage that was completed in less than 1 s, followed by a second, relatively slower stage. For a given complex, electron transfer by MtrC was faster than that by OmcA. For a given cytochrome, the reaction was completed in the order Fe-EDTA > Fe-NTA > Fe-citrate. The kinetic data could be modeled by two parallel second-order bimolecular redox reactions with second-order rate constants ranging from 0.872 μM−1 s−1 for the reaction between MtrC and the Fe-EDTA complex to 0.012 μM−1 s−1 for the reaction between OmcA and Fe-citrate. The biphasic reaction kinetics was attributed to redox potential differences among the heme groups or redox site heterogeneity within the cytochromes. The results of redox potential and reorganization energy calculations showed that the reaction rate was influenced mostly by the relatively large reorganization energy. The results demonstrate that ligand complexation plays an important role in microbial dissimilatory reduction and mineral transformation of iron, as well as other redox-sensitive metal species in nature.

The effect of pH changes and the presence of ligands on the uptake of lead and cadmium ions by three types of clay mineral (kaolinite, illite and montmorillonite) has been investigated. ��� In the absence of ligands, metal ion adsorption increases gradually with increasing pH until a threshold pH value is exceeded, whereupon total precipitation/sorption (attributed to formation of hydroxy species) occurs. With ligands present, the threshold point tends to shift to higher pH values, the magnitude of the effect depending on the stability of the metal complex formed. Adsorption of cationic metal complexes is subject to competition from charged protonated ligand species; anionic complexes are not sorbed.

Farmers often mix fertilizers, pesticides and other agricultural chemicals together in a spray tank to allow applications of multiple products in a single spray. Because polyborate-based B fertilizers may increase solution pH, adding B to tank-mixed sprays may impair the stability and efficacy of alkalinity-sensitive pesticides and growth regulators if an acidifier is not included. We conducted a laboratory experiment to determine the influence of 10 commercial B fertilizer sources in factorial combination with B concentrations ranging from 0 to 4 lb/100 gal (4.8 g·L-1) on solution pH values of distilled water and two natural waters. Two boric acid-based compounds produced acidic reactions relative to background water pH at all tested B concentrations. Their pH responses were influenced by initial water composition. Seven B products produced moderately to strongly alkaline reactions at all but the highest B concentration, regardless of the form of B (polyborate vs. boric acid) initially present in the formulated products. One polyborate product formulated with an acidifier showed intermediate pH behavior. The dependence of solution pH on B rate of the polyborate-containing products was identical in all three waters. The maximum pH values generated by all products occurred in the B concentration range <0.1 to 0.25 lb/100 gal (0.12 to 0.3 g·L-1). Solution pH values declined with increasing B concentration above this range. The pH responses qualitatively conformed to known aqueous chemical behavior of B and the product additives. The complexity of the interaction between initial water chemistry, B concentration, and B fertilizer product reinforces the need to measure the pH of B-amended spray water before adding pH-sensitive compounds.

The objective of this study was to investigate the stability and degradation kinetics of N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac). The pH of the solution strongly influenced the stability of Neu5Ac, which was more stable at neutral pH and low temperatures. Here, we provide detailed information on the degradation kinetics of Neu5Ac at different pH values (1.0, 2.0, 11.0 and 12.0) and temperatures (60, 70, 80 and 90 °C). The study of the degradation of Neu5Ac under strongly acidic conditions (pH 1.0–2.0) is highly pertinent for the hydrolysis of polysialic acid. The degradation kinetics of alkaline deacetylation were also studied. Neu5Ac was highly stable at pH 3.0–10.0, even at high temperature, but the addition of H2O2 greatly reduced its stability at pH 5.0, 7.0 and 9.0. Although Neu5Ac has a number of applications in products of everyday life, there are no reports of rigorous shelf-life studies. This research provides kinetic data that can be used to predict product shelf lives at different temperatures and pH values.

Salicylate ions form 1:1 complexes with boric acid. The kinetics of these reactions have been studied by the stopped-flow method and stability constants have been calculated from absorption measurements on the solutions at equilibrium. Temperature studies of the rates of reaction of boric acid and unsubstituted salicylate ions at pH 5.29 have been carried out. The data correlate well with the Arrhenius equation.

SummaryThe bone-seeking 99mTc-Sn-pyrophosphate compound (compound A) was diluted both in vitro and in vivo and proved to be unstable both in vitro and in vivo. However, stability was much better in vivo than in vitro and thus the in vitro stability of compound A after dilution in various mediums could be followed up by a consecutive evaluation of the in vivo distribution in the rat. After dilution in neutral normal saline compound A is metastable and after a short half-life it is transformed into the other 99mTc-Sn-pyrophosphate compound A is metastable and after a short half-life in bone but in the kidneys. After dilution in normal saline of low pH and in buffering solutions the stability of compound A is increased. In human plasma compound A is relatively stable but not in plasma water. When compound B is formed in a buffering solution, uptake in the kidneys and excretion in urine is lowered and blood concentration increased.It is assumed that the association of protons to compound A will increase its stability at low concentrations while that to compound B will lead to a strong protein bond in plasma. It is concluded that compound A will not be stable in vivo because of a lack of stability in the extravascular space, and that the protein bond in plasma will be a measure of its in vivo stability.

SummaryThe kinetic data of two different 99mTc-Sn-pyrophosphate compounds (compound A and B) were evaluated in non-adult rats. Only compound A concentrated in bone. Both compounds dispersed rapidly in the intravascular as well as the extravascular space. The plasma protein bond of both compounds increased with time after injection and impaired both the renal clearance of both compounds and the bone clearance of compound A. The renal clearance of both compounds was somewhat above that of 5 1Cr-EDTA. It is concluded that compound A and B is mainly excreted by glomerular filtration. About one fourth of the glomerular filtrate of compound B is reabsorbed and accumulated by the tubular cells.

The course of the conversion of methanol with water vapour was followed on a low-temperature Cu-Zn-Cr-Al catalyst at pressures of 0.2 and 0.6 MPa. The kinetic data were evaluated together with those obtained at 0.1 MPa and the following equation for the reaction kinetics at the given conditions was derived: r = [p(CH3OH)p(H2O)]0.5[p(H2)]-1.3.

AbstractIn this work, we investigated the effects of the vacuum pumping on both the loading efficiencies and the release kinetics of halloysite nanotubes filled with drug molecules dissolved in ethanol. As model drugs, salicylic acid and sodium diclofenac were selected. For comparison, the loading of the drug molecules was conducted on platy kaolinite to explore the key role of the hollow tubular morphology on the filling mechanism of halloysite. The effects of the pressure conditions used in the loading protocol were interpreted and discussed on the basis of the thermodynamic results provided by Knudsen thermogravimetry, which demonstrated the ethanol confinement inside the halloysite cavity. Several techniques (TEM, FTIR spectroscopy, DLS and $$\zeta$$ ζ -potential experiments) were employed to characterize the drug filled nanoclays. Besides, release kinetics of the drugs were studied and interpreted according to the loading mechanism. This work represents a further step for the development of nanotubular carriers with tunable release feature based on the loading protocol and drug localization into the carrier. Graphic abstract The filling efficiency of halloysite nanotubes is enhanced by the reduction of the pressure conditions used in the loading protocol.
