Kinetic and spectroscopic studies have been carried out in aqueous solution on the formation (from Fe(CN)5OH23−) and dissociation of pentacyanoferrate(II) complexes containing 1-(4-pyridyl)pyridinium and the neutral, protonated, and N-methylated forms of 4,4′-bipyridine (BPY), 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethane (BPA), and trans-1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethylene (BPE). The pH dependences of the formation kinetics have been analyzed in terms of the specific rate and acid dissociation constants for these ligands. The rate constants (25.0 °C, I = 0.10 M) for the formation of the dinuclear complexes (NC)5FeLFe(CN)56− have been determined for BPY (50 M−1 s−1), BPA (66 M−1 s−1), BPE (95 M−1 s−1), and pyrazine (10 M−1 s−1), and are compared with the respective rate constants for the formation of (NC)5FeLCo(NH3)5. The relationships between the formation rate constants and the size of the ligand, the number of donor sites, and the magnitude and position of charges on the ligand are discussed in terms of an ion-pair dissociative mechanism. Keywords: pentacyanoferrate(II) complexes, N-heterocycles, ligand substitution, kinetics.

We propose an approach for monitoring the concentration of dissociated carboxylic acid species in dilute aqueous solution. The dissociated acid species are quantified employing inline Raman spectroscopy in combination with indirect hard modeling (IHM) and multivariate curve resolution (MCR). We introduce two different titration-based hard model (HM) calibration procedures for a single mono- or polyprotic acid in water with well-known (method A) or unknown (method B) acid dissociation constants p Ka. In both methods, spectra of only one acid species in water are prepared for each acid species. These spectra are used for the construction of HMs. For method A, the HMs are calibrated with calculated ideal dissociation equilibria. For method B, we estimate p Ka values by fitting ideal acid dissociation equilibria to acid peak areas that are obtained from a spectral HM. The HM in turn is constructed on the basis of MCR data. Thus, method B on the basis of IHM is independent of a priori known p K a values, but instead provides them as part of the calibration procedure. As a detailed example, we analyze itaconic acid in aqueous solution. For all acid species and water, we obtain low HM errors of < 2.87 × 10−4mol mol−1 in the cases of both methods A and B. With only four calibration samples, IHM yields more accurate results than partial least squares regression. Furthermore, we apply our approach to formic, acetic, and citric acid in water, thereby verifying its generalizability as a process analytical technology for quantitative monitoring of processes containing carboxylic acids.

Preliminary saturation of 2.6 nm palladium nanoparticles with hydrogen accelerates the reduction of Fe(CN)63− ions in aqueous solution three to four-fold. An analytical equation was derived describing the hydrogen saturation of palladium nanoparticles and the dependence of their catalytic activity on the hydrogen content in the metal. The specific rate constants of reduction do not depend on the content of palladium nanoparticles in the solution. A change in the temperature and pH or stirring of the solution do not affect the rate of catalytic reaction. Approaches to optimization of palladium-catalyzed reactions involving hydrogen are substantiated.

A water-soluble octabromoporphyrin 2,3,7,8,12,13,17,18-octabromo-5,10,15,20-tetrakis(1-methylpyridinium-4-yl)porphyrin (H2(OBTMPyP)4+), H2P4+) and its lithium complex, Li(OBTMPyP)3+ , (LiP3+) , transferred quantitatively to an ionic liquid (IL), 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate (BMIM+PF6-) with no addition of other counter ions. The acid-dissociation constants of H2(OBTMPyP)4+ between aqueous and BMIM+PF6- phases were determined spectrophotometrically and found to be 10-7.67 and 10-11.33 at I = 0.1 for K a1,IL = [H+]aq[HP3+]IL/[H2P4+]IL and K a2,IL = [H+]aq[P2+]IL/[HP3+]IL , respectively. Since the acid-dissociation constants involve the partition of H2(OBTMPyP)4+ between aqueous and IL phases, the determined values are ten times as low as those observed in aqueous solution. The transfer equilibrium constants of LiP3+ and NaP3+ to IL defined by K MP,IL = [MP3+]IL/[M+]aq[P2+]IL (M = Li+ or Na+) were found to be 104.83 and 101.31 for K LiP,IL and KNaP,IL , respectively. LiP3+ transferred selectively in the presence of Na+ (K LiP,IL /K NaP,IL = 103.52) to IL phase through an ion-exchange mechanism between BMIM+PF6- and Li(OBTMPyP)3+ .

The acid dissociation constants for alternariol monomethyl ether (AME), altertoxin-I (ATX-I), and alternariol (AOH), three of the Alternaria alternata genus mycotoxins, are estimated through conventional UV-VIS spectroscopic studies at different pH values. Experimental variations of absorbance as a function of pH at a given wavelength were fitted by using the exact equations that describe the systems studied. Good agreement between the experimental absorbance vs. pH plots and the curves generated by the fitting process was found. A comparison between the acidic constants for the first step of dissociation of these mycotoxins and the value for the acidic constant of phenol is discussed by assuming that phenolic structures are responsible for the acidity of these mycotoxins.Key words: mycotoxins, alternariol monomethyl ether, altertoxin-I, alternariol, acidic constants.
