PREDICTION OF THE GIBBS ENERGY OF ION TRANSFER ACROSS THE WATER NITROBENZENE INTERFACE USING 3 NEW TOPOLOGICAL INDEXES

Correlation analysis of the standard Gibbs energy for a series of tetraalkylammonium ions, protonated substituted ethylenediamine derivatives and protonated aromatic amine derivatives using three new topological indices Ax1, Ax2 and Ax has been studied. T

NEW TOPOLOGICAL INDEX AND PREDICTION OF PHASE-TRANSFER ENERGY FOR PROTONATED AMINES AND TETRAALKYLAMINES IONS

The applications of new topological indices A(x1)-A(x3) suggested in our laboratory for the prediction of Gibbs energy values of phase transfer (water to nitrobenzene) of amine ions are described with satisfactory results. Multiple regression analysis and neural network were employed simultaneously in this study.

Study of ionizable drugs transfer across the water/1,2-dichloroethane interface with phase volume ratio equal to unity using a three-electrode system

The electrochemical behavior of ionizable drugs (Amitriptyline, Diphenhydramine and Trihexyphenedyl) at the water/1,2-dichloroethane interface with the phase volume ratio (r = V-o/V-w) equal to 1 are investigated by cyclic voltammetry. The system is composed of an aqueous droplet supported at an Ag/AgCl disk electrode and it was covered with an organic solution. In this manner, a conventional three-electrode potentiostat can be used to study the ionizable drugs transfer process at a liquid/liquid interface. Physicochemical parameters such as the formal transfer potential, the Gibbs energy of transfer and the standard partition coefficients of the ionized forms of these drugs can be evaluated from cyclic voltammograms obtained. The obtained results have been summarized in ionic partition diagrams, which are a useful tool for predicting and interpreting the transfer mechanisms of ionizable drugs at the liquid/liquid interfaces and biological membranes.

Thermodynamical study on pressure-induced compatibility in UCST polymer-containing mixtures

The present calculations were performed on the basis of the Sanchez-Lacombe lattice fluid theory and the new combinatorial rules for block copolymer according to the experimental results on the pressure-induced compatibility in poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) and poly(ethylene oxide-b-dimethylsiloxane) (P(EO-b-DMS)) mixtures with UCST behavior. The study on enthalpy, combinatorial entropy, vacancy entropy and Gibbs energy upon mixture shows that Sanchez-Lacombe fluid theory and the new combinatorial rules could describe the pressure-induced compatibility (PIC) of polymer mixtures with UCST behavior well.

Theoretical representation of shear and pressure influence on the phase separation behavior of PVME/PS mixture

In the framework of lattice fluid model, the Gibbs energy and equation of state are derived by introducing the energy (E-s) stored during flow for polymer blends under shear. From the calculation of the spinodal of poly(vinyl methyl ether) (PVME) and polystyrene (PS) mixtures, we have found the influence of E., an equation of state in pure component is inappreciable, but it is appreciable in the mixture. However, the effect of E, on phase separation behavior is extremely striking. In the calculation of spinodal for the PVME/PS system, a thin, long and banana miscibility gap generated by shear is seen beside the miscibility gap with lower critical solution temperature. Meanwhile, a binodal coalescence of upper and lower miscibility gaps is occurred. The three points of the three-phase equilibrium are forecasted. The shear rate dependence of cloud point temperature at a certain composition is discussed. The calculated results are acceptable compared with the experiment values obtained by Higgins et at. However, the maximum positive shift and the minimum negative shift of cloud point temperature guessed by Higgins are not obtained, Furthermore, the combining effects of pressure and shear on spinodal shift are predicted.

ELECTROCHEMICAL STUDY OF ISOPOLY AND HETEROPOLY ANION TRANSFER ACROSS THE WATER NITROBENZENE INTERFACE .2. VANADIUM-CONTAINING HETEROPOLYTUNGSTATE ANIONS

The electrochemical transfer behaviour of vanadium-containing heteropolytungstate anions [PW12-xVxO40]((3+r)-) (x = 1-4) across the water \nitrobenzene interface has been investigated by cyclic voltammetry and chronopotentiometry with cyclic linear current scanning. The transfer of PW11V1O404-, HPW10V2O404-, H2PW10V2O403-, H3PW9V3O403- and H4PW8V4O(40)(3-) across the water \nitrobenzene interface can be observed within the potential window. The effects were observed of pH in the water phase on the transfer behaviour and the formation of vanadium-containing heteropolytungstate anions in solution. Heteropolytungstate anions become more stable due to their involving the vanadium atom. The degree of protonation and the dissociation constant of the trivalent vanadium-containing heteropolytungstate anion of protonation increase with increasing vanadium content. The transfer processes are diffusion-controlled The standard transfer potential, the standard Gibbs energy and the dissociation constant for vanadium-containing heteropolytungstate anions have been obtained and the transfer mechanisms are discussed.

Electrochemical Study of the Transfer of Bis-1:11 Molybdosilicate Heteropolyanion with Dysprosium across the Liquid/Liquid Interface

The transfer of bis-1:11 molybdosilicate heteropolyanion with dysprosium across the water/nitrobenzene interface has been investigated by chronopotentiometry with linear current scanning and cyclic voltammetry. The strandard transfer potential and Gibbs energy estimated from cyclic voltammetry were 0.102V and -39.5kJ.mol(-1), respectively. The kinetic parameters of the transfer were determinated by chronopotentiometry with the linear current scanning.
