Study on Phenol Compounds Using Multiple Regression and Neural Network Methods

In this paper, the molecular connectivity indices and the electronic charge parameters of forty-eight phenol compounds nave been calculated. and applied for studying the relationship between partition coefficients and structure of phenol compounds. The results demonstrate that the properties of compounds can be described better with selective parameters, and the results obtained by neural network are superior to that by multiplle regression.

Preparation, structure and some physical properties of scheelite-related AgLnMo(2)O(8) compounds

We present the synthesis of the AgLnMo(2)O(8) oxides with Ln = La-Nd, Sm, Gd, Tb and Y. These compounds represent a scheelite-related structure type characterized by MoO42- tetrahedrons. The IR spectra show three transmittance bands in the region of 1000-400 cm(-1), which correspond respectively to the nu(1), nu(2), and nu(3) modes of the tetrahedral MoO42- groups. All of AgLnMo(2)O(8) are insulator materials at room temperature. The temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibilities of AgLnMo(2)O(8) (Ln = Ce-Nd, Sm, Gd, Tb) show Curie-Weiss Law behaviors with two anomalies occurring at low temperature, whereas AgLaMo2O8 and AgYMo2O8 both exhibit diamagnetic properties as expected. The magnetic moments at room temperature fit very well with those corresponding to rare earth sesquioxides. This suggests that rare earth ions exist in +3 oxidation state in all AgLnMo(2)O(8) compounds.

STRUCTURE-PROPERTY RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN HALF-WAVE POTENTIALS OF ORGANIC-COMPOUNDS AND THEIR TOPOLOGY

A significant correlation was found between half-wave potentials of organic compounds and their topological indices, A(x1), A(x2), and A(x3). The simplicity of calculation of the index from the connectivity in the molecular skeleton, together with the significant correlation, indicates its practical value. Good results have been obtained by using them to predict the half-wave potentials of some organic compounds.

SEMICONDUCTOR TO METAL TRANSITION IN LN(2)MO(3)O(9) COMPOUNDS

Ln(2)Mo(3)O(12) and Ce2Mo3O12.25 are reduced by hydrogen yielding Mo4+ oxides of the formula Ln(2)Mo(3)O(9) (Ln = La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Gd and Dy). The new compound Ce2Mo3O9 has the same structure as other Ln(2)Mo(3)O(9) compounds. All of the products are single phase materials and crystallize in a tetragonal scheelite type structure with Mo2O6 clusters. The IR spectra of the Ln(2)Mo(3)O(9) oxides show two absorption bands. These compounds are black n-type semiconductors, and exhibit Curie-Weiss Law behavior from 100K to 250K. Temperature dependence of the electrical properties of these compounds were measured for the first time, and a semiconductor-metal transition was found at about 250 degrees C.

EXPERT-SYSTEM FOR ELUCIDATION OF STRUCTURES OF ORGANIC-COMPOUNDS

An expert system for the elucidation of the structures of organic compounds-ESESOC-II has been designed. It is composed of three parts: spectroscopic data analysis, structure generator, and evaluation of the candidate structures. The heart of ESESOC is the structure generator, as an integral part, which accepts the specific types of information, e.g. molecular formulae, substructure constraints, and produces an exhaustive and irredundant list of candidate structures. The scheme for the structural generation is given, in which the depth-first search strategy is used to fill the bonding adjacency matrix (BAM) and a new method is introduced to remove the duplicates.

GAS-PHASE ION-MOLECULE REACTIONS OF BUCKMINSTERFULLERENE C-60 WITH SOME SMALL ORGANIC-COMPOUNDS IN MASS-SPECTROMETER

In chemical ionization mass spectrometry (CIMS) gas phase C-60(+) or C-60 can react with fragment ions from three chloromethane and four multichloroethane molecular ions via ion-molecule reactions. A dozen of gas-phase adduct ions of C-60 are observed, and most of them contain chlorine atoms. The results of the comparison and analysis show that the relative intensities of adductions are not directly proportional to the corresponding fragment ions in the MS of reagents,which implies that some fragment ions containing radicals are more reactive with C-60(+) or C-60. This indicates that the alkene-like C-60(+) or C-60 can act as a radical sponge in addition reactions.

CHEMICAL-IONIZATION MASS-SPECTROMETRY OF SOME NITRO-CONTAINING BIFUNCTIONAL AROMATIC-COMPOUNDS - LOCATION OF PROTONATION SITE

It is found that the nitro substituent of some aromatic bifunctional compounds shows unusual reactivity towards protonation. In the chemical ionization mass spectra of nitrobenzoic acids and their esters and amides, and of nitrophenols and their ethers, protonations on the carboxyl, ester, amide, hydroxyl or alkoxyl groups are highly suppressed by that on the nitro group. As a result, fragmentations based on protonation on these groups unexpectedly become negligible. Ortho effects were observed for all the ortho isomers where the initial protonation on the nitro group is followed by an intramolecular proton transfer reaction, which leads to the expected 'normal' fragmentations. Protonation on the nitro substituent is much more favourable in energy than on any of the other substituents. The interaction of the two substituents through the conjugating benzene ring is found to be responsible for this 'unfair' competitive protonation. The electron-attracting nitro group strongly destabilizes the MH+ ions formed through protonation on the other substituent; although the COR (R = OH, OMe, OEt, NH2) groups are also electron-withdrawing, their effects are weaker than that of NO2; thus protonation on the latter group produces more-stable MH+ ions. On the other hand, an electron-releasing group OR (R = H, Me, Et) stabilizes the nitro-protonated species; the stronger the electron-donating effect of this group the more stable the nitro-protonated ions.

ELECTROCATALYTIC OXIDATION AND AMPEROMETRIC DETERMINATION OF SULFHYDRYL COMPOUNDS AT A COPPER HEXACYANOFERRATE FILM GLASSY-CARBON ELECTRODE IN LIQUID-CHROMATOGRAPHY

Electrocatalytic oxidation of sulfhydryl compounds was effective on a copper hexacyanoferrate (CuHCF) film glassy carbon electrode, at a significantly reduced overpotential (0.55 to 0.65 V) and for a broader pH range (2.0 to 7.0). The electrocatalysis was

STUDY ON STRUCTURE-ACTIVITY-RELATIONSHIPS OF ORGANIC-COMPOUNDS - 3 NEW TOPOLOGICAL INDEXES AND THEIR APPLICATIONS

In this paper, three new topological indices, A(x1), A(x2), and A(x3), have been developed for use in multivariate analysis in structure-property relationship (SPR) and structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies. Good results have been obtained by using them to predict the physical and chemical properties and biological activities of some organic compounds.

ELECTROCATALYSIS AND DETERMINATION OF HYDRAZINE COMPOUNDS IN LIQUID-CHROMATOGRAPHY AT A MIXED-VALENT COBALT OXIDE CYANOCOBALTATE FILM ELECTRODE

A glassy carbon electrode coated with an electrodeposited film of mixed-valent cobalt oxide/cyanocobaltate (Co-O/CN-Co) enabled hydrazine compounds to be catalytically oxidized at the greatly reduced overpotential and in a wide operational pH range (pH 2.0-7.0). Electrocatalytic activity at the Co-O/CN-Co modified electrode was evaluated with respect to solution pH, film thickness, supporting electrolyte ions, potential scan rate, operating potential, concentration dependence and other variables. The Co-O/CN-Co film electrode was completely compatible with a conventional reversed-phase liquid chromatographic (RP-LC) system. Practical RP-LC amperometric detection (RP-LCEC) of hydrazines was performed. A dynamic linear response range over three orders of magnitude and a detection limit at the pmol level were readily obtained. The Co-O/CN-CO film electrode exhibited excellent electrocatalytic stability in the flowing streams.

The test is performed on various types of organophosphorus compounds. The results demonstrate that the GAI possesses a good correlation with chromatographic properties.

RAMAN-SPECTROSCOPIC STUDY OF THE PEROVSKITE LAYER STRUCTURE COMPOUNDS - [N-CNH2N+1NH3]2ZNCL4

The C-H stretching, C-H bending, C-C stretching and the low-frequency vibrational regions have been investigated by Raman spectroscopy for [n-CnH2n+1NH3]2ZnCl4 with n = 7-12, 16. The frequencies and relative intensities are related to the length of the carbon chain in the molecules and present the odd-even effect of the carbon atom numbers in the chains. Some changes in the spectra are interpreted in terms of the different molecular packing.
