چکیده

Sulfonephthaleins and benzeins differ only in the presence of a sulfonic acid group in the former. In aqueous medium, both exhibit two color changes, one from yellow to the strongly colored acid form in strongly acid medium, and one from yellow to the strongly colored basic form. The indicator constants of the sulfonephthaleins are about the same as those of the corresponding benzeins. In the present paper the acid-base characteristics of both types of indicators in acetonitrile (AN) are described. The two benzeins studied in AN exhibit two color changes as in water, but the indicator constants in AN are quite different from those in water. In general, the sulfonephthaleins in AN exhibit three color changes which are in the order of decreasing pH: blue(red) to yellow, yellow to colorless, and colorless to red. The indicator changes corresponding to these color changes have been determined using the classical spectrophotometric method for evaluation of the ratio of concentrations of acid to basic forms of the indicators in mixtures of weak acids and their tetraalkylammonium salts. The paH of these mixtures was measured with a glass electrode. Denoting HI as the acid form of the indicator, I as the alkaline form, f' and JHI as their respective activity coefficients, the solvated proton as H+, and KdI as the dissociation constant of the acid form,

Electrogenerated chemiluminescence 73: acid–base properties, electrochemistry, and electrogenerated chemiluminescence of neutral red in acetonitrile

We characterized the acid–base properties, electrochemistry, and electrogenerated chemiluminescence (ECL) of neutral red in acetonitrile (MeCN). To determine the acid–base properties, the basic form (NR) of neutral red was prepared and titrated with anhydrous HClO4, yielding pKa = 6.5 in MeCN. NR showed three irreversible electrochemical oxidations and a one-electron reversible reduction. Howev...

The effect of acid modification of porcine mucin on its drug release and skin permeation properties in insulin transdermal patches

The study aimed at determining the effect of acid modified porcine mucin powder on the release and permeation of insulin in transdermal patches. Various batches of insulin patches were prepared by solvent casting method using polysorbate 80 as emulsifying agent and acid treated and untreated mucin powders as base. The patches were evaluated for their physical properties, folding endurance, moi...

Rapid preparation of nucleotides from acid-soluble pools by chromatography on silica, as exemplified with acid extracts of cultured cells.

A rapid technique (5-10 min) has been developed for fractionating nucleotides from base and nucleoside contaminants in acid extracts of cells, by adsorption to silica gels. Silica gels (1-mL bed volume) were washed with 5 mL of water then with 5 mL of acetonitrile/water (90/10 by vol). After applying 3-mL samples, adjusted to 900 mL/L acetonitrile content, we washed the gel with an additional 1...
