The complexation reaction between 1,13-bis(8-quinolyl)-1,4,7,10,13-pentaoxatridecane (Kryptofix5) ligand with Zn2+, Ni2+, Co2+, Pb2+, Mn2+ and Cu2+ ions were studied conductometrically in different AcetoNitrile-NitroMethane (AN-NM) and AcetoNitrile-Methanol (AN-MeOH) mixtures. The formation constants of the resulting...

The ligand substitution reaction of [Co(an)6]2+ (an = acetonitrile) with 1,1,3,3-tetramethylurea (TMU) in the noncoordinating solvent, nitromethane, was spectrophotometrically investigated by titration. The observed spectral changes were analyzed using a model with the four steps of ligand substitution. The component complexes involved in the substitution were found to be 6-coordinate [Co(an)6]...

We present a new microencapsulated catalyst and report its use in a tandem multicatalyst reaction. Using an encapsulation technique, we developed an active, site-isolated amine catalyst that is capable of catalyzing the addition of nitromethane to an aldehyde. When a second Lewis acid catalyst is added, the nitroalkene intermediate is trapped and converted to the corresponding Michael adduct. W...

Nitrofurantoin is presently used as an antibacterial agent for the urinary tract of both man and animals. A new, quantitative procedure for the determination of this drug in urine consistsof direct extraction of the nonionized form of the drug by the use of nitromethane, addition of an alkaline reagent to the extract to produce a visible color, and determination of the nitrofurantoin concentrat...

Four solvates of an antifungal drug, griseofulvin (GF), were discovered. All the solvates were characterized by differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis, and their crystal structures were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The solvents that form the solvates are acetonitrile, nitromethane and nitroethane (2:1 and 1:1). It was found that all the solvates lose th...

These experiments and complementary electronic structure calculations seek to probe the early dissociation dynamics of N2O4 excited in the strong 186 nm ultraviolet absorption band. Laser photons of 199.7, 203, and 205 nm are used to dissociate N2O4 molecules expanded in a free jet. The emission from the dissociating molecules is dispersed in a spectrometer and collected with an optical multich...

a proton nmr method for the drtermination of salvation numbers of alkaline earth cations with hexamethyl phosphoramide (hmpa) in nitromethane (nm) as diluents is described. the method is based on monitoring the resonance frequency of hmpa protons as a function of hmpa / metal ion molar ratio at constant metalion concentration. the average salvation number of cations,  , at any hmpa / metal ion ...

Femtosecond time-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy is used to probe the decay channels of iodide-nitromethane (I-·CH3NO2) binary clusters photoexcited at 3.56 eV, near the vertical detachment energy (VDE) of the cluster. The production of I- is observed, and its photoelectron signal exhibits a mono-exponential rise time of 21 ± 1 ps. Previous work has shown that excitation near the VDE of the...
