In this study, the static and dynamic electronic polarizability of benzonitrile is reported. This property was determined using refraction index measurements of neat benzonitrile and CCl4, THF, C6H12 and CH3CN diluted solutions. The real refractive index of pure benzonitrile was obtained by refractometry, FTIR transmission spectroscopy and Kramers-Krönig transform. These results indicate that t...

We have studied the effect of weak solute-solvent attractions on the solvation of nonpolar molecules in water at ambient conditions using an extension and improved parameterization of the theory of solvation due to Lum, Chandler, and Weeks [J. Phys. Chem. B 1999, 103, 4570]. With a reasonable strength of alkanewater interactions, an accurate prediction of the alkane-water interfacial tension is...

equilibria of the reaction of molybdenum(vi) with l-aspartic acid (asp) and l- glutamic acid(glu) have been studied by spectrophotometric measurements in mixed solvent systems at an ionicstrength of 0.2 mol/dm3 sodium perchlorate, employed (15, 20, 25, 30± 0.1°c) at ph ranges of 3.2to 5.5 with a high ratio of ligand to metal. the stability constants of the complexes and theresulting free energy...

BACKGROUND The study was aimed at investigating the effect of various solvents on the absorption spectra of Neutral Red, a dye belonging to the quinone-imine class of dyes. The solvents chosen for the study were water, ethanol, acetonitrile, acetone, propan-1-ol, chloroform, nitrobenzene, ethyleneglycol, acetic acid, DMSO and DMF. RESULTS The results have shown that the absorption maxima of d...

In this study, the effect of solvents, HCl and aqua regia at room temperature, on the etching behavior of ITO film was investigated. A higher etching rate was obtained in aqua regia than in HCl. However, via XPS analysis, it was found that there was more surface residual byproduct in aqua regia etchant than in HCl. The surface concentration (ratio of chlorine to indium) was 7.2 and 0.38 in aqua...

The spectrophotometric method was used to determine the mechanism of chiral interactions between a known chiral selector, tert-butyl carbamoylated quinine (t-BuCQN), and N-derivative amino acids (DNB-Leu). Results obtained on binding constants, free energy of binding (DeltaG), and difference in free energy of binding (DeltaDeltaG) values seem to suggest that there are three possible types of in...

Carvedilol (CRV) is an important medicament for heart arrhythmia. The aim of this work was the interpretation of its vibrational spectra with consideration on the solvent effect. Infrared and Raman spectra were recorded in solid state as well in solution. The experimental spectra were evaluated using DFT quantum chemical calculations computing the optimized structure, atomic net charges, vibrat...

World wine industry transforms 10% 25% of raw grapes into residues, mainly represented by lees, grape marcs, seeds and stems. These byproducts are a rich source of polyphenols and therefore they can be used to produce new added value products. The aim of this work was to determine the best process conditions (treatment time, % of ethanol and pH of the solvent) during solid-liquid extraction of ...

This study sought to investigate the degradation mechanism of 4-methacryloyloxy ethyl trimellitic acid, 4-MET, which is commonly used as an acidic monomer in solvated self-etching primers or one-step bonding agents. To this end, we examined the effects of solvent type used--such as ethanol, methanol, and acetone--on the degradation mechanism of 4-MET by using the 13C NMR technique. The degradat...
