The present study deals with experiments so as to highlight the solute (drug albendazole) – solvent ( water) interactions and related thermodynamic modifications in presence of the hydrotropic agent nicotinamide at different temperatures T (= 298.15 to 313.15)K. Density and conductivity values of albendazole have been determined in water in (0.08 to 0.98) mol dm-3 aqueous solutions of nicotinam...

Urban-type PM 2.5-fraction aerosol samples were collected and samples of pure atmospheric humic-like substances (HULIS) were isolated from them. Atmospheric concentrations of organic carbon (OC), water soluble organic carbon (WSOC) and HULIS were determined, and UV/Vis spectroscopic properties, solubility and conductivity of HULIS in aqueous samples were investigated. Atmospheric concentrations...

The kinetics; evolution of molar mass; solution conductivity, sigma; intrinsic viscosity; and average composition drift; and distribution were determined by monitoring the synthesis of copolymeric polycations of acrylamide (Am) and [2-(acryloyloxy)ethyl]-trimethylammonium chloride (Q9). The quantitative relationship between diminishing sigma and charged co-monomers incorporation was monitored f...

A series of 18-membered macrocyclic complexes of metal Ni(II) of the type [M(H2Cy )] have been synthesized and characterized on the basis of spectral, magnetic and conductivity studies. The macrocyclic ligands H 4 Cy1-4 (Fig. 1) are tetrabasic having four imido hydrogen but behave in a dibasic manner. Out of eight nitrogens, four imido and four imino, ligands utilize four imido nitrogens for sq...

Thermal conductivity of molten alkali halides and their mixtures with common anions is measured as a function of temperature. Use is made of the most reliable method of coaxial cylinders made of platinum, with radiation heat transfer being taken into account. It is found to vary directly with temperature. Expressions for its temperature dependence are derived from the experimental observations....

Poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) matrix has been chemically doped (redox doping) by ferric chloride (FeCl3) with different molar concentrations to get P3HT–FeCl3 charge-transfer complexes. The effect of redox doping on photo-physical, structural, and morphological properties and dc electrical conductivity of P3HT matrices has been examined. The dc conductivity has been measured on films of pristin...

Ionically cross-linked polyelectrolyte complexes (PECs) of anionic poly(sodium 4-styrene sulfonate) (PSS) and cationic poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDADMAC), xPSS.(1-x)PDADMAC, with molar fractions x ranging from 0.30 to 0.70, were prepared and subsequently dried. The PEC samples were analyzed by differential scanning calorimetry, and the ionic conductivity sigmadc of the samples was...

A set of borophosphate glasses doped with alkali and transition metal (TM) ions have been synthesized. The were carried through; annealing, XRD, density, DC conductivity studies. Molar volume density varied nonlinearly. High temperature activation energy is analysed taking into consideration Mott’s SPH model. low electrical was by Mott Greaves VRH. Several polaron hopping related parameters at ...

The extraction and separation of metal ions in the lanthanide series using the liquid-liquid extraction (LLX) technique poses a major challenge due to the chemical similarities of the metals and hence interest exists in devising a technique to improve the separation factor. In this work, sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate (AOT) is explored for improved organic phase conductivity to aid the...

The reaction between Ni(II), Co(II), cr(III) bitrates, Ni(II) chloride and ambidentate a-keto ylide benzoylmethylenetriphenylphosphine (BPPY) resulted in isolation of [Ni(BPPY)2](NO3)2.2H2O, [Ni(BPPY)2]Cl2, [Co(BPPY)2](NO3)2 and [Cr(BPPY)3](NO<sub...
