Individual solvation numbers around the nickel(II) ion have been determined by titration Raman spectroscopy in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) and N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMA) mixtures at 298 K. The in-plane bending vibration (delta(O=C-N)) of DMF and the stretching vibration (v(N-CH3)) of DMA were used in the present analysis. These Raman bands of solvent molecules shift to higher frequencies upon ...

Potassium and lithium salts of anionic B-phenylborataanthracenes, whose phenyl groups were fixed in a coplanar fashion, were synthesized. These compounds exhibited solvent-separated ion pair structures both in the crystalline state and in solution. Planarization of the phenyl moiety had a remarkable impact on the photophysical properties, such as the red-shifted absorption and intense fluoresce...

Room-temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) have been shown to have a significant effect on the redox potentials of compounds such as 1,4-dinitrobenzene (DNB), which can be reduced in two one-electron steps. The most noticeable effect is that the two one-electron waves in acetonitrile collapsed to a single two-electron wave in a RTIL such as butylmethyl imidazolium-BF4 (BMImBF4). In order to probe t...

In this work, the interactions between a representative imidazolium-based ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([BMIM][BF4]) and acetonitrile (CH3CN) were investigated in detail using attenuated total reflection infrared spectroscopy (ATR-IR), hydrogen nuclear magnetic resonance ((1)H NMR), and density functional theory calculations. The main conclusions are: (1) a number ...

The detailed aggregation behavior of sodiumdodecyl sulfate (SDS) in tetrahydrofuran (Tf)-water (W) and formamide (Fa)-water (W) media at varied volume percent compositions has been investigated. Surface tension (ST), conductance (Cond), viscosity (Visc), isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and small angle neutron scattering (SANS) were used in this study. Th...

Here it was investigated how oligonucleotide retention and selectivity factors are affected by electrostatic non-electrostatic interactions in ion pair chromatography. A framework derived describing depends on the potential generated ion-pair reagent concentration, co-solvent volume fraction, charge difference between analytes, temperature. Isocratic experiments verified that, separation proble...

The kinetics and mechanism of the photodeprotection and rearrangement reactions for the pHP phototrigger compounds p-hydroxyphenacyl diethyl phosphate (HPDP) and diphenyl phosphate (HPPP) were studied using transient absorption (TA) and picosecond time-resolved resonance Raman (ps-TR(3)) spectroscopy. TA spectroscopy was employed to detect the dynamics of the triplet precursor decay as well as ...
