Inorganic compounds, determination

A challenging task in material science as well as in pharmaceutical research is to custom tailor a compound s properties. George S. Hammond stated that the most fundamental and lasting objective of synthesis is not production of new compounds, but production of properties (Norris Award Lecture, 1968). The molecular structure of an organic or inorganic compound determines its properties. Nevertheless, methods for the direct prediction of a compound s properties based on its molecular structure are usually not available (Figure 8-1). Therefore, the establishment of Quantitative Structure-Property Relationships (QSPRs) and Quantitative Structure-Activity Relationships (QSARs) uses an indirect approach in order to tackle this problem. In the first step, numerical descriptors encoding information about the molecular structure are calculated for a set of compounds. Secondly, statistical and artificial neural network models are used to predict the property or activity of interest based on these descriptors or a suitable subset.

The determination of an analyte s concentration based on its absorption of ultraviolet or visible radiation is one of the most frequently encountered quantitative analytical methods. One reason for its popularity is that many organic and inorganic compounds have strong absorption bands in the UV/Vis region of the electromagnetic spectrum. In addition, analytes that do not absorb UV/Vis radiation, or that absorb such radiation only weakly, frequently can be chemically coupled to a species that does. For example, nonabsorbing solutions of Pb + can be reacted with dithizone to form the red Pb-dithizonate complex. An additional advantage to UV/Vis absorption is that in most cases it is relatively easy to adjust experimental and instrumental conditions so that Beer s law is obeyed. 

The following discussion on health and safety aspects of titanium compounds is concerned only with the behavior of the titanium present in inorganic compounds and not with the effects of the compounds themselves. For example, titanium tetrachloride must be treated with care because of the effects of the hydrochloric acid and heat produced when it reacts with water, not because of the possible toxicity of titanium. Apart from very few exceptions, the inorganic compounds of titanium are generally regarded as having low toxicity. Because of the ubiquitous nature of the element and its compounds, average concentrations of titanium in blood have been determined at 130—160 Fg/L (182—184), with a typical value of 10 Fg/L in urine (185).

In spite of the slow development of crystal structure analysis, once it did take olT it involved a huge number of investigators tens of thousands of crystal structures were determined, and as experimental and interpretational techniques became more sophisticated, the technique was extended to extremely complex biological molecules. The most notable early achievement was the structure analysis, in 1949, of crystalline penicillin by Dorothy Crowfoot-Hodgkin and Charles Bunn this analysis achieved something that traditional chemical examination had not been able to do. By this time, the crystal structure, and crystal chemistry, of a huge variety of inorganic compounds had been established, and that was most certainly a prerequisite for the creation of modern materials science. 

Destructive analytical procedures, which were mostly developed at the beginning of this century for inorganic compounds, have been modified, revised, and established for the determination of fluorine in organofluorine compounds.

The experimental methods used for the determination of thermal conductivity are described by Tsederberg (1965), who also lists values for many substances. The four-volume handbook by Yaws (1995-1999) is a useful source of thermal conductivity data for hydrocarbons and inorganic compounds.

A substantial number of papers have been published between the 60s and the 90s on the determination of inorganic analytes by CL-based techniques. The application of established methods to the analysis of inorganic compounds involves the areas of environmental, geographical, and biological sciences. Although many efforts have been undertaken in the past years, there still remains a challenge to apply CL-based techniques to routine analysis of inorganic elements, as the complex matrix of a real sample may cause unexpected effects on CL emission. 

The CL-based technique has been successfully applied to the determination of inorganic compounds, e.g., Cu(II), Co(II), Cr(III), and H202, among many others, with lowest detection limits among the current techniques available. 

It should be noted, however, that among the various analytical methods currently available for the determination of inorganic compounds, CL-based techniques are still not yet being considered as important techniques because only limited CL systems are available, so far.
