Solution complexation, versus

Complexes with less extended aromaticity such as Ru(bpy/phen)2HAT [73-76] (HAT = 1,4,5,8,9,12-hexaazatriphenylene, Fig, 2) and Ru(bpy)2PPZ [77-80] (PPZ = 4,7-phenanthrolino-[6,5-b] pyrazine. Fig. 2) exhibit also characteristics most relevant to intercalation. We can mention (1) a very slow mobility of the HAT complex along the DNA double helix [81], (2) a good protection of the complex versus reagents that remain in the bulk solution [73,79], and (3) a clear hypochromic effect on the MLCT transition in the presence of DNA [73, 75, 79,80].

It has been observed that cycloadditions of methyl cinnamate with simple alkenes in dilute solution are catalyzed by Lewis acids such as boron trifluoride86. The mechanism of these reactions involves electronic excitation of a ground state methyl cinnamate-Lewis acid complex followed by reaction of the excited complex with ground state olefin. The catalytic effect of the Lewis acid results from an increase either in excited state lifetime or reactivity of the complexed versus free ester. This was discovered in an investigation of the photochemical reactivity of coumarin in the presence of Lewis acids87.

The stability of [Co(terpy)(4,7-diphenyl-l,10-phenanthroline)](triflate)2 under oxygen was evaluated first using cyclic voltammetry. Activity, defined as measured concentration of active complex versus original concentration, was 80% over 30 days under O2 and 91% for the same period under N2, both under near anhydrous conditions. These compared to 35% retained activity under "wet" conditions (contact with lab atmosphere). As far as we are aware, these results represent the best stability yet achieved for solution based equilibrium oxygen complexes, with the possible exception of the Co(II) BISTREN complex.l6... 

Constmction of a molecular model for HPMCAS is complicated by the complex and varied substitution patterns possible as evident in the representative substructure shown along with the variety of R-substituents that may he found at each of the indicated oxygens (Fig. 13.6). As recently observed by Porter in et al. [60], a limited variety of HPMCAS products are available, and they cover a relatively small subspace of the entire allowed compendial space. In particular, they observed that the ratio of acetyl to succinyl substitution may have a dramatic impact on the ability of HPMCAS to form supersatnrated solutions as measured by areas under the solution concentration versus time profiles (AUCs). Supersaturation profiles are highly dependent on the HPMCAS composition and also very dmg specific. MD simulations may ultimately contribute to understanding of the molecular basis for the relationship between HPMCAS molecular structure and dispersion performance. Clearly, HPMCAS polymer assembly in terms of composition and substitution pattern requires careful attention. 

The question of metal ion-adenine interaction in ATP complexes has been studies by UV measurements in aqueous solution (3). Difference spectra of the ATP complexes versus ee ligand, and comparison with adenosin complexes, indicate that equilibrium 1 is far to the left for Ca-ATP, Mg-ATP, Mn-ATP, Co-ATP, Ni-ATP and Zn-ATP, while in solution of Cu-ATP species II predominate, in which Cu is bound to the adenine ring too. 

The concentration of fluoride in drinking water may be determined indirectly by its ability to form a complex with zirconium. In the presence of the dye SPADNS, solutions of zirconium form a reddish colored compound, called a lake, that absorbs at 570 nm. When fluoride is added, the formation of the stable ZrFe complex causes a portion of the lake to dissociate, decreasing the absorbance. A plot of absorbance versus the concentration of fluoride, therefore, has a negative slope. 

Agulyansky et al. [492, 493] investigated the complex structure and composition of solid phases precipitated by ammonia solution from experimental and industrial niobium and tantalum strip solutions. Fig. 136 shows isotherms (20°C) of Nb205 content versus pH for solutions prepared by the dissolution of (NH4)3NbOF6 and (NH4)2NbOF5 in water and of Nb metal in... 

The distribution of metals between dissolved and particulate phases in aquatic systems is governed by a competition between precipitation and adsorption (and transport as particles) versus dissolution and formation of soluble complexes (and transport in the solution phase). A great deal is known about the thermodynamics of these reactions, and in many cases it is possible to explain or predict semi-quantita-tively the equilibrium speciation of a metal in an environmental system. Predictions of complete speciation of the metal are often limited by inadequate information on chemical composition, equilibrium constants, and reaction rates. 

The treatment of LB films of copper behenate (10-50 layers) with H2S gas resulted in formation of the semiconductor CU2S [177]. In this case, the LB films of behenic acid alone were formed and then exposed to solutions of copper chloride. Conversion of the carboxyl groups to carboxylate groups upon copper complexation was confirmed by infrared spectroscopy. Resistivity measurements versus temperature confirmed the formation of semiconducting CU2S in one case, and showed a linear increase in log(R) versus IT K). All of the samples became insulators on exposure to air maintaining the conductivity required storage under vacuum. The formation of CuiS sheets in some of the sample was concluded from optical microscopy and resistivity data. 

The reduction of Co(lll) by Fe(II) in perchloric acid solution proceeds at a rate which is just accessible to conventional spectrophotometric measurements. At 2 °C in 1 M acid with [Co(IlI)] = [Fe(II)] 5 x 10 M the half-life is of the order of 4 sec. Kinetic data were obtained by sampling the reactant solution for unreacted Fe(Il) at various times. To achieve this, aliquots of the reaction mixture were run into a quenching solution made up of ammoniacal 2,2 -bipyridine, and the absorbance of the Fe(bipy)3 complex measured at 522 m/i. Absorbancies of Fe(III) and Co(lll) hydroxides and Co(bipy)3 are negligible at this wavelength. With the reactant concentrations equal, plots of l/[Fe(Il)] versus time are accurately linear (over a sixty-fold range of concentrations), showing the reaction to be second order, viz.
