Association constants for the ion pairs formed between [Co(Sep)]3+ and the anions fluoride, chloride, bromide, iodide, perchlorate, and oxalate were obtained from the chemical shifts of the 59Co resonance that occur upon addition of such anions to solutions of the cobalt complex. The usefulness of 59Co NMR to obtain formation constants, in order to calculate the "true" quantum yields for the ion pairs, is discussed. Key words: association constant, cobalt sepulchrate, ion pair, 59Co NMR, quantum yield.
The base-catalyzed rearrangement of arylindenols is a rare example of a suprafacial [1,3]-hydrogen atom transfer. The mechanism has been proposed to proceed via sequential [1,5]-sigmatropic shifts, which occur in a selective sense and avoid an achiral intermediate. A computational analysis using quantum chemistry casts serious doubt on these suggestions: these pathways have enormous activation barriers and in constrast to what is observed experimentally, they overwhelmingly favor a racemic product. Instead we propose that a suprafacial [1,3]-prototopic shift occurs in a two-step deprotonation/reprotonation sequence. This mechanism is favored by 15 kcal mol<sup>-1</sup> over that previously proposed. Most importantly, this is also consistent with stereospecificity since reprotonation occurs rapidly on the same p-face. We have used explicitly-solvated molecular dynamics studies to study the persistence and condensed-phase dynamics of the intermediate ion-pair formed in this reaction. Chirality transfer is the result of a particularly resilient contact ion-pair, held together by electrostatic attraction and a critical NH···p interaction which ensures that this species has an appreciable lifetime even in polar solvents such as DMSO and MeOH.
Combining three features—the high affinity of squaramides toward anions, cooperation in ion pair binding and preorganization of the binding domains in the tripodal platform—led to the effective receptor 2. The lack of at least one of these key elements in the structures of reference receptors 3 and 4 caused a lower affinity towards ion pairs. Receptor 2 was found to form an intramolecular network in wet chloroform, which changed into inorganic–organic associates after contact with ions and allowed salts to be extracted from an aqueous to an organic phase. The disparity in the binding mode of 2 with sulfates and with other monovalent anions led to the selective extraction of extremely hydrated sulfate anions in the presence of more lipophilic salts, thus overcoming the Hofmeister series.
The protonation constant (pKa) of
SO42–(aq) has been
determined at ionic strengths 0.5 M ≤I ≤4.0 M in
NaCl and CsCl media at 25˚C by using Raman spectroscopy. These data were
used to calculate the association constant of the
NaSO4–(aq) ion pair in CsCl
media. The results are in excellent agreement with previous values obtained by
other techniques. The (pKa) was
also measured at I = 4 M in both media at
temperatures up to 85˚C and the associated enthalpy and entropy changes
were calculated. However, reliable thermodynamic data for the ion-pairing
reaction could not be obtained at higher temperatures probably because of
competition from CsSO4–(aq).
A polymerizable molecular receptor able to bind ion pairs and new functional polymers containing the receptor units were synthesized and characterized.
Conductivity plays vital role in drug diffusion. Thermodynamic parameters affected by substituents of drug. Thermodynamic parameters of 1, 3, 5 –triazinothiocarbamide (1a) have been investigated by using conductometrically carried out at different molar concentrations. This work highlights investigation of G, K and µ values. The thermodynamic parameters viz. ΔH, ΔS and ∆G for ion pair formation determine from the value of ion association constant. This technique is suitable and accurate to study of pharmokinetics and pharmodynamics parameters.
Rate constants for the proton and deuteron transfer from 1-(4-nitrophenyl)-1-nitroethane to cesium n-propoxide in n-propanol have been measured under pseudo-first-order conditions with an excess of base for four temperatures between 5 and 35 °C. Using literature values of the fraction of cesium n-propoxide ion pairs that are dissociated into free ions, separate second-order rate constants for the proton and deuteron transfer to the ion pair and to the free ion have been calculated. The cesium n-propoxide ion pair is about 2.8 times more reactive than the free n-propoxide ion. The primary kinetic isotope effects for the two reactions are the same (kH/kD = 6.1–6.3 at 25 °C) within experimental error. The enthalpy of activation is smaller for the ion-pair reaction and the entropy of activation more negative than for the free-ion reaction. For proton transfer, ΔH±ion pair = 8.3 ± 0.2 kcal mol−1, ΔH±ion = 9.6 ± 1.0 kcal mol−1, ΔS±ion pair = −12.3 ± 0.6 cal mol−1 deg−1, ΔS±ion = −10.1 ± 3.4 cal mol−1 deg−1. The greater reactivity of the ion pair relative to the free ion is interpreted in terms of the weaker solvation shell of the ion pair in the initial state.
