The crystal structure determination of the new rhodium(III)-complex [(DML)(C5Me5)ClRh](PF6). DML = 1,3-dimethyllumazine, reveals O4,N5 coordination of the metal to DML with not very different bond lengths of 213.0(2) pm (Rh-N) and 219.2(2) pm (Rh-O). This result stands in contrast to the previously reported structure of a cationic dihydrobiopterin bound to [Mo(O)Cl3]- which exhibited a very unsymmetrical chelate ar­rangement. Chemical and electrochemical two-electron reduction of the Rh(III) complex led to a very labile Rh(I) species (DML)(C5Me5)Rh which is distinguished by an intense charge transfer band in the visible. The results confirm the characterization of DML as a weak σ donor/π acceptor ligand with a rather low-lying π* orbital.

A simple and sensitive analytical method has been developed for the spectrophotometric assay of amlodipine besylate (ADB) in pure forms and tablets have been described. The method is based on the formation of a charge-transfer complex between the drug and tetrachloquinone (TCQ). This complex exhibit intense absorption bands in the electronic spectrum. The molecular ratio of the reactant in the complex was established and the experimental conditions leading to maximum charge-transfer band was also studied. The reaction proceeds quantitatively at pH 9 and 55°C for 10 min, the absorbance was measured at 346 nm. The method was applied to commercially available tablets and the results were statistically compared wrth those obtained by UV spectrophotometric method, using Newman-Keuls tests. In our method, Beer's Law limits to 5-25 µg/ml. The optimum experimental parameters for colour production with reagent were studied and incorporated into procedure.


In the kinetics of their gas phase oxidations primary and some secondary chloro-paraffins are generally similar to the corresponding hydrocarbons. The rate is strongly affected by the pressure of the organic reactant and nearly independent of oxygen. (With tertiary chloro-compounds an oxygen-catalyzed pyrolysis obscures the direct oxidation.) For the oxidation a mechanism analogous to that proposed for hydrocarbons is assumed, namely one in which the rate is governed by branching chains whose development depends upon the breaking of an unstable —O—O— link. Previous work on the influence of hydrocarbon structure is interpreted with the aid of the hypothesis that methyl groups exert a specific stabilizing effect (and that relatively rapid oxidation demands a point of attack in the molecule sufficiently remote from a methyl group). In the light of this hypothesis the influence of chlorine atoms is compared with that of methyl groups. The chlorine accelerates the oxidation ( a ) by impairing the symmetry of a methyl group into which it is introduced, and ( b ) by a direct inductive effect of its own. The opposite effects of chlorine and of methyl are consistent with the view that the —O—O— links are stabilized by electron accession and weakened by electron recession.

: A spectrophotometry was investigated for the determination of epsilon aminocaproic acid (EACA) with p-nitrophenol (PNP). The method was based on a charge transfer (CT) complexation of this drug as n-electron donor with π-acceptor PNP. Experiment indicated that the CT complexation was carried out at room temperature for 10 minutes in dimethyl sulfoxide solvent. The spectrum obtained for EACA/PNP system showed the maximum absorption band at wavelength of 425 nm. The stoichiometry of the CT complex was found to be 1:1 ratio by Job’s method between the donor and the acceptor. Different variables affecting the complexation were carefully studied and optimized. At the optimum reaction conditions, Beer’s law was obeyed in a concentration limit of 1~6 µg mL-1. The relative standard deviation was less than 2.9%. The apparent molar absoptivity was determined to be 1.86×104 L mol-1cm-1 at 425 nm. The CT complexation was also confirmed by both FTIR and 1H NMR measurements. The thermodynamic properties and reaction mechanism of the CT complexation have been discussed. The developed method could be applied successfully for the determination of the studied compound in its pharmaceutical dosage forms with a good precision and accuracy compared to official method as revealed by t- and F-tests.

We have estimated the degree of polarizability of a polarized oil-water interface used as a working interface and that of the nonpolarizability of a nonpolarized interface used as a reference oil-water interface from the numerical calculation of dc and ac current vs potential behavior at both interfaces. Theoretical equations of dc and ac currents for simultaneous cation and anion transfer of supporting electrolytes have been derived for the planar stationary interface for reversible and quasi-reversible cases. In the derivation, the migration effect and the coupling of the cation and anion transfer have been incorporated. The transfer of ions constituting a supporting electrolyte contributes to the total admittance of the interface even in the region where the interface may be considered as polarized in dc sense, as pointed out first by Samec et al. (J. Electroanal. Chem. 126, 121 (1981)). Moreover, the reference oil-water interface is not ideally reversible, so that the contribution from this interface to the measured admittance cannot be negligible, unless the area of the reference oil-water interface is much larger than that of the working oil-water interface. The effect of non-ideality of the reference oil-water interface on the determination of double layer capacitances and kinetic parameters of charge transfer at the working oil-water interface has been estimated.

The reactions of ketotifen fumarate (KT) with 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-p-benzoquinone (DDQ) and 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ) as π acceptors to form charge transfer (CT) complexes were evaluated in this study. Experimental and theoretical approaches, including density function theory (DFT), were used to obtain the comprehensive, reliable, and accurate structure elucidation of the developed CT complexes. The CT complexes (KT-DDQ and KT-TCNQ) were monitored at 485 and 843 nm, respectively, and the calibration curve ranged from 10 to 100 ppm for KT-DDQ and 2.5 to 40 ppm for KT-TCNQ. The spectrophotometric methods were validated for the determination of KT, and the stability of the CT complexes was assessed by studying the corresponding spectroscopic physical parameters. The molar ratio of KT:DDQ and KT:TCNQ was estimated at 1:1 using Job’s method, which was compatible with the results obtained using the Benesi–Hildebrand equation. Using these complexes, the quantitative determination of KT in its dosage form was successful.
