A multi-functional chemosensor 1 as silver and sulfide detector was synthesized by the combination of octopamine and 4-dimethylaminocinnamaldehyde. Sensor 1 exhibited a ratiometric fluorescence emission for Ag + from blue to sky. The binding mode of 1 and Ag + turned out to be a 1 : 1 ratio as determined using Job plot and electrospray ionization (ESI) mass spectral analyses. The sensing mechanism of 1 with silver ion was unravelled by 1 H NMR titrations and theoretical calculations. Sensor 1 also discerned sulfide by enhancing fluorescence intensity and changing colour from yellow to colourless in aqueous solution. The sensing properties of 1 toward S 2− were investigated by using ESI-mass analysis, Job plot and 1 H NMR titrations. Moreover, 1 could be used as a detector for sulfide in a wide pH range.

<p>The preparation of chitosans soluble in physiological conditions has been sought for years, but so far solubility in non-acidic aqueous media has only been achieved at the expense of lowering chitosan molecular weight. In this work, we applied the multistep ultrasound-assisted deacetylation process (USAD process) to β-chitin and obtained extensively deacetylated chitosans with high molecular weights (Mw ≥ 1,000,000 g mol<sup>-1</sup>). The homogeneous <i>N</i>-acetylation of a chitosan sample resulting from three consecutive USAD procedures allowed us to produce chitosans with a high weight average degree of polymerization (DPw ≈ 6,000) and tunable degrees of acetylation (DA from 5 to 80%). <i>N</i>-acetylation was carried out under mild conditions to minimize depolymerization, while preserving a predominantly random distribution of 2-amino-2-deoxy-D-glucopyanose (<i>GlcN</i>) and 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-glucopyanose (<i>GlcNAc</i>) units. This close to random distribution, inferred with deconvolution of nuclear magnetic resonance (<sup>1</sup>H NMR) spectra, is considered as responsible for the solubility within a wide pH range. Two of the highly <i>N</i>-acetylated chitosans (DA ≈ 60 % and ≈ 70 %) exhibited full water solubility even at neutral pH, which can expand the biomedical applications of chitosans. </p>

Abstract1:1 Methylmercury(II) complexes of the anti-tumour agent 6-azauracil (6AUH2) and its deriva­tives 6-azathymine (6ATH2). 1-methyl-6-azauracil (6AMUH) and 1-methyl-6-azathymine (6AMTH) have been isolated from aqueous solutions of CH3HgOH and the respective base. N3-Coordination was established by X-ray structural analysis for both [(CH3Hg)6 AUH] (1) (pH 6-8) and [(CH3Hg)6 AMT] (5) (pH 4-12); in addition 1H NMR data are in accordance with an identical binding site in the complexes [(CH3Hg)6AMU] (3) and [(CH3Hg)6 ATH] (4). Using an excess of CH3HgOH. 2:1 complexes with N1, N3-coordination may be prepared for both 6 AUH: and 5 AUH2 in a wide pH range (4-12 and 6-12 respectively). At pH values of 3-4 a 3:1 complex [(CH3Hg)35 AU]NO3 (7), with N1, N3, N5-coordination may be isolated: the binding sites were confirmed by X-ray structural analysis. In no case could an ionic complex with N6- coordination be isolated for a 6-azapyrimidine derivative. The binding preferences of the bases are discussed in the light of MNDO calculations.

Five N-p-phenyl substituted benzamidines were studied by DC and DP polarography in a wide pH range. Coulometric results show that the overall processes are four-electron reductions. Logarithmic analysis of the waves indicate that the process are irreversible. The influence of the pH on the polarographic parameters was also studied. A UV spectrophotometric study was performed in the pH range 2-13. In basic media some variations in the absorption bands were observed due to the dissociation of the amidine group. A determination of the pK values was made by deconvolution of the spectra. Correlations of both the electrochemical parameters and spectrophotometric pK values with the Hammett substituent constants were obtained.
