ABSTRACTZirconium propoxide hydrolysis was performed with the help of an esterification reaction using acetic acid. Products, obtained according to the value of hydrolysis ratio, are successively crystals, sols and gels or precipitates. The similarity of FUR and NMR spectra for crystals and gels allows to think that the arrangements of ligands around the zirconium atoms are close. The crystalline structure determination permits to precise the environment : acetate groups are always bridging and propoxy groups can be bridging or terminal. Clusters containing 9 zirconium atoms, bridged by oxygen atoms, exist in the structure. The colloid size growth was performed by light scattering. A discussion of the role of acetic acid and the competition between the possible reactions is given.

Kinetics and mechanism of hydrolysis of acetylthiocholine by the enzyme butyrylcholine esterase was studied. The spectrophotometric Ellman’s method and potentiometric pH-stat method were used for continuous determination of the actual concentration of the products thiocholine and acetic acid in the reaction mixture. The validity of the Michaelis-Menten (Briggs-Haldane) equation in the whole course of the reaction under used conditions was proved. The corresponding kinetics parameters (Vm and KM) were calculated from the obtained dependences of concentration of thiocholine or acetic acid vs. time and compared. From this comparison the deciding kinetic role of the step producing thiocholine was derived. The values of initial molar concentration of the enzyme and of the rate constants of the kinetic model were estimated.

It has been shown that the WP04 functional in combination with moderate basic sets 6-31G(d) and SDD allows to calculate characteristics of 1H NMR-spectrum of metal complexes with ligands based on tetrazole derivatives with high accuracy, which can be used to assign signals in the NMR-spectra. The process of hydrolysis of the isomeric platinum(II) chloride complexes with (2-isopropyltetrazol-5-yl)acetic acid has been investigated using the methods of quantum chemistry and NMR-spectroscopy. An explanation of the changes of signals in the 1H NMR-spectra of the considered complexes during their hydrolysis is given.

The 1,3,5-trimethyl-1,3,5-triaza-2-oxo-2λ4-phosphinane-4,6-diones 7 and 8 were obtained from the 6,8,10-trimethyl-2,2,3,3-tetrakis(trifluoromethyl)-6,8,10-triaza-1,4-dioxa-5 λ5-phosphaspiro[4.5]decane-7,9-diones 3 and 5, either by reaction with water or on heating; in the latter case we assume that tetrakis(trifluoromethyl)oxirane was eliminated. The hydrolysis of 2-(β-chloroethyl)amino-1,3,5-trimethyl-1,3,5-triaza-2-[p-nitrobenzoylimido]-2A4-phosphinane-4,6-dione 4 and of 5-bis-(β-chloroethyl)-amino-6,8,10-trimethyl-2,3-perchlorobenzo-6,8,10-triaza-1,4-dioxa-5λ5-phosphaspiro[4.5]decane-7,9-dione 6, in the same manner, gave the products 7 and 8. The synthesis of the perfluoropinacolyl spirophosphorane 3 is described. The compounds 3,7 and 8 were characterized from their 1H, 13C and 31P NMR spectra, mass spectra and through the X-ray structure determination of 8, in which the ring displays a flattened envelope conformation.

The uncatalyzed BrO3--O-acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) reaction in aqueous H2SO4 exhibits oscillatory behavior. The induction period observed before the onset of oscillations depends on the extent of hydrolysis of aspirin. The rate constant of hydrolysis of aspirin was determined indirectly from the value of induction period. When aspirin undergoes hydrolysis, the degradation products are salicylic acid and acetic acid. Salicylic acid may play a role of "active" substrate responsible for the oscillations. Aspirin (Bayer) generates also oscillations with bromate.

ZnO with 2D flower-like and 1D rod shape were obtained from simple and rapid hydrolysis of Zn nanopowder. The Zn nanopowders were incorporated into distilled water with acetic acid and then the solution was stirred at 60°C for 8 h. The nanoflower-like and rod shape were formed without any surfactant. It seems that the acetic acid played a role of controlling PH and etching the oxide layer on the surface of metal nanopowders to enhance rapid reaction with distilled water. X-ray diffraction patterns for all samples exhibited that the resultant precipitates were completely transformed to ZnO powder. It is clearly observed that the morphological changes of ZnO with reaction time in aqueous solution follows chestnut bur → flower → tetrahedron → rod sequences during the hydrolysis reaction.

Untreated and hot water-treated birch (Betula pendula) sawdust were cooked by the oxygen-alkali method under the same cooking conditions (temperature = 170°C, liquor-to-wood ratio = 5 L/kg, and 19% sodium hydroxide charge on the ovendry sawdust). The pretreatment of feedstock clearly facilitated delignification. After a cooking time of 90 min, the kappa numbers were 47.6 for the untreated birch and 10.3 for the hot water-treated birch. Additionally, the amounts of hydroxy acids in black liquors based on the pretreated sawdust were higher (19.5-22.5g/L) than those in the untreated sawdust black liquors (14.8-15.5 g/L). In contrast, in the former case, the amounts of acetic acid were lower in the pretreated sawdust (13.3-14.8 g/L vs. 16.9-19.1 g/L) because the partial hydrolysis of the acetyl groups in xylan already took place during the hot water extraction of feedstock. The sulfur-free fractions in the pretreatment hydrolysates (mainly carbohydrates and acetic acid) and in black liquors (mainly lignin and aliphatic carboxylic acids) were considered as attractive novel byproducts of chemical pulping.

Background: RADA-4 (Ac-RADARADARADARADA-NH2) is the most extensively studied and marketed self-assembling peptide, forming hydrogel, used to create defined threedimensional microenvironments for cell culture applications. Objectives: In this work, we use various biophysical techniques to investigate the length dependency of RADA aggregation and assembly. Methods: We synthesized a series of RADA-N peptides, N ranging from 1 to 4, resulting in four peptides having 4, 8, 12, and 16 amino acids in their sequence. Through a combination of various biophysical methods including thioflavin T fluorescence assay, static right angle light scattering assay, Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS), electron microscopy, CD, and IR spectroscopy, we have examined the role of chain-length on the self-assembly of RADA peptide. Results: Our observations show that the aggregation of ionic, charge-complementary RADA motifcontaining peptides is length-dependent, with N less than 3 are not forming spontaneous selfassemblies. Conclusion: The six biophysical experiments discussed in this paper validate the significance of chain-length on the epitaxial growth of RADA peptide self-assembly.
