Abstract An analytical procedure has been developed for the separation of dioxouranium(VI), iron(III), copper(II), nickel(II), cobalt(II), cobalt(III), palladium(II), and thorium(IV) by MEKC using N,N,-ethylene bis(salicylaldimine) (H2SA2en) as a complexing reagent with total runtime <4.5,min. SDS was used as micellar medium at pH,8 with sodium tetraborate buffer (0.1,M). An uncoated fused-silica capillary with an effective length of 50,cm×75,,m id was used with an applied voltage of 30,kV with photodiode array detection at 231,nm. Linear calibrations were obtained within 0.111,1000,,g/mL of each element with LODs within 37,325,ng/mL. The developed method was tested for analysis of uranium ore samples indicating its presence within 103,1789,,g/g with RSD within 0.79,1.87%. Likewise copper, nickel, and iron in their combined matrix were also simultaneously determined with RSD 0.4,1.6% (n,=,6). [source]

Abstract An analytical method has been developed for the separation of glyoxal (Go), methylglyoxal (MGo), and dimethylglyoxal (DMGo) by MEKC using stilbenediamine (SD) as derivatizing reagent, separation time 6.5,min, SDS as micellar medium at pH,8, and sodium tetraborate (0.1,M) as buffer. Uncoated fused-silica capillary, effective length 50,cm×75,,m id; applied voltage 20,kV and photodiode array detection, were used. Calibration was linear within 0.02,150,,g/mL with detection limits 3.5,5.8,ng/mL. Go and MGo, observed for diabetic and healthy volunteers, were within 0.098,0.193,,g/mL Go and 0.106,0.245,,g/mL MGo with RSD 1.6,3.5 and 1.7,3.4%, respectively, in diabetics against 0.016,0.046,,g/mL Go and 0.021,0.066,,g/mL MGo with RSDs 1.5,3.5 and 1.4,3.6%, respectively, in healthy volunteers. Go and MGo in diabetics were also measured by standard addition and DMGo as an internal standard. Additives do not contribute significantly to Go and MGo matrix. [source]

Micellar and salt effects on the interaction of [Cu(II)-Gly-Gly]+ with ninhydrin

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CHEMICAL KINETICS, Issue 10 2007
Mohd. Akram
The effect of cationic micelles of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) on the kinetics of interaction of copper dipeptide complex [Cu(II)-Gly-Gly]+ with ninhydrin has been studied spectrophotometrically at 70°C and pH 5.0. The reaction follows first- and fractional-order kinetics, respectively, in complex and ninhydrin. The reaction is catalyzed by CTAB micelles, and the maximum rate enhancement is about twofold. The results obtained in the micellar medium are treated quantitatively in terms of the kinetic pseudophase and Piszkiewicz models. The rate constants (kobs or k,), micellar-binding constants (kS for [Cu(II)-Gly-Gly]+, kN for ninhydrin), and index of cooperativity (n) have been evaluated. A mechanism is proposed in accordance with the experimental results. The influence of different inorganic (NaCl, NaBr, Na2SO4) and organic (NaBenz, NaSal) salts on the reaction rate has also been seen, and it is found that tightly bound/incorporated counterions are the most effective. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Efficient Platinum(II) Catalyzed Hydroformylation Reaction in Water: Unusual Product Distribution in Micellar Media

ADVANCED SYNTHESIS & CATALYSIS (PREVIOUSLY: JOURNAL FUER PRAKTISCHE CHEMIE), Issue 13 2010
Marina Gottardo
Abstract The hydroformylation of a variety of terminal and internal alkenes is efficiently performed by cationic platinum triflate complexes of the type [P2Pt(H2O)2](OTf)2 under mild conditions in an aqueous micellar medium. The use of surfactants is essential to ensure dissolution of the catalyst and substrate in water with catalysts being positioned on the anionic surface of the micelles. Aldehydes are obtained with linear to branched ratios up to >99:1. With styrene derivatives also the corresponding benzaldehydes are formed. The catalyst can be separated by extraction of the organic products with hexane and recycled for at least four times with only a modest loss of activity and no effect on selectivity. [source]

Improvement of the catalytic performance of lignin peroxidase in reversed micelles

JOURNAL OF CHEMICAL TECHNOLOGY & BIOTECHNOLOGY, Issue 1 2008

Abstract BACKGROUND: Anionic surfactant sodium bis (2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate (AOT) had an inhibiting effect on lignin peroxidase (LiP). To improve the catalytic activity of LiP in an AOT reversed micelle in isooctane, nonionic surfactant polyoxyethylene lauryl ether (Brij30) was incorporated into the interfacial membrane. H2O2 played dual roles in the LiP-catalyzed oxidation of substrates. To obtain a sustainable high activity of LiP, a coupled enzymatic reaction, i.e. the glucose oxidase (GOD)-catalyzed oxidation of glucose was used as an H2O2 source. RESULTS: Owing to modification of the charge density of the interfacial membrane, the activity of LiP in an optimized AOT/Brij30 reversed micellar medium (,B (the molar percentage of Brij30) = 0.53, ,0 ([H2O]/([AOT] + [Brij30]) = 23, pH = 4.8) was 40 times that in a single AOT reversed micelle. Due to the controlled release of H2O2, the concentration of H2O2 in the mixed reversed micellar medium was maintained at a moderately high level throughout, which made the LiP-catalyzed oxidation of substrates proceed at a higher conversion rate than counterparts in which H2O2 was supplied externally in one batch at the beginning of the reaction. Decolourization of two waterless-soluble aromatic dyes (pyrogallol red and bromopyrogallol red) using LiP coupled with GOD in the medium also demonstrated that a higher decolourization percentage was obtained if H2O2 was supplied enzymatically. CONCLUSION: The proposed measures (both physicochemical and biochemical) were very effective, giving significant improvement in the catalytic performance of LiP in a single AOT reversed micelle in isooctane, which helped to degrade or transform hydrophobic aromatic compounds with LiP in reversed micelles more efficiently.
