Canada Abstract Mixed-valent diruthenium(II,III) tetraacetate, [Ru2(jx-02CCH3)4(H20)2](PF6), was reacted with various bidentate P-N donor ligands. These reactions lead to the partial displacement of some of the bridging carboxylate groups and concomitant cleavage of the Ru-Ru bond, producing novel complexes. Disassembly reactions with the aminophosphines, diphenyl-2-pyridylphosphine (dpppy) and 2-(diphenylphosphino)ethylamine (dppea), produce the homoleptic tris-chelated complexes, 7&c-[Ru(dpppy-P,iV)3](PF6)2 (HI) and mer-[Ru(dppea-P,iV)3](PF6)2 (VI), respectively. Disassembly reactions with the aromatic aminophosphines, 2-(diphenylphosphino)methylpyridine (dppmpy) and 2-(diphenylphos- phino)ethylpyridine (dppepy), lead to the heteroleptic tris-chelated complexes cis, cis,trans- [Ru(dppmpy-P, ^(r^-C^CCHa)](PF 6>MeOH (IV) and cis.cis.trans- [Ru(dppepy-P,iV)2(Ti2-02CCH3)](PF6) (V), respectively, whereas reaction with the non- cyclic aminophosphine, 3-(diphenylphosphino)-l-propylamine (dpppa) and non-cyclic iminophosphine, 2-(diphenylphosphino)benzylidinebenzylamine (dppbba), lead to the A , heteroleptic tris-chelated complexes cis, cis, /rons-[Ru(dpppa-/ 1/^(ri -O2CCH3XKPF6)- •EtOH (VII) and cw,cis,/r<am-[Ru(dppbba-P,AT)2(n2-02CCH3)](PF6)*2Me0H»H20 (VIII), respectively. All complexes were characterized using elemental analysis; FT-IR, UV-vis and NMR spectroscopies; electrochemistry and X-ray crystallography. Electrochemical studies (CV, OSWV) of the complexes showed that the homoleptic tris-chelated complexes had higher oxidation potentials (Epa) than the corresponding heteroleptic tris-chelated complexes, due to the weak Jt-acceptor ability of the acetate group. Of all the complexes studied, both homo- and heteroleptic, ^c-[Ru(dpppy-P,iV)3](PF6)2 (HI) had the highest Epa as it contained the strongest ii combination of ^-accepting groups (i.e. three phosphine and three pyridyl groups). The Epa values of the heteroleptic complexes were found to be in the order: dppbba (CH=N) > dppmpy, dppepy (py) > dpppa (NH3), since amine are much poorer (essentially nonexistent) a-acceptors compared to the pyridyl and imino groups. Complexes (ID), (VI) and (VII) showed irreversible oxidation waves, while complexes (IV), (V) and (VIII) showed a quasi-reversible one electron processes with varying chemical reversibility. iii Acknowledgements First and foremost I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my supervisor Dr. Manuel Aquino from whom I have learnt so much and for the opportunity to do this research work.

  • Methanogenesis Rates in Acetate and Nitrate Amended Anoxic Slurries
    Methanogenesis rates in acetate and nitrate amended anoxic slurries BIOS 35502: Practicum in Environmental Field Biology Patrick Revord Advisor: William West 2011 Abstract With increasing urbanization and land use changes, pollution of lakes and wetland ecosystems is imminent. Any influx of nutrients, anthropogenic or natural, can have dramatic effects on lake gas production and flux. However, the net effect of simultaneous increase of both acetate and nitrate is unknown. Methane (CH4) production was measured in anoxic sediment and water slurries amended with ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3), which has been shown to inhibit methanogenesis, and sodium acetate (CH3COONa or NaOAc), which is known to increase methanogenesis. The addition of acetate significantly increased the methanogenesis rate, but the nitrate amendment had no significant effect. The simultaneous amendment of both acetate and nitrate showed no significant increase in CH4 compared to the control, indicating that the presence of nitrate may have reduced the effect of acetate amendment. Introduction Methane, a greenhouse gas associated with global warming, continues to increase in concentration in our atmosphere. Global yearly flux of methane into the atmosphere is 566 teragrams of CH4 per year, which is more than double pre-industrial yearly flux (Solomon et al. 2007). Increasing urbanization and land-use changes contribute significantly to increased gas levels (Anderson et al. 2010, Vitousek 1994). Nutrients travel from anthropogenic sources such as wastewater treatment facilities, landfills, and agricultural plots into nearby lakes, rivers, and wetlands, causing increased primary productivity in a process known as eutrophication (Vitousek et al. 1997). The increased nutrients and productivity lead to toxic algal blooms that create products such as acetate, H2, and CO2; a nutrient-rich anoxic environment suitable for anaerobic bacteria to produce unnaturally high levels of methane and other greenhouse gases (Davis and Koop 2006, West unpublished data).

  • Bond Distances and Bond Orders in Binuclear Metal Complexes of the First Row Transition Metals Titanium Through Zinc
    Metal-Metal (MM) Bond Distances and Bond Orders in Binuclear Metal Complexes of the First Row Transition Metals Titanium Through Zinc Richard H. Duncan Lyngdoh*,a, Henry F. Schaefer III*,b and R. Bruce King*,b a Department of Chemistry, North-Eastern Hill University, Shillong 793022, India B Centre for Computational Quantum Chemistry, University of Georgia, Athens GA 30602 ABSTRACT: This survey of metal-metal (MM) bond distances in binuclear complexes of the first row 3d-block elements reviews experimental and computational research on a wide range of such systems. The metals surveyed are titanium, vanadium, chromium, manganese, iron, cobalt, nickel, copper, and zinc, representing the only comprehensive presentation of such results to date. Factors impacting MM bond lengths that are discussed here include (a) n+ the formal MM bond order, (b) size of the metal ion present in the bimetallic core (M2) , (c) the metal oxidation state, (d) effects of ligand basicity, coordination mode and number, and (e) steric effects of bulky ligands. Correlations between experimental and computational findings are examined wherever possible, often yielding good agreement for MM bond lengths. The formal bond order provides a key basis for assessing experimental and computationally derived MM bond lengths. The effects of change in the metal upon MM bond length ranges in binuclear complexes suggest trends for single, double, triple, and quadruple MM bonds which are related to the available information on metal atomic radii. It emerges that while specific factors for a limited range of complexes are found to have their expected impact in many cases, the assessment of the net effect of these factors is challenging.

Gottlieb,* Vadim Kotlyar, and Abraham Nudelman* Department of Chemistry, Bar-Ilan University, Ramat-Gan 52900, Israel Received June 27, 1997 In the course of the routine use of NMR as an aid for organic chemistry, a day-to-day problem is the identifica- tion of signals deriving from common contaminants (water, solvents, stabilizers, oils) in less-than-analyti- cally-pure samples. This data may be available in the literature, but the time involved in searching for it may be considerable. Another issue is the concentration dependence of chemical shifts (especially 1H); results obtained two or three decades ago usually refer to much Figure 1.

  • A New Take on the Aspirin Synthesis Lab: a Multi-Step Organic Synthesis Laboratory for High School Students
    A new take on the aspirin synthesis lab: A multi-step organic synthesis laboratory for high school students Michael P. Kowalski Rationale The use of the extracts of various plants for the treatment of pain and fever goes back several centuries. A tea made from the leaves or bark of Willow ( Saliaceae ) was found to be especially effective. By the late 19th Century, the active ingredient in these plant extracts, salicylic acid, had been identified. In 1874, the process for the commercial production of salicylic acid was perfected. The use of salicylic acid as an analgesic became widespread. However, side effects, such as gastric bleeding, made long term use of the drug impossible for many patients. In 1895, Felix Hoffman of the Fredrick Bayer Company found a method to acetylate salicylic acid, producing acetyl salicylic acid. This derivative was found to be as effective as salicylic acid as an analgesic but did not have the side effects associated with salicylic acid. The new drug was named “aspirin”, a name inspired by Saint Aspirinius, the patron saint of headaches. The introduction of aspirin marks the beginning of the modern pharmaceutical industry. The mechanism as to how aspirin alleviates pain was not elucidated until the 1970’s, when it was found that aspirin inhibits COX 1 and COX 2, enzymes that catalyze the formation of prostaglandins, substances that cause inflammation (1). The synthesis of aspirin, acetylsalicylic acid, is a standard first year organic chemistry laboratory activity at the college level. In most protocols, salicylic acid is reacted with acetic anhydride producing aspirin and acetic acid by acid catalysis: O OH O O OH O O H2SO4 O CH3 + H3C OH OH H C O CH + 3 3 O The reaction is refluxed for 30 minutes, and then cooled.

  • Aspirin. an Ab Initio Quantum-Mechanical Study of Conformational Preferences and of Neighboring Group Interactions
    J. Org. Chem. 2001, 66, 771-779 771 Aspirin. An ab Initio Quantum-Mechanical Study of Conformational Preferences and of Neighboring Group Interactions Rainer Glaser Department of Chemistry, University of MissourisColumbia, Columbia, Missouri 65211 [email protected] Received August 15, 2000 The potential energy surface of acetylsalicylic acid, aspirin, has been explored at the RHF/6-31G* and B3LYP/6-31G* levels, and single-point calculations were performed at levels up to B3LYP/ 6-311G**//B3LYP/6-31G*. All conformational isomers have been located, the thermochemical functions have been computed, and relative energies and free enthalpies were determined. The conformational space of aspirin is spanned by three internal coordinates, and these are the carboxylic acid C-O conformation (s-trans preferred by about 7 kcal/mol), the C-COOH conformation (Z preferred unless there are H-bonding opportunities), and the ester C-O conformation (s-trans preferred by about 4 kcal/mol). There are nine aspirin isomers since one of the conformers realizes hydrogen-bonding structure isomerism as well. Neighboring group interactions are discussed with reference to the intrinsic properties of benzoic acid and phenyl acetate. The intrinsic conformational preference energies for benzoic acid and phenyl acetate are not additive. The acid s-trans preference energies differ by as much as 9 kcal/mol depending on the Ph-COOH and ester conformations. Similarly, the E-preference energies about the Ph-COOH bond vary by as much as 6 kcal/mol depending on the ester conformation. The structural discussion suggests an overall ortho repulsion between the functional groups in all aspirin isomers including the intramolecularly hydrogen- bonded isomers.

  • Vinyl Acetate
    Vinyl acetate 108-05-4 Hazard Summary Vinyl acetate is primarily used as a monomer in the production of polyvinyl acetate and polyvinyl alcohol. Acute (short-term) inhalation exposure of workers to vinyl acetate has resulted in eye irritation and upper respiratory tract irritation. Chronic (long-term) occupational exposure did not result in any severe adverse effects in workers; some instances of upper respiratory tract irritation, cough, and/or hoarseness were reported. Nasal epithelial lesions and irritation and inflammation of the respiratory tract were observed in mice and rats chronically exposed by inhalation. No information is available on the reproductive, developmental, or carcinogenic effects of vinyl acetate in humans. An increased incidence of nasal cavity tumors has been observed in rats exposed by inhalation. In one drinking water study, an increased incidence of tumors was reported in rats. EPA has not classified vinyl acetate for carcinogenicity. Please Note: The main sources of information for this fact sheet are EPA's Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS) (2), which contains information on inhalation chronic toxicity of vinyl acetate and the RfC, and the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry's (ATSDR's) Toxicological Profile for Vinyl Acetate. (1) Uses Vinyl acetate is primarily used as a monomer in the production of polyvinyl acetate and polyvinyl alcohol.(1) Vinyl acetate is also used as a raw material in the production of other chemicals, in adhesives, water-based paints, nonwoven textile fibers, textile sizings and finishes, paper coatings, inks, films, and lacquers. (1,2) Sources and Potential Exposure Exposure is most likely to occur in the workplace, where individuals may be occupationally exposed to vinyl acetate via inhalation or dermal contact during its manufacture or use.

Abstract Background: Urine and serum alkalization with sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) is the initial treatment for salicylate toxicity. Due to medication shortages, sufficient quantities of NaHCO3 may not be available and alternative treatments may be needed. Case Report: This is an observational case report of a man who presented with chronic, inadvertent aspirin intoxication. Initially, we used a NaHCO3 continuous intravenous (IV) infusion until the hospital ran out of NaHCO3. Thereafter, the NaHCO3 IV infusion was replaced with a sodium acetate (SA) continuous IV infusion. “Why should an emergency physician be aware of this?” Sodium acetate’s role in serum and urine alkalization for drug intoxications is not well understood.
