RESUMO
An advanced experimental protocol is reported for studying the kinetics and mechanism of the complex redox reaction between chlorite ion and hypochlorous acid under acidic condition. The formation of ClO2 is followed directly by the classical two-component stopped-flow method. In sequential stopped-flow experiments, the target reaction is chemically quenched using NaI solution and the concentration of each reactant and product is monitored as a function of time by utilizing the principles of kinetic discrimination. Thus, in contrast to earlier studies, not only the formation of one of the products but the decay of the reactants was also directly followed. This approach provides a firm basis for postulating a detailed mechanism for the interpretation of the experimental results under a variety of conditions. The intimate details of the reaction are explored by simultaneously fitting 78 kinetic traces, i.e., the concentration vs. time profiles of ClO2-, HOCl, and ClO2, to an 11-step kinetic model. The most important reaction steps were identified, and it was shown that two reactive intermediates have a pivotal role in the mechanism. While chlorate ion predominantly forms via the reaction of Cl2O, chlorine dioxide is exclusively produced in reaction steps involving Cl2O2. This study leads to clear conclusions on how to control the stoichiometry of the reaction and achieve optimum conditions to produce chlorine dioxide and to reduce the formation of the toxic chlorate ion in practical applications.
RESUMO
Copper(II) complexes of pyridine-based ligands functionalized with alanine (PydiAla) and tyrosine (PydiTyr) moieties have been synthesized as novel superoxide dismutase mimics. The complexes were characterized by pH-potentiometric, spectroscopic (UV-vis, circular dichroism, mass spectrometry, electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy), computational (DFT), and X-ray diffraction methods. Both ligands form high stability copper(II) complexes via the (Npy,N-,N-) donor set supported by the binding of the carboxylate pendant arms. Although the coordination mode is the same for the two systems, the tyrosine containing counterpart exhibits increased copper(II) binding affinity, which is most likely due to the presence of the aromatic moiety of the side chains. Both copper(II) complexes are capable of binding N-methylimidazole, and the formation of the corresponding ternary species was observed at physiological pH. The binary and ternary copper(II) complexes exhibit high SOD activity. The PydiTyr complex exhibits about 1 order of magnitude higher activity than the PydiAla complex. This is probably due to the presence of the phenolic OH group in the former species, which promotes the binding of the superoxide anion radical to the metal center. The results serve as a basis for designing highly efficient copper(II) mimics for medical and practical applications.

CobreRESUMO
Breakpoint chlorination is a generally accepted method for removing ammonium ion from source waters in drinking water treatment technologies. This process is often accompanied by the formation of halogenated organic byproducts. The presence of these compounds in potable water is of primary concern. In this paper, we demonstrate that the concentration of the precursors of the halogenated species can sufficiently be decreased by oxidizing the organic pollutants with the Fe(II)/Fe(III) - S(IV) - air system. Pre-oxidative treatment of the source waters results in a substantial reduction of chemical oxygen demand, while the ammonium ion concentration remains unaffected. The breakpoint chlorination produces substantially less trihalomethanes (THMs) and adsorbable halogenated organic compounds (AOXs) in oxidatively pre-treated source waters than in raw waters. These results offer a possibility to improve drinking water treatment technologies for better controlling the formation of antagonistic byproducts. It is demonstrated that reaching the regulated concentration levels of THMs is feasible with this method even in source waters containing organic pollutants at relatively high concentration levels. The main advantage of the procedure is that the reagents used for the oxidative pre-treatment are converted into non-toxic products (Fe(III) and SO42-) by the end of the process.

Mesoporous silica aerogels have a wide range of potential applications in biotechnology, the food industry, pharmacy and medicine. Understanding the nature of the interactions of biomolecules with these porous nanostructured materials is essential for achieving optimum performance in the targeted applications. In this study, the well-characterized bovine serum albumin (BSA) was chosen as a model protein to probe protein-aerogel interactions in the solution phase. Aqueous BSA was mixed with suspended silica aerogel microparticles, and the colloid system was monitored on-line by UV-vis spectrophotometry and turbidimetry. The global mathematical analysis of the time-resolved data reveals that the fast sorption of the protein on the aerogel microparticles follows a multistep binding mechanism. The extensive sorption of the protein eventually induces the aggregation of the covered aerogel due to the alteration of the electrical double layer of the particles. The interaction of BSA and silica aerogel is the strongest between pH = 4 and 5, because their native surface charges are the opposite in this pH range, as indicated by their respective zeta potentials.

Mesoporous aerogel microparticles are promising drug delivery systems. However, their in vivo biodistribution pathways and health effects are unknown. Suspensions of fluorescein-labeled silica-gelatin hybrid aerogel microparticles were injected into the peritoneum (abdominal cavity) of healthy mice in concentrations of 52 and 104 mg kg-1 in a 3-week-long acute toxicity experiment. No physiological dysfunctions were detected, and all mice were healthy. An autopsy revealed that the aerogel microparticles were not present at the site of injection in the abdominal cavity at the end of the experiment. The histological study of the liver, spleen, kidneys, thymus and lymphatic tissues showed no signs of toxicity. The localization of the aerogel microparticles in the organs was studied by fluorescence microscopy. Aerogel microparticles were not detected in any of the abdominal organs, but they were clearly visible in the cortical part of the parathymic lymph nodes, where they accumulated. The accumulation of aerogel microparticles in parathymic lymph nodes in combination with their absence in the reticuloendothelial system organs, such as the liver or spleen, suggests that the microparticles entered the lymphatic circulation. This biodistribution pathway could be exploited to design passive targeting drug delivery systems for flooding metastatic pathways of abdominal cancers that spread via the lymphatic circulation.

N-oxides of N-heteroaromatic compounds find widespread applications in various fields of chemistry. Although the strictly planar aromatic structure of 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) is expected to induce unique features of the corresponding N-oxides, so far the potential of these compounds has not been explored. In fact, appropriate procedure has not been reported for synthesizing these derivatives of phen. Now, we provide a straightforward method for the synthesis of a series of mono-N-oxides of 1,10-phenanthrolines. The parent compounds were oxidized by a green oxidant, peroxomonosulfate ion in acidic aqueous solution. The products were obtained in high quality and at good to excellent yields. A systematic study reveals a clear-cut correlation between the basicity of the compounds and the electronic effects of the substituents on the aromatic ring. The UV spectra of these compounds were predicted by DFT calculations at the TD-DFT/TPSSh/def2-TZVP level of theory.
RESUMO
Detailed equilibrium, spectroscopic and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity studies are reported on a nickel complex formed with a new metallopeptide bearing two nickel binding loops of NiSOD. The metallopeptide exhibits unique nickel binding ability and the binuclear complex is a major species with 2×(NH2 ,Namide ,S- ,S- ) donor set even in an equimolar solution of the metal ion and the ligand. Nickel(III) species were generated by oxidizing the NiII complexes with KO2 and the coordination modes were identified by EPR spectroscopy. The binuclear complex formed with the binding motifs exhibits superior SOD activity, in this respect it is an excellent model of the native NiSOD enzyme. A detailed kinetic model is postulated that incorporates spontaneous decomposition of the superoxide ion, the dismutation cycle and fast redox degradation of the binuclear complex. The latter process leads to the elimination of the SOD activity. A unique feature of this system is that the NiIII form of the catalyst rapidly accumulates in the dismutation cycle and simultaneously the NiII form becomes a minor species.

The formation and decomposition kinetics of N-chloro-N-methyl amino acids were studied to predict the fate and impact of these compounds in water treatment technologies and biological systems. These compounds form in fast second-order reactions between N-methyl amino acids and hypochlorous acid. The comparison of the activation parameters for the reactions of N-methyl substituted and nonsubstituted branched-chain amino acids reveals the transition-state features less organized structure and stronger bonds between the reactants in the reactions with the N-methyl derivatives. This is due to a combined positive inductive effect of the N-methyl group and the alkyl side chain as well as to the steric effects of the substituents. N-Methyl-N-chloro amino acids decompose much faster than the nonsubstituted compounds. The reaction rates do not depend on the pH, and the same final product is formed in the entire pH range. N-Chlorosarcosine is an exception, as it decomposes via competing paths, kdobs = kd + kdOH[OH-], yielding different final products. This feature is most likely due to the lack of an alkyl substituent on the α-carbon atom. Under physiological pH, aldehydes and methylamine form in these reactions, which are not particularly toxic.

Detailed equilibrium, spectroscopic, and SOD activity studies are reported on nickel(II) complexes formed with the N-terminally free HHDLPCGVY-NH2 (NiSODHH) and HCDLPHGVY-NH2 (NiSODHC) peptides mimicking the nickel binding loop in NiSOD. In these model peptides, cysteine was incorporated in different positions in order to gain better insight into the role of the cysteine residues in NiSOD. The results are compared with those obtained with the wild-type fragment of NiSOD. The complex formation equilibria of nickel(II) with the two peptides exhibit different features. In the case of NiSODHH, the ligand field of the (NH2,NIm,NIm,S-) donor set is not strong enough to cause spin pairing and an octahedral paramagnetic complex is formed under physiological conditions. In contrast, NiSODHC forms a square-planar diamagnetic complex with (NH2,N-,S-,NIm) donors which exhibits remarkable SOD activity. Our results unambiguously prove that the presence of cysteine in the secondary position of the peptide chain is crucial to establish the square-planar geometry in the reduced form of NiSOD, while the distant cysteine affects the redox properties of the Ni(II)/Ni(III) couple. Compared to the model systems, the Ni(II) complex with the wild-type fragment of NiSOD exhibits superior SOD activity. This confirms that both cysteinyl residues are essential in the efficient degradation of superoxide ion. The enzyme mimetic complexes are also capable of assisting the decomposition of superoxide ion; however, they show considerably smaller catalytic activity due to the absence of one of the cysteine residues.

The P-type ATPase CrpA is an important Cu2+ /Cd2+ pump in the Aspergilli, significantly contributing to the heavy metal stress tolerance of these ascomycetous fungi. As expected, the deletion of crpA resulted in Cu2+ /Cd2+ -sensitive phenotypes in Aspergillus nidulans on stress agar plates inoculated with conidia. Nevertheless, paradoxical growth stimulations were observed with the ΔcrpA strain in both standard Cu2+ stress agar plate experiments and cellophane colony harvest (CCH) cultures, when exposed to Cd2+ . These observations reflect efficient compensatory mechanisms for the loss of CrpA operating under these experimental conditions. It is remarkable that the ΔcrpA strain showed a 2.7 times higher Cd biosorption capacity in CCH cultures, which may facilitate the development of new, fungal biomass-based bioremediation technologies to extract harmful Cd2+ ions from the environment. The nullification of crpA also significantly changed the spatial distribution of Cu and Cd in CCH cultures, as demonstrated by the combined particle-induced X-ray emission and scanning transmission ion microscopy technique. Most important, the centers of gravity for Cu and Cd accumulations of the ΔcrpA colonies shifted toward the older regions as compared with wild-type surface cultures.

Detailed equilibrium and spectroscopic characterization of the complex formation processes of the nickel binding loop in NiSOD and its related fragments is reported in the slightly acidic-alkaline pH range. The N-terminally free and protected nonapeptides HCDLPCGVY-NH2 (NiSODM1), HCDLACGVY-NH2 (NiSODM3), and Ac-HCDLPCGVY-NH2 (NiSODM2) and the N-terminally shortened analogues HCDL-NH2 and HCA-NH2 were synthesized, and their nickel(II) complexes were studied by potentiometric and several spectroscopic techniques. EPR spectroscopy was also used to assign the coordinating donor sites after the in situ oxidation of nickel(II) complexes. The terminal amino groups are the primary metal binding sites for nickel(II) ion in NiSODM1 and NiSODM3, resulting in the high nickel(II) binding affinity of this peptide via the formation of a square-planar, (NH2,N-,S-,S-) or (NH2,NImN-,S-) coordinated species in a wide pH range. The latter coordination sphere prevents the formation of the active structure of NiSOD under physiological pH, reflecting the crucial role of proline in nickel(II) binding. In situ oxidation of the Ni(II) complexes yielded Ni(III) transient species in the case of nonapeptides. The square-pyramidal coordination environment with axial imidazole ligation provides the active structure of the oxidized form of NiSOD in the case of N-terminally free peptides. Consequently, these ligands are promising candidates for modeling NiSOD. The acylation of the amino terminus significantly reduces the nickel(II) binding affinity of the nonapeptide, while the oxidation results in coordination isomers.

The physicochemical properties of rare-earth zirconates can be tuned by the rational modification of their structures and phase compositions. In the present work, La3+-, Nd3+-, Gd3+-, and Dy3+-zirconate nanostructured materials were prepared by different synthetic protocols, leading to powders, xerogels, and, for the first time, monolithic aerogels. Powders were synthesized by the co-precipitation method, while xerogels and aerogels were synthesized by the sol-gel technique, followed by ambient and supercritical drying, respectively. Their microstructures, thermogravimetric profiles, textural properties, and crystallographic structures are reported. The co-precipitation method led to dense powders (SBET < 1 m2 g-1), while the sol-gel technique resulted in large surface area xerogels (SBET = 144 m2 g-1) and aerogels (SBET = 168 m2 g-1). In addition, the incorporation of lanthanide ions into the zirconia lattice altered the crystal structures of the powders, xerogels, and aerogels. Single-phase pyrochlores were obtained for La2Zr2O7 and Nd2Zr2O7 powders and xerogels, while defect fluorite structures formed in the case of Gd2Zr2O7 and Dy2Zr2O7. All aerogels contain a mixture of cubic and tetragonal ZrO2 phases. Thus, a direct effect is shown between the drying conditions and the resulting crystalline phases of the nanostructured rare-earth zirconates.
RESUMO
The relaxivity of Gd(HP-DO3A) was studied as a function of pH and buffer composition in order to identify the main factors of the observed relaxation enhancement due to the exchange of the coordinated hydroxyl proton. It was established that the paramagnetic relaxation time, T1M, of the coordinated hydroxyl proton is about 50% shorter than that of the protons in the coordinated water molecule. The control of the p K of the coordinated alcoholic -OH moiety in the ligand is fundamental to utilize the proton exchange enhanced relaxivity under physio/pathologic conditions. A new derivative of Gd(HP-DO3A) was synthesized by replacing the -CH3 group with a -CF3 moiety. In this complex, the -OH group becomes more acidic. Consequently, the maximum contribution of the proton exchange to the relaxivity is shifted to a lower pH region with the fluorinated ligand.

The autocatalytic oxidation of the bis(terpyridine)iron(II) complex, Fe(tpy)22+ by peroxomonosulfate ion (PMS) proceeds via the formation of the corresponding iron(III) complex (Fe(tpy)23+) as the primary oxidation product. The proton-assisted dissociation of Fe(tpy)22+ and subsequent oxidation of Fe2+ are side reactions in this system. In the initial stage of the reaction, a 1:1 adduct is formed between PMS and bis(terpyridine)iron(II), which decomposes in an intramolecular electron transfer reaction step. The autocatalytic role of Fe(tpy)23+ was also confirmed in the overall process. This effect is interpreted by considering the formation of an additional adduct between PMS and Fe(tpy)23+. The decomposition of the adduct yields two strong oxidizing intermediates, an Fe(IV) species and SO4-â¢, which consume the iron(II) complex in rapid reaction steps. A detailed kinetic model was postulated for the overall oxidation of Fe(tpy)22+ by PMS. The equilibrium constants for the formation of the adducts between PMS and complexes Fe(tpy)22+ and Fe(tpy)23+ were estimated as 129 ± 18 M-1 and 87 ± 10 M-1, respectively. In contrast to the closely related Fe(phen)32+-PMS reaction, the N-oxide derivative of the ligand (tpyO) does not have any kinetic role in the overall process because of the very slow formation of the N-oxide in the reaction.
RESUMO
This paper confirms the unexpected formation of 1,10-phenanthroline-N,N'-dioxide (phenO2) when 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) is oxidized by peroxomonosulfate ion (PMS) in a neutral aqueous solution. The kinetics of oxidation of phen by PMS features a complex pH dependence. In 1.00 M H2SO4, 1,10-phenanthroline-mono-N-oxide (phenO) is the sole product of the reaction. The rate of the N-oxidation is highly dependent on pH with a maximum at pH â¼6.7. The formation of phenO occurs via two parallel pathways: the rate constant of the oxidation of phen (k = 3.1 ± 0.1 M(-1) s(-1)) is significantly larger than that of Hphen(+) [k = (4.1 ± 0.3) × 10(-3) M(-1) s(-1)] because the two N atoms are open to oxidative attack in the deprotonated substrate while an internal hydrogen bond hinders the oxidation of the protonated form. With an excess of PMS, four consecutive oxidation steps were found in nearly neutral solutions. In the early stage of the reaction, the stepwise oxidation results in the formation of phenO, which is converted into phenO2 in the second step. The formation of phenO2 was confirmed by (1)H NMR and ESI-MS methods. The results presented here offer the possibility of designing an experimental protocol for preparing phenO2.
RESUMO
A versatile photoreactor was built for studying homogeneous and heterogeneous photochemical reactions using fiber-optic devices. The reactor was designed to allow simultaneous photochemical initiation and online spectrophotometric monitoring of the reaction using independently controlled excitation and detection lamps. The system consists of a CCD spectrophotometer, a thermostated sample holder, two light sources, and standard 1.00 × 1.00 cm (or possibly smaller) fluorescence cuvettes, all coupled with fiber optic cables. The device can be used as a photoreactor, a diode-array spectrophotometer and also as a spectrofluorimeter. The reactor can be used in flow-through operation modes. Performance tests of the instrument are reported here with a number of known photochemical systems.
RESUMO
The decomposition kinetics and mechanism of N-chloroglycine (MCG) was studied under very alkaline conditions ([OH(-)] = 0.01-0.10 M). The absorbance change is consistent with two consecutive first-order processes in the 220-350 nm wavelength range. The first reaction is linearly dependent on [OH(-)] and interpreted by the formation of a carbanion from MCG in an equilibrium step (KOH) and a subsequent loss of chloride ion from this intermediate: kobs1 = KOH k1 = (6.4 ± 0.1) × 10(-2) M(-1) s(-1), I = 1.0 M (NaClO4), and T = 25.0 °C. The second process is assigned to the first-order decomposition of N-oxalylglycine, which is also formed as an intermediate in this system: kobs2 = (1.2 ± 0.1) × 10(-3) s(-1). Systematic (1)H and (13)C NMR measurements were performed in order to identify and follow the concentration changes of the reactant, intermediate, and product. It is confirmed that the decomposition proceeds via the formation of glyoxylate ion and produces N-formylglycine as a final product. This compound is stable for an extended period of time but eventually hydrolyses into formate and glycinate ions. A detailed mechanism is postulated which resolves the controversies found in earlier literature results.

The significance of persulfide species in hydrogen sulfide biology is increasingly recognized. However, the molecular mechanisms of their formation remain largely elusive. The obvious pathway of the reduction of biologically abundant disulfide moieties by sulfide was challenged on both thermodynamic and kinetic grounds. Using DTNB (5,5'-dithiobis-(2-nitrobenzoic acid), also known as Ellman's reagent) as a model disulfide we conducted a comprehensive kinetic study for its reaction with sulfide. The bimolecular reaction is relatively fast with a second-order rate constant of 889 ± 12 M(-1)s(-1) at pH = 7.4. pH dependence of the rate law revealed that the reaction proceeds via the bisulfide anion species with an initial nucleophilic thiol-disulfide exchange reaction to give 5-thio-2-nitrobenzoic acid (TNB) and TNB-persulfide with a pH independent second-order rate constant of 1090 ± 12 M(-1)s(-1). However, kinetic studies and stoichiometric analyses in a wide range of reactant ratios together with kinetic simulations revealed that it is a multistep process that proceeds via kinetically driven, practically irreversible reactions along the disulfide â persulfide â inorganic polysulfides axis. The kinetic model postulated here, which is fully consistent with the experimental data, suggests that the TNB-persulfide is further reduced by sulfide with a second-order rate constant in the range of 5 × 10(3) - 5 × 10(4) M(-1)s(-1) at pH 7.4 and eventually yields inorganic polysulfides and TNB. The reactions of cystine and GSSG with sulfide were found to be significantly slower and to occur via more complicated reaction schemes. (1)H NMR studies suggest that these reactions also generate Cys-persulfide and inorganic polysulfide species, but in contrast with DTNB, in consecutive equilibrium processes that are sensitive to changes in the reactant and product ratios. Collectively, our results demonstrate that the reaction of disulfides with sulfide is a highly system specific process from both thermodynamic and kinetic aspects, which together with the considerable steady-state concentrations of the reactants in biological systems signifies physiological relevance.

This work reports an experimental study of the hydrogen/deuterium exchange in the basic aqueous solutions of trichloroethylene, trans-1,2-dichloroethylene, and cis-1,2-dichloroethylene using (1)H NMR as a monitoring method. 1,1-Dichlorethylene was also investigated but found not to exchange hydrogen isotopes with water. The kinetics of isotope exchange features two different pathways, the first is first order with respect to hydroxide ion, whereas the second is second order. The first pathway is interpreted as a straightforward bimolecular reaction between chloroethylene and hydroxide ion, which leads to the deprotonation of chloroethylene. The second pathway involves a transition state with the association of one molecule of the chloroethylene and two hydroxide ions. It is shown that the second pathway could involve the formation of a precursor complex composed of one chloroethylene molecule and one hydroxide ion, but a direct termolecular elementary reaction is also feasible, which is shown by deriving a theoretical highest limit for the rate constants of termolecular reactions in solution.
