Solvent Effects and Molecular Clusters: Especially in Aqueous Organic Solvents.

Organic co-solvents in aqueous DNA-based asymmetric catalysis.

Water-miscible organic co-solvents can be used in DNA-based catalytic asymmetric reactions at appreciable concentration without a negative effect on enantioselectivity. While the rate of the copper(II) Diels-Alder reaction is affected negatively by the presence of organic co-solvents, the copper(II) catalyzed Michael addition and Friedel-Crafts alkylation reaction are significantly faster. Addi...

Effects of solvents polarity parameters on heterogeneous catalytic hydrogenation of cyclohexene in molecular solvents

Heterogeneous catalytic hydrogenation of cyclohexene, catalyzed by Pt/A1203, was carried out in thirteenvarious solvents (four alcoholic solvents, six aprotic polar solvents and three non polar solvents) at 25 °C.Single-parameter correlations of logk vs. normalized polarity parameter (ETN), hydrogen-bond acceptorbasicity (p), hydrogen-bond donor acidity (a) and dipolarity/polarizibility (it*) d...

The impact of solvents on the stability of complexes of Cd(II) with L-tyrosine in aqueous-organic solvent mixtures

The polarographic study of Cd(II) with L-Tyrosine has been investigated in aqueous organic solvent mixtures at 300K. The Dimethyl sulphoxide and Dimethyl formamide solvents have been used with water to study the effect of solvents on the stability of complexes. Cadmium(II) formed 1:1, 1:2 and 1:3 complexes with L-Tyrosine in the aqueous-organic solvent mixture i.e. DMSO and DMF. The stability c...

The Solvent Selection framework: solvents for organic synthesis, separation processes and ionic-organic synthesis

This paper presents a systematic integrated framework for solvent selection and solvent design. The framework is divided into several modules, which can tackle specific problems in various solvent-based applications. In particular, three modules corresponding to the following solvent selection problems are presented: 1) solvent selection and design for organic synthesis, 2) solvent screening an...
