We examined the variation with ionic strength (I, adjusted with KCl, KNO(3), KBr, NaCl or NaClO(4)) of the formal potential (E(const)) for glass electrodes exhibiting a Nernstian response (i.e. E(cell)=E(const)-slog[H(+)]). For this purpose, we investigated the different factors included in the formal potential, so we obtained reported values for the liquid junction potential as a function of i...

For an ionic melt consisting of two components and of three ion constituents, we derive the interrelation between the Soret coefficient and the initial and final values of the thermoelectric power of a thermocell containing the melt considered. We only use the general formulas of Thermodynamics of Irreversible Processes and there is no restriction with respect to the valency types of the electr...

The ionic liquid, N,N,N,N-tetramethylguanidiniumtriflate (TMGTf) was found to be an efficient catalyst solvent for Henry reaction between nitromethane and isatin derivatives to provide 3-hydroxy-3-(nitromethyl)indolin-2-one under mild conditions. The ionic liquid amenable to successive recycling without appreciable decrease in activity. Synthesized compounds have been screened for their anti-di...

The concentration dependence of the diffusion coefficient of particles suspended in solution depends primarily on the occupied volume fraction and on repulsive and attractive forces. This dependency is expressed by the interaction parameter, which can be assessed experimentally by light scattering measurements and have been determined for the diffusion coefficient of BSA under different salt co...

In the present study, in order to predict the activity coefficient of inorganic ions, 12 cases of aqueous chloride solution were considered (AClx=1,2; A=Li, Na, K, Rb, Mg, Ca, Ba, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni). For this study, the UNIQUAC thermodynamic model is desired and its adjustable parameters are optimized with the Genetic + PSO algorithm. The optimization of the UNIQUAC model with PSO+ genetic algorit...

In recent years there has been a great deal of attention paid by researchers in investigating ionic liquids (ILs) mainly due to the tremendous potential that ionic liquids have in reaction and separation technology. Sonic speed is an important thermodynamic property of ionic liquids (ILs) and always chosen as a source to determine other properties. A database for the sonic speed of pure ILs cre...

PM3 semi-empirical method was used to develop the quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) for predicting the anticonvulsant activity of some acetamido-N-benzylacetamide derivative. In order to to find the optimized geometry of the studied molecules, three types of molecular descriptors were used in deriving quantitative relation between anticonvulsant activity and structural propert...
