The thermal conductivity of molten NaCl and KCl was calculated through the Evans-Gillan nonequilibrium molecular dynamics (NEMD) algorithm and Green-Kubo equilibrium molecular dynamics (EMD) simulations. The EMD simulations were performed for a "binary" ionic mixture and the NEMD simulations assumed a pure system for reasons discussed in this work. The cross thermoelectric coefficient obtained ...

We examined the gap-junctional communication properties of a communication-defective cell line R5/3 and its communication-competent revertant H2T12. For these studies, we carried out microelectrode impalements to monitor ionic coupling and dye coupling. Our dye-injection experiments revealed that the H2T12 cells are much more efficient in dye coupling than the R5/3 cells. This latter observatio...

A self-consistent microscopic theory is developed to understand the anomalously weak concentration dependence of ionic self-diffusion coefficient D(ion) in electrolyte solutions. The self-consistent equations are solved by using the mean spherical approximation expressions of the static pair correlation functions for unequal sizes. The results are in excellent agreement both with the known expe...

The distribution coefficients for phenols (phenol, o-cresol, m-cresol, p-cresol, 3,5-xylenol and α-naphthol) in ionic liquid (1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium haxafluorophosphate ([bmim][PF6]))/water two-phase system were measured at 298 K to examine a removal ability of phenols in wastewater by the liquid-liquid extraction. Judging from these distribution coefficients, it is feasible that phenols c...

A general formula is derived for the potential energy of an ion in an ionic solution using all assumptions of the Debye-Hiickel theory except the assumption of constant permittivity. For the solvent the spatial correlation of polarization fluctuations is taken into account. The potential energy of an ion in it's ionic atmosphere is calculated for different models of the spatial correlation of p...

bifunctional acidic ionic liquids, having both h-imidazolium and -so3h groups as cation moieties (h-bfails) and cf3so3- as anion, were synthesized in high yields. these h-bfails showed significant hydrophilic properties, lower acidity and higher thermal stability relative to common ionic liquids, due to their unique structures. the (propyl or butyl-3-sulfonic) imidazolium trifluoromethane sulfo...

ionic liquids such as 1,3-dialkylimidazolium salts make excellent catalysts and solvents for synthesis of dialkyl 2-(dialkoxyphosphoryl)-3-(1-oxo-1-h-phthalazin-2-yl)succinates from 2h-phthalazin-1-one, dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates, and trialkyl phosphites. under similar conditions, triphenyl phosphite led to dialkyl 2-(diphenoxyphosphoryl)-3-(1-oxo-1-h-phthalazin-2-yl)succinates. the ionic ...

Two hundred and fifteen measurements of free (ionic) and total calcium were performed on sera from 184 patients in whom some disturbance in calcium metabolism was suspected. The correlation Coefficient between free and total calcium was 0.94, but a scattergram indicated that free calcium concentration cannot be predicted from knowledge of total calcium concentration. In “normal” individuals the...

a nanocomposite membrane cu2+ ion-selective electrode has been constructed using a new compound ethyl 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-4-(4-methoxyphenyl)-6-methyl-2-oxopyrimidine-5-carboxylat (etmoc) as a neutral ionophore. the electrode works properly. it responds to cu2+ ion with a sensitivity of 29.5 ± 0.2 mv/decade over the range 1.0 × 10−9 to 5.0 × 10−1m at ph 3.0-8.0. the limit of detection was 4.5 × ...
