AI Article Synopsis

  • Ionized acetates were studied to understand how oxygen-containing compounds form dimers in ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) using a drift tube and mass spectrometry.
  • At the instrument's standard conditions, all acetates formed dimers, and their collision cross sections differed based on their structure, with dimers generally having a smaller size than their monomer counterparts.
  • The research also showed that the reduced mobility of acetate dimers varied by the type of alkyl group, helping clarify how dimer formation impacts measurements in IMS.

Article Abstract

Ionized acetates were used as model compounds to describe gas-phase behavior of oxygen containing compounds with respect to their formation of dimers in ion mobility spectrometry (IMS). The ions were created using corona discharge at atmospheric pressure and separated in a drift tube before analysis of the ions by mass spectrometry. At the ambient operational temperature and pressure used in our instrument, all acetates studied formed dimers. Using a homolog series of n-alkyl-acetates, we found that the collision cross section of a dimer was smaller than that of a monomer with the same reduced mass. Our experiments also showed that the reduced mobility of acetate dimers with different functional groups increased in the order n-alkyl

In this study, 34 deep eutectic solvents (DESs) were successfully prepared for the extraction of proanthocyanidin from Rhodiolae Crenulatae Radix et Rhizomes. The extraction process was optimized using single factor exploration and Box-Behnken design-response surface analysis. The extraction rate was significantly improved when the molar ratio of choline chloride to 1,3-propanediol was 1:3.

Crystal growth of 2-(3,4,5-triphen-ylphen-yl)acetic acid () from aceto-nitrile yields a monosolvate, CHO·CHCN, of the space group 1. In the crystal, the title mol-ecule adopts a conformation in which the three phenyl rings are arranged in a paddlewheel-like fashion around the central arene ring and the carboxyl residue is oriented nearly perpendicular to the plane of this benzene ring. Inversion-symmetric dimers of O-H⋯O-bonded mol-ecules of represent the basic supra-molecular entities of the crystal structure.

The article reports a hitherto-unknown aromatic proton transfer (APT) to the o-amine function chelated to manganese(II) ion and disintegration of the molecule generating an aryne intermediate. The reaction of (NQ)-NH(AQ) (LH) with manganese(II) acetate in boiling DMF generates [Mn(L)], where the LH ligands undergo disintegration forming manganese(II) complexes of AQ and an 1,4-naphthoquinonyne intermediate based on benzoquinone ring, that has been defined as [NQ-2H] (NQ and AQ abbreviate respectively 1,4-naphthoquinone and 8-aminoquinoline fragments). The fragmentation reaction of LH depends on the metal precursor used, solvent and temperature.

The many-body expansion, where one computes the total energy of a supersystem as the sum of the dimer, trimer, tetramer, etc., subsystems, provides a convenient approach to compute the lattice energies of molecular crystals. We investigate approximate methods for computing the non-additive three-body contributions to the crystal lattice energy of the polar molecules acetic acid, imidazole, and formamide, comparing to coupled-cluster singles, doubles, and perturbative triples [CCSD(T)] level benchmarks.
