The extra-thermodynamic tetraphenylphosphonium tetraphenylborate assumption has been tested for dimethylsulfoxide using ATR FTIR spectroscopy. Solute-affected DMSO spectra show that, contrary to the TPTB assumption, the charge density on BPh(4)(-) and Ph(4)P(+) ions is sufficiently high to influence the DMSO molecules orientation with respect to the cation and to the anion. Apparently, the Ph(4)P(+) cation does not affect the structure of DMSO whereas the BPh(4)(-) anion clearly breaks it up. Our results indicate that the TPTB extra-thermodynamic assumption is not a sound basis for splitting thermodynamic values obtained for DMSO solutions into ionic contributions.

The mechanism of the phenol-epoxide ring-opening reaction using tetraphenylphosphonium-tetraphenylborate (TPP-K) was investigated using the density functional theory (DFT) method. The reaction was initiated by breaking the P-B bond of TPP-K. The generated tetraphenylborate (TetraPB) reacted with phenol to form a phenoxide ion, which combined with tetraphenylphosphonium (TPP) to produce the active species, i.

An experimentally simple method for the direct determination of single-ion partition coefficients between water and a PVC membrane plasticized with o-NPOE is suggested. The method uses the traditional assumption of equal single-ion partition coefficients for some reference cation and anion, in this case tetraphenylphosphonium (TPP) and tetraphenylborate (TPB). The method is based on an integrated approach, including direct study of some salts' distribution between water and membrane phases, estimation of ion association constants, and measurements of unbiased selectivity coefficients for ions of interest, including the reference ones.

Tetraphenylphosphonium tetraphenylborate (TPTB) is a common reference electrolyte in physical chemistry of solutions allowing for a convenient partitioning of thermodynamic properties into single-ion contributions. Here, we compute on the basis of molecular dynamics simulations the infrared (IR) spectra for hydrated constituent ions of the TPTB assumption. Using spectral decomposition techniques, we extract important information pertaining to the state of the hydration water from the IR spectra.

The effects of the mitochondria-targeted lipophilic cation dodecyltriphenylphosphonium (C12TPP, the charge is delocalized and screened by bulky hydrophobic residues) and those of lipophilic cations decyltriethylammonium bromide and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (C10TEA and C16TMA, the charges are localized and screened by less bulky residues) on bilayer planar phospholipid membranes and tightly-coupled mitochondria from the yeast Yarrowia lipolytica have been compared. In planar membranes, C12TPP was found to generate a diffusion potential as if it easily penetrates these membranes. In the presence of palmitate, C12TPP induced H(+) permeability like plastoquinonyl decyltriphenilphosphonium that facilitates transfer of fatty acid anions (Severin et al.
