The photochemical reaction between 1,2-naphthoquinone (NQ) and adenine was investigated using nanosecond time-resolved laser flash photolysis. With photolysis at 355 nm, the lowest triplet state T of NQ was produced via intersystem crossing from its singlet excited state. The triplet-triplet absorption of the state contributes three bands of transient spectra at 374, 596 and 650 nm, respectively, in pure acetonitrile and binary water-acetonitrile solutions. In the presence of adenine, the observation of A· (at 363 nm) and NQ+H· radical (at 343 and 485 nm) indicates a multistep mechanism of electron transfer process followed by a proton transfer between NQ* and adenine. By fitting with the Stern-Volmer relationship, the quenching rate constant k of NQ* by adenine in binary water-acetonitrile solutions (4/1, volume ratio, v/v) is determined as 1.66 × 10 m s . Additionally, no spectral evidence confirms the existence of electron transfer between NQ* with thymine, cytosine and uracil.

This paper delves into an investigation of the solubility characteristics of L-tryptophan within binary solvent systems containing aqueous acetonitrile. The primary emphasis of the study revolves around assessments based on mole fractions. The study utilizes these solubility values to assess thermodynamic constraints, including solution entropies and solution transfer free energetics.

-Acetylglucosamine (NAG) is a significant novel functional monosaccharide with a wide range of potential applications, such as in the medical and cosmetic fields. A gravimetric technique was used to assess the solubility of NAG in water, methanol, ,-dimethylformamide, water + methanol, water + -propanol, water + ,-dimethylformamide, and water + acetonitrile at temperatures ranging from 283.15 to 323.

Prediction of analyte retention times requires prior knowledge of the column void volume, the measurement of which is still highly contested within the literature and therefore experimental based prediction is often used. In this study, we investigated deuterated acetonitrile as an isotopically labelled mobile phase component to observe its elution behaviour in a binary mixture with water at 25 different mobile phase compositions (from 5 to 95 vol.% of acetonitrile), on two stationary phases (C8 and C18), and at two temperatures (30 and 40 °C) using LC-MS.

Differential mobility spectrometry (DMS) separates ions based on mobility differences between high and low electric field conditions. To enhance resolution, solvents such as water and acetonitrile are often used to modify the collision environment and take advantage of differing dynamic clustering behavior between analytes that coelute in hard-sphere environments (., N).

A high-performance liquid chromatographic method was developed for the simultaneous determination of the related substances-three potential synthesis-related chemical impurities and the distomer-of escitalopram. The separation capacity of seven different polysaccharide-type chiral columns, including three amylose-based (Lux Amylose-1, Lux i-Amylose-1, Lux Amylose-2) and four cellulose-based columns (Lux Cellulose-1, Lux Cellulose-2, Lux Cellulose-3, and Lux Cellulose-4) were screened in the polar organic and reversed-phase modes. Lux Cellulose-1, based on cellulose tris(3,5-dimethylphenylcarbamate) as the chiral selector with an acetonitrile-water mixture containing 0.
