Abstract:
Solvatochromism of the long wavelength band in the electronic absorption spectra of N-(4-nitrophenyl)-L-proline, NLP, N-(4-nitrophenyl)-D-proline, NDP, and N-(4-nitro-phenyl)-trans-4-hydroxy-L-proline, NHP, was studied and quantitatively described with Kamlet-Taft solvent polarity parameters. To evaluate the environmental effects for NLP, NDP, and NHP, the UV-vis spectroscopic behavior of these compounds was also investigated as pure crystals, as a guest in 2,6-O-dimethyl-beta-cyclodextrin, and also when adsorbed on Aerosil 300 silica particles from nonhydrogen-bond accepting solvents. Excellent Kamlet-Taft solvatochromic correlations were established for the three compounds in most solvents. Multiparameter correlations show the existence of specific solute-solvent interactions. A strong positive solvatochromic behavior was found for these compounds, indicating that their dipole moments were higher in the excited singlet state than in the ground state.

The internal reference compound generally used in NMR spectroscopy is tetramethylsilane (TMS). TMS is preferred because it is chemically inert, soluble in NMR solvents, and easily removable. Also, the highly shielded methyl protons in TMS yield an intense...

To explain the observed behavior of transition metal complexes (such as colors), a model involving electrostatic interactions between the electrons from the ligands and the electrons in the unhybridized d orbitals of the central metal atom has been developed. This electrostatic model is crystal field theory (CFT). It helps to understand, interpret, and predict the colors, magnetic behavior, and some structures of coordination compounds of transition metals.

When ionic compounds dissolve in water, the ions in the solid separate and disperse uniformly throughout the solution because water molecules surround and solvate the ions, reducing the strong electrostatic forces between them. This process...
02:19Physical Properties Affecting Solubility
As for any solution, the solubility of a gas in a liquid is affected by the attractive intermolecular forces between solute and solvent species. Unlike solid and liquid solutes, however, there is no solute-solute intermolecular attraction to overcome when a gaseous solute dissolves in a liquid solvent since the atoms or molecules comprising a gas are far separated and experience negligible interactions. Consequently, solute-solvent interactions are the sole...
