The Chlorate-Nitrous Acid-Iodine-Iodide Oscillating Reaction.

ABSTRACT: This work presents a new oscillating reaction based on chlorate and observed in a CSTR at room temperature. This can be the first member of a new family of oscillating reactions. In addition, it is also the first oscillating reaction to use nitrous acid as a reactant. Four different behaviors were observed: simple oscillations, mixed mode oscillations, bursts, and quasiperiodicity. The period of oscillations is very short, which is around 1 s. Together with the fact that it also shows fast bursts, it opens the possibility that it can be used to simulate fast biological events, like the neuron's communications signals.

The chlorate-iodine-nitrous acid clock reaction.

Project description:A new clock reaction based on chlorate, iodine and nitrous acid is presented. The induction period of this new clock reaction decreases when the initial concentrations of chlorate, nitrous acid and perchloric acid increase, but it is independent on the initial iodine concentration. The proposed mechanism is based on the LLKE autocatalytic mechanism for the chlorite-iodide reaction and the initial reaction between chlorate and nitrous acid to produce nitrate and chlorite. This new clock reaction opens the possibility for a new family of oscillating reactions containing chlorate or nitrous acid, which in both cases has not been observed until now.

Autoinhibition by Iodide Ion in the Methionine-Iodine Reaction.

Project description:The methionine-iodine reaction was reinvestigated spectrophotometrically in detail monitoring the absorbance belonging to the isosbestic point of iodine at 468 nm, at T = 25.0 ± 0.1 °C, and at 0.5 M ionic strength in buffered acidic medium. The stoichiometric ratio of the reactants was determined to be 1:1 producing methionine sulfoxide as the lone sulfur-containing product. The direct reaction between methionine and iodine was found to be relatively rapid in the absence of initially added iodide ion, and it can conveniently be followed by the stopped-flow technique. Reduction of iodine eventually leads to the formation of iodide ion that inhibits the reaction making the whole system autoinhibitory with respect to the halide ion. We have also shown that this inhibitory effect appears quite prominently, and addition of iodide ion in the millimole concentration range may result in a rate law where the formal kinetic order of this species becomes -2. In contrast to this, hydrogen ion has just a mildly inhibitory effect giving rise to the fact that iodine is the kinetically active species in the system but not hypoiodous acid. The surprisingly complex kinetics of this simple reaction may readily be interpreted via the initiating rapidly established iodonium-transfer process between the reactants followed by the subsequent hydrolytic decomposition of the short-lived iodinated methionine. A seven-step kinetic model to be able to describe the most important characteristics of the measured kinetic curves is established and discussed in detail.

Visualizing catalyst heterogeneity by a multifrequential oscillating reaction.

Project description:It is well documented that different surface structures of catalytically active metals may exhibit different catalytic properties. This is typically examined by comparing the catalytic activities and/or selectivities of various well-defined smooth and stepped/kinked single crystal surfaces. Here we report the direct observation of the heterogeneity of active polycrystalline surfaces under reaction conditions, which is manifested by multifrequential oscillations during hydrogen oxidation over rhodium, imaged in situ by photoemission electron microscopy. Each specific surface structure, i.e. the crystallographically different µm-sized domains of rhodium, exhibits an individual spiral pattern and oscillation frequency, despite the global diffusional coupling of the surface reaction. This reaction behavior is attributed to the ability of stepped surfaces of high-Miller-index domains to facilitate the formation of subsurface oxygen, serving as feedback mechanism of the observed oscillations. The current experimental findings, backed by microkinetic modeling, may open an alternative approach towards addressing the structure-sensitivity of heterogeneous surfaces.

Iodine status in Turkish populations and exposure to iodide uptake inhibitors.

Project description:Perchlorate, nitrate, and thiocyanate are competitive inhibitors of the sodium iodide symporter of the thyroid membrane. These inhibitors can decrease iodine uptake by the symporter into the thyroid gland and may disrupt thyroid function. This study assesses iodine status and exposure to iodide uptake inhibitors of non-pregnant and non-lactating adult women living in three different cities in Turkey (Istanbul, Isparta and Kayseri). We measured iodine and iodide uptake inhibitors in 24-hr urines collected from study participants (N = 255). All three study populations were mildly iodine deficient, with median urinary iodine (UI) levels of 77.5 µg/L in Istanbul, 58.8 µg/L in Isparta, and 69.8 µg/L in Kayseri. Perchlorate doses were higher in the study population (median 0.13 µg/kg/day), compared with a reference population (median 0.059 µg/kg/day), but lower than the U.S. EPA reference dose (0.7 µg/kg/day). Urinary thiocyanate levels increased with increasing exposure to tobacco smoke, with non-smokers (268 µg/L) significantly lower than light smokers (1110 µg/L), who were significantly lower than heavy smokers (2410 µg/L). This pilot study provides novel data indicating that study participants were moderately iodine deficient and had higher intakes of the iodide uptake inhibitor perchlorate compared with a reference population. Further investigation is needed to characterize the thyroid impact resulting from iodine deficiency coupled with exposure to iodide uptake inhibitors such as perchlorate, thiocyanate and nitrate.

Damped Oscillating Phosphoryl Transfer Reaction in the Cyanobacterial Circadian Clock.

Project description:Most organisms have circadian clocks to ensure the metabolic cycle to resonate with the rhythmic environmental changes without "damping," or losing robustness. Cyanobacteria is the oldest and simplest form of life that is known to harbor this biological intricacy. Its KaiABC-based central oscillator proteins can be reconstituted inside a test tube, and the post-translational modification cycle occurs with 24 h periodicity. KaiC's two major phosphorylation sites, Ser-431 and Thr-432, become phosphorylated and dephosphorylated by interacting with KaiA and KaiB, respectively. Here, we mutate Thr-432 into Ser to find the oscillatory phosphoryl transfer reaction damps. Previously, this mutant KaiC was reported to be arrhythmic in vivo. However, we found that the mutant KaiC gradually loses the ability to run in an autonomous manner and stays constitutively phosphorylated after 3 cycles in vitro.

On the Origin of the Blue Color in The Iodine/Iodide/Starch Supramolecular Complex.

Project description:The nature of the blue color in the iodine-starch reaction is still a matter of debate. Some textbooks still invoke charge-transfer bands within a chain of neutral I2 molecules inside the hydrophobic channel defined by the interior of the amylose helical structure. However, the consensus is that the interior of the helix is not altogether hydrophobic-and that a mixture of I2 molecules and iodide anions reside there and are responsible for the intense charge-transfer bands that yield the blue color of the "iodine-starch complex". Indeed, iodide is a prerequisite of the reaction. However, some debate still exists regarding the nature of the iodine-iodine units inside the amylose helix. Species such as I3-, I5-, I7- etc. have been invoked. Here, we report UV-vis titration data and computational simulations using density functional theory (DFT) for the iodine/iodide chains as well as semiempirical (AM1, PM3) calculations of the amylose-iodine/iodide complexes, that (1) confirm that iodide is a pre-requisite for blue color formation in the iodine-starch system, (2) propose the nature of the complex to involve alternating sets of I2 and Ix- units, and (3) identify the nature of the charge-transfer bands as involving transfer from the Ix- σ* orbitals (HOMO) to I2 σ* LUMO orbitals. The best candidate for the "blue complex", based on DFT geometry optimizations and TD-DFT spectral simulations, is an I2-I5-I2 unit, which is expected to occur in a repetitive manner inside the amylose helix.

Co-Complexes-Based Self-Oscillating Gels Driven by the Belousov-Zhabotinsky Reaction.

Project description:We report the synthesis of novel cobalt complexes-based catalysts designed for the oscillatory Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) reaction. For the first time, we introduce cobalt complex-based self-oscillating gels that demonstrate autonomous color oscillations within a BZ reagent solution, functioning without the need for any external stimuli. We created acrylamide-based self-oscillating gels containing immobilized tris(2,2'-bipyridine)cobalt(II) or tris(1,10-phenanthroline)cobalt(II) complexes and gels containing covalently bound (5-acrylamido-1,10-phenanthroline)bis(2,2'-bipyridine)cobalt(II), (5-acrylamido-1,10-phenanthroline)bis(1,10-phenanthroline) cobalt(II), or tris(5-acrylamido-1,10-phenanthroline)cobalt(II) complexes. When the BZ reaction takes place within the gels, it results in the observation of moving chemical waves and reversible color changes. We believe that Co-complexes-based self-oscillating gels have potential applications in the design of soft actuators and chemical devices for signal processing.

Efficient and simultaneous capture of iodine and methyl iodide achieved by a covalent organic framework.

Project description:Radioactive molecular iodine (I2) and organic iodides, mainly methyl iodide (CH3I), coexist in the off-gas stream of nuclear power plants at low concentrations, whereas few adsorbents can effectively adsorb low-concentration I2 and CH3I simultaneously. Here we demonstrate that the I2 adsorption can occur on various adsorptive sites and be promoted through intermolecular interactions. The CH3I adsorption capacity is positively correlated with the content of strong binding sites but is unrelated to the textural properties of the adsorbent. These insights allow us to design a covalent organic framework to simultaneously capture I2 and CH3I at low concentrations. The developed material, COF-TAPT, combines high crystallinity, a large surface area, and abundant nucleophilic groups and exhibits a record-high static CH3I adsorption capacity (1.53 g·g-1 at 25 °C). In the dynamic mixed-gas adsorption with 150 ppm of I2 and 50 ppm of CH3I, COF-TAPT presents an excellent total iodine capture capacity (1.51 g·g-1), surpassing various benchmark adsorbents. This work deepens the understanding of I2/CH3I adsorption mechanisms, providing guidance for the development of novel adsorbents for related applications.

Potassium iodide-polyethylene glycol catalyzed cycloaddition reaction of epoxidized soybean oil fatty acid methyl esters with CO<sub>2</sub>.

Project description:Nowadays, the clean production of bio-based products and fixation of carbon dioxide (CO2) are highly desirable. In this work, carbonated fatty acid methyl esters have been successfully prepared in 99% yield by cycloaddition of CO2 with bio-based epoxidized methyl soyates. This was accomplished with a simple and cheap catalyst system of polyethylene glycol 400 (PEG-400) and potassium iodide (KI) under solvent-free conditions. Experimental parameters such as the molar ratio of polyethylene glycol to metal halide, catalyst loading, reaction temperature, reaction time and CO2 pressure were systematically evaluated. The PEG-400 and KI co-catalysts (4 mol%) could significantly promote the cycloaddition of CO2 with internal epoxides (epoxidized methyl soyates) to produce carbonated fatty acid methyl esters. FT-IR and NMR analyses were used to confirm the product, and 99% yield of the five-membered cyclic carbonated methyl soyates was obtained at 120 °C with 3.0 MPa pressure of CO2 for 20 h. This method provides a cleaner approach for the production of bio-based products.

A Chemical Reaction Network Drives Complex Population Dynamics in Oscillating Self-Reproducing Vesicles.

Project description:We report chemically fueled oscillations of vesicles. The population cycling of vesicles is driven by their self-reproduction and collapse within a biphasic reaction network involving the interplay of molecular and supramolecular events. We studied the oscillations on the molecular and supramolecular scales and tracked vesicle populations in time by interferometric scattering microscopy and dynamic light scattering. Complex supramolecular events were observed during oscillations─including vesicle reproduction, growth, and decomposition─and differences in the number, size, and mass of aggregates can often be observed within and between pulses. This system's dynamic behavior is reminiscent of a reproductive cycle in living cells.
