Abstract:
... Salt ions were found to have an influence on template binding to two model molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs), targeted to penicillin G and propranolol, respectively, in water-acetonitrile mixtures. Water was detrimental to rebinding of penicillin G whereas propranolol bound in the entire water-acetonitrile range tested. In 100% aqueous solution, 3-M salt solutions augmented the binding of both ...

... A palladium-catalyzed diamination domino process of sulfamates arising from glycine allylamides is reported. The reaction leads to the formation of [1,2,5]thiadiazolo-fused piperazinones. The essential feature of the synthetic route is the use of PdCl₂(MeCN)₂/CuBr₂, as a catalytic system which promotes the second amination process, leading to the bicycle ring-fused compounds in good yields. ...

... Molybdenum precipitates preferentially under reducing conditions; therefore, its occurrence in sediment records is used as an indicator of paleoredox conditions. Although thiomolybdates (MoO₄–ₓSₓ²– with x = 1–4) supposedly are necessary intermediates in the process of molybdenum precipitation under anoxic conditions, there is no information about their abundance in natural environments, because of ...

Nowadays most LC-MS methods rely on tandem mass spectrometry not only for quantitation and confirmation of compounds by multiple reaction monitoring (MRM), but also for the identification of unknowns from their product ion spectra. However, gas-phase reactions between charged and neutral species inside the mass analyzer can occur, yielding product ions at m/z values higher than that of the precurs ...
