Viability of use of a mercury electrode in the study of complex formation in the Hg(II)Thiosulphate system

O presente trabalho procura dar continuidade a uma das linhas de pesquisa desenvolvida pelo Grupo de Química Analítica do Instituto de Química da Universidade de são Paulo: o estudo da formação de complexos. O sistema Hg(II) / S2O2-3 foi analisado potenciometricamente, com a finalidade de identificar o número de complexos formados, assim como estimar as constantes de estabilidade envolvidas no fenônemo de complexação. Tal equilíbrio foi levado a termo a 25,0 ± 0,1°C, e força iônica 2,00M, sendo detectados quatro espécies complexas. O modelo matemático que melhor se ajustou aos dados experimentais fornecidos pelo sistema, conta com os seguintes valores para as constantes globais de formação: β1 1 = x 1024 M-1 (valor atribuído) β2 = (8,0 ± 2,8) x 1027 M-2 β3 = (1,71 ± 0,03) x 1030 M-3 β4 = (3,07 ± 0,77) x 1030 M-4. Na região de baixa concentração analítica de ligante, 5mM, o acesso experimental foi limitado pela precipitação de sulfeto mercúrico sendo impossível obter informaçôes sobre a primeira espécie. O comportamento do mercúrio no sistema Hg(II) / S2O2-3 foi estudado de uma forma mais abrangente, sendo estendido ao meio não complexante, onde o equilíbrio de dismutação do cátion mercuroso governa. Nas mesmas condições de temperatura e força iônica anteriores, foram obtidos alguns parâmetros desse equilibrio, a saber: - potenciais formais de eletrodo: Eo\'Hg(I) / Hg(O) = ( 0,456 ± 0,014 ) V Eo\'Hg(II) / Hg(O) = ( 0,559 ± 0,0016) V Eo\'Hg(III) / Hg(I) = ( 0, 6625 ± 0,0023 ) V - constante do equilibrio heterogêneo: Qp (potenciométrica) = (3 ± 1) x 103 Adicionalmente, foram realizados estudos eletrogravimétricos sobre o mecanismo de oxidação coulométrica do mercúrio metálico, em diversos eletrólitos suporte, merecendo destaque a estabilização do Hg(I) por cloreto, e do Hg (II) por tiossulfato, mostrando que a transferência eletrônica é um processo por etapas. Complementando o estudo do sistema, a potencialidade análitica do tiossulfato na determinação dos cátions do mercúrio foi confirmada em titulações potenciométricas.The present work belongs to one of the topics developed by the Analytical Chemistry Group in the Chemistry Institute of the são Paulo University: the study of complex formation equilibrium. The Hg(II)/S2O2-3 system was potentiometrically analysed with the purpose of identifying the number of formed complexes as well as computing their stability constants. Such equilibria study was performed at a 25.0 ± 0.1ºC temperature and 2.00 M ionic strengh, mantained with NaClO4. Four stepwise complexes have been detected by a calculus procedure based on non-linear regression. The best formation constants set is: β1 1 = x 1024 M-1 (arbitrary value) β 2 = (8,0 ± 2,8) x 1027 M-2 β3 = (1,71 ± 0,03) x 1030 M-3 β4 = (3,07 ± 0,77) x 1030 M-3. At lower ligand concentration, nearly 5mM, the experimental access was limited by the mercuric sulphide precipitation, being impossible to achieve data on the first specie. The mercury performance in the Hg(II)/S2O2-3 system was more widely studied with concern to the non-complexing media, where the disrnutation of mercurous cation leads. With the same previous temperature and ionic stengh conditions, some equilibria parameters have been determined: - electrode potentials: Eo\'Hg(I) / Hg(O) = ( 0,456 ± 0,014 ) V Eo\'Hg(II) / Hg(O) = ( 0,559 ± 0,0016) V Eo\'Hg(III) / Hg(I) = ( 0, 6625 ± 0,0023) V - heterogeneous equilibria constant: Qp = (3 ± 1) x 103. Electrogravimetric studies about the coulometric oxidation mecanism of metallic mercury have also been executed. The oxidation was carried out at several suporting electrolites, regarding the Hg(II) stabilization by the tiossulphate anion, and the Hg(I) by chloride, showing that the electrochemical transfer occurs in a step by step process. In addition to system study, the analytical potentiality of the tiossulphate on the determination of mercury cationic species was confirmed by potentiometric titulations

Characterization Of Protein Hydrolysates Of Cosmetic Use By Ce-ms.

Protein hydrolysates have been used as active principles in cosmetic products conferring different properties to the final formulations, which are mostly controlled by the peptide size and its amino acid sequence. In this work, capillary electrophoresis coupled to mass spectrometry analyses were carried out in order to investigate such characteristics of protein hydrolysates. Samples of different origins (milk, soy and rice) were obtained from a local company, and were analyzed without a previous preparation step. The background electrolyte (BGE) and sheath liquid compositions were optimized for each sample. The best BGE composition (860 mmol/L formic acid--pH 1.8--in 70:30 v/v water/methanol hydro-organic solvent) was chosen based on the overall peak resolution whereas the best sheath liquid was selected based on increased sensitivity and presented different compositions to each sample (10.9-217 mmol/L formic acid in 75:25-25:75 v/v water/methanol hydro-organic solvent). Most of the putative peptides in the hydrolysate samples under investigation presented molecular masses of 1000 Da or less. De novo sequencing was carried out for some of the analytes, revealing the hydrophobicity/polarity of the peptides. Hence, the technique has proved to be an advantageous tool for the quality control of industrial protein hydrolysates.34947-5

CE-MS for the Analysis of Amino Acids

Amino acids play an important role in clinical analysis. Capillary electrophoresis-electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (CE-ESI-MS) has proven to possess several characteristics that make it a powerful and useful tool for the analysis of amino acids in clinical studies. Here we present a method for the separation and quantitative analysis of 27 amino acids in urine based on CE-ESI-MS. The method presents an improved resolution between the isomers Leu, Ile, and aIle, in comparison to other CE-ESI-MS methods in the literature. This method is fast, selective, and simple and has improved sensitivity by applying a pH-mediated stacking strategy, showing that it can be successfully used for amino acid analysis and probably for other small cationic metabolites.status: publishe
