Abstract
Abstract Knowledge of the protonation constants of dipeptides is important and necessary for complete understanding of their physiochemical behavior. The effect of dielectric constant of medium on protonation equilibria has been studied by determining protonation constants of glycylglycine pH-metrically in various concentrations (0–60%v/v) of acetonitrile–water and ethylene glycol–water mixtures, at an ionic strength of 0.16 mol L−1 and at 303.0 ± 0.1 K. The protonation constants were calculated with the computer program MINIQUAD75 and selection of the best fit chemical models is based on the statistical parameters. Linear and non-linear variations of stepwise protonation constants with reciprocal of dielectric constant of the solvent mixtures have been attributed to the dominance of electrostatic and non-electrostatic forces, respectively. Distribution of species, protonation equilibria, and effect of influential parameters on the protonation constants have also been presented.
期刊介绍:
Chemical Speciation & Bioavailability ( CS&B) is a scholarly, peer-reviewed forum for insights on the chemical aspects of occurrence, distribution, transport, transformation, transfer, fate, and effects of substances in the environment and biota, and their impacts on the uptake of the substances by living organisms. Substances of interests include both beneficial and toxic ones, especially nutrients, heavy metals, persistent organic pollutants, and emerging contaminants, such as engineered nanomaterials, as well as pharmaceuticals and personal-care products as pollutants. It is the aim of this Journal to develop an international community of experienced colleagues to promote the research, discussion, review, and spread of information on chemical speciation and bioavailability, which is a topic of interest to researchers in many disciplines, including environmental, chemical, biological, food, medical, toxicology, and health sciences.
Key themes in the scope of the Journal include, but are not limited to, the following “6Ms”:
Methods for speciation analysis and the evaluation of bioavailability, especially the development, validation, and application of novel methods and techniques.
Media that sustain the processes of release, distribution, transformation, and transfer of chemical speciation; of particular interest are emerging contaminants, such as engineered nanomaterials, pharmaceuticals, and personal-care products.
Mobility of substance species in environment and biota, either spatially or temporally.
Matters that influence the chemical speciation and bioavailability, mainly environmentally relevant conditions.
Mechanisms that govern the transport, transformation, transfer, and fate of chemical speciation in the environment, and the biouptake of substances.
Models for the simulation of chemical speciation and bioavailability, and for the prediction of toxicity.
Chemical Speciation & Bioavailability is a fully open access journal. This means all submitted articles will, if accepted, be available for anyone to read, anywhere, at any time. immediately on publication. There are no charges for submission to this journal.
