- Self-diffusion in a bitumen emulsion was studied by H-1 NMR. The emulsion forms two phases: continuous and dispersed. The continuous aqueous phase contains mainly water, with the energy of activation of the diffusion process equal to that of bulk water, while its diffusivity is smaller than that of bulk water by a factor of 2. The dispersed phase consists of bitumen droplets containing confined water, whose dynamics is characterized by a fully restricted diffusion regime in cavities with sizes of similar to 0.11 mu m. Therefore, the studied bitumen emulsion can be described by a model of a complex multiple emulsion of the water/oil/water (WOW) type. The suggested model does agree well with data from H-1 NMR spectroscopy and diffusometry of the bitumen emulsion doped with paramagnetic MnSO4(aq) as well as with an additional H-1 NMR study of the emulsion structure, in which emulsion stability was compromised by freezing at 253 K.

- We used 1H pulsed field gradient (PFG) NMR to study the self-diffusion of polyethylene glycol (PEG) with average molecular mass of 200 and ions in mixtures of PEG with imidazolium bis(mandelato)borate (BMB) and imidazolium bis(oxalato)borate (BOB) ionic liquids (ILs). The ionic liquid was mixed with PEG in the concentration range of 0–100 wt%. Within the temperature range of 295 to 353 K, the diffusion coefficient of BMB is slower than that of the imidazolium cation. The diffusion coefficients of PEG, as well as the imidazolium cation and BMB anions, differ under all experimental conditions tested. This demonstrates that the IL in the mixture is present in at least a partially dissociated state. Generally, increasing the concentration of PEG leads to an increase in the diffusion coefficients of PEG and both the ions, and decreases their activation energy for diffusion. NMR chemical shift alteration analysis showed that the presence of PEG changes the chemical shifts of both ions but in different directions. Impedance spectroscopy was used to measure the ionic conductivity of the ionic liquids mixed with PEG.

- Crystalline polymeric thallium(I) morpholinedithiocarbamate [Tl2{S2CN(CH2)4O}2]n (I) and the heteronuclear ion–polymeric gold(III)–thalium(III) complex ([Au{S2CN(CH2)4O}2][TlCl4])n (II) are preparatively isolated and characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis and 13C MAS NMR spectroscopy. According to the X-ray diffraction data, the main structural units of compounds I and II (CIF files CCDC 1548079 and 1548080) are presented by the binuclear centrosymmetric molecule [Tl2{S2CN(CH2)4O}2], noncentrosymmetric complex cation [Au{S2CN(CH2)4O{2]+, and isomeric complex anions [TlCl4]–. The formation of the three-dimensional polymeric structure (coordination number of Tl is 7), which is not characteristic of thallium(I) dithiocarbamates, is a consequence of the participation of the secondary Tl…O and Tl…S bonds of two types in the supramolecular self-organization of compound I. Nonequivalent secondary interactions of the first type join the binuclear molecules [Tl2{S2CN(CH2)4O}2] into polymer layers, which, in turn, form the three-dimensional polymeric framework due to the secondary bonds Tl…S. The revealed ability of freshly precipitated compound I to the chemisorption of gold(III) from solutions (2 M HCl) makes it possible to obtain heteronuclear supramolecular complex II as an individual form of binding. In the structure of the latter, the pairs of stronger secondary Au…S bonds join the gold(III) cations into dimers [Au2{S2CN(CH2)4O}4]2+ of the angular structure, the structural ordering of which is achieved in the cationcationic polymeric chain ([Au2{S2CN(CH2)4O}4]2+)n of the helical type involving the pairs of less strong Au…S bonds between the adjacent binuclear units. The distorted tetrahedral anions [TlCl4]– are localized between the polymeric chains. The study of the thermal behavior of compounds I and II by simultaneous thermal analysis makes it possible to establish the character of thermal transformations of the substances and to identify Tl2S (I), TlCl, and elemental gold (II) as thermolysis products

Aggregation of amyloid Aβ(1-40) peptide in perdeuterated 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol caused by ultrasound sonication

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Ultrasound sonication of protein and peptide solutions is routinely used in biochemical, biophysical, pharmaceutical and medical sciences to facilitate and accelerate dissolution of macromolecules in both aqueous and organic solvents. However, the impact of ultrasound waves on folding/unfolding of treated proteins, in particular, on aggregation kinetics of amyloidogenic peptides and proteins is not understood. In this work, effects of ultrasound sonication on the misfolding and aggregation behavior of the Alzheimer's Aβ(1–40)-peptide is studied by pulsed-field gradient (PFG) spin–echo diffusion NMR and UV circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy. Upon simple dissolution of Aβ(1–40) in perdeuterated trifluoroethanol, CF3-CD2-OD (TFE-d3), the peptide is present in the solution as a stable monomer adopting α-helical secondary structural motifs. The self-diffusion coefficient of Aβ(1–40) monomers in TFE-d3 was measured as 1.35 × 10−10 m2 s−1, reflecting its monomeric character. However, upon ultrasonic sonication for less than 5 min, considerable populations of Aβ molecules (ca 40%) form large aggregates as reflected in diffusion coefficients smaller than 4.0 × 10−13 m2 s−1. Sonication for longer times (up to 40 min in total) effectively reduces the fraction of these aggregates in 1H PFG NMR spectra to ca 25%. Additionally, absorption below 230 nm increased significantly upon sonication treatment, an observation, which also clearly confirms the ongoing aggregation process of Aβ(1–40) in TFE-d3. Surprisingly, upon ultrasound sonication only small changes in the peptide secondary structure were detected by CD: the peptide molecules mainly adopt α-helical motifs in both monomers and aggregates formed upon sonication.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Non-halogenated boron-based ionic liquids (ILs) composed of phosphonium cations and chelated orthoborate anions have high hydrolytic stability, low melting point and exceptional properties for various applications. This study is focused on ILs with the same type of cation, trihexyltetradecylphosphonium ([P6,6,6,14]+), and two orthoborate anions, such as bis(salicylato)borate ([BScB]−) and bis(oxalato)borate ([BOB]−). We compare the results of this study with our previous studies on ILs with bis(mandelato)borate ([BMB]−) and a variety of different cations (tetraalkylphosphonium, dialkylpyrrolidinium and dialkylimidazolium). The ion dynamics and phase behavior of these ILs is studied using 1H and 11B pulsed-field-gradient (PFG) NMR. PFG NMR is demonstrated to be a useful tool to elucidate the dynamics of ions in this class of phosphonium orthoborate ILs. In particular, the applicability of 11B PFG NMR for studying anions without 1H, such as [BOB]−, and the limitations of this technique to measure self-diffusion of ions in ILs are demonstrated and discussed in detail for the first time.

Diffusivity of ethylammonium nitrate protic ionic liquid confined in porous glasses

In: Journal of Molecular Liquids. - : Elsevier. - 0167-7322 .- 1873-3166. ; 356
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- We studied the diffusion of ionic liquid ethylammonium nitrate confined within pores of two types of porous glass, Vycor and Varapor, with average pore sizes of 4 nm and 9.8 nm, respectively, by 1H NMR in the temperature range of 295–325 K. The diffusional behavior of the ionic liquid corresponds to long-term diffusion in a system of interconnected pores. It was shown that the diffusivity of EAN confined in Varapor is controlled by the porous system’s tortuosity and does need to take into consideration the interaction with the surface of the discrete pore walls. In the case of Vycor, the long-term diffusivity is a factor 1.5 lower than that expected in the absence of interaction with the pore walls. Two possible mechanisms that may explain this discrepancy are the EAN-surface interaction and retardation of EAN diffusion compared to n-decane in smaller pores present in Vycor porous glass due to pore size distribution. Confinement of EAN in nanoporous glass does not leads to the EAN phase transformation observed earlier for alkylammonium nitrates enclosed in a micrometer-sized layer. Prolonged exposure of EAN to a strong static magnetic field does not leads to changes in the NMR and diffusivity of EAN over time.

Dynamics of ethylammonium nitrate near PTFE surface

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Self-diffusion of ions in the protic ionic liquid ethylammonium nitrate (EAN) was studied by 1H NMR pulsed field gradient techniques between 294 and 393 K in the presence of a PTFE insert in a 5-mm NMR tube. At all temperatures, the bulk diffusion of ions (measured by 1H and 15N NMR) can be described by a unique diffusion coefficient. The presence of solid hydrophobic surfaces of PTFE induces regions of EAN in their vicinity, where diffusion of ions, both cations and anions, is reduced compared to the bulk values. An additional line-shape analysis in 1H NMR spectra showed that local mobility of ethylammonium cations in the surface layers near PTFE is also reduced.

Effect of rotating magnetic field on the diffusivity of ethylammonium nitrate ionic liquid confined between micrometer-spaced glass plates

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- We studied changes in the diffusion coefficients in layers of EAN confined between glass plates, placed in a strong magnetic field with a magnetic flux density B0, and rotated around the axis directed along and normal to B0. Under the rotational conditions along B0, the diffusion coefficient decreases with time after placement in the magnetic field at the same rate as for a static sample, observed previously (Filippov and Antzutkin, Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys. 2018. 20. 6316). However, when the EAN layers are rotating around the axis perpendicular to B0, the duration of exposure to the magnetic field does not affect the diffusion coefficient until the rotation stops. On the other hand, the diffusivity after extended exposure to a static magnetic field increases as the sample starts to rotate around the axis perpendicular to B0. The observed effects are due to either the periodic change in the orientation of the thin surface layers of EAN or inhomogeneity of B0 in the sample due to the B0 fluctuation.

- Self-diffusion and NMR relaxation of the ethylammonium (EA) cation were studied in the protic ionic liquid, ethylammonium nitrate (EAN), confined between polar glass plates separated by a few μm distance and exposed to an external magnetic field of 9.4 T. The diffusion coefficient of EA (D) and the transverse NMR relaxation rate (1/T2) of –NH3 protons were increased immediately after placing the sample in the magnetic field by factors of ∼2 and ∼22, respectively, in comparison with those of bulk EAN. Further exposure of the sample to the magnetic field led to gradual changes in D, T1 and T2 towards their bulk values with a time constant of ∼70 min. Complete “recovery” of the sample to the “accelerated” D and “shortened” T2 values occurred at longer than 24 hours after the removal of the EAN sample from the magnet. Because the observed characteristic times of the change far exceed the times of molecular processes in EAN, we suggested that this phenomenon is related to reversible phase transformations occurring in confined EAN.
