Kinetic analysis of the reaction between d(TTGGCCAA) and [Pt(NH3)3(H2O)]2+ by enzymatic degradation of the products and ESI and MALDI mass spectrometries

The kinetics of the reaction between the octanucleotide d(TTGGCCAA) in the single-stranded form in pure water and the platinum complex [Pt(NH3)3(H2O)]2+ was investigated by electrospray ionization and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometries coupled with enzymatic degradation of the adducts. These methods led to the determination of specific rate constants of platination. The global rate constant characteristic of the formation of adducts on each 5'- or 3'-guanine were measured by electrospray ionization analysis. The ratios between the 5'- and 3'-adducts were determined from enzymatic degradation of the final reaction mixture and MALDI analysis. The platination in water is approximately eight times faster than in 0.1 M NaClO4. The selectivity of platination is a factor of 2 in favor of the 5'-guanine, and similar to that observed for the reaction between d(CTGGCTCA) and [Pt(NH3)3(H2O)]2+ in 0.1 M NaClO4.     

A determination of the HDO/H2O ratio in comet C/1995 O1 (Hale-Bopp)

Deuterated water (HDO) was detected in comet C/1995 O1 (Hale-Bopp) with the use of the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope on Mauna Kea, Hawaii. The inferred D/H ratio in Hale-Bopp's water is (3.3 +/- 0.8) x 10(-4). This result is consistent with in situ measurements of comet P/Halley and the value found in C/1996 B2 (Hyakutake). This D/H ratio, higher than that in terrestrial water and more than 10 times the value for protosolar H2, implies that comets cannot be the only source for the oceans on Earth.

Determination of the standard gibbs energy for the reaction of 3BaO (s) + 2Cr (s) + 3/2O2 (g) = 3Ba0 · Cr2O3 (s)

The standard Gibbs energy of formation of 3BaO · Cr₂O₃ has been measured by a chemical equilibrium technique and is expressed as follows: 3BaO (s) + 2Cr (s) + 3/2 O₂ (g) = 3BaO · Cr₂O₃ (s) ΔG^o = -1,260,000 (±3000) + 282 (±24)r(J/mol) The activity coefficient of chromium in copper, which was needed for the foregoing measurement, may be expressed by the following equation: 5790 log γ _Cr ^{o =5790/T-2.10} The value of standard Gibbs energy at 1573 K was found to be close to that of reaction of formation of CaO · Cr₂O₃ expressed in the similar form. The BaO saturated BaF₂ flux is shown to be far more promising in the oxidative dephosphorization of chromium-containing hot metal in comparison with the CaO-SiO₂-CaF₂ flux doubly saturated with CaO and 3CaO-Cr₂O₃.
