The corresponding precipitates were characterized by Forie Transformed Infrared(FTIR) and Extended XRay Absorption Fine Structure(EXAFS) spectroscopy. The experimental results indicate that rare earth ions tend to produce periodic precipitation, and the pattern precipitates are just the corresponding rare earth cholate complexes.展开更多

For prepared SLMs, toluene as organic phase and film of polyvinylidene difluoride, as hydrophobic polymer support with 100 μm in thickness and 0.45 μm as the diameter of the pores. The macroscopic parameters (P and J0) on the transport of these ions were determined for different medium temperatures. For these different environments, the prepared SLMs were highly permeable and a clear evolution of these parameters was observed. The parameter J0 depended on the temperature according to the Arrhenius equation. The activation parameters, Ea, ΔH≠ and ΔS≠, for the transition state on the reaction of complex formation (ST) , were determined. To explain these results for this phenomenon, and achieve a better extraction of the substrate, a model based on the substrate complexation by the carrier and the diffusion of the formed complex (ST) was developed. The experimental results verify this model and determine the microscopic parameters (Kass and D*). These studies show that these parameters Kass and D* are specific to facilitated transport of Cr(III) ions by each of the carriers and they are changing significantly with temperature.展开更多

Treatment mass fraction of 10% cholate at room temperature for 48 h had no obvious effect on the structure of bR, yet changed the composition of the purple membrane, making cholate treated bR more stable in alkaline solution than native bR.展开更多

MB is strongly fluorescent, with an emission peak at 686 nm(λ_(ex)665 nm). In the study,the possibility of MB as an extrinsic fluorophore to study the micellization behavior of bile salts(BSs) was carried out. Since BSs are drug delivery systems, the solubilization of hydrophobic MB drug molecule by BSs was achieved and the nature of association of MB with BS media, namely sodium cholate(Na C) and sodium deoxycholate(Na DC) was evaluated. Change in the photophysical properties of MB is monitored through fluorescence intensity and fluorescence anisotropy at emission peak, 686 nm of MB. Molecular mechanics calculations were carried out to evaluate the MB–BS association. The estimated heat of formation, ΔH_f values are –625.19 kcal/mol for MB–Na C and –757.48 kcal/mol for MB–Na DC. The photophysical study also revealed that MB reports the step-wise aggregation pattern of BSs media, as an extrinsic fluorescence probe.展开更多

The variation in the superficial tension as a function of the time after formation of solutions containing PEO and NaC was characterized by monitoring the time required for the system to reach equilibrium between the micellar and aqueous phases. These results could serve as a reference for the minimum aging time required for solutions before any surface tension measurements can be performed.展开更多
