The reaction shows a first-order dependence of the rate each on [BAT]0 and [piperazine]0, and an inverse fractional-order dependence on [H+]. The additions of halide ions and the reduction product of BAT, p-toluenesulfonamide, have no effect on the reaction rate. The variation of ionic strength of the solvent medium has no influence on the rate. Activation parameters have been evaluated from the Arrhenius and Eyring plots. A common mechanism consistent with the kinetic data has been proposed for all piperazines. The protonation constants of substrates have been evaluated. The Hammett linear free-energy relationship has been observed for the reaction with ρ = ?0.5 indicating that the electron-donating groups enhance the reaction rate by stabilizing the transition state. An isokinetic relationship observed shows β = 368 K indicating the dominance of enthalpy factors on the reaction rate.展开更多

The significance of the surface tension has been increasing due to its consideration in various technological fields. This property influences the mass transfer and hydrodynamics of gas absorption systems, mainly multiphase systems, in which the interface between gas and liquid exists. Therefore, in this study, surface tension of aqueous solutions of sodium L-prolinate(SP) and piperazine(PZ) blends were measured at ten different temperatures from(298.15 to 343.15) K. The SP mass fractions were 0.10, 0.20, and 0.30;while the mass fractions of PZ were 0.02 and 0.05. The experimental results showed that the surface tension increase with increasing the mass fractions of SP and PZ in aqueous blends, and decrease linearly with rising temperature. The experimental data of surface tension were correlated by two empirical correlations as a function of temperature and mass fractions for estimating the predicted data using the optimized correlation coefficients. Moreover, the modeling of surface tension data was carried out using Artificial Neural Network(ANN) approach. The results obtianed from ANN modeling were compared with applied empirical correlation. It was found that the ANN approach outperformed the empirical correlation used in this study. Besides, a quantitative analysis of variation(ANOVA) was performed in order to determine the significance of data. The surface tension of aqueous SP and SP + PZ was also compared with various conventional solvents.展开更多

Single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies reveal that 1 is a 3D structure based on a dinuclear unit {Cd2（N3）a（Baep）}, in which the Baep ligands formed in situ display two different bridging modes. Compound 2 also has a 3D structure based on a tetranuclear cluster {Cda（N3）8（CH3OH）2（Bapp）}, in which the azido anions exhibit four different bridging modes （μ-1,1, μ-1,3, μ-l,l,1 and μ-1,1,3）.

Methods: Fourteen title compounds were synthesized and confirmed by the elementary analysis, 1HNMR and IR spectra. Five deep fungal strains and 3 shallow fungal strains were chosen as the experimental strains.Minimum inhibitory concentrations(MICs) of all title compounds were determined by the method recommended by the National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards (NCCLS) using RPMI 1640 test medium. Results: Among the 14 title compounds, 12 were first reported. The results of preliminary antifungal test showed that all the title compounds exhibited potent antifungal activities to a certain extent. The activity of 4 compounds were more than 4 times as high as that of fluconazole and equal to that of ketoconazole against Candida albicans in vitro(MIC 80 value≤0.125 μg/ml). Conclusion: Introduction of a side chain containing 4-substituted acyl piperazin-1-yl into the main part of fluconazole has important influence on antifungal activities of title compounds.展开更多
