    Physico-chemical, acoustic and excess properties of glycylglycine-MnCl2 in aqueous ethanol mixtures at different temperatures
    (2010) Santosh, M.S.; Bhatt, A.S.; Bhat, D.K.
    Volumetric, acoustic, refractometric, excess and deviation properties of glycylglycine-MnCl2 in aqueous ethanol mixtures have been reported at T = (288.15 to 318.15) K. Redlich-Kister equation was used to fit the derivate properties. The experimental data of the constituent binaries were analyzed to discuss the nature and strengths of intermolecular interactions. The interdependence of Lf and u has been evolved from Eyring and Kincaid model. The variations in specific acoustic impedance revealed that hydrogen bonding was predominant in the studied binary mixtures. Solvation number indicated structure-breaking tendency of the solute and weakening of local solvent structure. © 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

    Excess molar volumes, viscosity deviations and isentropic compressibility changes in glycylglycine-NiCl2 aqueous ethanol mixtures
    (2010) Santosh, M.S.; Bhat, D.K.
    The densities, viscosities and ultrasonic velocities for glycylglycine-NiCl2 in aqueous ethanol mixtures have been studied in the temperature range 288.15-318.15K. The excess molar volumes, viscosity deviations and changes in isentropic compressibility for the binary mixtures have been calculated and discussed in terms of hydrogen bonding and structure-breaking effect. The computed results are fitted to the Redlich-Kister polynomial. The results clearly indicate that there is a strong association in the mixtures studied. © 2010 Elsevier B.V.

    Acoustical and compressibility parameters of glycylglycine-FeCl3 in aqueous ethanol mixture at T = (293.15, 303.15, and 313.15) K
    (2010) Santosh, M.S.; Bhat, D.K.
    Ultrasonic velocity measurement is a reliable procedure that allows quick and easy determination of solvent concentrations in mixtures. This paper presents data of ultrasonic velocities and isentropic compressibilities of (glycylglcyine-FeCl3) in aqueous ethanol mixture at T = (293.15, 303.15, and 313.15) K. Various acoustical parameters were calculated, because of their importance in the study of specific molecular interactions. A less-compressible phase of the fluid and a closer packing of molecules is observed with changes in the intermolecular free length. Quantitative investigation suggests that the mixing of ethanol with an aqueous glycylglycine-FeCl3 solution causes the rupture of hydrogen bonds, with increasing S and Lf values (where the former represents the change in isentropic compressibility and the latter represents the intermolecular free length). Theoretically computed values of isentropic compressibility in the studied mixture using different models indicate the superiority of the very complex procedure. © 2010 American Chemical Society.

    Molecular dynamics investigation of dipeptide - Transition metal salts in aqueous solutions
    (American Chemical Society service@acs.org, 2010) Santosh, M.S.; Lyubartsev, A.; Mirzoev, A.; Bhat, D.K.
    Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of glycylglycine dipeptide with transition metal ions (Mn2+, Fe2+, Co2+, Ni2+, Cu2+, and Zn2+) in aqueous solutions have been carried out to get an insight into the solvation structure, intermolecular interactions, and salt effects in these systems. The solvation structure and hydrogen bonding were described in terms of radial distribution function (RDF) and spatial distribution function (SDF). The dynamical properties of the solvation structure were also analyzed in terms of diffusion and residence times. The simulation results show the presence of a well-defined first hydration shell around the dipeptide, with water molecules forming hydrogen bonds to the polar groups of the dipeptide. This shell is, however, affected by the strong electric field of divalent metal ions, which at higher ion concentrations lead to the shift in the dipeptide-water RDFs. Higher salt concentrations lead also to increased residence times and slower diffusion rates. In general, smaller ions (Cu2+, Zn2+) demonstrate stronger binding to dipeptide than the larger ones (Fe2+, Mn 2+). Simulations do not show any stronger association of peptide molecules indicating their dissolution in water. The above results may be of potential interest to future researchers on these molecular interactions. © 2010 American Chemical Society.

    Excess and deviation properties of {(glycylglycine + ZnCl2) in aqueous methanol} mixtures
    (2011) Santosh, M.S.; Bhat, D.K.
    The excess molar volumes (VE), viscosity deviations (??), deviations in isentropic compressibility (?? S) and excess molar refractivity (?RmE) for {(glycylglycine + ZnCl2) in aqueous methanol} mixture have been calculated from the experimental values. The bridging water molecules bend the chains into stable open ring structures together with intermolecular hydrogen bonding and interstitial accommodation leading to negative VE values. The positive ?? values indicate a structure breaking effect of aqueous glycylglycine-ZnCl2 upon contact with methanol molecules. It is also noted that chelation of zinc to glycylglycinate is through carboxylic group and not the amino group. The negative ??S values suggest the formation of an open ring structure lowering the entropy of the solution. Due to weak interaction between solute and solvent, the molecular structure of individual molecule does not change significantly and leads to negative ?RmE values. Finally, the results have lead to a good understanding of the thermodynamics properties of the studied liquid mixture. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

    Application of Prigogine-Flory-Patterson theory to volumetric, ultrasonic, and compressibility parameters of (glycylglycine + CuCl2) in aqueous ethanol mixtures
    (2011) Santosh, M.S.; Bhat, D.K.
    The molar volume and compressibility of (glycylglycine + CuCl2) in aqueous ethanol mixtures have been obtained at four different temperatures T = (288.15 to 318.15) K from ultrasonic velocity and density measurements. Excess molar volumes were found to be negative throughout the composition range indicating notable changes in hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interactions. Using the Prigogine-Flory-Patterson theory, quantitative estimation of different contributions, i.e. interactional, free volume, and P effect to VE have been obtained. The molar isentropic compressibility has been computed using the ultrasonic velocity and excess volume data. The trends in ?SE are affected by the size of the molecule leading to negative contributions. In order to compare the theoretical values of ultrasonic velocity, the equations of Nomoto and Junjie were used and found to predict the experimental data very well. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.
