A chromatographic and computational study on the driving force operating in the exceptionally large enantioseparation of N-thiocarbamoyl-3-(4 -biphenyl)-5-phenyl-4,5-dihydro-(1H) pyrazole on a 4-methylbenzoate cellulose-based chiral stationary phase
No full textThis paper describes the results obtained in the HPLC enantioseparation of N-thiocarbamoy1-3-(4'-biphenyl)-5-phenyl-4,5-dihydro-(1H) pyrazole on a cellulose tris(4-methylbenzoate) chiral stationary phase (OJ-3 CSP) using normal-phase and polar organic conditions. The enantioseparation factor (alpha = 207) observed using the mixture n-hexane-2-propanol 70:30 as a mobile phase is among the highest values ever reported in enantioselective HPLC. The enantioseparation process was investigated by means of molecular modelling techniques. Chromatographic and theoretical investigations addressed the extreme affinity of the most CSP retained (S)-enantiomer to the intermolecular H bond network between the ligand thioamide group and the stationary phase O atoms.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
A chromatographic study on the exceptional enantioselectivity of cellulose tris(4-methylbenzoate) towards C5-chiral 4,5-dihydro-(1H)-pyrazole derivatives
No full textA set of ten C5-chiral 4,5-dihydro-(1. H)-pyrazole derivatives was synthesized and analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) on the polysaccharide-based Chiralcel OJ-H chiral stationary phase (CSP). The enantioseparations were carried out using pure ethanol as eluent. Different structural elements of the investigated compounds were recognized for obtaining a very high enantioselectivity. In order to clarify some aspects of the chiral discrimination process, the thermodynamic parameters associated to the enantiorecognition and the enantiomer elution order were established. © 2011 Elsevier B.V
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Perturbing Effects of Chiral Stationary Phase on Enantiomerization Second-Order Rate Constants Determined by Enantioselective Dynamic High-Performance Liquid Chromatography: A Practical Tool to Quantify the Accessible Acid and Basic Catalytic Sites Bonded on Chromatographic Supports
No full textSecond-order rate constants of the diethylamine-promoted enantiomerization of 2-[2-(1-methyl-1H-pyrrol-2-yl)-2-oxo-1-phenylethyl]-isoindole-1,3-dione, a chiral a-substituted ketone endowed with high anti-MAO activity type-A, were measured by dynamic high-performance liquid chromatography (DHPLC), stopped-flow high-performance liquid chromatography (sf-HPLC), and a classical method based on enantioselective HPLC as the monitoring tool. The chiral column used in all determinations was the commercial Chiralpak AD. By comparison of the obtained data, perturbing effects of the stationary phase on the DHPLC and sf-HPLC determinations were highlighted and distinguished in indirect (SPIPC) and direct (SPDPC) type. It was evidenced that SPDPC noise effects may be completely erased by simple mathematical treatment of data obtained at different concentrations of the basic catalyst. Perturbations of type SPIPC may instead only be partially kept down by modulating the concentration of the basic catalyst. An estimation of the density distribution of catalytic sites covalently bonded to the stationary phase (SP) of the Chiralpak AD was performed exploiting the quantified SPDPC effects. Such an approach might be of general application, supplying a useful way to characterize the attitude of SPs to speed acid- or base-catalyzed equilibria possibly active during chromatographic separations
Semipreparative HPLC Enantioseparation, Chiroptical Properties, and Absolute Configuration of Two Novel Cyclooxygenase-2 Inhibitors
No full textA direct semipreparative HPLC enantioseparation of two chiral thiazolidinone derivatives having cyclooxygenase-2 inhibition activity was performed on the Chiralpak IA chiral stationary phase. Semipreparative amounts of enantiopure forms were collected using acetonitrile-ethanol-trifluoroacetic acid mixtures as mobile phase. The absolute configuration of both compounds was unequivocally established by single-crystal X-ray diffraction method and correlated to the chiroptical properties of isolated enantiomers.
