Comparative studies on the voltammetric reduction of the alpha and gamma isomers of Dawson [S(2)W(18)O(62)](4)(-) and alpha, beta, and gamma forms of Keggin [SiW(12)O(40)](4)(-) polyoxometalate anions have been undertaken. For the six reversible one-electron [S(2)W(18)O(62)](4)(-)(/5)(-)(/6)(-)(/7)(-)(/8)(-)(/9)(-)(/10)(-) processes in acetonitrile, reversible potentials (E(0)(')) were found to be independent of isomeric form within experimental error (+/-5 mV). However, because both the alpha and gamma* isomers of [Bu(4)N](4)[S(2)W(18)O(62)] are insoluble in water, solid-state voltammetric studies with microcrystals adhered to electrode surfaces in contact with aqueous Et(4)NCl and Bu(4)NCl electrolyte media were also possible. Although no isomeric distinction was again detected in the solid-state studies, it was found that reduction of adhered solid by four or more electron equivalents led to rapid dissolution. When Et(4)NCl was the electrolyte, this dissolution process coupled with potential cycling experiments enabled conventional solution-phase data to be obtained in water for the analogous six one-electron reduction steps previously detected in acetonitrile. A strong medium effect attributed to Lewis acidity effects was apparent upon comparison with E(0)(') data obtained in water and acetonitrile. In contrast, with the [SiW(12)O(40)](4)(-) system, E(0)(') values for the [SiW(12)O(40)](4)(-)(/5)(-)(/6)(-)(/7)(-) processes in acetonitrile exhibited a larger (about 70 mV) dependence on isomeric form, and the isomerization step, [gamma-SiW(12)O(40)](6)(-)--> [alpha-SiW(12)O(40)](6)(-), was detected on the voltammetric time scale. The influence of isomeric form on reversible potential data is considered in terms of structural and charge density differences exhibited in the [S(2)W(18)O(62)](4)(-) and [SiW(12)O(40)](4)(-) systems studied in this paper and published data available on the alpha, beta, gamma, and gamma isomers of [As(2)W(18)O(62)](6)(-) and [P(2)W(18)O(62)](6)(-) Dawson anions and Keggin systems.

The optical rotation of (S)-(-)-alpha-methylbenzylamine at 589 nm has been measured in 39 different solvents at five different concentrations: 0.25, 0.50, 1.00, 2.00, and 3.00 M. A correlation of the intrinsic rotations (i.e., extrapolation of specific rotations to zero concentration) with Kamlet's and Taft's solvent parameters (alpha, beta, and pi) is established. The polarity/polarizability, pi, and solvent acidity, alpha, terms are found to have a greater effect upon the optical rotation than the basicity of the solvent, beta. The specific rotation for (S)-(-)-alpha-methylbenzylamine has been calculated with Gaussian03 using a PCM model (B3LYP aug-cc-pVDZ) for all 39 solvated systems. Comparisons between the experimental and calculated values show the importance of hydrogen bonding on specific rotation.

Enantioseparation of 6,6'-dibromo-1,1'-binaphthyl-2,2'-diol (DBBD) by cyclodextrin-modified capillary zone electrophoresis (CD-CZE) was studied using the three native alpha, beta, and gamma cyclodextrins, the three hydroxypropylated cyclodextrins (2-hydroxypropyl-alpha, beta, and gamma), heptakis-2,6-di-O-methyl-beta-CD (DM-beta-CD), and heptakis-2,3,6-tri-O-methyl-beta-cyclodextrin (TM-beta-CD). First, the acidity constants of DBBD were determined using capillary electrophoresis, before performing enantioseparation. The influence of the concentrations of the studied cyclodextrins on the enantioseparation was explored and the experimental optimal concentrations were determined and compared to the theoretical optimal concentrations. Moreover, the apparent complexation constants between each studied cyclodextrin and the two DBBD enantiomers were evaluated using a non-linear curve fitting method and three linear plotting methods (x-reciprocal, y-reciprocal and double reciprocal). For TM-beta-CD, the order of migration of the enantiomers of DBBD reversed as a function of TM-beta-CD concentration. The influence of the nature of methylated cyclodextrin derivatives (methyl-beta-CD (M-beta-CD) and DM-beta-CD) was then studied. Inversion of the order of migration of the enantiomers of DBBD was observed for DM-beta-CD, whereas the S enantiomer of DBBD always migrated first for M-beta-CD.
