Abstract
An apparatus and methodology for variable temperature infrared spectroscopy measurements of neat samples contained in a button sample holder are described. Sample heating and cooling are achieved by applying voltage to stacked Peltier thermoelectric devices. Between 0 and 150 °C, samples can be heated and cooled at 2 °C s-1 rates, facilitating temperature step heating/cooling profiles with minimal delay between isothermal infrared spectrum measurements. Examples of correlating temperature-dependent spectral variations with specific sample changes are provided for α-quartz heating/cooling, ibuprofen melting, and acetylsalicylic acid thermal decomposition. Trends in α-quartz infrared spectra obtained with a step heating/cooling temperature profile are used to evaluate spectrum measurement reproducibility. Detection of vibration band intensity variations of less than 1% resulting from a 10 °C sample temperature increment illustrates the measurement sensitivity. By comparing infrared spectra obtained at different temperatures, reversible and irreversible sample changes are identified. Infrared spectra acquired during linear ramp heating are employed to determine the ibuprofen melting point, which confirms the temperature measurement accuracy of the apparatus. Selective analysis is demonstrated by determining isoconversion effective activation energies for processes involved in the thermal decomposition of the acetylsalicylic acid component of a commercial pharmaceutical tablet.

Abstract
AbstractDegradation kinetic study ascertains the shelf life of drugs under different environmental conditions. It can facilitate the prediction of specific critical factors that can affect the quality of pharmaceuticals during storage. To date, general systematic strategies for performing degradation kinetics of drugs have not been discussed in any literature. Moreover, no regulatory guideline is available on the degradation kinetic study of pharmaceuticals. Owing to this, the kinetic behavior of drugs is not being analyzed uniformly. This article provides a detailed insight into degradation kinetic approaches including criticality in selecting different variables for the study. Factors that can affect the quality of degradation kinetic study data have been critically discussed. In addition, a systematic strategy to perform degradation kinetic study with advanced degradation models has been discussed. This article will be helpful for the researcher working in the field of stability analysis and guide to select a logical path for determining the kinetic behavior of drugs. High-quality degradation kinetic data through the properly designed study will help to establish accurate storage conditions of pharmaceuticals. This article is unique and novel of its kind and would have a significant contribution to the field of stability analysis.

Abstract
Among different biological effects of acetylsalicylic acid (ASA), its anticancer property is controversial. Since ASA hydrolyzes rapidly to salicylic acid (SA), especially in the blood, interaction of both ASA and SA (as the small molecules) with ctDNA, oligo(dA·dT)15 and oligo(dG·dC)15, as a possible mechanism of their action, is investigated here. The results show that the rate of ASA hydrolysis in the absence and presence of ctDNA is similar. The spectrophotometric results indicate that both ASA and SA cooperatively bind to ctDNA. The binding constants (K) are (1.7±0.7)×10(3) M(-1) and (6.7±0.2)×10(3) M(-1) for ASA and SA, respectively. Both ligands quench the fluorescence emission of ethidium bromide (Et)-ctDNA complex. The Scatchard plots indicate the non-displacement based quenching (non-intercalative binding). The circular dichroism (CD) spectra of ASA- or SA-ctDsNA complexes show the minor distortion of ctDNA structure, with no characteristic peaks for intercalation of ligands. Tm of ctDNA is decreased up to 3°C upon ASA binding. The CD results also indicate more distortions on oligo(dG·dC)15 structure due to the binding of both ASA and SA in comparison with oligo(dA·dT)15. All data indicate the more affinity for SA binding with DNA minor groove in comparison with ASA which has more hydrophobic character.

Abstract
A combined kinetic and DFT study of the uncatalyzed isomerization of cationic solvent complexes of the type cis-[Pt(R')(S)(PR3)2]+ (R' = linear and branched alkyls or aryls and S = solvents) to their trans isomers has shown that the reaction goes through the rate-determining dissociative loss of the weakly bonded molecule of the solvent and the interconversion of two geometrically distinct T-shaped 14-electron three-coordinate intermediates. The Pt-S dissociation energy is strongly dependent on the coordinating properties of S and independent of the nature of R'. The energy barrier for the fluxional motion of [Pt(R')(PR3)2]+ is comparatively much lower ( approximately 8-21 kJ mol-1). The presence of beta-hydrogens on the alkyl chain (R' = Et, Prn, and Bun) produces a great acceleration of the reaction rate. This accelerating effect has been defined as the beta-hydrogen kinetic effect, and it is a consequence of the stabilization of the transition state and of the cis-like three-coordinate [Pt(R')(PR3)2]+ intermediate through an incipient agostic interaction. The DFT optimization of [Pt(R')(PMe3)2]+ (R' = Et, Prn, and Bun) reproduces a classical dihapto Pt....eta2-HC agostic mode between the unsaturated metal and a dangling C-H bond. The value of the agostic stabilization energy (in the range of approximately 21-33 kJ mol-1) was estimated by both kinetic and computational data and resulted in being independent of the length of the hydrocarbon chain of the organic moiety. A better understanding of such interactions in elusive reaction intermediates is of primary importance in the control of reaction pathways, especially for alkane activation by metal complexes.

Abstract
The present work deals with the effects of structural variables of celluloses on their dissolution in the solvent system LiCl/N,N-dimethylacetamide, LiCl/DMAc. Celluloses from fast growing sources (sisal and linters), as well as microcrystalline cellulose (avicel PH-101) were studied. The following structural variables were investigated: index of crystallinity, I(c); crystallite size; polymer porosity; and degree of polymerization determined by viscosity, DPv. Mercerization of fibrous celluloses was found to decrease DPv, I(c), the specific surface area, and the ratio pore volume/radius. The relevance of the structural properties of cellulose to its dissolution is discussed. Rate constants and activation parameters of cellulose decrystallization, prior to its solubilization, have been determined under nonisothermal conditions. The kinetic parameters calculated showed that dissolution is accompanied with small, negative enthalpy and a large, negative entropy of activation.

Abstract
Variable-parameter kinetic experiments were carried out using HPLC as analytical instrument. The hydrolysis of aspirin was followed both at variable-temperature and at variable-pH conditions. The peak areas relative to salicylic acid were processed by direct fit to a mathematical model and/or by differential method obtaining, by single experiments, the values of the apparent rate constant in the whole range of temperature and pH studied. The results, although the discontinuity of this kind of analysis, are in agreement with those obtained by constant-parameter kinetics but saving experimental time.

Abstract
The dependence of the pseudo-first-order rate constant on the ionic strength for the alkaline hydrolysis of indomethacin has been obtained, for the first time, in a single kinetic experiment carried out by varying with time the salt concentration inside the reaction vessel. The kinetic profile obtained was processed using as a mathematical model the variable-parameter kinetic equation containing the Bronsted-Bjerrum equation as the dependence function. The results are in good agreement with those obtained by the traditional method but the experimental time is reduced to about one-tenth.

Abstract
The methods of thermal analysis and mass spectrometry have been used to study the kinetics and mechanism of the anhydrous thermal decomposition of acetylsalicylic acid. Both thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) show that decomposition occurs in two steps. Mass-spectrometric analysis of the residue left after the first decomposition step (approximately equal to 60% mass loss) suggests that in the condensed phase, acetylsalicylic acid decomposes by first forming linear oligomers that are further converted into cyclic oligomers. Model-free isoconversional kinetic analysis of TGA traces has been used to determine global activation energies as a function of the extent of reaction. This method of analysis has also been used to make kinetic predictions of shelf life at ambient temperatures (20-40 degrees C) under anhydrous conditions for acetylsalicylic acid. Our estimate of a shelf life of 876 days (approximately equal to 2.4 years) for 5% decomposition at 30 degrees C is in good agreement with shelf lives of 2-3 years that are stamped on over-the-counter aspirin bottles. Hence, this approach can be used to systematically study the factors that determine the decomposition kinetics of aspirin and may be used for express screening of pharmaceuticals in order to identify those with desirable thermal stabilities.

Abstract
The complete pH-rate profile of the hydrolysis reaction of aspirin, requiring many experiments in the past, was obtained by a single variable-parameter kinetic experiment carried out by varying the hydrogen ion concentration. The experiment was carried out spectrophotometrically, reading automatically absorbance, pH, and temperature inside the reaction vessel. The results obtained by the fast processing of the kinetic profile are identical to those obtained under the same conditions but using traditional constant-pH kinetic runs. This method provides the possibility of reducing the amount of time and chemicals usually spent in collecting kinetic data in such mechanistic studies by nearly two orders of magnitude.

Abstract
The pseudo-first order rate constant for the hydrolysis of cinnoxicam as a function of temperature was obtained by variable-temperature kinetic experiments. The method used is on a generalization of non-isothermal analysis, and takes advantage of the capabilities of modern data collection and processing systems. A spectrophotometric method under non isothermal conditions was carried out. The results obtained are identical to those obtained under the same conditions by using traditional constant-temperature kinetic runs. This provides the possibility of reducing the amount of time spent and chemicals usually used in collecting kinetic data in mechanistic studies in solution by an order of magnitude.

Abstract
Complexes of the type cis-[PtL(2)Me(2)] (1-14) (L = an extended series of phosphines of widely different steric and electronic properties) were synthesized, characterized, and used as precursors for the formation of cis-monoalkylplatinum(II) solvento species in methanol. The cleavage of the first platinum-alkyl bond by protonolysis is a fast process, but the subsequent cis to trans isomerization of the cationic solvento species [PtL(2)(Me)(MeOH)](+) is relatively slow and it can be( )()monitored using (31)P NMR or conventional spectrophotometry. A large collection of (1)H and (31)P NMR data for cis-[PtL(2)Me(2)], cis-[PtL(2)Me(MeOH)](+), and trans-[PtL(2)Me(MeOH)](+) complexes showed interesting dependencies upon the size, the sigma-donor capacity, and the mutual position of the phosphines in the coordination sphere of the metal. The rate constants for isomerization of cis-[PtL(2)Me(MeOH)](+) were resolved quantitatively into steric and electronic contributions of the phosphine ligands, by means of correlations with parameters which reflect their sigma-donor ability (chi values) and steric requirements (Tolman's cone angles, theta). The electronic and steric profiles obtained for these reactions are discussed within the framework of a mechanism which involves dissociative loss of the solvent molecule and interconversion of two geometrically distinct 3-coordinate T-shaped 14-electron intermediates. The factors controlling the stability of these coordinatively unsaturated species are discussed. The electronic and steric influences of phosphines as "spectator" ligands in a dissociative process are compared with those shown by these ligands when used as nucleophiles in associative substitution processes. The activation parameters DeltaH() and DeltaS() were measured using both conventional isothermal and non-isothermal spectrophotometric kinetics.
