The formation constants of the nicotinamide H-complexes with protonic solvents such as water and ethanol in aqueous dimethyl sulfoxide and aqueous ethanol were determined using (13)C NMR data. Free Gibbs energy of nicotinamide donor center (nitrogen heteroatom) solvation was calculated. Gibbs energy of entire nicotinamide molecule solvation was shown to be antibate towards Gibbs energy of a pyridine nitrogen solvation. The solvation state of this molecule fragment must be taken into consideration when analyzing the reagents contributions in the thermodynamics of complexation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
