510. Micro-determination of the molecular weights of picrates by a spectrophotometric method

Abstract: A method is described for the determination of the molecular weight of a picrate by an examination of its light absorption in the ultra-violet region of the spectrum. The determination is carried out with approximately 2 mg. of the picrate, the accuracy being of the order of 1 2 % . ETHANOLIC solutions of picric acid exhibit high-intensity absorption between 2000 and 2500 A . , and between 3500 and 4000 A. (figure). Few colourless organic compounds show absorption of appreciable intensity between 3500 and 4000… Show more

“…The formation of molecular complexes from many otherwise stable aromatic entities is a well-established phenomenon, and by now a rather intensively investigated one also. The number of books (25,194) and reviews (8,26,63,187,236) published on the subject, the importance of such complexing in analytical spot-test procedures (73), and the recent use of picrates for the spectrophotometric determination of adduct molecular weights (53,224,227) all attest adequately to the above assertions.…”

“…This. picrate was used to determine the molecular weight of the scopinium base by the method of Cunningham, Dawson & Spring (1951). The Using the method described for hydrogenation of scopinium, we were able to obtain pseudoscopine, with melting point 124 to 1260 C; Polonovski & Polonovski (1928) found 125 to 1260 C, and Heusner & Zeile (1958) 122 to 123°C.…”

“…Determinations of the molecular weight of the picrate by the method of Cunningham, Dawson & Spring (1951) gave values of 361 and 358. The value expected for the picrate of isopelletierine is 370.…”
