Abstract

The co-absorptions of various purines and pyrimidines from aqueous solutions by Na- and Ca-montmorillonite are studied in the range of pH 1–6. The pyrimidines, thymine and uracil, which are not absorbed from solutions of these Compounds alone, are appreciably absorbed from solutions containing also adenine or 2,6-diaminopurine, are weakly absorbed from solutions containing hypo-xanthine, and are not absorbed from solutions containing purine, cytosine, and caffeine. The specific co-absorption is tentatively attributed to hydrogen-bond formation between the molecules in solution rather than to an overlapping of the molecular configurations (vertical stacking). The montmorillonite-organic associations have a basal spacing of about 12-5 Å which permits only a single molecular layer between successive silicate layers.

Résumé

Résumé

On étudie les co-absorptions de différents purines et pyrimidines à partir de solutions aqueuses par le Na- et Ca-montmorillonite, dans la gamme de pH 1–6. Les pyrimidines, thymine et uracil qui ne sont pas absorbés à partir des solutions de ces composés à eux seuls, sont absorbés de manière importante à partir de solutions contenant également l'adenine ou le 2,6-diaminopurine, sont absorbés de manière peu importante à partir des solutions contenant l'hypoxanthine et ne sont pas absorbés à partir de solutions contenant le purine, le cystosine et le caffeine. La coabsorption spécifique est attribute en premier lieu à la formation d'une liaison d'hydrogène entre les molécules en solution plutôt qu'à un recouvrement des configurations moléculaires (tassement vertical). Les associations montmorillonite-organiques ont un espacement basal d'environ 12,5 Å qui permet une seule couche moléculaire entre des couches successives de silicate.

Kurzreferat

Kurzreferat

Die Koabsorptionen verschiedener Purine und Pyrimidine aus wässrigen Lösungen durch Na- und Ca-Montmorillonit wurden in einem pH Bereich von 1–6 studiert. Die Pyrimidine Thymin und Uracil, die aus Lösungen dieser Verbindungen allein nicht absorbiert werden, erfahren beträchtliche Absorption aus Lösungen, die ebenfalls Adenin und 2,6 Diaminopurin enthalten, während sie aus Hypoxanthin enthaltenden Lösungen schwach, und aus Purin, Cytosin und Caffein enthaltenden Lösungen nicht absorbiert werden. Die spezifische Koabsorption wird provisorisch eher der Bildung einer Wasserstoffbrücke zwischen den Molekülen in der Lösung als einer Überlagerung molekularer Konfigurationen (Vertikalstapelung) zugeschrieben. Die Montmorillonit-Organisch Assoziationen haben einen Basisabstand von cal. 12,5Å, was nur eine einzelne Molekülschicht zwischen aufeinanderfolgenden Silikatschichten gestattet.

Резюме

Резюме

Ко-абсорбции различных пуринов и пиримидинов из водных растворов посредством №- и Са-моитмориллонита подвергались исследованиям в диапазоне рН 1–6. Пиримидины, тимин и урацил, которые не абсорбируются из растворов только этих соединений, в значительной степени абсорбируемы из растворов, также содержащих адеиин или 2, 6-диаминопурин, слабо абсорбируемы из растворов, содержащих гипоксантин и не абсо рбируемы из растворов, содержащих пурин, цитозин и кофеин. Удельная ко-абсорбция пробно приписывается к связанным водородом формациям между молекулами в растворе, а не к перекрытию молекулярных конфигураций (вертикальное группирование). Монтморил¬лонит-органические ассоциации обладают основным расстоянием прибл. в 12,5 А, что допускает лишь единичный молекулярный слой между последовательными силикатными слоями.
