Determination of Melting Point of Sulfonamide Based Transition Metal Complexes by Open Capillary Method (CAT#: STEM-PPA-0110-YJL)

Introduction

In inorganic chemistry most active research area is coordination chemistry. Recently, numbers of coordination metal complexes have been synthesized and investigated, which exhibit various biological activities. Sulpha drugs are largely in used as chemotherapeutic agents whose molecular structures contain a 4- aminobenzene sulfonamide moiety. The Sulpha drugs and their derivatives show diverse biological activities like antihypertensive agent bosentan, antibacterial, antiprotozoal, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, nonpeptidic vasopressin receptor antagonists and translation initiation inhibitors. The reaction of maleic anhydride derivatives with sulphanilamide has not been reported for metal complaxation so far. Hence, it was thought that maleic anhydride and sulphanilamide moieties can put into one molecule frame may afford good biological active compound.




Principle

Melting point is a characteristic property of solid crystalline substance. It is the temperature at which the solid phase changes to the liquid phase. This phenomenon occurs when the substance is heated.
In all major pharmacopoeias the open capillary method is described to determine the melting point (slip point) for fats, fatty acids, paraffin, and waxes. In a glass capillary tube open at both ends (1), 10 mm of sample is introduced (2), chilled to a given temperature and immersed into a water bath (3/4). The melting point with open capillary, also known as slip point or slip melting point, is the temperature at which the substance begins to rise in the capillary due to the effect of the increasing temperature and buoyancy.

Applications

Chemical industry; Cosmetic/pharmaceutical industry

Procedure

1. Prepare the substance.
2. Affix one of the capillaries to a thermometer.
3. Place the thermometer with an affixed capillary into a glass.
4. Increase the temperature.
