Mobility and bioavailability reduction of soil TNT via sorption enhancement using monopotassium phosphate.
In this study, the effect of monopotassium phosphate (MKP) on the reduction in mobility and bioavailability of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) was tested. In the test soil, collected from an active firing range, of which cation binding sites were mostly exchanged with H(+) or Al(3+), potassium ions in MKP exchanged the existing cations and hence significantly increased TNT sorption. In addition, a competitive sorption experiment with hexafluorobenzene and 2,4-dinitrotoluene suggests that TNT was specifically sorbed through cation-polar interaction in the test soil. The unit-equivalent Freundlich sorption coefficient of TNT in MKP-amended soil (1370.96 mg-TNT/kg-soil) was about 13 times higher than that in untreated soil (106.23 mg-TNT/kg-soil). Finally, modified synthetic precipitation leaching procedure and hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin extraction result revealed that MKP application could reduce both the leachability and bioavailability of soil TNT. The leachable and extractable fraction of TNT in untreated soil were 87.63% and 94.47% of the initial TNT, respectively, whereas these fractions decreased to 49.15% and 54.85% of the initial TNT in the presence of MKP, respectively. MKP application can be a benign technology which can reduce both mobility and bioavailability of TNT in soil.

The effects of perfluorination on carbohydrate-pi interactions: computational studies of the interaction of benzene and hexafluorobenzene with fucose and cyclodextrin.
The effect of benzene fluorination on C-H...pi interactions is studied using a number of computational methods applied to a range of intermolecular complexes. High level wavefunction methods (CCSD(T)) predict a slightly greater interaction energy for complexes of benzene with methane or fucose, compared to corresponding complexes involving hexafluorobenzene. A number of more approximate treatments, DFT with the M06-2X functional, PM3-D* and MM methods, give interaction energies within 1 kcal mol(-1) of the high level values, and also correctly predict that the interaction energy is slightly greater for benzene compared to hexafluorobenzene. However, the DFT-D model used here predicts that the interaction energy is slightly greater for hexafluorobenzene. Molecular dynamics simulations, employing the GLYCAM-06 force field, validated here, are used to model the complexes of benzene and hexafluorobenzene with beta-cyclodextrin in aqueous solution. We predict the binding free energies of the complexes to be within 0.5 kcal mol(-1), and suggest that the different chemical shifts of the H5 protons observed in the two complexes arise from their slightly different structures, rather than from different binding energies.
