The role of metal ions as catalysts for numerous biochemical reactions has been the subject of many investigations. One of the most important classes of ligands are phosphate esters. In this thesis I describe the investigation of some phosphate ester-metal ion equilibria. Formation constants for the complexation of p-nitrophenyl phosphate, phenyl phosphate, 1-naphthyl phosphate, α-D-glucose-1'-phosphate, glycerol-2-phosphate, methyl phosphate, 8-quinolyl phosphate, 8-quinolyl methyl phosphate, triphosphate and fluorotriphosphate with protons, copper, zinc and calcium ions were determined by potentiometry. In addition, the complexation of 1-naphthyl phosphate, 8-quinolyl phosphate and 8-quinolyl methyl phosphate with nickel and cobalt ions was also studied. Protonation enthalpies and copper complexation enthalpies of p-nitrophenyl phosphate, phenyl phosphate, 1-naphthyl phosphate, α-D-glucose-1'-phosphate, glycerol-2-phosphate and methyl phosphate were determined by calorimetry. A correlation between the nucleophilicity of the ester group and the magnitude of the stability constants of the proton, copper and zinc complexes of p-nitrophenyl phosphate, phenyl phosphate, 1-naphthyl phosphate, α-D-glucose-1'-phosphate, glycerol-2-phosphate and methyl phosphate is found and explained in terms of electronic induction effects, i.e. by polarisation of the phosphate oxygens by the ester group. The calorimetric results show that the desolvation of ligand and metal ion during the complexation plays an important role. The possibility of similar correlations for complexes of triphosphates is also discussed.

Oils from soybeans and catfish by-products were extracted using hexane, propane, and supercritical carbon dioxide (SCCO2). Free fatty acids (FFA), peroxide values (PV), anisidine values (AnV), total oxidation (TOTOX), induction point (IP), iodine values (IV), and 2-thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS) were all measured to analyze oxidation of these oils. The extraction yield of propane, hexane, and SCCO2 oils was 80.4, 94.5, and 90%, in respect to total lipid content. Oils extracted with SCCO2 were more oxidized than those extracted with propane and hexane; probably due to the higher temperature and longer extraction time. The IP correlated with AnV, IV, PV, and TBARS for soybean and catfish oils. These results suggest that IP is the optimum way to measure soybean and catfish oil stability.
