Introduction
INTRODUCTION

Barium Diphenylamine-4-sulfonate (BDA4S) is a versatile compound that has been


extensively studied for its potential applications in various fields such as medicine and
industry. BDA4S acts as a Redox Indicator in Spectrophotometric Micro-determination of
Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs [1] and has also been utilized in the diagnosis of
lung cancer through the analysis of exhaled breath with a colorimetric sensor array [2].
Additionally, BDA4S has demonstrated promise in the determination of volatile reducing
substances in blood and gases [3] as well as in a urinary colorimetric sensor array to
distinguish Kawasaki Disease from other febrile illnesses [4].

Kawasaki Disease (KD) is an acute febrile illness primarily affecting young children and
associated with the risk of coronary artery aneurysms (5). The absence of a specific diagnostic
test for KD presents a significant challenge to accurately diagnose and promptly treat the
disease. Consequently, the development of a simple and cost-effective colorimetric sensor
array employing BDA4S is of great interest to researchers in this field.

The objective of this study is to conduct a comprehensive physic-chemical quality control


analysis of BDA4S to ensure its suitability for further pharmaceutical industry production.
Various spectroscopic approaches, including X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron
Microscopy (SEM), Ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis), Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FTIR),
refractive index, and electrical conductivity, will be employed to investigate the physic-
chemical properties of BDA4S. These analytical techniques are widely utilized to determine
the structure, purity, and quality of chemical compounds.

This typescript is divided into three distinct parts, each contributing to a comprehensive
understanding of the subject matter. The first part comprises a literature review, which is
presented in two chapters. The initial chapter provides an overview of general concepts and
knowledge pertaining to barium diphenylamine 4 sulfonate. The subsequent chapter focuses
on various analysis techniques employed for the identification and characterization of this
compound.

The second part of the thesis is condensed into a single chapter, wherein the preparation
methods and a range of analysis techniques for the characterization of barium diphenylamine
4 sulfonate are summarized. The highlighted techniques include UV-vis, XRD, FTIR, SEM,
electrical conductivity measurements, and refractive index analysis.

2
The third and final part of this thesis delves into the results obtained from the aforementioned
analyses and presents their interpretation. This section aims to establish connections between
the experimental findings and the underlying principles of barium diphenylamine 4 sulfonate.
By elucidating the implications of these results, this part serves to enhance our comprehension
and contribute to the overall body of knowledge in this field of study.

CHAPTER I GENERALITIES ON BARIUM DIPHENYLAMINE -4- SULFONATE

Introduction
In 1967, a Japanese doctor named Kawasaki was the first to describe a syndrome
characterized by mucocutaneous lymph node involvement, now known as Kawasaki disease
[6], is a short-term inflammation of medium-sized blood vessels that predominantly affects
the coronary arteries [7]. It mainly affects children under the age of five and is rare among
older individuals It has experienced a significant rise worldwide, particularly in the last 20
years [8].
It is the primary contributor to acquired heart conditions in developed countries and is
gradually surpassing rheumatic heart disease as a major concern in developing nations [7].

Various theories have been proposed regarding the cause of KD. Presently, it is widely
accepted that there is a genetic predisposition to developing KD, and it is believed that an
unidentified infectious factor also plays a role. Recent evidence indicates that genetic factors
play a significant role in the occurrence of KD. Specific variations in the IgG receptor have
been identified, which can heighten the susceptibility of children to KD and increase the
likelihood of developing coronary artery aneurysms [9].

A reliable method to accurately diagnose Kawasaki disease (KD) in children is by considering


their age and measuring various biomarkers such as % MON, phosphorus, UA, globulin, %
LYM, prealbumin, GGT, AST/ALT ratio, serum chloride, LDH, and PLT. This novel
diagnostic approach proves effective in distinguishing children with KD from those with other
febrile illnesses. Implementing this diagnostic model enables accurate identification of KD
cases [10].
These tests contribute to the high cost and long-time associated with the diagnostic process,
based on the information given in the estimation of the cost of Nonadherence to Kawasaki
Disease Diagnostic Recommendations that have been published by the American Heart
Association (AHA) and American Academy of Paediatrics (AAP) in 2004. The estimated
cost of the diagnostic tests per patient among 113 studied cases with suspected Kawasaki
disease (KD) is approximately $5,868. This cost includes clinical assessment, laboratory tests,
and echocardiograms [11].

CHAPTER I GENERALITIES ON BARIUM DIPHENYLAMINE -4- SULFONATE

Hence, there is a strong need and urgency to prioritize the creation of an affordable, quick,
and convenient alternative diagnostic test for Kawasaki disease that can be conducted directly
at the point of care.
The application of colorimetric array-based sensing is a robust approach for quantitatively
detecting a wide range of analytes through the recognition of distinct patterns using multiple
sensing compounds. Various classes of sensing compounds are commonly employed in
colorimetric sensors, including metalloporphyrin, Bronsted acid/base dyes, solvatochromic
dyes, and redox indicators. Redox indicators, encompassing both metal-organic complexes
and true organic redox systems, exhibit a clear and reversible colour change between their
oxidized and reduced forms.
Among the 190 candidate compounds an optimal subset of 11 sensing compounds utilized in
the assembly of colorimetric sensor arrays for diagnosing Kawasaki disease (table 1), one
notable compound is barium diphenylamine 4 sulfonate [4].

2. Previous studies on Barium Diphenylamine 4-Sulfonate


Barium diphenylamine-4-sulfonate, renowned for its unique properties and versatile nature,
holds immense significance in various industrial and scientific applications, particularly in the
pharmaceutical field. Its value extends to cutting-edge diagnostic techniques, where it serves
as a colorimetric sensor array for the diagnosis of lung cancer through the analysis of exhaled
breath. By detecting specific biomarkers, barium diphenylamine-4-sulfonate contributes to the
early detection and monitoring of this devastating disease, offering potential avenues for
improved patient outcomes [2].

Furthermore, this compound plays a crucial role as an indicator in the determination of


volatile reducing substances, such as alcohol or ether, in both blood and gases. Its precise and
sensitive nature enables it to function as a reliable indicator during chromic acid titration,
facilitating accurate measurements in analytical procedures. This application finds relevance
in forensic analysis and various medical investigations [3].

In the field of pharmaceutical research and analysis, barium diphenylamine-4-sulfonate serves


as a redox indicator in the spectrophotometric micro-determination of non-steroidal anti-
inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Through its involvement in this analytical technique, it
enables the quantification and characterization of NSAIDs, contributing to the development of
safer and more effective medications [1].

3. Spectroscopic techniques used in the characterization of


Barium Diphenylamine 4-Sulfonate
3.1 X-Ray diffraction
3.1.1 Introduction

In 1912, Max von Laue and his colleagues made the significant discovery that crystalline
materials behave like three-dimensional diffraction gratings when exposed to X-ray
wavelengths that align with the spacing of planes within the crystal lattice (Friedrich et al.,
1912) Currently, X-ray diffraction has become a widely used method for investigating crystal
structures and the distances between atoms [13]. XRD is a non-invasive method of testing that
can be used to analyse a diverse range of substances, such as minerals, polymers, plastics,
metals, semiconductors, ceramics, and solar cells [14]. While X-ray crystallography finds
extensive industrial applications, it continues to be a complex discipline of research. Many
studies have explored the various uses of XRD, but there is a scarcity of comprehensive
reviews focusing on technical details of crystal structures and XRD [15].

3.1.2 Crystal structure

Crystalline structures consist of arrays of atoms arranged in a repetitive and orderly manner.
The fundamental building block of a crystal is called a unit cell, and its size and shape (as
shown in Figure 3) are determined by the angles between the axes (α, β, γ) and the lengths of
the three axes (a, b, c) in a three-dimensional system [16]. Atoms within an array are
methodically arranged by their positions, either through translation or transformation, without
any alteration in terms of orientation or rotation. The translation can occur in one, two, or
three dimensions, depending on the specific type employed [17]. A crystal's regular
arrangement of points is referred to as a lattice. Figure (3a) and (3b) depict the lattice structure
of crystals in two and three dimensions, respectively.

11
CHAPTER II CHARACTERIZATION TECHNIQUES

Figure 3 : Two-dimensional lattice with translation vector (b)


Three-dimensional lattice with translation vector [17].

In 1848, Bravais introduced the mathematical concept of a space lattice to describe the
arrangement of crystal structures (Figure 4). The space lattice demonstrates the scattering of
an infinite number of points in space, highlighting that the arrangement of points around one
point is comparable to that around any other point [18]. The arrangement of points within a
space lattice is defined using the x, y, and z axes. Figure 4 illustrates 14 lattices that represent
all possible arrangements of points within a three-dimensional space lattice. These 14 Bravais
lattices can be classified into 7 crystal systems based on the angles between the axes, their
lengths, and their symmetry properties.

12
CHAPTER II CHARACTERIZATION TECHNIQUES

Space groups in crystallography describe the symmetry of crystals, indicating how their
orientation can change without affecting the atomic positions. These changes include
translations, reflections, rotations, and inversions. The combination of these transformations
results in 230 distinct space groups that categorize the inherent symmetry of crystals [19],
[20], [21], [22], [23]

3.1.3 X-ray diffraction principle


X-ray diffraction relies on the constructive interference of monochromatic X-rays with a
crystalline sample. The X-rays are generated by a cathode ray tube, filtered for
monochromatic radiation, and focused onto the sample. When the incident X-rays interact
with the sample, constructive interference occurs, producing a diffracted ray. This
phenomenon follows Bragg's law:
nλ=2dhklsinθ
where n represents an integer, λ is the wavelength of the X-rays, d denotes the interplanar
spacing responsible for the diffraction, and θ represents the angle of diffraction and dhkl is the
spacing of the crystal layers (path difference), which relates the wavelength of X-rays, the
diffraction angle, and the interplanar spacing in the crystal lattice.
The diffracted X-rays are then detected, processed, and counted. By scanning the sample at
various angles, all possible diffraction directions of the lattice can be obtained. The resulting

13
CHAPTER II CHARACTERIZATION TECHNIQUES

diffraction peaks can be converted into d-spacings, which are unique for each compound and
can be used for compound identification. X-ray diffractometers consist of three main
components: X-ray tube, a sample holder, and an X-ray detector. X-rays are generated by
heating a filament in the cathode ray tube, accelerating electrons towards a target, and causing
characteristic X-ray spectra to be emitted. These spectra typically include components such as
Ka and Kb [24].

3.1.4 Applications of PXRD in Pharmaceutical Sciences


Experimental screening is commonly employed to explore the various possible solid forms
(polymorphs, hydrates/solvates, salts, co-crystals, amorphous) of pharmaceutical compounds.
The properties of different solid forms of the same drug can significantly differ, impacting
crucial factors such as solubility, dissolution, bioavailability, stability, processability, and
shelf life. Therefore, it is crucial to understand the different solid forms and their relationships
for the successful commercialization of a candidate molecule. X-ray powder diffraction
(XRPD) serves as a primary tool for characterizing solid forms and is extensively used during
the drug development process to ensure the reproducibility of the selected form [25].

3.2 UV Visible spectrophotometry


3.2.1 Introduction
UV-visible spectroscopy is a versatile and cost-effective analytical technique that can be used
for a broad range of organic and some inorganic compounds. This non-destructive method is
both simple and flexible. It operates by measuring the absorption or transmission of light
through a medium as a function of wavelength using UV-vis spectrophotometers [26].

3.2.2 Principles of UV-visible spectrophotometry


3.2.2.1 Lambert–Beer Law

The Lambert-Beer law forms the foundation for quantitatively analysing liquid parameters
through UV-Vis spectroscopy.

14
CHAPTER II CHARACTERIZATION TECHNIQUES

Figure 6 : Schematic diagram of the Lambert-Beer law.


This analytical approach is based on the principle of measuring the interaction between a
beam of monochromatic parallel light and the tested medium's surface [27]. As the light
passes through the medium with a specific thickness, the medium absorbs a portion of the
light energy, resulting in a reduction in the intensity of the transmitted light. The absorbance
of the medium being analysed is directly proportional to its thickness.

The mathematical representation of the Lambert-Beer law can be expressed as follows:

A = log(1/T) = ε · c · l (1)

where A represents the absorbance of the sample, T is the transmittance of light through the
sample, ε is the molar absorptivity or molar absorption coefficient, c is the concentration of
the compound, and l is the path length that the light travels through the sample.

3.2.2.2 Basic Principle of UV-Vis Spectrophotometry

UV-Vis spectroscopy operates on the principle that molecules can selectively absorb light
within the UV-Vis wavelength range. When light of a specific wavelength is absorbed, it
excites electrons from a lower energy orbital (HOMO) to a higher energy unoccupied orbital
(LUMO). The energy of the absorbed light must be equal to the energy gap between the
HOMO and LUMO (HOMO-LUMO energy gap).

In the case of conjugated systems, where there are alternating single and multiple bonds, the
energy gap between the HOMO and LUMO is smaller compared to isolated double [28].

15
CHAPTER II CHARACTERIZATION TECHNIQUES

Figure 7 : Molecular orbitals and the energy gap needed to excite the
electron energy state.

Different molecules exhibit distinct absorption characteristics, leading to unique spectral


curves. However, a majority of molecules demonstrate light absorption within the UV-Vis
region. By leveraging the Lambert-Beer law as a theoretical framework, it becomes possible
to effectively measure the concentration of molecules in solution. Parameters commonly
utilized in water quality assessment, such as the spectral absorption range for substances like
NO3-N and NO2-N, typically fall within the 200-250 nm range. Organic matter and turbidity,
on the other hand, are typically absorbed within the 380-750 nm range.

3.2.2.3 Measurement principle


To determine the intensity of light passing through a sample solution in a cuvette, a UV-vis
spectrophotometer measures it and compares it to the intensity of the light before it passed
through the sample. The main parts of a UV-vis spectrophotometer include a light source, a
sample holder, a dispersive device that separates different light wavelengths (such as a
monochromator), and a suitable detector [29].

Figure 8 : Measurement principle in UV/VIS spectroscopy

3.2.3 Applications of UV-visible spectrometry in pharmaceutical


field
In the process of developing drugs, analysis is an essential component that covers everything
from the initial discovery stage to the quality control of the final products. Depending on the
specific stage of development, different analysis methods are necessary, taking into account
factors such as the amount of material available, the need for speed and accuracy, selectivity
requirements, ease of use, and available resources. During the preformulating phase of drug
development, which focuses on physicochemical profiling, the properties of the active
molecules dictate which methods are appropriate for analysis and characterization. One
widely used method in pharmaceutical analysis is UV-vis spectrophotometry, either alone or
in combination with a separation technique. The reason for its broad usage is that most drug
substances have chromophores that absorb light somewhere between 190-800 nm, which the
UV-vis absorption spectrum can detect. This spectrum is determined by the molecule's
structure and can assist in identifying compounds, as well as determining physical and
chemical properties such as pKa, partitioning, and complexation. However, the primary use of

17
CHAPTER II CHARACTERIZATION TECHNIQUES

UV-vis spectrophotometry in pharmaceutical analysis is to measure the amount of drug


substances present [30].

3.3 Fourier transform-infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy


3.3.1 Introduction
Spectroscopic techniques have been used for material analysis in laboratories for many years.
In the past, infrared (IR) spectroscopy was primarily used for qualitative analysis, providing
general information about a wide range of samples. However, advances in chemometrics,
software algorithms, and instrumental technology have enabled efficient artificial intelligence
techniques to be applied to IR spectroscopy, making it a powerful quantitative analytical
method. Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy is a modern and popular technique
that has revitalized IR spectroscopy as a reliable and powerful analytical tool. IR spectroscopy
involves the absorption of energy from passing electromagnetic radiation in the IR frequency
range, resulting in several excited molecular vibrational and rotational states that produce a
unique and highly characteristic spectrum. Recent developments in FT-IR techniques have
made the tool suitable for both qualitative and quantitative analysis purposes [31].

3.3.2 Principle of Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy


Invisible to the human eye, IR radiation consists of electromagnetic waves (EMR) with
wavelengths longer than visible radiation. The IR portion of the electromagnetic spectrum
spans wavelengths ranging from 0.8–100 µm, and is typically divided into three categories:
near-IR, mid-IR, and far-IR. The mid-IR range, which includes radiation in the wavenumber
interval from 4000 cm−1 to 400 cm−1, is most commonly used in medical applications. The
frequency of the absorbed radiation determines each subatomic vibrational interaction, as
demonstrated in (figure 9).

18
CHAPTER II CHARACTERIZATION TECHNIQUES

Figure 9 : Scheme of the optical spectrum, focusing on the infrared


region

FT-IR spectroscopy is a technique used to obtain the absorption or emission infrared spectrum
of solids, liquids, or gases. The advantage of FT-IR spectrometry over dispersive
spectrometry is that it simultaneously collects high-resolution information over a broad
spectral range (between 4000 and 400 cm−1). Spectroscopy techniques, such as FT-IR or UV-
vis spectroscopy, aim to quantify the amount of light absorbed by a sample at each frequency.
The dispersive spectroscopy method involves focusing a monochromatic light beam at a
sample, measuring the amount of absorbed light, and recalculating it for each frequency. In
contrast, Fourier transform spectroscopy uses a less intuitive approach to obtain similar data.
This method focuses a beam, or array, that contains multiple frequencies of light and
measures how much of that beam is absorbed by the sample. Then, the wave is changed to
contain a different combination of frequencies, giving a second data point.
This process is repeated many times in a short period of time, and the information is obtained
by a computer. An interferogram, such as the one shown in (Figure 9), is created by applying
a broadband light source containing the entire range of frequencies to be measured. The light
passes through a Michelson interferometer, which consists of a special array of mirrors, one
of which is moved by a motor. As this mirror moves, each light frequency in the array is
occasionally blocked, reflected, refracted, or transmitted by the interferometer. The different
frequencies are modulated at different rates so that the array exiting the interferometer has a
different range at each mirror position or second [32].

3.3.3 Application of Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR)


spectroscopy in pharmaceutical field
Different techniques and methods have been used to examine pharmaceutical preparations and
understand changes that occur in order to develop effective drug dosage forms. Among these
techniques, FT-IR has shown to be highly versatile and useful for drug research purposes. It
can provide information on compound structures, confirm drug synthesis, and allow for drug
characterization and microstructure observation. Additionally, FT-IR has been successful in
detecting drug preparations in bio-samples. Due to its various applications in the field of
pharmaceuticals, FT-IR is a valuable tool for drug development and analysis [33].

3.4 Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM)


3.4.1 Introduction
The SEM is a highly versatile and advanced instrument used to observe surface phenomena of
materials. The sample is bombarded with high-energy electrons in the SEM, and the resulting
outcoming electrons/X-rays are analysed. These provide information on the topography,
morphology, composition, and crystallographic properties of the material. Morphology relates
to the object's shape and size, while topography describes its surface features such as texture,
smoothness, or roughness. Composition refers to the elements and compounds that make up
the material, while crystallography pertains to the arrangement of atoms within the material.
The SEM is the leading instrument that can produce a highly detailed visual image of a
particle with a high spatial resolution of up to 1 nm, and magnifications up to 300,000 times.
Although SEM provides information only on the surface of the material, it is still a powerful
tool for characterizing crystallographic, magnetic, and electrical features of the sample, and
for determining whether any morphological changes have occurred after modifying the
sample surface with other molecules. The SEM can provide qualitative information on the
topography, morphology, composition, and crystallographic properties of the specimen,
making it a versatile instrument for examining and analysing materials with high resolution
[34].

3.4.2 Fundamental Principles of SEM


20
CHAPTER II CHARACTERIZATION TECHNIQUES

In order to use SEM, a sample must be fixed onto a stub using double-sided carbon tape. A
thin layer of material should then be added on top of the carbon tape to reduce charging and
improve image quality. However, non-conductive samples such as polymers must be sputter-
coated with a conductive material like carbon or metal to avoid overcharging. Once the
sample is prepared, it is placed in the sample holder within the vacuumed specimen chamber.
SEM operates under a vacuum to prevent interactions between electrons and gas molecules
that would reduce resolution. The primary electrons produced by the electron gun are
accelerated to a high energy level and focused into a monochromatic beam using magnetic
field lenses and metal slits. The beam is scanned across the sample surface by scanning coils
in a raster pattern. When the primary electrons hit the sample surface, they interact with the
near-surface area of the sample in several ways, generating signals from both elastic and
inelastic scattering.
The interaction volume and scattering of electrons in SEM depend on several factors. The
concentration of atoms and atomic number of the element in the sample, as well as the
accelerating voltage, can affect the interaction volume and scattering. Increasing the
accelerating voltage leads to an increase in the interaction volume and scattering, while higher
atomic number materials absorb or stop more electrons, resulting in a smaller interaction
volume. The angle of incidence of the electron beam also plays a role, with a greater angle of
incidence resulting in a smaller interaction volume. In summary, the angle of incidence,
atomic number, and accelerating voltage are the primary factors that determine the volume of
the specimen in which interactions occur.

As a result of the interaction between incoming electrons and the specimen's nucleus and
electrons through Coulomb field, various signals are emitted such as secondary electrons
(SEs), backscattered electrons (BSEs), photons (X-rays used for elemental analysis) and
visible light (Cathodoluminescence - CL). These signals are collected by detectors and
processed by a computer to form the desired image. Different information about the sample
can be observed depending on the detected signal, with secondary electrons being the most
important for indicating sample morphology and topography, while backscattered electrons
are used for demonstrating contrasts in multiphase samples. X-rays are generated when
incident electrons collide with electrons in the orbitals of sample atoms, causing them to be
excited to higher energy levels and then emit X-rays with a specific wavelength when they
return to lower energy levels. Each element generates a characteristic X-ray, which allows for

21
CHAPTER II CHARACTERIZATION TECHNIQUES

elemental analysis. SEM is a non-destructive technique, and repeated analysis of the same
material can be done as the generation of X-rays does not lead to any loss in the specimen's
volume.

The interactions that occur between the electron beam and the specimen atoms can be broadly
classified into two types: inelastic and elastic interactions. In inelastic interactions, the beam
electron interacts with the electric field of a specimen atom electron, transferring energy to the
atom and potentially ejecting a secondary electron (SE) with an energy of less than 50 eV.
The creation of vacancies by the ejected electrons leads to the emission of X-rays, which are
characteristic of the energy transition involved.

Elastic interactions occur between the primary electrons and the electric field of the nucleus
of a specimen atom, causing the direction of the primary electrons to change with minimal
energy loss (less than 1 eV). When these elastically scattered electrons deflect out of the
specimen, they are called backscattered electrons (BSEs) and typically maintain at least 50%
of the incident beam energy. These interactions cause the beam electrons to distribute over a
three-dimensional "interaction volume", with secondary and backscattered electrons escaping
from different depths of the sample, resulting in different energies.

SEs generally escape from depths of approximately 5-50 nm, while BSEs escape from several
times greater depths, and X-rays from even greater depths. This means that greater escape
depths can result in wider lateral dimensions for signal generation and lower potential
resolutions. However, the actual size and shape of the interaction volume depend on several
factors, including the accelerating voltage, atomic number, and tilt [35].

sample

3.4.3 Application of SEM in pharmaceutical field


In the dynamic landscape of pharmaceutical research, the demand for comprehensive
information has spurred the adoption of advanced tools like scanning electron microscopes
(SEMs), revolutionizing the field and unlocking new possibilities. These sophisticated
instruments have proven to be indispensable powerhouses, empowering scientists to explore
intricate cellular interactions with unprecedented precision and unravel the mysteries of
pharmaceutical compounds.

Within the realm of pharmaceutical research, SEMs have emerged as vital tools for acquiring
invaluable insights into the complex world of cells when exposed to novel drugs. By
harnessing the remarkable resolution capabilities of SEMs, researchers can capture highly
detailed images of cellular structures, allowing them to examine the profound effects of
pharmaceutical compounds on cellular behaviour. These visualizations enable scientists to

23
CHAPTER II CHARACTERIZATION TECHNIQUES

decipher drug mechanisms, optimize formulations, and design more targeted and efficient
treatment strategies.

Moreover, SEMs have catalysed breakthroughs in the most challenging area of


pharmaceutical research: cancer treatments. Given the multifaceted nature of cancer,
understanding the intricate dynamics within tumour microenvironments is essential for
developing effective therapies. SEMs provide researchers with a transformative perspective,
enabling them to study cancer cells at a remarkably detailed level. By visualizing
morphological changes, investigating drug-target interactions, and scrutinizing cellular
responses, SEMs facilitate the discovery of novel therapeutic approaches, paving the way for
personalized medicine and improving patient outcomes.

The significance of SEMs extends beyond cellular exploration, as they also play a pivotal role
in powder imaging and analysis in the pharmaceutical industry. Precise characterization of
powders is paramount in drug manufacturing, as it directly impacts critical factors such as
dissolution rate, stability, and bioavailability. SEMs excel in this domain, delivering accurate
measurements of particle size, shape, and distribution. Armed with this knowledge,
researchers can optimize formulation processes, evaluate product quality, and ensure
consistent and predictable therapeutic outcomes [36], [37], [38].

1. Preparation method
In this section, we describe the preparation protocol employed for the synthesis of the target
compound. A balloon equipped with a refrigerant was utilized as the reaction vessel. Initially,
5g of diphenylamine and 4ml of concentrated sulfuric acid were introduced into the balloon.
The resulting mixture was then agitated at a temperature of 100°C for a duration of 30
minutes to ensure thorough reaction progress. Subsequently, 10ml of water was carefully
added to the mixture, followed by an additional agitation period of 20 minutes. To facilitate
further processing, the mixture was transferred to 80ml of hot water, and 20ml of 50% weight
concentration barium hydroxide solution was added. This addition resulted in the formation of
a white precipitate. The precipitate was subsequently subjected to filtration, thorough
washing, and drying procedures to obtain the desired product.

2. Protocol of the solutions preparation


The preparation of six solutions of barium diphenylamine 4-sulfonate was conducted
following a meticulous protocol. A precisely measured amount of 100 mg of barium
diphenylamine 4-sulfonate was dissolved in 90 ml of distilled water. The solid was added to
the water and stirred vigorously using a stirring rod until complete dissolution was achieved.
The resulting solution was then divided equally into six separate containers, ensuring each
container contained approximately 15 ml of the solution. To obtain a series of dilutions, each
container underwent a 50% dilution by adding 7.5 ml of distilled water and thorough mixing.
This dilution process was repeated for the remaining five containers using fresh distilled
water for each dilution step. The containers were properly labelled to indicate the respective
dilution factors.

The CRAPC's scanning electron microscope (figure 13) comes with two types of sensors: the
CBS and the LFD. The CBS, known as Concentric Backscattered, functions in a high vacuum
mode and produces an image with chemical contrast. On the other hand, the LFD, or Large
Field Detector, detects secondary electrons and enables working at pressures up to 2 mbar. It
is particularly useful for capturing images of both secondary and backscattered electrons at
the same time.

5. UV Visible Spectroscopy
The double-beam spectrophotometer Analytik Jena (Figure14) at the level of the Galenic
Pharmacy Laboratory, Department of Pharmacy BATNA, was used to analyse the absorption
spectra of BDA4S. It is equipped with two lamps; the first one is a halogen lamp used for
measuring optical density in the visible range, while the second one is a deuterium lamp used
for measuring optical density in the ultraviolet range. In our experiments, BDA4S at specific
intervals were placed in a quartz cuvette to monitor their photodecomposition. The

29
MATERIALS AND METHODS

characteristic absorption peak (λmax) was measured within a range of 900 nm and speed of
5nm/s, with respect to distilled water used as a reference.

Figure 14 : The double-beam spectrophotometer Analytik Jena

To operate a spectrophotometer, first, a blank measurement is taken by adding the solvent


(such as water) into a transparent cuvette and passing a light beam through it. The transmitted
light at different wavelengths is then measured by a detector positioned after the cuvette,
which serves as a reference for later measurements.
To measure a sample, it is dissolved in the solvent and added to the cuvette. The light beam is
then passed through the cuvette containing the sample, and the sample molecules absorb some
of the light at different wavelengths.

The transmitted light is then measured by the detector, and the intensity change at different
wavelengths is calculated by dividing the transmitted intensity of the sample solution by the
corresponding values of the blank. This ratio is then recorded by the software ASpect UV
(figure 15) for the recording and analysis of UV-vis data.

The purpose of this technique is to gather information about the analysed product by studying
its interaction with radiation. Molecules absorb infrared radiation within the frequency range
of 4000 to 400 cm-1 as a result of molecular vibrational energy. The analysis of the studied
products was carried out at the Laboratory for Growth and Characterization of New
Semiconductors (LCCNS) at Ferhat Abbas University of Setif 1, using a SHIMADZU
Fourier-transform infrared spectrophotometer (Figure 16). The infrared spectra were recorded
in transmittance mode, covering the frequency zone of 3500-500 cm -1, which facilitates the

Before using the conductometer, it is calibrated using a standard solution of known


conductivity. This ensures that the device is accurate and provides reliable results.
The conductometer probe, which contains two electrodes, is then immersed into the solution.
The electrodes are completely submerged and do not touch the sides or bottom of the
container.
Once the probe is immersed, the conductometer will display the conductivity value of the
solution on the screen. The reading can be recorded or stored for further analysis.
After taking the measurement, the probe is thoroughly rinsed with distilled water to prevent
any contamination between readings.

RESULTS & DISCUSSION

I. X-ray Diffraction
X-ray diffraction is a technique employed to determine the composition and structure of
crystalline materials, as well as to confirm the non-crystalline state of certain substances. In
the case of crystalline materials, where atoms are arranged in an orderly and periodic manner,
lattice planes designated by Miller indices (h k l) are formed. When a crystal is illuminated
with X-rays, a diffraction pattern emerges, consisting of distinctive peaks associated with the
diffracting lattice planes. The position of each peak, known as the diffraction angle θ, relies
on the orientation and interplanar distance of the diffracting planes, following Bragg's law.

The synthesized products underwent analysis using X-ray diffraction (XRD) with a copper
anticathode apparatus (λkα=1.54060 Å). The voltage acceleration was set at 40 kV and the
current at 40 mA. The detector scanned the angular range from 5° to 90°, with a fixed step
size of 0.019° and a scanning speed of 9.4 seconds per step.

1. Structural identification
Structural identification is the primary use of the powder method, which involves determining
the specific crystalline species being studied. It can also be employed to qualitatively analyse
the presence of multiple crystalline species within a material. This identification process relies
on accurately determining the positions of peaks and estimating their relative intensities based
on their heights.

2. Indexing and determination of lattice parameters


Indexing involves the assignment of Miller indices (hkl) to each diffraction peak, which
depends on the knowledge of the crystallographic lattice type (e.g., cubic, hexagonal,
tetragonal, etc.). To accomplish this, the crystal system must be determined first, followed by
the definition of the appropriate indices (hkl). This search is typically conducted using
dedicated calculation programs and tailored algorithms, such as High Score.

RESULTS & DISCUSSION

NB: the Bravais lattice parameters are still unknown for this region thus we couldn’t calculate
the crystallographic plans. Also, the symmetric of BDA4S is unknown.
The average size of barium diphenylamine 4- sulfonate nanopowder was determined from the

is the wavelength of the X-ray, by considering the FWHM (β= 0.45°) of the dominant
diffraction peak (θ=7.22°) of BADA4S nanoparticles, the crystalline size of BDA4S
nanopowder was around 200 nm.

1233, 1334, 1508, 1602 and 3383 cm-1 which was in good agreement with other previous
studies [39].

V. Electrical conductivity
The self ionisation of water results in H 3O+(aq) and OH-(aq) always being present in any
aqueous electrolyte solution. The measured resistance, or conductance, is therefore a
composite quantity made up from the contribution made by the ions of the electrolyte and the
H3O+(aq) and OH-(aq). The contribution from the H 3O+(aq) and OH-(aq) can be obtained
by measuring the resistance, or conductance, of the H 2O used in preparing the electrolyte

RESULTS & DISCUSSION

solutions under study. The conductivity of the water can then be found from this measured
conductance and the cell constant. For an ionic compound, with the formula AB2, we may
consider the following equilibrium in its saturated solution at a given constant temperature.

2+ −
( aq ) (aq )
AB 2 ( s )⇔ A +2 B

The current is carried through a solution by the movement of the ions of the solution.
It is likely that the more ions there are present, the lower will be the resistance of the solution
to the passage of the current and the greater will be the conductivity, . For the ideal case the
conductivity, , would be expected to be strictly proportional to the concentration of ions
actually present (figure 25)

For homogeneous single-phase insolating liquids, a binary ionic system is often used
to express the specific electrical conductivity  of the solution [40]

where F is the Faraday’s constant,  is the ionic mobility, c the ionic concentration, and the
subscripts ± refer to positive and negative valances. In most practical applications, the source
of ions is the dissociation of the impurities and/or an introduction of ionic doping agents in
the liquid. In both of these cases, the concentration of charged species in insulating liquids is
small enough such that one can ignore ionic interactions. As a result, the electrical effect in
the liquid is expected to induce negligible changes in ionic concentrations or other charging

effects such as formation of micelle structures. The mobility of a charged particle in the

Figure 25 shows that σ is almost exactly proportional to the concentration of Barium


Diphenylamine-4-Sulfonate (BDA4S), as expected.

As can be seen, when the concentration of ions in an electrolyte solution (BDA4S) increase,
there are more charged particles available to carry electric current. As a result, the
conductivity  of the electrolyte (BDA4S) increases. This relationship is described by the
Nernst-Einstein equation, which states that the molar conductivity is directly proportional to
the concentration of ions in the solution.

Figure (26) demonstrates the variation of electrical conductivity with temperature. As it can
be seen, an increase in a solution’s temperature will cause a decrease in viscosity and increase
in the mobility of the ions in the solution of BDA4S. An increase in temperature may also
cause an increase in number of ions in the solution due to the dissociation of the molecules.
As a result, there will be increase in conductivity of the solution.
42
RESULTS & DISCUSSION

It is concluded that parameters such as impurities (dissolved solids BDA4S) and temperature
play an important role for the determination of the electrical conductivity.

Refractive Index
Refractive index is defined as the ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum to its speed in a
specific medium.

Refractive index is also referred to as refraction index or index of refraction. The speed of
light in a medium depends on the properties of the medium. In electromagnetic waves, the
speed is dependent on the optical density of the medium. Optical density is the tendency of
the atoms in a material to restore the absorbed electromagnetic energy. The more optically
dense material is, the slower the speed of light. One such indicator of the optical density of a
medium is the refractive index.

The refractive index is dimensionless. It is a number that indicates the number of times slower
than a light wave would be in the material than it is in a vacuum. The refractive index,
represented by symbol n, is the velocity of light in vacuum divided by the velocity of light in
a medium. The formula of the refractive index is as follows:

43
RESULTS & DISCUSSION

n=c/v

Where,

 n is the refractive index

 c is the velocity of light in a vacuum (3 × 108 m/s)

 v is the velocity of light in a substance

The vacuum has a refractive index of 1. The refractive index of other materials can be
calculated from the above equation. Higher the refractive index, the higher the optical density
and slower is the speed of light [41].

Figure (27) shows the relationship between refractive index and concentration of
C12H10NO3S)2Ba solutions.

Figure 27 : The relationship between concentration and refractive index of


(C12H10NO3S)2Ba solutions

From (figure 27) the refractive index is directly proportional to the concentration, as
concentration of guiding liquid increases refractive index increases.

Conclusion

In this study, we investigated the interaction between barium diphenylamine sulfonate


(BDA4S) and water using electrical conductivity and optical properties across different
concentrations and temperatures. By analysing the absorption spectra of BDA4S in the UV-
Vis range, we observed that all solutions exhibited similar absorption spectra, with an
absorption maximum (λmax) ranging from 190 to 340 nm.

To determine the functional groups, present in BDA4S, we employed infrared spectroscopy


(FT-IR) and found characteristic bands in the range of 3383-597 cm-1, which aligned well
with previous studies.

The X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis of BDA4S revealed significant peaks indicative of
crystallinity.

To examine the sizes and morphologies of the samples, scanning electron microscopy (SEM)
was employed. The results exhibited the presence of microcrystals in the form of micro-
grains, with an average length of 200 nm for BDA4S.

The dominant elements identified through Energy-Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS)


analysis of the selected grain area were carbon (C), oxygen (O), sulfur (S), nitrogen (N), and
barium (Ba).

The question of determining whether Barium Diphenylamine-4-Sulfonate is useful in the


composition of the urinary colorimetric sensor array to distinguish Kawasaki disease from
other febrile illnesses: - Developing processing techniques to produce BDA4S as biomaterial,
determining the thermodynamic parameters, activation free energies and its related
thermodynamic parameters will definitely will uncover additional valuable insights
concerning it stability.

Laue Symmetry experiment will consistently reveal more information, whether in regards to
structure, and space group, all while extracting the Bravais lattice parameters and the
crystallographic plans, but the measurement is somewhat of a lengthy and complicated
process compared to other optical characterization techniques, such as Spectrophotometry.
The answer therefore depends on the limitations of the equipment and, most importantly, on
the desired results. As the goal set for this work has been reached, it is noteworthy to

46
CONCLUSION
conclude that the

47
CONCLUSION

absorbance, transmittance, and conductivity of the sample make it a good


candidate for the suggested application.
