When comparing a polar and nonpolar molecule with similar molar masses, the polar molecule in general has a higher boiling point, because the dipole–dipole interaction between polar molecules results in stronger intermolecular attractions. One common form of polar interaction is the hydrogen bond, which is also
Models of the packing of molecules in two molecular solids, carbon dioxide or Dry ice (a), [1] and caffeine (c). [2] The gray, red, and purple balls represent carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen, respectively. Images of carbon dioxide (b) and caffeine (d) in the solid state at room temperature and atmosphere.
Caffeine Properties Chemical formula. C 8 H 10 N 4 O 2: Molar mass: 194.194 g·mol −1 Appearance Odorless, white needles or powder Density: 1.23 g/cm 3, solid [1 ...
Caffeine is the world's most widely consumed psychoactive drug. [20] [21] Unlike most other psychoactive substances, caffeine remains largely unregulated and legal in nearly all parts of the world. Caffeine is also an outlier as its use is seen as socially acceptable in most cultures with it even being encouraged.
The chemical complexity of coffee is emerging, especially due to observed physiological effects which cannot be related only to the presence of caffeine. Moreover, coffee contains an exceptionally substantial amount of antioxidants such as chlorogenic acids, hydroxycinnamic acids, caffeine and Maillard reaction products, such as melanoidins. [3]
8-ounce cup of drip coffee. 95–200 milligrams (robusta coffee beans contain about twice as much caffeine as arabica). 1-ounce espresso shot. 60–65 milligrams. 12-ounce can of Coke. 34 milligrams
Molecules with a polar surface area of greater than 140 angstroms squared (Å 2) tend to be poor at permeating cell membranes. [1] For molecules to penetrate the blood–brain barrier (and thus act on receptors in the central nervous system), a PSA less than 90 Å 2 is usually needed. [2] TPSA is a valuable tool in drug discovery and development.
d9-Caffeine is a deuterium-substituted isotopologue of caffeine.It shares identical chemical and structural properties with conventional caffeine. [2] except for the substitution of some or all of its hydrogen atoms with deuterium, a naturally occurring, non-toxic, stable, heavy isotope of hydrogen.
