STUDIES ON ORGANOPHOSPHORUS COMPOUNDS——OXIDATIVE PHOSPHINYLATION——A NEW ROUTE TO DIALKYLPHOSPHINIC ACID DERIVATIVES

A new method is reported for the preparation of dialkylphosphinic acids and their derivatives based on the reaction of dialkylphosphinous acid with a nucleophile and base in the presence of carbon tetraehloride. The influence of the reaction conditions and the structure of nueleophiles on the yield of the oxidative phosphinylation is examined. It is proposed that the reaction operates by an ionic process rather than a radical mechanism.     

NOVEL HYPERBRANCHED POLY（PHENYLENE OXIDE）S WITH PHENOLIC TERMINAL GROUPS： EFFECTS OF REACTION TIME AND CORE MOLECULES ON THE MOLECULAR WEIGHT AND POLYDISPERSITY

A novel hyperbranched poly（phenylene oxide） （HPPO） with phenolic terminal groups was prepared from 4-bromo-4＇,4＂-dihydroxytriphenylmethane as AB2 monomer in dimethylsulfoxide （DMSO） via a modified Ullmann reaction. The molecular weight and polydispersity （PD） of the resulting polymers increased with increasing reaction time. In the presence of core molecules （bisphenol A and 1,3,5-trihydroxybenzene）, which have the similar molecular backbones to the reactive monomer, the molecular weight could be controlled by varying the core-to-monomer ratio. Incorporation of a very small amount of core molecules could lead to a higher molecular weight as compared with that without the addition of core molecules. However, when the core content reached certain extent, the molecular weight would decrease with the further increase in the core content. A new similar behavior of control over the PD was also obtained. The resulting polymers were characterized by ^1H-NMR, ^13C-NMR, FT-IR, and GPC.     

COORDINATION POLYMERIZATION OF BENZOTRIAZOLE ON THE SURFACE OF METALLIC COPPER

The coordination polymerization of benzotriazole with metallic copper has been investigated by infrared and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopies. We found that benzotriazole could react with copper (0) under mild conditions to form bis (benzotriazolato) copper (Ⅱ) and benzotriazolato copper (Ⅰ)which covered the surface of copper metal in the shape of polymeric materials. Since benzotriazole is of great interest as a ligand in that its presence in many biological system with metal ions, and is considered as a corrosion inhibitor, this work will be in favour of the study of protective corrosion.     

STUDIES ON THE SPHERULITE FORMATION IN MELT CAST POLYCAPROLACTONE BASED POLYURETHANES

A series of PCL/MDI/BDO segmented polyurethanes have been synthesized by two-step method in solution.The hard segment content ranges from 10% to 48% by weight, and the molecular weight of PCL diols is 1500. Hard segment spherulites have been observed in compression molded specimens of all of the samples except the one of the lowest hard segment content. The difficulty in sphernlite formation was explained as only in a small temperature range,the microphase separation rate may be faster than the crystallization rate and all these processes are very slow due to the hydrogen bonding between hard and soft segments and the interactions between hard segments themselves. PCL soft segments of molecular weight 1500 is still crystallizable and may form different crystalline superstructures.     

STUDY ON LIQUID CRYSTALLINITY OF POLY(N-VINYLCARBAZOLE)

The liquid crystallinity of poly(N-vinylcarbazole) was studied by using powder X-ray diffraction, polarized opticalmicroscopy, and differential scanning calorimetry. The results show that the lower molecular weight fractions of this polymerdo not form a liquid crystalline phase, while the samples of sufficiently high molecular weight do form a mesophase attemperatures above the glass transition. The lowest value of the degree of polymerization for PVK to form a stable liquidcrystalline phase was found to be in the range of 150 to 200, significantly higher than the value of 50 for most conventionalside chain liquid crystaline polymers.     

MECHANISM OF SOFT X-RAY RADIATION DAMAGE ON GLYCINE BY XPS

This paper roports the behaviour of radiation damage of solid glycine in a XPS spectrom-ter equipped with Mg and Al X-ray sources. The main results are as follows: (i) the kinet-ics of the damage process obeys the first-order rate law, (ii) decarboxylation can be deduced,and (iii) deamination does not occur, but the nitrogen atoms in original molecules are trans-formed into a new chemical form with higher electron density by photo-reduction.     

PREPARATION OF LOW MOLECULAR WEIGHT POLY（GLYCIDYL METHACRYLATE） BY PHOTOPOLYMERIZATION

Low molecular weight poly（glycidyl methacrylate）s （PGMAs） were prepared by photopolymerization in ethyl acetate, with benzophenone （BP） as photoinitiator, and triethylamine （TEA） as hydrogen donor. The existence of semipinacol dormant end groups in PGMA was confirmed by FT-IR and ^1H-NMR, and the content of the semipinacol dormant groups was determined quantitatively by ^1H-NMR measurement. The effects of various thctors, such as reaction time, BP concentration and monomer concentration on the synthesis of the polymers were investigated systematically. The molecular weights of the polymers were also investigated with GPC. It is shown that increasing BP concentration and decreasing irradiation time and monomer concentration led to a significant decrease of the molecular weights.     

Enantiomeric Resolution on L—Carnitine Selective Polymers Prepared by Molecular Imprinting

L-carnitine selective polymers were prepared by molecular imprinting using methacrylic acid as the functional monomer. The acid function of the monomer is expected to form hydrogen bond and ionic interactions with the amine function of the target molecule L-carnitine.The imprinted polymers were used as stationary phases in high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). It was shown that L-carnitine imprinted polymer exhibited a higher affinity to its template molecule,while the non-imprinted polymer had no affinity to the compounds tested. Racemic carnitine hydrochloride was efficiently resolved on the L-carnitine imprinted polymer, and the separation factor is 1.9.     

Kinetic study of electrochemically induced Michael reaction of1,4-dihydroxyanthraquinone with acetylacetone and benzoylacetone

The electrochemical oxidation of 1,4-dihydroxyanthraquinone has been studied in the presence of acetylacetone and benzoylacetone as nucleophiles in a mixture of ethanol/water by means of cyclic voltammetry as a diagnostic technique.The results indicate the participation of electrochemically produced anthraquinone in the Michael addition reaction with acetylacetone and benzoylacetone to form the corresponding new anthraquinone derivatives.On the basis of the EC mechanism,the observed homogeneous rate constants（kobs）of the reaction of anthraquinone with acetylacetone and benzoylacetone were estimated by comparing the experimental cyclic voltammograms with the digitally simulated results.

The addition reaction between melamine and formaldehyde involves the conversion of melamine into nine different methylol melamines.The reaction mechanism of the complex system can be summarized in a simple reaction model as below:(这里有图片19890824-878-1.gif)The rate equations of above reactions are evaluated by using Runge-Kutta method, and the rate constants are determined by means of fitting them to reaction species concentrations at various times.The molecular distribution formula of methylol derivatives of polyamine, which we developed previously, is used to form simultaneous equations with reaction rate equations and the contents of various meth-ylol-melamine are calculated.The results are good in agreement with the experiment data.     

STUDIES ON ORGANOMETALLIC COMPOUNDS OF TITANIUM,ZIRCONIUM AND HAFNIUM——THE CRYSTAL AND MOLECULAR STRUCTURES OF OXO-BRIDGED TETRAKIS(CYCLOPENTADIENYL)BIS (o.TOLYL)AND TETRAKIS(METYLCYCLOPEN-TADIENYL) BIS(p-TOLYL)BINUCLEATED ZIRCONIUM COMPOUNDS

This paper reports the crystal and molecular structures of tetrakis (cyclopentadienyl) bis(o-tolyl)-μ-oxo-dizirconium [dimer (Ⅰ)] and tetrakis (methylcyclopentadienyl) bis (p-tolyl)-μ-oxo-dizirconium [dimer (II)]. Both of them belong to monoclinic system and possess the same spacegroup C_2~5h- 2_1/a. The cell dimer (Ⅰ) containing four molecules is defined by a=19.122A,b=16.319A, c = 9.296A, β= 92°1′; the cell dimer (Ⅱ) containing two molecules is defined bya = 20.076A, b = 8.205A, c = 10.016A, β= 104°41′. The important difference of molecular configurations between the two dimers lies in thatthe dimer (Ⅰ) has no symmetry center and its Zn-O-Zr oxo-bridge presents a slightly bentconfiguration while the dimer (Ⅱ) takes the oxgen atom as a symmetry center and its oxo-bridge present linear linkage. In accordance with the above-mentioned molecular configuration, steric effect and elec-tronic structure have been further discussed.

IR STUDY ON MONOMOLECULAR PARTICLE AGGLOMERATES OF POLYSTYRENE OBTAINED BY FREEZE-DRYING OF ITS DILUTE SOLUTION

The monomolecular particle agglomerates of polystyrenes were obtained by freeze-drying of its very dilutesolutions of 1.3×10~(-5)-2.0×10~(-5) g/mL in benzene: cylcohexane (100:1) solvents, and they were annealed at roomtemperature for hundred days before use. According to ~(13)C-NMR measurement the polystyrenes should be practically atactic.The number average molecular weights of the samples are 2.80×10~3, 2.00×10~4, and 1.55×10~6, respectively. The freeze-dried aPS with a molecular weight higher than 10~4 show two new IR absorption bands at 1098 and 1261 cm~(-1), which areabsent in the normal aPS and freeze-dried styrene oligomer. It was also found that the low molecular weight samples canonly form powders, whereas the freeze-dried aPS with higher molecular weight form a mixture of powders and fibrils, ofwhich the longer fibrils show a much stronger 1261 cm~(-1) band than the shorter fibrils and the powder. It seems that the1261 cm~(-1) band corresponds to the stacking behavior of monomolecular particles.     

MOLECULAR IMPRINTED POLYMERS——Novel Polymer Adsorbents

1. INTRODUCTIONMolecular imprinted polymers (MIPs) have attracted wide attention for its molecular recognition properties. More and more publications involved in the area of adsorption and separation with MIPs. As early as in 1931, Poljacov [1] found that the pore structure of silica gel was influenced by the size and shape of the molecules in the gas atmosphere when he removed water from the gel under the atmosphere of benzene, toluene and xylene. The gel dried in benzene atmosphere a…     

SYNTHESIS AND POLYMERIZATION OF α-METHACRYLYOXYLETHYLOXYCARBONYLMETHYL-ω-(N,N-DIETHYLDITHIOCARBAMYL)POLYSTYRENE MACROMONOMERS

Polystyrene macromonomers with different molecular weight were prepared by radical polymerization of styrene(St) in benzene using β-methacryloxylethyl 2-N,N-diethyldithiocarbamylacetate (MAEDCA) as a monomer-iniferter.Characterization of the macromonomer by ~1H-NMR showed that the end groups were α-methacrylyoxylethyloxycarbonyl-methyl and ω-(N,N-diethyldithiocarbamyl). The macromonomer was difficult to homopolymerize, but it was easilycopolymerized with methyl methacrylate (MMA) initiated by AIBN to form graft copolymers (PMMA-g-PSt) with PStbranches randomly distributed along the PMMA backbone. Copolymerization reaction and the structure of the graftcopolymers were strongly affected by M_n and concentration of the macromonomer. The composition and M_n of the purified graft copolymer were determined by ~1H-NMR and GPC analysis.     

An alternating copolymer of maleimide and atropic acid with narrow molecular weight distribution prepared by radical mechanism

Three basic conditions for preparation of alternating copolymer with narrow molecular weight distribution were derived from the element kinetic equations of binary radical copolymerization. Using maleimide (MI) and atropie acid (ATA) as model monomer pairs and dioxane as the solvent the alternating copolymer with molecular weight distribution in the range of 1.09--1.20 was prepared successfully by charger transfer complex (CTC) mechanism in the presence of benzoyl peroxide at 85℃. The monomer reactivity ratioes r_1(MI)=0.05±0.01 and r_2(ATA)=0.03±0.02 were measured. The alternating eopolymerization was carried out through formation of a contact-type CTG and then alternating addition of MI and ATA monomers. The molecular weight of the copolymers is nearly independent of the feed ratio in a large range and the polymerization rate dropped with an increase in ATA in feed ratio.     

ESR SPECTRA STUDY OF COPPER(Ⅱ) COORDINATION COMPLEXES OF PYRIDI

The ESR spectra of powdered samples of Cu(Ⅱ) complexes with pyridine and its sixhomologues and pyrrol, aniline, as well as their solutions are measured at 77K in this paper.The electronic levels of these complexes are calculated from the ESR spectral parameters.It is found that the non-pyridine ligands of complexes which can be substituted by pyridinemolecules of solvent in solution of pyridine/chloroform form Py_4Cu~(2 ). A molecular configura-tion is proposed. for Py_4Cu~(2 ) in solution. It is shown that the treatment with D_(2h) symmetryinstead of D_(4h) symmetry leads to a more satisfactory explanation of the ESR spectra.     

SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF POLYROTAXANES MADE FROM α-CDs THREADED ONTO TRIBLOCK COPOLYMERS WITH PEG AS A CENTRAL AXLE AND FLANKED BY TWO LOW MOLECULAR WEIGHT POLYSTYRENES AS OUTER STOPPERS

A study has been conducted on the synthesis and characterization of a kind of novel polyrotaxanes comprisingα- cyclodextrins (α-CDs) threaded on triblock eopolymers with poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) as a central axle and flanked by two low molecular weight polystyrenes as outer stoppers.Styrene was allowed to telomerize with polypseudorotaxanes as chain transfer agents made from the self-assembly of a distal thiol-capped PEG with a varying amount ofα-CDs in the presence of a redox initiation system at 40~C in aqueous solutions.The resulting polyrotaxanes were characterized in detail by ~1H-NMR,FTIR,XRD,TG and DSC analyses.The findings from the study demonstrated that the low molecular weight polystyrenes were successfully attached to two axle terminals of polypseudorotaxanes,and the number ofα-CDs threaded onto the PEG backbone was tunable by varying its molar feeding ratio to some extent,while the polymerization degree of PS nearly remained constant in this radical telomerization process.     

CuSO4-catalyzed self-initiated radical polymerization of 2-(N,N-dimethylamino) ethyl methacrylate as an intrinsically reducing inimer

Since tertiary amines (Cα-H) can be oxidized by peroxides and transition metal cations in high oxidation states into Cα· radicals to initiate vinylic polymerizations of methacrylates, Cu2+ and 2-(N,N-dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA) form a polymerizable redox initiating pair, in which DMAEMA serves as an intrinsically reducing inimer. CuSO4 -catalyzed aqueous self-initiated radical polymerizations of DMAEMA were successfully performed at ambient temperature via a continuous Cu2+-tertiary amine redox initiation based on catalyst regeneration in the presence of O2 . The polymerization kinetics was monitored by gas chromatography and the structure of PDMAEMA was characterized by gelpermeation chromatography, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, laser light scattering and online intrinsic-viscosity analysis. Both the monomer conversion and the molecular weight of PDMAEMA increase with the reaction while the molecular weight distribution maintains rather broad, as the Cu2+-DMAEMA redox-initiation leads to linear PDMAEMA chains with terminal methacryloxyl moieties, and the Cu2+-PDMAEMA redox-initiation results in branched chains. The branched topology forms and develops only for the high-MW components of the PDMAEMA. Our results provide a facile strategy to prepare branched polymers from such commercially available intrinsically reducing inimers using a negligible concentration of regenerative air-stable catalysts.     

STUDY ON SYNTHESIS OF HIGH VINYL POLYBUTADIENE WITH TETRAVALENT MOLYBDENUM CATALYST SYSTEM

In this paper the catalytic behaviour of tetravalent molybdenum catalyst system in polymeriza-tion of butadiene is dealt with. The effects of the variety of apions combined with molybdenumatom, the pattern of the substituent R in (i-Bu)_2AlOR and the polymerization conditions on thebutadiene conversion, the molecular weight and its distribution and the microstructure of the polymeralso are studied. It has been found that the catalyst system is significantly active when anions com-bined with the molybdenum atom are acetoxy (CH_3COO-),or ethoxy (C_2H_5O-). Obviously, thevariety of substituent R in (i-Bu)_2 AlOR has a great influence on the catalytic activity. The catalystsystem is inactive if the R group is--COR' (R'is alkyl or aromatic group) or alkyl, whereas the activityof the catalyst system increases if the R group is phenyl or tolyl. With the rise of polymerizationtemperature the polymer molecular weight decreases, the distribution index of molecular weight in-creases and the content of 1,2-unit in polybutadiene reduces.
