Chelate Polymers. V. Novel Alternating Copolymers Based on Transition Metal–Azomethine Complexes and Siloxanes

Abstract

The Schiff base of 2,4‐dihydroxybenzaldehyde with ethylenediamine has been prepared and complexed with two different divalent metals: Cu(II) and Ni(II). The resulting bisphenolic chelates were inserted in new alternating polymeric structures by their polycondensation with 1,3‐bis‐(chloromethyl)‐1,1,3,3‐tetramethyldisiloxane or α, ω‐bis(chloromethyl)oligodimethylsiloxanes having different numbers of siloxane units in the chains. In order for their activation, the chelates were converted in salt forms by previously treating them with a NaOH 0.1 N solution or in situ in the presence of anhydrous K₂CO₃. DMF was used as a solvent. The structures of the ligand, complexes, and polymers obtained on their basis were confirmed by IR, UV, and ¹H NMR. Characterization was undertaken by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), solubility tests, and viscosity measurements.     

Chelate polymers. VI. New copolymers of the some siloxane containing bis(2,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyd-imine)Me with bis(p-carboxyphenyl)diphenylsilane

New high complex polymeric structures containing metal chelate sequences alternating, through esteric bridges, with silane units were obtained. The azomethine of 2,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde with 1,3-bis(aminopropyl)tetramethyldisiloxane has been synthesized and in situ complexed with copper (II), nickel (II), cobalt (II) and cadmium (II). The obtained bis-phenolic chelates were covalently inserted in polymeric linear structures by their polycondensation with bis(p-carboxyphenyl)diphenylsilane as a diacid chloride. The structures of the obtained polymers were confirmed by IR, UV, ¹H NMR and elemental analysis. The characterization was made by TGA, DSC, solubility tests and GPC. The electrical conductivity of both chelate monomers and their polymers was investigated, all compounds showing typical semiconducting behaviors.     

Chelate polymers. III. New polyazomethines of 5,5′‐methylene‐bissalicylaldehyde with siloxane diamines and their divalent metal complexes

Novel polymeric azomethines of 5,5′‐methylene‐bissalicylaldehyde with two siloxane diamines {H₂N(CH₂)₃(CH₃)₂SiO[(CH₃)₂SiO]_mSi(CH₃)₂(CH₂)₃NH₂, where m = 0 or 6.5} were obtained. Their structures were confirmed by elemental and spectral [IR, ultraviolet–visible (UV–vis), and ¹H NMR] analysis. The obtained polyazomethines were converted into the chelates of some divalent metals (copper, cobalt, and nickel). The resulting complexes were characterized by electronic and IR spectral measurements, elemental analysis, and thermal studies. From IR and UV–vis studies, the phenolic oxygen and imine nitrogen of the ligand were found to be the coordination sites. The thermogravimetric data indicated that the chelates were less stable than the corresponding ligands and that the thermostability depended on the siloxane segment length and the nature of the metal. Both the macromolecular ligands and the parts of the resultant chelates were soluble in common organic solvents, such as CHCl₃, CH₂Cl₂, dimethylformamide, and dimethyl sulfoxide. The surface compositions of the ligands and some chelates were examined by X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem 41: 3169–3179, 2003

New ligands were obtained by the reaction of 1,3‐bis(3‐aminopropyl)tetramethyldisiloxane, with acetylacetone, 2,4‐dihydroxybenzophenone and 2,4‐dihydroxyacetophenone. The structures were confirmed by electronic, IR and ¹H NMR spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The change of the refractive index of the siloxanes by their chemical modification was also examined. These compounds were used for coordination of some divalent metals. The ligands and their metal complexes were both soluble in common solvents, such as CHCl₃, dimethylformamide, dimethylsulfoxide, N‐methyl‐2‐pyrrolidone. Some of the bifunctional chelates were inserted into polymeric structures by polycondensation with the diacid chloride of bis(p‐carboxyphenyl)diphenylsilane.

Structural characterization of silica modified polyimide membranes

Polyimide and hybrid polyimide‐siloxane were synthesized by polycondensation, imidization, and sol‐gel reaction. The polyimides were prepared from pyromellitic dianhydride (PMDA) and 4,4‐oxydianiline (ODA) in N‐methyl‐2‐pyrollidone (NMP). Trimethoxyvinyl silane (TMVS) was used as a source of silica. Their surface morphologies, structures and thermal performances were determined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), infrared spectroscopy (IR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The results showed that the silica particles were finely and rather homogeneously dispersed in polymers. The glass transition temperature (T_g) of hybrid membrane materials increased with the increasing silica content. TGA analysis showed that polyimides were thermally stable with silica. Modified polyimide‐siloxane films, thermal characteristics were found to be better than the polyimide films without silica. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Synthesis,structural, spectroscopic,and thermal studies of some transition-metal complexes of a ligand containing the amino mercapto triazole moiety

A new series of transition-metal complexes of Schiff base ligand containing the amino mercapto triazole moiety ( HL ) was prepared. The Schiff base and its metal complexes were elucidated by different spectroscopic techniques (infrared [IR], ¹H nuclear magnetic resonance, UV–Visible, mass, and electron spin resonance [ESR]), and magnetic moment and thermal studies. Quantum chemical calculations have been carried out to study the structure of the ligand and some of its complexes. The IR spectra showed that the ligand is chelated with the metal ion in a neutral, tridentate, and bidentate manner using NOS and NO donors in complexes 1 – 6 , 10–12 , and 7 and 8 , respectively, whereas it behaves in a monobasic tridentate fashion using NOS donor sites in copper(II) nitrate complex ( 9 ). The magnetic moment and electronic spectra data revealed octahedral and square pyramidal geometries for complexes 2 , 11 , 12 , and 5 – 8 and 10 , respectively. However, the other complexes were found to have tetrahedral ( 4 ), trigonal bipyramidal ( 1 and 3 ), and square planar ( 9 ) structures. Thermal studies revealed that the chelates with different crystallized solvents undergo different types of interactions and the decomposition pathway ended with the formation of metal oxygen (MO) and metal sulfur (MS) as final products. The ESR spectrum of copper(II) complex 10 is axial in nature with hyperfine splitting with ²B_1g as a ground state. By contrast, complexes 7 and 8 undergo distortion around the Cu(II) center, affording rhombic ESR spectra. The HL ligand and some of its complexes were screened against two bacterial species. Data showed that complex 12 demonstrated a better antibacterial activity than HL ligand and other chelates.

Magnetic and UV–visible measurements proposed that the coordination environments are square pyramidal, tetrahedral and octahedral geometries for oxovanadium (IV), Cu (II) and Fe (III), respectively. The ligand acts as mono‐negative NO towards oxovanadium (IV) and Cu (II) ions, and bi‐negative ONO for Fe (III) ion. The geometries of the ligand and its complexes were performed using Gaussian 9 program with density functional theory. The EPR spectral data of oxovanadium (IV) and Cu (II) chelates confirmed the mentioned geometries. The molecular modeling was done, and illustrated bond lengths, bond angles, molecular electrostatic potential, Mulliken atomic charges and chemical reactivity for the inspected compounds. Theoretical IR and ¹H‐NMR of the free ligand were calculated. Furthermore, thermodynamic and kinetic parameters for thermal decomposition steps were studied.
