LB膜中NMOB分子构象的研究

利用DFTB3LYP/4-31G^*方法,对2-硝基-5-(N-甲基-N-十八烷基)氨基苯甲酸(NMOB)进行研究。计算结果发现,苯环的5位碳原子、氨基氮原子以及十八烷基链上与其最临近的两个碳原子所组成的两面角(D)约为90ⅲ时,NMOB有最稳构象,在NMOB自交替膜中,NMOB即以这种构象存在;而D=180ⅲ时,体系总能量较最稳构象高出31.57kJ/mol,这种构象存在于NMOB/花生酸镉(CdA)交替膜中,较小的能量差异使NMOB容易在两种构象之间进行转化,在NMOB/花生酸镉(CdA)交替膜中因受到花生酸直立构象紧密排列的诱导作用,NMOB分子以能量相对较高的构象存在。     

苝酰亚胺受体的聚集形态对有机太阳电池中激子过程与电子传输的影响（英文）

末端烷基链分叉位置对苝酰亚胺(PBI)线性二联体的堆积模式具有显著影响,进而影响激子过程与载流子传输.二联体两端烷基链分叉位点紧靠苝酰亚胺能够抑制分子长程有序堆积,形成具有较少能量陷阱的无定形聚集态;而两端烷基链分叉位点远离苝酰亚胺则导致多种聚集结构共存,分子间强π-π相互作用位点成为能量陷阱.结果表明, PBI受体的聚集方式对有机太阳电池的性能产生重要影响,需要尽量减少活性层中的多种聚集结构共存以免引起激子解离受限以及载流子传输迟滞.     

N-取代马来酰亚胺光学活性聚合物研究进展

N-取代马来酰亚胺由于刚性内酰亚胺五元环的存在,在聚合时一般按反式加成进行,得到苏式双全同和苏式双间同两种构型的聚合物.其中苏式双间同结构由于具有等量的(R,R)和(S,S)结构而不产生光学活性,而苏式双全同结构中含有过量的(R,R)或(S,S)结构时聚合物呈现光学活性.而且,高度连续的(R,R)或(S,S)结构能使主链形成螺旋构象.N-取代马来酰亚胺单体上不同的取代基、不同的聚合方法以及聚合时选用的不同配体都对得到的聚合物主链中苏式双全同构象的量有显著影响.本文综述了各种N-取代马来酰亚胺光学活性聚合物的研究进展.

Physico-chemical characterization of MCM-41 silica spheres made by the pseudomorphic route and grafted with octadecyl chains

This work reports on the first comprehensive characterization of octadecyl (C(18)) modified MCM-41 silica spheres, prepared via the pseudomorphic route, followed by grafting with mono- or trifunctional octadecyl (C(18)) alkyl chains and endcapping with hexamethyldisilazane. Small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), nitrogen adsorption-desorption and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) measurements were performed to obtain information about the MCM-41 pore structure, surface properties and morphological features. The degree of grafting and cross-linking of the silanes were determined by (29)Si magic angle spinning NMR spectroscopy, while FTIR and (13)C NMR were employed to study the conformational behavior of the surface-immobilized alkyl chains. The SAXS pattern proved the existence of a hexagonal mesopore arrangement for both the ungrafted and the grafted MCM-41 silica spheres. In addition, there is evidence of some long-range distortion in the pore structure. SEM measurements revealed the same morphological features for the parent silica and the MCM-41 silica spheres before and after C(18) grafting. The achieved surface loading for the MCM-41 material is rather low. It was also shown that a substantial amount of the accessible surface silanol groups is endcapped by trimethylsilane which in turn results in a very low surface coverage due to the octadecyl chains. The nitrogen sorption studies provided values for the surface area, total pore volume and pore diameter which are very typical for mesoporous materials. The reduction in surface area and total pore volume upon surface grafting is related to the binding of trimethylsilane in the interior of the pores, while due to the spatial restrictions octadecyl chains are primarily attached near the pore entrance. The experimental FTIR and (13)C NMR data point to a very low conformational order of the C(18) chains which is in accordance with the observed low surface coverage and the resulting spatial freedom for these surface-immobilized alkyl chains.     

Effect of surface coverage on the conformation and mobility of C18-modified silica gels

C18-modified silica gels with surface coverages of 2 to 8.2 micromol m(-2), were prepared by different synthetic pathways and characterized by Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, and chromatographic measurements. The effects of temperature and bonding density on the conformational order of C18-modified silica gels were studied in detail by FTIR spectroscopy. The silane functionality and degree of cross-linking of silane ligands on the silica surface were evaluated by 29Si cross-polarization magic-angle spinning (CP/MAS) NMR and the structural order and mobility of the alkyl chains were investigated by 13C CP/MAS NMR spectroscopy. CH2 symmetric and anti-symmetric stretching bands and CH2 wagging bands were used as IR probes to monitor the conformational order and flexibility of the alkyl chains in the C18 phases. Qualitative information about the conformational order was obtained from frequency shifts of the CH2 symmetric and anti-symmetric stretching bands. The relative amounts of kink/gauche-trans-gauche, double-gauche, and end-gauche conformers in the alkyl chains were determined by analysis of CH2 wagging bands. These results indicate that surface coverage plays a dominant role in the conformational order of C18-modified silica gels. The FTIR and NMR data are discussed in the context of the chromatographic shape-selectivity differences.     

Conformational order of n-alkyl modified silica gels as evaluated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy

The conformational behaviour of non-deuterated and selectively deuterated alkyl modified silica gels in the dry state is examined by variable temperature FT IR spectroscopy. In the present study, three systems are considered, which are distinguished by the length of the tethered alkyl chains (C9Hl9-, C18H37-, C22H45-). The desired information is obtained by the analysis of various conformational-sensitive IR bands, including CH2 wagging, CD2 stretching and CD2 rocking bands. The analysis of the CH2 wagging bands provides the relative amounts (i.e., integral numbers over the whole chain) of the kink/gauche-trans-gauche, double-gauche and end-gauche conformers in the tethered alkyl chains. From the analysis of the CD2 stretching and CD2 rocking bands information about the conformational order at a specific deuterated methylene segment is available. Here, the CD2 rocking band data are used to determine the amount of gauche conformers at the deuterated carbon positions C-4 and C-6, and C-12. It is found that the conformational order critically depends on the actual alkyl chain length, chain position and sample temperature. Particular emphasis is given to the impact of the external pressure during sample preparation on the alkyl chain conformations, about which so far no information is available. It is observed that the samples prepared as KBr pellets, which experienced a pressure of about 10 kbar, are characterised by a lower amount of gauche conformers. This substantial increase of conformational order is attributed to better alkyl chain packing along with a gain of intermolecular chain interactions.     

四氯合锌酸二(正十一烷基铵)晶体相变的Raman光谱

用Raman光谱研究了[n-C~11H~23NH~3]~2ZnCl~4(简记为C~nZn)配合物的固-固相变。结果表明, 配合物产生的固-固相变主要与烷烃链的堆积结构和分子构象变化有关, 在T~cl=25℃的相变是由于烷烃链的侧向堆积和分子构象的有序到部分无序变化。在中间相, 分子链局部产生旁式构象。在T~c2=87℃的相变主要来源于烷烃链从部分构象有序到完全无序的变化, 高温相形成了构象完全无序相, 相应于烷烃链的"熔化"。     

Melting of saturated fatty acid zinc soaps

The melting of alkyl chains in the saturated fatty acid zinc soaps of different chain lengths, Zn(C(n)H(2n+1)COO)(2); n = 11, 13, 15, and 17, have been investigated by powder X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry, and vibrational spectroscopy. These compounds have a layer structure with the alkyl chains arranged as tilted bilayers and with all methylene chains adopting a planar, all-trans conformation at room temperature. The saturated fatty acid zinc soaps exhibit a single reversible melting transition with the associated enthalpy change varying linearly with alkyl chain length, but surprisingly, the melting temperature remaining constant. Melting is associated with changes in the conformation of the alkyl chains and in the nature of coordination of the fatty acid to zinc. By monitoring features in the infrared spectra that are characteristic of the global conformation of the alkyl chains, a quantitative relation between conformational disorder and melting is established. It is found that, irrespective of the alkyl chain length, melting occurs when 30% of the chains in the soap are disordered. These results highlight the universal nature of the melting of saturated fatty acid zinc soaps and provide a simple explanation for the observed phenomena.     

Effect of alkyl side chain length on the properties of polyetherimides from molecular simulation combined with experimental results

Three polyetherimides (PEIs) with the same backbone of Ultem 100 but different lengths of the alkyl side chains were simulated by using molecular dynamics and molecular mechanics techniques to investigate the effect of side chain length on their properties and physical mechanism behind. Simulation results, which are consistent to the experimental data, show that PEI‐5 with four methylene units in each alkyl side chain has higher T_g (glass transition temperature) and higher tensile strength, but lower tensile elongation at break than those of PEI‐6 with five and PEI‐8 with seven methylene units in each alkyl side chain. However, unlike the traditional phenomena, conformational analysis provides that PEI‐5 with the highest T_g gives the highest flexibility to the polymer chain, whereas PEI‐8 with the lowest T_g imparts the lowest flexibility resulting from attachment of longer alkyl side chain increase the rigidity of backbone. From the calculated ratio of the accessible volume to the total volume for each system, the highest ratio of PEI‐8 indicates that long alkyl side chains generate more free volume than short side chains, acting as an internal plasticizer in bulk structure. It is the internal plasticizing effect that is predominantly responsible for the abnormal properties, instead of the rigidity from side chains. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
