Formation of ionic liquid submicron particles. 1H and 19F nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopic studies

We prepared novel ionic liquid submicron particles (ILSPs) in water by emulsifying the ionic liquid (IL) N-(2-methoxyethyl)-N-methylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (Pyr_12O1TFSI), which is immiscible with water, with the nonionic surfactants Tween 20 and Span 80. The mean particle size and zeta potential of the ILSPs were about 580?nm and ?30?mV, respectively. The ILSPs were characterized using ¹H and ¹⁹F nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopic methods. The chemical shifts of the Pyr_12O1⁺ cation and TFSI^? anion in the ¹H and ¹⁹F NMR spectra of the ILSP suspension were consistent with those corresponding to pure Pyr_12O1TFSI. This indicated that most of the Pyr_12O1TFSI was still in the IL state in the ILSP suspension. In addition, ¹H–¹H nuclear Overhauser effect correlated spectroscopic measurements showed that the ILSP droplets contained Pyr_12O1TFSI in the neat IL steric state even in the ILSP suspension, and Pyr_12O1TFSI species localized in the droplet surfaces interacted with the hydrophobic acyl side chains of the surfactants. These NMR spectroscopic results show that the ILSPs formed an IL-in-water microemulsion in which droplets of neat Pyr_12O1TFSI were surrounded by the two surfactants, that is, Tween 20 and Span 80.     

Copolymers of 4‐(3′,4′‐Dimethoxycinnamoyl)phenyl Acrylate and MMA: Synthesis,Characterization, Photocrosslinking Properties,and Monomer Reactivity Ratios

Abstract

4‐(3′,4′‐Dimethoxycinnamoyl)phenyl acrylate (DMCPA) containing pendant chalcone moiety was copolymerized with methyl methacrylate (MMA) by radical polymerization in ethyl methyl ketone at 70°C under a nitrogen atmosphere using benzoyl peroxide (BPO) as a free radical initiator. The prepared polymer was characterized by UV, FT‐IR, ¹H‐NMR, and ¹³C‐NMR spectra. The composition of the copolymer was determined using ¹H‐NMR analysis. The monomer reactivity ratios of copolymerization were determined using conventional linearization methods such as Fineman–Ross (r ₁ = 0.26 and r ₂ = 0.61), Kelen–Tudos (r ₁ = 0.26 and r ₂ = 0.61), and Ext. Kelen–Tudos (r ₁ = 0.23 and r ₂ = 0.59), and a non‐linear error‐in‐variables model (EVM) method using the computer program RREVM (r ₁ = 0.2541 and r ₂ = 0.6094). The molecular weights (M _w and M _n) of the copolymers were determined by gel permeation chromatography. Thermogravimetric analysis of the polymers in air reveals that the stability of the copolymers decreases with an increase in the mole fraction of MMA in the copolymers. The solubility of the polymers was tested in various polar and non‐polar solvents. The glass transition temperature of the copolymers was determined as a function of copolymer composition. The copolymers were sensitive to UV light and became crosslinked after irradiation with 254 nm light.     

Synthesis and Characterization of Novel Methacrylic Copolymers: Determination of Monomer Reactivity Ratios

A new methacrylic monomer, 4‐nitro‐3‐methylphenyl methacrylate (NMPM) was prepared by reacting 4‐nitro‐3‐methyl phenol dissolved in methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) in the presence of triethylamine as a catalyst. Copolymerization of NMPM with methyl methacrylate (MMA) has been carried out in methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) by free radical solution polymerization at 70±1°C utilizing benzoyl peroxide (BPO) as initiator. Poly (NMPM‐co‐MMA) copolymers were characterized by FT‐IR, ¹H‐NMR and ¹³C‐NMR spectroscopy. The molecular weights (M_w and M_n) and polydispersity indices (M_w/M_n) of the polymers were determined using a gel permeation chromatograph. The glass transition temperatures (T_g) of the copolymers were determined by a differential scanning calorimeter, showing that T_g increases with MMA content in the copolymer. Thermogravimetric analysis of the polymers, performed under nitrogen, shows that the stability of the copolymer increases with an increase in NMPM content. The solubility of the polymers was tested in various polar and non‐polar solvents. Copolymer compositions were determined by ¹H‐NMR spectroscopy by comparing the integral peak heights of well separated aromatic and aliphatic proton peaks. The monomer reactivity ratios were determined by the Fineman‐Ross (r₁ =7.090:r₂=0.854), Kelen‐Tudos (r₁=7.693: r₂=0.852) and extended Kelen‐Tudos methods (r₁=7.550: r₂= 0.856).

For compound 2, each Co(III) ion is coordinated by four nitrogen atoms of ligand L₂ and two nitrogen atoms from N₃ ⁻ anion.

Abstract

Deuterated polyisobutylenes carrying protonated initiator fragments were prepared by the living polymerization technique employing perdeuterated isobutylene [CD₂=C(CD₃)₂] and select protonated initiators (see Scheme 1). The polymers were analyzed by ¹H- and ¹³C-NMR spectroscopy, and the resonances due to the protic initiator fragments were unequivocally assigned. The assignments of ¹³C-NMR signals were affected by the distortionless enhancement by polarization transfer mode of spectra accumulation.

Synthesis of heteroarm star polymers comprising poly(4-methylphenyl vinyl sulfoxide) segment by living anionic polymerization

<正>A series of 3-arm ABC and AA'B and 4-arm ABCD,AA'BC and AA′A″B heteroarm star polymers comprising one poly(4-methylphenyl vinyl sulfoxide) segment and other segments such as polystyrene,poly(α-methylstyrene), poly(4-methoxystyrene) and poly(4-trimethylsilylstyrene) were synthesized by living anionic polymerization based on diphenylethylene(DPE) chemistry.The DPE-functionalized polymers were synthesized by iterative methodology,and the objective star polymers were prepared by two distinct methodologies based on anionic polymerization using DPE-functionalized polymers.The first methodology involves an addition reaction of living anionic polymer with excess DPE-functionalized polymer and a subsequent living anionic polymerization of 4-methylphenyl vinyl sulfoxide(MePVSO) initiated from the in situ formed polymer anion with two or three polymer segments.The second methodology comprises an addition reaction of DPE-functionalized polymer with excess sec-BuLi and a following anionic polymerization of MePVSO initiated from the in situ formed polymer anion and 3-methyl-1,1-diphenylpentyl anion as well.Both approaches could afford the target heteroarm star polymers with predetermined molecular weight,narrow molecular weight distribution (M_w/M_n1.03) and desired composition,evidenced by SEC,~1H-NMR and SLS analyses.These polymers can be used as model polymers to investigate structure-property relationships in heteroarm star polymers.     

Determination of the Chemical Structure of Poly-β (-)-pinene by NMR Spectroscopy

This paper is dedicated to the memory of our friend and colleague Annalaura Segre.

The chemical structure of a series of β (-)-pinene polymers (PBP) obtained by radiation-induced polymerization, free radical initiation, cationic polymerization over a Friedel-Craft catalyst and by coordinative polymerization over a Ziegler-Natta catalyst has been fully elucidated by ¹H and ¹³C-NMR spectroscopy. 2D NMR techniques have been applied in order to assign all the NMR resonances to the structures of the PBP investigated. The NMR spectra show that the most regular PBP structure is obtained by radiation-induced polymerization followed by the free radical initiated polymerization. The most defective structure has been observed in the case of PBP prepared by cationic mechanism over a Friedel-Crafts catalyst. The discussion accounts for different types of defects and cross-links present in the PBPs investigated whose fundamental structure is based on the p-menthene repeating unit.

NMR self-diffusion measurements have been performed to evaluate the molecular weight of all the PBP investigated. The highest molecular weight (2600 Dalton) was found in the case of PBP prepared by Ziegler-Natta catalyst, while the lowest molecular weight was found in the case of PBP prepared by radiation-induced polymerization (about 1000 Dalton).     

On the regioselectivity of alkylation of the (trimethylsilyl)tetramethylcyclopentadienide anion. A new approach to the synthesis of 1,2,3,4-tetramethylfulvene

The regioselectivity of alkylation of lithium (trimethylsilyl)tetramethylcyclopentadienide C₅Me₄SiMe₃ ⁻Li⁺ was studied by ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy using its reactions with MeI, MeOTs, ClCH₂CH₂Br, and ClCH₂CH₂I in different solvents as representative examples. Sterically non-hindered MeI and MeOTs presumably attack the C atom bonded to the silyl group giving 1,2,3,4,5-pentamethylcyclopentadienylsilane. For bulkier alkyl halides, such as ClCH₂CH₂Br and ClCH₂CH₂I, the regioselectivity of alkylation changes to form preferentially gem-dialkyl-substituted cyclopentadienes. The reaction of C₅Me₄SiMe₃ ⁻Li⁺ with formaldehyde affords 1,2,3,4-tetramethylfulvene in a high yield, providing an alternative synthetic approach to a number of ω-functionalized peralkylated cyclopentadienes. The quantum-chemical calculations of the C₅Me₄SiMe₃ ⁻ anion by the RHF and DFT (RMPW1PW91) methods in the valence-split 6-311+G(d,p) basis set are in good agreement with the experimental data.__________Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Polystyrene latex particles coated with crosslinked poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)

Thermoresponsive colloidal particles were prepared by seeded precipitation polymerization of N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM) in the presence of a crosslinking monomer, N,N-methylenebisacrylamide (MBA), using polystyrene latex particles (ca. 50 nm in diameter) as seeds in aqueous dispersion. Phase transitions of the prepared poly(N-isopropylacrylamide), PNIPAM, shells on polystyrene cores were studied in comparison to colloidal PNIPAM microgel particles, in H₂O and/or in D₂O by dynamic light scattering, microcalorimetry and by ¹H NMR spectroscopy including the measurements of spin–lattice (T1) and spin–spin (T2) relaxation times for the protons of PNIPAM. As expected, the seed particles grew in hydrodynamic size during the crosslinking polymerization of NIPAM, and a larger NIPAM to seed mass ratio in the polymerization batch led to a larger increase of particle size indicating a product coated with a thicker PNIPAM shell. Broader microcalorimetric endotherms of dehydration were observed for crosslinked PNIPAM on the solid cores compared to the PNIPAM microgels and also an increase of the transition temperature was observed. The calorimetric results were complemented by the NMR spectroscopy data of the ¹H-signal intensities upon heating in D₂O, showing that the phase transition of crosslinked PNIPAM on polystyrene core shifts towards higher temperatures when compared to the microgels, and also that the temperature range of the transition is broader.     

Oxoaminium salts as initiators for cationic polymerization of vinyl monomers

Oxoaminium salt ( 1 ), derived from 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl (TEMPO, 2 ) by one-electron oxidation, could be an initiator for cationic polymerization of vinyl monomers such as isobutyl vinyl ether (IBVE), 2,3-dihydrofuran, p-methoxystyrene, N-vinyl pyrrolidone, etc., to give the corresponding polymers, when 1 had a low nucleophilic counter anion. Formation of the adducts of 1 and IBVE as well as ¹H-NMR and IR data suggested the formation of polymers containing N? O? C structure as the polymer head group. In the polymerization of IBVE, the effects of solvent and concentration of 1 were little observed, however the polymerization rate was dependent on temperature. Furthermore, the thermal reaction of the polymers obtained, which were regarded as prepolymers for block copolymerization and polymeric initiators for radical polymerization, was studied. For example, poly(2-benzylidene-1,3-dioxane) obtained by the polymerization of 2-benzylidene-1,3-dioxane with oxoaminium hexafluoroantimonate ( 1, X = SbF₆) was employed as an initiator for radical polymerization of MMA to give its block copolymer with PMMA. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

First example of latices synthesis via oligomerization of norbornene in aqueous emulsions,catalyzed by palladium chloride

Polymerization of norbornene using PdCl₂ as catalyst is generally carried out at high temperatures in the absence of solvent. Low yields of polymer with relatively undefined molecular weights are obtained under these conditions. We describe the first example of polymerization of norbornene in water dispersion or aqueous emulsions catalyzed by PdCl₂. Good yields of polymers and oligomers were obtained. Furthermore, in aqueous emulsions, novel microlatex which cannot be obtained by radical or ionic routes were synthesized, with particles sizes (10 nm.) generally only observed in microemulsion polymerizations.The stereochemistry of the polymers of low molecular weight was partially elucidated by¹³C NMR.     

Synthesis of ionic polymers by free radical polymerization using aprotic trimethylsilylmethyl-substituted monomers

Aprotic ionic polymers containing trimethylsilylmethyl-substituted imidazolium structures are synthesized using free radical polymerization of monomers comprising a vinyl group either at the cation or at the anion. Bulk polymerization is used for the room temperature ionic liquid monomer 1-trimethylsilylmethyl-3-vinylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide. In contrast to this, solution polymerization is applied for 1-trimethylsilylmethyl-3-methylimidazolium p-styrene sulfonate because this monomer undergoes self-polymerization during melting at a higher temperature than selected for bulk polymerization. Glass transition temperature (T _g) of the ionic polymers and intrinsic viscosity measurements indicate differences between these polymers, which are composed either of a polycation with a trimethylsilylmethyl substituent at each vinylimidazolium segment of the polymer chain and mobile bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide (NTf₂⁻) anions or a polyanion containing p-styrene sulfonate segments and mobile 1-trimethylsilylmethyl-3-methylimidazolium cations. The new aprotic ionic polymers containing trimethylsilylmethyl substituents may be interesting for application in adhesive, interlayer and membrane manufacturing.
