STUDIES ON ORGANIC PEROXIDE/N, NDI (2-α-METHYL-ACRYLOYLOXY PROPYL)-PARA-TOLUIDINE BINARY SYSTEMS

The polymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) initiated by organic peroxide and polymerizable aromatic tertiary amine such as N, N-di (2-α-methylacryloyloxy propyl)-p-toluidine (MP)_2PT binary system has been studied. It was found that the (MP)_2PT promotes MMA polymerization, and the kinetics of MMA polymerization fits the radical polymerization rate equation. Based on the ESR studies and the end-group analysis the initiation mechanism is proposed.     

Stabilized phosphatidylinositol-5-phosphate analogues as ligands for the nuclear protein ING2: chemistry, biology, and molecular modeling

The interaction of PtdIns(5)P with the tumor suppressor protein ING2 has been implicated in the regulation of chromatin modification. To enhance the stability of PtdIns(5)P for studies of the biological role in vivo, two phosphatase-resistant moieties were used to replace the labile 5-phosphate. The total asymmetric synthesis of the 5-methylenephosphonate (MP) and 5-phosphothionate (PT) analogues of PtdIns(5)P is described herein, and the resulting metabolically stabilized lipid analogues were evaluated in three ways. First, liposomes containing either the dioleoyl MP or PT analogues bound to recombinant ING2 similar to liposomes containing dipalmitoyl PtdIns(5)P, indicating that the replacement of the hydrolyzable 5-phosphate group does not compromise the binding. Second, the dioleoyl MP and PT PtdIns(5)P analogues were equivalent to dipalmitoyl PtdIns(5)P in augmenting cell death induced by a DNA double-strand break in HT1080 cells. Finally, molecular modeling and docking of the MP or PT analogues to the C-terminus PtdInsP-binding region of ING2 (consisting of a PHD finger and a polybasic region) revealed a number of complementary surface and electrostatic contacts between the lipids and ING2.

On the pyrolysis mechanism of 2-pyranones and 2-pyranthiones: thermally induced ground electronic state chemistry of pyran-2-thione

[reaction: see text] This work reports studies of thermochemistry of pyran-2-thione (PT), a sulfur derivative of alpha-pyrone (AP). Moderate heating of PT results in scrambling of sulfur and oxygen atoms in the molecule and formation of isomeric thiapyran-2-one (TP). The products of pyrolysis of PT were studied experimentally by a combined use low temperature matrix isolation and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The infrared spectrum of the TP monomer isolated in solid argon at 10 K was completely assigned based on comparison with theoretical calculations undertaken at the DFT(B3LYP)/6-311++G(d,p) level. The upper limit of thermal stability of PT was investigated using the differential scanning calorimetry technique. It was found that pyrolysis of PT is already initiated at temperatures below 130 degrees C. The mechanism of the observed pyrolytical conversion has been studied theoretically at the MP2/6-311++G(d,p) level, in the ground electronic state. The primary step of the pyrolytical reaction in PT is the alpha-cleavage of the C-O single bond. It proceeds via an open-ring thioketene-aldehyde structure, TK1. According to the calculations, the ring-opening reaction from PT to TK1 requires an activation energy less than 80 kJ mol(-1), at 130 degrees C, being the rate-determining step. Further steps of the pyrolytical reaction involve internal rotations around single bonds and [1,5] sigmatropic shift of the aldehydic hydrogen. Pyrolytical ring-opening reactions were studied theoretically also for AP and TP and compared to the pyrolysis of PT. It is suggested that the relative ease of the pyrolytical transformation in PT can be explained in terms of existence of the additional minimum TK1 in the reaction path. No counterparts for this structure could be theoretically located for AP and TP.

Fabrication of monodisperse luminescent nanoparticles with core/shell poly(styrene/thiophene) structure

Luminescent poly(styrene/thiophene) (PSt/PT) core/shell nanoparticles were prepared by oxidative polymerization in the presence of PSt seed particles. PSt seed particles with uniform size distribution were prepared with an anionic surfactant by an emulsion polymerization process, and were used as a template to prepare monodispersive PT‐coated nanoparticles. A luminescent Polythiophene (PT) layer was formed on the surface of PSt nanoparticles by oxidation polymerization with iron chloride (FeCl₃) and hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂). The mechanism of core/shell formation was found to be the interface‐dominant polymerization induced by the electrostatic attraction between the sulfonate group of anionic surfactant and Fe³⁺ ions after the diffusion of thiophene monomer to the PSt nanoparticles. Field‐emission scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) proved the core/shell structure, which provided key evidence that PT was incorporated onto the surface of PSt nanoparticles. In addition, the effect of the PT shell thickness on photoluminescent (PL) intensity was investigated by changing the shell thickness of PSt/PT nanoparticles. We observed that the PL intensity increased up to about 30 nm of PT shell thickness, and then decreased due to self‐absorption. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

STUDIES ON TiCI4/Mg (OEt)_2/EB SUPPORTED CATALYSTS FOR PROPYLENE POLYMERIZATION

The supported catalysts for propylene polymerization were prepared by milling Mg (OEt)_2 with EB (ethylbenzoate) and treating with TiCl_4 solution. When TiCl_4/(Mg(OEt)_2/EB) (mol.) ratio was increased, decrease in contents of-OEt and Ti of the catalysts was observed, while the content of EB increased. It is proved by analyses of IR, X-ray and XPS that during co-milling Mg(OEt)_2 with EB no reactions have taken place. But after treatment with TiCl_4 solution, Mg(OEt)_2 converts into MgCl_2 and EB coordinates on the resulting MgCl_2 carrier, a surface complex forms.The activity of catalysts,isotacticity and vicosimetric molecular weight of polypropylene increase with the decrease of the content of ethoxyl group. The kinetic curves of propene polymerization obtained with present catalysts system display decay curves. It is found from the triad tacticity calculated from the expanded spectra of methyl carbon region that, ethoxyl group in catalyst has an effect on the configuration of polymer chain.

Polymerization of mixtures of alkyl methacrylates or alkyl acrylates with 4-methyl-1-pentene by Ziegler-Natta catalyst

Mixtures of methyl methacrylate (MMA) and 4-methyl-1-pentene (4MP)(molar ratio MMA/4MP = 3–0.1) have been subjected to polymerization by VOCl₃/Al(C₂H₅)₃. The amorphous polymeric products, extractable with boiling methanol up to 75%, consist mainly of MMA monomeric units (～80%). The composition of the product was almost independent of the starting MMA/4MP ratio. Comparison of these results with thoseof homopolymerization experiments shows that the presence of MMA drastically reduces the polymerization rate of 4MP. Moreover, 4MP is polymerized with rather low stereospecificity in the presence of MMA. Fractionation by solvent extraction of the unchanged polymeric products as well as of hydrolyzed samples seems to exclude the formation of random copolymers, suggesting to us that the polymerization of the two monomers takes place by different mechanisms. On taking into account these data and analogous data obtained with 4MP and alkyl acrylates or tert-butyl methacrylate, is it suggested that, contrary to what has previously been proposed, the MMA polymerization by Ziegler-Natta catalysts does not take place at the same centers which polymerize 4MP; moreover a coordinated anionic mechanism for MMA polymerization does not seem to be very probable.     

Polymerization of (E)‐1,3‐Pentadiene and (E)‐2‐methyl‐1,3‐pentadiene with neodymium catalysts: Examination of the factors that affect the stereoselectivity

(E)‐1,3‐Pentadiene (EP) and (E)‐2‐methyl‐1,3‐pentadiene (2MP) were polymerized to cis‐1,4 polymers with homogeneous and heterogeneous neodymium catalysts to examine the influence of the physical state of the catalyst on the polymerization stereoselectivity. Data on the polymerization of (E)‐1,3‐hexadiene (EH) are also reported. EP and EH gave cis‐1,4 isotactic polymers both with the homogeneous and with the heterogeneous system, whereas 2MP gave an isotactic cis‐1,4 polymer with the heterogeneous catalyst and a syndiotactic cis‐1,4 polymer, never reported earlier, with the homogeneous one. For comparison, the results obtained with the soluble CpTiCl₃‐based catalyst (Cp = cyclopentadienyl), which gives cis‐1,4 isotactic poly(2MP), are examined. A tentative interpretation is given for the mechanism of the formation of the stereoregular polymers obtained and a complete NMR characterization of the cis‐1,4‐syndiotactic poly(2MP) is reported. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Theoretical study of proton transfer in ammonia–hydrogen halides in the presence of methanol

In this work, the effect of solvent (methanol, CH₃OH) molecules on proton transfer (PT) between ammonia and hydrogen halides was studied. We performed MP2 and B3LYP calculations on HX–NH₃–(CH₃OH) _n clusters for three hydrogen halides, HF, HCl, and HBr, with the number of methanol molecules varying from none to three (n = 0–3). The results showed that stepwise association of methanol molecules with the gas-phase complex can eventually facilitate ionization within the complex, producing the $ {\text{NH}}_{4}^{ + } {\text{X}}^{ - } - \left( {{\text{CH}}_{ 3} {\text{OH}}} \right)_{\text{n}} $ cluster. We found that PT occurs on addition of from one (for HBr) to three (for HF) methanol molecules. The interaction energy $ E_{\text{int}} $ and $ \Updelta E_{\text{add}} $ for the complexes were calculated and basis set superposition error (BSSE) correction was also performed. Atoms-in-molecule and natural-bond-orbital analysis were used to study the properties of the hydrogen bonds in the complexes.     

Quantitative analysis of PET microplastics in environmental model samples using quantitative 1H-NMR spectroscopy: validation of an optimized and consistent sample clean-up method

Identification and quantification of microplastics (MP) in environmental samples is crucial for understanding the risk and distribution of MP in the environment. Currently, quantification of MP particles in environmental samples and the comparability of different matrices is a major research topic. Research also focusses on sample preparation, since environmental samples must be free of inorganic and organic matrix components for the MP analysis. Therefore, we would like to propose a new method that allows the comparison of the results of MP analysis from different environmental matrices and gives a MP concentration in mass of MP particles per gram of environmental sample. This is possible by developing and validating an optimized and consistent sample preparation scheme for quantitative analysis of MP particles in environmental model samples in conjunction with quantitative ¹H-NMR spectroscopy (qNMR). We evaluated for the first time the effects of different environmental matrices on identification and quantification of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) fibers using the qNMR method. Furthermore, high recovery rates were obtained from spiked environmental model samples (without matrix ~ 90%, sediment ~ 97%, freshwater ~ 94%, aquatic biofilm ~ 95%, and invertebrate matrix ~ 72%), demonstrating the high analytical potential of the method.

Radical polymerizations of two stereoisomeric trimethacrylates with rigid adamantane‐like cores from naturally occurring myo‐inositol

Two stereoisomeric trimethacrylates, T1 and T2 , which share a common adamantane‐like rigid core, were synthesized from naturally occurring myo‐inositol, and their radical polymerization behaviors were investigated. For the synthesis of T1 , myo‐inositol was converted to triol 1 , bearing one equatorial hydroxyl group and two axial hydroxyl groups, by orthoesterification, which was used as a precursor. For the synthesis of T2 , 1 was converted to triol 2 , bearing three axial hydroxyl groups, which was used as a precursor. Investigations on the radical polymerization of T1 and T2 , which potentially accompanies the cyclopolymerization of the axially oriented methacrylate moieties, revealed significant differences between the two. (1) The polymerization of T1 affords networked and thus insoluble polymers PT1 , while that of T2 affords less crosslinked and thus soluble polymers PT2 . (2) The amount of residual methacrylate moieties was larger in PT2 than in PT1 . (3) PT2 had higher thermal stability than PT1 , though PT2 contained a larger amount of unreacted methacrylate moieties. These tendencies were successfully correlated with the difference in cyclopolymerization efficiency between the polymerizations of the two monomers. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym.

A NOVEL PHOTO-INITIATING SYSTEM FOR ATOM TRANSFER RADICAL POLYMERIZATION OF STYRENE

A novel photo-induced initiating system, 2, 2 - dimethoxy-2-phenylacetophenone (DMPA)/ferric tri(N,N-diethyl-dithiocarbamate) [Fe(DC)_3], was developed and used for the atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) of styrene intoluene. The polymerization proceeds with DMPA as photo-initiator, Fc(DC)_3 as catalyst and DC as a reversible transfergroup, while the halogen and ligands are free. Well-defined PSt was prepared and the polymerization mechanism revealed byend group analysis belongs to a reverse ATRP. Block copolymer was prepared by using thus obtained PSt as macroinitiatorand Fe(DC)_2 as catalyst under UV light irradiation via a conventional ATRP process.

The phonon-assisted proton transfer between hydrazinium cations in (N2H5)2HMF6·2H2O (M∈{Ga, Al, Fe}) type compounds. FT IR and quantum theoretical study

FT IR spectra of a series of compounds with a general formula (N₂H₅)₂HMF₆·2H₂O (where M∈{Ga, Al, Fe}) were recorded at variable temperatures (from ∼100 to 300 K, at 10 K intervals). The appearance of the spectral region of ν(N-N) modes due to hydrazinium cations further supports the conclusions regarding the N₂H₅⁺?H⁺?N₂H₅⁺ hydrogen bond potential well based on Raman spectroscopic data [J. Raman Spectrosc. 28 (1997) 315]. The appearance of two bands corresponding to the ν(N-N) modes in the low temperature FT IR spectra that merge into one upon heating is a clear evidence of a symmetric potential well through which a phonon-assisted proton transfer (PAPT) occurs at higher temperatures. Ab initio MP2/6-311++G(2d,p) quantum chemical study of the proton transfer potential within the N₂H₅⁺?H⁺?N₂H₅⁺ cluster confirmed its double-minimum character. The first-order saddle point found on the MP2/6-311++G(2d,p) potential energy hypersurface corresponds to a centrosymmetric structure (C_2h symmetry), with the proton placed at the inversion center. The potential energy curve along the tunnelling coordinate was calculated by the intrinsic reaction coordinate (IRC) methodology, leading to an adiabatic PT barrier height of 3.94 kcal mol⁻¹ and a tunneling rate of 1.98 s⁻¹. The corresponding MP4(SDTQ)/6-311++G(2d,p)//MP2/6-311++G(2d,p) value of the adiabatic PT barrier height is 4.26 kcal mol⁻¹.
