Interaction of Fluorocarbon Containing Hydrophobically Mdified Polyelectrolyte with Nonionic Surfactants

The interaction of fluorocarbon containing hydrophobically modified polyelectrolyte(FMPAANa) with two kinds of nonionic surfactants(hydrogenated and fluorinated)in a semidilute (0.5wt%) aqueous solution had been studied by rheological measurements,Association behavior was found in both systems.The hydrophobic interaction of FMPAANa with fluorinated surfactant(FC171) is much stronger than that with hydrogenated surfactant(NP7.5) at low surfactoant concentrations.The interaction is strengthened by surfactants being added for the density of active junctions increased.Whereas distinct phenomena for FC171 and NP7.5 start to be found as the surfactants added over their respective certain concentration.The interaction of polyelectrolyte with fluorinated surfactant increases dramatical ly while that with hydrogenated surfactant decreases.     

Self-assembly of a series of extended architectures based on polyoxometalate clusters and silver coordination complexes

Three unusual compounds based on polyoxometalate building blocks, [(H2O)5Na2(C6NO2H4)(C6NO2H5)3Ag2][Ag2IMo6O24(H2O)4] x 6.25H2O (1), [(H2O)4Na2(C6NO2H5)6Ag3][IMo6O24] x 6H2O (2), and (C6NO2H6)2[(C6NO2H5)2Ag][Cr(OH)6Mo6O18] x 4H2O (3), have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis; IR, XPS, and ESR spectroscopy; TG analysis; and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Compound 1 is constructed from the cationic two-dimensional (2D) coordination polymer sheets which are constituted of [(H2O)5Na2(C6NO2H4)(C6NO2H5)3Ag2]3+ and anionic [Ag2IMo6O24(H2O)4]3- chains as pillars, forming a three-dimensional (3D) supramolecular framework via weak Ag-O interactions. Compound 2 is composed of the well-defined [IMo6O24]5- building blocks, which are linked through trinuclear Ag-pyridine-3-carboxylic acid, [(C6NO2H5)6Ag3]3+, fragments into a one-dimensional (1D) hybrid chain; adjacent chains are further connected by sodium cations to yield a novel 2D network. Compound 3 has a 1D chainlike structure constructed from [Cr(OH)6Mo6O18]3- building blocks and Ag-pyridine-4-carboxylic acid coordination units. The crystal data for these compounds are the following: 1, triclinic, P1, a = 13.280(3) A, b = 13.641(3) A, c = 16.356(3) A, alpha = 89.68(3) degrees, beta = 88.31(3) degrees, gamma = 75.87(3) degrees, Z = 2; 2, triclinic, P1, a = 11.978(2) A, b = 12.008(2) A, c = 13.607(3) A, alpha = 116.14(3) degrees, beta = 108.85(3) degrees, gamma = 93.86(3) degrees, Z = 1; 3, triclinic, P1, a = 10.458(2) A, b = 10.644(2) A, c = 12.295(3) A, alpha = 97.40(3) degrees, beta = 112.38(3) degrees, gamma = 113.59(3) degrees, Z = 1.     

The catalytic Mannich reaction of 1,1-difluoro-2-trialkyl(aryl)silyl-2-trimethyl-silyloxyethenes: preparation of beta-amino acid derivatives

[reaction: see text] Catalytic Mannich reactions of 1,1-difluoro-2-trialkyl(aryl)silyl-2-trimethylsilyloxyethenes (3) with a variety of sulfonylimines were utilized for the preparation of alpha,alpha-difluoro-beta-amino acid derivatives (7). The influence of the Lewis acid on the reaction was examined. Methods for the conversion of alpha,alpha-difluoroacylsilanes to alpha,alpha-difluorocarboxylic acids were also explored.     

Single-walled carbon nanotube-based coaxial nanowires: synthesis, characterization, and electrical properties

We report herein the template-directed synthesis, characterization, and electric properties of single-walled carbon nanotube- (SWNT-) based coaxial nanowires, that is, core (SWNT)-shell (conducting polypyrrole and polyaniline) nanowires. The SWNTs were first dispersed in aqueous solutions containing cationic surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) or nonionic surfactant poly(ethylene glycol) mono-p-nonyl phenyl ether (O pi-10). Each individual nanotube (or small bundle) was then encased in its own micellelike envelope with hydrophobic surfactant groups orientated toward the nanotube and hydrophilic groups orientated toward the solution. And thus a hydrophobic region within the micelle/SWNT (called a micelle/SWNT hybrid template) was formed. Insertion and growth of pyrrole or aniline monomers in this hybrid template, upon removal of the surfactant, produce coaxial structures with a SWNT center and conducting polypyrrole or polyaniline coating. Raman and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and scanning (SEM) and transmission (TEM) electron microscopy were used to characterize the composition and the structures of these coaxial nanowires. The results revealed that the micellar molecules used could affect the surface morphologies of the resulting coaxial nanowires but not the molecular structures of the corresponding conducting polymers. Electric properties testing indicated that the SWNTs played the key roles in the conducting polymer/SWNT composites during electron transfer in the temperature range 77 K to room temperature. Compared with the SWNT network embedded in the conducting polymers, the composites within which SWNTs were coated perfectly by the identical conducting polymers exhibited higher barrier heights during electron transfer.

Ultraviolet photochemistry of ethane: implications for the atmospheric chemistry of the gas giants

Chemical processing in the stratospheres of the gas giants is driven by incident vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) light. Ethane is an important constituent in the atmospheres of the gas giants in our solar system. The present work describes translational spectroscopy studies of the VUV photochemistry of ethane using tuneable radiation in the wavelength range 112 ≤ λ ≤ 126 nm from a free electron laser and event-triggered, fast-framing, multi-mass imaging detection methods. Contributions from at least five primary photofragmentation pathways yielding CH₂, CH₃ and/or H atom products are demonstrated and interpreted in terms of unimolecular decay following rapid non-adiabatic coupling to the ground state potential energy surface. These data serve to highlight parallels with methane photochemistry and limitations in contemporary models of the photoinduced stratospheric chemistry of the gas giants. The work identifies additional photochemical reactions that require incorporation into next generation extraterrestrial atmospheric chemistry models which should help rationalise hitherto unexplained aspects of the atmospheric ethane/acetylene ratios revealed by the Cassini–Huygens fly-by of Jupiter.

The vacuum ultraviolet photodissociation dynamics of ethane provide clues for modelling the atmospheric chemistry of the gas giants.     

Molecular Rectangle Formed by Head-to-tail Self-Assembly of 1-(Dipyrrin-2-yl)-1-(dipyrrin-3-yl)methane

1-(Dipyrrin-2-yl)-1-(dipyrrin-3-yl)methane, the N-confused analog of biladiene-ac, is prepared by condensation of 2,3-dipyrromethane with two molecules of 2-formylpyrrole in dichloromethane in the presence of hydrogen bromide. Self-assembly of the ligand with Zn(II) in dichloromethane and methanol offers a dinuclear dimeric complex with a ligand:metal ratio of 2:2. X-Ray crystal structure analysis reveals two ligands bound through a head-to-tail pattern to two zinc centers to form a severely distorted helical conformation, which has the shape of a rectangle.
