Electroinitiated Polymerization of N-Vinylcarbazole by Direct Electron Transfer

Electroinitiated polymerization of N-vinylcarbazole has been accomplished by constant potential electrolysis. It was found that direct electron transfer from the monomer to the anode initiates the polymerization even at a potential as low as +0.95 V versus Ag^?/ Ag⁺. Dichloromethane was used as the solvent, and the electrolyte was tetrabutylammonium fluoroborate. Conversions as high as 86% were reached even when a microelectrode was used. Effects of electrode area, temperature, and electrode potential on polymerization were studied. Percent conversion was followed by cyclic voltammetry.

Structural characterization of disperse black 9 based Cu (II) complex and investigation of its some properties

We obtained the azo‐imine ligand (2,2′‐[4‐(5‐methoxy salicylidene‐4‐iminophenylazo)phenylimino]diethanol) (HL) and its Cu (II) complex (CuL) from the ethanol solution. The complex Cu(L)₂ was obtained as single crystals from the CH₃OH solution and structurally characterized. The electronic and photoluminescence properties of the ligand and its Cu (II) complex were investigated both in DMF solution and solid state. The oxidation and reduction behaviours of the compounds were studied in the solution and found that the redox processes are irreversible. Thermal studies show that the ligand has higher thermal stability than the CuL complex. Single crystals of the complex were obtained from slow evaporation of a DMF solution of the complex. Crystals of the complex showed a diffraction pattern; however, the structure of the complex was able to be solved.

A novel amperometric hydrogen peroxide biosensor based on pyrrole-PAMAM dendrimer modified gold electrode

Horseradish peroxidase (HRP) was immobilized into an electrochemically prepared copolymer of pyrrole–PAMAM (PAMAM; polyamidoamine) dendrimers for the construction of amperometric hydrogen peroxide biosensor. First, second, and third generation amidoamine–pyrrole dendrons having branched amine periphery and focal pyrrole functionality were synthesized via divergent pathway. Pyrrole dendrimers were covalently attached onto the electrode surface and polymerized by electrochemical copolymerization with pyrrole monomer. The synthesized dendrimers and copolymers have been characterized by FTIR-ATR and NMR. These copolymers have been utilized as conducting films for amperometric hydrogen peroxide sensing. The HRP retains its bioactivity after immobilization into the dendronized pyrrole-copolymers. Amperometric response was measured as a function of concentration of hydrogen peroxide, at fixed potential of +0.35 V vs. Ag/AgCl in a phosphate buffered saline (pH 7.5). The effect of pH and temperature of the medium, storage, and reusability properties were investigated. The results indicate an efficient immobilization of enzyme onto the PAMAM type dendrimer modified surface containing pyrrole monomer, which leads to high enzyme loading, and increased lifetime stability of the electrode.     

Radiation induced copolymerization reactivity of different allyl monomers with styrene

Radiation induced copolymerizations of electron donating such as allyl phenol (AP) and electron withdrawing such as allyl isothiocyanate (AITC) monomers with styrene (Sty) as a comonomer were studied in order to correlate the electronic behavior with copolymerization yield and molecular weight. The allyl monomers and comonomer were mixed in the same mol ratios under Ar atmosphere and copolymerized by using gamma radiation in various absorbed doses (55, 110, 165 kGy) obtained from a Co-60 source. Poly(AP-co-Sty), and poly(AITC-co-Sty) could have been prepared at all of the absorbed doses. The maximum copolymerization yields were calculated as a 16.35 and 6.52 percent for poly(AP-co-Sty) and poly(AITC-co-Sty), respectively. The molecular weights of poly(AP-co-Sty) copolymers are found to be higher in comparison to those of poly(AITC-co-Sty). Both results indicate that, under the same irradiation conditions, AP is more reactive on styrene than AITC is. Thus, the monomers having electron withdrawing (EW) substituents attached to allyl group may result in better copolymerization yield and molecular weight than those with electron donating (ED) substituents. Thermal stabilities of the poly(AP-co-Sty) copolymers are also higher than those of poly(AITC-co-Sty).
