One‐Pot Synthesis of 2‐Substituted 4‐Aryl‐4,5‐dihydro‐3,1‐benzoxazepines from 2‐(2‐Aminophenyl)‐1‐arylethanols via Dehydration of the Corresponding Amides

An efficient method for the preparation of 2‐substituted 4‐aryl‐4,5‐dihydro‐3,1‐benzoxazepine derivatives under mild conditions has been developed. The reaction of 2‐(2‐aminophenyl)ethanols 1 with acid chlorides in the presence of excess Et₃N in THF at room temperature gave the corresponding N‐acylated intermediates 2 , which were dehydrated by treatment with POCl₃ to give 2‐substituted 4‐aryl‐4,5‐dihydro‐3,1‐benzoxazepines 3 in a one‐pot reaction.

Luminescence of Strontianite (SrCO3) from Strontian (Scotland, UK)

An historic Strontianite-type specimen from Strontian, Scotland, UK, was characterized to broaden our knowledge on luminescence properties of common carbonates. These fibrous aggregates are Strontianite (Sr_xCa_1−xCO₃) with circa 6% of CaO, interfacial water, hydrosilicate anions and substitutional divalent cations, e.g., Ca²⁺, Mn²⁺, Fe²⁺ in structural Sr²⁺ positions. The specimen was analyzed by X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometry (XRF), Environmental Scanning Electron Microscopy coupled with an Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (ESEM-EDS) probe, Spatially-resolved Cathodoluminescence under the Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM-CL), Differential-Thermal Analyses (DTA), Thermogravimetry (TG), Thermoluminescence (TL), Radioluminescence (RL) and High Resolution Spectra Thermoluminescence (3DTL), to gain an overview of the spectral emissions, the defect linkages were modified by heating from room temperature (RT) up to 500 °C. Substitutional transition elements are probably responsible for the spectral emission bands from 500 nm to 800 nm and hydrous molecules from 300 nm to 400 nm. DTA–TG analyses performed on little chips, to preserve the fiber interfaces coherence, exhibit minor endothermic peaks attributed to outflow of water groups in fiber interfaces. Both, CL and RL curves show common spectral positions but UV–blue and red emission intensities are counterbalanced since electron irradiation reduces the UV–blue emissions while X-irradiation increases them. The TL curves show a top thermal limit at 300 °C for the 300–400 nm TL emissions which become irreversibly destroyed, whereas the longer wavelength region emits at higher temperature. The non-reversible changes observed in the 320 nm and 360 nm bands during the spectra 3DTL emission could be linked with non-bridging oxygen defects, protons and hydroxyl groups and the red emissions to the ⁴G (⁴T_1g)–⁶S Mn²⁺ ion transition. Following assignations and similar spectral CL patterns of Russian Strontianite samples, the emission-defect assignments: Dy³⁺ 480 nm; Tb³⁺ 540 nm; Dy³⁺ 580 nm and Sm³⁺ 640 nm cannot be disregarded.

Composite poly(vinyl alcohol)–poly(sulfone) membranes crosslinked by trimesoyl chloride: Characterization and dehydration of ethylene glycol–water mixtures

Composite membranes prepared from poly(vinyl alcohol) and poly(sulfone) were crosslinked with trimesoyl chloride (TMC) solutions. The degree of crosslinking, crystallinity, surface roughness and hydrophobicity of the crosslinked PVA–PSf membranes were determined from attenuated total reflection-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and contact angle measurements, respectively. Results showed a consistent trend of changes in the physicochemical properties: the degree of crosslinking, crystallinity, surface roughness, hydrophobicity and swelling degree all decrease with increasing crosslinking agent (TMC) concentration and reaction time. The crosslinked membrane performance was assessed with pervaporation dehydration of ethylene glycol solutions at a range of concentrations (30–90 wt% EG) in the feed mixtures. The total flux of permeation was found to decrease, while the selectivity to increase, with increasing TMC concentration and reaction time. The decrease in flux was most prominent at low EG concentrations in the feed mixtures. In addition, the temperature effect on the pervaporation dehydration was investigated in relation to solution–diffusion mechanisms.

Synthesis, crystal structures and investigations on the dehydration reaction of the new coordination polymers poly[diaqua-(μ2-squarato-O,O′)-(μ2-4,4′-bipyridine-N,N′)Me(II)] hydrate (Me=Co, Ni, Fe)

The three new isostructural coordination polymers poly[diaqua-(μ₂-squarato-O,O′)-(μ₂-4,4′-bipyridine-N,N′)Me(II)] hydrate (Me=Fe, Co, Ni) were prepared by hydrothermal reaction. All compounds are isostructural and crystallize in the monoclinic space group P2₁/c with 4 formula units in the unit cell (a=18.893 (1) Å, b=11.450 (1) Å, c=8.0985 (4) Å, β=93.032 (5)°, V=1749.5 (2) ų, [Fe(C₄O₄)(C₁₀H₈)(H₂O)₂]·(H₂O)₃; a=18.937 (1) Å, b=11.342 (1) Å, c=8.0545 (5) Å, β=91.83 (1)°, V=1725.3 (2) ų, [Co(C₄O₄)(C₁₀H₈)(H₂O)₂] · (H₂O)₃; a=18.271 (1) Å, b=11.340 (1) Å, c=7.8946 (4) Å, β=90.69 (5)°, V=1633.1 (2) ų, [Ni(C₄O₄)(C₁₀H₈)(H₂O)₂](H₂O)_1.7). In the crystal structures the metal atoms are coordinated by two squarate dianions, two 4,4′-bipyridine ligands and two water molecules. The metal atoms are connected via the squarate dianions and the 4,4′-bipyridine ligands into layers, which interpenetrate forming a three-dimensional coordination network. This arrangement yields channels in which additional water molecules are embedded. Thermoanalytic investigations show that upon heating the channel water is removed in the first step and that the water coordinated to the metal atoms is emitted in the second step. Both steps are fully reversible with the former reaction proceeding via a topotactic reaction. The hydration and dehydration of the compounds are accompanied with a continuous change of the color of the materials. The de- and reintercalation processes were investigated using single crystal structure analysis, X-ray powder diffraction, temperature-dependent X-ray powder diffraction, simultaneous differential thermoanalysis and thermogravimetry coupled to mass spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry and time-dependent UV-Vis spectroscopy. The results of the investigations are discussed and compared with those for the previously reported manganese compound.
