Intermolecular interactions and the structure of near-surface layers in heterogeneous two-component systems based on nanocystallites of titanium dioxide

This contribution provides the theoretical background for the structure-determining role of hydrogen bonding in the formation of a near-surface layer of titania nanocrystallites, previously revealed by the authors in the investigation of IR experimental spectra of two-component solid mixtures of nanocrystalline titanium dioxide with benzophenone or 4-pentyl-4′-cyanobiphenyl. DFT calculations (B3LYP) in 6-31+G(d) basis set is used to simulate the structure and IR spectra of free molecules of water, 4-pentyl-4′-cyanobiphenyl, benzophenone and their H-complexes formed in the near-surface layers of titania nanocrystallites due to presence of water adsorbed on their surfaces. Using the results of simulation and analysis of IR spectrum bands corresponding to stretching vibrations of polar bonds O-H, C=O, C≡N, the formation mechanism of near-surface layers of titania nanocrystallites in the considered heterogeneous two-component systems is theoretically substantiated: they are formed by hydrogen-bonded complexes involving components of the mixture and water.

Benzophenone and zinc(II) phthalocyanine dichromophores-labeled poly (aryl ether) dendrimer: synthesis,characterization and photoinduced energy transfer

A series of benzophenone chromospheres and zinc(II) phthalocyanine dichromophores labeled poly (aryl benzyl ether) dendrimer (G_n-DZnPc(BP)_8n, n = 1?2) were synthesized. Their structures were characterized by elemental analysis, ¹H NMR, IR, UV–vis and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS). Their photophysical properties were examined by steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence methods. Both the poly (aryl benzyl ether) dendrimer and BP terminal chromophores had a significant effect on photophysical properties of the zinc(II) phthalocyanine core. Time-resolved spectroscopic measurements indicated that the lifetime of benzophenone (donor) chromophore was longer than that of the zinc(II) phthalocyanine (acceptor). The fluorescence of the peripheral benzophenone chromophores was quenched by the phthalocyanine group attached to the focal point. All of these observations suggest that an intramolecular singlet energy transfer occurs in G_n-DZnPc(BP)_8n molecules. The light-harvesting abilities of these molecules increased with generations due to an increase in the number of benzophenone chromophores. The energy transfer efficiencies were ca. 0.49 and 0.68 for generations 1 and 2, respectively, and the rate constants of the singlet-singlet energy transfer were ca. 10⁸ s^?1. The rate constants changed inconspicuously with increase of dendron generations. The intramolecular singlet-singlet energy transfer is proposed to proceed mainly via a Förster-type interaction mechanism involving the dendrimer backbone as a scaffold to hold the peripheral benzophenone chromophores and the phthalocyanine core together. This dendrimer was an effective new energy transmission complex with high efficiency and could be used as a potential light-harvesting system.     

Polyesters containing sulfur. VIII. New benzophenone‐derivative thiopolyesterdiols synthesis and characterization. Their use for thermoplastic polyurethanes preparation

The new linear thiopolyesterdiols (PEs) containing sulfur in the main chain were synthesized by melt polycondensation of newly obtained benzophenone‐4,4′‐bis(methylthioacetic acid) with excess of 1,4‐butanediol, 1,5‐pentanediol, and 1,6‐hexanediol. All these PEs (M _n of 2000–2600) were converted to thiopoly(ester‐urethane)s (PEUs) by polyaddition reaction with hexamethylene diisocyanate or 4,4′‐diphenylmethane diisocyanate, which was carried out in melt at the ratio of NCO/OH = 1. The resulting thermoplastic PEUs were amorphous and elastomeric, with elongation at break ranging from 630 to 1200%. The polymers were characterized by Fourier transform infrared, ¹H NMR, thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, and in the case of PEUs, Shore A/D hardness and tensile properties. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

A new mechanism of benzophenone photoreduction in photoinitiated crosslinking of polyethylene and its model compounds

The photolytic products and a new photoreduction mechanism of benzophenone (BP) as a photoinitiator in the photocrosslinking of polyethylene (PE) and its model compounds (MD) have been studied by means of fluorescence, ESR, ¹³C and ¹H NMR spectroscopy. The fluorescence spectra from the PE and MD systems demonstrate that the main photoreduction product of BP (PPB) is benzpinacol formed by the recombination of two diphenylhydroxymethyl (K^•) radical intermediates. The ESR spectrum obtained from the UV irradiation of the MD/BP system gives positive evidence of K^• radicals. Two new PPB products: an isomer of benzpinacol with quinoid structure, 1‐phenyl‐hydroxymethylene‐4‐diphenyl‐hydroxymethyl‐2,5‐cyclohexa‐diene and three kinds of α‐alkylbenzhydrols have been detected and identified for the first time by ¹³C and ¹H NMR spectroscopy from the MD systems. The latter could be formed by the reactions of K^• radicals with alkyl radicals produced by hydrogen abstraction of the excited triplet state ³(BP)* from polyethylene or its model compounds. These results provide new experimental evidence for elucidating the photoreduction mechanism of BP in the photoinitiated crosslinking of polyethylene. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
