Theoretical and experimental study of the adsorption of neutral glycine on silica from the gas phase.

The adsorption of neutral glycine onto amorphous silica was investigated both theoretically and experimentally. DFT calculations were performed at the BLYP-631++G** level using a cluster approach. Several possible configurations involving the formation of H bonds between glycine and one, two, or three silanol groups (SiOH) were considered. The most favorable bonding of glycine with one silanol group (45 kJ mol(-1)) occurs through the COOH moiety, thus forming a cycle in which the CO group is an H-bond acceptor whereas the acidic OH group is an H-bond donor. With two or three silanol groups, additional H bonds are formed between the amine moiety and the silanol groups, which leads to an increased adsorption energy (70 and 80 kJ mol(-1) for two and three silanol groups, respectively). Calculated nu(CO), delta(HNH), and delta(HCH) values are sensitive to the adsorption mode. A bathochromic shift of nu(CO) as compared to the nu(CO) of free glycine (calculated in the 1755-1790 cm(-1) range) is found for glycine in interaction with silanol(s). The more H bonds are formed between the COOH moiety and silanol groups, the higher the bathochromic shift. For delta(HNH), no shift is found for glycine adsorbed on one and two silanol groups (where the amine is either not bound or an H-bond donor), whereas a bathochromic shift is calculated with three silanols when the amine moiety is an H-bond acceptor. Experimental FTIR spectra performed at room temperature for glycine adsorbed at 160 degrees C on Aerosil amorphous silica exhibit bands at 1371, 1423, 1630, and 1699 cm(-1). The experimental/calculated frequencies have their best correspondence for glycine adsorbed on two silanol groups. It is important to note that the forms giving the best correspondence to experimental frequencies are the most stable ones.     

Fourier transform IR spectrum and photoreactivity of the C3O2:HCl complex isolated in solid argon

IR spectroscopy was coupled with the matrix isolation technique to study the molecular complex formed between C₃O₂ and HCl and its photodissociation. The vibrational frequencies of the complex were compared with those of HCl and C₃O₂ monomers. For C₃O₂, a bent structure was characterized in the solid environment.

The vibrational frequencies were calculated in the 4000–400 cm⁻¹ range using an ab initio method at the MP2/6-31G** level for the most stable complex; these frequencies describe the hydrogen interaction with the central carbon atom of C₃O₂ (T complex). The measured shifts between the vibrational mode frequencies of the complex and monomers were in good agreement with the calculated values.

Broad-band UV irradiation ( > 230 nm) of the T complex leads preferentially to ketene chloride and carbon monoxide. Ketene chloride formation can be explained by the reaction between HCl and the carbene C₂O, which results from photo-dissociation at the C=CO bond of C₃O₂.     

Preparation and characterization of theβ-cyclodextrin inclusion complex with sulfafurazole

The 1 : 1 inclusion complex involving sulfafurazole (SF) and-cyclodextrin (-CD) is prepared by the freeze-drying method and characterized on the basis of its chemical analysis, thermal behavior, infrared spectrum, X-ray powder pattern and¹³C NMR spectrum in DMSO-d₆ solution. The stability constant of the inclusion complex was determined by the solubility method. The effect of cyclodextrin on the UV absorption spectrum of sulfafurazole was also observed.     

Quantum-chemical study of C<Subscript>n</Subscript>F2<Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>+2</Subscript> conformers. Structure and IR spectra

Quantum-chemical calculations of the geometrical structure and vibrational spectra of C_nF_2n+2 oligomers (n = 5–8) in the chain and branched conformations are reported. The lengthening of the chain of C_nF_2n+2 does not substantially affect the geometrical parameters of the oligomers. In all cases under study, the most optimal structure of the molecule is a zigzag chain with bond lengths R(C-C) = 1.53 –1.54 and R(C-F) = 1.36 –1.34 ; the chain is rolled into a helix, which makes an angle of 17° with the plane. The IR spectra are sensitive to the structural deficiency of oligomers C_nF_2n+2 associated with the lateral trifluoromethyl groups formed in the chain; the spectra can be used for revealing defects of this type in the structure of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). The possibility of defects associated with the lateral CF₃ groups in the structure of PTFE and its low-temperature modifications is explained based on the calculated total energies of C_nF2 _n+2.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2004 by L.

The influence of hydroxyapatite modification on the cross-linking of polydimethylsiloxane/HAp composites

Hydroxyapatite (HAp) was modified by the action of various hydrophobic agents based on silicon-containing compounds. The influence of the type of applied agent on the thermodynamic and kinetic parameters of the cross-linking of poly(dimethyl siloxane)/HAp composites was investigated. All the modified HAp particles became hydrophobic and these samples were used to synthesize the polysiloxane/hydroxyapatite composites (PDMS/HAp). The possible modes of interaction between the hydroxyapatite and hydrophobing agents were discussed. The most probable interaction between hydroxyapatite and the applied hydrophobing agents is hydrogen bonding. PDMS/HAp composites were formed directly in the cell of the DSC and cross-linking was investigated in situ. It was determined that the introduction of hydroxyapatite into polysiloxane matrices changed the enthalpy of cross-linking, as well as the activation energy of cross-linking and reaction order, while the introduction of modified HAp led to thermodynamic and kinetic parameters more similar to those of the cross-linking of unfilled elastomer.     

Electron radiation effects on the structure of ultradisperse polytetrafluoroethylene

Electron radiation effects (40 mrad, 70 mrad, and 100 mrad) on the molecular and supramolecular structure and morphology of ultradisperse polytetrafluoroethylene obtained by the thermogas dynamic (TGD) method were studied by IR and EPR spectroscopy, X-ray phase analysis, and atomic force microscopy. Irradiation of ultradisperse powder in air leads to oxidized polymer forms due to the terminal carbonyl groups and stable peroxide radicals that appear in the structure. Fast electron radiation in doses of up to 100 mrad did not change the polymer crystallinity and particle entity, while thin films on the surface of ultradisperse polytetrafluoroethylene powder decomposed.
