A computational mechanistic study of the deamination reaction of melamine

A detailed computational study of the deamination reaction of melamine by OH^–, n H₂O/OH^–, n H₂O (where n = 1, 2, 3), and protonated melamine with H₂O, has been carried out using density functional theory and ab initio calculations. All structures were optimized at M06/6‐31G(d) level of theory, as well as with the B3LYP functional with each of the basis sets: 6‐31G(d), 6‐31 + G(d), 6‐31G(2df,p), and 6‐311++G(3df,3pd). B3LYP, M06, and ω B97XD calculations with 6‐31 + G(d,p) have also been performed. All structures were optimized at B3LYP/6‐31 + G(d,p) level of theory for deamination simulations in an aqueous medium, using both the polarizable continuum solvation model and the solvation model based on solute electron density. Composite method calculations have been conducted at G4MP2 and CBS‐QB3. Fifteen different mechanistic pathways were explored. Most pathways consisted of two key steps: formation of a tetrahedral intermediate and in the final step, an intermediate that dissociates to products via a 1,3‐proton shift. The lowest overall activation energy, 111 kJ mol^?1 at G4MP2, was obtained for the deamination of melamine with 3H₂O/OH^?.     

Anodic Stripping Voltammetry of Silver Nanoparticles: Aggregation Leads to Incomplete Stripping

The influence of nanoparticle aggregation on anodic stripping voltammetry is reported. Dopamine-capped silver nanoparticles were chosen as a model system, and melamine was used to induce aggregation in the nanoparticles. Through the anodic stripping of the silver nanoparticles that were aggregated to different extents, it was found that the peak area of the oxidative signal corresponding to the stripping of silver to silver(I) ions decreases with increasing aggregation. Aggregation causes incomplete stripping of the silver nanoparticles. Two possible mechanisms of ‘partial oxidation’ and ‘inactivation’ of the nanoparticles are proposed to account for this finding. Aggregation effects must be considered when anodic stripping voltammetry is used for nanoparticle detection and quantification. Hence, drop casting, which is known to lead to aggregation, is not encouraged for preparing electrodes for analytical purposes.     

Synchrotron X-ray Electron Density Analysis of Chemical Bonding in the Graphitic Carbon Nitride Precursor Melamine

Melamine is a precursor and building block for graphitic carbon nitride (g-CN) materials, a group of layered materials showing great promise for catalytic applications. The synthetic pathway to g-CN includes a polycondensation reaction of melamine by evaporation of ammonia. Melamine molecules in the crystal organize into wave-like planes with an interlayer distance of 3.3 Å similar to that of g-CN. Here we present an extensive investigation of the experimental electron density of melamine obtained from modelling of synchrotron radiation X-ray single-crystal diffraction data measured at 25 K with special focus on the molecular geometry and intermolecular interactions. Both intra- and interlayer structures are dominated by hydrogen bonding and π-interactions. Theoretical gas-phase optimizations of the experimental molecular geometry show that bond lengths and angles for atoms in the same chemical environment (C−N bonds in the ring, amine groups) differ significantly more for the experimental geometry than for the gas-phase-optimized geometries, indicating that intermolecular interactions in the crystal affects the molecular geometry. In the experimental crystal geometry, one amine group has significantly more sp³-like character than the others, hinting at a possible formation mechanism of g-CN. Topological analysis and energy frameworks show that the nitrogen atom in this amine group participates in weak intralayer hydrogen bonding. We hypothesize that melamine condenses to g-CN within the layers and that the unique amine group plays a key role in the condensation process.

Supramolecular systems based on the melamine salt of bis(hydroxymethyl)phosphinic acid (melafen) dihydrate and surfactants

Bis(hydroxymethyl)phosphinic acid and melamine were shown by FTIR and UV spectroscopy to form the salt (melafen), whose cations and anions involving water molecules can be joined into supramolecular structures due to electrostatic interactions and hydrogen bonds. The conductometry, dielcometric titration, and dynamic light scattering methods showed that melafen in water and chloroform in a concentration range of 10⁻¹⁰–10⁻⁴ mol L⁻¹ involving the solvent structures exist as supramolecular polymeric nanostructures, whose size and properties change nonlinearly depending on the melafen concentration.

Structure–property relationships of anionic poly(urethane–urea) dispersion cross-linked with partially methylated melamine formaldehyde

An anionic poly(urethane–urea) dispersion (PUD) was cross-linked with different amount of partially methylated melamine formaldehyde (PMMF). The isothermal curing behavior was observed by a rigid-body pendulum rheometer. The test results showed that cure response of PUD cross-linked with PMMF was a function of the concentration of PMMF. Also, PMMF self-condensation could take place during the curing process. In this experiment, the anionic poly(urethane–urea) dispersion has a large number of >N–H cross-linking or branching sites in urethane and urea groups per molecule that allow a large number of PMMF to couple into elastic PUD backbone to form branched structure with partial cross-linking. The dynamic mechanical properties of PUD cross-linked with PMMF were affected by the concentration of PMMF. It was further shown that the tensile properties were strongly influenced by the concentration of PMMF and curing temperature.
