Highly Proton-Conductive Zinc Metal-Organic Framework Based On Nickel(II) Porphyrinylphosphonate

The design of new solid-state proton-conducting materials is a great challenge for chemistry and materials science. Herein, a new anionic porphyrinylphosphonate-based MOF ( IPCE-1Ni ), which involves dimethylammonium (DMA) cations for charge compensation, is reported. As a result of its unique structure, IPCE-1Ni exhibits one of the highest value of the proton conductivity among reported proton-conducting MOF materials based on porphyrins (1.55×10⁻³ S cm⁻¹ at 75 °C and 80 % relative humidity).     

Hydrophobicity and thermal stability of fluorinated pentaerythritol esters

Wetting angles and limits of thermal stability of esters derived from pentaerythritol and perfluoro-, ω-chloropolyfluoro-, and perfluoropolyethercarboxylic acids were studied.     

Modification of Synthetic Latexes with Colloidal Silver

Butadiene-styrene and acrylate latexes were studied as matrices for preparing colloidal silver. Colloidal-chemical and strength properties of the modified latexes and Primal E1950 latex films were studied. The heat resistance of these materials was determined.     

Exchange reactions in olefin oxide-phenyl β-hydroxyalkyl selenide system

Conclusions Exchange reactions proceed in the olefin oxide-phenyl-hydroxyalkyl selenide system with the probable intermediate involvement of the selenonium salt.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 12, pp. 2833–2835, December, 1982.     

New dynamic axial compression columns with means for monitoring floating adapter position. Column design and utilisation in low pressure LC on soft packings

Summary The design of new dynamic, axial-compression columns with a system for continous packed bed adjustment and monitoring of the floating adapter position is described. The columns are meant for liquid chromatography at low pressures (up to 8 bar) in aqueous and organic media with stationary phases of all types. The columns have adapter position pickups for continuous automatic monitoring of the bed height (original “swellographic” monitoring). The column described with gas pressurisation was tested with soft Sephadex G-10 and G-25. In spite of the reduction in external porosity there was no dramatic increase in back-pressure. The column proved to provide long-term stability of the packed bed and improvement in resolution. Presented at the 21^st ISC held in Stuttgart, Germany, 15^th–20^th September, 1996     

Steric control over hydrogen bonding in crystalline organic solids: a structural study of N,N'-dialkylthioureas

Hydrogen bonding in crystalline N,N'-dialkylthioureas was examined with the help of single-crystal X-ray diffraction, DFT calculations, and Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) analysis. A CSD survey indicated that unlike the related urea derivatives, which persistently self-assemble into one-dimensional hydrogen-bonded chains, the analogous thioureas can form two different hydrogen-bonding motifs in the solid state: chains, structurally similar with those found in ureas, and dimers, that further associate into hydrogen-bonded layers. The formation of one motif or another can be manipulated by the bulkiness of the organic substituents on the thiourea group, which provides a clear example of steric control over the hydrogen bonding arrangement in crystalline organic solids.     

Crystal Structure of Ammonium Undecafluorotriantimonate(III) (NH4)2Sb3F11

The crystal structure of a novel antimony(III) fluoride complex, ammonium undecafluorotriantimonate(III) (NH₄)₂Sb₃F₁₁, was determined. The crystals are triclinic: a = 7.780(2) Å, b = 8.370(2) Å, c = 10.620(1) Å, = 71.06(1)°, = 89.03(1)°, = 63.58(1)°, V = 579.1(2) ų, Z = 2, (calcd) = 3.500 g/cm³, (exp) = 3.51 g/cm³, F(000) = 548.0, space group P . The structure consists of anionic [Sb₃F₁₁]^2– chains and ammonium cations combined into a framework by the N–H···F hydrogen bonds.
