Microporous Hypercross-linked Conjugated Quinonoid Chromophores of Anthracene: Novel Polymers for CO2 Adsorption

Microporous hypercross-linked conjugated quinonoid chromophores represent a novel class of amorphous polymers, synthesized by the reaction of anthracene with dimethoxy methane in the presence of FeCl3 catalyst. Their N2 adsorption isotherms confirm their microporous nature. Diffuse reflectance UV-Visible(DRS UV-Vis) spectroscopy confirms their matrix built with the conjugated quinonoids by their broad light absorption characteristics extending from 1000 nm to 200 nm with the absorbance maximum close to 400 nm. The catalyst cross-linked anthracene with ―CH2― bridges and subsequently dehydrogenating them to form quinonoids. Their Fourier transform infrared(FTIR) spectra showed their characteristic quinonoid vibrations between 1600 and 1700 cm-1. The synthesis of polymers was carried out at 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 and 80 ℃, but the quinonoid content of the polymer obtained at 80 ℃ was higher than that of the others. Their scanning electron microscopy(SEM) images showed microspheres of 1 to 5 μm size built with tiny particles. Their surfaces were not smooth. The polymer synthesized at 80 ℃ showed 5.1 wt% CO2 sorption at 25 ℃ and 0.1 MPa, but when it was recross-linked, the CO2 sorption increased to 8 wt%. Hence, hypercross-linked conjugated quinonoid chromophores of anthracene are good for sorption of CO2.     

Cyclohexanones--Source for Selena/Thiadiazoles and Diazaphospholes

Synthesis,characterization and antioxidant activity of bis (arylsulfonylmethyl/arylaminosulfonylmethylazolyl) pyridines

A new class of bis(arylsulfonylmethylazolyl)pyridines and bis(arylaminosulfonylmethyl-azolyl)pyridines were synthesized from the synthetic intermediates methyl arylsulfonylacetic acid hydrazide and methyl arylaminosulfonylacetic acid hydrazide adopting a green methodology-ultrasonication. All the synthesized compounds were resulted in higher yield and in shorter reaction times. The spectral parameters such as IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, mass and microanalyzes were used to determine the structures of all the synthesized compounds and were assayed for antioxidant activity. The bis(arylaminosulfonylmethylazolyl)pyridines showed higher radical scavenging activity than the bis(arylsulfonylmethylazolyl)pyridines. Besides, unsubstituted, and methyl substituted compounds exhibited greater activity. Among all the tested compounds 8b and 11b were identified as potential antioxidants.

Unsteady stokes equations: Some complete general solutions

The completeness of solutions of homogeneous as well as non-homogeneous unsteady Stokes equations are examined. A necessary and sufficient condition for a divergence-free vector to represent the velocity field of a possible unsteady Stokes flow in the absence of body forces is derived.     

9,9‐Dimethoxy‐7,11‐diphenyl‐2,4‐diazaspiro[5.5]undecane‐1,3,5‐trione monohydrate

Due to steric repulsions, the cyclo­hexane ring in the title compound, C₂₃H₂₄N₂O₅·H₂O, shows some bond‐length abnormalities and adopts a chair conformation. The pyrimidine and cyclo­hexane rings are approximately perpendicular to each other, and the phenyl rings are equatorial. C—H?π and N—H?O intermolecular interactions, as well as C—H?O inter‐ and intramolecular interactions, occur between the mol­ecules. In addition to van der Waals interactions, the water mol­ecule interacts with the pyrimidine­trione ring to stabilize the structure.
