The direct polycondensation of newly synthesized DIDA with different diamines was carried out via Yamazaki’s phosphorylation method using triphenyl phosphite and pyridine system. The resulting poly(amide-imide)s were obtained in quantitative yields with inherent viscosities 0.36-0.47 dl/g in DMAc at 30 ± 0.1 °C.

Flame retardant properties were ascertained by Limiting Oxygen Index. The photocrosslinking ability of the polymers was studied by ultraviolet spectroscopy. The crosslinking proceeds via 2π + 2π cycloaddition reaction of the benzylidene groups. The rate of crosslinking decreases with increase in the size of cycloalkanone ring, while the thermal stability increases with increase in the size of the alkanone ring. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Novel soluble thermally stable silane-containing aromatic polyimides with reduced dielectric constant

Bis(p-aminophenoxy)diphenylsilane (BPS), bis(m-aminophenoxy)diphenylsilane (BMS) and bis(5-amino-1-naphthoxy)diphenylsilane (BAS) as three silane-diamines were prepared by the reactions of 4-aminophenol, 3-aminophenol, and 5-amino-1-naphthol respectively, with dichlorodiphenylsilane in the presence of triethylamine. The related silane-containing polyimides were prepared by two-step polycondensation reactions of these diamines with three different aromatic dianhydrides. All the polymers were characterized and their physical and thermal properties were studied. The polymers showed high thermal stability while their solubility was greatly increased in polar aprotic solvents. Wide angle X-ray diffraction showed that all the polyimides were almost amorphous. Also their dielectric constants were decreased due to the incorporation of softening and low-polarizing siloxane units into the polymer backbone.     

Liquid-liquid extraction of vanadium(V) from sulfate media with diisododecylamine

The liquid-liquid extraction of vanadium(V) from sulfate media with diisododecylamine (DIDA), a new reagent providing an alternative to the well-known trioctylamine-based extractant, has been investigated at 22°C with toluene and kerosene as diluents. DIDA efficiently recovers vanadium(V) from weakly acidic solutions (pH 5–6), yielding a DIDA: V = 1: 2.5 (mol/mol) complex in the organic phase. Vanadium is completely reextractable from the organic phase with an NH₄OH solution (1: 1). IR spectroscopic studies and Karl Fisher determination of the water content of the extracts have demonstrated that vanadium extraction is due an interfacial anion-exchange reaction (log K _ex = 1.6–1.7) yielding amine association species containing inverse micelles.     

Complexation of 4-amino-1,3 dimethyl-2,6 pyrimidine-dione derivatives with cobalt(II) and nickel(II) ions: synthesis,spectral, thermal and antimicrobial studies

IR data reveal that the ligands are bidentate neutral ligands except HL¹, which is monobasic tridentate with coordination sites azomethine (N), carbonyl (O) and phenolic (O). Conductance data suggest that all complexes are non-electrolytes, except cobalt(II) complexes of L²and HL³are 1 : 1 electrolytes. The mass spectra confirm the proposed structure of the ligands and their complexes. The solid reflectance spectral data and magnetic moment measurements suggest octahedral, tetrahedral and square planar geometrical structures for the metal complexes. The spectral data were utilized to compute the important ligand field parameters B, β and Dq; LFSE also was calculated. The thermal behavior is also studied. Antibacterial and antifungal properties of the ligands and their complexes show broad-spectrum activities and the metal complexes show higher activity than the free ligands.

Transition Metal–organic Coordination Polymers Containing 6-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)-2(1H)-Pyridinone: Synthesis,Structure and Fluorescent Sensing for Enoxacin

Three metal–organic coordination polymers, [M(2,6-bip)₂] (M = Zn ( 1 ), Ni ( 2 )) and [Cu (tfbdc)(2,6-bipH)₂]•2H₂O ( 3 ), were obtained with the similar solvothermal reaction systems of bivalent transition metal salt, 6-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)-2(1H)-pyridinone (2,6-bipH) and 2,3,5,6-tetrafluoroterephthalic acid (H₂tfbdc). The three coordination polymers show different framework features, namely 3D ( 1 ), 2D ( 2 ) and 1D ( 3 ) structures, which are resulted from different single-metal ion “node” and “linker” coordination modes. The [ZnO₂N₂] tetrahedron in 1 and [NiO₂N₄] octahedron in 2 as a node, is formed from Zn sp³ and Ni d²sp³ hybrid orbits, respectively, while the linker, 2,6-bip, adopts the μ₂:η¹η¹η⁰ in 1 and μ₂:η¹η¹η¹ in 2 coordination modes. PLATON calculation suggests that 1 possesses the micropore structure with a pore volume of 14.2%. In 3 , the [CuO₂N₂] parallelogram as a node is derived from Cu dsp³ hybrid orbital, while the linkers of 2,6-bipH and tfbdc adopt the μ₁:η¹η⁰η⁰ and μ₁:η¹η⁰/μ₁:η¹η⁰ coordination modes, respectively. Intriguingly, Zn(d¹⁰)-centre coordination polymer 1 shows strong blue emission, which are derived from the π* → π transition of the 2,6-bipH ligand. Moreover, 1 exhibits high stability and strong luminescence in both water and ethanol. At this point, the performance of 1 is studied as a chemical sensor for detecting fluoroquinolones drug. The results show that 1 can detect enoxacin in ethanol solution with a low detection limit of 3.61 × 10⁻⁵ M. The luminescent sensing mechanisms were investigated from experimental methods and theoretical calculation in detail as well.     

Synthesis and Spectral Characterization of Some Transition Metal Complexes Containing Pentadentate SNNNS Donor Heterocyclic Schiff Base Ligands

A new Schiff base, 2,6-diacetylpyridine bis(3-methylsulfhydryl-4-amino-5-mercapto-1,2,4-triazole) (DPMAMT) is designed and synthesized by the condensation of 2,6-diacetylpyridine with 3-methylsulfhydryl-4-amino-5-mercapto-1,2,4-triazole, and structurally characterized. Copper(II), cobalt(II), nickel(II), manganese(II), zinc(II), cadmium(II) and oxovanadium(IV) complexes of DPMAMT have been prepared for the first time, and characterized on the basis of elemental analyses, conductance measurements, magnetic properties, spectral (i.r., ¹H-n.m.r., u.v.–vis., e.p.r. and FAB-mass) and thermal studies. The complexes exhibit an octahedral geometry around the metal center. The pentadentate behavior of the ligand was confirmed on the basis of spectral studies.     

Novel optically active poly(amide-imide)s derived from L-aspartic acid

2,6-Bis-(2,5-dioxo-tetrahydro-N-(4-carboxyphenyl)pyrrol-3-yl)-pyrrolo[3,4-f]isoindole-1,3,5,7-teraone, a chiral diacid, was prepared from pyromellitic anhydride and L-aspartic acid in a three steps reaction pathway. The polycondensation reactions of the monomer with aromatic diamines were carried out in direct condensation reaction conditions. The synthesized poly(amide-imide)s had inherent viscosities in the range of 0.30–0.80 dl/g. Identification of all of the products were performed by conventional analytical techniques such as TLC, IR and ¹H NMR/¹³C MR spectroscopy. Thermoanalytical techniques (TGA/DSC) showed useful levels of thermal stability, associated with relatively high glass transition temperatures and carbonized residues in excess of 40% at 600°C for the synthesized polymers. Amorphous morphology was obtained based on XRD patterns and DSC traces. The polymers were soluble in a variety of polar organic solvents and afforded transparent and relatively flexible to brittle films by solution casting.     

High Tg and high organosolubility of novel polyimides containing twisted structures derived from 4-(4-amino-2-chlorophenyl)-1-(4-aminophenoxy)-2,6-di-tert-butylbenzene

A series of new polyimides (PIs) containing di-tert-butyl side groups were synthesized via the polycondensation of 4-(4-amino-2-chlorophenyl)-1-(4-aminophenoxy)-2,6-di-tert-butylbenzene (3) with various aromatic tetracarboxylic dianhydrides. The introduction of the asymmetric di-tert-butyl groups and twisted-biphenyl structures is an effective way to increase the inter chain distance and decrease the intermolecular interaction and packing ability of the resulted polymers. Thus, these novel PIs exhibited low dielectric constants (2.83-3.10), low moisture absorption (0.95-1.69%), excellent solubility, and high glass transition temperatures (307-456 °C). The PIs derived from the new diamine and the rigid pyromellitic dianhydride (PMDA) were soluble in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone, N,N-dimethylacetamide, tetrahydrofuran, m-cresol, and cyclohexanone. The polymers also show good retention of storage modulus at high temperature (325 °C). In addition, ¹H NMR spectrum of the diamine 3 revealed that the protons of 4-aminophenoxy moiety are not chemical shift equivalent.     

Synthesis and electronic properties of poly (E,E)-[6.2]-(2,5) thiophenophane-1,5-diene)

Cationic cyclopolymerization of (E, E)-[6.2]-(2,5) thiophenophane-1,5-diene ( 2 ) gave polymer 3 which has bridged thiophene rings pendant to the polymer backbone. The structural, thermal, and electronic properties of polymer 3 were compared to those of its benzene analogue ( 1 ) and its nonbridged analogue poly (2-vinylthiophene) ( 5 ). The onsets of thermal degradation for polymers 3 and 5 under helium were 425 and 382°C, respectively. Polymer 3 exhibited conductivity in the 10^?3?10^?4 S/cm range when exposed to iodine vapor, four orders of magnitude higher than for 5 treated in the same manner. Apparent energies of activation for conductivity in iodine saturated polymers 3 (0.57 eV) and 5 (0.61 eV) were calculated from conductivity temperature dependence measurements. Conductivity parameters for iodine saturated 3 show both a higher level of conductivity and weaker temperature dependence than for the corresponding cyclopolymer 1 which has benzene rather than thiophene moieties, suggesting that greater charge generation occurs in 3 , due to the lower oxidation potential of the thiophenophane repeat units. Differences in conductivity behavior for iodine saturated polymers 1, 3 , and 5 are discussed in terms of both charge generation and mobility. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Fire-resistant polyimides and copolyimides based on 1-[(dialkoxyphosphinyl)methyl]-2,4- and -2,6-diaminobenzenes

Various phosphorus-containing polyimides were prepared by the reaction of 1-[(dialkoxyphosphinyl)methyl]-2,4- and -2,6-diaminobenzenes (1) with a tetracarboxylic dianhydride like pyromellitic dianhydride (PMDA) and benzophenone tetracarboxylic dianhydride (BTDA). In addition, copolyimides that contained approximately 3% phosphorus were prepared by the reaction of 1 and m-phenylenediamine (MPD) with the aforementioned tetracarboxylic dianhydrides. Elemental analysis, inherent viscosity, infrared (IR) spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) studies were performed to characterize the polymers. Their thermal properties were compared with those of the corresponding common polyimides. It was shown that the molecular weight and thermal stability of the polymers were reduced as the concentration of the phosphorus moieties increased. The fire-resistance of the copolyimides was evaluated by determining their limiting oxygen index (LOI) value. Copolyimides that contained about 3% phosphorus showed an LOI value approximately 30% higher, than the value of the corresponding common polyimides. In addition, a model diamic acid and diimide was synthesized by the reaction of 1-[di(2-chloroethoxyphosphinyl)methyl]-2,4- and - 2,6-diaminobenzene (DCEPD) with phthalic anhydride and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, proton nuclear magnetic (¹H-NMR) spectroscopy, DSC, and TGA. The pyrolysis behavior of the model compounds was investigated by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). A direct cleavage of the P? C bond and a possible rearrangement to diisocyanates occurred during their pyrolysis.
