Synthesis of Poly(glutamic acid-co-aspartic acid) via Combination of N-carboxyanhydride Ring Opening Polymerization with Debenzylation简

The random copolymers of glutamic acid （LG） and aspartic acid （ASP）, poly（LG-co-ASP）, with designed compositions could be successfully synthesized via combination of N-carboxyanhydride ring opening copolymerization with debenzylation. Ring opening copolymerizations of y：benzyl-L-glutamate N-carboxyanhydride （BLG-NCA） and β-benzyl-Laspartate N-carboxyanhydride （BLA-NCA） were carried out by using different amines including triethylamine （TEA）, diethylamine, n-hexylamine （NHA）, triphenylamine, diphenylamine or aniline as initiators. All the 6 amines were highly efficient to get well-defined poly（BLG-co-BLA） copolymers with designed compositions although the polymerizations proceeded via different mechanisms （normal amine mechanism or/and activated monomer mechanism）, which are based on chemical structure of amines. The molecular weights of poly（BLG-co-BLA） copolymers could be mediated by both TEA concentration and polymerization time. Then, debenzylation ofpoly（BLG-co-BLA） copolymers was conducted to prepare the corresponding hydrophilic random eopolymers of poly（LG-co-ASP） with a-subunit structure in ASP structural units. The contents of LG structural units in poly（LG-co-ASP） copolymers matched with those of BLG-NCA in NCA-monomer feeds in ring opening copolymerizations initiated by NHA or TEA and were closed to the theoretical line. The diblock copolymer of poly（BLG-b-BLA） could also be synthesized via living NCA ring opening copolymerization by sequential addition of BLG- NCA and BLA-NCA.     

PHOTOSENSITIVITY OF Ce (Ⅳ) INITIATED METHYL ACRYLATE POLYMERIZATION

The influences of UV light irradiation (313 nm) and diffused daylight on the polymerization of methyl acrylate initiated by the ceric ammonium nitrate without any reducing agent have been studied both in aqueous nitric acid and in pure water. The rate of polymerization was found to be accelerated and the overall activation energy and the induction time were found to be decreased sharply by the UV light irradiation. Under UV light, the rate of polymerization is 8 times as high as the rate in dark. The rate of polymerization was found to attain a maximum with the increase of nitric acid concentration and the rate of polymerization became less sensitive to UV light in the presence of nitric acid whereas the induction period reduced outstandingly. Based on the experimental results, the mechanism is proposed.     

Crystal Structures and DNA Binding Properties of 2-Naphthoxyacetic Acid Cu(Ⅱ) Complexes

Two new copper complexes based on 2-naphthoxyacetic acid ligand, namely [Cu(L)_2(CH_3CN)]_2(1) and [Cu(L)(1,10-phen)_2](2), where L = 2-naphthoxyacetic acid and 1,10-phen = 1,10-phenanthroline, were obtained by hydrothermal reaction and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The binuclear complex 1 and mononuclear complex 2 belong to space group C2/c and P■, respectively. The binding properties of the two compounds with ct-DNA were investigated by UV-Vis and fluorescence spectra. The two compounds could bind with ct-DNA through interactions. Compound 2 displays stronger binding ability in the reaction with ct-DNA.     

SYNTHESIS AND PROPERTIES OF COPOLYMERS CONTAINING CUCURBIT[6]URIL-BASED PSEUDOROTAXANE STRUCTURE

Novel copolymers based on acrylamide（AM）and complex pseudorotaxane monomer N’-（3-vinylbenzyl）-1,4- diaminobutane dihydrochloride with cucurbit[6]uril（CB[6]）（3VBCB）were prepared via free-radical polymerization in aqueous solution,and characterized by ¹H-NMR,FT-IR,elemental analysis and static light scattering.The compositions of the copolymers（PAM3VBCB）with pseudorotaxane units were determined by ¹H-NMR and elemental analysis.Thermal properties of the copolymers were studied by TGA,and the effects of the copolymer concentration and pH on the average hydrodynamic radius（R_h）of the copolymer molecules were studied by dynamic light scattering（DLS）.The experiment data show that CB[6]beads are localized on 1,4-diaminobutane units in side chains of the copolymers.TGA results show that thermal stability of the copolymer increases with increasing the content of pseudorotaxane unit because of the enhanced rigidity and the bulky steric hindrance of 3VBCB in side chains of PAM3VBCB.DLS data show that the average hydrodynamic radius of copolymer molecules increases with the increase in the copolymer concentration,and both the pH and electrical conductivity of PAM3VBCB solutions demonstrate an acute change with addition of NaOH because of CB[6] dethreading from the side chains of PAM3VBCB.CB[6]threading and dethreading of PAM3VBCB could be controlled by addition of BaCl₂ and Na₂SO₄     

Synthesis and photo activity of phenylazonaphthalene peptide nucleic acid monomers

Phenylazonaphthalene peptide nucleic acid （PNA） monomers were successfully synthesized, and their photoisomerization was examined. The new PNA monomers showed reversible trans-cis isomerization with UVand visible light irradiation, which might be the foundation of photo-regulating the hybridization between PNA containing phenylazonaphthalene unit and DNA. Simultaneously, the fluorescence of the new PNA monomers might make them especially useful as structural probes.     

MOLECULAR DESIGN OF LIGHT EMITTING POLYMERS

Fluorene-based alternating and statistical copolymers were synthesized by employing reaction methods of Wittig,Heck and Suzuki. The copolymers were classified into three groups with the photoluminescence (PL) emission maxima at420, 475 and 500 nm, respectively. Statistical copolymers with two chromophores having PL emission maxima at 420 and475 nm emitted light with the emission maximum at 475 nm on photoexcitation at 365 nm and improved the quantumefficiency by the energy transfer. However, the intramolecular energy transfer was inefficient compared to the intermolecularenergy transfer when the two chromophores were apart from each other in the range of the Forster critical distance. Fluorene-pyridinedivinylene alternating copolymer was synthesized by the Wittig reaction and found to have physical, electronic andelectrochemical properties of the individual units intact. The double-layered light emitting diode (LED) with the statisticalcopolymer as an emitting layer and the pyridine-containing copolymer as an electron transporting-hole blocking layer, whichwere sandwiched between ITO and Al, displayed a quantum efficiency of 0.1%.     

Tunable UCST thermoresponsive copolymers based on natural glycyrrhetinic acid

Water-soluble thermoresponsive polymers present either upper critical solution temperature(UCST) or lower critical solution tempe rature(LCST) depending on the location of their miscibility range with water at high temperatures or at low temperatures.Compared with LCST polymers,the water-soluble UCST polymers are still less explored until now.In this work three copolymers of P(AAm-co-GAA) were synthesized by copolymerizing two acrylamide monomers,acrylamide(AAm) and acrylamide functionalized with natural glycyrrhetinic acid(GAA),using reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer(RAFT) polymerization.These copolymers exhibited the typical UCST thermoresponsive behavior,and their phase transition temperatures could be easily tuned to around 37℃ for potential biological applications.Moreover,the UCST of P(AAm-co-GAA) can be adjusted not only by the content of glycyrrhetinic acid(GA) and polymer concentrations,but also by the host-guest interactions between GA and cyclodextrins(β-and γ-CD).The suitable value of UCST and the biocompatible nature of GA and CDs may endow these copolymers with practical applications in biomedical chemistry.     

HYDROGEN-BONDING INDUCED CHANGE OF CRYSTALLIZATION BEHAVIOR OF POLY（BUTYLENE SUCCINATE） IN ITS MIXTURES WITH BISPHENOL A

In the present work, the blend of poly（butylene succinate） （PBS） and bisphenol A （BPA） was prepared by solution mixing, and the intermolecular interactions between the two components were characterized by a combination of nuclear magnetic resonance （NMR） and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy （FTIR）. The results showed that intermolecular hydrogen-bonding forms between the carbonyl group of PBS and phenol hydroxyl of BPA. With the increase of BPA content, more hydrogen bonds were formed. The effect of hydrogen bonding on the crystallization behavior of PBS was investigated by differential scanning calorimetry （DSC） and polarized optical microscopy （POM）. The results showed that the overall isothermal crystallization kinetics and the spherulite growth rate of PBS decrease with the increase of BPA content, while the PBS spherulite size increases with BPA content.     

Photochemical degradation of environmentally persistent perfluorooctanoic acid （PFOA） in the presence of Fe（Ⅲ）

Environmentally persistent and bioaccumulative perfluorooctanic acid （PFOA） was difficult to be decomposed under the irradiation of 254 nm UV light. However, in the presence of 80μmol/L Fe（Ⅲ）, 80% of PFOA with initial concentration of 48μmol/L （20 mg/L） was effectively degraded and 47.8% of fluorine atoms in PFOA molecule were transformed into inorganic fluoride ion after 4 h reaction. Shorter chain perfluorocarboxylic acids bearing C3-C7 and fluoride ion were detected and identified by LC/MS and IC as the degradation products in the aqueous solution. It was proposed that complexes of PFOA with Fe（Ⅲ） initiated degradation of PFOA irradiated with 254 nm UV light.     

生物相容性BAB型两亲嵌段共聚物的合成及其自组装

Lys(z)-NCA was synthesized in the presence of triphosgene, amphiphilic triblock copolymers poly(N^c-CBZ-Lysine)-PEG-poly(N^c-CBZ-Lysine) were synthesized in DMF using amino-end ended PEG as initiator with the mechanism of anion ring opening polymerization. The structures of block copolymers were characterized by IR, ^1H-NMR,GPC and DSC. The results showed triblock copolymers with expected structure and low polydispersity in molecular weight could be synthesized by this method. At the same time, the self-assembling behaviors of block copolymer were investigated by TEM. A novel helical aggregates were found to be formed in DMF. Because of biocompatibility of two components of block copolymers, these block copolymers have potential applications in the field of biomaterials.     

Synthesis, characterization and degradation of a novel class of fluorescent poly[1,3-bis(p-carboxyphenoxy) propane: p-(carboxyethylformamido)benzoic anhydride] (P(CPP:CEFB))

One class of fluorescent copolyanhydrides were synthesized by melt copolycondensation of the fluorophoric diacid, p-(carboxyethylformamido)benzoic acid (CEFB), with 1,3-bis(p-carboxyphenoxy) propane (CPP). ¹H NMR spectra of the copolymers confirm their chemical structures. All the copolymers can give off fluorescence with the excitation of both UV (356 nm) and visible light (470 nm). The fluorescence intensity increases with an increase in CEFB fraction. The degradation rate of the copolyanhydrides can be modulated by the polymer components, increasing with a decrease in CPP content. In addition, CEFB segments in the copolymers degraded rapider than CPP segments, resulting in an increase in CPP fraction in the degraded copolyanhydrides. Morphology change of the copolyanhydrides during degradation was also examined by SEM. It was found that the outer layers of the degraded samples erode faster than the inner layers. Fluorescence intensity of the degraded copolyanhydrides diminished with time.     

In vivo Degradation and histocompatibility of a novel class of fluorescent copolyanhydrides, poly{[di(p-carboxyphenyl) succinate]-co-(sebacic anhydride)}

In this work, the in vivo degradation and tissue compatibility of a novel class of inherently fluorescent copolyanhydrides, P(dCPS:SA), were investigated. It was found that the degradation of the copolyanhydrides increased with the increase of SA content in the copolymers. The in vivo degradation rate of the copolymers was slower than that studied in vitro. A surface erosion characteristic of the copolyanhydrides was revealed by SEM and fluorescent microscopy. Mild inflammatory reactions were observed on days 6 and 10 after implantation for all the studied copolymers. By the end of 30 d, there were almost no inflammation reactions taking place.     

Novel copolyanhydrides combining strong inherent fluorescence and a wide range of biodegradability: synthesis, characterization and in vitro degradation

In this work, a novel diacid monomer was synthesized in a very convenient scheme. The monomer is derived from naturally occurring products and emits strong fluorescence when polymerized to polyanhydride. The chemical structure of the monomer dCPS is as follows: HOC(O)ArOC(O)(CH2)2C(O)O--Ar--COOH. Copolyanhydrides composed of dCPS and sebacic acid were further prepared by melt copolycondensation, and characterized by IR, NMR, UV-Vis, DSC and fluorometry. The emission wavelength (lambda(em)) of the copolymers could be tuned by the excitation wavelength (lambda(ex)). Fluorescence intensity increased with the increase of dCPS content. The microspheres fabricated from the copolymer with dCPS content as low as 10% could be clearly visualized with fluorescence microscopy. Either blue or green images of the microspheres could be captured with an excitation of UV and visible light. The degradation rate of the copolyanhydrides decreased as the dCPS fraction increased, and the degradation duration could be modulated from several days to more than three months. In addition, it was found that the copolyanhydrides displayed surface degradation characteristics. In view of the advantages of the novel copolyanhydrides, such as easy preparation, unique inherent luminescent properties, and widely adjustable degradation rate, they might be useful for biomedical engineering.

Effects of Block Length in Copolymers Based on Regioregular Oligothiophenes Linked With Electron‐Accepting Units

Copolymers with an alternating structure of regioregular oligo(3‐hexylthiophene) (O3HT) with different lengths and 2,5‐dibutyl‐3,6‐di(thiophen‐2‐yl)pyrrolo[3,4‐c]pyrrole‐1,4(2H,5H)‐dione (DPP) were synthesized through Stille coupling reaction. The light absorption of the copolymers can be rationally tuned to have a broad spectrum across the visible region by adjusting the length of O3HT. Organic solar cells fabricated with the copolymers and PCBM showed a broad photoresponse and a comparable efficiency to that of poly(3‐hexylthiophene) (P3HT):PCBM cells. The external quantum efficiency and fluorescence spectra suggested that the intrachain energy transfer from the O3HT block to the vicinity of the DPP unit could limit the photovoltaic performance of the copolymers.     

Photosensitive cross-linked block copolymers with controllable release

We intend to form photosensitive block copolymer micelles for controllable release of encapsulated substances. Here, we designed and synthesized a new photocleavable cross-linker (2-nitrophenyl ethylene glycol dimethacrylate) for methyl methacrylate (MMA) atom transfer radical polymerization. Four different ratios (0:1, 1:26, 1:16, 1:8.8) of the photocleavable cross-linker to MMA monomer were used and four block copolymers (P0, P1, P2, P3) were synthesized with PEO-Br as the macroinitiator. Gel permeation chromatography and (1) H NMR studies showed that linear polymer molecules could be cross-linked by the photocleavable linker. The fluorescence studies of the encapsulated Nile Red (NR) showed that there were lower critical micelle concentrations for the polymer P1, P2 and P3 than polymer P0. And dynamic light scattering and SEM confirmed the formation of polymer micelles. Photolysis experiments demonstrated that NR encapsulated in the polymer micelles could be released upon UV irradiation (365 nm, 11 mW cm(-2)) due to the breakage of the photocleavable linker and the generation of more hydrophilic acid moieties, which destabilized polymer micelles. Our study shows a new strategy for the possibility of photocontrollable drug release for hydrophobic drugs.
