MULTIPLE MELTING AND CRYSTALLIZATION BEHAVIOR OF NYLON 1212

The wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD) patterns of isothermally crystallized Nylon 1212 show that γ-form crystals form below 90℃ and the α-form crystals can exist above 140℃. In the temperature range of 90-140℃, the α-form and γ-form crystals coexist. Variable-temperature WAXD exhibits that the nylon 1212 γ-form does not show crystal transition on heating, while α-form isothermally crystallized at 160℃ exhibits Brill transition at a little higher than 180℃ on heating. The multiple melting behaviors of Nylon 1212 isothermally crystallized from melt come from a complex mechanism of different crystal structures, dual lamellar population and melting-recrystallization. In polarized optical microscope (POM) observations, Nylon 1212 isothermally crystallized at 175℃ shows the ringed banded spherulites. However, at temperatures below 160℃ the ringed banded image disappears, and cross-extinct spherulites are formed.     

Isothermal and nonisothermal crystallization kinetics of irradiated nylon 1212

The crystallization behavior of nylon 1212, irradiated at ⁶⁰Co γ‐rays (50 kGy), was studied by a rheometer, polarized optical microscopy (POM), and differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). The results showed that irradiated nylon 1212 samples exhibited abnormal crystallization behavior during the crystallization process: The Avrami exponent n was calculated and was found to be in the range from 2.06–2.41 for isothermal crystallization, and from 2.67–4.91 for nonisothermal crystallization; the spherulite morphology also changed largely by polarized optical microscopy (POM); the crystallization activation energy ΔE for isothermal and nonisothermal crystallization process of irradiated nylon 1212 are determined to be 57.4 kJ/mol and 78.65 kJ/mol, respectively, which are lower than that of nonirradiated nylon 1212. At the same time, a new method by a combination of the Avrami and Ozawa equations was successfully applied to analyze the noncrystallization process of irradiated nylon 1212. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Cation pairing in kaolin-electrolyte systems

Summary The Bjerrum theory of ion pair formation is combined with the Gouy theory in order to calculate the amount of cations paired in clay double layers. It is shown that the paired amount increases with the decrease in electrolyte concentration present in clay systems. The pairing of cations causes the surface potential of particles to vary within a small range with some decrease with the decrease in electrolyte concentration. The pairing effect is used to explain the values of zeta potentials calculated from electric conductance measurements in clay electrolyte systems.

Zusammenfassung Die Bjerrumsche Theorie der Ionenpaarbildung wird kombiniert mit der Gouy-Theorie, um den Betrag an Kationen-Paaren in Ton-Doppelschichten zu berechnen. Es wird gezeigt, da\ die Paarbildung steigt mit Abnahme der Elektrolytkonzentration in den Ton-systemen. Die Kationen-Paare verursachen, da\ das Oberfl?chenpotential der Teilchen in einem kleinen Ma\e mit einer Abnahme variiert bei Abnahme der Elektrolytkonzentration. Die Paarbildung wird verwendet, um die Werte des Zetapotentials, berechnet aus der elektrolytischen Leitf?higkeit in Ton-Elektrolytsystemen, zu erkl?ren.

     

The Fluorenyl Cation

The fluorenyl cation is a textbook example for a 4π antiaromatic cation. However, contrasting results have been published on how the annelated benzene rings compensate the destabilizing effect of the 4π antiaromatic five‐membered ring in its core. Whereas previous attempts to synthesize this cation in superacidic media resulted in undefined polymeric material only, we herein report that it can be generated and isolated in amorphous water ice at temperatures below 30 K by photolysis of diazofluorene. Under these conditions, the fluorenylidene is protonated by water to give the fluorenyl cation, which could be characterized spectroscopically. Its absorption in the visible‐light range matches that previously obtained by ultrafast absorption spectroscopy, and furthermore, its IR spectrum could be recorded. The IR bands in amorphous ice very nicely match predictions from DFT and DFT/MM calculations, suggesting the absence of strong interactions between the cation and surrounding water molecules.

Solid-state NMR characterization of 69Ga and 71Ga in crystalline solids

Gallium model systems containing four- and six-coordinate gallium sites have been investigated using solid-state NMR. Measurement of the isotropic chemical shift and electric field gradient (EFG) have been performed at 9.4 T on alpha-Ga2O3, beta-Ga2O3, LiGaO2, NaGaO2, KGaO2, Ga2(SO4)3, and LaGaO3 using a variety of techniques on both NMR active nuclei (69Ga and 71Ga) including static, high speed magic-angle spinning (MAS), satellite transition (ST) spectroscopy, and rotor-assisted population transfer (RAPT). The chemical shift is found to correlate well with the coordination number, with four-coordinate gallium having values of approximately 50 ppm and six-coordinate gallium having values near 225 ppm (referenced to 1 M gallium nitrate solution). The magnitude of the EFG is found to be correlated to the distortion of the gallium polyhedra, with the strained systems having EFGs of 3 x 10(21) Vm(-2) or more, while the less strained systems have values of 1.5 x 10(21) Vm(-2) or less. A plot of chemical shift versus EFG suggests that solid-state NMR of gallium oxyanions can be more discriminating than liquid state NMR chemical shifts alone.     

Neomacrophorin and premacrophorin congeners from Trichoderma sp. 1212-03

Six novel neomacrophorin and four novel premacrophorin congeners were isolated from the fungus Trichoderma sp. 1212-03. Their planar structures and relative configurations were determined by conventional NMR and mass spectrometry techniques. The electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectral comparisons with known neomacrophorins were effective for elucidating the structures of congeners carrying 2,3-epoxybenzoquinone (1, 2) and 2,3-epoxybenzosemiquinol substructures (3, 4, 5, 7, 8, and 9). The configuration of the 6-hydroxy-2-cyclohexene-1,4-dione moiety in 5′-deoxyneomacrophorin IV (6) was elucidated by NMR spectral comparison with those of known purpurogemutantidin (16) and mancrophorin F (17). This also resulted in the configurational revision of 16. The relative configuration of the 5,6-epoxy-2-cyclohexen-1,4-diol in premacrophorintriol-II (10) was determined by ¹³C chemical shift analysis using density functional theory calculations at the ωB97X-D/6-31G* level of theory. Compounds 1 and 6 exhibited potent cytotoxicity against human Caucasian colon adenocarcinoma cell line COLO 201.     

热历史对尼龙1212熔融行为的影响

利用DSC方法研究了不同热历史条件对尼龙1212熔融行为的影响.不同的热历史条件下,在DSC曲线上,观察到尼龙1212产生2个或3个熔融峰,依据聚合物结晶理论,对各峰的来源进行了分析.在160℃下不同温度退火120 min的尼龙1212样品DSC曲线上,低温结晶熔融峰主要由低温结晶形成的一些微晶体或者片晶熔融产生,其晶体完善程度较差,熔融峰值较低,峰面积较小;主熔融峰是由样品在淬火过程中形成的晶体和升温过程中低温结晶形成的晶体的熔融重结晶形成较为完善的晶体熔融所产生,熔融峰值较高,峰面积较大.在不同的升温速率条件下,熔融峰温度有所移动,表明不同升温速率条件下产生的熔融峰的结晶晶型是相同的.在不同结晶时间下结晶,延长结晶时间对较高完善程度晶体的生长有利.在不同温度下依次退火处理的样品,熔融产生两个附加峰,这两个附加峰的峰温都比它们相应的退火温度高,而峰高和峰面积随退火温度降低而减小.根据等温结晶结果,由Hoffman方法确定了尼龙1212的平衡熔融温度为202.8℃.
