N-Methylimidazolium perchlorate([MIm]ClO₄) was synthesized and some of its physico-chemical properties, such as density, surface tension were investigated. A thermo gravimetric analysis(TGA) and solvent performance were also studied. The results show that this ionic liquid is an excellent catalyst for the synthesis of 4,4'-(arylmethylene)bis(1H-pyrazol-5-ol) derivatives under solvent-free conditions. This method has the advantages of high yield, clean transformation, simple operation and short reaction time. The ionic liquid can be recycled without significant loss of activity.

Preparation and catalytic properties of bis(imino)pyridine palladium(II) complexes as efficient catalysts for Suzuki cross‐coupling reaction in water

Air‐stable bis(imino)pyridine palladium(II) complexes were synthesized and complex 12 proved to be a highly efficient catalyst for the Suzuki cross‐coupling reaction between aryl bromides and arylboronic acids in air using water as solvent. The coupling reaction proceeded smoothly under mild conditions to provide biaryls in excellent yields and Pd black was not observed. The recycling of the catalysts was also investigated, for up to three cycles, and complex 12 still exhibited good activity. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Polymerization of Norbornene with CoCl2 and Pyridine Bisimine Cobalt(II) Complexes Activated with MAO

Addition polymerization of norbornene was performed with several pyridine bis(imine) cobalt dichloride complexes activated with methylaluminoxane (MAO), first described for ethylene polymerization. For the first time, norbornene was also polymerized with CoCl₂ associated to MAO. The influence of several reaction parameters has been investigated. Quite different behavior was observed compared with ethylene polymerization. Moreover, the copolymerization of ethylene and norbornene with these complexes was not possible but led to a mixture of both homopolymers.

Synthesis,characterization and magnetic properties of mixed-valence iron complexes with 2-pyridyl oximes

Abstract

Two new mixed-valence iron complexes with 2-pyridyl oximes, [Fe(mpko)₃Fe(H₂O)₂(NO₃)](NO₃)·2H₂O (1) (mpko^? = methyl(2-pyridyl)ketone oximate) and [{Fe(dpko)₃}₂Fe](ClO₄)·4H₂O (2) (dpko^? = bis(2-pyridyl)ketone oximate), have been prepared by reaction of Fe^III with mpkoH in methanol (1) and Fe^II with dpkoH in methanol/water (2). Dinuclear Fe^II(low-spin)Fe^III(high-spin) and trinuclear Fe^II(low-spin)Fe^III(high-spin)Fe^II(low-spin) cations are present in the crystal structure of 1 and 2, respectively. Intermolecular hydrogen bonds in 1 lead to weak antiferromagnetic interactions between pairs of neighboring Fe^III centers, which allows observation of single-ion zero-field splitting effects.     

Synthesis and characterization of arylene ether imide reactive oligomers and polymers containing diaryl alkyl phosphine oxide groups

The diamine monomer bis(m-aminophenyl) methyl phosphine oxide (DAMPO) was synthesized via nitration and reduction of diphenyl methyl phosphine oxide. Rigorous purification of this monomer enabled its utilization in the synthesis of high molecular weight poly(ether imide)s. Both thermoplastic materials and thermosetting systems, endcapped with either phthalic or phenylethynylphthalic anhydride, respectively, have been produced. Major emphasis has been placed on polyimides derived from 2,2′-bis(4-(3,4-dicarboxyphenoxy) phenyl) propane dian- hydride, also known as bisphenol-A dianhydride, or BPADA. High molecular weight homo- and copolyimides based on BPADA/DAMPO had glass transition temperature values in the range of 215–223°C, and were totally amorphous. They displayed higher modulus and tensile strength values than the polyetherimide control based on meta-phenylene diamine and also generated high TGA char yields in air. Phenylethynyl crosslinkable materials were effectively cured at 380°C to produce networks that are ductile, very solvent resistant and also generate high char yields, which suggest their possible utilization in fire resistant matrix systems. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Synthesis and characterization of new fluorene‐based poly(ether imide)s

A novel bis(ether anhydride) monomer, 9,9‐bis[4‐(3,4‐dicarboxyphenoxy)phenyl]fluorene dianhydride (4), was synthesized from the nitrodisplacement of 4‐nitrophthalonitrile by the bisphenoxide ion of 9,9‐bis(4‐hydroxyphenyl)fluorene (1), followed by alkaline hydrolysis of the intermediate tetranitrile and dehydration of the resulting tetracarboxylic acid. A series of poly(ether imide)s bearing the fluorenylidene group were prepared from the bis(ether anhydride) 4 with various aromatic diamines 5a–i via a conventional two‐stage process that included ring‐opening polyaddition to form the poly(amic acid)s 6a–i followed by thermal cyclodehydration to the polyimides 7a–i. The intermediate poly(amic acid)s had inherent viscosities in the range of 0.39–1.57 dL/g and afforded flexible and tough films by solution‐casting. Except for those derived from p‐phenylenediamine, m‐phenylenediamine, and benzidine, all other poly(amic acid) films could be thermally transformed into flexible and tough polyimide films. The glass transition temperatures (T_g) of these poly(ether imide)s were recorded between 238–306°C with the help of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and the softening temperatures (T_s) determined by thermomechanical analysis (TMA) stayed in the range of 231–301°C. Decomposition temperatures for 10% weight loss all occurred above 540°C in an air or a nitrogen atmosphere. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci A: Polym Chem 37: 1403–1412, 1999     

Helix-sense-selective copolymerization of phenyl[bis(2-pyridyl)]methyl methacrylate,diphenyl(2-pyridyl)methyl methacrylate and triphenylmethyl methacrylate with chiral anionic initiators

Optically active poly[triphenylmethyl methacrylate-co-phenyl[bis(2-pyridyl)]methyl methacrylate] (poly[TrMA-co-PB2PyMA], poly[diphenyl(2-pyridyl)methyl methacrylate-co-phenyl[bis(2-pyridyl)]methyl methacrylate] (poly[D2PyMA-co-PB2PyMA]), and poly[triphenylmethyl methacrylate-co-diphenyl(2-pyridyl)-methyl methacrylate] (poly[TrMA-co-D2PyMA]) were prepared by helix-sense-selective copolymerization with complexes of organolithium with (−)-sparteine [(−)Sp],(S, S)-(+)- and (R, R)-(−)-2,3-dimethoxy-1,4-bis(dimethylamino)butane [(+)- and (−)DDB], and (S)-(+)-2-(1-pyrrolidinylmethyl)pyridine [(+)PMP] as anionic initiators in toluene at low temperature. The copolymers obtained with (−)Sp and (+)DDB or (−)DDB complexes of organolithium showed low optical activity, but to [(+)PMP] complex with N,N′-diphenyleneamine monolithium amide [(+)PMP–DPEDA–Li)] was effective in synthesizing copolymers of high optical rotation ([α] about +320 to + 370°) which were comparable to those of corresponding homopolymers with one-handed helical structure. The optical rotations of poly[TrMA-co-PB2PyMA] and poly[TrMA-co-D2PyMA] were much more stable than that of poly(D2PyMA) or poly(PB2PyMA) in a solution of CHCl₃–2,2,2-trifluoroethanol (10 : 1, v/v) at 25°C, but optical rotation of poly[D2PyMA-co-PB2PyMA] slowly decreased with time in the same conditions. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Synthesis, characterization and catalytic activity of organolanthanide(II) complexes with heterocyclic-functionalized fluorenyl ligands

Two series of new organolanthanide(II) complexes with tetrahydro-2H-pyranyl- or N-piperidineethyl-functionalized fluorenyl ligands were synthesized via one-electron reductive elimination reaction. Treatments of [(Me₃Si)₂N]₃Ln^III(μ-Cl)Li(THF)₃ with 2 equiv. of C₅H₉OCH₂C₁₃H₉ (1) or C₅H₁₀NCH₂CH₂C₁₃H₉ (2), respectively, in toluene at about 80 °C produced, after workup, the corresponding organolanthanide(II) complexes with formula [η⁵:η¹-C₅H₉OCH₂C₁₃H₈]₂Ln^II (Ln = Yb (3), Ln = Eu (4)) and [η⁵:η¹-C₅H₁₀NCH₂CH₂C₁₃H₈]₂Ln^II (Ln = Yb (5), Ln = Eu (6)) in good yields. All the compounds were fully characterized by spectroscopic methods and elemental analyses. The structures of complexes 3, 4, and 6 were additionally determined by single-crystal X-ray analyses. It represents the first example of solvent-free organolanthanide(II) complexes with fluorenyl ligands. The catalytic properties of the organolanthanide(II) complexes on the polymerization of ε-caprolactone and methyl methacrylate have been studied. The temperatures, solvents and coordination effects on the catalytic activities of the complexes were examined.     

Synthesis and characterization of poly(thioether ether sulfone imide)s derived from isomeric bis(chlorophthalimide)s and bis(4-mercaptophenyl) sulfone

A series of isomeric bis(chlorophthalimide)s (BCPIs) were conveniently prepared from 3-chlorophthalic anhydride, 4-chlorophthalic anhydride, and mixtures thereof. Polymerization of BCPIs with bis(4-mercaptophenyl) sulfone (BMPS) proceeded smoothly in the presence of tributylamine, from which a class of isomeric poly(thioether ether sulfone imide)s (PTESIs) with inherent viscosities of 0.45-0.82 dL/g were obtained. The solubility, thermal stability, and mechanical properties of these polymers were characterized. Compared to the PTESIs derived from single BCPIs, i.e., 3,3′-, 3,4′-, or 4,4′-BCPIs, the PTESIs derived from mixed BCPIs showed better solubility and higher storage modulus. These PTESIs also demonstrated good thermal stability, giving only 5% weight loss at temperature of 490 °C in nitrogen atmosphere. The glass transition temperatures (T_gs) of these isomeric PTESIs were between 242 and 265 °C, and were increased with increasing of the ratio of 3-chlorophthalimide unit in the polymer backbone.     

Synthesis and characterization of 2,2‐bis(methylol)propionic acid dendrimers with different cores and terminal groups

Three sets of aliphatic polyester dendrimers based on 2,2‐bis(methylol)propionic acid (bis‐MPA) were synthesized. Two of the sets had benzylidene terminal groups and either a trimethylolpropane or triphenolic core moiety. The last set had acetonide terminal groups and a triphenolic core moiety. Benzylidene‐[G#1]‐anhydride and acetonide‐[G#1]‐anhydride were used as the reactive building blocks in the construction of all dendrimers. The large excess of building blocks used in the coupling reactions initially resulted in considerable material loss. This waste was eliminated through the development of a recycling method. ¹H and ¹³C NMR and matrix‐assisted laser desorption/ionization time‐of‐flight (MALDI‐TOF) analysis were used to verify the purity of all compounds. Size exclusion chromatography (SEC) was used, as well as MALDI‐TOF, for molecular weight determinations. The SEC measurements were conducted with a universal calibration method and an online right‐angle laser light scattering detector. Measured dendrimer molecular weights were close to their theoretical molar masses. Observations were also made of the hydrodynamic radius and intrinsic viscosity for the different dendrimers. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem 42: 1758–1767, 2004     

Preparation and thermal characterization of poly(2‐vinylpyridine) copolymers coordinated to Cr nanoparticles

In this study, polystyrene‐block‐poly(2‐vinylpyridine), PS‐b‐P2VP, polyisoprene‐block‐poly(2‐vinylpyridne), PI‐b‐P2VP and poly(methyl metacrylate)‐block‐poly(2‐vinylpyridine), PMMA‐b‐P2VP, coordinated to Cr metal were synthesized and characterized by Fourier transform infrared, transmission electron microscopy and direct pyrolysis mass spectrometry techniques. Both thermal degradation mechanism and thermal stability of P2VP blocks were affected by the coordination of Cr nanoparticles to nitrogen of pyridine rings. Thermal decomposition of P2VP blocks was started by loss of pyridine units leaving an unsaturated and/or crosslinked polymer backbone that degraded at relatively high temperatures. Incorporation of Cr metal did not noticeably influence thermal behavior of PS and PI blocks. However, increase in thermal stability of PMMA block was detected and associated with inhibition of the interactions between carbonyl groups of MMA chains with nitrogen atom of pyridine ring as a consequence of coordination to metal.

Synthesis and characterization of new poly[phenylquinoxaline(ether)imides]

A series of new aromatic poly[phenylquinoxaline(ether)imides] were synthesized by solution polycondensation of aromatic diamines containing preformed phenylquinoxaline groups with dianhydrides having ether linkages and isopropylidene or hexafluoroisopropylidene units. All polymers are readily soluble in polar organic solvents (N-methylpyrrolidinone, DMF, dimethylacetamide) and in less polar liquids such as chloroform. Very thin coatings were deposited onto silicon wafers. According to atomic force microscopy, they had a smooth, pinhole-free surface. The polymers showed high thermal stability with decomposition temperatures above 470 °C and glass transition temperatures in the range of 210–238 °C, being thus characterized by a large gap between the glass transition and decomposition temperatures.Based on the report presented at the International Conference Modern Trends in Organoelement and Polymer Chemistry dedicated to the 50th year anniversary of the A. N. Nesmeyanov Institute of Organoelement Compounds of the Russian Academy of Sciences (Moscow, May 30–June 4, 2004).Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Substituted 3-hydroxypyrazoles, which were prepared based on ethyl esters of substituted 4-(pyridin-2-ylthio)- or 4-(1,4-dihydropyridin-2-ylthio)acetoacetic acids and hydrazine hydrate, were used in the synthesis of 6-amino-4-aryl-5-cyano-3-(pyridin-2-ylthiomethyl)-2,4-dihydropyrano[2,3-c]pyrazoles. The molecular and crystal structure of 6-amino-5-cyano-3-(3-cyano-4,6-dimethylpyridin-2-ylthiomethyl)-4-(2-nitrophenyl)-2,4-dihydropyrano[2,3-c]pyrazole was established by X-ray diffraction analysis.     

Synthesis, structural characterization and antibacterial activity of 2,6-diacetylpyridine bis(benzenesulfonohydrazide) Schiff bases and their copper(II) complexes

2,6-Diacetylpyridine bis(benzenesulfonohydrazide) Schiff bases (L¹, L² and L³) and their Cu(II) complexes of the general formula [CuL·H₂O] were synthesized and characterized by various spectroscopic techniques. The crystal structure of [CuL³·(py)]·py was investigated by single crystal X-ray structure analysis. The Cu(II) cation has near square pyramidal, penta-coordinate geometry. The binegatively charged tetradentate Schiff base is asymmetrically coordinated to the Cu(II) ion via the pyridine N atom, the azomethine N atom, the sulfonyl O atom and the deprotonated hydrazine N atom. There is a pyridine molecule apically coordinated to the Cu(II) ion. All the Schiff bases and their copper(II) complexes were screened by the disc diffusion method against multi-drug resistant (MDR) gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values were also determined. These results show that the antibacterial activity of the Schiff bases against Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is enhanced when they are chelated with the copper(II) ion.
