N,N′,N′′,N′′′‐Tetraethylterephthalamidinium bis(tetrazolate)

The crystal structure of the title 2:1 salt of tetrazole and a substituted terephthal­amidine, C₁₆H₂₈N₄²⁺·2CHN₄^?, contains an infinite network of hydrogen bonds, with short N?N distances of 2.820 (2) and 2.8585 (19) Å between the tetrazolate anion and the amidinium cation. Involvement of the lateral N atoms of the tetrazole in the hydrogen bonding appears to be a typical binding pattern for the tetrazolate anion.

Synthesis of substituted polymethylenes by radical polymerization of N,N,N′,N′-tetraalkylfumaramides and their characterization

Radical polymerization of N,N,N′,N′-tetraalkylfumaramides (TRFAm) bearing methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, and isobutyl groups as N-substituents (TMFAm, TEFAm, TnPFAm, TIPFAm, and TIBFAm, respectively) was investigated. In the polymerization of TEFAm initiated with 1,1′-azobiscyclohexane-1-carbonitrile (ACN) in benzene, the polymerization rate (R_p) was expressed as follows: R_p = k [ACN]^0.28 [TEFAm]^1.26, and the overall activation energy was 102.1 kJ/mol. The introduction of a bulky alkyl group into N-substituent of TRFAm decreased the R_p in the following order: TMFAm > TEFAm > TnPFAm > TIBFAm > TIPFAm ～ 0. The relative reactivities of these monomers were also investigated in radical copolymerization with styrene (St) and methyl methacrylate (MMA). In copolymerization of TRFAm (M₂) with St (M₁), monomer reactivity ratios were determined to be r₁ = 1.07 and r₂ = 0.20 for St–TMFAm, and r₁ = 1.88 and r₂ = 0.11 for St–TEFAm, from which Q₂ and e₂ values were estimated to be 0.35 and 0.44 for TMFAm, and 0.19 and 0.47 for TEFAm, respectively. The other TRFAm were also copolymerized with St, but copolymerization with MMA gave polymers containing a small amount of TRFAm units. The polymer from TRFAm consists of a less-flexible poly(N,N-dialkylaminocarbonylmethylene) structure. The solubility and thermal property of the polymers were also investigated.     

N,N,N′,N′,N″‐penta(methyl acrylate)diethylenetriamine: A novel ligand for atom transfer radical polymerization of methyl methacrylate

A novel ligand, N,N,N′,N′,N″‐penta (methyl acrylate) diethylenetriamine (MA₅‐DETA), was synthesized by the reaction of diethylenetriamine with methyl acrylate in almost quantitive yield. The polymerizations of methyl methacrylate with MA₅‐DETA as the ligand and α,α‐dichlorotoluene (DCT) and ethyl 2‐bromoisobutyrate (2‐EBiB) as the initiators, respectively, under different conditions were examined. The polymerization with CuCl/MA₅‐DETA/DCT was closely controlled in bulk and gave polymers with quite narrow molecular weight distributions (M_w/M_n's) of 1.16–1.29. The polymerization with the system CuBr/MA₅‐DETA/EBiB in bulk gave high activity. However, the system was not well controlled and gave the polymers with M_w/M_n = 1.35–1.53. The solution polymerization in anisole with CuBr/MA₅‐DETA/EBiB showed a better‐controlled nature. Moreover, the addition of CuBr₂ into the aforementioned system can further improve its controllability. The M_w/M_n's of the resulting polymers ranged from 1.11 to 1.21. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem 42: 1963–1969, 2004     

Syntheses of N,N′-Bis(salicylideneiminoethyl)oxamidatodicopper(II), N,N′-Bis(salicylideneiminoisopropyl)-oxamidatodicopper(II), and N,N′-Bis(2-pyridylideneiminopropyl)oxamidatodicopper(II) Nitrate and Corresponding Perchlorate

Reactions of coordinated functional groups were carried out as follows: The product formed by reaction of A-1a

1 The four new complexes are shown as A-3a, A-3b, B-3a, and B-3b (cf. Fig. 1), and other related complexes are shown as A-1a, A-1b, A-2a, A-2b, B-n, B-1, B-4, and B-5 (cf. Fig. 2)

or A-1b with copper(II), reacts with salicylaldehyde to give A-3a or A-3b, respectively. And the product formed by reaction of B-1 with copper(II), reacts with pyridine-2-aldehyde to give B-3a or B-3b. The four binuclear copper(II) complexes thus isolated as the new compounds have been characterized by elemental analyses, u.v. and i.r. spectra, magnetic susceptibility, and electronic conductivity measurements. Attempts to exchange the reactants with one another were unsuccessful.     

[N,N′‐Bis(3‐aminopropyl)ethylenediamine‐κ4N,N′,N′′,N′′′](trithiocyanurato‐κ2N,S)zinc(II) ethanol solvate

In the crystal structure of the title compound, [N,N′‐bis(3‐­amino­propyl)­ethyl­enedi­amine‐κ⁴N,N′,N′′,N′′′][1,3,5‐triazine‐2,4,6(1H,3H,5H)‐tri­thionato(2−)‐κ²N,S]­zinc(II) ethanol sol­vate, [Zn(C₈H₂₂N₄)₂(C₃HN₃S₃)]·C₂H₆O, the Zn^II atom is octa­hedrally coordinated by four N atoms [Zn—N = 2.104 (2)–2.203 (2) Å] of a tetradentate N‐donor N,N′‐bis(3‐­amino­propyl)­ethyl­enedi­amine (bapen) ligand and by two S and N atoms [Zn—S = 2.5700 (7) Å and Zn—N = 2.313 (2) Å] of a tri­thio­cyanurate(2−) (ttcH²⁻) dianion bonded as a bidentate ligand in a cis configuration.

A complex containing three different kinds of Ru—N bonds: ethoxydinitronitrosyl(N,N,N′,N′‐tetramethylethylenediamine‐κ2N,N′)ruthenium(II)

The octahedral title compound, [Ru(C₂H₅O)(NO)(NO₂)₂(C₆H₁₆N₂)], crystallizes in the rhombohedral space group P3₁ with an ethoxy ligand axially coordinated trans to the nitro­syl ligand. The Ru^II ion is equatorially coordinated by a tetramethylethylenediamine group acting as a bidentate ligand, and to two nitro moieties whose planes are tilted with respect to the mean equatorial plane. Each nitro­gen ligand bonded to the metallic centre has a different hybridization state.     

The Preparation and Structural Study of Nickel (II) Complexes of N,N′-(8-Quinolyl)Trimethylenediamines

A number of Ni(II) complexes of N,N′-bis(8-quinolyl)trimethylenediamines are synthesized both as perchlorate salts and neutral amino complexes. Substitutions on the 2 and 6 positions of the quinolyl ligands are introduced for various reasons concerning the structural studies. The structural informations are obtained by studies of the magnetic properties, electronic spectra and NMR spectra. Structural changes effected by acid/base property of the medium are followed by NMR spectroscopy.     

The synthesis and solution properties of some rigid-chain,water-soluble polymers: Poly[N,N′-(sulfo-phenylene)phthalamide]s and poly[N,N′-(sulfo-p-phenylene)pyromellitimide]

Poly[N,N′-(sulfo-phenylene)phthalamid]es and poly[N,N′-(sulfo-p-phenylene)pyromellitimide] were prepared in water-soluble form and were found to have unique solution properties, similar in some respects to xanthan. The polymer most investigated, poly[N,N′-(sulfo-p-phenylene)terephthalamide] (PPT-S), is produced as the dimethylacetamide (DMAC) salt by the solution polymerization of 2,5-diaminobenzenesulfonic acid with terephthaloyl chloride in DMAC containing LiCl. The isolated polymer requires heating in water to dissolve; the resulting cooled solutions are viscous or gels at concentrations as low as 0.4%. They are highly birefringent, exhibit circular dichroism properties, and are viscosity-sensitive to salt. Solutions of this polymer mixed with those of guar or hydroxyethyl cellulose give significantly enhanced viscosity. The polymer is relatively low molecular weight, ca. 5000 estimated from viscosity data. Some meta and para isomeric analogs of PPT-S were prepared; these polymers have similar properties except they are more soluble in water, and higher concentrations are required to obtain significant viscosity. Poly[N,N′-(sulfo-p-phenylene) pyromellitimide] (PIM-S) was prepared similarly from 2,5-diaminobenzenesulfonic acid and pyromellitic dianhydride. Its aqueous solution properties are similar to those of PPT-S. It appears that these relatively low-molecular-weight rigid-chain polymers associate in water to form a network that results in viscous solutions at low concentrations.     

New,strong cationic hydrogels: Preparation of N,N,N′,N′‐tetraallyl piperazinium dibromide and its copolymers with N,N‐diallyl morpholinium bromide

N,N,N′,N′‐tetraallyl piperazinium dibromide (TAP) has been prepared in high yields by quaternization of N,N′‐diallyl piperazine with allyl bromide. Herein, we have described preparation of nonhydrolysable, strong, cationic hydrogels by copolymerization of TAP with N,N‐diallyl morpholinium bromide (DAM) in the presence of t‐butyl hydroperoxide as initiator in aqueous solutions. Because the monomer and crosslinker involved consist of quaternary amine functions, these hydrogels are fully cationic and do not carry hydrolysable groups. Contrary to expectations, the quaternary amine hydrogels presented do not show any super absorbency, instead dry gel particles in water undergo spontaneous disintegration with an audible bursting of the particles due to instantaneous, high osmotic pressure. Whereas, in KBr or HBr solutions, the swellings are relatively slow. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci A: Polym Chem 38: 1006–1013, 2000
