Synthesis and characterization of phosphonate‐containing polysiloxanes

Phosphonate‐functionalized polysiloxanes have been prepared with a new siloxane/phosphonate monomer. The reaction of 3‐chloropropylmethyldimethoxysilane with trimethylphosphite or triethylphosphite produces several new monomers containing pendant phosphonate groups. Copolymerization with dimethyldimethoxysilane has produced polymers soluble in most organic solvents. The acid hydrolysis of the phosphoryl esters has produced hydrophilic siloxane polymers containing phosphonic acid groups. The thermal properties of the polymers and several related small molecules have been compared with thermogravimetric analysis. Both the monomers and the resulting polymers have been characterized with ¹H, ¹³C, ³¹P, and ²⁹Si NMR. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem 41: 48–59, 2003     

Thermally stable recyclable naphthalenediimide–siloxane polymers

We report here the synthesis and study of naphthalenediimide–siloxane polymers with high thermal stability. Two of the five polymers investigated could be developed into recyclable materials. We use solid-state ²⁹Si NMR to evaluate the degree of cross-linking and polymerisation in our materials.     

Structure–property co‐relationship of fluorinated poly(imide‐siloxane)s

Eight poly(imide‐siloxane)s co‐polymers have been prepared by one pot solution imidization method. The polymers are synthesized by the reaction of bisphenol‐A‐dianhydride (BPADA) with fluorinated diamine 4,4′‐bis(3″‐trifluoromethyl‐p‐aminobiphenyl ether) biphenyl, and aminopropyl‐terminated polydimethylsiloxane (APPS). The polymers are synthesized by varying the siloxane loading to 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, and 40 wt%, respectively. Thermal, mechanical, rheological, and dielectric properties of these polymers have been evaluated with respect to siloxane loading. The polymers showed glass transition temperature of 107–203°C and tensile strength at break of 24–75 MPa depending on siloxane loading. The elongation break of the polymers ranges from 24 to 144% depending on siloxane loading. The amounts of char residue in the polymers have been correlated with incorporated siloxane in the polymer by NMR techniques. The polymers showed very low water absorption and dielectric constant as low as 2.43 when the siloxane loading is 40 wt%. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Alkyl-modified siloxanes as pseudostationary phases for electrokinetic chromatography

Anionic siloxane polymers with novel linker arm structures have been synthesized and characterized with respect to their performance and selectivity as pseudophases for electrokinetic chromatography. The linker arm between the siloxane backbone and the sulfonate head group is shorter and does not have the tertiary amine structure found in the siloxane pseudophases studied previously. This change in the linker arm structure and chemistry has dramatic effects on the chemical selectivity of the pseudophases. Linear solvation energy relationship (LSER) studies show that the greatest contributor to the difference in selectivity is that the new polymers are not as nonpolar as those previously studied. This result indicates that siloxane polymers are not by their nature more nonpolar or hydrophobic than other pseudophases. The LSER studies also demonstrate that siloxane pseudophases have a strong tendency to accept hydrogen bonds that cannot be attributed to the presence of the tertiary amine in the linker arm.     

Some rheological properties of highly crosslinked polysiloxanes

Seven crosslinked polydimethylsiloxanes were prepared from carboxyl-terminated siloxane oligomers of different average lengths and a trifunctional imine. The 10-sec torsion modulus was measured as a function of temperature, and compression-deflection data were obtained on swollen specimens. Polymer-solvent interaction parameters were calculated from equilibrium swelling ratios and modulus data. The plots of modulus versus temperature show two distinct transitions for all the crosslinked polymers. The low-temperature transition corresponds to the siloxane chains, whereas the high-temperature transition should be attributed to the portion of the network chain derived from the crosslinking agent and the organic part of the oligosiloxane. On shortening the siloxane blocks, both transitions shift to successively higher temperatures and higher modulus levels. However, the siloxane transition temperature shows only a limited rise even when the average block length becomes quite small. The low siloxane polymers seem to exhibit two swelling maxima, each corresponding to one of the constituents. The studied materials from nonrandom copolymeric structures typical of block polymers. Such microphase systems can probably be expected in crosslinked polymers whenever the crosslinking agent participates significantly in the network chains and its compatibility with the flexible chains species is poor.     

An anionic siloxane polymer as a pseudostationary phase for electrokinetic chromatography

A novel polymeric pseudostationary phase for electrokinetic chromatography is introduced and characterized. Siloxane polymers are of interest for this application because of the range of chemistries that could be developed based on these backbones, and because successful development of siloxane polymers would make it possible to employ much of the stationary phase chemistry developed in the past thirty years. A commercially available water-soluble siloxane with a hydroxy-terminated alkyl group was converted to the sulfate derivative. This siloxane polymer is water-soluble, effectively eliminating this limitation associated with siloxane polymers. When employed as a pseudostationary phase, this compound provided rapid, efficient, and selective separations. The electrophoretic mobility of the polymer was less than sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and poly(sodium 10-undecenylsulfate), providing a compressed migration time range, which is the main limiting factor for this polymer. The chemical selectivity of the siloxane sulfate was somewhat different than SDS micelles. The siloxane was employed in buffers modified with a large amount of acetonitrile to separate a number of polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons. The addition of acetonitrile caused an apparent discontinuity in the electrophoretic mobility of the polymer, which may indicate a change in the structure with increasing organic solvent content.     

Polycondensation of trialkoxysilane monomers accelerated by neighboring group participation of urea moiety

(Phenylaminomethyl)trimethoxysilane (= α‐amino‐siloxane) was treated with various isocyanates to obtain a series of siloxanes having urea moieties (= α‐urea‐siloxanes). Their hydrolysis‐condensation reactions were monitored with ²⁹Si NMR, to reveal that they exhibited much higher reactivity than a urea‐siloxane derived from [3‐(phenylamino)propyl]trimethoxysilane (= γ‐amino‐siloxane). When compared with the derivation of the γ‐amino‐siloxane into the corresponding γ‐urea‐siloxane, those of the α‐amino‐siloxane into the corresponding α‐urea‐siloxanes were accompanied by much larger shifts of the ²⁹Si NMR signal toward a higher magnetic field. These results suggested that the location of the urea moiety in the α‐urea‐siloxanes was favorable to its intramolecular coordination to the silicon atom to exhibit its “neighboring group participation” that promoted transformation of the tetravalent silicon center into the pentavalent one, which is more electrophilic to make the siloxanes more susceptive to undergo the hydrolysis and condensation reactions. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Liquid chromatography coupled to nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy for the identification of isoflavone glucoside malonates in T. pratense L. leaves

Previous studies revealed that the main isoflavones in extracts of leaves of T. pratense L. are biochanin A and formononetin, their 7-O-glucosides, and two glucoside malonate isomers of each of them. Since LC-MS(/MS) did not provide sufficient information to distinguish the glucoside malonate isomers, in the present paper LC-NMR as well as off-line two-dimensional NMR were used to obtain further structural information. Matrix solid-phase dispersion (MSPD) was applied to obtain sufficiently high analyte concentrations to perform LC-NMR. Stop-flow reversed-phase LC-NMR was performed using a gradient of deuterated water and deuterated acetonitrile. Offline COSY and NOESY experiments were carried out to determine the positions of the glucose moiety on the flavonoid aglycone, and of the malonate moiety on the glucose. Based on the fragmentation patterns in MS/MS and the NMR spectra, the two formononetin glucoside malonate isomers were identified as 7-O-beta-D-glucoside 6"-O-malonate and 7-O-beta-D-glucoside 4"-O-malonate; i.e. they only differ in the substitution position of the malonate group on the glucoside ring. The biochanin A glucoside malonate isomers, however, have quite different structures. The main and later eluting isomer is biochanin A 7-O-beta-D-glucoside 6"-O-malonate, and the minor and earlier eluting isomer is 5-hydroxy-7-methoxyisoflavone 4'-O-beta-D-glucoside 4"-O-malonate: the positions of the methoxy group and the glucoside 6"-O-malonate group on the flavonoid skeleton are interchanged.     

Alkyl modified anionic siloxanes as pseudostationary phases for electrokinetic chromatography. I. Synthesis and characterization

Anionic water soluble siloxane polymers have been synthesized and characterized for electrokinetic chromatography. Siloxane polymers are of interest in electrokinetic chromatography because of the wide variety of chemistries that can be developed based on these backbones, including much of the stationary phase chemistry developed in the last 30 years. The siloxanes in this study have a sulfonate functional group. The siloxanes have different length alkyl chains (C8, C12, C18) attached to the backbone in differing densities. The methylene selectivity generally increases with increasing alkyl chain length and with increasing alkyl chain density. The electrophoretic mobility appears to pass through a maximum as more alkyl chain is added to the siloxane backbone. The efficiency also would seem to pass through a maximum as more alkyl chain is added. The chemical selectivities of the siloxane polymers are very different from sodium dodecyl sulfate but are similar to each other.     

Solubility of carbon dioxide,methane, and propane in silicone polymers: Effect of polymer side chains

The solubility of methane, carbon dioxide, and propane in five silicone polymers was measured at 10.0, 35.0 and 55.0°C and at pressures up to 26 atm. The polymers were poly(dimethyl siloxane), poly(methyl propyl siloxane), poly(methyl octyl siloxane), poly(trifluoropropyl methyl siloxane), and poly(phenyl methyl siloxane). At a given temperature and pressure, the solubility of the penetrant gases decreases with increasing bulkiness of the polymer side chains, and with decreasing critical temperature of the penetrant. The solubility of carbon dioxide in poly(trifluoropropyl methyl siloxane) appears to be anomalously high, possibly because of specific penetrant/polymer interactions. The temperature and pressure dependence of the solubility coefficients for the penetrant/polymer systems studied are described, and different methods of correlating these coefficients are compared.     

Liquid crystal polymers—VI.: Synthesis and properties of main chain thermotropic polyesters with disiloxane spacers

New thermotropic, liquid crystalline polymers were synthesized, and their thermal properties and the characteristics of their mesophases were studied by differential scanning calorimetry, by use of a hot stage on a polarizing microscope, and by small-angle light scattering. The polymers had an aromatic ester triad mesogenic group and a flexible siloxane spacer in the main chain. Equimolar copolymers containing both siloxane and decamethylene spacers were also prepared and characterized. All the polymers formed nematic phases, and the thermodynamic characteristics of their nematic-to-isotropic phase transitions could be explained on the basis of their structural features.     

Synthesis, structures and membrane properties of siloxane-imide co-polymers produced by aqueous polymerization

We report for the first time, the synthesis of siloxane-imide co-polymers by the reaction of mixtures of 1,4-bis(aminobutyl)tetramethyldisiloxane (ABTMDS) and 1,3-bis(4-aminophenoxy)benzene (TPE-R) with bisphenol A diphthalic anhydride (BPADA) using water as the polymerization solvent. A series of co-polymers were prepared incorporating 10, 20, 40 and 100 mol% of ABTMDS with the aromatic diamine TPE-R as the co-monomer. The synthesized co-polymers showed number average molecular weights in the range of 25,000–60,000. As expected the glass transition temperatures (T_gs) and moduli of the polymers were found to decrease with increasing amounts of the siloxane monomer and the homo-polymer containing only the siloxane diamine showing the lowest T_g (60 °C). The resulting polymers could be solution cast into strong and flexible membranes which showed significant decreases in water absorption and moisture permeability compared to the control polymer without siloxane groups. The polymers were characterized by FTIR, ¹³C and ¹H NMR, GPC, DSC and mechanical properties and structural comparisons were made with similar polymers made by standard solvent synthesis methods. Also cross-linked polymers were prepared by the reaction of ABTMDS with the aromatic homo-polymer control and their membrane properties were compared to those of the water synthesized siloxane co-polymers with a similar siloxane content.     

Assessment of techniques for DOSY NMR data processing

Diffusion-ordered spectroscopy (DOSY) NMR is based on a pulse-field gradient spin-echo NMR experiment, in which components experience diffusion. Consequently, the signal of each component decays with different diffusion rates as the gradient strength increases, constructing a bilinear NMR data set of a mixture. By calculating the diffusion coefficient for each component, it is possible to obtain a two-dimensional NMR spectrum: one dimension is for the conventional chemical shift and the other for the diffusion coefficient. The most interesting point is that this two-dimensional NMR allows non-invasive “chromatography” to obtain the pure spectrum for each component, providing a possible alternative for LC-NMR that is more expensive and time-consuming. Potential applications of DOSY NMR include identification of the components and impurities in complex mixtures, such as body fluids, or reaction mixtures, and technical or commercial products, e.g. comprising polymers or surfactants.

Data processing is the most important step to interpret DOSY NMR. Single channel methods and multivariate methods have been proposed for the data processing but all of them have difficulties when applied to real-world cases. The big challenge appears when dealing with more complex samples, e.g. components with small differences in diffusion coefficients, or severely overlapping in the chemical shift dimension. Two single channel methods, including SPLMOD and continuous diffusion coefficient (CONTIN), and two multivariate methods, called direct exponential curve resolution algorithm (DECRA) and multivariate curve resolution (MCR), are critically evaluated by simulated and real DOSY data sets. The assessments in this paper indicate the possible improvement of the DOSY data processing by applying iterative principal component analysis (IPCA) followed by MCR-alternating least square (MCR-ALS).     

LC-NMR coupling technology: recent advancements and applications in natural products analysis

An overview of recent advances in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) coupled with separation technologies and their application in natural product analysis is given and discussed. The different modes of LC-NMR operation are described, as well as how technical improvements assist in establishing LC-NMR as an important tool in the analysis of plant-derived compounds. On-flow, stopped-flow and loop-storage procedures are mentioned, together with the new LC-SPE-NMR configuration. The implementation of mass spectrometry in LC-NMR is also useful on account of the molecular weight and fragmentation information that it provides, especially when new plant species are studied. Cryogenic technology and capillary LC-NMR are the other important recent developments. Since the plant kingdom is endless in producing potential drug candidates, development and optimization of LC-NMR techniques convert the study of natural products to a less-time-consuming task, speeding up identification.

Synthesis and properties of polyoxyarylenesiloxanes

High molecular weight polymers containing oligosiloxanes in the backbone were made by the reaction of aromatic diols with α,ω-diaminosiloxane homologs. The glass transition temperatures dropped by 30–40°C in a homologous series with each siloxane added. The thermal stability also suffered when increasing the number of siloxane groups. The polymers all displayed high % char measurements and one polymer (disiloxane) tested had a V₀ rating by UL-94 testing. The trisiloxane-containing polymer had a high percent elongation at break (>300%). All the polymers tested were fairly susceptible to hydrolysis. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Identification of impurities in acarbose by using an integrated liquid chromatography-nuclear magnetic resonance and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry approach

The usefulness of applying an integrated LC-NMR and LC-MS approach to acarbose bulk drug impurity profiling is demonstrated. LC-MS and LC-NMR methodologies were employed for the online separation and structural elucidation of a final drug product. Combining data provided by the stop-flow LC-NMR and LC-MS experiments made it possible to identify the main components present in the acarbose sample. Spectral analysis revealed that A and B were known impurities while C was an unknown compound. LC-MS and LC-NMR analyses revealed that C was a pentasaccharide differing from the acarbose in number and nature of sugar subunits in the molecule. It was subsequently isolated and its structure was confirmed by the offline 1- and 2-D NMR experiments, and atom assignment was made.     

Synthesis and characterization of novel anionic siloxane polymers as pseudostationary phases for electrokinetic chromatography

Four novel siloxane polymeric pseudostationary phases with three different ionic head groups have been synthesized and characterized for electrokinetic chromatography. Siloxane polymers are of interest in this application because of the wide range of chemistries that can be developed based on these backbones, including much of the chromatographic stationary phase chemistry developed in the last thirty years. All four of the siloxanes studied were synthesized by modification of a single methylhydrosiloxane polymer with highly acidic anionic functionalities. One of the siloxanes had both ionic groups and alkane chains attached to the siloxane backbone. The electrophoretic mobilities varied from being somewhat less than sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) to being much greater than SDS. The siloxanes substituted with ionic groups at all of the silicon sites showed significant nonequilibrium band broadening, severely limiting the efficiencies of these polymers. Substitution of 20% of the silicon sites with an alkyl group improved the efficiency of the separations and the peak symmetry. The chemical selectivities of the siloxane polymers are very different from SDS, but are similar to each other.     

Poly (dodecacarborane-siloxanes)

The need for elastomeric polymers which will maintain their elastic properties at high temperatures has led to a wide interest in inorganic-based polymers [l]. The development of carborane-siloxane polymers in the early 1960s was a breakthrough in the search for a high-temperature elastomer. Incorporation of a carborane moiety into the siloxane backbone significantly enhanced the overall thermal stability [2].
