2-{[3-(Triethoxysilyl)propyl]amino}pyridine and Derivatives

2-{[3-(Triethoxysilyl)propyl]amino}pyridine is synthesized by condensation of [3-(triethoxysilyl)propyl]amine with 2-aminopyridine. Its peretherification with triethanolamine leads to 2-[(3-silatranylpropyl)amino]pyridine and hydrolytic copolycondensation with tetraethoxysilane to cross-linked organosilicon copolymer {SiO₂·2[O1.5Si(CH₂)₃NHC₆H₄N]} _n . The latter in the medium of hydrochloric acid behaves as an anionite in respect of anionic chlorocomplexes of gold(III), platinum(IV), palladium(II) and rhodiumIII).     

Vibrational spectroscopic studies of (3-mercaptopropyl)trimethoxylsilane sol-gel and its coating

Organosilane sol-gels have been prepared under different conditions from mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane (MPTMS) and mercaptopropyltriethoxysilane (MPTES). These sol-gels were applied for the thin film coating on aluminum. Vibrational spectroscopy has been employed to trace and to study the proceeding of the sol-gel formation and the curing of the coated films on Al. Based on the group frequencies as well as their spectral behavior under different conditions, vibrational assignments have been made for most of the observed bands. Surface enhanced Raman scattering has revealed the chemical adsorption of MPTMS sol-gel on silver particles. Recorded reflection and absorption infrared (RAIR) spectra of coated tiles cured at different temperatures have indicated that surface reaction may occur at high temperature. The anticorrosion characters of the coated metals have been evaluated with the measured electrochemical data. Results from cyclic voltammographs have indicated that each layer of sol-gel coating would reduce the redox current across the electrode/electrolyte solution interface. Tafel plots have shown that the anodic current of the coated electrode decreases significantly and the corrosion potentials shift to the positive side.     

Condensation reaction of 3-(methacryloxypropyl)-trimethoxysilane and diisobutylsilanediol in non-hydrolytic sol-gel process

The condensation reaction of 3-methacryloxypropyl-trimethoxysilane (MPTS) and diisobutylsilanediol (DIBSD) in a non-hydrolytic sol-gel process was investigated in terms of the reaction time and the catalyst amount for fabrication of inorganic-organic hybrid materials. The degree of condensation, which was characterized by ²⁹Si NMR, ¹H NMR and Abbe refractometry, increases with increased the reaction time and greater catalyst amount. However, a the large catalyst amount breaks the methacryl group during the condensation reaction. Thus, the reaction time and the catalyst amount were optimized to synthesize the condensed methacryl oligosiloxanes.     

Highly efficient non-biofouling coating of zwitterionic polymers: poly((3-(methacryloylamino)propyl)-dimethyl(3-sulfopropyl)ammonium hydroxide)

This work describes the formation of highly efficient non-biofouling polymeric thin films of poly((3-(methacryloylamino)propyl)-dimethyl(3-sulfopropyl)ammonium hydroxide), (poly(MPDSAH)). The poly(MPDSAH) films were generated from the self-assembled monolayers terminating in an initiator of atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) by the surface-initiated ATRP of MPDSAH. The poly(MPDSAH) films on a gold surface were characterized by ellipsometry, FT-IR spectroscopy, contact angle goniometery, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The copper complexes and unpolymerized monomers trapped inside the polymer brushes were completely washed out by soaking the poly(MPDSAH)-coated substrate in water at 40 degrees C for 4 days. The amount of proteins nonspecifically adsorbed onto the poly(MPDSAH) films was evaluated by surface plasmon resonance spectroscopy: the adsorption of proteins was <0.6 ng/cm(2) on the surfaces for all the model proteins. The ability of the poly(MPDSAH) films to resist the nonspecific adsorption of proteins was comparable to that of the best known systems.     

Preparation and properties of sol-gel coating films

The present state of our knowledge on sol-gel coating films has been reviewed. A qualitative discussion is made on the limit of the film thickness which can be achieved in the sol-gel method and the factors affecting the film thickness. Considering that properties of the film are intimately related to the microstructure, types of microstructures accomplished by the sol-gel coating are introduced with examples.     

Surface finishing of enamels by sol-gel coating

Sol-gel coatings composed of SiO₂, SiO₂-TiO₂, SiO₂-ZrO₂ and SiO₂-TiO₂-ZrO₂ were prepared on different technical enamels as substrates. Thin (from 80–300 nm) and thick (up to 2 μm) films were deposited by the dip coating method. The chemical durability of the coated and uncoated enamels was tested against acidic and basic attack in accordance with DIN ISO standards. The experimental results show that the thin SiO₂ coatings increase the chemical resistance of the coated enamels against oxalic acid attack by a factor of 4 to 22 compared to the uncoated ones. Especially efficient were SiO₂ films of 1 μm thickness, based on MTEOS-TEOS solutions. SiO₂ films do not protect the enamels against NaOH attack; however, an SiO₂-ZrO₂ coating on a non-resistant low-network former enamel significantly increases its stability against this basic attack. SNMS in-depth profiles show that in this case Na, Ca and Ba diffuse from the enamel substrate into the sol-gel layer, apparently stabilizing it.     

Bioactive Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2−TiO2 composite coating prepared by sol-gel process

The sol-gel prepared titania (TiO₂) has recently been demonstrated with a promising bioactivity [1]. It forms a chemical bond with the living bone in the body, although the bonding is not very strong. The present study is intended to improve the bone-bonding ability of the titania gel. The goal is achieved by impregnating the titania with hydroxyapatite (Ca₁₀(PO₄)₆(OH)₂). The processing route includes the following steps: (1) the titania sol solution was prepared; (2) the solution was mixed with fine hydroxyapatite (HA) powders; (3) the mixture was used to produce a coating on a commercial pure titanium (c.p. Ti) or Ti6A14V plate by a dip coating technique; (4) the coating was fired at 400–600°C. The resulting coating is a composite consisting of hydroxyapatite embedded in the matrix of the titania gel. Such HA-TiO₂ composite coating is capable of inducing the hydroxyapatite precipitation from a simulated body fluid. When implanted in femurs of goat, the composite coating shows a bonding with bone. Its bone-bonding strength is twice as high as that of the pure titania gel coating. The results indicate that impregnating with hydroxyapatite is a promising way to increase the bioactivity of the titania gel.

Stereoselective synthesis of (S)-3-(methylamino)-3-((R)-pyrrolidin-3-yl)propanenitrile

(S)-3-(methylamino)-3-((R)-pyrrolidin-3-yl)propanenitrile (1) is a key intermediate in the preparation of PF-00951966, (1) a fluoroquinolone antibiotic for use against key pathogens causing community-acquired respiratory tract infections including multidrug resistant (MDR) organisms.

Spectroscopic studies of triethoxysilane sol-gel and coating process

Silica sol-gels have been prepared under different conditions using triethoxysilane (TES) as precursor. The prepared sol-gels have been used to coat aluminum for corrosion protection. Vibrational assignments have been made for most vibration bands of TES, TES sol-gel, TES sol-gel-coated aluminum and xerogel. It has been noticed that air moisture may have helped the hydrolysis of the thin coating films. Xerogels have been obtained from the sol-gel under different temperature conditions and the resulting samples have been characterized by using infrared and Raman spectroscopic methods. IR data indicate that the sol-gel process is incomplete under the ambient conditions although an aqueous condition can have slightly improved the process. Two nonequivalent silicon atoms have been identified from the collected (29)Si NMR spectra for the sol-gel, supporting the result derived from the IR data. The frequency of SiH bending vibration has been found to be more sensitive to the skeletal structure than that of the SiH stretching vibration. A higher temperature condition could favor the progression of hydrolysis and condensation. A temperature higher than 300 degrees C would cause sample decomposition without seriously damaging the silica network. From infrared intensity measurements and thermo-gravimetric analyses, the fractions of incomplete hydrolysis and condensation species have been estimated to be 4% and 3%, respectively. Electrochemical data have shown that the sol-gel coating significantly improves the corrosion protection properties of aluminum.
