Kinetics of the First Order Autocatalytic Decomposition Reaction of Nitrocellulose （13.86% N）

The kinetics of the first order autocatalytic decomposition reaction of nitrocellulose (NC, 13.86% N) was studied by using DSC. The results show that the DSC curve for the initial 50% of conversion degree of NC can be de scribed by the first order autocatalytic equation dy/dt =-10^16.3 exp (-181860/RT)y-10^16.7ex(-173050/RT)y(1-y) and that for the latter 50% conversion degree of NC described by the reaction equations dy/dt=-10^16.4exp(-154820/RT)y (n=1) and dy/dt=-10^16.9 exp(-155270/RT) y^2.80(n≠1).     

Darstellung und Eigenschaften von Ti-substituierten N-Heterocyclen

Preparation and Properties of Ti-substituted N-Heterocycles The compounds (x = 2 to 6) have been prepared by transamination of Ti(NMe₂)₄ with the heterocyclic amines and have been characterised by elemental analyses and ¹H NMR and IR spectroscopy.

MALDI/FTMS中碰撞衰减机理对准确质量校正的影响

Collisional　damping　affects　the　relationship　between　ion　mass　and　effective　cyclotron　frequency　in　Fourier transform mass spectrometry. The exact mass calibration equation（m/z=A/f＋（mneutral/m^^＋mneutral）k＋B/f（f＋（mneutral/m^^＋mneutralk））was therefore derived from the characteristic equation of system model, force=m（dv/dt）=qE-qv×B0-ξv,a frictional damping force）, in which k is amended by the shift of observed frequency of matrix ion or other known ion in external calibration. The mass obtained by the amended calibration equation is therefore immune to collisional damping and space-charge effects on mass accuracy. The relative errors of ion mass measured were all less than 2×10^-6.     

The mass spectra of some chlorinated aromatic pesticidal compounds

Mass spectral studies of some chlorinated aromatic pesticidal compounds are reported. The compounds studied include substituted diphenyl derivatives of methane, ethene and methanol. The diphenylmethanes are characterized by a relatively intense peak at m/e 165. Comparison of their low voltage spectra with 9-dichloromethylfluorene indicates that this ion has a fluorenyl ion structure. The structure of the base peak (m/e 246) of the diphenylethenes was investigated by comparing competitive metastable transitions with 9-dichloromethylenefluorene and utilizing defocusing metastables. Additional studies of model compounds suggest that the m/e 246 ion is very complex and is probably comprised of a number of structures. The mass spectra of the diphenylmethanols are significantly different from the other two groups. The hydroxyl group markedly affects the fragmentation process for these compounds; the characteristic peak is presumably the chlorobenzoyl ion and is probably precursor for other fragment ions. Mass spectral correlations of pesticidal compounds of similar structure are needed to obtain enough background to facilitate interpretation of the mass spectra of their metabolites. Furthermore, such studies make feasible the identification of characteristic product ions formed by rearrangement processes during ionization of organic molecules in the gas phase. This information can be a nucleus for correlating the other significant mass spectral data of an unknown compound. Intensive studies of carbamates,¹ organophosphorus² and bridged polycyclic chlorinated pesticidal³ compounds were invaluable in identifying metabolites of the aforementioned pesticides.^4,5,6 The compounds in this Work are chlorinated aromatic pesticidal compounds which consist of a diphenylemthane, a diphenylethylene, or a diphenylmethanol structure. The compounds p,?-DDE were briefly discussed by Jorg, Houriet and Spiteller.⁷ The compounds examined are listed in Table 1. Treatment of data. The mass spectra of the pesticides are presented as bar graphs in Figs 1 to 12 It a metastable peak is observed, the metastable transition is indicated by m^* on the figures and also by (m^*) when confirmed or identified using the defocusing technique.⁸ Since the relative abundances of the metastable peaks for these compounds are very small (<0.1%) on special effort was made to establish their presence unless they wre pertinent.

Interfaces between coexisting phases in polymer mixtures: What can we learn from Monte Carlo simulations?

Symmetric binary polymer mixtures are studied by Monte Carlo simulation of the bond fluctuation model, considering both interfaces between coexisting bulk phases and interfaces confined in thin films. It is found that the critical behavior of interfacial tension and width is compatible with that of the Ising model, as expected from the universality principle. In the strong segregation limit, only qualitative but not quantitative agreement with the self-consistent field (SCF) theory is found. It is argued that the SCF theory requires but for the short chains studied (N = 32 effective monomer units per chain), the limit is only reached for close to unity. Also, the effective χ-parameter decreases in the interface. It is shown that the interfacial width w does not increase by the adsorption of block copolymers as long as their areal density is still dilute (“mushroom” regime). But a broadening of interfaces does occur for thin films confined between walls at distance D, due to fluctuations that lead to for short-range forces, in agreement with experiment.

Effect of gegen ion in cationic polymerization and copolymerization of trioxane

p-Chlorophenyldiazonium hexafluorophosphate has been reported to be a superior catalyst for cationic polymerization and copolymerization of trioxane as compared to boron trifluoride dibutyl etherate (BF₃·Bu₂O)¹. In the present investigation the effect of anions derived from elements in Group VA, AsF and SbF, has been ascertained. It has been concluded that p-chlorophenyldiazonium hexafluoroarsenate is also a superior catalyst to boron trifluoride dibutyletherate (BF₃·Bu₂O), while p-chlorophenyl-diazonium hexafluoroantimonate is inferior. Copolymers with the highest polymer yield (>95%) and molecular weight (intrinsic viscosity = 4 to 5) were obtained with Simple dependences on catalyst concentration have been observed to hold for a wide catalyst concentration range ([M]/[C]) = (1 to 20) × 10⁵: For the same relationships hold. However, the polymer yield (75%) and molecular weights (intrinsic viscosity ?1) are considerably lower while the extent of chain transfer is higher. Furthermore, the polymerization proceeds with explosive violence. The quantitative aspects resulting from polymerization, for the most part, can be interpreted in terms of the extent of dissociation of the propagating ions.     

Living cationic polymerization of 2-chloroethyl vinyl ether: Kinetics,mechanism and application to polymer synthesis

The cationic polymerization of 2-chloroethyl vinyl ether initiated by HI/weak Lewis acid (I₂ or ZnI₂) systems has been studied from both a kinetic-mechanistic and a synthetic viewpoint. At low temperature and in toluene as solvent, the polymerization proceeds via a living process and the kinetic order with respect to monomer varies according to the nature of the Lewis acid activator. This behaviour can be explained by the coordination of the Lewis acid with both the monomer and the chain-end, the latter leading to a strong activation of the -I bond towards monomer insertion. The living polymerization obtained from divinylether precursors leads to -I ended telechelics, and their transformation into dihydroxytelechelic oligomers has been performed. The chemical modification of chloroalkyl side groups by phase transfer catalysis allows the attachment of specific groups without consumption of-OH ends.

Effects of molecular weight,rubber toughening,and environment on fatigue crack propagation behavior of block amide copolymers

The Fatigue Crack Propagation (FCP) behavior of block amide copolymers is investigated as a function of molecular weight, rubber toughening as well as environmental conditions. The enhancement of FCP resistance with increasing average molecular weight is shown and correlated to features observed on the fracture surface. Particular attention is paid to hysteretic heating, measured with an infrared camera, in the crack tip zone of different average molecular weight copolymers and rubber-toughened copolymer. A FCP approach of stress-cracking in an aqueous solution of zinc chloride is proposed here. An improvement in FCP resistance as the average molecular weight increases, similar to that exhibited in normal environment, appears. The shift in da/dN values over the tested range of can be approximated by an exponential function:      

A general and efficient route to 6‐methyl‐pyrazin‐2‐yl‐amines: Alkylation of 2,6‐dichloropyrazine via malonate derivatives

We have developed a convenient two‐stage process for the synthesis of 6‐methylpyrazine‐2‐yl‐amines from commercially available materials. The procedure involves the synthesis of (6‐chloro‐pyrazin‐2‐yl)‐acetic acid via arylation of diethyl malonate and in situ hydrolysis/decarboxylation. A second decarboxylation takes place under the subsequent amination conditions allowing simple and efficient access to the intended pyrazines.     

Molecular confirmation and crystal structure of the β form of poly(ethylene oxybenzoate)

The crystal structure of the β form of poly(ethylene oxybenzoate) was analyzed by x-ray diffraction. Four nearly extended molecular chains pass through a unit cell with parameters a = 8.19 Å, b = 11.07 Å, c (fiber axis) = 19.05 Å, β = 114.8°, and the space group P2₁/n-C. The structural difference between the α and β forms is mainly due to the internal rotation angles for the virtual bond and the ? CH₂? CH₂? bond. They are essentially in trans confirmation in the β form, while the α form contains cis and gauche (? CH₂? CH₂? ) conformations.     

Poly(amidoamine)s with 2‐Dithiopyridine Side Substituents as Intermediates to Peptide–Polymer Conjugates

Cystamine, when employed as a cross‐linking agent, leads to poly(amidoamine) networks, which on reaction with 2,2′‐dithiodipyridine turn into linear poly(amidoamine)s with side dithiopyridyl groups that easily undergo exchange reactions with reduced L ‐glutathione, a model thiol‐containing biologically active peptide. The resultant products represent the first examples of soluble poly(amidoamine)–peptide conjugates in which the peptide moieties are linked to the polymer chain by S S bonds stable in blood, but cleavable inside cells.

     

Effects of Fluctuation and Segregation in the Rate Acceleration of ATRP Miniemulsion Polymerization

In the ATRP and SFRP miniemulsion polymerization, a particle size range may exist in which the polymerization rate is larger than that of the corresponding bulk polymerization. Here, MC simulations are applied to clarify the reason for the acceleration. It is shown that the statistical variation of the trapping agent concentration (fluctuation effect) dominates the acceleration for good living conditions, while the segregation effect is important when the bimolecular termination is significant. Even for the segregation‐dominated conditions, the polymerization rate cannot be predicted accurately without accounting for the fluctuation effect.

Durch Nachbargruppenbeteiligung induzierte (1,2)-Chlorwasserstoff-Eliminierung aus ionisiertem 2-(β-Chloräthyl)- benzoesäuremethylester

By using deuterium labelled compounds and collisional activation spectra the mechanism of the unusually intensive HCl elimination from 2-(β-chloroalkyl)benzoic acid methyl ester as well as the structure of the product ion have been elucidated. It can be shown that the structure of the stable ion (lifetime τ～10?5 s) is best represented by 2-vinyl benzoic acid methyl ester whereas the reactive ion (lifetime τ<10^?6 s) at least partially rearranges to a cyclic ion. The hydrogen chloride elimination from 2-(β-chloroalkyl)benzoic acid is apparently a simple 1,2 process. A closer examination reveals that the reaction represents a further example of an unusual neighbouring group participation of the ester function.
