Silicon‐modified surfactants and wetting: II. Temperature‐dependent spreading behaviour of oligoethylene glycol derivatives of heptamethyltrisiloxane

The temperature‐dependent spreading performance of defined trisiloxane surfactants of the general formula [(CH₃)₃SiO]₂CH₃Si‐­(CH₂)₃(OCH₂CH₂)_3–9OCH₃ and Silwet L77 on a trimethylsilylated silicon‐wafer surface has been investigated. At 6 °C the tetraethylene glycol derivative showed the highest initial spreading rate. At 40 °C the octaethylene glycol derivative was the fastest spreader. It is shown that spreading behaviour and phase behaviour are closely related. The highest initial spreading rates were found for solutions in the two‐phase state (2Φ) closely above the liquid–liquid insolubility boundary. Copyright © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Silicon‐modified surfactants and wetting: IV. Spreading behaviour of trisiloxane surfactants on energetically different solid surfaces

The spreading behaviour of defined trisiloxane surfactants of general formula [(CH₃)₃SiO]₂ CH₃Si(CH₂)₃(OCH₂CH₂) _nOCH₃ (n = 3–9) on five different solid surfaces has been investigated. Maximum spreading areas and rates are found on non‐polar or slightly polar surfaces of 30 to 40 mN m⁻¹ surface energy. Extremely low or high surface energies substantially reduce the spreading rates. On non‐polar surfaces rapid spreading is observed for 1 wt % solutions of the relatively short‐chained penta‐ and hexa‐ethylene glycol derivatives. On slightly polar surfaces dilute 0.1 wt % solutions of longer‐chained derivatives spread faster. This spreading pattern shift coincides with a change of the phase behaviour. Solutions of Silwet L77 do not prefer one specific surface, since 1 wt % solutions abruptly stop spreading after a few seconds and the maximum spreading rates are found for 0.1 wt % solutions. Therefore, Silwet L77 essentially belongs among the long‐chained derivatives. Copyright © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Silicon‐modified surfactants and wetting: V. The spreading behaviour of trimethylsilane surfactants on energetically different solid surfaces

The spreading behaviour of defined trimethylsilane‐based surfactants of general formula (CH₃)₃Si(CH₂)₆(OCH₂CH₂) _nOCH₃, n = 2–6, on five different solid surfaces at 21 °C has been investigated. Compounds bearing short diethylene and triethylene glycol hydrophiles do not spread. For the longer‐chained tetraethylene to hexaethylene glycol derivatives, the ability to spread depends on the surface energy. Rapid spreading is restricted to the slightly polar surface of 40 mN m⁻¹ surface energy. Lower or higher surface energies considerably reduce the spreading rates. The phase behaviour of the solutions substantially influences the spreading process. The dispersed systems of the tetraethylene glycol derivative spread constantly over long time intervals. The dispersions of the pentaethylene glycol analogue are very close to the temperature for a transition into the one‐phase state. A retardation of the spreading process occurs after a few seconds. Micellar solutions of the hexaethylene glycol derivative either spread very slowly or stop spreading after a few seconds. The largest spreading areas and highest initial spreading rates were found for the 0.1 wt% solutions. Copyright © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Silicon‐modified surfactants and wetting: III. The spreading behaviour of equimolar mixtures of nonionic trisiloxane surfactants on a low‐energy solid surface

The spreading behaviour of binary and ternary equimolar mixtures of siloxane surfactants of general formula [(CH₃)₃SiO]₂CH₃Si(CH₂)₃ (OCH₂CH₂) _nOCH₃, n = 3–9, has been investigated. The mixtures show a pronounced temperature dependence on the initial spreading rate. Mixtures imitating the average oligoethylene glycol chain length n = 5 are the fastest spreaders at 15 °C. At 23 °C and 40 °C these mixtures spread fastest sucking n = 6 and n = 8, respectively. For a given average chain length an increasing length difference between the components of the binary mixtures reduces the initial spreading rate. Nevertheless, substantial differences between the phase transition temperature T_c from the lamellar phase (L_α) into the two‐phase state (2Φ) and the actual spreading temperature are tolerated. A clear relation between phase transition temperature T_c and initial spreading rate does not exist. Copyright © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Characterization of synthetic and commercial trisiloxane surfactant materials

The organosilicone surfactant Silwet L‐77^® (L‐77), used as an agrochemical adjuvant, is a mixture comprised predominantly of [(CH₃)₃SiO]₂? (CH₃)Si? (CH₂)₃? (OCH₂CH₂)_n? OCH₃ oligomers (n = 3–16, average n ≈ 7.5). The commercially available L‐77 mixture was purified by reversed‐phase high‐performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to obtain individual trisiloxane surfactant components. Pure oligomers (n = 3, 6 and 9) were also synthesized. Synthesis was achieved by hydrosilylation of monomeric ethoxylate monomethyl ether starting reagents. Pure hexa‐ and nona‐ethylene glycols were produced by condensation of smaller oligomers. Atmospheric‐pressure ionization mass spectrometry (MS) methods were used to characterize fully the commercial L‐77 product and synthesized or isolated components. The application of Fourier‐transform ion cyclotron resonance MS and online HPLC–electrospray ionization MS techniques to the analysis of this surfactant are described here. The application of these analytical techniques also enabled elucidation of the synthetic by‐products present in the commercial formulation. In addition, physico‐chemical properties specific to agrochemical uses, such as droplet spread areas on plant foliage and surface tension for the different oligomer solutions, are also reported.

A Surface Rheological Study of Silwet L-77 Surfactant at the Air/Water Interface

The dilational viscoelastic properties of Silwet L-77, a trisiloxane surfactant of the general formula (Me₃SiO)₂SiMe(CH₂)₃(OCH₂CH₂)_7.5OH, at the air/water interface were investigated. Aqueous solutions of Silwet L-77 were spread onto a pendant drop and the dynamic surface tensions were measured by means of axisymmetric drop shape analysis. The surface dilatational elasticity, viscosity, and phase angle of the adsorption monolayer were also determined using the oscillating drop technique. The influences of frequency and concentration on the surface dilational properties were expounded. It is shown that the surface dilational modulus and elastic modulus increased with the increase of frequency, the viscous modulus was complex, while the phase angle decreased with the increase of frequency. Surface dilational modulus, elastic modulus, and viscous modulus passed through the maximum with the increase of bulk concentration and the phase angle increased with the increase of concentration.     

Synthesis,spectroscopic and X‐ray single‐crystal structure study of bis(2‐methoxy‐ethanolato)‐bis(8‐quinolinato)titanium(IV)

Reaction of Ti(OCH₂CH₂OR)₄ (R?CH₃ and C₂H₅) with 8‐hydroxyquinoline in benzene at room temperature resulted in the formation of Ti(C₉H₆NO)₂(OCH₂CH₂OR)₂, characterized by IR, ¹H‐NMR, UV and mass spectroscopies. The molecular structure of Ti(C₉H₆NO)₂(OCH₂CH₂OCH₃)₂ has been determined by single‐crystal X‐ray structure analysis. The geometry at titanium is a distorted octahedron, with the nitrogen atoms of quinolinate occupying the trans position with respect to oxygens of the 2‐methoxyethoxy groups. The prepared quinolinate derivatives of titanium alkoxides are very stable towards hydrolysis and harsh conditions are required for hydrolytic cleavage. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

The products of the reaction of the hydroxyl radical with 2-ethoxyethyl acetate

The gas-phase reaction products of the OH radical with 2-ethoxyethyl acetate (EEA, CH₃C(O)OCH₂CH₂OCH₂CH₃) have been investigated. 1,2-Ethanediol acetate formate (EAF, CH₃C(O)OCH₂CH₂OC(O)H) and ethyl formate (EF, HC(O)OCH₂CH₃) were identified as the two main products. A third product, ethylene glycol diacetate (EGD, CH₃C(O)OCH₂CH₂OC(O)CH₃), was also observed. EAF, EF, and EGD formation yields were determined to be 0.37 ± 0.03 and 0.328 ± 0.018 and 0.040 ± 0.005, respectively. Proposed reaction mechanisms are discussed and compared with these data. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Binuclear dichlorido(η6‐p‐cymene)ruthenium(II) complexes with bis(nicotinate)‐ and bis(isonicotinate)‐polyethylene glycol ester ligands

Neutral binuclear ruthenium complexes 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 of the general formula [{RuCl₂(η⁶‐p‐cym)}₂ μ‐(N^∩N)] (N^∩N = bis(nicotinate)‐ and bis(isonicotinate)‐polyethylene glycol esters: (3‐py)COO(CH₂CH₂O)_nCO(3‐py) and (4‐py)COO(CH₂CH₂O)_nCO(4‐py), n =1–4), as well as mononuclear [RuCl₂(η⁶‐p‐cym)((3‐py)COO(CH₂CH₂OCH₃)‐κN)], complex 9 , were synthesized and characterized using elemental analysis and electrospray ionization high‐resolution mass spectrometry, infrared, ¹H NMR and ¹³C NMR spectroscopies. Stability of the binuclear complexes in the presence of dimethylsulfoxide was studied. Furthermore, formation of a cationic complex containing bridging pyridine‐based bidentate ligand was monitored using ¹H NMR spectroscopy. Ligand precursors, polyethylene glycol esters of nicotinic ( L1 · 2HCl– L4 · 2HCl and L9 · HCl) and isonicotinic acid dihydrochlorides ( L5 · 2HCl– L8 · 2HCl), binuclear ruthenium(II) complexes 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 and mononuclear complex 9 were tested for in vitro cytotoxicity against 518A2 (melanoma), 8505C (anaplastic thyroid cancer), A253 (head and neck tumour), MCF‐7 (breast tumour) and SW480 (colon carcinoma) cell lines.

FT‐IR kinetic and product study of the OH radical and Cl‐atom–initiated oxidation of dibasic esters

Using a relative kinetic technique, rate coefficients have been measured, at 296 ± 2 K and 740 Torr total pressure of synthetic air, for the gas‐phase reaction of OH radicals with the dibasic esters dimethyl succinate [CH₃OC(O)CH₂CH₂C(O)OCH₃], dimethyl glutarate [CH₃OC(O)CH₂CH₂CH₂C(O)OCH₃], and dimethyl adipate [CH₃OC(O)CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂C(O)OCH₃]. The rate coefficients obtained were (in units of cm³ molecule^?1 s^?1): dimethyl succinate (1.89 ± 0.26) × 10^?12; dimethyl glutarate (2.13 ± 0.28) × 10^?12; and dimethyl adipate (3.64 ± 0.66) × 10^?12. Rate coefficients have been also measured for the reaction of chlorine atoms with the three dibasic esters; the rate coefficients obtained were (in units of cm³ molecule^?1 s^?1): dimethyl succinate (6.79 ± 0.93) × 10^?12; dimethyl glutarate (1.90 ± 0.33) × 10^?11; and dimethyl adipate (6.08 ± 0.86) × 10^?11. Dibasic esters are industrial solvents, and their increased use will lead to their possible release into the atmosphere, where they may contribute to the formation of photochemical air pollution in urban and regional areas. Consequently, the products formed from the oxidation of dimethyl succinate have been investigated in a 405‐L Pyrex glass reactor using Cl‐atom–initiated oxidation as a surrogate for the OH radical. The products observed using in situ Fourier transform infrared (FT‐IR) absorption spectroscopy and their fractional molar yields were: succinic formic anhydride (0.341 ± 0.068), monomethyl succinate (0.447 ± 0.111), carbon monoxide (0.307 ± 0.061), dimethyl oxaloacetate (0.176 ± 0.044), and methoxy formylperoxynitrate (0.032–0.084). These products account for 82.4 ± 16.4% C of the total reaction products. Although there are large uncertainties in the quantification of monomethyl succinate and dimethyl oxaloacetate, the product study allows the elucidation of an oxidation mechanism for dimethyl succinate. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Synthesis and characterization of ferrocenylalkoxygermatranes and crystal structures of FcCH2OGe (OCH2CH2)3N and FcCH(CH3)OGe(OCH2CH2)3N1

Germatranes bearing a ferrocenylalkoxyl moiety have been obtained by the reaction of HOGe(OCH₂CH₂)₃N with various ferrocenyl alcohols. A convenient new synthesis method of FcCH₂OGe(OCH₂CH₂)₃N was reported. FcCH₂OGe(OCH₂CH₂)₃N was prepared in 93% yield when FcCH₂OH reacted with HOGe(OCH₂CH₂)₃N in chloroform at room temperature in the presence of molecular sieves (3 Å) as a dehydrating agent. All compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, ¹H NMR and IR spectroscopy. The molecular structures of FcCH₂OGe(OCH₂CH₂)₃N and FcCH(CH₃)OGe(OCH₂CH₂)₃N have been determined by X‐ray diffraction. The antitumor activities of FcCH₂OGe(OCH₂CH₂)₃N and p‐FcC₆H₄CH₂OGe(OCH₂CH₂)₃N were determined. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Synthesis,characterization, X‐ray crystal structure and in vitro antitumour activity of sodium bis(2‐(3′,6′,9′‐trioxadecyl)‐1,2‐dicarba‐closo‐dodecaborane‐1‐carboxylato)triphenylstannate

Sodium bis[2‐(3′,6′,9′‐trioxadecyl)‐1,2‐dicarba‐closo‐dodecaborane‐1‐carboxylato]triphenylstannate, [(CH₃OCH₂CH₂OCH₂CH₂OCH₂CH₂)‐1,2‐C₂B₁₀H₁₀‐9‐COO)₂SnPh₃]^? Na⁺, compound 1, was synthesized by the 1:1 condensation of triphenyltin(IV) hydroxide with 2‐(3′,6′,9′‐trioxadecyl)‐1,2‐dicarba‐closo‐dodecaborane‐1‐carboxylic acid and crystallized in the presence of sodium bicarbonate. Its structure was determined by spectroscopy, elemental analysis and X‐ray diffraction. The structure of 1 consists of trigonal bipyramidal [Sn(Ph)₃(L)₂]^? anions and Na⁺ cations coordinated by oxygen atoms of polyoxaalkyl chains of different stannate anions, forming cation–anion chains elongated along the c axis. Compound 1 is significantly more active in vitro against seven tumour cell lines of human origin than 5‐fluorouracil, cis‐platin, carboplatin, and previously reported organotin carboranecarboxylates, but is less active than organotin polyoxaalkylcarboxylates.

Synthesis of polyphosphazenes bearing alkoxyethoxy and trifluoroethoxy groups

The synthesis of various phosphoranimines including (CH₃OCH₂CH₂O) (CF₃CH₂O)₂P?N? Si(CH₃)₃, (CH₃OCH₂CH₂OCH₂CH₂O) (CF₃CH₂O)₂P?N? Si (CH₃)₃, (CH₃OCH₂CH₂O)₂(CF₃CH₂O) P?N? Si(CH₃)₃, and (CH₃OCH₂CH₂OCH₂CH₂O)(CF₃CH₂O) P?N? Si(CH₃)₃ via the Staudinger reaction of (CH₃)₃SiN₃ with the suitably substituted phosphite is reported. These monomers were polymerized using tetra-n-butylammonium fluoride and N-methylimidazole in various solvents at several temperatures. In situ ³¹P-NMR kinetic studies and M_n versus time studies were also performed for the monomers to understand the propagation mechanism. © 1994 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Gas-phase ion–molecule reactions in dilute mixtures of dimethyl ether in krypton. Bimolecular and clustering reactions

The results of high-pressure variable-temperature and variable ionizing electron energy studies of gas-phase ion-molecule reactions of dimethyl ether in krypton are presented. Near the ionization threshold a series of peaks corresponding to (CH₃OCH₃)_nH⁺ (n = 1-4) clusters are observed. At higher ionizing electron energies, two new series of peaks appear, corresponding to [CH₃OCH₂]⁺(CH₃OCH₃)_n and [(CH₃)₃O]⁺ (CH₃OCH₃)_n clusters. The onium ion, [(CH₃)₃O]⁺, has been previously reported at elevated temperatures under methane chemical ionization conditions. It was suggested that the onium ion is formed by reaction of (CH₃)₂OH⁺ with CH₃OCH₃ with subsequent elimination of methanel, i.e. by fragmentation of an adduct ion. The present results strongly suggest that, under our conditions, [CH₃OCH₂]⁺ rather than thermal (CH₃)₃OH⁺, is the precursor to [(CH₃)₃O]⁺.     

Products of the gas‐phase reactions of the OH radical with n‐butyl methyl ether and 2‐isopropoxyethanol: Reactions of ROC(Ȯ) < radicals

The products of the gas‐phase reactions of the OH radical with n‐butyl methyl ether and 2‐isopropoxyethanol in the presence of NO have been investigated at 298 ± 2 K and 740 Torr total pressure of air by gas chromatography and in situ atmospheric pressure ionization tandem mass spectrometry. The products observed from n‐butyl methyl ether were methyl formate, propanal, butanal, methyl butyrate, and CH₃C(O)CH₂CH₂OCH₃ and/or CH₃CH₂C(O)CH₂OCH₃, with molar formation yields of 0.51 ± 0.11, 0.43 ± 0.06, 0.045 ± 0.010, ∼0.016, and 0.19 ± 0.04, respectively. Additional products of molecular weight 118, 149 and 165 were observed by API‐MS/MS analyses, with those of molecular weight 149 and 165 being identified as organic nitrates. The products observed and quantified from 2‐isopropoxyethanol were isopropyl formate and 2‐hydroxyethyl acetate, with molar formation yields of 0.57 ± 0.05 and 0.44 ± 0.05, respectively. For both compounds, the majority of the reaction products and reaction pathways are accounted for, and detailed reaction mechanisms are presented. The results of this product study are combined with previous literature product data to investigate the tropospheric reactions of R₁R₂C(Ȯ)OR radicals formed from ethers and glycol ethers, leading to a revised estimation method for the calculation of reaction rates of alkoxy radicals. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Heteronuclear Alkoxide Compounds Containing Copper and Alkaline Earth Metals

The tetrameric Cu(β-diketonate) alkoxide complex [Cu(thd)(OCH₂CH₂OCH₃)]₄ (thd = 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-3,5-heptanedionate; 1a ) reacts with the alkaline earth metal alkoxides [M(OCH₂CH₂OCH₃)₂] (M = Ca, 2a ; M = Sr, 2b ; M = Ba, 2c ) to yield the heteronuclear compounds [Cu₂M(thd)₃(OCH₂CH₂OCH₃)₃] (M = Ca, 6a ; M = Sr, 6b ). These heterometallic complexes were also obtained in the reaction of 1a and the mixed Ca and Sr complexes of β-diketonate-alkoxide [M_x(thd)_y(OCH₂CH₂OCH₃)_2x?y] (M = Ca, x = 7, y = 6, 3 ; M = Sr, x = 5, y = 3, 4 ), respectively. In comparison, 1a reacts with the analogous [Ba(thd)(OCH₂CH₂OCH₃)] ( 5a ) to yield a[Ba₂Cu₂(thd)₄(OCH₃)₄(HOCH₂CH₂OCH₃)₂] species ( 8a .) The in situ prepared mixed-ligand Ba Compounds [Ba(thd)OR)] (R = CH₂CH₂OCH₂CH₂OCH₃, ( 5b ); R = CH₂CH₂CH₂OCH₃ ( 5c ) react with the corresponding Cu complexes [Cu(thd)(OR)]_n (R = CH₂CH₂OCH₂CH₂OCH₃), n = 4 ( 1b ); R = CH₂CH₂OCH₂CH₂OCH₃ ( 8b ); R = CH₂CH₂CH₂OCH₃ ( 8c ). However, [Cu(hfd)(OCH₂CH₂OCH₃)]₄ (hfd = 1,1,1,5,5,5,-hexafluoroacetylacetonate; 1e ) is converted in the presence of 2a–c to the simple metathesis products [M(hfd)₂] (M = Ca, Sr, Ba) and [Cu(OCH₂CH₂OCH₃)₂]. Crystalline [Ba₂Cu₂(hfd)₂(thd)₂(OCH₂CH₂CH₂OCH₃)₄(HOCH₂CH₂CH₂OCH₃)₂] ( 9 ) was isolated from the reaction of 1a with in situ prepared [Ba((hfd)OCH₂CH₂CH₂OCH₃)] ( 5d ) in 2-, methoxyethanol. X-Ray crystallographic structure determinations are reported for 6a , 6b , 8b , and 8c .     

Alternativ-Liganden. XXX [1] Neue Tripod-Liganden XM' (OCH2PMe2)n(CH2CH2PMe2)3−n (M' = Si; Ge; n = 0–3) für Käfigstrukturen

Alternative Ligands. XXX Novel Tripod Ligands XM' (OCH₂PMe₂)_n(CH₂CH₂PMe₂)_3?n (M' = Si, Ge; n = 0–3) for Cage Structures Attempts to prepare new tripod ligands XSi(OCH₂PMe₂)₃ [X = CF₃ ( 15 ), C₆F₅ ( 16 ), NMe₂ ( 17 ), Cl ( 18 ), F ( 19 ), H ( 20 ), OEt ( 21 ), OMe ( 22 )] prove to be unsuccessful in spite of using different pathways, because the groups X undergo following reactions giving insoluble solids (polyadducts) or form inseparable mixtures, e. g. (RO)_nSi(OCH₂PMe₂)_4?n (R = Me, Et). In many cases Si(OCH₂PMe₂)₄ ( 13 ) can be isolated from the reaction mixture. The syntheses of the ligands XSi(CH₂CH₂PMe₂)₃ [X = NMe₂ ( 6 ), Cl ( 7 ), F ( 8 ), OMe ( 9 ), Vi ( 12 )], Si(OCH₂PMe₂)₄ ( 13 ) und Me₃GeOCH₂PMe₂ ( 14 ) are successful. The compounds MeSi(OCH₂PMe₂)₂CH₂CH₂NMe₂ ( 10 ) and MeSi(OCH₂PMe₂)₂CH₂CH₂P(CF₃)₂ ( 11 ) with different donor groups are obtained in good yields. The preparative program includes the synthesis of the known representatives MeSi(OCH₂PMe₃)₃ ( 1 ), MeSi(OCH₂PMe₂)₂CH₂CH₂PMe₂ ( 2 ), MeSi(OCH₂PMe₂)(CH₂CH₂PMe₂)₂ ( 3 ), MeSi(CH₂CH₂PMe₂)₃ ( 4 ) and MeGe(OCH₂PMe₂)₃ ( 5 ). Important preparative steps are the substitution of M'Cl (M' = Si, Ge) by Me₂PCH₂O groups and the photochemically induced or base catalyzed addition of HNMe₂, HPMe₂ or HP(CF₃)₂ to SiVi functions. The novel compounds are characterized by analytical and spectroscopic (IR, NMR, MS) investigations.
