Six novel energetic furazans containing tetrazol-5-yl-NNO-azoxy moiety were synthesized using (cyano-NNO-azoxy)-furazans as starting compounds. The obtained compounds exhibit high enthalpies of formation (531–792 kcal kg^–1), acceptable densities (1.70–1.76 g cm^–3), good thermal stability (T_onset = 146–199 °C), and, as a result, excellent detonation performance (detonation velocities of 8.61–8.95 km s?1 and detonation pressures of 31.6–36.0 GPa).     

Novel energetic aminofurazans with a nitro-NNO-azoxy group

Synthesis and thermotropic studies of a novel series of nematogenic liquid crystals 2-(6-alkoxynaphthalen-2-yl)-5-cyanopyridines

A novel series of highly birefringent liquid crystalline compounds, 2-(6-alkoxynaphthalen-2-yl)-5-cyanopyridines (nO-NpPyCN, n?=?2–8) that have potential as commercially useful, were synthesised using a short two-step reaction with overall yields between 55% and 85%. Spectral analyses were in accordance with the expected structures. Their thermotropic behaviours were investigated by polarising optical microscopy and differential scanning calorimetry. It was found that the desymmetrised core results in a nematic phase with a broad mesophase range.

Synthesis and properties of poly(aryl ether ether ketone) copolymers with pendant methyl groups

Polyether ether ketone and polyether ether ketone copolymers were prepared by the nucleophilic substitution reaction of 4,4′-difluorobenzophenone with hydroquinone and with varying mole proportions of hydroquinone and methyl hydroquinone using sulfolane solvent in the presence of anhydrous K₂CO₃. The polymers were characterised by different physico-chemical techniques. The crystallinity of the polymers was found to decrease with increase in concentration of the methyl hydroquinone units in the polymer. Thermogravimetric studies showed that all the polymers were stable upto 430 °C with a char yield above 49% at 900 °C in N₂ atmosphere. The glass transition temperature was found to increase and the crystalline melting temperature and activation energy were found to decrease with increase in concentration of the methyl hydroquinone units in the polymer.

Thermochemical properties of three piperidine derivatives

The standard (p ^o=0.1 MPa) molar energies of combustion for the crystalline 1-benzyl-4-piperidinol and 4-piperidine-piperidine, and for the liquid 4-benzylpiperidine, were measured by static bomb calorimetry, in oxygen, at T=298.15 K. The standard molar enthalpies of sublimation or vaporization, at T=298.15 K, of these three compounds were determined by Calvet microcalorimetry. Those values were used to derive the standard molar enthalpies of formation, at T=298.15 K, in their condensed and gaseous phase, respectively.

Synthesis and characterization of polyamides and poly(amide-imide)s derived from 2,2-bis(4-aminophenoxy) benzonitrile

A series of polyamides and poly(amide-imide)s were prepared by the direct poly-condensation of 2,2-bis(4-aminophenoxy) benzonitrile [4-APBN] with aromatic dicarboxylic acids and bis(carboxyphthalimide)s in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone [NMP] with triphenyl phosphite and pyridine as condensing agents. The synthesis of 4-APBN involves a nucleophilic displacement reaction in dipolar aprotic solvent with the alkali metal salt of p-aminophenol and an activated aromatic dichloro compound. Bis(carboxyphthalimide)s were prepared by condensation of 4,4^′-diaminodiphenylsulfone, 3,3^′-diaminodiphenylsulfone, 4,4^′-diaminodiphenylether, 4,4^′-diaminodiphenylmethane, 3,3^′-diaminobenzophenone, and trimellitic anhydride at a 1:2 molar ratio. The inherent viscosities of the resulting polymers were found to be in the range of 0.31-0.93 dl/g and glass transition temperatures between 235 and 298 °C. All polymers were soluble in aprotic polar solvents such as dimethylsulfoxide and NMP. The results of thermogravimetry revealed that all the polymers showed no significant weight loss before 400 °C. Wide-angle X-ray diffractograms revealed that all polymers were found to be amorphous except for the polyamide derived from isophthalic acid and polyamide-imides derived from diaminodiphenylether and diaminobenzophenone based bis(carboxyphthalimide)s.     

The standard enthalpy of formation of silver pivalate

The standard enthalpy of combustion of crystalline silver pivalate, (CH₃)₃CC(O)OAg (AgPiv), was determined in an isoperibolic calorimeter with a self-sealing steel bomb, Δ_c H ⁰ (AgPiv, cr)= −2786.9±5.6 kJ mol⁻¹.

Using the enthalpy of sublimation, measured earlier, the enthalpy of formation of gaseous dimer was obtained: Δ_f H ⁰(Ag₂Piv₂,g)= −787±14 kJ mol⁻¹. The enthalpy of reaction (CH₃)₃CC(O)OAg(cr)=Ag(cr)+(CH₃)₃CC(O)O^.(g) was estimated, Δ_r H ⁰=202 kJ mol⁻¹.     

Low-temperature heat capacities and standard molar enthalpy of formation of aspirin

Molar heat capacities (C _p,m) of aspirin were precisely measured with a small sample precision automated adiabatic calorimeter over the temperature range from 78 to 383 K. No phase transition was observed in this temperature region. The polynomial function of C _p,m vs. T was established in the light of the low-temperature heat capacity measurements and least square fitting method. The corresponding function is as follows: for 78 K≤T≤383 K, C _p,m/J mol^-1 K^-1=19.086X ⁴+15.951X ³-5.2548X ²+90.192X+176.65, [X=(T-230.50/152.5)]. The thermodynamic functions on the base of the reference temperature of 298.15 K, {ΔH _T -ΔH _298.15} and {S _T-S _298.15}, were derived. Combustion energy of aspirin (Δ_c U _m) was determined by static bomb combustion calorimeter. Enthalpy of combustion (Δ_c H ^o _m) and enthalpy of formation (Δ_f H ^o _m) were derived through Δ_c U _m as - (3945.26±2.63) kJ mol^-1 and - (736.41±1.30) kJ mol^-1, respectively.

Synthesis of POSS–polyurethane hybrids using octakis(m‐isoprenyl‐α,α′‐dimethylbenzylisocyanato dimethylsiloxy) octasilsesquioxane (Q8M8TMI) as a crosslinking agent

A series of polyurethane hybrid networks have been synthesized using octakis(m‐isoprenyl‐α,α′‐dimethylbenzylisocyanato dimethylsiloxy) octasilsesquioxane (Q₈M₈^TMI) as a crosslinking agent. The formation of the urethane linkages within the polyurethane hybrids was confirmed by photoacoustic FTIR spectroscopy. The TGA and DSC studies demonstrated that the incorporation of the POSS crosslinking agents altered the thermal properties of the polyurethanes, and that this was dependent on the length of the polyethylene glycol chain. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
