Controlled/“living” atom transfer radical polymerization of methyl methacrylate in the synthesis of triblock copolymers from a poly(oxyethylene) macroinitiator

Atom transfer radical polymerization of methyl methacrylate initiated by a poly(oxyethylene) macroinitiator by the esterification of PEG 1500 with 2-chloro propionyl chloride was synthesized. These polymerization proceeds both in bulk and solution with a quantitative initiation efficiency, leading to A-B-A triblock copolymers. The macroinitiators and their block copolymers were characterized by FT-IR, FT-NMR and GPC analyses. In bulk polymerization, the kinetic study showed that the relationship between ln[M]₀/[M] vs time was linear showing that there is a constant concentration of active species throughout the polymerization and follow the first order kinetics with respect to monomer. Moreover, the experimental molecular weight of the block copolymers increased linearly with the monomer conversion and the polydispersity index remained between 1.3 and 1.5 throughout the polymerization. No formation of homo poly(methyl methacrylate) could also be detected, and all this confirms that the bulk polymerization proceeds in a controlled/“living” manner.

The catalytic role of oxide in the thermooxidative degradation of poly(methyl methacrylate)-TiO2 nanocomposites

The influence of TiO₂ nanoparticles on the thermal degradation of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) was investigated by TGA. The studied materials were characterized by Py-GC-MS, TEM, SEM, TGA, DSC and TGA-MS. The PMMA-TiO₂ nanocomposites were prepared by melt blending with different (5, 10, 15 and 20 wt% TiO₂) loadings. According to TGA results and to the activation energy (determined by the model-free isoconversional method of Vyazovkin), the incorporation of 5 wt% of TiO₂ nanoparticles into PMMA stabilizes it by more than 40 °C. However, for higher loading contents, a catalytic effect on the thermal decomposition was observed which increased with the oxide content. The results obtained by Py-GC-MS showed clearly that TiO₂ increases the formation of methanol, methacrylic acid and propanoic acid methyl ester during the degradation of PMMA. This catalytic effect could be explained through the interaction of the methoxy group of the methacrylate function with the hydroxyl groups present at the surface of the oxide particles.     

Spectroelectrochemical Properties and Catalytic Activity in Cyclohexane Oxidation of the Hybrid Zr/Hf-Phthalocyaninate-Capped Nickel(II) and Iron(II) tris-Pyridineoximates and Their Precursors

The in situ spectroelectrochemical cyclic voltammetric studies of the antimony-monocapped nickel(II) and iron(II) tris-pyridineoximates with a labile triethylantimony cross-linking group and Zr(IV)/Hf(IV) phthalocyaninate complexes were performed in order to understand the nature of the redox events in the molecules of heterodinuclear zirconium(IV) and hafnium(IV) phthalocyaninate-capped derivatives. Electronic structures of their 1e-oxidized and 1e-electron-reduced forms were experimentally studied by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy and UV−vis−near-IR spectroelectrochemical experiments and supported by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The investigated hybrid molecular systems that combine a transition metal (pseudo)clathrochelate and a Zr/Hf-phthalocyaninate moiety exhibit quite rich redox activity both in the cathodic and in the anodic region. These binuclear compounds and their precursors were tested as potential catalysts in oxidation reactions of cyclohexane and the results are discussed.     

Production of nanoparticles of methyl methacrylate and butyl methacrylate copolymers by microemulsion polymerization in the presence of maleic acid terminated poly(N-acetylethylenimine) macromonomers as cosurfactant

In this study, MMA/BMA copolymer nanoparticles were synthesized in oil-in-water microemulsions that were stabilized by sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) and initiated by potassium persulphate KPS. Maleic acid terminated poly(N-acetylethylenimine) (PNAEI) with two different chain lengths was also included in the recipe, as a cosurfactant and a comonomer. FTIR and ¹H-NMR proved incorporation of the macromonomer in the structure. High polymerization yields were achieved upto 98%. The viscosity average molecular weights of the copolymers were in the range of 2.77-5.50 × 10⁵. The glass transition temperatures of these copolymers were between 50.0 and 63.9 °C. The average diameter of nanoparticles were in range of 40-96 nm. It was possible to produce nanoparticles smaller than 100 nm and with narrower size distributions by using much lower concentrations of SDS by including the macromonomers in the microemulsion polymerization recipe.     

Activity coefficients at infinite dilution measurements for organic solutes and water in the ionic liquid 4-methyl-N-butyl-pyridinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)-imide

The activity coefficients at infinite dilution, for 36 solutes: alkanes, cycloalkanes, alkenes, alkynes, aromatic hydrocarbons, alcohols, thiophene, tetrahydrofuran, ethers, acetone, and water in the ionic liquid 4-methyl-N-butyl-pyridinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)-imide [bmPY][NTf₂] were determined by gas–liquid chromatography at temperatures from 298.15 K to 368.15 K. The partial molar excess enthalpies at infinite dilution values were calculated from the experimental values obtained over the temperature range. The selectivity for different separation problems were calculated from the and compared to the literature values for other ionic liquids, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone (NMP) and sulfolane.     

Activity coefficients at infinite dilution measurements for organic solutes in the ionic liquid 1-hexyl-3-methyl-imidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)-imide using g.l.c. at T = (298.15, 313.15, and 333.15) K

The activity coefficients at infinite dilution, (where 1 refers to the solute and 3 to the solvent), for both polar and non-polar solutes (alkanes, alk-1-enes, alk-1-ynes, cycloalkanes, benzene, carbon tetrachloride, and methanol) in the ionic liquid 1-hexyl-3-methyl-imidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)-imide [HMIM][Tf₂N] at three temperatures T = (298.15, 313.15, and 333.15) K have been determined by gas-liquid chromatography. The interaction at the gas-liquid interface between the solutes and the solvent was examined by varying solvent liquid loading on the column. Corrected retention values, taking carrier gas and solute imperfections into account, were determined and used to calculate the activity coefficients at infinite dilution. The results have been used to predict the solvent potential for the hexane/benzene separation from calculated selectivity values. The results were compared to for similar systems found in the literature in an attempt to understand the effect of the nature of the cation and anion has on solute-solvent interactions.The partial molar excess enthalpies at infinite dilution values were calculated from the experimental values obtained over the temperature range.     

Enhanced Catalytic Activity and Unexpected Products from the Oxidation of Cyclohexene by Organic Nanoparticles of 5,10,15,20‐Tetrakis‐(2,3,4,5,6‐pentafluorophenyl)porphyrinatoiron(III) in Water by Using O2

The catalytic oxidation of alkenes by most iron porphyrins using a variety of oxygen sources, but generally not dioxygen, yields the epoxide with minor quantities of other products. The turnover numbers for these catalysts are modest, ranging from a few hundred to a few thousand depending on the porphyrin structure, axial ligands, and other reaction conditions. Halogenation of substituents increases the activity of the metalloporphyrin catalyst and/or makes it more robust to oxidative degradation. Oxidation of cyclohexene by 5,10,15,20‐tetrakis‐(2,3,4,5,6‐pentafluorophenyl)porphyrinato iron(III), ([Fe^III(tppf₂₀)]) and H₂O₂ is typical of the latter: the epoxide is 99 % of the product and turnover numbers are about 350. 1 – 4 Herein, we report that dynamic organic nanoparticles (ONPs) of [Fe^III(tppf₂₀)] with a diameter of 10 nm, formed by host–guest solvent methods, catalytically oxidize cyclohexene with O₂ to yield only 2‐cyclohexene‐1‐one and 2‐cyclohexene‐1‐ol with approximately 10‐fold greater turnover numbers compared to the non‐aggregated metalloporphyrin in acetonitrile/methanol. These ONPs facilitate a greener reaction because the reaction solvent is 89 % water and O₂ is the oxidant in place of synthetic oxygen sources. This reactivity is unexpected because the metalloporphyrins are in close proximity and oxidative degradation of the catalyst should be enhanced, thus causing a significant decrease in catalytic turnovers. The allylic products suggest a different oxidative mechanism compared to that of the solvated metalloporphyrins. These results illustrate the unique properties of some ONPs relative to the component molecules or those attached to supports.     

Avoiding Self‐Poisoning: A Key Feature for the High Activity of Au/Mg(OH)2 Catalysts in Continuous Low‐Temperature CO Oxidation

Au/Mg(OH)₂ catalysts have been reported to be far more active in the catalytic low‐temperature CO oxidation (below 0 °C) than the thoroughly investigated Au/TiO₂ catalysts. Based on kinetic and in situ infrared spectroscopy (DRIFTS) measurements, we demonstrate that the comparatively weak interaction of Au/Mg(OH)₂ with CO₂ formed during the low‐temperature reaction is the main reason for the superior catalyst performance. This feature enables rapid product desorption and hence continuous CO oxidation at temperatures well below 0 °C. At these temperatures, Au/TiO₂ also catalyzes CO₂ formation, but does not allow for CO₂ desorption, which results in self‐poisoning. At higher temperatures (above 0 °C), however, CO₂ formation is rate‐limiting, which results in a much higher activity for Au/TiO₂ under these reaction conditions.
