Some Recent Results on the Synthesis of Certain Aromatic Heterocyclic Polymers

Abstract

Continued research on poly(bisbenzimidazobenzophenanthrolines) from one-step condensation of 1, 4, 5, 8-naphthalene tetracarboxylic (NTA) acid and 3, 3′-diaminobenzidene in polyphosphoric acid (PPA) has led to good-quality fibers with outstanding resistance to high temperatures and Fade-O-Meter aging. The condensation of 4, 5-diamino-1, 8-naphthalene dicarboxylic acid derivatives produces low molecular weight polyperimidines which have good stability. The polyimide from condensation of 1, 1′, 5, 5′-diphenyldianhydride is insoluble in all solvents tried and shows moderate thermal stability. The completely soluble ladder polymer from condensation of 1, 4, 5, 8-naphthalene tetracarboxylic acid with 1,2,4,5-tetraamino benzene in polyphosphoric acid has been obtained in high molecular weight (intrinsic viscosities in methane sulfonic acid at 30°C of over 5 dl/g).     

Potassium Fluoride Promoted Reaction of 3-Acylsubsti-Tuted 2H-1-Benzopyran-2-Ones with Acid Anhydrides. An Improved Method for the Synthesis of 4-(2-Oxoalkyl)-2H-Chroman-2-Ones. Part III1

The reaction of 3-acylsubstituted 2H-1-benzo-pyran-2-ones 1, 5 and 11a-c with acid anhydrides in the presence of potassium fluoride (KF)/molecular sieves 4A gives the 4-(2-oxoalkyl)-2-oxochromans 2, 6 and 12a-c as the main products. Also the 3-carboxylic acid derivatives, such as esters and N,N-dialkylamides, of 2H-1-benzopyran-2-one (11d-g) react with isobutyric acid anhydride in the presence of KF/molecular sieves 4A to give the corresponding 2-oxochroman-4-acetic acid derivatives.

Investigation of molecular interactions in the complex formation of tartaric acid derivatives with di(2-ethylhexyl) phosphoric acid

The molecular interactions in the complex formation of two tartaric acid derivatives with di(2-ethylhexyl) phosphoric acid are investigated. The complex formation with a 1:1 stoichiometry between tartaric acid derivatives and D2EHPA can be obtained through UV-Vis titration, NMR chemical shifts and molecular dynamic simulations. Furthermore, the differences of the two complexes on the binding constants and strength of hydrogen bonds can also be determined. Such research will ideally provide insight into ways of regulating the complex forming properties of tartaric acid derivatives for composing or syn- thesizing new chiral resolving agents.     

Acid–Base Interactions in the Dichloroacetic Acid–Ethyl Acetate System according to IR Spectroscopic Data

The method of multiple total internal reflection infrared spectroscopy (MTIRIRS) is used to study ion–molecular interactions in the system dichloroacetic acid–ethyl acetate in the range of concentrations from pure acid to pure base at 30°C. Depending on the ratio of components in the solution, molecular complexes with acid : base ratios of 1 : 1 or 2 : 1 are formed in the solutions. In the case of excess acid, base is not protonated and species with a strong symmetric hydrogen bond are not formed. It is shown that the absorption coefficient near 2000 cm^–1 can be used to judge the type of the complex formed and the strength of a hydrogen bond in molecular complexes.     

Improved method for large-scale purification of brain gangliosides by Q-sepharose column chromatography. Immunochemical detection of C-series polysialogangliosides in adult bovine brains

A new chromatographic method for separation of bovine brain gangliosides has been developed using Q-Sepharose. Gangliosides were separated based not only on their sialic acid numbers but also on the sialic acid molecular species and chain lengths of the skeletal oligosaccharide portions. The following results indicate that this column chromatography has practical advantages in separating mixtures of gangliosides, especially positional isomers and molecular species with N-acetyl- or N-glycolylneuraminic acid. (1) the loading capacity of Q-Sepharose for gangliosides was very high; (2) most major gangliosides such as GM1, GD1a, GD1b, GT1b and GQ1b were isolated in a single step; (3) these major gangliosides were clearly separated from gangliosides containing, N-glycolylneuraminic acid when examined using Hanganutziu-Deicher antibody; (4) polysialogangliosides that have four or more sialic acid residues were isolated efficiently. It was shown by the combination of Q-Sepharose column chromatography with thin-layer chromatography/enzyme immunostaining that adult bovine brains possess C-series polysialogangliosides as minor components which are known as embryonic molecules in avian and mammalian brains.

Tuning the CD spectrum and optical rotation value of a new binaphthalene molecule with two spiropyran units: mimicking the function of a molecular "AND" logic gate and a new chiral molecular switch

With the view to developing new chiral molecular switches and logic gates, a new binaphthalene molecule with two spiropyran units (1) was synthesized and characterized. Absorption and 1H NMR spectral studies of 1 after reaction with acid/base indicate acidichromism can occur to compound 1. The synergistic actions of acid and UV light irradiation result in a remarkable change for the CD spectrum of the relatively dilute solution of 1, mimicking the behavior of a chiral "AND" gate, since the "ouput" is the CD signal. Furthermore, the optical rotation value of the relatively concentrated solution of 1 can be reversibly tuned after sequential reactions with acid and base, and thus a chiral molecular switch with nondestructive "output" signal is realized. The present results not only add a new example of chiral molecular switch with nondestructive readout but also provide a chiral "AND" gate based on the axial chiral binaphthalene to which switchable units are linked.

Moreover, the electronic properties such as highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO), lowest unoccupied orbital (LUMO) energy and molecular densities have been investigated.     

Vapor-pressure osmometric study of the molecular weight and aggregation tendency of a reference-soil fulvic acid

The molecular weight and aggregation tendency of a reference-soil fulvic acid in Armadale horizon Bh were determined by vapor-pressure osmometry using tetrahydrofuran and water as solvents. With tetrahydrofuran, number-average molecular weight values of 767 ± 34 and 699 ± 8 daltons were obtained from two separate sets of measurements. Two sets of measurements with water also yielded values within this range (754 ± 70 daltons) provided that the fulvic acid concentration in water did not exceed 7 mg ml^?1; at higher concentrations (9.1–13.7 mg ml^?1) a number-average molecular weight of 956 ± 25 daltons was resolved, providing evidence of molecular aggregation. Extension of these studies to 80% neutralized fulvic acid showed that a sizeable fraction of the sodium counter ion is not osmotically active.     

Solvation states of HCl in mixed ether:acid crystals: a computational study

Acid solvation states are investigated in the recently discovered mixed ether:acid crystalline solids. The solids are simulated using on-the-fly molecular dynamics as implemented in the density functional code QUICKSTEP employing Gaussian basis sets. The solids are shown to display a remarkably broad range of acid solvation states, depending on the ether:acid ratio, including proton sharing in the 1:1 case, proton transfer to the ether in 1:2, and perturbed molecular acid in 1:6. The observed variation of the infrared spectra with the composition is accounted for qualitatively with the help of the calculations.     

Design and synthesis of chiral single-armed molecular tweezers derived fromα-hyodeoxycholic acid

Products and mechanisms of the reaction of oleic acid with ozone and nitrate radical

The heterogeneous reactions of deposited, millimeter-sized oleic acid droplets with ozone and nitrate radicals are studied. Attenuated total reflectance infrared spectroscopy (ATR-IR), gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) are used for product identification and quantification. The condensed-phase products of the ozonolysis of oleic acid droplets are 1-nonanal (30 +/- 3% carbon yield), 9-oxononanoic acid (14 +/- 2%), nonanoic acid (7 +/- 1%), octanoic acid (1 +/- 0.2%), azelaic acid (6 +/- 3%), and unidentified products. The infrared spectra show that a major fraction of the unidentified products contain an ester group. Additionally, the mass spectra show that at least some of the unidentified products have molecular weights greater than 1000 amu, which implicates a polymerization reaction. The observed steps of 172 amu (9-oxononanoic acid) and 188 amu (azelaic acid Criegee intermediate) in the mass spectra suggest that these species are the monomers in the condensed-phase polymerization reactions. 9-Oxononanoic acid is proposed to lengthen the molecular chain via secondary ozonide formation; the azelaic acid Criegee intermediate links molecules units via ester formation (specifically, alpha-acyloxyalkyl hydroperoxides). For the reaction of oleic acid with nitrate radicals, functional groups including -ONO(2), -O(2)NO(2), and -NO(2) are observed in the infrared spectra, and high molecular weight molecules are formed. Environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM) is employed to examine the hygroscopic properties of the oleic acid droplets before and after exposure to ozone or nitrate radical. After reaction, the droplets take up water at lower relative humidities compared to the unreacted droplets. The increased hygroscopic response may indicate that the oxidative aging of atmospheric organic aerosol particles has significant impact on radiative forcing.

Interactions between polysaccharides uronic acid sequences and lipid molecules

Homogalacturonic and homoglucuronic acid sequences, with various molecular weights and corresponding monomer, were mixed with cholesterol or linolenic acid in controlled conditions (pH, temperature, concentration), then studied by ¹H and ¹³C NMR. The variation of ¹³C NMR chemical shifts showed the formation of interactions between cholesterol or linolenic acid and carbohydrate sequences depending the molecular weight. Galacturonic acid sequences revealed to be more suitable than glucuronic acid sequences to entrap cholesterol or linolenic acid molecules probably due to the difference of conformation of the two molecules.     

Supramolecular assemblies and molecular recognition of amphiphilic schiff bases with barbituric acid in organized molecular films

A bolaform Schiff base, N,N'-bis(salicylidene)-1,10-decanediamine (BSC10), has been synthesized and its interfacial hydrogen bond formation or molecular recognition with barbituric acid was investigated in comparison with that of a single chain Schiff base, 2-hydroxybenzaldehyde-octadecylamine (HBOA). It has been found that while HBOA formed a monolayer at the air/water interface, the bolaform Schiff base formed a multilayer film with ordered layer structure on water surface. When the Schiff bases were spread on the subphase containing barbituric acid, both of the Schiff bases could form hydrogen bonds with barbituric acid in situ in the spreading films. As a result, an increase of the molecular areas in the isotherms was observed. The in situ H-bonded films could be transferred onto solid substrates, and the transferred multilayer films were characterized by various methods such as UV-vis and FT-IR spectrosopies. Spectral changes were observed for the films deposited from the barbituric acid subphase, which supported the hydrogen bond formation between the Schiff bases and barbituric acid. By measuring the MS-TOF of the deposited films dissolved in CHCl3 solution, it was concluded that a 2:1 complex of HBOA with barbituric acid and a 1:2 complex of BSC10 with barbituric acid were formed. On the other hand, when the multilayer films of both Schiff bases were immersed in an aqueous solution of barbituric acid, a similar molecular recognition through the hydrogen bond occurred. A clear conformational change of the alkyl spacer in the bolaform Schiff base was observed during the complex formation with the barbituric acid.     

Manipulating Light-Induced Dynamic Macro-Movement and Static Photonic Properties within 1D Isostructural Hydrogen-Bonded Molecular Cocrystals

Smart molecular crystals with light-driven mechanical responses have received interest owing to their potential uses in molecular machines, artificial muscles, and biomimetics. However, challenges remain in control over both the dynamic photo-mechanical behaviors and static photonic properties of molecular crystals based on the same molecule. Herein, we show the construction of isostructural co-crystals allows their light-induced cracking and jumping behaviors (photosalient effect) to be controlled. Hydrogen-bonded co-crystals from 4-(1-naphthylvinyl)pyridine ( NVP ) with co-formers (tetrafluoro-4-hydroxybenzoic acid ( THA ) and tetrafluorobenzoic acid ( TA )) crystallize as isostructural crystals, but have different static and dynamic photo-mechanical behaviors. These differences are due to alternations in the orientation of NVP and hydrogen-bonding modes of the co-formers. After light activation, the 1D NVP-TA crystal splits and shears off within 1 s. For NVP-THA , its photostability and high quantum yield give novel photonic properties, including low optical waveguide loss, highly polarized anisotropy, and efficient up-conversion fluorescence.
