New pyrophosphate analogues: a facile access to N-(O-alkyl-sulfamoyl)phosphoramidic acids via a simple and quantitative reaction of N-(O-alkylsulfamoyl)trimethylphospha-λ-azene with bromotrimethylsilane and water

A new strategy to prepare pyrophosphate analogues through selective and quantitative cleavage of N-(O-alkylsulfamoyl)trialkylphospha-λ⁵-azene esters (R-O-SO₂-NP(OR′)₃) has been developed. Using pure bromotrimethylsilane, N-(O-alkyl-sulfamoyl)tristrimethylsilylphospha-λ⁵-azenes (R-O-SO₂-NP(OSiMe₃)₃) have been easily obtained as intermediates. N-(O-Alkyl-sulfamoyl)phosphoramidic acids (R-O-SO₂-NH-P(O)(OH)₂) have been formed quantitatively by hydrolysis of the silylated intermediates.     

Graft copolymers of natural rubber and poly(dimethyl(acryloyloxymethyl)phosphonate) (NR-g-PDMAMP) or poly(dimethyl(methacryloyloxyethyl)phosphonate) (NR-g-PDMMEP) from photopolymerization in latex medium

Graft copolymers of natural rubber and poly(dimethyl(acryloyloxymethyl)phosphonate) (NR-g-PDMAMP), and natural rubber and poly(dimethyl(methacryloyloxyethyl)phosphonate) (NR-g-PDMMEP), were prepared in latex medium via a “grafting from” methodology based on the photopolymerization of dimethyl(acryloyloxymethyl)phosphonate (DMAMP) and dimethyl(methacryloyloxyethyl) phosphonate (DMMEP), respectively, used as phosphorus-containing monomers. The grafting polymerization was initiated from N,N-diethyldithiocarbamate groups previously bound in side position of the rubber chains. The effects of monomer concentration on monomer conversion and grafting rate were investigated, showing that conversion and grafting rate increased with increasing monomer concentration and reaction time. Highest conversions and grafting rates were obtained with a molar ratio [DMAMP]/[initiating units] = 7 for a reaction time of 180 min. Calculation of the graft average length () from ¹H NMR spectra of the synthesized graft copolymers showed values were in the range of 9-73. Visualizations of NR-g-PDMAMP and NR-g-PDMMEP latices by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) showed that they exhibit core-shell morphologies. Degradation of NR-g-PDMAMP and NR-g-PDMMEP occurred in two steps: decomposition of dimethylphosphonate-functionalized grafts took place prior to the second step corresponding to the decomposition of NR backbone, but the degradation temperature of this last step was higher than that of pure NR.     

Hydrothermal synthesis,crystal structure and magnetic properties of a copper(II) phosphonate

The treatment of 3-ammonium-1-hydroxypropylidene-1,1′-bisphosphonate (H₇ahdp) and 4,4′-bipy with CuCl₂?·?2H₂O resulted in a metal phosphonate [Cu(H₅ahdp)?·?H₂O] _n . Its crystal structure has been characterized by single X-ray crystallography. Although there is no 4,4′-bipy in the lattice structure, it plays a very important role in forming the one-dimensional chain of the polymer. Hydrogen bonds link the chains into a 3D network. The dinuclear secondary building units are observed in the compound. The determination of variable-temperature magnetic susceptibilities (5?～?300?K) shows weak intrachain antiferromagnetic coupling between copper(II) centers. The magnetic data were fitted to the appropriate equations derived from the Hamiltonian H?=??2JS ₁ S ₂, giving the parameter J?=??25.78?cm^?1. Its thermal properties were also investigated.

Synthesis, structures and properties of hydrolytic Al(III) aggregates and Fe(III) analogues formed with iminodiacetate-based chelating ligands

Both Al(III) and Fe(III) display a rich hydrolytic chemistry which can lead to the formation of a variety of aggregated oxo and hydroxo-bridged aggregates. The formation, structures and properties of these species are important in defining the availability and reactivity of these species in aqueous environments such as are found in biological systems and the environment. Although there are many similarities in the behaviour of the Al³⁺ and Fe³⁺ ions there are also some important differences between these two metal ions which can lead to a divergence in their chemistries. These considerations are discussed and illustrated with reference to 16 Al(III) and Fe(III) compounds, which have been crystallographically characterised, and which form in aqueous environments in the presence of chelating ligands containing the iminodiacetate functionality.     

Synthesis,characterization and cytotoxic investigations of novel bis(indole) analogues besides antimicrobial study

Two series of novel bis(indole) analogues viz., N′-((5-substituted-1H-indol-3-yl)methylene)-n-(1H-indol-3-yl)alkanehydrazides (7a–f) and N′-((5-substituted-1-(3-methylbut-2-enyl)-1H-indol-3-yl)methylene)-n-(1H-indol-3-yl)acetohydrazide (8a–f) were synthesized and characterized by spectral analysis. The target molecules were screened for their antimicrobial, anticancer activities and structure and activity relationship (SAR) was investigated. Compounds 7a, 7c and 8a were found to be active in antimicrobial screening. Anticancer screening reveals that Compound 7c was active against HeLa cell line with an IC₅₀ of 43.1 μM and compound 7d was found to be interesting candidate with an IC₅₀ of 26.0 and 30.2 μM against Colo-205 and Hep G2 cell lines respectively.     

One-pot,one-step,and selective terpolymerization of ethylene oxide,propylene oxide,and COS to copoly(thioether)s with tunable thermal properties

Facile construction of sulfur-rich polymers using readily available raw chemicals is an area aggressively pursued but challenging. Herein we use common feedstocks of ethylene oxide (EO), propylene oxide (PO), and carbonyl sulfide (COS) to synthesize copoly(thioether)s which are traditionally produced from unpleasant and difficult to store episulfides. In this protocol, the EO/COS coupling selectively generates a pure poly(ethylene sulfide) (PES) with melting temperature (T_m) values up to 172°C and high yields up to 98%. The EO/PO/COS terpolymerization leads to the incorporation of soft poly(propylene sulfide) (PPS) and hard PES segments together, affording a random PES-co-PPS copoly(thioether) with the complete consumption of EO and PO. Additionally, by simply varying the EO/PO feeding ratio, the obtained copoly(thioether)s possess tunable thermal properties, T_m values in the range of 76–144°C, and excellent solubility. These copolymerizations are conducted in one-pot/one-step at industrially favored reaction temperatures of 100–120°C using catalysts of common organic bases, suggesting a facile and practical manner. Especially, the copoly(thioether) exhibits high refractive indices up to 1.68 owing to its high sulfur content, suggesting a broad application prospect in optical materials.

A three‐dimensional ZnII coordination network based on 5,5′‐methylenebis(2,4,6‐trimethylisophthalic acid) and 2,7‐bis(1H‐imidazol‐1‐yl)fluorene: synthesis,structure and luminescence properties

In recent years, coordination polymers constructed from multidentate carboxylate ligands and N‐containing ligands have attracted much attention since these ligands can adopt a rich variety of coordination modes which can lead to crystalline products with intriguing structures and interesting properties. A new coordination polymer, namely poly[[diaqua[μ‐2,7‐bis(1H‐imidazol‐1‐yl)fluorene‐κ²N³:N^3′][μ‐5,5′‐methylenebis(3‐carboxy‐2,4,6‐trimethylbenzoato)‐κ²O¹:O^1′]zinc(II)] hemihydrate], {[Zn(C₂₃H₂₂O₈)(C₁₉H₁₄N₄)(H₂O)₂]·0.5H₂O}_n, 1 , was prepared by the self‐assembly of Zn(NO₃)₂·6H₂O with 5,5′‐methylenebis(2,4,6‐trimethylisophthalic acid) (H₄BTMIPA) and 2,7‐bis(1H‐imidazol‐1‐yl)fluorene (BIF) under solvothermal conditions. The structure of 1 was determined by elemental analysis, single‐crystal X‐ray crystallography, powder X‐ray diffraction, IR spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis. Each Zn^II ion is six‐coordinated by two O atoms from two H₂BTMIPA^2? ligands, by two N atoms from two BIF ligands and by two water molecules, forming a distorted octahedral ZnN₂O₄ coordination geometry. Adjacent Zn^II ions are linked by H₂BTMIPA^2? ligands and BIF ligands, leading to the formation of a two‐dimensional (2D) (4,4)‐ sql network, and intermolecular hydrogen‐bonding interactions connect the 2D layer structure into the three‐dimensional (3D) supramolecular structure. Each 2D layer contains two kinds of helices with the same direction, which are opposite in adjacent layers. The luminescence properties of complex 1 in the solid state have also been investigated.     

Crystallization behavior and electroactive properties of PVDF,P(VDF-TrFE) and their blend films

PVDF, poly(vinylidene fluoride), as a semi-crystalline polymer, has interesting electroactive properties but usual melt and solution processing techniques result in its thermodynamically favored non-polar α-phase. By comparison, poly(vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene) P(VDF-TrFE), PT for short, directly crystallizes in the polar β-phase under the same conditions as PVDF. In this study, blend thin films comprising PVDF and P(VDF-TrFE) were prepared by solvent casting method. The difference in the crystallization behavior is comprehensively investigated between the polymers: PVDF, P(VDF-TrFE), and the resulting blend films. It is found that replacement of the fluoride atom in TrFE monomer induces a strong steric hindrance that may alter the crystallization process to become more favorable for nucleation of the PVDF β-phase. To figure out the effect of TrFE content on the crystallization behavior and electroactive properties, films with different blend ratios of PVDF and P(VDF-TrFE) were prepared. We found that the PVDF films exhibit higher crystallization activation energy (ΔE) as PT content increases. The atomic force microscopy (AFM) in the piezoresponse force microscopy (PFM) mode illustrated that P5T5 films with equal contents of PVDF and P(VDF-TrFE) induced the highest d₃₃ values.     

In depth investigation of the synthesis, structural, and spectroscopic characterization of a high pH binary Co(II)-N,N-bis(phosphonomethyl)glycine species. Association with aqueous speciation studies of binary Co(II)-(carboxy)phosphonate systems

Cobalt is an abundant metal ion present in the abiotic and biological world. The chemical reactivity of Co(II) is exemplified through complex interactions with variable molecular mass ligands, including amino acids, peptides, variable nature organic ligands, and/or phospho(nate)-derivatives thereof. Poised to gain insight into the chemical reactivity of Co(II) toward the family of mixed (carboxy)phosphonate-containing ligands, pH-specific aqueous reactions were carried out between Co(II) and N,N-bis(phosphonomethyl)-glycine (NTA2P), leading to a new pH-structural variant species (NH₄)₃[Co(C₄H₆O₈NP₂)(H₂O)₂]·4H₂O (1) at pH 8. Compound 1 was characterized analytically, spectroscopically (FT-IR, UV-Vis, EPR), and magnetically. X-ray crystallography reveals a mononuclear complex of Co(II) in an NO₅ octahedral environment. The solid state magnetic and EPR data on 1 suggest the presence of a high-spin Co(II) in a distorted octahedral geometry, with a ground state of an effective spin S = 1/2. The solution UV-Vis and EPR data suggest retention of the integrity of 1, consistent with the magnetization measurements. Detailed aqueous speciation studies on binary Co(II)-carboxylate (NTA) and all Co(II)-(carboxy)phosphonate (NTA_xP; x = 1-3) systems reveal the aqueous distributions of all species involved in the respective systems and project a mononuclear species not unlike that of 1 in the Co(II)-NTA2P system. The structural and chemical attributes of the title complex reflect the (a) pH-dependent chemical reactivity in the binary Co(II)-NTA2P system, and (b) structure-activity correlations in the aqueous media linking both high and low pH-structural variants. To this end, fundamental structural properties influence the reactivity of Co(II) toward phosphonate and mixed carboxyphosphonate ligands and are ultimately exemplified as a function of phosphonate-containing moieties in NTA derivatives. The variably configured species in such binary Co(II)-ligand systems define the pH dependence and nature of interactions between the two reagents, and could serve further as precursors in the design and discovery of new Co(II)-organophosphonate materials of specific structural lattice, spectroscopic, and magnetic properties.     

Modular synthesis of bis(monoacylglycero)phosphate for convenient access to analogues bearing hydrocarbon and perdeuterated acyl chains of varying length

Bis(monoacylglycero)phosphate is an important phospholipid that controls the structure of late endosomes as well as biological activities that occur there. The study of this lipid is complicated by the fact that acyl migrations are known to generate different regioisomers. Herein, we describe a modular synthesis of 3,3′-BMP derivatives that allows for the incorporation of a range of different acyl chains at a late stage. This approach was exploited to produce eight BMP analogues bearing normal saturated and perdeuterated acyl chains of varying length.

Immiscibility,upper critical solution temperature,and miscibility in blends of poly(vinyl ether)s with polyacrylics: Effects of pendant groups

Various phase behavior of blends of poly(vinyl ether)s with homologous acrylic polymers (polymethacrylates or polyacrylates) were examined using differential scanning calorimetry, optical microscopy (OM), and Fourier‐transformed infrared spectroscopy. Effects of varying the pendant groups of either of constituent polymers on the phase behavior of the blends were analyzed. A series of interestingly different phase behavior in the blends has been revealed in that as the pendant group in the acrylic polymer series gets longer, polymethacrylate/poly(vinyl methyl ether) (PVME) blends exhibit immiscibility, upper critical solution temperature (UCST), and miscibility, respectively. This study found that the true phase behavior of poly(propyl methacrylate)/PVME [and poly(isopropyl methacrylate)/PVME)] blend systems, though immiscible at ambient, actually displayed a rare UCST upon heating to higher temperatures. Similarly, as the methyl pendant group in PVE is lengthened to ethyl (i.e., PVME replaced by PVEE), phase behavior of its blends with series of polymethacrylates or polyacrylates changes correspondingly. Analyses and quantitative comparisons on four series of blends of PVE/acrylic polymer were performed to thoroughly understand the effects of pendant groups in either polyethers (PVE's) or acrylic polymers on the phase behavior of the blends of these two constituents. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Co(II)-promoted transformation of diethyl(quinolin-2-ylmethyl)phosphonate to quinoline-2-carboxylate (2-qca): Synthetic,structural and magnetic studies of [Co(2-qca)2(EtOH)2]

The interaction of the diethyl(quinolin-2-ylmethyl)phosphonate (2-qmpe) ligand with CoCl₂ · 2H₂O unexpectedly leads to the formation of a compound with the formula [Co(2-qca)₂(EtOH)₂] (2-qca = quinoline-2-carboxylate). This compound is a product of the oxidative cleavage of the C–P bond in 2-qmpe and the formation of the 2-qca ligand. The title compound was characterized by infrared, ligand field, EPR spectroscopy and low temperature magnetic (1.8–300 K) studies. Particularly, the crystal and molecular structures were determined by the X-ray diffraction. The CoN₂O₄ chromophore shows an elongated octahedron geometry, resulting from the two didentate N,O-bonded chelate ligands and two ethanol molecules – quinolil nitrogen atoms are located in axial positions and oxygen atoms are positioned in the basal plane. The crystal packing is due to hydrogen bonds and π–π stacking interactions, which give rise to a three-dimensional (3D) polymeric network. The magnetic properties reflect the molecular character of the compound, with a very weak magnetic exchange interaction. The moments are enhanced due to an important orbital contribution via spin–orbit coupling.

Thermosensitive behavior of poly(ethylene glycol)/poly(2‐(N,N‐dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate) double hydrophilic block copolymers

The poly(ethylene glycol)/poly(2‐(N,N‐dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate) (PEG/PDMAEMA) double hydrophilic block copolymers were synthesized by atom transfer radical polymerization using mPEG‐Br or Br‐PEG‐Br as macroinitiators. The narrow molecular weight distribution of PEG/PDMAEMA block copolymers was identified by gel permeation chromatography results. The thermosensitivity of PEG/PDMAEMA block copolymers in aqueous solution was revealed to depend significantly on pH, ionic strength, chain structure, and concentration of the block copolymers. By optimizing these factors, the cloud point temperature of PEG/PDMAEMA block copolymers can be limited within body temperature range (30–37 °C), which suggests that PEG/PDMAEMA block copolymers could be a good candidate for drug delivery systems. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
