Radiation-induced solid-state copolymerization of maleic anhydride and acenaphthylene

Radiation-induced solid-state copolymerization of the maleic anhydride–acenaphthylene system was carried out for the purpose of studying the solid-state polymerization of vinyl compounds in a binary system. Melting point measurement confirmed that this binary monomer system forms a eutectic mixture in the solid state. The solid-state polymerization of these monomers proceeds at maximum rate at the eutectic composition, and the polymerization products consist of a mixture of polyacenaphthylene and 1:1 maleic anhydride–acenaphthylene alternating copolymer. Since the 1:1 copolymer was obtained in solution polymerization also and maleic anhydride did not homopolymerize in solid state, it is considered that the solid-state copolymerization of maleic anhydride and acenaphthylene occurs in a liquidlike state at the boundary of the two monomer crystals.     

Solid-State 13C-NMR spectral evidence for charge transfer complex formation in aromatic diimides and dianhydrides

Solution and solid-state proton decoupled ¹³C-NMR spectra were determined on two diimides derived from 4, 4′-oxydiphthalic anhydride. Comparison of the individual diimide spectra to that of a mixture of the two diimides indicates that ordering of these materials occurs in the solid state via charge transfer complex formation. A similar study was conducted using two isomeric dianhydrides, 4, 4′-isophthaloyldiphthalic anhydride (IDPA) and 4, 4′-terephthaloyldiphthalic anhydride (TDPA). The solution spectra of these compounds are similar and are those which would be expected for these compounds. However, their solid state spectra differ from each other. The solid-state spectrum of TDPA resembles its solution spectrum, whereas, that of IDPA differs greatly from its solution spectrum and indicates charge transfer complex formation occurs with this molecule. This difference is explained in terms of the stereochemistry of the two isomeric dianhydrides.

Use of Melem as a Nucleophilic Reagent to Form the Triphthalimide C(6) N(7) (phthal)(3) -New Targets and Prospects

Melem (1), as one of the most important representatives of the tri-s-triazine compounds, can be used as a nucleophilic reagent in reactions with phthalic acid derivatives. The synthesis of 2,5,8-triphthalimido-tri-s-triazine (C(6) N(7) (phthal)(3) , 2) was investigated starting from phthalic anhydride or phthalic dichloride in various solvents, at different temperatures as well as in the solid state. NMR measurements (solution and solid state), IR spectroscopy and elemental analysis indicated the formation of a cyclic imide. Single-crystal structure analysis of a 1:1 adduct of 2 with nitromethane proved the molecular structure expected for a phthalimido-s-heptazine. DFT calculations were performed to obtain a better insight into the structural features of compound 2, especially the interaction of the carbonyl groups with the tri-s-triazine nitrogen atoms. The title compound 2 shows promising properties: it is thermally stable up to 500?°C in air and shows strong photoluminescence with a maximum emission at around 500?nm. The potential of the nucleophilic reaction of melem with other strong electrophiles provides new targets and prospects.

Greener solid state synthesis of a ternary lanthanum complex at room temperature

Wet chemical synthesis of rare-earth complexes often requires large amounts of solvents to dissolve reactants, and the use of base to neutralize acidic solution. We have explored a green alternative route that involves solid-state synthesis of ternary lanthanum complex at room temperature by using lanthanum chloride hydrate (LaCl_3?·?6H₂O), sodium p-hydroxybenzoate (PBA), and 8-hydroxyquinoline (8-hq). The structure and composition of the ternary lanthanum complex were confirmed by microanalysis, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), UV-Vis, X-ray diffraction (XRD), electron diffraction, and thermogravimetric analysis. UV-Vis and FT-IR spectra confirms coordination of lanthanum ion with two ligands and XRD results show that signals of the product are not from the three reactants, and are believed to originate from the ternary lanthanum complex prepared by solid-state reaction. Effects of reaction conditions such as molar ratios and synthetic method on the formation of ternary lanthanum complex were also investigated. The structure and composition of the ternary lanthanum complex are independent of molar ratios of reactants. Compared to the ternary lanthanum complex prepared via solution-phase synthesis, although the ternary lanthanum complex prepared by solid-state reactions has the same composition and structure, the synthesis is scalable and greener.

The reaction products were characterized by elemental analysis, X-ray diffraction, and IR studies. Metal (Zn and Cd) carbonates and 8-HQ react in 1:2 molar ratio and the reaction proceeds via surface migration of 8-HQ.     

Water-Containing Cured Resin from Inverted Emulsion of Unsaturated Polyester Based on Divalent Metal Salt of Mono(hydroxyethyl)phthalate

Inverted emulsion, i.e., water-in-oil (W/O) type emulsion, was prepared from styrene solution of unsaturated polyester obtained from Mg salt of mono(hydroxyethyl)phthalate, ethylene glycol (EG), maleic anhydride (MA), phthalic anhydride (PA), and propylene oxide (PO). The inverted emulsion was much more stable than that of blank polyester obtained from EG, MA, PA, and PO, and further than the usual inverted emulsion prepared by treating styrene solution of commercial unsaturated polyester with triethanolamine. By polymerization, the inverted emulsion was transformed to a white solid which was dry to the touch. The water-containing cured resin obtained showed considerably higher physical and other properties than those of commercial unsaturated polyester.

Reaction mechanism in crystalline solids: kinetics and conformational dynamics of the Norrish type II biradicals from α-adamantyl-p-methoxyacetophenone

In an effort to determine the details of the solid-state reaction mechanism and diastereoselectivity in the Norrish type II and Yang cyclization of crystalline α-adamantyl-p-methoxyacetophenone, we determined its solid-state quantum yields and transient kinetics using nanocrystalline suspensions. The transient spectroscopy measurements were complemented with solid-state NMR spectroscopy spin-lattice relaxation experiments using isotopically labeled samples and with the analysis of variable-temperature anisotropic displacement parameters from single-crystal X-ray diffraction to determine the rate of interconversion of biradical conformers by rotation of the globular adamantyl group. Our experimental findings include a solid-state quantum yield for reaction that is 3 times greater than that in solution, a Norrish type II hydrogen-transfer reaction that is about 8 times faster in crystals than in solution, and a biradical decay that occurs on the same time scale as conformational exchange, which helps to explain the diastereoselectivity observed in the solid state.     

Synthesis of polysubstituted 5-hydroxyhydantoins via ring-opening of isatins

A simple and efficient tandem reaction approach was developed for the synthesis of 5-hydroxyhydantoins from one-pot reaction of isatins, phthalic anhydride or succinic anhydride, and 1,3-dimethylurea (1,3-diethylurea). The products were gained through the ring-opening of isatins process. The advantages of this report are simple operation, mild reaction conditions, good yields and easily available raw materials. It was very important for us to obtain the intermediate product and that provided a solid basis for the correct interpretation of the reaction mechanism.     

Molecular Packing and Solid-State Photophysical Properties of 1,3,6,8-Tetraalkylpyrenes

The relationship between the photophysical properties and molecular orientation of 1,3,6,8-tetraalkylpyrenes in the solid state is described herein. The introduction of alkyl groups with different chain structures (in terms of length and branching) did not affect the photophysical properties in solution, but significantly shifted the emission wavelengths and fluorescence quantum yields in the solid state for some samples. Pyrenes bearing ethyl, isobutyl, or neopentyl groups at the 1-, 3-, 6-, and 8-positions showed similar emission profiles in both the solution and solid states. In contrast, pyrenes bearing other alkyl groups exhibited an excimer emission in the solid state, similar to that of the parent pyrene. On studying the photophysical properties in the solid state with respect to the obtained crystal structures, the observed solid-state photophysical properties were found to depend on the relative position of the pyrene chromophores. The solid-state photophysical properties can be controlled by the alkyl groups, which provide changing crystal packing. Among the pyrenes tested, 1,3,6,8-tetraethylpyrene showed the highest fluorescence quantum yield of 0.88 in the solid state.     

Novel neutral hexacoordinate benzamidinatosilicon(IV) complexes with SiN3OF2, SiN3OCl2, SiN3OBr2, SiN5O and SiN3O3 skeletons

The neutral pentacoordinate monoamidinatosilicon(IV) complex 1 (SiN(2)Cl(3) skeleton) and the neutral hexacoordinate monoamidinatosilicon(IV) complexes 2-9 (SiN(3)OF(2), SiN(3)OCl(2), SiN(3)OBr(2), SiN(5)O and SiN(3)O(3) skeletons) were synthesised and characterised by elemental analyses, single-crystal X-ray diffraction (except for 1) and NMR spectroscopy in the solid state and in solution. Compounds 2-9 contain one bidentate monoanionic N,N'-diisopropylbenzamidinato ligand, one bidentate monoanionic ligand derived from 8-hydroxyquinoline and (i) two identical monoanionic ligands (F, Cl, Br, N(3), NCO, NCS, OSO(2)CF(3)) or (ii) one bidentate dianionic benzene-1,2-diolato ligand. The dynamic behavior of 2-4 (SiN(3)OX(2) skeleton; X = F, Cl, Br) and 9 (SiN(3)O(3)) in solution was studied by multinuclear variable-temperature NMR experiments. Compound 1 was synthesised by reaction of SiCl(4) with the corresponding lithium amidinate, and compound 2 was obtained by reaction of 1 with 8-hydroxyquinoline and triethylamine. Compound 2 served as the starting material in the syntheses of 3-9, in which the two chloro ligands of 2 were substituted by two identical (pseudo)halogeno ligands, two trifluoromethanesulfonato ligands or one benzene-1,2-diolato ligand. Compounds 3 and 4 contain the novel SiN(3)OBr(2) and SiN(3)OF(2) skeletons, while compounds 5-7 are the first neutral hexacoordinate silicon(IV) complexes with an SiN(5)O skeleton.     

Solid state reaction between α-naphthol and p-benzoquinone

The solid state reaction between α-naphthol and p-benzoquinone yields a red crystalline 1 : 1 adduct; in very concentrated solutions the red color can be seen, but it may be due either to Mulliken charge transfer or hydrogen bonding interactions. Kinetic studies of the solid state reaction by a capillary technique indicate that p-benzoquinone is the diffusing species, and that either surface migration or vaporphase diffusion plays an important role in the rate of complex formation. Microscopic examination of a single crystal of α-naphthol in the presence of p-benzoquinone vapor suggests that the reaction occurs only at defect centers on the α-naphthol surface. Since the reaction in the solid state goes to completion, it is suggested that cracks and crevices are formed, through which p-benzoquinone can diffuse easily into the lattice of the complex.     

Synthesis of bis(isoindolo-1,2-sym-triazol-5-on-2-yls) and 10,10′-arylenebis[7H-benzo-[de]-sym-triazolo[5,1-a]isoquinolin-7-ones]

Methylthiofurane: Herstellung und Reaktionen

Preparation and Reactions of Methylthiofurans By lithiation of 3,4-dimethoxyfuran, 2-methylfuran and furan, followed by reaction with dimethyldisulfide, the methylthiofurans 2, 8 , and 10 have been prepared. Reaction of 8 with maleic anhydride has yielded 6-methyl-3-(methylthio)phthalic anhydride ( 9 ), a yellow substance with a strong greenish fluorescence, obviously formed by elimination of H₂O from an unstable cycloadduct. An analgous reaction of 2 resulted in an unexpected mixture from which the following yellow compounds were isolated: 3-hydroxy-4,5-dimethoxy-6-(methylthio)phthalic anhydride ( 3 ), 4-hydroxy-5-methoxy-3,6-bis(methylthio)phthalic anhydride ( 4 ), and bis(S-methyl) (2Z,4E,6Z)-2,3,6,7-tetramethoxy-4,5-bis(methylthio)-2,4,6-octatrienethioate ( 5 ). Compound 5 is also formed on standing of 2 at RT. Mild acid hydrolysis of 2 results in ring-opening accompanied by an intramolecular oxido-reduction to yield S-methyl(3Z)-3-methoxy-4-(methylthio)-2-oxo-3-butenethioate ( 6a ). The structures of compounds 5 and 6a have been determined by X-ray analysis.
