Radical Polymerization and Copolymerization of Methyl α-(Fluoroalkoxymethyl)acrylates and Characterization of Their Polymers

Abstract

Representatives of a new type of fluorine-containing monomer, methyl α-(fluoroalkoxymethyl)acrylates (MCFMA's), were prepared. The fluoroalkoxy groups introduced were OCH₂CF₃, OCH₂CF₂CF₂H, and OCH(CF₃)₂. All the monomers synthesized readily polymerized to number-average molecular weights of 55,000 to 110,000 at a 2 mol/L monomer concentration in dioxane using 5 × 10^?3 mol/L of 2,2′-azobisisobutyronitrile at 60°C. The polymerization rate tended to decrease slightly with an increase in the size of the alkoxy group. Copoly-merization of MCFMA's with styrene revealed that the fluoroalkoxy-methyl group functions as an electron-attracting group depending on the number of fluorine atoms. According to thermogravimetric analysis, poly(MCFMA)'s were thermally less stable than poly(methyl methacrylate). Greater contact angles of the polymers from MCFMA's with water than poly(methyl methacrylate) were observed.

Syntheses,Structures and Characterizations of Two New Zinc(Ⅱ) Coordination Polymers Constructed from 3-(1H-Pyrazol-4-yl)-5-(pyridin-2-yl)-1,2,4-triazole and Different Carboxylate Ligands

Two new zinc(Ⅱ) coordination polymers, [Zn(ph)(H2 L)·H_2O]2 n(1) and [Zn(ip)(H2 L)-(H_2O)]n(2)(H2 ph = phthalic acid, H2 ip = isophthalic acid, H2L = 3-(1 H-pyrazol-4-yl)-5-(pyridin-2-yl)-1,2,4-triazole), have been successfully synthesized via hydrothermal reaction.

The single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies reveal that compounds 1 and 2 both exhibit 1D chain structures, and assemble into 2D and 3D supermolecules through hydrogen bonds or π-π interactions. Moreover, the thermal stability and luminescent properties of compounds 1 and 2 were also studied.

Investigation of supramolecular inclusion complexes with β-cyclodextrin of 1-(2-ethoxyethyl)-4-(pentyn-1-yl)-4-hydroxypiperidine and 1-(2-ethoxyethyl)-4-(pentyn-1-yl)-4-benzoyloxypiperidine oxalate by NMR spectroscopy

A comparative analysis of ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra of 1-(2-ethoxyethyl)-4-(pentyn-1-yl)-4-hydroxypiperidine, 1-(2-ethoxyethyl)-4-(pentyn-1-yl)-4-benzoyloxypiperidine oxalate and their inclusion complexes with β-cyclodextrin was performed. The differences in values of chemical shifts of ¹H and ¹³C nuclei of the substrates and the receptor in the inclusion complexes were determined. It was found that the formation of complexes of 1-(2-ethoxyethyl)-4-(pentyn-1-yl)-4-hydroxypiperidine and 1-(2-ethoxyethyl)-4-(pentyn-1-yl)-4-benzoyloxypiperidine oxalate with β-cyclodextrin was accompanied by insertion of one N-ethoxyethyl fragment of the substrate molecule into the inner sphere of one molecule of the receptor.

Synthesis and mesomorphic properties of 2-(4′-alkoxybiphenyl-4-yl)-1H-benzimidazole derivatives

Three series of 2-(4′-alkoxybiphenyl-4-yl)-1H-benzimidazole derivatives (nM-x), which possessed 5-nitrobenzimidazole (nM-N series), benzimidazole (nM-H series) or 5-methylbenzimidazole (nM-M series) units at the end of the molecule, were synthesised and characterised by infrared, ¹H- and ¹³C-nuclear magnetic resonance spectra, electrospray ionisation-mass spectrometry and elemental analysis. Their phase transition behaviour was investigated by differential scanning calorimetry, polarising optical microscopy and X-ray diffraction. All the compounds exhibited enantiotropic smectic mesophases with wide temperature domains for a carbon number in the alkoxy chain from 6 to 16, where the mesophase ranges were 14–91°C and 17–99°C during heating and cooling processes for the nM-N compounds, 7–25°C and 8–49°C for the nM-H compounds and 48–81°C and 52–85°C for the nM-M compounds, respectively. The effect of the length of alkoxy chain on mesomorphic properties was discussed. The nM-N and nM-M exhibited a much wider mesophase range whether during heating or cooling process than the corresponding nM-H series, especially for the longer terminal chain (n > 8), which indicated that the substituent in the benzimidazole moiety was helpful in increasing the mesophase stability.     

Kinetic Study of Radical Polymerization VIII. A Comprehensive Study of Solution Copolymerization of Vinyl Acetate and Methyl Acrylate by 1H‐NMR Spectroscopy

Radical copolymerization reaction of vinyl acetate (VA) and methyl acrylate (MA) was performed in a solution of benzene‐d₆ using benzoyl peroxide (BPO) as the initiator at 60°C. Kinetic studies of this copolymerization reaction were investigated by on‐line ¹H‐NMR spectroscopy. Individual monomer conversions vs. reaction time, which was followed by this technique, were used to calculate the overall monomer conversion, as well as the monomer mixture and the copolymer compositions as a function of time. Monomer reactivity ratios were calculated by various linear and nonlinear terminal models and also by simplified penultimate model with r _2(VA)=0 at low and medium/high conversions. Overall rate coefficient of copolymerization was calculated from the overall monomer conversion vs. time data and k _p  . k _t ^?0.5 was then estimated. It was observed that k _p  . k _t ^?0.5 increases with increasing the mole fraction of MA in the initial feed, indicating the increase in the polymerization rate with increasing MA concentration in the initial monomer mixture. The effect of mole fraction of MA in the initial monomer mixture on the drifts in the monomer mixture and copolymer compositions with reaction progress was also evaluated experimentally and theoretically.

Molecular and crystal structure of (pyrazin-1-ium-1-yl)(perfluoropyridin-4-yl) and (4,4′-bipyridin-1-ium-1-yl)(perfluoropyridin-4-yl)amides

The single crystal X-ray diffraction study of (pyrazin-1-ium-1-yl)(perfluoropyridin-4-yl) and (4,4??-bipyridin)-1-ium-1-yl(perfluoropyridin-4-yl)amides is performed. In all cases, the N⁺-N^? bond length is less than that of the single N_planar.-N_planar. bond, but considerably more than that of the double N=N bond, which indicates a weak involvement of the N^? lone pair of the C₅NF₄N^? group in conjugation with pyrazine or bipyridine moieties. Quantum chemical calculations by DFT/(PBE/L1), B3LYP/L1, and RI-MP2/L1 methods provide the geometry of amides similar to the experimental one. Crystals of (pyrazin-1-ium-1-yl)(perfluoropyridin-4-yl)amide form stacks mainly through F-?? interactions. The stacks are joined in 3D architecture by weak C-H??N and C-H??F hydrogen bonds. In the case of (4,4??-bipyridin)-1-ium-1-yl(perfluoropyridin-4-yl)amide crystals, an essential role is played by the ?? stacking interactions of heteroaromatic rings.

It has been shown that the ferrocene-containing compounds synthesized in the present work all demonstrate intramolecular charge transfer which is evidenced by the observation of the corresponding absorption bands with λ ^abs_max > 480 nm. The oxidation potential of ferrocene (E ^Fc_ox ) in all the compounds is higher than 700 mV.

     

Copolymerization of 4‐Propanoylphenyl Acrylate with Methyl Methacrylate: Synthesis,Characterization and Reactivity Ratios

The new acrylic monomer 4‐propanoylphenyl acrylate (PPA) was synthesized and copolymerized with methyl methacrylate (MMA) in methyl ethyl ketone at 70±1°C using benzoyl peroxide as a free radical initiator. The copolymers were characterized by FT‐IR, ¹H‐NMR and ¹³C‐NMR spectroscopic techniques. The compositions of the copolymers were determined by ¹H‐NMR analysis. The reactivity ratios of the monomers were determined using Fineman‐Ross (r₁=0.5535 and r₂=1.5428), Kelen‐Tüdös (r₁=0.5307 and r₂=1.4482), and Ext. Kelen‐Tüdös (r₁=0.5044 and r₂=1.4614), as well as by a nonlinear error‐in‐variables model (EVM) method using a computer program, RREVM (r₁=0.5314 and r₂=1.4530). The solubility of the polymers was tested in various polar and non‐polar solvents. The elemental analysis was determined by a Perkin‐Elmer C‐H analyzer. The molecular weights (M_w and M_n) of the copolymers were determined by gel permeation chromatography. Thermogravimetric analysis of the polymers reveals that the thermal stability of the copolymers increases with an increase in the mole fraction of MMA in the copolymers. Glass transition temperatures of the copolymers were found to increase with an increase in the mole fraction of MMA in the copolymers.     

Free-Radical-Initiated Polymerization of N(p-Phenoxy-phenyl)maleimide and Copolymerization with Styrene, α-Methylstyrene and β–Methylstyrene

Abstract

Synthesis and free-radical-initiated homopolymerization of phenoxy-phenylmaleimide (PhOPhMI) and copolymerization with styrene (St), (α-methylstyrene (αMeSt) and β–methylstyrene (β-MeSt) are described. It was found that alternating copolymers are formed under different monomer-to-monomer ratios in the feed and that the mechanism based on the participation of CT-complex best explains the formation of alternating copolymers. Equilibrium constants of CT-complexes are: K _PhOPhMI/St = 0.20 Lmol^?1; K_{PhOPhMI/αMeSt} = 0.05 Lmol^?1; K_{PhOPhMI/βMeSt} = 0.02 Lmol^?1. Homopolymer and co-polymers are film-forming materials, stable up to 350°C under TGA conditions. T_g s and higher transition temperatures are within the thermally stable region.
