A comparative study of triphenylamine,triphenylphosphine, triphenylarsine,triphenylantimony and triphenylbismuth as ligands in the rhodium-catal yzed hydroformylation of 1-dodecene

Triphenylarmine, triphenylphosphine, triphenylarsine, triphenylantimony and triphenylbismuth were evaluated on the basis of olefin to aldehyde conversion, and also on the basis of the normal/iso (n / i) product ratio, as ligands in the rhodium-catalyzed hydroformylation of 1-dodecene. Two series of reactions were conducted which differed only in total reaction time (120 minutes vs 135 minutes) and in the ligand/rhodium ratio (60:1 vs 300:1). Both reactions series employed 35 grams of 1-dodecene, a 176 ppm rhodium charge, 100 psig of 1:1 H₂ / CO, and a reaction temperature of 90° C. In the 60:1 vs 330:1 reaction series, triphenylamine gave olefin conversions and n / i ratios of 2.0%, 2.0 vs 5.8%, 1.8; triphenylphosphine gave 95%, 4.4 vs 86.9%, 8.7; triphenylarsine gave 58%, 3.1 vs 85.8%, 3.5; triphenylantimony gave 13.0%, 6.1 vs 3.5%, 9.1 respectively. Triphenylbismuth failed to promote hydroformylation in both reaction series. These data demonstrate that regiospecificity, as measured by the n / i product ratio, varies inversely to increased ligand basicity.

Twin liquid crystals and segmented thermotropic polyesters containing azobenzene—effect of spacer length on LC properties

We report systematic studies on a homologous series of twin liquid crystalline (LC) molecules based on phenyl and naphthyl azobenzene ( PnP and NpnNp ) as well as segmented copolyesters based on them. The twin series had the structure azobenzene–oligooxyethylene–azobenzene, where the ethyleneoxy length was varied from 2 to 6 units. The LC properties of the twin series depended on the chemical structure of the azochromophore and also the length of the central oligooxyethylene segment. The PnP series exhibited smectic LC properties for n > three oligooxyethylene units. Conversely, NpnNp series exhibited spherulitic phases only for the shortest member – Np2Np . One non‐LC short spacer twin ( P2P ) and one LC long spacer twin ( P6P ) were incorporated as part of a main chain polyester composed of fully aliphatic segments of sebacate and di or tetraethylene glycol (DEG/TEG) units by melt polycondensation. Non‐LC P2P formed LC polymers even at low (5 mol %) incorporation in DEG‐based copolymers, whereas the LC‐ P6P could do so only at 30 mol % incorporation. The LC properties of the twin molecules as well as copolymers were studied using differential scanning calorimetry, polarized light microscopy (PLM) along with variable temperature wide angle X‐ray diffraction. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Comparative Study of Different Operation Modes of Microbial Fuel Cells Treating Food Residue Biomass

Four multiple air–cathode microbial fuel cells (MFCs) were developed under the scope of using extracts from fermentable household food waste (FORBI) for the production of bioelectricity. The operation of the MFCs was assessed in batch mode, considering each cell individually. Τhe chemical oxygen demand (COD) efficiency was relatively high in all cases (>85% for all batch cycles) while the electricity yield was 20 mJ/gCOD/L of extract solution. The four units were then electrically connected as a stack, both in series and in parallel, and were operated continuously. Approximately 62% COD consumption was obtained in continuous stack operation operated in series and 67% when operated in parallel. The electricity yield of the stack was 2.6 mJ/gCOD/L of extract solution when operated continuously in series and 0.7 mJ/gCOD/L when operated continuously in parallel.     

Investigation of interaction in C60 embedded complexes (X@C60) (X = alkali or halogen) at a series of radial positions by Buckingham potential function

Two typical series of C₆₀ embedded complexes (X@C₆₀) (X = Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs; F, Cl, Br, I) have been chosen to study as prototypes, in which the Buckingham potential (exp-6-1) function was applied to calculating the interactions of the atom pairs. The potential parameters are obtained from related crystals by the simulations using molecular mechanics methods. To utilize the symmetry of the potential field in C₆₀, the calculation is carried out along five typical radial directions. The computational results show that the interaction between the embedded atom and the C₆₀ cage is not purely electrostatic. The repulsive energy, E_rep, accounts for from 0.2% to 6.6% (for the alkali series), and from 1.5% to 58% (for the halogen series); the dispersive energy E_dis accounts for from 1.2% to 6.5% (for the alkali series), and from 2.2% to 42% (for the halogen series); and the electrostatic energy, E_es, accounts for 99% to 87% (for the alkali series) and from 96% to 0% (for the halogen series) when the embedded atom is put at the center of the cage. E_rep reaches up to 8% ∼ 35% (alkali), and 16% ∼ 704% (halogen); E_dis up to 4% ∼ 16% (alkali) and 7% ∼ 26% (halogen); and E_es falls down to about 88% ∼ 49% (alkali), and 96% ∼ 0% (halogen), when the embedded atom deviates 1.8 A from the cage center. The total interactions, E_inter, are all attractive for X (X = Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs; F. Cl, Br), but repulsive for the I atom. It is shown that the potential field in the C₆₀ cage has nearly spherical symmetry in an area with a radius of 1.8 Å around the cage center. The same kinds of interactions for the atoms in the two individual series are compared, and some variation rules are obtained. For (Li@C₆₀), the minimum energy equilibrium point deviates from the center by about 0.5 Å. © 1996 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

CATALYTIC HYDROGEN TRANSFER OVER MAGNESIA, XVII. a HYDROCARBONS AS HYDROGEN DONORS

Donor activity of cyclohexene and a series of n-alkanes in catalytic hydrogen transfer to various organic groups over magnesia as a catalyst has been determined. Styrene, phenylacetylene, benzaldehyde and acetophenone were not reduced by cyclohexene in the temperature range 523-673 K. Cyclohexene oxide was reduced to cyclohexanol (38%) and nitrobenzene to aniline (56%) by cyclohexene under adopted conditions (673 K). The highest yield of aniline (57%) from nitrobenzene was reached at 673 K in the presence of n-decane from a series of C6 - C16 n-alkanes used as hydrogen     

Thermotropic aromatic copolyesters of catechol

Three new series of thermotropic aromatic main-chain polymers were synthesized and studied by differential scanning calorimetry and hot-stage polarized microscopy. The polymers were random copolyesters of p-hydroxybenzoic acid (from 60 to 10 mol %), catechol (from 20 to 45 mol %), and one of the following dicarboxylic diacids: terephthalic acid (series 1 ), 2,6-naphtalenedicarboxylic acid (series 2 ), and 1,2-bis-p-carboxyphenoxy ethane (series 3 ). Copolyesters with more than 25 mol % catechol in their structures were soluble in common organic solvents such as chloroform. All the synthesized copolyesters showed hysteresis of the heat capacity at the mesophase glass transition region and nematic mesophases above their T_g's which were stable over very broad ranges of temperature. Copolyesters containing the 2,6-naphtylenedioyl group showed the most stable nematic phases due to the increased anisometry of the 2,6-naphtylenedioyl unit compared to that of the therephthaloyl or the 4-oxybenzoyl units. © 1992 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Lateral sol–gel cross-linking of polyurethane using the a grafted triethoxysilyl group

3-Triethoxysilylpropyl isocyanate was used to graft a triethoxysilyl group to polyurethane (PU), and the grafted triethoxysilyl groups were used to cross-link PU chains through a sol–gel process. The soft segment melting temperature and enthalpy change were not significantly altered by the sol–gel cross-linking. The sol–gel cross-linked PUs exhibited significantly increased tensile strength and better tensile strain compared to the plain linear PU: the maximum stress and strain increased to 41 MPa and 1,972 %, respectively. Control series containing tetraethyl orthosilicate, a series without cross-linking, was also prepared for comparison with the sol–gel cross-linked PU series. The control series did not exhibit the increased tensile strength shown by the sol–gel cross-linked PU series. The cyclic shape memory tests demonstrated that the shape recovery was as high as 97 %, and both shape recovery and shape retention remained high after the four repeated tests. The sol–gel cross-linked PU series exhibited enhanced low-temperature flexibility compared to the plain linear PU due to the flexible silyl cross-linking group.

Controlled‐synthesis of Slightly Crosslinked Poly(dimethyldiallylammonium chloride)s Used as Useful Polycationic Dye‐fixatives on Cotton Fabric

A series of slightly crosslinked poly (dimethyldiallylammonium chloride) s (PDMs) as useful polycationic dye‐fixatives on cotton fabric were synthesized by copolymerization of triallylmethylammonium chloride (TAMAC) and dimethyldiallylammonium chloride (DM). The structures of slightly crosslinked PDMs could be controlled by varying molar ratio of TAMAC to DM during polymerization, and their molecular weights were possibly controlled by adjusting different polymerization conditions. The results showed, under the same conditions that the polymerization temperatures were kept at 65 °C for 6 h and then heated to 80 °C for 2 h, when the initial monomer concentrations (w/w) were increased from 37% to 50%, the initiator amount were gradually decreased from 9% to 5%, a series of slightly crosslinked PDMs with controlled structures of 1%‐5% TAMAC molar contents and controlled intrinsic viscosities of 0.18～0.65 dL/g were successfully synthesized, which were as designed and could be expected as novel useful polycationic dye‐fixatives on cotton fabric.

Positive cooperativity in the template-directed synthesis of monodisperse macromolecules

Two series of oligorotaxanes R and R' that contain -CH(2)NH(2)(+)CH(2)- recognition sites in their dumbbell components have been synthesized employing template-directed protocols. [24]Crown-8 rings self-assemble by a clipping strategy around each and every recognition site using equimolar amounts of 2,6-pyridinedicarboxaldehyde and tetraethyleneglycol bis(2-aminophenyl) ether to efficiently provide up to a [20]rotaxane. In the R series, the -NH(2)(+)- recognition sites are separated by trismethylene bridges, whereas in the R' series the spacers are p-phenylene linkers. The underpinning idea here is that in the former series, the recognition sites are strategically positioned 3.5 ? apart from one another so as to facilitate efficient [π···π] stacking between the aromatic residues in contiguous rings in the rotaxanes and consequently, a discrete rigid and rod-like conformation is realized; these noncovalent interactions are absent in the latter series rendering them conformationally flexible/nondiscrete. Although in the R' series, the [3]-, [4]-, [8]-, and [12]rotaxanes were isolated after reaction times of <5-30 min in yields of 72-85%, in the R series, the [3]-, [4]-, [5]-, [8]-, [12]-, [16]-, and [20]rotaxanes were isolated in <5 min to 14 h in 88-98% yields. It follows that while in the R' series the higher order oligorotaxanes are formed in lower yields more rapidly, in the R series, the higher order oligorotaxanes are formed in higher yields more slowly. In the R series, the high percentage yields are sustained throughout, despite the fact that up to 39 components are participating in the template-directed self-assembly process. Simple arithmetic reveals that the conversion efficiency for each imine bond formation peaks at 99.9% in the R series and 99.3% in the R' series. This maintenance of reaction efficiency in the R series can be ascribed to positive cooperativity, that is, when one ring is formed it aids and abets the formation of subsequent rings presumably because of stabilizing extended [π···π] stacking interactions between the arene units. Experiments have been performed wherein the dumbbell is starved of the macrocyclic components, and up to five times more of the fully saturated rotaxane is formed than is predicted based on a purely statistical outcome, providing a clear indication that positive cooperativity is operative. Moreover, it would appear that as the R series is traversed from the [3]- to the [4]- to the [5]rotaxane, the cooperativity becomes increasingly positive. This kind of cooperative behavior is not observed for the analogous oligorotaxanes in the R' series. The conventional bevy of analytical techniques (e.g., HR-MS (ESI) and both (1)H and (13)C NMR spectroscopy) help establish the fact that all the oligorotaxanes are pure and monodisperse. Evidence of efficient [π···π] stacking between contiguous arene units in the rings in the R series is revealed by (1)H NMR spectroscopy. Ion-mobility mass spectrometry performed on the R and R' series yielded the collisional cross sections (CCSs), confirming the rigidity of the R oligorotaxanes and the flexibility of the R' ones. The extended [π···π] stacking interactions are found to be present in the solid-state structures of the [3]- and [4]rotaxanes in the R series and also on the basis of molecular mechanics calculations performed on the entire series of oligomers. The collective data presented herein supports our original design in that the extended [π···π] stacking between contiguous arene units in the rings of the R series of oligorotaxanes facilitate an essentially rigid rod-like conformation with evidence that positive cooperativity improves the efficiency of their formation. This situation stands in sharp contrast to the conformationally flexible R' series where the oligorotaxanes form with no cooperativity.     

Synthesis and characterization of new type soluble poly(amide–imide)s based on 6FDA imide modified polyterephthalamides

A series of new poly(amide–imide)s (PAIs, series III ) with good processability and characteristics was synthesized by utilizing organosoluble polyimide (PI, 6FDA–PI series) to improve poor‐solubility polyamide (PA, PTPA series), which used terephthalic acid (TPA) as a monomer. The III series PAIs were synthesized starting from the 2 : 1 molar ratio of aromatic diamines ( I ) and 6FDA to prepare imide ring‐preformed diamines ( II ) and then reacted with equimolar amount of TPA by direct polycondensation. Furthermore, by adjustment of the stoichiometry of the I , II, and TPA monomers, PAIs IV having various components were prepared. Most of the resulting PAIs having inherent viscosities between 0.70 and 1.74 dL/g were obtained in quantitative yields, and they were readily soluble in polar solvents such as N,N‐dimethylacetamide, N‐methyl‐2‐pyrrolidone, dimethylformamide, and dimethyl sulfoxide. All of the soluble PAIs afforded transparent, flexible, and tough films. The glass‐transition temperatures of PAIs III were in the range of 236–256 °C, and the 10% weight loss temperatures were recorded at 522–553 °C in nitrogen. The char yields of the III series polymers in nitrogen atmosphere were all higher than 56% even at 800 °C. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci A: Polym Chem 39: 93–104, 2001
